A BIG OIL TRADE.
An Unprecedented Rush of Ordsrs From
India for the American Product.

An Unprecedented Rush of Ordsrs From
India for the American Product.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 3.-Just
now tho Philadelphia petroleum re.
tiners are working their plants day and
night in an effort to fill their contracts
for case oil. Most of the contracts are
for delivery in the Indies and the ia,
east. The delay is caused by the ina.
bility of the manufacturers to turn out
the cases fast enough to supply the de.
mand, the refineries not having pre-.
pared for the sudden and heavy in.
crease in their orders, which for case,
barrel and bulk Shipments
have exceeded all calculations. Not
until recently has the Standard Oil
company, which has a large portion OF
the contracts, attempted to work up
trade in British India, the Russian
shippers having heretofore supplied ali
the oil needed in that country.
1t is believed that there has been o
rupture between the big American con.
cern and the Russian shippers over the
division of territory made some time
ago, the Rothschilds, who are financial
hackers of the Russians, claiming that
the standard had the best of the deal.
They refused to live up to the agree.
ment any longer, and the Americans at
once made bids for the heavy East
India contracts. A large number OF
cargoes have recently cleared, and the
amount of chartered oil tonnage now
in port is the heaviest ever known in
the history of the oil trade. Forty-fiv
vessels are now in port, or will be in a
few days. chartered to load over
32,0O0,00o gallons of oil. OF this 49,.
900, 200 gallons will go in bulk, 3,oo0,.
900 in barrels and 13, 900, 900 in cases.

Be Plenty for the Prsc.
tical Politician.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The variou,
people who are about the capitol have
not weakened any in their belief that
the coming congress will be subjected
to one of the most powerful and per
sistent lobbies known in many years
The vastness of the interests at stake,
the fact there are mary new and inen1
perienced members and the Importance
OF the measures which will come up for
debate are the reasons assigned for the
belief
The word 'slobby' is not used in any
sinful sense. There will be plenty Of
men in the corridors endeavoring to IN.
huence members one way or the other
who don't expect a cent of reward ex-
cept such as they calculate will accrue
from the concentration of their ideas as
to the way in which the business of the
country ought to be run. Many Of
them are honest believers in this or
that system of finance and will spend
their time and money in the endeavor
to get congressman to think as
they do.
There will be Others, there always
are, VINO nave a Qlrect ana personal ln-
terest in legislation, and will do their
best to enact or prevent the enactment
of laws. In addition to these it is be-
lieved that the single measure reform
ing the tariff will call out the most
adroit "reasoners" OF the country.
Each one of the large interests threat
ened by reduction in or abolition Of
the duty affecting it will have moro
than one representative to buttonhole
and plead with and argue with and
sometimes to warn the members who
persist in thinking themselves.

city council has granted DIR. S. w. Dun
can for period of fifteen years the sole
and exclusive management of the hot
springs on American Island This
island is in the Missouri river directly
opposite the city and was given to the
town for park purposes by the govern
ment Mt the time the Sioux reservation
was opened for settlement Tho
springs have been known to exist for
many years, the water being so
warm that grass. and other vegeta-

the grant given DIR. Duncan, and with
in two years he is required to construct

A DEPARTURE IN FORTS.
Newspaper Mans Scheme to supplant thu
Tennessee Militia,

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. Am
absolutely new departure in defensive
warfare is to be inaugurated at Coal
Creek, from whence the army of
Tennessee is soon to be withdrawn.
The plan unitcs in remarkable degree
the invention of Ericsson and the Gus
toms of old days on border frontiers.
II. I. Wenning, q young newspaper
man of this city, now lieutenant and
quartermaster at Fort Anderson, Coal
Creek, where he has been on duty for
a year and half, has evolved
an idea which is to be put in
practice to avoid a release of the con-
victs by the free miners when the gar
rison is withdrawn. His conception of
q fort is, in brief, turret of steel with
portfolio for gatling gun This will
crown tower 80 feet high, situated on
hillside commanding all the APP
proaches to the convict stockade Be-
low the turret will be room 80 feet
square, Of four-inch plank, the whole
standing on four pillars. 1t will be
held by seventeen picked men, com
manded by Captain Kellar Anderson
The prison board was very favorably
impressed with Lieutenant Wennings
idea, and the turret fort will be erected
rs soon as possible.

