There is but little to say in re-

cral easterE buyers have been hero,
among whom might bo mentioned
Messrs. Butcher, Taylor, Afetealf

are offering forty cents forwool, but
holders arc demanding fifty cents.
And holders Of wool in Brooke and
Washington counties seem deter
mined not 10 sell under that fig

bo said there is nothing whatever
doing in the wool market here

THE NATTONALCAPITAL.

Topics Discussed in Cabinet Meeting.
 WASHINGTON, July 16.-The Cabinet ses- sion to-day was comparatively uninteresting. The postmastership at Philadelphia was talked over, but nothing was decided The report in the Whitaker case being volumi- nous document was left to the care of the Secretary of War, who will at some future day submit his views on the subject Admiral Jefreys, who represented the Navy depart ment, submitted the rules of road at sea re- gently adopted by other nations than the United States, and stated that owing to the fact that the United States Congress had failed to authorize the adoption of these rules the only safe course to pursue was to publish the rules adopted by other nations alongside of the rules in use by the United States for the guidance of all concerned, and it was so ordered. The appointment of MT. Johnson as collector at Savannah was reafirmed and his commission ordered to be forwarded. There was no action taken upon the applica- ton of Webster Bruce for appointment as collector of the Fourth Maryland district. Final action in this case will not probably be had until the return of Secretary Sherman, though there seems to be no doubt but what Bruce will be appointed.

Blazing Oil Tanlks-A Soothing Ocean of

 TrrUsv11LE, Pa, July 16.-Tank No. 366 of the United pipe lines, of 25,O00. barrels ca pacity, was struck by lightning during the heavy thunder storm which passed over this section yesterday. It overfowed at II o'clock, setting fire to tank 363, also of 25,- GOO barrels capacity. The latter tank burned furiously all day, and its overflow was looked for at g or 10 o'clock last night. As there were two other 25, ,0O0-barrel tanks within 6 or rods of No. 363, terrible increase in the fire was expected, and shortly after g o'clock a special train of five cars closely crowded left Bradford for Custer over the Erie branch. Every livery stable had been besieged since early this morning and all available horsefesh was pressed into service by anxious spectators. The main street at Custer, running at right angles with the creek, as well as all the available points on the Bradford rail road were occupied by crowded wagons and carriages The excited crowd from the excursion train poured across the bridges and deployed along the hillside east of the limited pump station, where with the seeth- ing tank almost at their feet they awaited the overflow with absorbing interest. The field was covered with 8 heavy growth of clover and timothy dried by the heat, and the crowd made themselves comfortable and fingered about in social groups while the work of de- struction went on before them. The inter- est was increased by the possibility that at any moment the flames might seize the two full tanks yet untouched and sweep down the creek, destroying everything in their passage At 10 o'clock the first small overflow took place, and the mighty heat drove the crowd back and up the hill, while the fremen who had been playing on the nearest tank tempor- arily abandoned their post and gave up the fight At one o'clock small field piece ar rived from Clean and was turned on the burning tank. One shot from the howitzer had scarcely been fred when the red hot iron gave way, the boiling oil rose in a deluge of flame and spread for nearly quarter of mile in every direction, forming seething ocean of flames. The fire was fully under control at noon and no further danger is an- ticipated.

 toms revenue have returned, and prepared 8 report to be submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury The commission consisted of Col onel S. E. Chamberlain, a special agent of the Treasury Henry J. Abbott, special officer of customs at New York, and Professor Erd- lich of the Smithsonian Institute. The re- port of the commission says result of their trip that they are satisfied that artificial coloring of sugars has beyond a question been practised for the sole purpose of dis guising their true quality and value as meas ured by the Dutch standard of color, and that any and all methods of manufacturers resorted to for the purpose of evading the plain meaning and intent of the law consti- tute a fraud upon the customs revenue which should be met with most energetic and deter mined action on the part of the Government.
