THE OIL EXCITEMENT is UNDATED


Already the Price Has Reached ST. 6S
and stopped at ST. go.
Pittsburg, April 1.-THE oil excitement
continues undated. Standard this morn
ing put the price up Is cents to $3.50 On
exchange cash oil opened at SLIGO, and sold
up to SLIGO. May options opened at $1.50
bid. The first sale was at s1.6o. 1t then
broke to sl.5S. and rallied to $1.60 on sales.
1t was then bid UP to $l.68 without sales
AT O'Clock the opening sale was cash
order for 10000 barrels at 81. 80; the next
sale was made at $l.50%. The first sale in
May option was at Sl.60. This is the high
est oil has been since 1871 when 1t sold
as high as $685..
Speculation hitherto confined to Nation
al Transit certificates has been transferr-
ed to Mellon Pipe Line certificates, and a
sale of 10000 barrels was made here today
So far this week the advance amounts to
40 cents a barrel by the Standard, and 43
cents on exchange for May options. To
producers of Western PENNSYLVANIA and
West Virginia this means $37,5OO a day
more than they We're getting for oil last
week, or an increase of $1,1250O0 per
month. The total market value of products
Is nearly $3,500,000 a month. 1t has greatly
stimulated activity in the field, and not
only furnishes additional work for humid
reds of oil drillers, but has also increased
the demand for iron and steel supplies
consumed in business. So far consumers
have been taxed an additional cent per
gallon for Illuminating oil, but further
advance is almost certain.

CALIFORNIA FLOWERS SUIT THEM

muda Horticulturists

New York. April 11.-Another foreign
Industry seems likely to be nipped in the
bud as a result of home enterprise. Ac-
cording to dispatch from Los Angeles
syndicate of flower growers has made
an experimental shipment of two car
loads of Easter lilies TO the east. with
the intention of going into the raising
of the flower on an extensive scale IL the
experiment proves success. Hitherto
the horticulturists of Bermuda have en-
joyed practical monopoly of this bus
mess. Last year the imports of bulbs
from the isalnd reached fully SO, O00. 900,
representing fully 100000 flowers, In
addition to large importations of loose
flowers in bulk. timed to reach this city
a day or two before Easter This year
the importations have hardly been as
heavy, owing to partial failure of the
Bermuda crop, but the deficiency will
easily be made up by the California
shipments. Should the flowers from the
Golden Gate prove equal in appearance
and keeping qualities to those imported
it is only question of a year or two
in the opinion of florists before the Ber-
muda growers will find their occupation
gone.

an Old Man Years Ago.

Muskegon. Mich, April u.-George w
King. proprietor of drug store on Iowa
street, was arrested recently charged with
setting his store afire, but was released
because of insufficient evidence. Today
he was arrested charged with murder, Eu-
nice Williams charging him with killing
her father, Nathan Douglas, three years

but there was little on which to base the
charges. For many years Douglas lived
on a farm in Fruitland township, with
his daughter Eunice. to whom he decided
all his property. Four years ago an aunt
of Kings went to live with Douglas, and
about year ago they were married. I'm

his property from his daughter to his
wife. Immediately following the change
King visited Douglas for several days

RUSSIA AND THE SEAL FISHERIES
The Country of the Gar Has ReguIa-
tons of Its own.

INV touhby VI inc tLaT has Hegula-
lions of Its own.
Washington, April 1.-THE proposition
made by the state department to extend
the closed season in the north Pacific
along So degrees of longitude, as defined
by the Paris arbitration, westward to the
shores of Asia, it now appears really
originated with Russia. which country
was first to perceive the inefficiency of the
present regulations to protect seal herds.
Russia has always asserted her right
with the United States, secured under ar
bitration, namely-the privilege of pro-
tecting seal in Boring opposite her
own coasts. but the waters below are left
the figures gathered by Collector Milne
at Victoria last fall show that the number
of seals killed on the Asiatic and unpro-
tected side far exceeded the number killed
in the defined zone east of 80 degrees
in the open season.
When Secretary Gresham last August
addressed note to the Russian minister
inviting his government to adhere to the
agreement for the protection of seals in
force between the United States govern
ment and Great Britain he promptly re-
piled follows; II think / can, how
ever, at once inform you that Russia
having to the same degree as the United
States the interest and imperative duty
to equally insure in her waters the pres
ervation of fur SEAL the imperial govern
ment could not give it's adhesion to the
Paris regulations and to legislative meas
ures adopted in consequence at Washing
ton and London, unless the totality of
| these measures be applied likewise to all
waters of the Pacific in the zone affected"

no general tariff legislation will be at

that on the return of the republican par
ty to power they will attempt to apply

san Francisco, April 11.-Last night a
young woman jumped from an Oakland
ferry boat and was drowned. Today the
coroner received a letter through the
mails, signed Nettie Chase, telling him of
her intention OF jumping into the bay.
and saying she had been deceived by a
married man, and mentioning the name OF
Mr.. Dunn the man who led her astray
she said she wished to remain uniden-
titled and to be buried in the potter's field
She enclosed a letter to Dunn, which was
to be handed to him in case he should
Identify her body. This letter tells of her
suffering when she discovered that he
had deceived her and told her that he was
already married. The letter says:
Il de- not accusing you of having placed
me in my present condition, but for the
love have for you. Hoping to meet you
In heaven. I am your true, broken-heart-
ed Nettie.''
The woman was known In Vallejo as
having attempted to kill c. W. Dunn a