lECOUNTY SOUTH
TOM TAyLoR's REVENGE.
The Business Manager Of the AppeaI.Aya.
lanche THUMBS a Cur,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 2.--Tom
Taylor, as he used to be known in Kan
sas City, now Mr.. Thomas y. Taylor,
business manager of the Memphis APP
peal-Avalanche, is in the city, and has
taken occasion to rub out an old score
which he held against Mark w. Hatch,
a dealer in typewriter supplies. Tay-
lor met Hatch on the street and pro-
ceeded to knock him down and other
wise give him to understand that he
did not like him or his business meth
DDS. A romantic story hinges
on this episode, and the
sympathies of those who know it are
with Tom. Some time during the
year 1880 Taylor sold some mining
stock to Mark w. Hatch, of the firm
of Hatch Bros, dealers in typewriters
and supplies. Notes aggregating $3.50
were given in payment. December 80
OF that year Mr.. Taylor was married to
young woman of Kansas City, and
few hours before the ceremony, while
Mt the Midland hotel, he was served
with writ of injunction restraining
him temporarily from selling the
notes. The writ was returnable to the
court January following, when Mr..
Taylor was supposed to appear and
show cause why the injunction should
not be made permanent. Mr.. Taylor,
however, had planned long wedding
trip and all preparations had been
made for departure Immediately
after the wedding ceremony. The
wedding couldn't well be post
poned, and a wedding journey begun
eight or ten days after the wedding
ceremony would have lost half its
romance. Taylor was required to APP
pear in court January or forfeit his
rights TO dispose of the troublesome
notes as he desired. Taylor did not
want to postpone tho wedding trip and
and he did not want to forfeit the right
to sell the notes. He had to do one
thing or the other, for Hatch had
waited till the eve of the wedding to
bring his action, so that the laws de-
lay wonld operate to the discomfort
and Inconvenience of Mr.. Taylor, to
whose wedding, by the way, Mr..
Hatch had been invited He decided
forthwith to forfeit the notes. The
wedding ceremony was performed un-
marred by the Hatch incident, and Mr..
Taylor aud his bride started on a happy
journey. On January following, the
case of Hatch VS.. Taylor was called,
and, Mr.. Taylor not appearing to show
cause for other action, the temporary
restraing order was made permanent
by the court.

Colonel Fellows would have done SO,

He sprang from the carriage and pro.
ceeded to show the countryman what q
wonderful thing science is. He had
every upper cut and evasion at com,

WORSE THAN ROCKS.
Another Wandering Ocean DereIjct Heard


WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Another OF
those wandering ocean derelicts which
are such menace to the mariner has
been heard from. The bark Ocean
originally appeared just north of the
southern track of the western bound
steamers in September. It has since
been heard from at periodical intervals
and has gradually drifted south, almost
to the sailing route from the equator.
The last report was in March. Since
then the Ocean has taken a north.
westerly course toward the Bermudas.
1t was seen in about longitude 500 and
altitude 80 on May 80.
There are now about fifty of these
dangerous huiks floating on the sur.
face of the ocean. Most of them are in
the sailing route to the equator, and
the record OF their movements show
that they cross and recross the track.
Some of them have made quite long
journeys since they were abandoned.
One of the derelicts is the schooner
Fannie E. Walston, which was aban-
doned October Is, 1891, off the Caro-.
lima coast. She drifted half way across
the ocean by the following June and
then retraced part of her course by q
series OF circles, and after q southerly
drift was last heard of in May down in
the northeast trades Near by is the
schooner May Gibbon, which has been
drifting since August %, 1899, when
she was abandoned in Newfoundland
fog.

SHE CAUGHT LOGAN MAPPING
Young Carlisle outpolnted in a sparring
Match With LADY,

WASHINGTON, Aug. a.-The politi-
clans and officials at the treasury de
parhnent are telling story on Chief
Clerk Logan Carlisle illustrating the
old maxim that it is poor rule that
won't work two ways. The authenti-
city of the incident can't be vouched
for, but as Mr.. Carlisle himself ex-
presses it, sit is good story anyhow"
Last week, when the removals were
taking place among the clerks in the
classified service, an elderly lady called
upon the chief clerk She stated her
case clearly and distinctly She had
been clerk III the classified service,
had always performed her duties in a
manner satisfactory to her chief of di-
vision, and was not, of course, an often.
sive partisan.
On close questioning by the courteous
chief clerk the lady admitted that a
near relative was also in the employ of
Uncle Sam.
Nov, madam" said Mr.. Carlisle
firmly but kindly, don't yon know
that the department issued a circular
some time ago chilling for q statement
from every clerk as to the number and
nearness of his relatives in oifice?'
The lady admitted that she had re-
celved one.
"And don't you know that it YVES in.
tended to use the information result
ing from the issuance of those circulars
to make judiclous removals of persons
who have close relatives drawing salar-
les from the government and fill their
places with needier applicants, thus
more fairly distributing the favors?"
Now, Mr.. Carlisle, let me ask YOU a
question" said the lady. You say
that the circulars We're issued for the
purpose of removing people who have
otker members of their family in
Officer"
"Yes."
And must all the people in osice
who have relatives in the service of the
government submit to removalP"
Yes, again replied the chief clerk.
We'll, then, Mr.. Carlisle said the
lady, with triumphant air, "how is it
that you and your father are both hold
ing office at the same time:n
For moment Logan was staggered
at this view of the situation. 1t took
him but few minutes, however, to
collect his thoughts.
Madam" said he, 81 acknowledge
the logic of your reasoning In very
short time the old gentleman will have
to 60"

OUR NAVAL POLICY.

