MR.. robson STRIKING OIL.
Thirty-6ve Thousand Dollars Lost to the Gov.
ernment Through a Dinner to the secretary
of the Navy.

Thirty five Thousand Dollars Lost to the Gov
ernnent Through a Dinner to the secretary
of the Navy.
Mr.. Secretary Robson is Jolly man. He
loves social glass and social talk with his
friends. He loves to do them services, and since
he has been in the Department he has steadily
advanced the interests of his boon companions.
All men have their little failings. Robeson's
failing is good dinner, plenty of claret TO fol-
low, and a sutficiency OF walnuts, and rather
broad stories. Shortly after his elevation to the
Secretaryship he came up to New York, and
some friends who knew the man invited him to
one of Delmonicos dinners. Robson accepted,
ate and drank TO his hearts content, told stories
and cracked jokes, and was duly applauded and
flattered by the company.
At the same table sat some gentlemen who
were in the oil and tallow business. They talked
to the beaming Cabinet officer, and persuaded
him that buying oil for the Naval Department
here in America was O blunder; that If the
United States wanted Oil 1t could be got from
their agents in OportO at n considerable saving;
and that the storeship bringing it home would
save the freightage. Robson saw the point,
and the thing was agreed to- SO when the
United States stereship Guard sailed from New
York with stores for the Mediterranean, on the
10th of December, to supply the squadron, which
was not in any particular need she landed
three-fourths of her cargo at Oporto and took
on board $1,000 gallons OF olive oil.
The price paid was 10S cents in gold per gal
lon, In tanks. 1t had therefore to be put in
casks, weighed, and taken IN lighters TO the
Guard, which, with commissions due officials,
would cost some $4,320 in gold. Now if to
this we add the expenses incurred by i'm
porters, and necessarily by the Government we
shall find that the difference in exchange alone
amounted to $55S0'54 en- the sum total of the
above, namely, $1,000; that the interest on the
gold for, say 90, would amount to $93009; and
that the marine insurance would amount to the
same sum. If to this we add the duty which
should have been paid, but which the revenue
lost, we find total in gold OF 1884, 900.
To this has been added the amount of oil lost
by leakage, which ranges according to the best
authorities from to Is per cent Taking an
average Of 10 per cent. of leakage, we find that
of the SO, 600 gallons of oil taken on board at
Oporto, only 80, 400 were landed in New York
This would make the cost 206 $40 cents per
gallon. Now, the Manhattan Oil Company and
Tarrance & Co. had previously offered to sup
ply the Naval Department with Malaga olive
oil, considered the best in the market, and fetch
ing the highest price, for sl'S5 per gallon in
BrOoElyn.-N y Sun today.

engine room at the time the boiler exploded,
and death was almost instantaneous. The body
of one of the unfortunate men was hurled some
distance through the air into the woods, and was
precipitated with such force against tree that

bark of the tree. Another had his head COM

recognize them. In order TO show the force of
the explosion 1t may be stated that piece of
the boiler weighing four hundred pounds was
carried a distance of over five hundred yards
from the sawmill. In Its passage through the
trees it Topped off the limbs as II half q dozen
wood-choppers had been at work. The cause
of the horrible catastrophe is unknown. Messrs.
Scott and Rose were married men, and leave

"This document produced renewed excitement
II originally supposed that only millions of
gold would be sold during March, but the month
having the full thirty.one days. and the last day
falling on Thursday, it happens that another gold
day is included, and hence the schedule provides for
the sale Of third million OF gold. The mind OF
Wall street is sensitive ut this period that the Cir
cumstance Sufficient to produce small panic, in
which the bulls who had bought against the con-
tingecy Of reduced sales Of gold unOaded at Oncea
step TO which they were, moreover prompted by
the further advance OF uve-twenties In London,
which came coy, while Congress summarily dis
posed OF resolution proposing redistribution of
the currency. II seems evident from all the facts
which have so far transpired that Mr.. Boutwell, in
furtherng his plans Of funding the national debt Is
determined to bring the prices OF the five-twenties
and gold together. Hence, despite his need of cur
rency, he keeps his gold sales steady and increases
his bond purchases-exactly contrary to what
would he inferred from the condition OF the
national Treasury. However, as Mr.. Boutwell, has
right to make the best bargain he In the interest
OF the overnment, his policy may be perfectly
rect in thus keeping his real plans out OF sight.
Should he on Thursday next accept all the bids for
gold that may be submitted, 1t Is evident that In q
the highest price for his treasure The possibility
OF this fact, strengthened by the reduced condition
OF his currency balance, led to pressure to sell
god and the price fell to 49,"

in this section are very quiet to-day, with but
slight indications of strike. At o meeting of
