Gent services rendered by him to the Repub-
lican party, adding in reply to further inquiry
he did not think Anderson would retain it,
This was the first week in June that the inter-
view took place, Boynton having been riding
with the President through invitation and
general discussion of appointments having ia
ken place. During the time he was of the
opinion that the charges az ainst Anderson were
published in Baltimore or New York.

Boynton replied In the negative Ia answer
to further questions by Butler witness gave the
substance of his interview with the President
Q-Was that the reason for Anderson's ap-

In the attempt of Butler to draw from wit
ness certain replies to questions, Boynton said
it would be impossible to extract from him any
reflection whatever upon the President in re-
k< htn e.
could not be placed in his mouth, and If it was
not the pleasure of the committee to receive
his statement as he pleased to make it, which
was plain facts as they occurred, they might
wait until December next, when probably they
might get the details of the affair
Gen. Butler called the attention of the wit
ness to the fact that the dates showed that An

THE OIL PRODUCERS.
Coming Meeting Of the Council
That Proposed Compromise.

There will be a meeting Oi the Pro-
ducrrs' Council at Titusyille tomorrow
Tor the transaction oi important busl-
hess. Ii IL expected that the members
Oi the Council who attended the oil
producers conference in New York city,
recently, will be- present tO propose and
advocate some measures Of compromise
with the Standard Oil Company which
were then discussed, and which, it is
understood, the Standard Company
would agree 10. The most prominent
and active members oi the Council are
outspOkcn against compromise ol any
kind. As the measures Ut compromise
discussed by the New York conference
have not vet been given to the public,
no definite opinion can be formed ~ 10
how much OF following they will have.
They will be the subject of some dis
cussion at all events, and may he effec.
tive in dividing the council, tits argued
that the recent advance in the oil mar
-ket has been effected by the Standard
for the purpose of gaining favor with
the producers. Whether this is true or
not, there il no doubt that they are
favorable to q compromise looking tO a
withdrawal Of the suits now pending
and general policy Of non-interierencc.
In all such negotiations they enjoy the
great advantage of united or
rather centralized management.
How lar the producers will
work together remains, Of course, to be
seen, but il IL true that heretofore their
associations and councils have never
accomplished much because they have
failed So signally in this respect We
venture the opinion that they will not
in the end, gain anything by com
promise which will help the Standard to
carry out it's present plans oi monopoly
in the matter Of buying, shipping and
refining. This, they will eifectually do,
however, il they allowed themselves to
be- ensnared by unfair and delnsive
promises or even suffer themselves to
be divided thereby.-Pat' Post.
