THE WEEK IN PETROLEUM.

No change was reported In the market for re-
fined petroleum last week. The market has ruled
fairly active and prices remain unchanged both
here and abroad. Field work continued fairly
active but this work is liable to be less active in
the near future. owing to the advance In the price
of wrought-iron pipe. 1t is not improbable that
considerable amount OF work that has already been
cut ont for the summer will be abandoned indei-
nitely The price OF pipe has about doubled within
the last year and this Increase is not at all reshed
by operators Last week casing advanced 10
per cent tubing and drive pipe ~ per cent and
line pipe % per cent; all Of which went into ef-
feet on Thursday. The results OF this advance In
prices OF material IS already showing Itself. for n
number OF large companies are reported 10 have
cancelled orders filed before the advance took place
In addition to this. "A number of operators are pull
ing the material OF wells that are not of much
Importance, and II is predicted that fair proper
ton OF the new work will he done with old ma
teral.
Last month the pipeline movement showed an In
crease in total receipts OF i41 5i2 barrels over APRIL

Excess receipts decreased 53s'l barrels. The daily

STILL WITHOUT RESULT.
No Change in the Alaskan Boundary
Situation.

There is nothing new in the Alaskan
boundary controversy. This statement does
not mean that negotiations have been
broken off again, but simply that they have
not advanced to a point where substantial
progress can be recorded Mr.. Tower, the
British charge, having gone to Newport,
communication is not so easy between him
self and Secretary Hay as has been the
case.
Then, every proposition, no matter how
slightly differing from that preceding it,
has to be referred to the British foreign Of
flee. Heretofore that office in turn has re-
ferred the United States propositions to
Canada, but II Is not known whether that
is now the state of the case, some doubt
being cast upon it by Sir NVilfrid Laurier' S
recent declaration that he knew nothing of
the proposition TO lease Canada port on
the Lynn canal. 1t may be, though, that
the minister's expression was rather III the
nature of technical denial of his knowI-
edge.
Inquiries at the War Department for in
formation respecting an alleged purpose of
the United States government to rush a
garrison of troops into Pyramid Harbor to
forestall a possible Canadian coup were
met with reference to the Department of
State, it being pointed out that under no
circumstances would the War Department
move in a matter involving such delicate
diplomatic phases as this, except upon ex-
press request of the State Department, and
inquiry at the State Department failed TO
discover any such request. Up to this point
the two governments have acted with ad-
mrable prudence through their agents in
the disputed territory in refraining from
taking any action that might precipitate a
collision, and it is believed that the
State Department is determined that it will
not be the first to break away from this
policy.
There are no troops sufficient in number
to serve garrison anywhere in the
neighbOrhood of Pyramid Harbor. The few
stationed at Dyea and Skaguay are needed
there, and the same is true of the garrisons
at St. Michael and on the Yukon. So that
if troops are wanted, they must be sent
from San Francisco.

THOUGHT ALL WOULD RETIRE.
An Entire Change of officials a,
Apfa Was Expected.

The State Department has not yet been
officially advised of the arrival in this
country Of Chief Justice Chambers of
Samoa, and in fact. it does not yet know
that he has taken leave of absence as re-
ported. Respecting the officials statement
that he might not return to Apia as chief
justice, it may be said that there was an
expectation here when the Samoan COM
mission started out that Mr.. Chambers
would relinquish his place in conformity
with the tacitly arranged plan to make a
clean sweep of all the officials at Apia Of
all nationalities who had in any way been
involved in the troubles there. The British
consul Mr.. Maxse; the German consul,
Herr Rose, and the chief justice, the presi-
dent of the municipal council, have all
gone. and there now remains only Mr.
Luther Osborn, the American consul. For
some reason, he is much more acceptable
to the Germans than any of the other per-
sons named, and it may be that he will be
the sole survivor of the official sweep,
The State Department has no official ad-
vices whatever from Apia respecting the
dtsquieting events recorded in the press
dispatches.

MESSENGER BOYS OUT AGAIN.
Entire Force Employed by Western
Union in Philadelphia on Strike.

PHILADELPHIA, July 29.-The Western
Union messenger boys today went on strike
for the second time this week, and from
all indications will remain out until the
company accedes 10 their demands for
higher wages or the boys places are filled
by others. The former strike occurred on
Thursday, when about 200 stopped work.
They wanted three cents instead of two on
all messages, payment for undelivered
messages and sixty cents for night work
instead of fifty.
Having made no formal demands at that
time Superintendent Gill induced them to
return that same day and present their
grievances. This they did, but toward mid
night they evidently grew impatient and
about twenty-five stopped work. While de-
Evering messages at the newspaper offices
some of the boys learned that an advertise
ment had been inserted in the papers for
200 boys. Under those circumstances the
strike was at once declared on again To-
day all the boys in the main Office went out
and liRemen and clerks were pressed into
service. By noon the boys mounted on BIZ
cycles had visited all the branch Offices and
as many, If not more, than on Thursday
lave Joined the strikers. The company is
delivering messages with little delay.

