At Bradford. Pa, over the Advance in the
Price Of Ou-Everybody Specializing in
the Commodity.
Bradford, Pa, April 16-The oil mar
ket continues to create excitement
enough for a country circus. Women,
men and boys are talking oil. The
scene at Higgins's brokerage office was
like old times in Bradford. Ladies,
merchants and men in all walks Of life
were there buying and selling com
modify that has enriched hundreds OF
people in this country.
Shortly after dinner a report from
New York TO the effect that the Stand
ard Oil Company had raised the price
of refined one cent gallon was the
means of bringing in new buyers, and
those who had disposed of their hold
ines on the morning market were free
buyers again. For a time to-day 1t
was thought the market had seen It's
top. but tonight the prediction of
three-dollar oil is again ventured, and
there are some who claim four dollars
will be cheap in thirty days.
There are a number of local refiners,
il is said. who have outstanding con-
tracts below these prices and stand to
lose a great deal Of money should the
advance continue. 1t is reported they
are about ready to begin buying crude
i'm order to protect themselves. They
will probably find but little for sale to-
morrow. as it is conceded on AL sides
that oil sold to-day has gone into
stronger hands and into those who
know what is TO come.

Havana, Cuba, April 16.-Chagrin

In command. Col Guerra was the one

IL is expected. however. that he will be
captured. as many small parties are in
pursuit of him.
At the head Of one Of the regiments
of Cubans was Drig.-Gen. Flor CrOm-
bet. who died a hero. His men, en-
couraged with inspiring words Of
cheer. fought like demons, but they
were not well disciplined. They were
brave. but their wrecklessness counted
for naught when opposed to Spain's
regulars. The fighting at Palmaito
began late Saturday. The firing was
rapid and incessanL and the rebels
were losing ground, when just
at dusk. Crombet. mounted on huge
black horse. rallied his troops Tor the
last charge.
The onslaught was a furious one.
Crombet determined 10 lead his force
to victory or die i'm the attempt With
CRY of "Au for Cuba, he sank his
spurs in his horse and dashed at the
Spaniards. Within fifty yards Of
Spains line ne fell bleeding from many
wounds. An instant before he died he

WIRES KEPT HOT
BY the Buyers of Oil at Bradford, Pa, Yes
terdnY-Great Excitement.

terday-Great Excitement.
Bradford, Pa, April 16.-Not since
the memorable Cherry Grove boom
has Bradford been the scene of such
excitement. Although no exchange IS
in existence in this city, those inclined
to speculate have crowded the broker
age Office Of w. C. Higgins, and have
their orders executed on the floor OF
the Oil City exchange. The greatest
excitement prevailed all day, and the
wires We're kept hot with orders.
Field operations are brisk and the
oil we'll supply firms cannot I'LL their
orders. One firm is running twenty
five strings of tools at Ormsby juno
tion in a new pool recently opened.
Five barrel territory is bringing fabu-
lous prices, and the old timers are
dumbfounded and at a loss to account
for so sudden an advance.
Prominent producers are inclined to
believe that the advance is but tenn
porary, and after the Standard Oil
Company have accomplished their OBJ
iect the market will decline consider
ably from those figures. In the mean
time. territory which was considered
improbable years ago, is now being
drilled and lines are being crowded by
operators in their eagerness to get all
the oil to the surface while the high
prices are prevalent The hills are
dotted with new derricks and the ter
ritory. which has been considered dry,
is being drilled IN the hope Of finding a
lower sand.

TO WIPE OUT LEPROSY.
The Hawaiian Government Taking Steps
Toward That End.


Toward That End.
Washington, April 16.-Advices from
Hawaii state that the government au-
thorities have communicated with DR..
Albert D. Hale, of Chicago, with a
view to having him take charge Of the
government experimental labratOry for
the discovery of means TO eradicate
leprosy. Dr. Hale visited Hawaii some
time ago, and expressed a desire to
undertake the meteorological expert
ments under government direction, and
it is in pursuance of this plan that the
health department has submitted a
proposal, which, it is believed, he will
accept. The lepers Of the Island of
Molakai have organized a brass band,
and Admiral Beardslee, in command Of
the United States ship Philadelphia, is
taking an active interest in their ef-
forts In order to secure instruments
for the lepers a concert was given at
Honolulu, and Admiral Beardslee ten
dered the services Of the Philadelphias
band for the occasion.
The Hawaiian sentiment toward the
United States is shown by the annual
banquet and election of the National
Guard. The Stars and Stripes were on
either side as "defenses" to the Hawa-
iian fag. The music Of the event was
Marching Through Georgia." Rally

London, April 16.-The English
manager of the Standard Oil Company,
when questioned to-day in regard to the

the United States and the situation

land had been advanced to correspond

per gallon. He added there had been
no general complaint against the ad-
vance on the part of consumers, but 1t
had been a great surprise to dealers.
The Nobel Brothers, of St Peters
burg, the great Russian oil firm, say
that there is the same advance in the
price of Russian oil as recorded in the
United States. They also say that the
Standard Oil Company has not yet
purchased any oil in Russia.

AN INDEPENDENT REFINER
Gives His Views Of the Present Advance in
Oil.

Cleveland, O., April 16.-Alfred
Whitaker, president and manager OF
the Brooks Oil Company, an indie
pendent refner, said to-day concerning
the big bulge in OIL
THE present price Of crude oil is
higher than it has been for seventeen
years. The truth is that for a long
time the market has been below what
it should have been. 1t never should
have been below 81. The large sur
plus stock of crude in existence for a
term Of years was a menace TO the mar
ket.
This surplus stock, in connection
with the possibility Of new fields open
ing up, has kept the market depressed,
and all refners have been able, as well
as the Standard to buy their raw ma
terial at low figures. This has en-
abled them to make low prices for their
finished product and sell in all mar
kets of the world. An enormous de-
mand has thereby been created in all
parts OF the globe for our petroleum
products, especially those made from
Pennsylvania crude"

MEASURING THE VALUE OF GOLD.
Iowa State Register.

Those who argue that measured by
wheat gold has appreciated should also
see that measured by corn gold has de-
preciated If the argument holds good
in the one case it necessarily does in
the other. Corn is also a worlds sta
pie. 1t is as correct a measure al
wheat. Farmers have sold corn for
25c a bushel, and even less; now they
sell it for soc and even more. Even
superficial observers must see the fall
lacy of measuring gold by either wheaA
or corn, which vary in price with pro-
duction. They must also see that
wages are the best standard, and that
by this measure gold has not appre-
ciated.
