SAN ANroNIA, Tex, April 19-The
spring wool clip is beginning to arrive in
this market. The work of shearing H..
900 head of sheep on the ranch of j. z.
Burr began today. The wool will be bet
ter than for years, being long, clean and
bright. Mr.. Burr thinks better prices
will be received Tor this springs clip by
about 8 cents per pound than the clip a
year ago. He also thinks that the price
for good mutton will go higher, as the
greater number of Western fed mutton
have been marketed.

THE PEOPLE RULE.

The chamber of representatives. in
Brussels has adopted universal suffrage
with a provision tor plural voting by
classes owning property. This action
of the legislative body was impelled
by determined riots in that city during
the past few days, and which threat
ened to eventually mature in wide
spread revolution similar to that which
changed the political complexion of
France during the latter Part of the
last century. The age is one of pro-
gression in other matters than those Of
scientific discoveries, and the common
people car no longer be treated as
serfs and tyrannized over at the will
of every despot. Permeating the
masses is the leaven of democracy, and
if it had not been for the standing
armies of the monarc chies of Eu-
rope, an explosion might be expected
any day that would render unstable
every kingly throne in the old world.
The soldiers of the czar, composed of
ignorant peasants, are the most loyal
subjects Of the emperor; but nihilism
has quite a hold on the officers. In
Germany the paternalIsm of the gov
ernment cools the rancor of revolution;
but the educated soldiers and officers
are leaning toward free Institutions.
These Teutons move slowly, but, like
their northern descendants, the Eng
lish, when once in motion an avalanche
is not more powerful. Belgium has
set the example, and the contagion
will spread to her neighbors.
In Great Britain, constitutional
monarchy, with predominant demo-
cratic element in active existence, po-
litical upheavals are displayed In a
different manner than the recent one
in Brussels. lIome-rule for Ireland,
and the bill introduced in parliament
for the settlement of labor troubles by
councils Of arbitration, are forward
movements which must eventually end
in the amelioration of the poorer
classes. Hereditary monarchy and the
house of lords are doomed, and the
signs of the times unquestionably in
dicate that these must be blotted from
the British constitution. The revolu-
tion is beginning, and its work, if slow
in England, will be very thorough.
Even in this country there are signs
of commotion in the lower strata Of
our population. Corporations and
capital are no longer supreme, and
frequently combined labor organiza-
tions dictate terms to their employers.
The recent decisions of our courts in
favor of the rights of laborers show
the trend of public opinion, and that
the rights of the wage-earner are be-
coming as sacred as that of the mill
ionaire. In England and America the
ballot-box can be used by the people
as effeetually as arms, and a radical
change may be made in either country
without the explosion of bombs.
The world is advancing in a very
manner. Riots in conti-
mental Europe, home-rule and arbitra-
lion for labor troubles in England, and
strikes in factories aud on the great
lines in the United
States, are indications that a commo-
lion is in operation which will clear
,he political atmosphere of the malaria
If despotism. 1t will be no surprise

events if the world in the next CEN
ury is republican, and not single
monarchy exists.

CAMBRIDGE, Mlnn., April l9-The

burned today with all the household
effects, and the man, his wife and two
children were cremated alive. Two OF
his neighbors had spent the day with
Erickson and the three drank literally o:

The Behr,ng Sea Arbitration.

PARIS, April 1s-At Mondays sitting
OF the Behring sea court of arbitration
James G. Carter, counsel for the United
States, continued his speech in support
OF the American contention. He recap
itulated the arguments advanced last
week, and then proceeded to show that
the jurisdiction Of the United States had
always been based upon property inter-
est, not sovereign dominion over the sea.
Carter quoted from the opinions of Eug-
lish Jurisis regarding the ukase issued by
Russia in 1891. America and Great Bri
tain had jointly protested against this
ukase, but Great Britain had withdrawn
her protest because of the Munroe doc.

yi,Iard and the Nnrthern Pacific.

NEW YORK, April 1s-It is reported
on Wall street on good authority that
there has been a change in the status of
Northern Pacific affairs. The stock
holders committee believed Its plan for
funding the floating debt, and as an
incident the retirement of Willard, would
go through. 1t was believed that Vii
lard contemplated the pew arrangement,
and that his resignation would be an
nounced this spring. Recently, however,
Wizards position seemed to change and
the committee Is satisfied Willard will
not resign at present. This delays the
other plans and creates the probability

that the interests represented by The

present, but try to secure stock and
proxies enough during the summer to es-
tahlIsh control at the annual meeting
next fall.

AN AWFUL SCENE .

The sight was the most awful one any
body in the vicinity bad ever seen
Waves fully Is feet high dashed over The
crib with terrific force. ALI that was left
of the CRIB was a couple OF posts that had
supported the house and one of the
pumps. The two large boilers, the en-
glne, one or two pumps. the air compress
sor plant and the 10000 brick that were
on the CRIB had been washed off.
Twenty minutes after the house was
washed out of existence, the entire ma
chinery, and whatever else the house con
;ained that had been left, was lifted di-
rectly into the air. apparently by the
combined force OF the waves and wind,
and everything was hurled into the ra-
giDg sea, many feet below the level OF
the crib. One of the most pltiful incl
dents in connection with the disaster was
the spectacle of the aged father of Engi-
neer Dwyer pacing to and fro on the
beach. vainly trying to see through the
mist and catch a glimpse of the poor boys
cIIngiDg to the crib. Joe is home sick,
good for him." he said. "but Mikey is out
there, aDd / wish he was home sick, too. !"

The tug Welcome has returned from the

die from exposure and exhaustion. As
there are no signs of any of the

The man rescued from. the wrecked
water works by the tug Welcome and the

an anxious crowd that stood on the shore
and looked at the CRIB this morning.

Quite a little crowd of sight seers
visited her this afternoon and in
spected her wrenched plates and mangled

few days will suffice to get her into
condition again, so that she will with
out doubt start in Mondays race.
The blade Of her rudder is bent
round and crumpled up like a sheet Of
paper where she went onto the rocks,
and her steering gear also suffered
somewhat. Her plates are loosened.

her whole length, but especially amid
ships, where she rested on the rocks
after striking
When It is considered that she
pounded on the rocks for FIVE hours in
the height of Mondays storm before
the Wild Duck and the tug could get her
of, it speaks well for the honesty Of her
construction that her injuries were not
more serious. Although she leaked a
good deal, the water did not come up
over the cabin floor, and the injuries to
her fittings were confined to wetting a
few rugs. A steam siphon was put into
her for the tow around to Boston, and
easily kept her free.

arrived off Lawley's and anchored on the