CASUALTIES IN PHILIPPINE WAR.
Seattle Times Prints What Purports
to lie Official List.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 29-The Times
prints what purports to be a full list Of
fatalities In the American army in the
Philippines up to June .. The list was
furnished by Fred F. EiteIl, a representa-
tive of the Manila Freedom, who claims to
have obtained it from the records of the
surgeon generals office at Manila.
The total number of fatalities is 1868
officers, $50 privates and IA civilians at
tached to the army. A remarkable feature
of the record is found in the statement
that the number of officers killed in battle
is out of all proportion to the number Of
priVates killed. On the other hand, fewer
officers died from disease proportionately
than priVates. Out of the p officers dead

The Alleged Interview With Dewey
Regarding Germany.
F0DAY'S TOPIC IN NAVAL CIRCLES
State Department Officials RidicuIe
the Story.
CALL FROM MR.. Won MUMM

Some excitement was caused in naval cir
eles today by the appearance of a published
interview with Admiral Dewey at Trieste,
containing the prediction that our next war
would be with Germany, and also another
rather severe reflection upon German FOL
icy. The admiral's friends here, one and
all, without hesitation promptly expressed
their disbelief in the statements attributed
to the admiral.
Secretary Long said positively of the in
terview: Il do not believe it,
Captain D1ck1ES, acting chief of the naV1-
cation bureau, was equally pronounced in
mis- expression of disbelief.
The officials of the State Department.
from the Secretary down, characterized the
story as absurd pointing to the unbroken
record of discreet utterances by Dewey, and
the admirable diplomacy heretofore exhib-
tied by him in touching upon any interna-
tional topic as evidence of the improbability
of his committing such an indiscretion now
as that attributed to him.
1t is said at the Navy Department that
with the arrival of the Olympia in Eu-
ropean waters, where she is within reach of
the representatives of all shades of newspa-
perS, reports OF more or less sensational
character may be frequently expected as to
the movements, motives and language of
the personnel of the famous ship.
The German minister, Mr.. Won Mumm,
called at the State Department in the fore
noon and had d conference with Secretary
Hay. 1t was inferred that the subjects of
the Dewey interview and Samoa matters
being prominent at the moment, some ref
erence, at least informally, may have been
made to them.
Respecting Samoa neither the State De-
partment nor the German embassy have
any late advices, that each side was in
the attitude of looking to the other for
news of the events reported in the press
dispatches. AS to the Dewey interview, it
could not be learned whether or not it was
even mentioned, for the inexorable law of
Secretary Hay is to refuse to make any
statement whatever respecting what passes
between himself and representative of a
foreign nation.

SENT POISON TO HERSELF.
Sensational Development in Miss
CampbeIrs Case i'm San Francisco.

Campbelfs Cuse in San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-The mystery
of the sending of basket of poisoned fruit
to Miss Florence Campbell of 61o Ellis street
has been solved by Chief of Police Lees,
and the result shows that there was no
attempt made to take life, and that no
one was even made ill by the poisoned
fruit. 1t appears that Miss Campbell sent
the poison to herself in furtherance of a
little plot by which she hoped to keep her
name from figuring as correspondent in a
divorce suit
According to the confession which has
been made by Miss Campbell the basket
of fruit was sent on June % to 610 Ellis
street. 1t was claimed at first that Miss
Campbell and Mrs. Elsie Scheib had been
made i'll by eating the fruit. The police
learned of the case and an investigation
was made by Chief Lees, who after hear
ing Miss Campbelrs story identified her
as recent purchaser of arsenic and con-
nected her with the basket and the pur-
chase of the candied fruit Confronted with
the discoveries, Miss Campbell confessed
her plot. The results of the investigation
were laid before the district attorney, who
stated that the California law did not
cover the case. There will, consequently
be no prosecution, and there will be no po-
lice interference with Miss Campbell's an
nounced plan of returning to her old home
in West Virginia

will be the largest number OF murderers
executed in any one week I'm the last five
years. Two Of them will be executed in
the death chamber at Auburn prison and
two in the death chamber at Sing Sing

The fact that the state employs but one
state electrician for executions nrecludcs
the wardens of the two prisons from fol-
lowing out the usual plan of having the
executions early on the first week day set
by the court. Warden johnson of Sing
Sing will avail himself first of the services
of the executioner, and the two men in his
charge will be killed by electricity some
time during Monday, July 81.

mails in his prison Wednesday, August
Warden Mead VIII have as a witness at
his executions the warden of the state
prison at Charleston, Mass, that state
having just adopted the electric execution
law, and the warden being anxious TO see
how the executions are conducted.
Records of the Crimes.

executed as taken from the records of the
superintendent of prisons here, are as fol-
lows:

from whom he lived apart. Insanity was
the defense.

with handkerchief Kate Smith, a white
woman with whom he lived, and of whom
he was insanely jealous. The tragedy oc-
CURED at No. 327 West seth street, New
