The Standard Oil Company Recently
Completed Its Coil Around
the Earth.
European Markets and Trade Have
Been Acquired by Legal
Methods.
The Discovery OF Cheaper substitute for
OIL II tho Only Hope Of
Emancipation.

BERLIN, June 29.-Reference has already
been made in these Dispatcher to tho ac-
tions Of the Prussian minister of commerce,
Herr Won Berlepsch, against the German
American Petroleum company. Bremen is
one of the greatest coal oil markets in the
world, How the great oil company got its
grip on this place. and consequently on all
Germany, is explained by the fact that the
principal German firms had to submit 10
the formation of the German American Pc
troleum company or lose their importing
trade. The whole of Germany is divided
into districts assigned to different firms
belonging to the new company.
Tanks have been erected at diff
ferent points and it is now
fea red the entire retail trade will fall into
the hands of local branches of the great
monopoly. The GermanAmerican COM
pany seems determined to absorb every
branch of the coal oil trade. First, it got
control Of American we'll owners and refin-
ers; then of the American export business;
next Of private shipping interests; then Of
the European importing business; then of
exports from European ports, and now it
seems to be trying to seize the entire retail
and private one at that, with its seat
in America. If it succeeds in buying
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 few gentlemen
in New York.
Mr.. Max Gaede. director of the German
Russian Naptha company, one of the best
posted men on the coal oil trade, talking to-
day to correspondent of the Associated
press, said: "The Standard Oil company
has, within the last few months, managed
to secure the combination of all large
houses in Bremen and Hamburg. 1t then
organized them into stock oompany-the
German-American Petroleum company,
in which it holds controlling interest.
1t has done the same in Rotterdam and
Holland and Belgium. We have just now
received information that it has bought ou,
the firm of Walter & Co.. of Venice, who
control the oil trade of Italy. You see the
Standard ia getting in it's work everywhere
We may fight for some time to come, but
feel that eventually we must also submit
Until some cheaper substitute for coal oil
is found or invented the Standard Oil COM
pany will have control of the trade the
world over. do not think there will be
any material change in prices.'
When asked If the German government
investigation of the matter would have any
tangible result, Mr.. Gaede said; "No; til.
German government can do no4hing
Every thing has been done in a strictly lega
way. There is apparently no ring; only {
regular me rcantile corporation"
