MINISTERS MEET IN SPECIAL COUNCIL
firn'vltjr if the "Itnatton Demand

Action Provide Pnbllc
Protection.
MADRID, Fob. 13. As wns anticipated the
fuucrnl of Don Ilamon do Caompomcr wai
attended by largo crowds. Tho weather was
beautiful. The cortrgo Included members
of tho cabinet and otLtr departments.
Mounted guards wvro stationed at strategic
points.
Considerable disorder marked tho prog
ress of tho procession, but tho troops, who
were In readiness, prevented any very for
midable outbreak until tho end of tho city
was reached. At that point tho demonstra
tors, which Included irany students, raised
tho cry of "Long llvo liberty!" and having
broken up Into small parties proceeded o
various parts of Madrid to renew the
demonstration. One band of students began
to stono a convent on Torljn street, and the
police were compelled to chnrgo them.
In tho evening fresh rlota took place sit
spvoral points, Tho gendarmes charged with
drawn swords and a number wero wounded
or bruised. Thcso wero carried Into the
pharmacies and cafes, Tho demonstrators
replied to tho charges of tho gendarmes
with showers of stones.
'thirty Arrest Mnilr.
Altogether somo thirty nrrcsts were made
during tho day, Including a military oluccr,
whoso arrest resulted In a protest by his
hrother olllccrs, tho matter being referred
to tho captain general. Tho authorities
l.avo warned tho newspapers that thoy
must abstain from criticism of acts of the
royal family or tho publication of news or
comments calculated to fan tho present agl
tatlon.
During tho afternoon tho ministers hold
nn Important council. Tho ovldcnt Inten
tion to deal seriously with offenders against
public ordor seems to bo having a most
tnlutary effect. Tho strong aggressive
methods of tho civil guards early In the
evening resulted In quiet In tho later part
of It, and Madrid, JUHt before midnight,
when this dispatch Is tiled, is calm, the
guards having bocn almost entirely with
drawn.
Effervescence continues, however, at
Unrcelona and Granada, whero tho gen
darmes havo been reinforced. At Malaga
antl-olerlcal demonstrators stoned a news
pHper ofllco and a policeman was wounded
by a revolver shot In Torjos street.

HANGS ON SIMPLE WORDS

"t ncxplnlncd Pnelnn."
Twelve good men and true have been
spending two nights and a day locked up In
a stuffy Jury room In the basement of the
courthouse because they are unable to un
derstand the term "unexplained possession."
This Jury Is acting In the case of the state
against Harvey Smith, charged with
burglary, and It retired to deliberate on a
verdict Tuesday afternoon.
At o o'clock yesterday afternoon Judge
Kstello sent for tho Jury and when Its
weary members shambled Into the court
room ho asked:
''Why can't you gentlemen agree? Are
you divided on a question of law or on a
question of facts?"
"Your honor," said the foreman, "I think
wo can teach an agreement pretty soon tf
Just one thing In tho court's Instructions Is
explained to us. Tho Instructions say that
If wo find tho defendant to have been In re
cent 'unexplained possession' of some of the
stolen goods wo may take that circumstance
sb an Indication of his guilt. Now, thera
aro Just two words we do not understand
and wo want the court to toll us what 'un
explained possession' means."
Tho court was up a treo. No such ques
tion had over appealed to tho Judiciary for
solution and thero wns absolutely no prece
dent to fall back upon. After the Judgo re
covered his equilibrium ho said:
"Well, gentlemen, If you don't under
stand what 'unexplained possession' means
I'm sure I can't help you out. I don't bo
Hevo a search of the primer would bring
out any simpler words. You may retire
again."
So the Jury spent another all-night ses
sion In nn endeavor to solve tho meaning of
"unexplained possession."

EUROPE IS FIGHTING FOR SUPREMACY

I'firelRii I.nnds.
