KEROSENE GOES UP.
The Oil Trust Manipulates the Market
for Raise in the Price.

There has been q local advance In
the price of kerosene, owing to the
manner in which the oil trust has
handled the market, and which, ac-
cordingly. sent prices up, The oil
formerly retailed at 10 cents per gal
lon, or so cents for five gallons. The
advance in the price has been general
all over the country. Local retailers
bought early in October at 8 cents a
gallon, but by the end of the month
the price dropped to Sla; then about
the middle of November it went up 10
81, while now 1t is 9A. All our
dealers buy from the Standard oil COM
pany, headed by Rockefeller. The in
crease in the price in the past two
weeks has, 1t is estimated, quite made
up the $1.OO0,o00 dowry given by
Rockefeller TO his daughter on her
marriage to young Mccormick a few
days ago and also the 100000 be-
quest to the Chicago university.

read the courts answer to Holmes
counsel's reasons for new trial He
took up the fifteen exceptions to the
verdict one at a time and dwelt at
length upon each The main reasons
for new trial which were put forth
by the defendants counsel were the
admission Of the testimony of Miss
Yorke, who Holmes claimed as his
lawful wife; the district attorney s

brought the murder of the children
into the case, and that part of Mrs.
Pietzers testimony in which she said

witness the judge said that 1t was the
opinion of the court that Holmes was
not only married to the WiIlmette, Ill,
woman when he welded Miss Yorke,
but that he also had wife in Gilman,
Yorke was null and void, and the evil
dence was admissible. The opening
speech Of the district attorney, he said,
was not open to objection. 1t was the
evident intention Of Holmes, said
Judge Arnold, to take off the entire
Pietzel family In order to secure prop
erty belonging to the murdered man
He closed by saying the court ap-
proved the verdict and refused new
trial. Judge Arnold then pronounced

CAL CHANGES FOR PROFIT.
SIR PHILIP BACKS DOWN
His Action not Well Received in
Great Britain-The Retreat OF the
Dryad Considered Only a Tenn
porary Moye-Sultan's Annoying
Obstinacy.

London, Dec 1.-THE dispatch from
Constantinople Saturday afternoon
which announced the humiliating
back down by the British ambassador,
Sir Philip Currie, in his insistence,
based Jon treaty rights. that Great
Britain, and incidentally Russia, Italy
and Austria, be allowed extra guard
ships In the Bosphorus, was not we'll
received by the tories and is certain to
be made much of by their opponents.
Although the Dryad has been or
dered back to Salonica, 1t is under
stood in official circles that this -
only temporary move taken in order
to avoid giving any provocation
which might lead to rioting In Con-
stantinople, and the sultan's obstinacy
in this matter is all the more annoy
ing, as it is clear the powers are being
dallied with and placed in an undig-
nified position by Abdul Hamid, who
evidently is sksptical as to the long
evity of the European compact.
The suggestion has been published
here that the sultan has few brokers
operating on different foreign bourses
and that he has been personally man
ipulating the recent rapid changes in
the political situation in the east from
a speculative point of view. II this is
true, Abdul Hamid must have made
huge profits during the past few
weeks merely on the movements OF
funds which attended various phases
of the extra guardships question,
which has been the great attraction OF
politics throughout the week

Greenway turns deaf ear. 1t is in
evitable that if the dominion authori'
ties restore Catholic schools in
Manitoba they must do SO by force.
There is apparently growing move
ment in favor of secession from the
dominion, which means the setting up
OF a crown colony, entirely independ-
ent of Ottawa authority.

will meet on Jan. 2. This will be the
sixth session in one parliament, a
