BUCHANAN MUST DIE.

Washington, D. c., April 17.-Chief
Justice Fuller. in the United States
Supreme court today. denied the appli-
cation of DR.. Robert W. Buchanan,
the New York wife murderer, for a
writ of error. He will be executed
next week.
The attorneys for Buchanan were in
court when their application was
denied and subsequently said they
would now take the case to the Brit
ish ambassador, and ask him TO in
terfere in Buchanan's behalf, he being
a British subject. They will endeavor
also to secure respite from Governor
Morton pending Sir Julian Paunce-
forte's investigation of the case. The
appeal to the ambassador they base
on the same ground as that upon
which the United States took an in
terest in the case of Mrs. Maybrick.

Chicago, April 17.-The meeting of
Colorado lines which convened for the
purpose of forming poo, on freight
traffic. was adjourned without accom-
plishing Its object. The roads nearly
came to an agreement, but finally
concluded that their differences could
not be adjusted at this time, and adj

to stop the irregularities existing III

IN THE OIL FIELDS.
MORE MONEY WILL BE LOST THAN
FOR SOME TIME.
an Authority Says Millions VIII BE
Sunk in Dry Holes. as Result
of the Present Boom.

'There will be more money lost in the
oil business this year than for a long
time past"
This is ffe prediction Of the president
of one of the local pipe lines. He said he
did not refer TO the result of the tranSac-
lions on the exchanges but to the opera
tons in the fields. Leases, bonuses, roy
alties, material and labor are all being
based on the advance in the price of
crude oil. The number of field operations
last year was II, 500, the largest total since
1880. Notwithstanding this large increase
the production of new wells was compar
atively small. Approximately. $47, 900, 900
was put into field work. From reports
already received from various regions the
number of operations and the cXpendi-
ture involved will greatly exceed the to-
Quantities the market price of the COM
modify. will certainly decline. while the
cost of production will have been based
upon the present high figure. If oil Is not
struck in large quantities. the loss will be
equally great. In any event, millions will
be sunk in dry holes.
Closing Sales.
The lowest sales were made at S2.15. and
the lowest point touched was 2.10. The
closing figure was 2.1612. Although the
estimated but few people lost, as most of
the oil held here was bought at figures
below 81. Besides this nearly all the
brokers have refused to handle margins
of less than 81 a barrel. The market fell
from 2.49 to 2.15 in 20 minutes. The brol5-
erS here explain the slump by the fact
that Spectators in Oil City became panic
stricken, and all tried to sell out at once.
The alarm was increased by the fact that
the Standard agents refused to buy certi-
fcatest from curbstone brokers at the
fixed price of $3.50 per barrel, though
they never stopped taking oil from regu-
lar producers at that figure. In spite of
the panic here, not over 10000 barrels
were sold all day.
a Standard official today said the scare
ity of oil was not sufficient to justify
prices above 81, and characterized the
fancy prices as a wind boom. The Stand
ard advanced the prices of refined today
one cent. This makes an advance of five
cents since last Saturday.
J. NJ. Guffey predicted the market to-
morrow would recover all it had lost, say
ing it had fallen because a lot of people
got scared. It is believed here If the
Standard retainS its present price of $3.50,
tomorrow oil will go to SO by o'clock,
and should the Standard reduce the price
for cash oil to 81, the speculative price
will range between S2.25 and S. Two
men holding 5000 barrels of oil announced
on the exchange during the panic they
We're going to hold it until it was worth

Third-rhat even if he were he had

Washington, April 1.-Two officials OF
the department of agriculture are pursu-
ing their investigation in the recent big
rise in the price of beef, and it is more
than likely they will have something def
mite to say within the next week with
reference to the cause of the matter and
the probable outcome. The action of the
department in raising the embargo on
Mexican cattle is expected to have the eff
feet of keeping the price of beef from go
ing vp higher, even if it does not cause a
decline.
Cattle in the West.
DR.. Salmon, chief of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, said today there was an
undoubted scarcity of cattle in the west
creased price of dressed meats.
The only question: said he, lis wheth-
er this scarcity is sufficient to account for
it altogether, or whether the few big men
who control the beef market have not, to
a certain extent at least, anticipated the
effect of this scarcity. In other words,
whether the effect has not come before
the cause. What we are anxious to know
is, whether the price of cattle has gone
up in proportion to the price OF beef. 1t
is not an easy matter to settle, and our
agents are meeting some difficulty in get
ting at the facts in the matter, but the
reports are beginning to come in.
Scarcer and Scarcer.
fOE SOl16 llIue past III.
Salmon, cattle have been getting scarcer
and scarcer in the west, and especially in
the southwest. The condition of the grass
has been so poor cattle have well-nigh
disappeared entirely. In southwestern
Texas, for example, where there used to
be tremendous herds, there are practical
~ none today. There has been a great
Improvement in the grass this year in
Texas and other western states, but the
cattle are not there to take advantage of
it. That is one reason that influenced the
department in its decision to raise the
embargo on cattle from Mexico. Mexi-
can cattle have been looked upon with
disfavor for the reason that Texas fever
is known TO exist on the other side of the
border and a quarantine has been kept
up in the summer.
Caused BY the Packers.
The action of the packers in raising the
price of beef to such an extent resulted
in the department raising the embargo.
The department has increased it's force of
inspectors and all incoming cattle will be
rigidly examined Furthermore the Mex
lean cattle seem to be in an unusually
good condition this year..
