Washington and New Mexico should
be passed at this session providing for
the constitutional convention in
each Territory and submission
of those constitutions for ratifica-
tion or rejection at an election
in November, 1888, substantially as
provided for in the bill reported by
the Committee on Territories. The
caucus also adopted resolution re-
questing the Committee on Rules to
fix the time for considering the bills
forfeiting unearned railroad land
grants, etc. Just before adjournment a
suggestion was made that caucus
be held Monday night for the purpose
of taking steps to break the existing
deadlock in the House. 1t became
apparent, however, that dangerous
subject had been broached, and to
prevent possibility Of split in the
caucus the matter was dropped. A

Investigation Of the Oil
Trust.
DEADLOCK IN THE HOUSE.
Democratic Caucus Regarding the
Admission of Territories Into
the Union.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD. |


WASHINGTON, April 7.-The House
Committee on Manufactures resumed
investigation Of the Oil Trust to-day.
David Kirk, of Bradford, Pa, men,
Der of the Producers Association, said
that the Association was organized as a
protection against the Standard Oil
Trust. 1t had two thousand members.
After it's formation it was found
that q great deal OF capital would be
required to build the new systems
pipe line, etc., and so negotiations
were opened with the Standard, and
an agreement reached by the Stand
ard to give the Association the profits
on 5,O00,O 900 barrels of oil, ii the Asso-
citation would agree to cut
down the production 1900 bar
rels per day, and refrain from
opening new wells. The first
act Of the Association after this was to
set aside the profits Of 100000 bar
rels for the labor affected by the shut
down. Then they went back to the
Standard and squeezed another
million barrels from it for the same
purpose. There had been daily
average reduction Of $4,000 barrels
since the contract had been in force.
The Standard the witness said, laid
every possible obstacle in the
way OF competition. Represent
ative Smith asked the witness
if, when the Association was formed,
they thought they could by the legis-
tative enactments of Pennsylvania
compel the Standard Oil Company to
carry oil to every body. The witness
said: Yes; we were ''suckers, !"
though. Think 80? l certainly
thought they should regulate mons
ter they had created. The witness
thought the pipe lines should be own
ed by the State.
