Russian PetI OIeum in the Mediter.
Panean.

Arrivals at this port during the year
1888 consisted Of 2s2 800 cases and L.
800 barrels American, and II, 200 cases
and 10, $50 barrels Russian. Stocks at
nreseut are $4,000 cases Amer AN
and 2,4O0 barrels Russian. 1t
is only towards the end of February
that Russian petroleum first appeared in
this market, and caused imports of
American petroleum to fall eff rs per
cent; however, American was always in
demand. Russian in barrels, being of
inferior quslity, never found favor with
buyers, whilst this description in cases
always met with purchasers. Prices
we're stationary, both with regard to
Russian as well as American petroleum.
The year closed with a steady demand
and firm prices Russian petroleum
soon met with a fayOrable reception in
the Mediterranean ports, and considera-
bic quantities of Russian petroleum and
naphtha were and are being forwarded
to Trieste, Belgium, Marsellcs, Alex
audria and Ionian Islands. Cases are
now being prepared in Russia, and as
soon as they are made extensive the
consumption of Russian petroleum Will
increase considerably. Crude napLtha
from Russia is also being bought in the
European markets, where it is refined,
and this substance, purchased at one
copeCk per pound, is in very fair de-
mand. ~

President Harris Coming.

President Harris ofthe Northern Paci-
lic arrived in 81. Paul in his private car
on the 5th. He was accompanied by
Mr.. H. f. Woodward, private secretary,
also Mr.. +. X. Woodward, general agent
Of the road at Chicago. Mrs. Harris and
one or two other ladies made up the
party, all of whom will remain till Tues
day, probably, spending Tuesday at Lake
Minnetonka. Immediately on arrival
President Harris visited Vice-President
Cakes at his Office, and remained with
him long time in conference, and we'll
guarded from reporters for the time
being.
Mr.. Harris will go through to Portland
Oregon, direct, but on his return east
ward will proceed leisurely, stopping of
at various points on the road to make
thorough inspection Of the road and
everything pertaining to its interests
The trip is for inspection and hence
furnishes no material for speculation.

A Bit Of History.

"Gen. Lester $. Wilson, of Bohemian city
the Montana member of the Republican
National Committee, was in town Thurs
day. looking as smiling as if Grant was
not destined to Ike defeated. The consci-
BUSINESS that his old neighbor Gov Sey-
mour is to he the next President, may
have produced the satisfied air with
which he greeted us, or he may have
been secretly congratulating himself that
he will not be defeated as the Republican
candidate for member of the House of
Representatives, for Gallatln County, by
more than two hundred votes, whichever
one of these reasons moved him, We are.
bound to say, he looked jolly, and we
trust he will often visit Virginia.
The above scrap Of paper printed some
sixteen years ago recalls little history
Gov. Seymour was not elected President,
and Gen. Wilson was elected member
of the House of Representatives, and if
we mistake not, was the only Republican
member of that body.

novel Scene In . Cow Camp.

Brother Moore, Of the Presbyterian
Evangelical society. doing missionary
work in Montana, tackled the heatl,en
of the Shonkin roundup in camp at
Spring coulee on Tuesday last. The Buys
were as much taken aback at being as
sailed with tracts and hymn books upon
their own stamping ground as wayfarers
are on being stopped by road agents.
However, they treated the brother
courteously and responded to his call to
hold prayer meeting, where all joined
in singing the songs Of Zion. Brothers
Green, Kingsbury, Samples and Tingley
were especially noticeable for their fine
vocal efforts. Captain Martin ably sec-
oned Brother Moore and was presented
with fine copy of the New Testement,
from which he reads a chapter daily to
the boys. The effects Of tract reading
are apparent in the more frequent Use Of
scriptural quotations in the usual avoca-
tions of the roundup River Press.

From dispatches received from Maj.
Allen, Piegan Indian Agent, Of Northern
Montana, the Piegans are dying very fast
from starvation. Three thousand Indi-
ans are on the reservation, and the sup
plies will be entirely exhausted in few
days, and they will either starve or sub
sist on the cattle of the settlers, and
trouble is feared. From Eastern Mon
tana comes the same complaint, and the
citizens of Miles City have telegraphed
Secretary Teller urging the immediate
removal of the North Cheyenne Indians,
now in the Tongue and Rosebud valleys.
There are more than nine hundred with
out rations, starving, with nothing to
subsist on except range cattle, which
they are killing of in large numbers.
The situation is serious and menaces the
prosperity of great industry if not
promptly attended to. We hope some
speedy measures will he resorted to, to
relieve their present distress and avert
impending trouble.

John Kelley.

John Kelly, who is billed to play here
Friday, July 18th, draws the following
notice from Capt. Mills, of the New
Northwest THE fame of John Kelley
is co-extensiye with the West. He
plays the violin with a magic touch, no
other can equal, and those who
have once heard him always desire to
hear him again. 1t Is not necessar! to
commend him to the ''old-timels," for to
them he is part Of the history Of the
country, and they will go to hear him if
he should return hundred years from
now. As he is now - years old 1t is not
probable this will be questioned. To
those who do not know his genius, we
will say it surpasses to us all the art Of
all the artists. The melodies he can get
out Of four strings reach nearer heaven,
than the hundred voiced harmonies OF
Thomas, ana find responsive sympathy
in every hearer. Mrs. Kelley. an &c
compllshed pianist, will accompany her
husband with organ or piano Give the
old pioneer musician crowded house.
It will he as the LADY of the Last Min
istrel' to hear his magic notes again.