WASH1NOTO.V. Feb. 13. The general
urvey of foreign trade, Introductory to tho
olume on "Commercial notations with tho
United States," which formed the subject of
special letters from the president and the
ecrotary of stato to congress has Just been
published by Frederick Emory, tha head of
the Bureau of Foreign Commerce and com
piler of this matter, In tho shapo of a
special number of tho "Advanco Sheets of
Consular Reports." As the tltlo Indicates,
the survey Js a compact presentation of tho
most Important and instructive features
of tho enormous mass of trado Information
which has been collected by tho United
States consuls throughout the world dur
ing the last year. The publication says
that along with n natural notu of satis
faction In tho annual reports of our
consular officers for tho Inst year there is
a strong hint of a most strenuous competi
tion and opposition to American trado ad
vancement abroad which may finally
counterbalance our superior advantages to
a certain extent and check our progress In
the world a mnrkcts, unless we equip our
selves meantime for tho ultimato phases
of tho struggle.
Our foreign trado today, as compared
w'lth that of recent years, shows a gain, re
markable because It has been achieved with
but llttlo effort, for It Is set forth that tho
appcaranco of tho United States as perhaps
tho most formidable of all competitors In
tbo fight for trade supremacy Is as astonish
ing to ourselves as to our foreign opponents.
Tho question for tho future, says the
publication, Is whether wo can hold the
position we seem about to gain, by means
of our economy of production, greater labor
efficiency and cheap raw materials or
whether wo shall have to arm ourselves
with weapons especially faBhtoncd for con
trolling foreign trade, such ns more
scientific export methods, better facilities
of banking and transportation, more liberal
credits and manufacturing for particular
markets with Intelligent regard to climatic
and raco requirements.
Iiicroime In Trmlr.
According to United States treasury re
turns tho Imports of this country for last
year In round numbers amounted to $330,
000,000 and tho exports to $1,478,000,000, an
Increase of over $30,000,00 In tho Import
trade, as compared with the preceding year,
and of $202,430,000 in exports. Of tho ex
ports, the percentage of manufactured goods
rose to n very considerable extent, nnd our
Industrial growth continued last year at n
rapid pace, enabling us to tako less finished
goods from other countries and to furnlBh
more. Tho relatlvo cheapness of American
products has given them pre-eminence. It is
shown, and tho remarkable growth of tho
foreign demand for our Iron and steel Is
cited as a striking Instance of what under
cutting In prices will do.
Foreign observers, particularly the
Drltlsh and tho Germans, aro shown to be
keenly alive to what'is being accomplished
by tho greater efficiency of our Industrial
methods and exhibit a purpose, to profit by
thera. and then to fight us with our own
weapons. A great number of expressions
from various sources aro presented, showing
the wholesome respect and fear with, which
tho powers of the world look upon tho
Unttcd States In the trado area of the
universe. Tho concentration of capital,
our suddenly acquired financial In
dependence, the excellence of our foreign
consular review, and, as most potent, the
valuable practical business education which
our sons receive, aro reasons advanced by
foreign commentaries for our remarkable
advancement In trade. As particularly
significant, a writer in the London Times
tells of a few evenings spent with some
students of a large American college, whero,
to his great amazement, the youths. Instead
of discussing the lighter sides of life, dis
coursed cleverly on questions that arose
out of tho business In which their sires
wero engaged. This would be looked upon
as the worst of bad form at an English unl
versify, but to It is attributed American
success In business.
Importance of Mcrclinnt Mnrluc
The importanco of building up a merchant
marine to further our trado with foreign
nations is touched upon at somo length and
the benefits of direct steamship transporta
tion emphasized, tho good effects of the
latter being stated to be particularly ap
parent In the cases of Peru and Turkey, in
each of which the establishment of better
steomshlp transportation facilities Immedi
ately led to a marked Increase In trade
To a lack In this respect is attributed the
slow growth of our trado with South
America.
Tho entrance of the south into tho trade
of the Orient Is spoken of as n novel
feature of our expansion. In tho production
nnd oxportntton of cotton the southern
states have mado gigantic strides of late.
