principal northern cities OF the United
States, and It produces about 65 per
cent of this countrys total output OF
refined oil. II embraces 40 or 80 small
err companies and controls the pipe
lines laid for the transmitting Of oil TO

controlled the market price Of petro.

In accordance with the mandate Of
the federal courts the Standard Oil
trust started to 'liquidate," but this
has now been ostensibly in progress
for years. The trust certificates are
being formally cancelled, and the trus-
tees are assigning to the owners the
legal title to the stocks which were
formerly held in trust. The biggest
oil combinations are as follows:

The biggest trust OF also far as
stock capitalization stands for bigness
has just been formed In the state of
New Jersey 1t is called the Federal
Steel company and its authorized CAPT
tai stock is 5000, 900, 600. The objects
Of this colossal corporation are tersely
outlined in the articles OF incorporation
US follows:
Mining OF all kinds; manufacturing
of all kinds; transportation of goods

other lines for transportation, and the
purchase, improvements or sale of

There is reason to believe that var
ious existing industries will soon gath
err under the sheltering wings OF this
expansive cooperation. Some idea of
the vast sums Of money that hGve be-
come concentrated in steel and iron
companies may be obtained from the

the news reached Wilmington. There
were only two Senators who voted against

the petition asking far It's repeal.
| Attorney General Robert G. White was
here to day In reference to the passage Of
the resolution to appoint a commission to
settle the dispute between Now Jersey and

Of the United States, and had been since
1886 Mr.. White said that II something
was not done to settle the matter, the
State of New Jersey would bring another
suit In the Supreme Court Of tho United
States. he suggested that commission
be appointed to see what can be done.
One way 10 SETTLE 1t would DO to compel
all fishermen alike to pay license or by
repeating all the lawsand allowing every
one to fish without license
Several of the members thought that 1t
would be useless to appoint q commission
and the matter Swas laid over for aswcek
to give the members time to study tho
question.
The bill to establish a state board of ag-
rioulture has been mslaid by those who
had charge of 1t. Another bill was given
notice Of to day to take its place.

favor of the bill If 1t allows the L'gisla-
tule through them to name the men who
are to fill the Offices otherwise they are
against it, II the Rosscl charter docs not
stand any better chance Of passing tho
Senate than the Rivor and Harbor and
