A MIILTI-MILLIONAIRE

The Latest Story About Lord :Sholto Douglas.
His Latest WindfaIl
The following special dispatch from San
francisco, of date February Goth, was pub
lishel in the New York World:
MRS. Addis-Mooney, mother-in-law of
Lord Sholto Douglas, says that by the death
of an uncle, Rev. Archibald Douglas, in
London. Shol.o will come into about $3,.
100000. we received the good news by
cable yesterday she said. 1T merely an
nounced the death of Rev. Archibald Doug
las and said that there was money for
Sholto, but know all about it. His uncle
was very wealthy priest. and Sholto is his
sole heir. Sholto is now in the southern
part of the state but will be here in few
days. lie knows nothing about his good
luck yet. The cablegram came to our
home in Oakland and Lady Douglas, who
is now with me, opened it. We will tele-
graph to Sholto tomorrow. Of course Shol-
to and his wife will now give up the stage.
Though they have made a big success, il
would be foolish for them to work when
they can live without working"
II Lord Shalto has fallen heir to any such
fortune as that stated, the young man has
kept the fact to himself. He has been in
Los Angeles for some days, and it is
claimed that he is about to 60 on a thou
sand mile burro trip with another young
Englishman through Arizona, with view
OF collecting materials for book. Douglas
gave out that his father, the marquis of
Queensberry, had made him an allowance
of $500, or $500 per annum, and SO far
as known, this is all he has. Lady Douglas
is also in the city, but she has given no in
timation of this latest windfall.

of the city very materially. Pernambuco

called Mocha. or genuine Padang
Java. What is not sold for home
consumption, is shipped to Europe, where
it brings the highest price of any coffee
from any country. 1t should be borne i'll
mind that the total population OF South
America is only 50,000,OOO, yet they not
only produce for themselves in great abun-
dance all the necessaries of life, but export
to foreign countries nearly 4O0,OOO,000
of the products of their varied industries.
Surely in view of this we cannot with fair
ness be called lazy race of people. Manu-.
featuring concerns are being established
increasingly in all the principal cities and
towns. Our physicians are men of splen-
did requirements and as up-to-date as their
compeers in any country, and the same
may be said of our lawyers, literary men
and journalists. Our merchants are men
of honor, and there is no more risk in doing
business in South America than in New
York or Chicago. Ortiz, who has raised
the revolutionary flag in Nicaragua, is

but that Zeleta is confident of his strength,
and that by waiting he would not only be
able to destroy Ortiz. but to
make a final breakup of the gang
OF ruffians, who, like himself, have
all to gain, naught to lose. Ortiz has

L. T. SCOTS FRANCHISE
Terms of the Contract Not to Be
Carried Out
A. p. Magin mis- and Q Syndicate Were Behind
the Enterprise-Scott's Bondsmen
Hay Have to Suffer

1t begins to look as if the L. F. Scott
franchise for electric lighting is to fall to
the ground without having accomplished
any results. The privilege was granted on
July "a, 1895, the terms of the ordinance
signed by the mayor in connection with
the matter at the time, being that work
upon the proposed new plant must be be-
gun inside of three months, and that within
year at least SIC 900 was to be expended
upon the work.
So far, nothing has been done by Scott,
only the terms of whose franchise was that
he light the city hall free of charge for a
period of twenty-five years. The board of
public works and the council at
the time thought this to he the best
tender for the privilege which
was made, although there was one bid up
for consideration which carried with it a
cash consideration of some $500.
Scott is understood to have heen merely
a dummy in the successful ID, "A. L. Ma
ginnis and syndicate being the real bid
ders for the franchise. Maginnis drew out
of the scheme and his interest was assumed
or transferred by Scott to L. o. Grant and
Csptain John Cross, who signed his bond
for 1000 for the faithful performance
of mis- contract.
1t is now generally conceded that the
council, at the time threw away $500 in
cash upon contingency. which, while it
looked plausible upon its face, was known
to some of its members at least to be moth
ing short of bluff.

INTERESTING STATISTICS
Los Angeles Produces as Much Oil as
Southwestern Pennsylvania
The OUTPUT Of the Local Field Will Reach
$4,000 Barrels this nonth-Price
Quotations

Owing to the continued scarcity of tank
cars no shipments of oil were yesterday
made to San Pedro, where the tank steam
er Enoch Talbot is now lying receiving her
initial cargo of 1000 barrels of petroleum
for the San Francisco market. II is ex-
pected thai the fifteen cars necessary to
complete her load will be sent down today.
and the steamer be enabled to get away
on tonight's high tide. Up to last night
the exchange had shipped thirty-two cars
this month to various interior points. Five
cars were sent to San Francisco and some
twenty-one wagon loads of twenty barrels
each have been hauled to Pasadena. The
Hotel Green of the latter city ia a large
consumer of the local product, using an
average of 400 barrels per month. Hotel
San Gabriel also uses oil for fuel, although
in less quantity.
Several carloads were sent to San Diego
and Oceanside, and the Santa Rosa mine,
near Perrs, has adopted petroleum for its
fuel. While the consumption does not yet
equal the production a few figures may be
of interest as showing the extent of the
output of the field. During the month, as
stated above, thirty-two carloads of oil
were shipped by rail, which is equivalent
to 5000 barrels; hauled by wagon to near
by consumers, 500 barrels; and the cargo
to go north by the steamer, 1000 barrels,
making about 900 barrels as the output
of the oil exchange. The Union Oil COM
pany has handled probably little in ex-
cess of this amount, which, with the prod
uct of the Doheny & Common wells, and
that handled by the Producers Oil COM
pany, will bring the total output for the
month to at least 35 900 barrels.
By reference to a recent copy of the Oil
City Derrick, it is seen that the total pro-
duction of the entire eastern oil field, COW
erlng the wells of several states, will
average about 65 900 barrels per day. The
flow from the wells of the southwestern
Pennsylvania district will reach but 3d.
900 barrls per month, on an average.
Prices, however, are much more satisfac-
tory in the east than here. The latest
quotations range from S1.50 per barrel for
the Tiona oil, to 7S cents for Indiana Pc
troleum. AS fixed by the exchange, local
prices are 65 cents delivered.
A sale was yesterday made by the ex-
change of 1000 barrels to single con-
sumner at the prevailing rate. Prospects
for still higher prices are considered as
flattering, owing to the increasing con-
sumption and the diminishing supply. and
none of those we'll posted on the market
will be surprised to see an advance to rs
cents per barrel inside of the next two
weeks.
