Chicago, Dec. IA special to the
Post from Washington says:
A cable message of the greatest i'm
portance to the commercial interests
of the United States has gone from the
state department at Washington to
Madrid. 1t is tantamount to an infor-
NAL notice to the nations of the earth
that if trade discrimina tons against
the United States do not cease meas
ures will be adopted by the President
for the protection of American COM
merce under the authority of the act
of Congress of August Is, 1890. empow-
ering him to stop the importation Of
goods from countries that persist in
such Determinations
One of the chief offenders in this re-
spect is Spain and for that reason
Madrid is selected as point of at
tack, though the action would be
construed as indicating a
policy applicable to Germany. Den
mark, France, and many other nations
that have put an embargo on American
products.

| Omaha, Neb., Dee. 17.-John Burns
the London lockers friend, was &C
corded a hearty welcome by an audi
ence that filled the largest available
hall in the city tonight The audience
which greeted him included many repre-
sentative men of this city and promi-
nent among those who supported MIN
on the platform was Edward Rose
water, of the Omaha Bee. Mr.. Burns
opened with a warm appeal for trade
unionism, for support from the work rs
and for sympathy from al, classes of
the leaders in labor's battles. The
chief point of his address, however was
devoted to a scathing TRADE against
municipal jobbery and boodIeism and
he insisted that the wcTkingmen must
take This matter up fJr themselves. He
quoted figures to prove how, following
in the wake of Liverpool and Glasgow,
London was rapidly solving the un-
employed question through what was
known as the direct employment sys-
TEN and how through municipal owner.
ship of gas and electric lighting plants,
waterworks and street cars, the city
was taking the weapons out of the
hands of the monopolies and running
these public works for the pubMcs good.
In conclusion, he pointed out what he
considered the inconsistency OF the Dem
yer labor convention in adopting
doubtful attitude on the question of
political action when the constitution
of the federation distinctly stated it
to be the object of the organization to-
secure. legislation needed by the work
ing classes.
Mr. j. w. Benn, on. P, and Mr.. Rose
water also spoke. M. Rosewater said
he heartily supported the attitude Of Mr.
Burns in denounc.ng the contracting
out system of American municipal poll
tics.
After the meeting the party visited
the Bee building and was shown
through the various departments. Mr.
Burns leaves for Chicago with his co..
league, Mr. Benn, tomorrow afternoon
and will deliver his second speech in
that city Wednesday, going from there
to st. Louis.

HARRY t. HAYWARD ARRAIGNED
The Accused Sneered When the In
dictment Was Read.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec Hilary I.
Hayward was brought over from st.
Paul this afternoon to plead to the in
dictment charging him with the murder
of Catherine Cling, but asked a con-
tinuance and was granted till Saturday
morning next to make his plea.
At p. m. court was opened with
Judge Hicks on the bench and Hayward
stood before the bar as the clerk read
the indictment. H ywaTd gave d
slight sheer when that official read the
documents charging him with murder
in the first degree for aiding, abetting,
counselling, commanding, procuring and
h ring Claus a. BliXt 10 kill Catherine
Cling. For a few moments only he
paid attention, then he turned and
looked at the little crowd of attorneys
and eyed the crowd with evident in
terest. Never once did he quail.
What is your plea, guilty or not
guilty?" asked the clerk.
eff the court please broke in his
attorney, 1--WE would ask until Satur-
day morning to plead"
VERY well,' said the court, eff the
county attorney does not object we will
give until Saturday morning at 10
O'clock"
That was all. The prisoner was then
lodged in the county Jail in cage
directly below that occupied by B1fxt,
his accomplish, and apparently in the
best spirits ordered his supper sent to
him as soon as it was ready.

TO CLASSIFY LANDS.
A Favorable Report on Hartman,s
Bill to Appoint Commissioners.

Washington, Dec. 17.-[SpeciaI. 1.-THE
Senate public lands committee today
made a favorable report on Hartman's
bill providing for the appointment of
three commissioners in each land dis
trict in Montana and Occur dAlene
district, Idaho, whose duty it shall be
to examine and classify all lands con-
tanned in the grant to the Northern
Pacific.
There is good prospect that the fight
on this measure will be precipitated
by the Northern Pacific, which has a
strong lobby mere and will do all in
its power to defeat such measures as
are contemplated in the bill.

THE FRAKER CASE.

Today.

