BERLIN, June SO Reference has al
ready been made in these dispatches to
the action 81 the Pru~siun minister Of
commerce., Herr Won Rerlcpsch, against
the Germ ln-Amrrican Petroleum com
paDY. Bremen is one OF the greatest
coal oil markets in the world. How the
great oil company got its grin on this
place, AMI consequently on all Germany,
is explained by the fact that the principal
German firms had to submit to the
formation Of a 6cTman-American prtro-
leum company OF loss the importing uadc.
The whole OF G5rmany is divided into
districts, assigned TO the different frns
belonging to the new COMPANY. Tanks
have been erected at different points. and
1t Is now feared In It the entire retail trade
will fall into the hands of local branches
OF the great monopoly. The Ger
man-AmerIcan company seems deter
mined to absorb every branch of the
coal oil trade. First it got con-
troll of the American well owners aad
retinors, then of the American export
business, next of the private shipping in
t%erests, then of the European importing
nuslneSs, then Of the export trade IRON
European ports, anil now it seems to be
trying to seize the entire retail trade. 1t
is a monopoly of the whole world, and a
private one at that. with ITS seat in
America. If it succeeds in buy ing out or
combining with the men who control the
production Of Russian coal oil. then the
supply of the whole world will be subject
to the power OF a few gentlemen In New
York.

TACOMA, Wash, June 29.-Social cir
cles here have been thrown into a ferment
by an expose affecting the character OF a
woman who moved in the best society.
For years there was not a church or other
social event that was complete without
her presence. She was known as the
wife OF c. A. Blackstone, and Ed Bur
ton, a merchant here, was supposed to be
her brother. Burton took up his resi-
dence with his sister with the concurrence
Of her husband. Last winter Burton
went east and returned with a bride
Soon 1t began to be whispered that there
was something wrong, and Mrs. Burton
went 10 Portland, where she remained
until the BlackstOnes left Centralia for

VANCOUVER, b c., June 2q.-Jay
Ewing, American consul here, has sent in
his resignation and recommends as his
successor Henry Harris, of Washington
State, now temporarily a resident Of Van
couver. Ewing's pronounced anti. British
views and his failure to conduct himself
in the manner generally expected of a
gentleman and diplomat, made him so
unpopular that he was boycOtted by So
ciety and business men. The feeling cul
minated yesterday in the circulation of a
petition addressed to Secretary Blaine and
asking for the credit of the United States
that Ewing be recalled. In less than two
hours this petition was signed by more
than 5000 residents, including the most
prominent men here in all walks of life.

The young are very much like the grouse

TRUANCY IN CHICAGO.

Chicago is very lively city, and the children of Chicago are so lively that they play truant extensively. The truancy ab- sentees average two thousand a month, and it is felt that something must be done about it. The matter is receiving sensible treatment. It is argued that indefinite suspension or expulsion would be equiva- lent to 8 sentence to become criminal. The rights of the child and the rights of the state equally demand that every effort be made to keep these wayward children off the streets and to induce them by gen. tie and effectual methods to accept educa- tional training and to acquire habits of obedience, order, diligence, cleanliness and study. It can never be admitted that truancy is crime; nor can any commonwealth or community justly con- sent that children guilty of it shall either be deprived of schooling or be branded as criminals. A child who has not attained the full use of reason is inca pablo of committing crime according to either moral or legal standards. Only the ignorant, the brutal or the thoughtless would hold responsible for its conduct un- der temptation any child, no matter what it's social status or intellectual develop ment.
 And so forth and 30 on. The Chica. goans seem inclined to favor the establish ment of truant schools like the ungraded sobooIc rpI;ob x,,orL co vo1I in Naru Hevan It is strange that in 80 progressive a city as Chicago they have not been established before
