IT is just three weeks now until cleo
ton day. The campaign is nearly over.
1t is to be hoped all the meanest things
have been said Most men have already
made up their minds how they are going
to vote. Few votes can be changed now.
The election will probably be pretty
close. Very many votes are in doubt.
The fact that there il a Democratic tick
ct in the field this year contributes a
great element of this doubt It is also
impossible to estimate exactly what the
prohibition vote will be, although it will
undoubtedly be some thousands larger
than heretofore on account of an indie
pendent movement among the churches
and church societies. The large number
of emigrants from western Kansas will
materially decrease the vote there, but

Union Of the Standard Monopoly
and the Russian Oil Trust.
New YORK, May 2S.-The World will
say tomorrow: The two greatest mon
opolies in Chris,endom-the Standard
oittrust of America and the Russian
Siitrust of Russia-are about to effect
Z new division of the world.
The Standard OIL company Is negoti-
Ating with the Russian government.
The immediate effect Of this treaty will
be to raise the price of necessity of
life to people of the Whole world. This
treaty exists at the present in the for M
Of a memorandum agreement, drawn
up and signed by all the members of
the syndicate of the Russian petroleum
retiners. with the consent of the minis
ter Of finance"
The twentieth clause of this "memor-
andum" begins as follows:
The committee of five persons have
to communicate with the American
Standard Oil company, to work out the
necessary conditions of arrangements
Tor dividing the market of the whole
world, for the trade with Russia and
American Kerosene"
These necessary conditions have
already been worked out" and the
eXecutue formal treaty "dlviding the
markets of the whole world" waits but
upon the fultillment by the Standard
O!l company of one condition. One
| great foreign refinery. that of Mannheim.
refuses to join the trust, ard one or two
American associations. chiefly the indie
pendent Producers of Oil company,
have not yet surrendered to the
Standard combination. Until either
the Mannheim refuse to bu. crude oil of
the Producers company or the Pro-
ducers' company refuses to sell Man
helm refineries, the monopoly will still
lack a little of being absolute, and the
Russian men will refuse to approve the
| treaty.
This treaty was the result Of meet
ing of Russian retiners held Ill st.
Petersbur. at the request of the Rus
Sirn ministers of finance some time pre-
yious to October, 1898. The pur-
pose of this meeting was primar-
| ment i'm The nature of a trust
and under the direction of lhe govern
ment between the pred uctrs and the
retiners of petroleum in the district of
Baku. Russia. practically the only
petroleum district in the world outside
of the United States. Under the
date of October, 1898, the basis OF such
an agreement was finally reached and
put into writing. The represent
alive of 62 per cent of the Rus
sian output, and the representatives
of the Standard Oil trust participated

the books, documents aud property of
the Knights Of Labor that he had in his
possession, and that Mr.. Sovereign ac-
knowledged the receipt Of the same.

to proceed against all the officers of the
knights OF Labor who claim that he re
fused to turn over the property of the
order.