feet In the arm. The woman disappeared
in the darkness and Dunn attempted to
hush the matter up Every effort to dis
cover the woman's identity failed She
was known as "Nettie," but no one knew
her last name.
Shortly after the shooting several let
ters We're received by the Vallejo ChronI-
Gle. They were not published at the time,
as the writer could not be located. These
letters gave the woman's reason for
shooting Dunn. According to her, he was
a veritable Don Juan and had ruined
many girls and married women. He had
been shot at twice by angry women be-
fore she tried to kill him, had once been
horse whipped by woman and beaten
by an angry husband. She thought 1t her
duty to kill him in order to save other
innocent women.

Mormon Apostles at Kansas City Mast
Hurry or Find Trouble.
Kansas City. April 1.-THE quorum OF
twelve and Joseph Smith were in execu-
tive session until midnight last night,
and early this morning the session re-
sumed. Questions of grave Importance
to the Church of Latter Day Saints are
being considered, the undercurrent OF
restlessness among the laity having awak-
ened the leaders of the saints to the real
ization that something must be done to
overcome the spirit of opposition manifest
each day since the conference began.
At 2 this afternoon the quorum was still
in secret session. 1t is believed the con-
ference will adjourn next Monday. The
laymen are hoping that the revelation as
to filling the vacancy on the quorum will
be given. There is considerably rivalry
between Kirtland o., Lamont, Iowa, and
Independence, Mo-, for the location of
permanent headquarters. Independence
Is of course now recognized as the New
Zion. but the saints located there are
fearful lest Kirkland or Lamont will wrest
the honors from that place.

Los Angeles, April 11.--"Being a senator

Elkins today, when asked if there was
any foundation for the statement made in
a dispatch recently sent out from Gin
cinnau that the West Virginia senator
would be in the race for the presidency
at the next republican convention. The
dispatch based the senator's chances on
his extensive business connections in the
east, which would make him strong in
that section, and his silver ideas, which
would attract the west.

qualifedly in favor OF free silver and
shall work with the west in an endeavor
to give it its proper place. AS to how the
question can be best handled, I can say
nothing now. Put me down as a sold sill

Some of Them Doubt Prophet Smiths
Revelation From God a Year Ago.
Kansas City. No., April 12.-The
Saints" In session at Independence, are
just now in a peck of trouble. 1t appears
that lengthy revelation, purportng to
be from God. was received by Joseph
Smith a year ago, which made many i'm
portant disclosures. and that the IL, in a
body, have not yet Endorsed the revela-
ton.
Some members of the IL claims to have
received the testimony of God as to the
truth of the revelation. but the others
cannot see 1t that way. The revelation
says:
My servant, Thomas w. Smith, is in
my hand. and his bishopric shall be con-
tinued for a season; If he fully recover he
will enter again the work. II take him
to myself another will be appointed in his
stead when the quorum is filed
The Il. not having approved this reve-
lation as to God, ia causing much unrest.
One popularity of the revelation Is the
reference to prayer headed by the church
for the patriarch apostle, Thomas w.
Smith. who was at that time very i'll.

Their Rights VIII BE Enforced by Bal
lots Instead of Strikes.
Cleveland, April IA new national or
ganizaton of street railway employees was
formed in this city last night, to take the
place of the Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway Employees, which, 1t is
claimed, is now practically dead. The new
society will be known as the National
Street Railway Employees League. The
organizers will at once visit all the prin-
cipal cities. The leaders in the movement
here claim they are in communication
with hundreds of street railway men anx-
ious to become allied with them. The reso-
lutions adopted by the new association
say previous organizations have failed to
accomplish their objects, and strikes had
failed to give relief.
Municipal ownership of street railways
is declared to be the only means whereby
the objects sought can be obtained. The
street car men everywhere are urged to
Join in one mighty effort to gain political
power at municipal elections.
The platform fayors eight hours for a
days work. weekly payment of wages, Ii
censing of street railway employees, insur-
ance and sick benefits being provided for.

INQUIRY ABOUT THE ELBE VICTIMS
English Courts Decide TO Await Develop
mcnts in Rotterdam.

London, April 11.-No date has yet
been set by the Suffolk coroner for the
resumption of the inquiry concerning
the death of the passengers and crew of
the steamer Elbe. The delay Is due to
the fact that the owners of the steam
ship Crathie, which ran down the Elbe,
refused to allow their witnesses to ap-
pear before the coroner on the ground
that it would be prejudicial for the YER
diet of the English jury to be rendered
before the action brought by the North
German Lloyd Company against them
(the owners of the Crathie) in the courts
of Rotterdam has been tried and de-
cided.
