PETROLEUM FOR FUEL.

ant Nathan Sargent to proceed at once
to the oil fields of Pennsylvania. where
he will make a careful investigate OF
the various grades of petroleum pro-
duced IN the region, with a view to its
use as fuel for marine engines. Upon
the conclusion of this work he will re-
port to the authorities in charge of the
Newport torpedo station and plans will
be drawn up for an oil engine which
will be placed in one of the new torpe-
do boats now being built by the
Herreshoffs.
This will be the first attempt to use
petroleum as fuel for the torpedo fleet.
but from the success that has been at
tanned with this motive force in swift
steam launches owned by private par
ties. both here and abroad, the Navy
Department looks very fayorably on
the experiment Some of the advan-
tages expected from the fuel are econo-
my Of machine space and consequently
greater fuel-carTying capacity, economy
in the cost of fuel and the ability to
develop extremely high steam pressure
under forced draught. The plans for
the new engine are not yet laid. and
will depend largely on the report on
the various grades of petroleum at COM
mand 1t is possible that with this in
novation in fuel will be combined the
use of the steam turbine engine, whose

ANTI-JEWISH RIOTS.

PILSEN (Bohemia), Aug. 22.-The
disturbances which began on Friday
by the fanatical opponents of the Jews
were resumed yesterday. They arose
from quarrel between a German Jew
ish student named Hartmann and a
Bohemian student named Schmidt.
While the police were escorting Hart

smashed all the windows in the syn
agogue, the Jewish schools and the

The authorities called out the military

paraded the town from o'clock in the
afternoon until II in the evening, when
a regular system of military control

FULL BLOODS THREATEN.
They Are Opposed to Breaking Up
Cherokee Tribal Government.

CHELSEA Q. T), Aug. 22.-To-day
the report reached here that the Kee-
iowa Society, an organization among
the Cherokee full blood Indians, had
threatened personal damage to the
members of the Cherokee Commission,
should they make an agreement with
the Dawes Commission looking to the
destruction of the tribal government,
and as a result there is much stir in
fum-blood circles of this district. 1t has
been privately known for some time
that the Keetowa, which is powerful
organization, was very much averse
to treating, but that they should open
ly threaten meets with surprise. 1t
was the Keetowas who last winter,
sent a full blood delegation to Wash
ington to endeavor to persuade Con-
gress to prevent their governments ex-
tinction, and they also are the leaders
of the scheme to emigrate all the In
dams to Mexico, when their govern
ment is abolished. This society has
about 500 members in this district, and
controls the politics of the nation. The
citizens of this district are fearful lest
the full bloods will arise in arms to

place to forcible resistance of armed
capital, even though badged with the
venal and corrupt authority of pluto
cratic judges.
Resolved, That we herewith place
ourselves on record as being to the last
extreme against tolerating the present
or any other attempt to abridge any of
the rights, privileges and liberties of

the Action of the Agitators-

LONDON, Aug 22.-Special dis
patches from Constantnople say that
the meeting of the peace conference to-
morrow is likely to develop crisis. 1t
is understood that Sir Philip Currie, the
British Embassador to Turkey, has re-
ceived fresh instructions, the nature
of which will be developed at the meet

According to other dispatches the rev.
olutfonary threats Of the Armenians

taken. 1t is said also that the Arme-
nian patriarchs have discovered the
action of the agitators and apologized
profusely and humbly ITO the Sultan,
and prepared an encyclical denouncing
the bomb throwing which was read in
all the Armenian churches to-day.
Dispatches from Canea say that the

EXPORT OF WHEAT.
Russia's Prohibition of 1t Will
Send Up Freights.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-THE
press" will say tomorrow:
Word has been received at this port
that the Russian Government is medl-
Itating the PRONUNCIATION Of decree pro-
hibiting the export of wheat, owing to
the small crops in Southern Russia, and
this report is causing some uneasiness
to those interested. The effect of this
contemplated action will be to create a
strong active demand for tonnage in the
Black Sea so that as much grain as is
possible may be shipped before the pro-
hibition takes effect.
This in itself would be calculated to
force up freights on vessels loading
here. A we'll known shipping man in
this city said that this contemplated ac-
ton of the Russian Government makes
it almost a settled fact that Europe must
look to the United States to fill her
orders for cereals. Just what Increase
of business this means for Philadelphia.
New York and Baltimore alone is in
calculable. The exports of grain from
Philadelphia, which already are the
largest on record, will reach figures in
excess of what has been the most san
guine expectation of shippers. Within the
next few weeks cargoes of grain Will be
shipped from here to ports in the Adri-
attic Sea, to st. Louis Du Rhone, Mar
seiIles and Alexandria, Egypt.
This in itself serves to confirm the
rumored prohibitory export law of the
Russian Government, for unless some
thing of the kind is contemplated it
would be an unusual action to make
such imports from ports at such dis
tance.
Among the figures made for Mediter-
ranean ports may be mentioned the
British steamship Pictou, which loads
either here or at Baltimore, 14,0O0 quar-
ters of grain for Cork for orders at
2s Cd, with option of Marseilles or st.
Louis du Rhone at As and the steamship
Ruysdall, i, 900 quarters for Cork for
orders at 3s 41sd, and Adriatic As 112d.

General appeared here before Judge

He therefore named Wednesday next

cation for a temporary injunction.

violent and his nurse and valet began to
realize that Mr.. Deacon was demented.
The attorney who has charge of Mr..
Deacons property as trustee was sum-

an expert on insanity. Shortly after
wards Mr. Deacon became demonstra-
tive and discharged his nurse. Anoth-
er nurse was summoned and all day

send him to the Mclean Hospital as

seemed but a shadow of his former self.

seek to do him harm.