Tbo acquisition of tho Hawaiian and Philip
pine Islands, It Is declared, has converted
our Pacific slope from a mere outpost of
trade Into a hive of commerce, whtlo Cuba
and Porto Rico offer the southern states
convenient stepping stones to Latin-Amerl
can trade.
Taking the great geographical divisions In
alphabetical order It is stated that Africa
Is rapidly becoming a promising field for
American enterprise, wherever artificial
restrictions aro not Imposed. In the wpst
there is an increasing demand for Amerl
can goods. In East Africa it is notlceablo
that In Madagascar, whoro Franco Imposes
n tariff discriminating in favor of its own
products, our cotton goodB trade, onco con'
slderablo, has been practically destroyed
whereas In Zanzibar and Somali country and
Abyssinia, where such restrictions do not
exlf.t, it continues to grow. Tho war in
South Africa has deranged the trade, but a
great Increase In American trade Is looked
for when peace shall havo been restored
On Our Own Continent.
On our own continent wo still control
moro than ono-half of Canada's trade; with
Mexico our trado relations are moat satis
factory and our goods appear to bo making
steady progress in Central America. In
this connection attention Is called to the
Increasing Investment of German capital In
Costa Rica, Guatemala and Nicaragua,
which Is estimated at $67,000,000.
In tho West Indies, and especially the
British possessions, our trado Is constantly
growing, and these Islands draw tho bulk
of Imported food supplies from us, as well
as an Increasing proportion of manufac
tured goodB.
In Cuba and Porto Rico sufficient time has
not yet elapsed, It Is stated, for rccupera
tlon from tho war and the readjustment
of Industrial nnd commercial conditions
but In both islands trade Is beginning to
revlvo with tho promise of gradual de
velopment on the lines of closer Intimacy
with tho united states.
In South America the trade has de
veloped slowly, except In Argentina ond
Peru, where It has Increased rapidly of
late.
As a matter of keen Interest to tho whol
commercial world, the progress of events
iu China and Its bearing upon trade Is dls
cussed at length. The United States Is
Bhown to have suffered as seriously. If not
more so, than any other nation, from tho
fact that thebulk of our exports had been
disposed of In North Chlna--tho scene o
most active disturbance.
A decided incrcaso of our exportation to
Asiatic Ilussla has taken place and the
winter of 1839-1D00 witnessed an enormous
Import of American products Into the
mur province.
Japan is an important gateway for our
hlncse trade. Our trade with that coun-
ry Itself Is steadily growing. The fears of
Japanese competition which a few years
go caused some concern In the United
States havo not been home out and it is
stated that Japan may be able to compete
with us at somo points In tho future, but
Its general development seems to mean
Increasing purchasing power and a larger
consumption of our goods.

''"tv'B'B Hi m'm'W
Tho Omiha Cooperngo factory nt Thirty-
fifth nnd I streets has clotcd down In-
eflnltely. This is the statement mado by
Manager R. M. Welch to tho prors yester
day ntternnou. Mr. Welch further said
guards would be employed In order to pre
vent tho men who havo qulto work from
committing nuy depredations.
Tho trouble has been caused by a reduc-
Ion in tho wages of tho machine workers,
which amounts, Mr. Welch stntes, to 2 cents
per barrel on wood work and ft cents ,er
barrel on whisky barrels.
It Is understood tho factory has i t:cugh
manufactured product on hand to complete
Its existing contracts nnd that there will be
no hurry In reopening tho works. All that
Is desired Is protection. Mannser Welch
called upon Mayor Kelly yesterday nnd nt
tho request of the former three special
policemen wero sworn In to gunrd tho prop
erty. Tho pay of thcso men will como from
tho cooperage company and not from the
lty.
Meetings of the machine coopers r.ro held
daily at tho headquarters of tho labor unions
it tho Packers' National l.nnk building
and yesterday tickets for n prlzo mosquerad"
ball, given by local union No. 10 for the
benefit of tbo strikers were placed on sale.
