OPPOSED TO CONCESSIONS.
Aiaskans Want the United States to
Retain Control of It's Territory.

Senator Foster Of Washington had an in
terview with Acting Secretary Adee of the
State Department yesterday. He discussed
the Alaskan boundary question, a subject
in which the constituents of Senator Fos-
ter are much interested. The senator
brought with him book, written back in
the forties. about the northwestern coasts
and the different possessions there. 1t con-
tanned a map made at that time, In which
the boundary is clearly defined as follow
ing the indentations of the coast. The sem
ator says that this map could have only
been made from British and Russian sur
veys, as there were no other Investigations
of that coast made by other nations at that
time.
The senator represented to Mr.. Adee that
the people of the west coast, and espec ally
those residing in southern Alaska, were
much interested in having the United
States retain control of the territory it has
possessed, and expressed the hope that no
concessions would be made interfering with
American rights.

Trusts Declared to BE Necessary.

The witness concluded with a direct
statement in support of the Standard COM
pany. He took the position in this state
ment that trusts ARE the necessary, in
deed the irresistible result of our rapidly
growing commerce. In adopting them we
are but following the example of that
greatest of all commercial nations, Eng
land. under whose commercial charters
capitalization and scope are practically I'M
limited. Any legislative restrictions i'm
posed here would operate alone to the ben
eft of foreign commercial competitors.
The claim that such restrictions would help
the weak and in competent or our own
country as against the strong and agrees
sive is too puerile to call for serious an
swer."
Reviewing the Standards career. he
said:
Career of the Standard.
1.-THE early years of the petroleum in
dustry We're marked by chaotic and crude
condition in all branches of the trade,
namely, the production, manufacture,
transportation and marketing, and the
average quality of the refined products was
inferior and unsatisfactory. The advent of
the Standard Oil Company aggregation
changed this entirely. 1t brought to the
business ample capital, and combined into
effective working shape the best possible
talent in all branches of the business. 1t
improved quality and greatly reduced costs.
refineries with the newest and most pro-
gressive methods and most perfectly equip
ped and favorably located refineries. 1t has
been ever on the alert to engage the best
obtainable practical and technical talent
for the development and improvement of
the business in all it's branches. 1t inau-
gurated new systems of transportation,
which not only gave to the producer the
most efficient possible service at greatly re-
duced COST but a daily continuing cash
market for his product, on basis Of the
best price obtainable in the worlds mar
kets.
Further, it reached out and occupied the
markets of the world for American petro-
leum. Individual effort could not have &C
complished any such herculean task in
many times the same period, and indeed,
were none too quickly made. If there had
began as prompt and energetic action on
the part of the Russian oil industry as was
taken by the Standard Oil Company the
Russians would have dominated many Of
the worlds markets which have been made
to insure so largely to the benefit Of the
American oil industry
Standard oil combines had been of vast
benefit to the world at large, and said,
speaking generally: 1.-The outcry against
corporations does not come from the great
busy Industrial classes, but from imprac-
teal sentimentalists, yellow journals and
political demagogues, from the latter, per-
haps, more than from any other. 1t is
To listen to their voice to the extent Of
imposing restrictive legislation would mean
a frightful step backward In the CONNER
cial development of our country"
He suggested national corporations as the
only legislation necessary.

tempt to Bribe Monett.


Mr. Archbod said that the allega-
ton about the Standard Oil Company at
tempting to bride District Attorney Monet
of Ohio was absolutely false, and that the
case is now before the courts of Ohio. In
reply to the statement that there is almost
no competition in the oil trade in Ohio,
Mr. Archbold submitted a list of corpo-
rations, firms and individuals in the oil
business in Ohio. This list, he said con-
tanned the names of 159 corporations, 2oS
partnerships and 1,24O individuals, who are
in the oil business in Ohio. This, he said,
was merely a partial list of such corpora
tons, firms and individuals. There are
also, he said five oil refneries in Ohio.
The witness referred to the testimony of
other witnesses that had appeared before
the commission and analysed their state
ments and fatty contradicted many of their
assertions. His testimony showed the most
thorough investigation and preparation TO
come before the commission
Mr. Archbold said he wished to make his
statement regarding Chairman Phillips
clear He said he did not wish to say that
he and others had approached the Stand
ard company with proposition to sell out,
but to combine in a division of territory.

The Rice Case.

He asserted that in the Rice case Rice
had tried to induce him to buy his plant
at Marietta, Ohio, for 100000 when 1t was
not worth $4,000, and had agreed to see
that prosecution in certain cases was stop
ped in case the deal should be made, claim
ing he had sufficient influence to accom-
plish this result. He expressed the opinion
that Rice was employed an agitator by
the enemies of the Standard company.
Mr. Rice was present in the court room
and, it is understood, will reply later.
During his testimony Mr.. Archbold re-
ferred frequently to the growth of the oil
business in foreign countries. In Russia
this growth was especially formidable, the
product being 100000 barrels per. day. He
said the Standard company had no interest
in any foreign production.

Among the criticisms of the Standard
Company which he contradicted was one
by Mr.. Lee, referring to testimony given
some years ago by Mr.. Cassatt, now presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, concerning rebates to the Standard
Oil Company. Mr.. Lee had said that Mr..
Cassatt had testified that the refund
amounted to $1O,000,000 in the years 1859.
This statement, Mr. Archbold said, had been
generally banded about. but he declared
that it was without foundation, characterize
ing it as "a lusty old lie having it's origin
in the deductions of one man. He also de-
MED that an arrangement was in existence
for the sale of lubricatng oil to the Off
GERS of the railroad companies to the ad-
vantage of the officers thereof, and ne
challenged Mr.. Lee to produce scintilla
of evidence showing such state of affairs
In reply to Mr.. Lockwood Mr.. Archbold
dealt at length with the Matthews and
Rice cases, which Mr.. Lockwood had in
stanced to show, as he claimed. that the
Standard company controlled the courts.
Mr. Archbold claimed. in effect, that these
suits had been brought to compel purchase.
