Madrid, May 4.-The mob tonight
tried to break in the Apollo theater
and hold demonstration. The police
prevented the attempt from being sue
cessful, but the crowd broke all the
windows before they were dispersed.
Immediately on the declaration of mar
tial law, large number Of police and
civil guards occupied the principal
streets. The Puerto del Sol is held by
a squadron of the Princess hussars,
while hussars dismounted, are in the
Pontejas square, near the telegraph
office. The Princess hussars are fine
sight, their white uniforms cleaning in
bright moonlight, as they sit on
horseback immovable, in close order,
in the court of the Puerto del Sol, while
the patrol of civil guards are mechan.
ically moving through the square,
which is nearly deserted.

Tribute to Murat's Victims.

Madrid, MAY 4.-The celebrations in
honor of the Spanish officers, Ruiz,
Daolz and Volardez, the victims of
Murat's massacre, have proceeded to-
day as usual. in spite Of the bad news
from the Philippines. A fine process
sion was headed by the civic guards, IL
abreast, followed by the orphans, the
Madrid charities, veterans, municipal
functionaries and officials and others.
Several regiments of troops brought up
the rear. The streets were packed, but
there was no outward display of sorrow.
In political circles, however, i'm
portant Developments are hourly ex-
pected. Senior Romero y Robledo
(leader of the Weylerite party will in-
terpellate the government in congress,
tomorrow, on the events at Manila, and
the Carlists and republicans will par
ticipate in the debate, which is expect
ed to have important results. 1t is
asserted that the burning of the Reina
Cristina was due to American petro-
leum bombs. and that number of
thatched huts belonging to natives were
set on fire in the same way.
The procession passed OH amlu glo'
rious sunshine, but there were no patri-
otic speeches. The minds of the people
were too full of the disaster to think
of anything but avenging the surprise
at Manila bay. Senior Aguilera. the
civil governor at Madrid, did not take
part in the procession. All his energies
were required to watch closely popular
feeling, which is certain to explode and
to require propitiatory scapegoat.
After the bullfght tonight, very sem
sational news may be expected.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Trade Conditions in the Leading Cities
of the World.


Reported by Downing, Hopkins & Co., Inc,
Board of Trade Brokers, I'll to ia Chamber of
Commerce building, Portland, Oregon1
Great activity in wheat last week
was caused by the remarkable advance
in all foreign markets. 1t the Hispano-
American war continues, the price OF
wheat will go higher at Chicago, but it
now seems that peace means lower
prices, for the following reasons: Eu-
rope has been advancing very largely,
fearing a blockade of our ports and a
famine at home unless their require
ments could be largely met by Ameri-
can shipments, and large purchases
have been made for foreign account at
the advanced prices on account of the
fear of war with Spain. The enor-
NOUS export demand has not advanced
our home markets largely, but has COM
PEELED every line of shorts to cover,
leaving the market in just the shape
for a serious break. The Minneapolis
market Record says: AFTER long
spell Of dullness in the flour market
business picked up in very good shape
the past week. Sales, with two excep-
tions, were larger than for any one
week since the beginning of the crop
year, one local company alone selling
nearly 100000 barrels. The demand
from abroad, for both patents and
clears, was in excess of production and
all was for quick shipment. Indica-
tons are that stocks on the other side
of the Atlantic are pretty we'll cleaned
up and buyers over there are, in conse-
quence. in a hurry to replenish them.
Sales of patents for domestic account
have been heavy to buyers east of Chi
cago. Stocks are rather low all over
the country" Not for years has the
Northwest been as short of wheat as
now. Country stocks have reached a
very low point, there being probably
less than 1900, 600 bushels held a. this
time by country houses, only very
small portion of which is contract wheat.
This explains why the Minneapolis
wheat market has advanced over 20
cents in one week. The wheat to fill
contracts is not in sight. Out of the
small country supply must 60 the wheat
for country milling, with no new wheat
to come for grinding until September.

thread up in the center of circle, make
one chain stitch to set the thread, then
work all round the circle from center to
outside, just like the spokes of a wheel,
the chain being the hub. An even effect
is gained by dividing each circle into
halves, quarters, eighths, sixteenths and
If the circle seems scarcely full enough
into thirty seconds.
For a pillow cover with divided back
are stripes of plain swiss with lace in
sertion. The side stripes aye cut 8
inches wide and 2 inches LONG, which
allows half an inch for turnings all
round, thus giving four inches to con-
tain the rows of circles. The center
strip is cut 10 inches wide, which al
lows half inch turnings, four inches
for each three rows of rounds, with one
inch in the center between the rows. A
row of the circles round the quarter is
ON the outside of the side strips, then
the nickel row and next the dime;
then comes the insertion, which is one
and half inches wide. For the center
the small size is to the edge, then the
nickel size, then the quarter. Then an
inch space is left between circles and
the other half made to correspond. A
row of fancy stitching is carried down
the center in the inch left between the
rows of circles, also along each side of
the insertion.
Trim your cover till it is square; then
cut two pieces Of the material, each
piece being as long as the side of the
square cover and half an inch wider
than half the width of the square. Face
down one side of each piece, so taking
up the extra half inch, and then you
have two pieces, which, when laid
evenly together, are exactly the size of
the square front.
For the luffie lace or strip of the
material, the hem being held in place
by row of circles, can be used. This
ruffie should be let in between the back

sPLINTERs FROM SPAIN.

The average number of horses killed in
Spanish bulltights every year exceeds
5,000 while from 1000 to 1,200 bulls are
sacrificed.
All well trained Spanish women are
taught to handle the sword from their
earliest years, and as a result they are
noted for their admirable figures and easy
walk.
Mazzantini, the famous Spanish bull
fighter, was railway porter in his early
days. He now occupies foremost posi-
ton in his profession and makes at least
e10, 900 year.
When the sardines, anchoyies and salm-
on are scarce on the Spanish coast, the
fishermen augment their income by div
ing for coral, profitable diversion from
their ordinary employment.
Spain is rich in minerals, and the work
ing of the mines is carried on under state
supervision. Their resources are by no
means fully developed, about 60, 900 peo-
pie only being employed underground.
The celebrated bullfghter Reverte, Oh
one occasion after triumphaI corrila in
San Sebastien, lit a cigarette with a
French bank note for 1000 francs; to
show his oontempt for money in general
and French money in particular.
In 1876 there was nearly war between
Spain and the United States in conneo-
ton with American interference in Cuba,
and ON that occasion Don Carlos proposed
a truce between his troops and the Royal
lists and offered to fight against the Unit
ed States. Thus does history repeat itself.
The sohoolteaohers of Spain live in a
delightful state of uncertainty respecting
their pay. Their salaries are generally In
arrears and a case was Investigated recent
ly when man declared he had not re-
ceived a farthing for II years. He lived
solely on the profits acoruing from the
sale of schoolbooks to the children.

his noblest moments, as he said, 'One

his head back. as he always did when
his attention was arrested, and waited.
DR.. Holmes repeated the first verse:
eThou hidden love of God, whose height,
Whose depth, rnfathomed, no man knows
