OLNEY FILES A BRIEF
UPoN THAT PETIT!on Fca REREARIac.
He Contends That if Rehearing Is Granted It Should Cover All the Quec-
 tions Involved.

Washington, April 17.-Attorney Gen eral Olney this afternoon filed in the su- preme court of the United States brief upon the petition for a rehearlng of the income tax cases. It was not expected at the department of justice or at the court that the government would re- spond to the notice of Guthrie of the in tention of counsel to ask a rehearing, and at the court some surprise was ex- pressed at the document.
 The attorney-generafs brief says, among other things:
 '',rhe United States respectfully repre- sents that if a rehearing is granted 1t should cover all the legal and constitu- tfonal questions involved, and not mere ly those as to which the court are equal ly divided

Drawing Wire.

Ono of the most interesting mechanical processes as now practiced is that resorted to for tho drawing of wire. The rod is re- ceived by tho wire drawer in the form of coil the rod being of varying section and the coil of q weight depending upon the purpose for which it is intended One end of the rod is pointed and somewhat re- duced by machinery and the coil receives bath in mild ncid to remove all oxida- tion, then is washed in lime water to give drawing surface, and finally dried in suitable ovcn When ready for drawing, tho pointed rod is inserted in one of the holes of drawing plate, the latter being generally of steel, though cast iron is in some cases used; the drawing holes are conical and the rod Is inserted from tho larger end. while on the other side of the plato the pointed end is seized by power pinchcrs and pulled until enough has bcen drawn through to allow of it's being passed around and fastened to a drum or reel which is driven by power. Of course the rod is reduced in area and much elongat- cd, and this without any perceptible loss of metal
 While passing through the plate it is kept fabricated with what is called wire drawers soap or grease, and after being drawn through this first hole it is put s through series of smaller holes until it has been brought down to the requisite size. But tho compression and disturbance of the structure of the rod consequent . upon these reductions have hardened it so much that at certain stages it is necessary j to stop the process and soften the metal by . anhealing. It Is then again washed in D acid, etc., and the drawing resumed 5 Naxy York Sun

A SLUMP IN Oil.
IT DROPPED FRon s2.7o TO @.
Transactions Were Not Large, Though, and Few People Hurt-Everybody Watca-
 ing the Standard

Pittsburg, April 17.-This was the most exciting day in oil circles since the pres ent boom in prices began, and near the close a small sized panic was created.
 On the local exchange certificate oil opened at $255 bid and not until $2.65 was reached was there sale of the May op- tion. From $265 the market advanced to s2.7O and then declined to $2.62, where it remained begged until shortly before the close. Then all of Q sudden an awful surprise came. It was telegraphed from oil City to Pittsburg tEat oil there was offered down as low as $2.5S, ct which price sales were made. Again in few seconds the quotatio from oil City re- ceded to $2.45 IS the p--ce at which certi1- cate oil was being offered on the exchange there. Shortly before the close the mar ket at Oil City was as low as g bid and inside of minute was bid up again to $2.17, at which price transactions in cer- tificate oil were made.
 Then Pittsburg followed Oil City. IT the latter place was bid up or offered down the Pittsbufg market followed, without single transaction being made. Not for nearly twenty years has such wide fluctuations in prices occurred. From $2.70 to $2, a decline of 70 cents, would ten years ago have probably broken many banks and ruined numer- ous people. The decline of today, how ever, is not so disastrous. In this wide range in prices probably not 50,0OO bar rels of certificate oil changed hands. And even those that parted with ccrtlh- cates at today'S extreme low figures prob- ably bought them at much lower prices
 What caused the big slump from $2.7O to $2 nobody seems to know now. What the Standard Oil company will pay for crude oil at their agencies tomorrow will be anxiously awaited, Whatever this price wil& be it will probably govern the speculative market Today's dealings clearly show that if traders thought the Standard oil company twill reduce the price of credit balances they would let go any oil on hand at the present high figures. Of late the speculative market has been running anywhere from 3 to 25 cents higher than the price the Standard paid at their agencies. It is believed now, however, that the speculative mar ket will hug the Standard company's price much more closely than 1t has in the last few days.

HAD TO WALK THE PLANK.
Grcanhut Removed by the New Directory of tke Whisky Trust-0nly One of the Old
 Crowd Present.

Peoria, H., April 17.--Joseph B. Green hut was removed from the presidency and directory of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding company today at the annual meeting of the stockholders. after re- fusing to resign. s. M Rice of New York city is slated as his successor.
 Contrary to predictions, Mir. Greenhut was at the meeting. He was the only one, however. of the old directors to face the new men in control. The others had deserted their former chief, who sat aloof from the other stockholders, with his son as a companion. Richard B. Hartshorne was elected chairman and would have been made director had he been wiling to accept the posi- ton.
 Nearly S5O,O0O shares were represented of which the minority-Greenhut-c trolled only 11,019.
 designations were read from the re- maining directors, excepting MT. Green hut, and were promptly accepted. Upon motion of Levy Mayer Greenhut was asked to resign. This he declined to do, and upon a motion to remove him had his attorney state to the stockholders that it was not in their power to do so. Notwithstanding, a vote was taken and he was removed under protest. He will carry the matter into the courts.
 MT. Greenhut still talks with assur- ance. After the meeting he said: "They seemed to have their own way this after noon, but, mark my word, the tables will yet be turned. I have no doubt of being exonerated. and I know I cannot be legally removed.
 "The meeting this afternoon was only a confab of Wall street jobbers, and as my removal is illegal no acts of the new board will amount to anything, with Schefte1 casting an illegal vote"

This decision was reached after a long meeting and after confer ence with the committee, which began at noon yesterday and lasted from o'clock last night until 10 to-day. A strenuous effort was made by those who were anxious to keep the Baltimore and Ohio company in the dividend list to pay 1 per cent cash dividend, but they were outvoted by the ultra conservatives.
 The directors declared the customary semi-annual dividend of per cent on the stock of the Washington branch.
 The summary of the entire Baltimore and Ohio system shows for the nine months of the fiscal year 1S94-95, ending March 31, receipts of $17, ,O62 and ex- penses of $11. .S54,05e. as compared with $17,525,069 and $11,9S5,3S7 for the corre- spending period of 1Ss3-94, net decrease of $S1,3
