srGARTRUsT NERVE.

The Sugar Trust has undertaken to
play the boycott against foreign sugar
and has notified the brokers who sell
its product that they must not engage
in the business Of selling refined sugars
from abroad.
This arbitrary edict will cut the
profits of some Of the brokers, and may
temporarily embarrass the operations
Of importers who have been accustom-
ed TO utilize the services of the regular
trade brokers; but it is folly to suppose
that it will stop the importation of
foreign sugars when market cOndi-
lions shall admit of their sale in COM
petition with the product Of the Trust.
That concern must hit beyond the in
termediary agent if it wishes to accom-
plish anything from such a boycott.
The Sugar Trust will have to find a
way to punish the buyer as well as the
statesmen if it would prevent the pur-
chase of imported refined sugar by the
wholesale grocers, and this will be a
difficult task even for the magnates Of
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany.

TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS.

The ordering of the cruisers San
Francisco and Marblehead, compris-
ing the entire naval force of the United
States now on the European Station,
tOproceed with all possible speed to the
coast Of Asia Minor, is said to have
been the result Of information commu-
nicated to the State Department by the
American Board of Foreign Missions.
The unsatisfactory results of diplo-
matte negotiations at Constantinople,
and the apparent inability of the
Turkish Government to give adequate
assurances Of the safety Of the Amer
lean teachers and nurses who have
devoted their lives to the amelioration
Of the condition of their fellow-mortals
in Darkest Asia, seem to have made a
display of force advisable. The mean
ing of the appearance of American war
ships in the harbors Of Smyrna, Bel
ruth and Alexandretta will be under
stood by the most stupid of Turkish
pashas, and the coming of the ships
will infuse into the fanatical Oriental
mobs a wholesome respect for the
rights Of American citizens. The meas
ures taken by the administration will
allay a widespread feeling of anxiety
for the safety of American missionar-
les in the Turkish Empire.

Col 4. ID. MacCorkIe and Bride in the City.
Romantic Features of Their Escape from
the Wrath of the Brides Irate Relatives.
The old saying that love laughs at
lOcksmiths was never more romantic
ally eXemplitied than in the case OF
Col. A. d. MacCorkle and his young
bride, who was Miss Carrie Comstock,
with whom he eloped in regular days
of old, when knights were bold fash
ion, last Friday, as told in Saturdays
Commercial Gazette, and came to Gin
cinnati, where they are now quartered
at the Gibson House. Col. MacCorkle
is the brother of the Governor of West
Virginia, both he and his bride are res
idents of Charleston, and representa-
tives of two of the F. f. VS., whose
aristOcratic circles are considerably
shaken by the daring runaway match.
Col. MacCorkle had been laying
siege at the heart of Miss Comstock for
more than year, only to be repulsed
by the enemy in the shape of his in
amOrita's stern mother, but suddenly
outwitted her by a daring flank move
ment and carried off his prize. Sym
pathetic friends assisted a special
train was secured, there was quick
mile dash to where the engine stood
with full steam on-a couple of men
ready for the purpose seized the reins
of the horses, the pretty little bride
was whisked on board in the twink
ling of an eye-the track was cleared
and they were off for Gallipolis and
happiness. Here the nuptial knot was
hurriedly tied and just as) the nuptial
blessing was being bestowed, a mes
senger in hot haste presented tele-
gram demanding their arrest. This,
of course, they laughed to scorn, and
sent a message in return signed Car
RE and Dave" asking for regulation
forgiveness.
1t is just possible that this may be a
little slow in coming, as Mrs. Comstock
has declared her intention of disinher-
iting her daughter and she has the
reputation Of being a woman of her
word {
The match meets with the heartiest
approval of the MacCorkle side of the
family, and of the friends of both par
ties, and kilograms of congratulations
poured in upon the happy couple at
the Gibson House all day long yester-
day.
Mrs. MacCorkle is very young, near
is, pretty and petite while her hus-
band is near 80. He is a typical East
ern Virginian, tall and dark and chiv-
alrOus, as SOutherners are wont to be.
He is prominent lawyer in Charles
ton. Col. and Mrs. MacCorkle are at
the Gibson for the present, and have
no definite plans for the immediate flu
ture. They have a number of friends
in Cincinnati, many of whom called
upon them yesterday afternoon, and
found them happy and thoroughly un-
regretful.-Cincinnati Commercial Ga

