Interesting Statement Regarding the
Coal and Oil Fields.

Coal and Oil Fields.
WASHINGTON. July 2Sth-The report of
the discovery of rich coal oil deposits in the
Rocky Mountains near the northern Dor
der of the United States has revived the
interesting question of the probable guam
tity of the fuel deposits in this country.
Professor MCGEE, of the United States
Geological Survey, says the known depos-
its of coal, coal oil and natural gas, the
fuel of the day, are not SO great as many
people suppose.
There are many localities of the United
States which are strangers to the
Geological Survey. What wealth may
be developed in them is very
lar gely unknown, but the calculation of the
amount of anthracite coal of the country,
and the probable consumption, results in a
very well demonstrated conclusion that
such deposits will be exhausted within
century, while the bituminous coal will
not last longer than three or four centuries,
If there are no more new fields.
He was then asked il the report of the
discovery of oil in the Rockies was plausi-
BILE.
ut is not at all unlikely that oil has al
ready been found in that region at or very
near the altitude of 4 500 feet. which is the
hgule given in describing the location of
the new md.
What will be done when these deposits
are exhausted" was next asked.
My opinion is that that emergency will
be met By extracting the bituminous mat
ter contained in the rocks, and which is
found all over the couutry-and it would
astonish those who have not given the SUBJ
ject thought to learn the incredible amount
Of this matter there Island the earth would
WELD MANY hundred thousand barrels ner
square mile, and it is not extravaganza to
say this would sum up to million barrels
per square mile for the United States. At
present only very small portion of it can
be extracted chemically, and l must confess
don't see how it can be extracted on a
commercial basis, but it could in some way
be done when the demand would warrant
it, and this, with gas and petroleum., will
be the great fuel of the future, and proba-
bly, eventually the former alone will be the
article of consumption"

proper to float the State flag. "Now,"
asks the Constitution, "what was the mat
ter with the State flag on such purely
local occasion p Nothing, Mr.. Grady;
nothing at all. But pause moment:
what was the matter with Old Glory on
the Fourth of July in the State of Geor-
gia? Were you afraid that in the presence
of its broad stripes and bright stars the
State flag of Georgia would be eclipsed?
Oh, yes; it was all right to display Geor-
gia's flag; but why not the flag of the
nation also, on the Nations natal day,
which, by the way, is not purely local
concern"

MASONIC NEWS.
The Cerneau Organization is Placed
Under Boycott for Good Reasons.

A"C SeihSdu organization Is Placed
Under a Boycott for Good Reasons.
WASHINGTON, July 2Sth.-The contro-
versy which has been general among the
Masonic fraternity throughout the country
respecting the Cerneau Scottish rite has
eliminated here in the issue of an edict by
Harrison Dingman, Most Worshipful Grand
Master of the Masons, District of Columbia,
under date of July 18th, pronouncing the
Cerneau organization claDdestine, and
warning all members of that rite that they
are liable to discipline from the Grand
Lodge, unless they at once withdraw from
said Cerneau body. The main reason for
this edict aside from other questions aris-
ing in the Scottish rite controversy. is stated
10 be that the Cerneau organization has
established relations of amity and Masonic
correspondence with the Grand Orient of
France and Germany, body of Masons in
that country which is under the ban of at
least every English speaking Grand Lodge
in the world, because the Grand Oriens has
stricken the name of God from its rituals.
The Grand Lodges of this country, it is
said, have an additional grievance against
the Grand ORIENT of France, because the
latter persists in recognizing the negro
Grand Lodges of the United States.

COLONEL Dickinson wrote a very
friendly letter to the Musicians Union
during The difficulty between the Union
and the Fourth of July Committee of San
Francisco, of which he was at the same
time a member We believe he voted ON
that committee with the strikers also
that is, in favor of yielding to their de-
msnds. Now, as commanding officer in
the National Guard, he gives expression to
views highly commendable concerning the
mutinous bands. But these expressions
are not in harmony with his prior advice
30 the strikers to stick together" If by
his letter to the Union he meant simply
that he was in favor of good wages for
good work, he said no more than was right
So are all men, who look at The matter
from a right standpoint, in favor
of good wages, thoroughly good wages
Bot that does not mean approval Of the
methods ressried to in the strike and
mutiny to secure good wages. As matter
of fact, the wage question was not involved
in the mutiny. The men were to be paid
all they had bargsined for; they made no
complaint of reduction, for there was none.
The question simply was, should the Mu-
sicians Union he permitted to boycott the
Fourth Of July celebration? Should it be
pernitted TO assert its authority as superb
or to the State of California? If Colonel
Dickinson meant by his stick together"
letter that he favored the boycott, and
gave it aid and comfort, then he did
most ungracious thing to retain command
of the brigade pending the trial of the
mutineers. However looked st, Colonel
Dickinson owes the public an explanation,
and until it is made it will be only fair to
suspend final judgment upon his action.

MAINE is prohibition State, vet it is
recorded by her own papers that on the
Fourth of July the streets of Bangor and
Portland literally swarmed with drunken
men. A few days before the police confs-
Gated all the liquor they could find, and it
was no small quantity; yet on the Fourth
and the day before the tide of inebriety
rose higher than ever before known in the
history of either city. The station-houses
became so full of "drunks" that they alb
solutely overlooked, and towards the last
the police ceased t. make arrests because
there was no place to put the prisoners. 1t
is because of such demonstrations as these
that the prohibitory laws do not prevent
the sale of liquors that the more recent
voting upon the question has been ad-
verse to it.

The provisions of the treaty with Great
Britain in 1871 concerning transit of goods
duty free from American places through
Canadian or other British territory, to be
delivered at other points within American
territory, is simply grant of privilege
that we may abandon when we choose.
For that privilege we covenanted to per-
nit certain designated goods arriving in
our ports and intended for British places
to be transported without payment of duty
to the destination indicated; also, that
goods originating in Canada and des-
tined for export may be brought duty free
into the United States for shipment abroad
from our ports; also, that goods arriving
at British ports in North America, des-
tined for the United States, may be con-
veyed through British possessions free of
duty. But these grants, concessions and
privileges are not endless. The covenants
may be terminated and the whole agree
ment set aside, and it should be whenever
1t is found that the reciprocal status estab-
lished is of greater injury than of benefit
to the States of the American Union, and
that point it would seem has been reached
already. For any supposed benefits of the
bonding privilege we cannot afford to sac
ritice the interests Of American commerce.
