GBRMANY'S WOOLEN TRADE.
why Weavers Have to Watch Two
Looms-American Market.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16, 1897.-Foreign
competition is the cause assigned by
German wooden manufacturers for the
adoption of the system just put into ef-
feet of compelling one weaver to care for
two looms, after the practice in vogue in
England. Consul Monaghan, at Cham
nitz, in reporting this to the State De-
partment, explains that this reduction in
the cost of production is due to the at
tempt to recover the United States market
taken from the AK la Chappelle weavers
by England and he says
mo one who knows anything about the
nerve tension consequent upon running
all kinds of textile machines, but will
pity the people compelled to run two
looms where formerly they tended one.
Less pay, relatively more work, physical
exhaustion and quicker general debility
and dependency are to be the results.
Hundreds are to be turned out of em-
ployment who know no other way to win
a livelihood. The promises to find em-
ployInent for them in other branches are
too hollow to have any effect except to
raise hopes that will never be realized.
However the woolen industries of the
whole empire are put in danger. Manu-
facturers must move forward. 1t is part
of the fight for life, which after all, fool
ish as it may seem, is the fight to be

OVATION TO GENTLEMAN jim.
CoFbett's Journey TO Nevada Evekes
Much Enfh usiasm.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 16, 1ss7.-James
]. Corbett, while en- route to his training
quarters in Nevada, was the recipient of
as many honors as a Presidential candi-
date. At every little station between San
Francisco and Sacramento as soon as the
train stopped at the depot crowds throng-
ed around the sleeper and begged for a
sight of the heavyweight pugilist. Cor
bett was in excellent humor and gratified
the curiosity of his admirers at every
point.
At Sacramento there was large and
enthusiastic crowd assembled at the de-
pot when the train pulled in ard Corbett
minutes, the crowd cheering and yelling
like men gone mad.
Dan Stuart will meet Corbett In Reno
and after a short business chat the pugil-
istic promoter will journey to San Fran
cisco to complete some important busi-
ness arrangements connected with the
gambling end of the fighting. carnival.

ing manager can secure two firSt-class
pugilists who will agree to do battle to
a finish for a small purse, Which must
not exceed $500, there will not be Sec

Stuart says that the second fight will
not bring any more people to Carson than
the crowd that will be present on the 18th
of March to see the championship battle,
consequently he is not very anxious to
match any of the champions unless they
are willing to go in and scrap for the
honor and glory that may be attached to

MEXICOS LACK OF HARBORe.
why It Is Necessary TO Pack Goods
Sent by Sea with Great Care.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1Ss7.--The Sec
tion of the Mexican coast from Vera
Cruz to Progresso being destitute of safe
harbors causes Consul Oliver, at Merida,
to again warn American exporters
through the State Department to pack
their goods more securely in order to
stand the rough handling to which they
are invariably subjected in the transfer
from ships to lighters in the open sea
which for five months of the year is
stirred up by the ''Northers."
Merchants in Mexico are unanimous in
their complaints of the careless manner
in which merchandise is packed in the
United States, and this leads to a large
loss Of trade which has gone to Europe
where with single eye to the condition
referred to extreme caution is taken in
packing.
These. complaints are similar to those
which for years have reached the State
Department from both coasts. of the
American continent, as we'll as from
Africa and Oceanica. and there is no
doubt of the great injury to the trade re-
lations Of the United States on account
of this false economy.

GIVE THE BOYS A CHANCE.
Oppose Permissien TO Send U. s
Cadets to tho IrauguratIoD.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16, 18o7.-The reso-
luton to permit the United States cadets
at the West Point and Annapolis acad-
emies to participate in the ceremonies at
tending the Inauguration of President
Mckinley was called up in the House
Military Committee this morning by the
Chairman, Mr. Hull, of Iowa. It was i'm
mediately antagonized.
The principal speech in opposition was
made by Mr.. Washington of Tennessee,
who doubted the propriety of ordering
the cadets to Washington at this time.
He showed that the boys had not ap-
peared in any inaugural parade since the
induction into Office of General Grant. lie
thought it 'inadvisable to take the cadets
from their studies and he spoke par
ticularly of the danger to their health
which might result If the weather ON
the 4th of March next should be cold
and raw, as had frequently been the case
heretofore.
Mr.. Bishop. of Michigan, moved, when
the brief discussion ended, that further
consideration of the resolution be indefin-
ftely postponed. Six members supported
the resolution; five opposed it, and the
chairman, Mr.. Hull, who voted in the ne
gative succeeded in tieing the vote and the
motion was lost A subsequent motion to
refer the resolution to the Secretaries of
War and Navy was agreed to without di-
vision. 1t is expected that the report of
both secretaries will be in the hands of
the chairman to be laid before the MEM
bers at next Fridays meeting.

RHODES OMJNOUs TALK.
Cecil Says the Present Transvaal
Status Cannot Continue.
BIZ Cable to the T1lited Press.

LONDON, Feb. 16, 18s7.-The Parlia-
mentary Committee recently appointed
by the House of Commons to inquire into
the causes and circumstances of the
troubles in the Transvaal began its sit
tings today. The committee room was
crowded with privileged persons, among
whom was the Prince of Wales, who
showed great interest in the proceedings
Mr.. Cecil Rhodes, formerly Prime Min
lister of the Cape Colony and the active
director of the affairs of the British South
Africa Company, was sworn and took
the stand as the first witness examined.
Mr.. Rhodes read long statement detail
ing the occurrences in British South At
RIGA and the Transvaal prior to the raid
led by DR.. Jameson into the Boer ter
ritory, and dwelt at some length upon
the general feeling of discomfort which
had arisen as consequence of the cor
rupt management of the Transvaal Gov
ernment and its refusal to. concede the
rights of the Uitlanders. He was in
sympathy with the Uitlanders in their
grievances and to assist a movement de-
signed to obtain for them their consti-
tutional rights. he had placed on the
Transvaal frontier, under the orders of
DR.. Jameson, a force of troops with in
structions to act should certain events
arise.
Mr. Rhodes admitted that he had not
communicated to the directors of the
Chartered Company notice eff all his
actions, which. however, were made in
perfect good faith and under the influence
of his belief that it was the intention of
the Transvaal Government to introduce
into the Boer Republic the influence of a
foreign power.
At this point Sir William Harcourt in
terrupted Mr.. Rhodes and asked:-''Was
your object to overthrow the Transvaal
Government"
Mr. Rhodes replied that the overthrow
of the Government was not his object,
but merely to bring about a change. He
admitted the probability of his having
done wrong in placing DR.. Jameson with
his men on the frontier, but Jameson

the Boer territory without his Rhodeso
authority,
Witness was asked whether he had in
formed the British High Commissioner in
(now Lord Rosmead) of his designs and
replied that he had not.
Sir William Harcourt asked why he had
not informed the British High Commls-
sioner and Mr.. Rhodes answered, You
had better get the answer to that ques-
ton from Lord Rosmead.'
Mr.. Rhodes, would not say that me
about the revolution in the Transvaal.
He admitted, however, that he had sup
piled some of the funds used in preparing
and Carrying out JameSon'S raid, but he
could not say who supplied the rest. He
denied that he had pressed the Johannes
burgers into acts of insurrection.