WEST VIRGINI4NS NATURAL WEALTH.
The current issue of the Manufac-
turer's Record contains a West Vir-
giniaSupplement which is compact,
complete, and comprehensive survey
of the vast resources and capabilities
of this State, being composed Of special
articles from Gov. MacCorkle, ex-Gov
Fleming, Major Jed Hotchkiss and
others, and is we'll worthy of preserva-
ton for the valuable and interesting
information it contains.
In a nutshell, West Virginia has
1900 miles of coal unsurpassed in
quality and ease of mining, $1,000, 900
acres of virgin forests, apparently un-
limited l-bearing territory, even now
yielding 10000 barrels a day, many
other rich mineral resources, and ag-
ricultual capabilities commensurate
with this Industrial foundation. AS
the Record says, a State possessing
these has wealth-creating possibilities
so great that no one would dare at
tempt to forecast its future. Our con-
temporary says:
Here is mineral wealth greater by far in
its magnitude and in area than all the
mineral resources of Great Britain. II is
most advantageOusly located for devel-
Opment. With nearneSS TO the seaCOast
on one side 10 has on the other the vast
interests
ohio. which must draw for their support
largely from its great treasure-hOuse of
raw materials. The development of West
Nlr-. ulu, active as IL has been for ten
years. must double and quadruple i'm the
early future. I'm this magnificent region
there iS a wide field for the safe invest
ment of capital for the building of rail-
roads. the opening of coal mines and the
establishment of woodworking enter
prises and many other industrial inter
ests.
From 1850 to 1898 this State, as our
contemporary says, advanced it's coal
production from 100000 tons to TO-
100000 tons. Some excellent authori-
ties believe that this will be largely
more than doubled in ten years more.
In fact, Major Hotchkiss, than whom
there is no one who more fully under
stands the coal regions of West Vir-
ginia, predicts that from the Lower
Coal Measures of the State alone, the
output of which is now 100000 tons a
year, the annual production within
five years will be from $4,000, 600 to 20
100000 tons.

THE sIsTERsvILLE CRUSADE.

The following, from the Tyler Coun-
ty Star, published at MiddlebouTne
the county seat of Tyler, shows the
sentiment in that community concern
ing the sale of liquor in Sistersvile:
Some of the people in Sistersville
who pretend TO be respectable and law
abiding deserve the severest criticism
for the stand they have taken in re-
gard to the action taken by the minis
ters of that town to close up the speak
easies. We refer to such as were
quoted in the Review as condemning
the ministers, if they were correctly
quoted. Some say the ministers are
out of their sphere and should attend
to their own business; others that the
move will kill the town; others that it
will fail. The Review itself, though
ayowing that it is opposed to lawless-
ness, throws a pail Of awfully cold
water on the movement, and says the
illegal sale of spurious liquors there
cannot be stopped, and it would be bet
ter to let it alone as 1t is than to keep
up the war.
"All this stuff is disgusting and I'M
worthy of the people who give express
sion to it. The truth is they want to
make it appear that they are not in
sympathy with the evil doing that goes
on, because they think they must take
that side of the case to maintain their
standing as reputable citizens But
their stand in this matter of suppress
ing the existing evils is not consistent
with any very str ong sentiment
against those evils"

THE DREADED ARMY WORM
Has Made its Appearance in Kentucky and

Has Made its Appearance in Kentucky and
is Sweeping Everything Before it.
Russellville, KY, April 15.-The
much dreaded army worm has made
it's appearance in this and many OF
the surrounding counties. There are
millions of them and they are making
a clean sweep of everything green that
lies in their way. They have devas-
tated fields of young corn and clover
and hundreds of plant beds have been
literally eaten up-not a sprig of the
tobacco plants being left. Some. of the
farmers have resolved their beds and
it will throw their crops late. Farm
ers are ditching against the worms,
and bushels of them have been killed.
The greatest surprise to the farmers
is that these worms have made their
appearance so early. 1t has been four
teen years since the armw worms
were as numerous in this section as
they now are, and they have arrived
six weeks earlier than on their former
visit.

NEW srEEL-MAKING TERRITORY.

