RUSSIA TO FURNISH OIL
To the Western Part OF the United States.
steamshiD Line to be Established.


To the western Part OF the United States.
steamShip Line to be Established.
SAN DIEGO, GALA, May 30.-In con-
nection with the current stories outlin-
ing the plans of Russian and American
capitalists TO establish q line OF steam
ships TO be operated on the Pacific in
connection with the great Russian rail-
ways soon to be completed in Vladivo-
stock, it is now stOutly asserted here
that the principal American port for the
steamship company will be established
at San Diego. 1t has heretofore been
claimed that capitalists, largely Inter-
ested in the Santa Fe railroad are close
ly Identified with the Russians in the
scheme. Gen. Thomas S. Sedgwick,
San Diego harbor engineer, gave fur
Their information OF the scheme to-day.
He states that since Augut he has been
furnishing the interested parties with
technical particulars concerning San
Diego harbor. He had been required,
however, TO keep the matter secret.
Nor- that he is free TO talk he gave the
substance Of letter recently received
by him from a friend connected with
the land department Of the Santa Re.
His friend informed him that represen-
tatlves Of the Santa Fe Company, the
Standard Oil Company and the Russian
Oil Company, had just held a conference
in Chicago with Ivan Gavetsky, repre-
senting the Annoy Navigation Company
OF Vladisvostock for the purpose OF or
gauizing steamship line between that
Russian port and San Diego. 1t is q
we'll known fact that the Standard Oil
Company not a great while ago formed
a combination with the Russian Oil
Company, for the purpose Of controlling
the worlds supply Of petroleum. 1t is
claimed here that 1t is the plan OF the
two great companies to have the west
erp part of the United States supplied
from the Russian wells, an undertake
ing that would in reality be more eco
nomicsl than the present method OF
transporting oil across the continent
from Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
The Amoor Navigation Co. is owned
by Sibiriako, who is also the principal
owner OF the Siberian trans-continen-
tai railroad, which at present handles
the greater portion of the oil output OF
that country as we'll as others, with
Siberian ports. The determination OF
the oil combine TO establish q line to
America has evidently caused the Santa
Fe stockholders TO take advantage OF
the situation Of affairs, aud endeavor to
secure the tremendous traffic which
would naturally follow the establish
ment Of such line OF steamships.

A FABLE OF TWO BROTHERS.
From Kate Fields Washington.

fTOUt hGtt rtctu H9sfsHtytO't'
A certain man was hanged, that he
died. And he left two sons, honest men.
Now, one of the sons was a black
smith. But the other became physi-
clan,
And after that their father had been
taken from them, these brothers made
their homes in other lands.
And the blacksmith would have pros
pered. But it beiel that one asked him
how his father made end. And the
blacksmith, looking angrily at him, an
swered: HE was hung" For the
blacksmith was an honest man.
Howbeit, presently, when horse was
missing. men gathered and hanged the
blacksmith, saying: This man must
take after his father" So the black
imith did take after his father; but
whether he caught up with him this
tale telleth not.
And at the same time, In his own
city, one inquired OF the physician by
what means his father died. And the
physician covered his face and wept.
But whilst he wept he considered,
saying within himself: IF / say, 'he
was hanged then shall l shock this
man and give him pain; and IL is my
Office to relieve pain. Nevertheless, l
must tell the truth"
He said, therefore: "My father died
OF heart failure" And again he wept,
the questioner weeping with him.
Then, this being told, men said:
Doubtless, since his father died of
heart failure, this good physician and
loving son hath made study Of kindred
diseases" SO they rssorted unto him.
And the physician became q special
fist. And he looked at those who came
and coughed once and sneezed twice
and demanded 500. And they gave
gladly. For the physician was an hon
est man.

A rERUsAL OF the will Of the rich He

baHed by the asses Of the Union League

for having placed under the ban the
name of a man who has demonstrated
his great breadth OF character, benevo-

Protestants, Catholic and nOn-sectarian,

His charity went where he believed it
would do the most good TO his fellow

Though a consistent jew, Mr. SELIG-

must be of Jewish origin to be good.
And in this his example is a most

thought the regulars would turn their

of success, but the plans to get the aid

IN THE lists of appointments OF DEM
ocratic postmasters that are sent out
from Washington from time to time, ii
is observed that in nearly every case
the statement is made, in effect, that
the terms of the republican predeces'
sors had expired. Such statements, to
those familiar with the civil service
law, are inexplicable, by reason of the
fact that there is nothing i'll that law,
from the beginning until the end there
OF, that determines the length OF the
terms of such officers. SO far as that
law is concerned, their terms, like the
brooks. could run on forever. The
power to determine the length OF OIL
>ial terms lies solely and entirely with
the administration, and when repubiI-
can posmasters are retained under
democratic administrations, il must he
because they are more agreeable to such
administrations than democrats would
be.