This ball will bo given In Washington hnll,
Omaha, Friday evening.
Thero was talk on tho streets Inst n.ght
that the strike would spread, but thin may
bo merely a rumor on account of tho elci.ltiR
down of tho works.
Fow coopers nro employed nt te packing
houses now, ns compared with old times.
At Swift's only four or five men nro kept on
the tinvrnll nnd llio snmo ttinv lui s.ald of the
balance of tho packing houses. Tho coopers
now out of employment will bo compelled,
it Is rumored, to seek other Holds, ns the
closing of tho cooperage plant will throw
so many out of work thnt places In the
packing houses cannot bo found for nil.
Tho llttlo disturbance nt tho plant yeutir-
day forenoon wns not considered serious,
although Chief Mitchell went over to In
vestigate.
For a long tlmo tho owners of this plant
havo been trying to sccuro additional ground
In order to erect additions to tho present
building, but tho South Omaha Land com
pany has blocked tho vacating of certain
streets asked for by Welch nnd thero Is no
telling when tho contemplated Improve
ments wfll be made.
Inquest In l'lpnl Clise.
Coroner Swnnson conducted nn Inquest
esterdny nftcrnoon over tho body of John
Pipal, and tho Jury nfter hearing tho testi
mony returned a verdict that Plpal camo to
his death by drinking carbolic acid admin
istered by his own hands.
Mrs. Pipal testified that for several weeks
her husband had been acting queerly nnd
complaining of n pain In tho nbdomlnnl re
gion. For threo or four days ho had been
irlnklng considerable nnd when ho re
turned from work Tuesday ho plainly
Bhowed the effects of liquor. Shortly after
reaching homo Plpal went Into his room and
drank tho carbolic acid. Beforo n physi
cian could reach him ho was dead.
It Is understood Plpal was a member of
two fraternal lodges nnd thnt ho carried
$3,000 ltfo Insurance. Tho funeral will
likely be from tho family homo, Twenty-
first and W streets, today, although ar
rangements were not completed Inst night.
Deceased was employed nt Swift's In tho
beef department.
Hunt Time Soclnl.
A hard times social will bo held at the
homo of Rev. Dr. nnd Mrs. R. L. Wheebjr
this evening, conducted by t,Uo circle of
King's Daughters of thnt church. Thero
will ho a musical and literary prngrnm nnd
refreshments will bo served. From a quiet
tip given out by Elder Merrill 't nppuurs
thnt those who attend will havo to hi? c.jrc
ful how they attlro themselves In order to
cscapo a fine. It will cost a woman who
does not wenr an apron a penny, whllo ono
with n silk dress, silk skirt or silk waist on
will forfeit D cents. Fines will bo Imposed
for "kurlcd or krimped haro or hnro ornu-
mints." It will also cost the women money
for wearing shoes, eyeglasses or collars. As
tho men, nccordlng to tho cider, they will
get lined whether they attend or not. If
thoy go dressed ns ordinary mortals It will
bo well to tako along a sectoln of a national
bank, for n fine Is marked up against nearly
overy artlctlo of men's nppnrel.
Hnt Side Club .licet.
An Important meeting of tho East Sld3
Improvement club will be tonight In tho
rented school room nt Twentieth street und
Missouri avenue. Ono of tho questions to
bo brought up Is how to sccuro tho cxten
sion of tho Thirteenth street motor line
from Rlvervlew park to Twenty-fourth and
L streets. Asldo from this feature thc.ro
will bo tho opening of Twentieth f'.r.;ct
from G street north to tho city llmlin.
Somo of tho East SVdcrs say thero Is no
ntcesslty for spending a largo sum cf money
In opening' N street, ns tho Btrect cars can
Hist as well como up M street or Missouri
avenue, and nn approach to tho tracks can
be constructed for very llttlo money.