Secretary Herbsrt Will Advocate the Build.
ing Of More Ships.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Regarding the
naval policy of the present adninistra-
ton, it may be stated with authority
that Secretary Herbert will advocate
tho construction of more ships. He
will be conservative in his estimates.
but he still believes we are some dis
tance from the point where we can
afford to stop the work Of shipbuilding.
He estimates that s11 100000 will be
needed to complete the forty-two
vessels built aud building for the now
navy. AS this amount will be dis.
tributed over the coming three years
he can advocate the addition of ship
or two each year during the present
administration without adding mater.
inlly to the annual appropriation for
ship construction.
Secretary Herbert is determined, il
congress proves to be in compliant
mood, that these ships shall represent
the highest efficiency possible for the
type. A wise and generous policy in
naval affairs will be marked charac.
teristic of the navy department for the
next four wears

couo ;iot Be convnced That He Could
Relieve the Kentucky Disters.
WAsHrNeToN, Aug. 3.--The visit to
Washington of Thomas II. Shirley, OF
Louisville, in behalf of the western
banks who are carrying loans upon
whisky in bond was not successful
Mr.. Shirley is u lawyer and represents
in this matter banks in Louisville, Gin.
cinnati, Chicago and Pittsburg. He
came to supplement the efforts of the
committee of distillers which pleaded
with Secretary Carlisle for an exten.
sion of the bonded period, but failed tc
convince the secretary that he could
grant their request.
Mr. Shirley based his argument foi
relief upon wholly different grounds.
He claimed that the department could
and should give the distillers and the
banks which hold their paper the right
to export the product until the tax was
paid. In the operation of the law, MIR.
Shirley explained, it happens that from
twenty-five to sixty days elapse between
the date on which the bonded period
expires and that on which the revenue
officials actually put the penalty for
failure to pay the tax in force; that is,
the clerical labor connected with tho
operation requires or covers ut least
that period.
Mr.. Shirley insisted that until the
actual payment of tax took place tho
constitutional right of export could
be exercised. What he asked the
secretary to do, therefore, was to sane
ton the expectation of whisky in bond,

HEIRS TO A GREAT FORTUNE
Citizens OF Buffalo Who Expect to lnher
Over S25.OOOOoO.

BUFFALO, N. Y. Aug. IA family
living in this city may shortly become
the possessors of more than s25, 100000
They claim to be the nearest heirs to
the estate OF Philip Reinhardt, who
died intestate in India about forty
years ago. The relationshipwill easily
be shown, rs it is all on record in Ger
many, and, although there are many
|. claimants to this immense property, the
family in this city will become one OF
the richest i'll the United States.
In 1906 Philip Reinhardt, the man
who gained immense wealth, ana his
brother, the head of the branch OF the
Reinhardt family of this city, lived in
Bavaria with their parents. Philip
was the oldest son and had rowing
disposition. On the death of his father
he enlisted as private in the British
army. He was at this time about 70
years old, and having love for the
life of soldier and the pomp and
glory of war he soon obtained promo
tion in his regiment and left England
for service In India with tho rank OF
sergeant. His brother remained at the
old homo guarding the small lnherl-
tnnce and the memory OF ms parents.
Soon after Philips departure ne mar
Fied a playmate and seemed TO be IN.
clined to live and die in the nome OF
his childhood But after time ne, TOO,
became weary of the routine Oh the
German PEASANTS life and determined
to migrate to America. Coming TO New
York he prcspered i'll business ana MS
children lnheritcd a considerable es-
i-tate when he died.
During all these ycars he had heard
nothing of his brother Meantime
Philip had gone TO India with his reg',,
snent, had distinguished himself ana
had obtained commission in the army.
With advancing years the hollow non
ors of war lost their charm and ne le1t
the army to engage in mercantile par-
suits, more lucrative and congenial.
The money he had accumulated during
his term of service was luckily invested
and he soon began to sec the gold OF

MORE CHICAGO FAILURES.
Three More Victims OF the Big Drop In
September Pork.


CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Three more fail
ures were announced on the board Of
tradeat the opening of business Wcdnes-
day as a result OF the collapsed pork and
lard deal in which John Cudahy nnd
five other houses went down. Just be-
fore trading began Secretary Stone
came on the floor and announced that
Geo. G. Parker & Co., and Thomas
Gregg had instructed him to say that
all their trades We're to be closed out.
The announcement did not create any
more excitement than the condition OF
the pork market justified. as it had
been expected after Mondays string
of failures that n few more would
necessarily follow to wind up the
furry.
A few minutes after trading had
commenced Secretary Stone came in
with the almost expected announce
ment that ID. Eggleston, Son & Co. had
failed. The September pork market
was affected at first slightly, but
rallied on tho general opinion that
there would be no more failures. OF
the firms which failed today Thomas
Gregg is the smallest, but tho other
commission house had been long estab-
lishcd George G. Parker does not
know exactly how he stands, but
thinks he is even on the market. No
definite statement can be made by
Sandy" Eggleston, as he is known.
This is the second time he has gone to
pieces financially. AS a special part.
ner of c. j. kershaw, in the Harper
wheat deal, he lost a round million dol.
lars. He was known to be carrying q
big line for the CudahyFairbank COM
