NEW-1ORk, May "a.
There is only one story to tell of the petro-
leum situation has become monOtonOus to write
and almost wearlsome to hear The foreign trade
tnues good with increasing demand at home and no
visible increase in the productive fields The brief halt
OF the shipments in April by which the runs from tho
wells enabled almost to Overtake them In amount
has been followed this month by an important gain In
the deliveries that the excess over the runs exceeds
10000 barrels for the first three weeks From the oil
region OF much Importance has been received In
some time; the wells that here and there are being
opened simply go to diminish the draft upon the stocks
made by the oil shipped by the pipe lines No rest Is be-
ing the ri wherever there appears the fntest
suspicion OF the existence Of Oibearng strata, but rs
yet no field Of any value has been found since Thorn
Creek Tho daily production Of the latter district has
varied considerably OF late IL fell To about 5000 barrels
once and yesterday ran up TO 7.i0O barrels. IL IS
morally certain however that the pamest days OF this
field are Ignoring the consideration OF specu-
might be considered OF permanent benefit TO tho
trade il the opening of district should put some
check upon the increasing exhaustion VI stocks. Tho

AMERICAN sYMPATHIES.

To The EdftOr Of The TrtbUHe.
SIR, No person of intelligence will question the right
Of individuals to extend their sympathes to those
causes which best commend themselves to their hearts
and judgments But those who would escape criticism
should so express those sympathies not to offend
that of public justice which all good citizens
cherish and not misrepresent the facts OF history
and the sentiments of their fellow -countrymen relative
thereto
From what history does General Porter learn that
England is " grand old patriot Nation that never
turned her back upon a friend in peace or a foe In
war; Has lie heard Of that struggle against
English tyranny by his forefathers, known as the
War Of the Revolution {" : Has he not yet heard Of
that known to his contemporary cOuntrymen as
the War of 1912 Has he himself forgotten England
cOwardly and treacherOus conduct toward our Nation
while its life being imperiled by the Rebellion Of
the Southern States Certainly he cannot he ignorant
OF these memorable facts of history and now that the
influences Of that good dinner and unstlnted cham
payne have probably ceased to operate on his intel
1ect win he be kind enough TO inform bis counymen
which of her fronts that grand old patriot Nation
was presenting her beloved offspring when she sent
her hireng Hessans and bOodthirsty Indian allies 10
massacre them during the struggles of the colonies
AGAINST her abomipable tyrannies and inflicted upon
them with merciess cruelty the horrors OF the prison
ships of New-York harborl Then will he Oblige MS by
stating which front she presented to his
when, after the shameless barbarties and
atrocities Of both her against this Nation, she
made cowardly surrender and Illuminating abandon
pent of each in its turni
II all the blood of our own kindred which Engands
against us and her aid to the rebellion have
caused be shed could be collected in great sea-
how appalling to the human mind would be its conem-
plation What American citizen would dare to stand
upon its shores and utter fulsome adulation Of the
author of the dreadful carnage2
IL will be well for General Porter and other social
heroes to remember that their extrayagances OF ex-
preston go but short way toward removing from the
minds of intelligent citizens the memories of those two
undeniabe facts of history viz that Russia has always
been the chvalrous and steadfast friend and ally Of
our Republic and that England has always been a
brutal rapacious and treacherous enemy not only to
our Nation but to the people of every land on earth
where greed could ill her Golfers malice wreak her
vengeance. SUBSCRIBER

$2O6l.271 by an accumulation of $S90,811 in
the metal plus decrease OF $l,170,460 in

At last the victims eyes closed, his

his neck sliced, and exclaimed:

behavior to my poor child | realize
that you all feel for my family the at.

of full reciprocity. Consistent with a
sense Of duty to my profession and
officers, [ could not leave nay post

But Willie was, or thought he was,

as he beheld the battalion under arms
ami asked me if they were not real
soldiers. Child as he was, he had the
enthusiasm, the pure love of truth,
honor, and love of country, which
should animate all soldiers. God
only knows why he should die thus
young. He Is dead, but will not he
forgotten till those who knew him in
life have followed him to that same
mysterious end.
Please convey to the battalion my
heartfelt thanks, and assure each and
