Corlnto, Mic, Dec. 15.-There were
scenes of wild disorder in Managua
again last night. During meeting OF
the aldermen, one of them made a
speech denouncing Madriz and favoring
the revolution. The speech was greeted
with cheers and hooting and free
fight among the government and anti
government elements followed. Two
pistol shots We're fired. The row ex-
terded to the street. Twenty arrests
were made.
The speech of the alderman which
started the trouble was of the fiery Or
der of oratory adopted by Enrique
Corda when he addressed the demon
strators yesterday. The speaker hand
led Madriz without gloves as one who
would not be accepted by the in
surgents as a President of Nicaragua
The revolution, Estrada and his oftl-
GERS and men We're lauded by the
speaker, who boldly asserted his SYM
pathy for the insurgent cause.
His remarks were received with
cheers by many while other members
of the aldermanic chamber gave vent
to a contrary sentiment by hooting!
AS a result d iSI Il5it was oOOAA -,
and numberless blows were struck. In
the melee two shots were fired but
whatever damage was done has been
concealed When the shooting oc-
Cured the police interviewed and sue
ceeded in making 20 of the fighters
prisoners The soldiers were also
called out to preserve order in the
streets where the quarrel of the alder
men has been taken up by partisans
Throughout the night the streets were
filled with soldiers and a systematic
search for concealed weapons was
made upon everyone who ventures
from his home.
The letter which Secretary Knox adj
dressed to the Nicaraguan charge
d'affaires at Washington, Rodriguez,
which accompanied the latter's pass
ports, was published in Managua for
the first time.

with five days more for merchants to
come to Omaha and buy goods while at
tending the meetings of the Manufacturers
and Jobbers' association, the number who
have visited Omaha this spring already ex-
ceeds those who came last spring by 20
per cent.
Buying has also been heavier: The pay
ing OF railroad fares by Omaha whole
salers has made the spring and fall ex-
cursions popular and buyers come from
points further distant than In the past.
While the spring excursions will cease
April 10. plans are already being made for
the fall excursions and merchants meet
ings. They will be conducted on the same

fare of one member from each firm.
During the summer a campaign will be
started to increase the membership of the

is thought over 800 new members can be
secured. This number will add greatly to
the strength of the organization and conse-
quently Win give the merchants many more
