We Hold the Key.
Dallas News.

Dallas News.
The London Economist admits that
the key to the industrial and CONNER
cial position of the world is now held
by the United States. This being
true, it deems it in order "to consider
what are the prospects as to the re-
newal of competition from that coun-
try" The Economist continues:
1t is quite certain America is DESTROYS to
retain the foreign trade which she has al
ready captured from this cyuntr,. but hav-
ing no competition within her own border
she is bound first to supply the home de-
mands. These, is we'll known, have ex-
Increase in their own production. and il
may be many months before this is ac-
the first qnarter of the year there has bee n
no progress made TOWARDS an enlarge ed pro-
duction, but 1t is expected that now the
cold weather Is over, some progress will be
made in this direction.
Referring especially 70 iron, it is set
forth that as the production OF last
year was nearly 100000 tons, and
more than 2, 900, 900 in excess of 1897,
it is not unreasonable to suppose that
900 to Ia, 900, 900 tons of pig iron for her
own requirements during 1899, and
that it will not be until her production
is in excess of these huge figures that
she will be q competitor. Now"
adds the Economist, assuming the
foregoing argument to be correct, let
us look at the effect of this state of
things on this country. Last year the
production of pig iron In Great Britain
was 1851. Isl tons. and rs stocks were
reduced at least 100. 900 tons and 159 =
523 tons Of pig iron were imported,
the total consumption would be
at least S.s9O,674 tons. Last year
our exports were affected by
American competition, and we
know that about 500, 900 tons of pig iron
and rails were sent to countries which
had formerly been our customers. If,
as is likely, we shall recover good
portion, if not the whole, of this trade,
it seems probable we shall require to
all our requirements. This Is saying
nothing of the general expansion of
trade which we may anticipate from
the action which is being taken in
Africa and China for the opening up OF
these countries, orders for railway ex-
tension. AS these demands manifest
themselves we will, no doubt, make eff
forts to enlarge our production, al
though this is surrounded with
difficulties as to the supply of ore aud
coke, which may cause some delay.
What is feared by many is that during
the period when the expansion we have
referred to is taking place, and before
this can be met by increased produc-
ton the stocks on both sides of the
Atlantic may be in danger of being
heavily reduced" Verify, our lots are
cast in great country. 1t is not at all
easy to see just what the balance of
the world would do without our iron,
cotton, grain and meats. Every Texan
should feel especially proud over the
fact that within the bounds of his own
own state all of these products aud
many others of almost equal CONNER
cial Importance are found or produced
in abundance. Texas is something of
q keyholder herself.

Propelled BY tn. Waves.

1t is an axiom in mechanics that you
cannot get more out of machine than
you put into it, and that some of the
energy put in must be lost in fric-
ton. But the little craft known as the
autonaut, described in Pearson's, is an
exception to this rule, because she has
no engines, does not go by steam, elec-
tricfty or man power.
Curiously enough, too, the rougher
the sea the faster she moves, which is
Of itself quite a contradiction of all
the accepted conditions of navigation
The fact is that the boat Is propelled
by the action of the waves; In per-
fectly still water she would not move
at all. unless she was caused to pitch
artifcially. The secret of her propul-
sion lies In a couple of pieces Of ap-
paratus, not unlike gridirons, fixed, one
at the bow and one at the stern, about
on level with the keel. These are
what the inventor, Mr.. II. Linden Of
the geological station at Naples, calls
"feathering fms" They are bits Of
hardened steel, with their free ends

General Otis Reports That Conditions
There Seem Better.
NATIVES ARE FLOCKING IN.
In the Absence OF Definite News
a-~-s' ---~ -
From IlOilO the Hope Is ReiIxv~a -
ated That All Will BE Set
tied Peacefully.

Washington. Jan. 13. - The war de-
partnent has made public this dis
patch from General Otis, at Manila
conditions apparently improving.
Citizens feel more secure. Many ma
tives returning. City quiet and busi-
ness active
The war department officers express
the opinion which they have entertain
ed for the last two or three dayS-that
affairs at Iloilo will gradually right
themselves without any sacrifice of life
1t is understood that nothing has been
learned by General Otis in regard to
the situation at Iloilo since the steam
boat from that place arrived at Manila
on Sunday last. If any serious devel-
opment had appeared at the Panay
capital, General Otis would in all prob
ability have been informed of 1t.
1t is this absence of positive informa-
tion that leads the administration off,
GERS to believe that the state of affairs
in the island of Panay is improving.
The administration is not pleased
with the actions of the Filipino junta
in Washington, and this feeling has not
improved since it became evident that
Aguinaldo was assuming an attitude OF
active hostility toward this country.
Such an attitude on the part of the in
surgent lea der places the junta here IN
a position very similar to that Of the
former Spanish diplomats in Washing
ton, who fingered in Montreal after the
breaking out Of the war.
Censorship ut Manila.
General Otis has informed the war
~ that in nhaHianCp to the
secretary's orders a censorship on tele-
grams to and from Manila has been es-
tablished by the military government
in the Philippines 1t is also acknoWl-
edged at the war department that a
practical censorship has been estab-
lished in this country over dispatches
intended for the Philippines and has
been in existence for several days
This is one of the reasons things are
quieter at Manila now than they were
several days ago. Aguinaldo is not be-
ing supplied with information from his
representatives here in regard to the
treaty, nor is the Philippine junta get
ting much information from the other
side of the Pacific.
The government has been cognizant
for some time past of the reports being
sent by the Philippine representatives
in Washington to Manila and Hong
kong and determined upon the censor
ship.
The president has decided that it Is
not compatible with the public inter-
ests to send to the senate the confiden-
tial instructions and correspondence to
the American peace commissioners. In
view Of the situation at Manila and
also of the fact that the treaty has to
be submitted to the Spanish cortes as
we'll as the United States senate the
publication of the confidential dis.
patches and instructions might prove
injurious.

Burglary.
THE CT 1AR STORE OF
ANTON HECKER EN-
TERED LAST NIGHT
Money and Goods Stolen

The first burglary case that has come
hefore the local police force for a lon
lime was brought to light this mornin
when Anton IIecker. the cigar dealer
opened his store to find that one of til.
windows had been taken out and thai
someone had been entering withou
leave.
III" went at once to the cash drawer
and discovered that he was minus SOM
over eight dollars in change.
He examined the show cases am
found that large number of gold
mounted pipes had disappeared, all iu Il
very mysterious manner.
How the robbery was perpetrated j.
an easy matter of solution, but as Il
who the guilty party is, that will be {"
difficult question to answer, as the Onl,
clue is the imprint of mans boots on
the snow outside.
Mr.. Ilecker left the store at / o'clock
last night and returned soon after siA
this morning, so that it was probably
'lone during the early hours of this
morning.
The man evidently went in through
the alley between IIecker's and the store
of G.. j. Reynolds & Son. He then
pried open the back window near The
river bank. The window was fastened
by nail, but he succeeded in pushing il
up far enough to insert his had and pry
off the window Stats. Then he took
out the window and came in. He knew
how to "work the Metropolitan cash
register so he helped himself, and then
his intelligence, teaching him that if he
should take any of the more costly or
unique pipes they might be recognized,
lie took large number of the ordinary
gold mounted brar pipes.
lie made good his escape and is
doubtless in little danger of detection,
as the only clue thus far discovered is
he foot print iu the snow.
