THERE are now stored in the tanks of
the United Pipe Lines in the oil region
over 25,000,OO0 barrels of oil, waiting

the Bradford field. Not less than $5,OOO,-

The House Committee on Foreign
Affairs. it is said, will resist the attempt
of the Committee on Commerce to ar
rogate to itself the right to consider such
portions of the Presidents message as
refer to the 1nteroceanic canal. Mr..
Page has assumed that it belongs to his
committee, and has referred it to sub
committee. Mr.. Williams resents this
as an interference, and has referred it to
subcommittee of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, consisting Of Williams,
Kasson, Rice, Blount, and Wilson. The
contest will probably have to be settled
ON the floor of the House, as neither
party will yield, apparently, and certain
ly not the Committee on Foreign

GUITEAU, the assassin, has ISSUED an
other manifesto to the American people
in which he arraigns the character OF
the jurors, especially charging that they
were not heightened Christian gentle
men. He denies the authority of the
court which tried him, relies upon the
Deity, but as usual, makes a demand for
money. He looks for reversal of the
verdict by the court in BANG, and bias
phemOusly concludes the precious screed
by pretending an analogy between him

1T is customary in the District Of Col
umbia to hang convicted murderers in
the Jail yard with no witnesses except
officers of the court and a few CORES
pondents. Very few people except the
criminal classes have ever made appli-
cation for admittance at such times.
In Guiteau's case, however, it is differ
ent. Although there is no prospect of
his hanging before June or July appli-
cations are already being sent to Mar
shall Henry for the privilege of seeing
the murderer hung. 1t may be that
owing to these demands some new ar
rangements may be made so that citi-
zens may have the pleasure of witness
ing Guiteau's farewell to the world. A
prominent congressman received dis
patch from wealthy citizen in his dis
trict asking him to secure admission
for himself and few friends.

expense in identifying publication for
which they only ask ten cents, whilst to
each Of their last years customers they
actually give it as Christmas present.
AS its name indicates, 1t is "Guide" to

kinds of flowers and vegetables, each de-
scription being accompanied by an illus
tration Of the particular plant or vege-

who are interested in gardening, whether
for the pleasure obtained from raising
flowers, or for the more practical occupa
ton of raising vegetables, to send tC

Among other matters that will CON

Among other matters that will come
before the Board of Supervisors, al
their next meeting, on the 4th of Jan
uary next, will be the question of or
ganizing two new townships-one
from Long Rapids township, to be
called the township of Maple Ridge
and the other to be formed from that
part Alpena township that lies west
of Long Lake road, and is to be call
ed Long Lake township. There is a
general complaint that some of the
townships are too large, and that the
supervisor and highway commissioner
are not able, on that account, to at
tend properly to their official duties.
When the townships were first organ
lied they were but sparsely settled,
and most of the land being unim-
proved. The population of the town
ships has now largely increased, and
a good deal of the land has been set
tied and improved, making of course
considerable more work for the Off
cials named. The parties interested
in the changes claim that it is bene-
fetal for all the residents of the town.
ships that the the territory should be
divided; that they are too large and
cumbersome as at present constituted,
and that more efficient work will be
done by the officials if the townships
are made smaller. These are some of
the questions that the Board of Su-
pervisors will have to examine at their
next meeting, and if the claims are
just, the new townships will be organ
lied we believe. One thing is GER
tain, the townships named, and es-
pecially that of Alpena, can not for
many years remain as they are now.
The subdivision is sure to come soon
er or later; and this winter will pro-
badly see the city divided into more
wards than it is now.
