MULE QUESTION
Comes Up For Consideration at
Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, April 12.-The legal pro-
ceedings at New Orleans to prevent the
shipment of mules purchased in this
country to South Africa, was the most
important matter discussed by the cabt-
net meeting today and the attorney gen.
era1 was directed to make an inVestiga-
ton of the question and report his opin-
ion TO the cabinet. AS near as can be
learned members of the cabinet with le-
gal training, are of the opinion that
these proceedings are contrary to the
rights of the government The view eX-
pressed is that when neutrality proceed
ings are inaugurated in United States
courts they should be brought in the
name Of the United States an alleged
violation of neutrality being a question
affecting nations not individuals. The
mover of the proceedings in the New Or
leans case is man claiming to be q
resident of South Africa who contends
that his interests are placed in jeopardy.
1t is pointed cut that if an individual
could go into the courts and secure re-
straining orders on the ground that the
neutrality laws of the country were be-
ing violated the commerce Of the coul-
try might be seriously endangered These
views of the New Orleans proceedings
were ELECTED during a brief Suggestion

British government had decided to use
no more American meat in its army No

Orleans case. If it is found that the neu-
trality laws are such as to permit indi
viduals to bring proceedings in courts,
congress may be asked to pass sucn
amendments as win leave these questions

COlOradO's Big Snow Storm Has
Come to an End.

Denver, April 12.-The weather this
morning has cleared after a continuous
snow storm for 96 hours and under the
bright sunshine is melting rapidly. Tne
storm was the most extensive known in
April along the eastern slope Of the
Rocky Mountains in ten years. There
was but little snow on the western slope.
Rotary snow plows were kept in opera
ton during the night on all railroads
running over the divide and passenger
trains were run, although the schedules
were badly disarranged. Many freight
trains We're stalled in snow drifts ard
none was run except on special orders
Service on several mountain lines was
entirely abandoned. All the roads VIII
be opened today.
Three collisions occurred in the blind
ing snow between Denver and Pueblo,
the most serious of which was that at
Eden between the Rio Grande's Atlantic
express and the Rock Island passenger
from the east in which six persons were
slightly injured The storm was of great
benefit to farmers.

sailed for the United States by the Red
''D9 line steamer Caracas. He emphat-
his report to President Mckinley; but
let fall, he Is evidently quite 2ntago-
nistic to President Castro. He said that
the latter's salary was $4,000 a year,
but that he had laid up 100000 in the
last two years.
President Castro told the Vene-
zuelans." said Mr. Loomis, that they
and the Europeans lin Trinidad were at
liberty to seize claims in the Orinoco
district on the land previously ceded to
Americans. It was evidently his in
tention to embarrass the u. S govern
ment and force it to make armed dem
onstrations, such as would possibly lead
to trouble with foreign nations owing
to the large German and British COM
mercial interests in the coast.