The starting of the great Bessemer
steel plant Of the Johnson Company, at
Lorain, Ohio, is commented upon as an
indication Of an approaching change
in the center of the Bessemer cteeI in
dustry. Two years ago a large Besse-
mer steel works was established in
New Castle, Pa. and since the begin
ming Of this year a large plant has COM
menced operations in Youngstown, o.,
these two mills being situated in the
great iron manufacturing region that
lies midway between Pittsburg and
Lake Erie. Now the Johnson Com
pany has taken a more decided step
and has planted its works on the
shores of Lake Erie
Prior to the erection Of their new
plant the managers Of the Johnson
Company made an exhaustive study
Of the question of location; and the
conditions which finally determined
the selection of a site on Lake Erie
are quoted as having an important
bearing upon the future development
Of the iron and steel Industries, partic-
ularly the manufacture of 'Bessemer
steel The two factors Of greatest i'm
portance in this industry are the
sources of supply of fuel and ore.
Pittsburg, by reason Of its nearness
to the great Connellsville coke region,
has been considered the most advan-
tageous center for the manufacture Of
Bessemer pig iron and it's conversion
into steel; but the remOteness of the
great iron ore deposits of the Lake Su-
perior region has made the cost of
transporting the ore a great disadvant-
age to Pittsburg manufacturers. A
move toward the ore fields means a
saving in freight on this raw material;
but at the same time the freight on
coke is increased. AS the making of
a ton Of Bessemer pig iron requires
the use Of about one and three-lOurths
tons of iron ore. while less than a ton
OF coke is consumed. it Will be seen
that the cost of transporting the ore
presents a larger opportunity for saw
Jag than the freight upon the smaller
quantity OF fuel.
This same advantage over Pittsburg
to less degree Wheeling would en-
joy with the proposed canal to the
Lake and the projected road TO the
Connellsville coke field, by which en-
terprises Wheeling would get her coke
as cheap as Pittsburg and her ore
cheaper.
There is another point, also, which
must be borne in mind in this cOnnec-
ton. namely. that proximity to raw
material is not everything, as in the
case Of some of the extraordinarily
cheap iron of the South. where the adj
vantage Of cheap raw material is offset
by the cost of carrying the finished
product TO the market. Taking the
latter highly important point into con-
sideration as well as the others. when
We shall have built the Connells-
vile railroad and the proposed water
way to the lake, insuring as cheap
coke as Pittsburg and cheaper ore to
our manufacturers, Wheeling, with her
cheap fuel and abundance of raw ma
terial of every kind. can give points
TO any other locality in the all around
game of manufacturing and come out
ahead.

A special from Pittsburg last night
in regard to the oil market is as fol-
lows: Oil has passed the 81 mark and
reached the first quarter post on the
way to SO. The Standard Oil Company
opened the day by announcing 81 as
the price for credit balances. This
was an advance of % cents over Sat
urday's figure. The opening bid on
the exchange was sos, but the first
sale was at $2.15. In two bounds it
was up to 1925, the highest price yet
reached on the phenomenal rise.
The trading on the exchange was
less active but more feverish than
last week, and the fluctuations were
very wild. From $2.25 the price quick
ly receded to $2.13, then mounted in a
twinkling to $2.2412, and was back
again to 1920 at p. m. The sales
during the first half of the day were
about 10000 barrels here and $4,000
barrels in Oil City, a portion OF the
latter being for Pittsburg account.
The pipe line figures for the month
to date do not indicate any increase
in the production. For the month OF
March the runs by the lines controlled
by the Standard averaged $4,000 bar
rels a day. For the first II days of
ADril the runs have averaged only 3d.
~
increase the producers are evidently
holding their oil for still higher prices.
In the Ohio field these conditions are
reversed. The producers there are
rushing their oil through the lines, APP
parently satisfied TO make sure of the
Improvement in price while it lasts.
The runs by the Buckeye lines during
last month averaged Al 600 barrels
day. SO far this month the average
is $4,000 barrels.
Although the statistical situation of
the trade furnished grounds for a
sharp advance in prices the latter
have now reached point that causes
the public to look for some Interior
motive. The fact that the independ-
ent producers and refiners held
meeting in this city last week and re-
fused to give out any information re-
lating thereto, was responsible for
rumor that the independents were be-
ing squeezed by the rise.
Heretofore when the Standard want
ed to get rid of competing refiners,
it would advance the price of crude
and depress the price of refined, and
it was only a matter of a short time
until the independents were forced to
retire. In the present instance, how
ever, the price of refined oil has more
than kept pace with the advance in
crude.
AS stated in this paper on Saturday,
refined has been marked up in Pitts
burg about 81 per barrel. and the ten
dency is still upward. The foreign re-
fined markets have also risen from so
to Is per cent. since the LIST inst. 1t
is apparent, therefore, that the indie
pendent refners share with the Stand
ard the benefits of the movement, and
in this view of the case the theory of
a squeeze is untenable. Another the
DRY for the advance is that the long
talked-of international agreement be-
tween American and Russian oil in
terests has at last been consummated.

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU SPECU-
LATE.

AS to the speculative end of the oil
market, a well-known producer OF the
greasy fluid. who was in the city yes
terday. said to a Register reporter:
q believe the policy of the Standard
will be to follow the market up until
it gets control of the 700 odd certifi-
Gates outstanding, which furnishes
The stock in trade for the exchanges.
The higher the price goes the greater
he danger to the Spectator. The lat
.er will not find a broker willing to
axe the increased risk. and the re-
suit will be that the exchange price
md the Standards price will get to
parity. Then the big company will
no doubt get the certificates. If the
next monthly pipe line report shows
a large reduction in the latter, it will
be notice to the public that there is
nothing left to speculate in. In that
event. the Standard will again assume
control of the price, and it will I'M
doubtedly be lower than that now cur
rent.