Kansas City. Mo-, Dec. 17.-Argu-
ments in the Fraker insurance case
were begun today and the case will
probably go to the jury tomorrow
During the day the doctors day book
was offered in evidence in an endeavor
to show his receipts would not have
enabled him to pay the premiums on
the $4,000 worth of policies he held.
Johnny Edmunds, Fraker's office boy.
whom the doctor had promised to take
to California, was recalled. He told
of his trip from Kansas City to New
York and return last summer and said
he beat his way all that distance. He
denied having seen the doctor during
the trip. The defense has all along
held to the theory thst Edmunds had
an appointment with and met the doc
tor while away from Kansas City.

PERRY MUST HANG.
Decision of the Lower Court AT.
frmed-DetaiIs of the Case.


Boise City, Dec. 17.-[Speciai. 1.-The
supreme court today affirmed the YER
dict in the case of Charles Mcnamara.
at Lava, Bannock county. He was an
employee of Mcnamara and he killed
him for less than 500 known to have
BEEN in the house. The murder was a.
most brutal one, McNamara's brains
being beaten out with an axe. Perry
was tried at Pocatello. He was found
guilty of murder in the first degree
and sentenced TO be hung on Septem-
Der rs. An appeal was taken. Perry's
at the trial was J. Ed Smith.
of Idaho Falls. The evidence was en-
tirely circumstantial. 1t was proven
in the triad that the officers had
caught Smith digging up money near
the scene of the murder. Blood-mark-
ed bills spent by Smith during the
trial were readily traced to Perry.

ence in q Gale.
San Frar cisco, Dec. 17.--Tliat tnc steam
Golfers Montserrat and Keweenaw have
been lost at sea with all on board, Is
now considered almost a certainty. The
Montserrat, from Nanaiino, and the
Keweeraw from Conlox, B. G., are both
seven days overdue at~this- port. For
several days tugs and coasting steamers
all along the northern coast have kept
a sharp lockout but no tidings of either
steamer have been received Both vessels
we're heavily loaded ana. Lhe prevailing
opinion is that they were lost almost to-
gether in the terrific gale that ragged of
Cape Flattery the nightt they put to
sea. The Monterrat, CAPTAIN BLACKBURN,
IIeweenaw, Captain Jenkins, had crew
of thirty men.
Anxiety is also felt for the banks Ger
mania and Columbia. The Germania,
laden With coal. has been out fifteen
days from Seattle and the Columbia, with
a cargo of lumber. sailed from Port
Bakeley thirteen days ago. However,
sailing passages of fourteen and sixteen
days are of frequent occurrence, and but
for the storm which the vessels must
have encountered no fear would be felt
for their safety. From reports received to
date it is positively known that at least
four vessels were wrecked during the
gale. The British ship Scottish Dales
was dismantled off Cape Flattery, but
was picked up by a steamer and lowed
into Port Townsend The bark John
Wooster was lost off Grays harbor on the
Washington coast. The schooner Gar
cia was wrecked off Tillalpook rock. Her
crew OF six men is stiff missing. The
schooner w. l.. Beebe was wrecked in the
breakers i'll an attempt to cross the San
Francisco bar. All the steamers and sail
ing crafts that have reached port, since
the storm report terrible experiences in
the gale, which prevailed all along the
coast north of San Francisco.

Minneapolis, Dec. 17.-Claus A. BliXt,
the self-confessed murderer of Gather
inc Cling, was arraigned in the district
court this morning, and in a. weak
voice pleaded not guilty. The case was
set for trial January 7th, in spite of
Attorney Ode1ls demand that 1T should
not be set earlier than January q.
When Blixt stood up at the bar and
his attorney entered the plea of not
guilty, County Attorney Nye was much
taken back. He spoke sharply to the
prisoner and asked if he understood
what he was doing. Blixt seemed
dazed but finally said half deffantly
that he did. Nye was forced to face
the probability of the trial of the case
where he had expected a plea Of guilty.
BEXt made no explanation of his ac-
ton and the state asked none
Harry Hayward will be arraigned in
the same court at $50 this afternoon.
This hour is chosen to avoid the curl
Gus crowd which has been Watching
for the arraignment for several days.
The defense of Blixt will be on the
plea of temporary insanity brought on
by the use of alcoholic stimulants
given by another for the purpose of
provoking the deed. Mr. O'Dell claims
to have medical testimony which, will
bear out this theory Hayward, he
claims, was unable to secure the SER
vices of BliXt in the fearful crime
until he had filled him with a. pint
of whisky taken almost at one dose.
He intends to show that alcohol had
a Grazing effect ordinarily on Blxt and
in this case the effect was more than
ordinary
