German OIL Retailers Want the Big
Monopoly Abolished.
BERLIN, June 17--The minister Of COM
merce, Baron Won Berlepsch, is engaged
in an investigation of the coal oil trusts,
which, as is claimed by the German retail
ers, aim to supplant them in their busi-
nesses. The retailers claim that the Paris
branch Of the Rothschild family, who own
the Russian monopoly, and the Standard
Oil company OF the United States have en-
tered into an agreement whereby th@s
Standard Oil company is to control tie
German market.
With this object in view the Standar&l
Oil company is reported to have obtainedl
control by purchase Of all the petroleum
steamers plying between the United States
and German ports, and to be forcing the
Dutch and German importers to form
stock companies under the control Of th@
Standard Oil company, which company, II
is said, now regulates the price Of coal Oh
In Germany, and is threatening 10 erec8
tanks in the larger cities so as to sell oil
direct to consumers.
German coal oil retailers were alarmed
at this state of affairs, and turned to Rna-
sia for supplies of oil But the Roths-
childs, in accordance with an agreement
with the Standard, refused to meet the,
demands OF the German retailers, putting
them into the power of the Standard.
Stringent measures will probably bs-
adopted to abolish this monopoly shomsd
the charges be established

amphitheater, over 200 feet in diameter
and costing over s15O, 200, the opening ex.
ercises Of the National Chautauqua at
Glen Echo were held in the presence Of an
audience Of several thousand people. They
were presided over by Rev. A. II. Gillet,
ID. d., chancellor Of Chautauqua, whose
experience as field secretary Of the original
Chautauqua fits him admirably for the
position. The feature Of the day was the
address Of Rev I. Dewitt Talmage, who
spoke for an hour. He touched upon the
dissensions which are just now occupying
the attention Of the religious world, and
predicted that the Chautauqua movement
with its idea OF bringing all denominations
together, would in the course Of time bt
the most active agent in causing an end Of
evangelical strife.
