TME OIL TRuAT.
Important Testimony Before tho TnS
dnstrial Commission.

Washington, September Estate
Senator Lewis Emery, Jr., Of Pennsyl-
vania, was before the industrial COM
mission Monday. He spoke in oppo-
sition to the Standard Oil Company.
He claimed that the railroads were re-
sponslble for the great growth of the
Standard Oh Company, and said that
the contract made between the South
Improvement Company and the rail
roads in 1872 was practically in eff
feet today. Under this arrangement
there has been determinations on the
part of the roads in favor of the
Standard Company up to the present
day.
Mr., Emery cited case tried in 1890
in which determinations by the Penn
sylvania road were charged in favor
of the Standard Oil Company. He said
that, while President Roberts and the
general freight agent of the railroad
company had both denied that rebates
were given, the auditor and some Of
the bookkeepers had sworn dscrim-
nations were given amounting to
from TO 80 cents barrel. He was,
however, 80 harrassed after three
years. effort, that he compromised his
claim of 100000 for $4,000. lie also
said he knew of instances in which
rebates had been paid as late as 1893,
and that complaint had been made TO
the interstate commerce commission,
which had rendered its decision
against the railroads for $4,000. Mr..
Emery claimed to have been twice
driven to the wall by the combination
Of the railroads and the Standard
company against him.
He claimed that the Standard Oil
Company had inherited all the privi-
leges of the old South improvement
Company, and read the contract be-
tween that company and me railroad
organizations to prove that it provid-
ed explicitly for rebates. He also read
q letter addressed by the receivers OF
the Baltimore d Ohio railroad to the
interstate commerce commission ad-
uniting, Mr.. Emery claimed, that re"
bates had been given up to January,
1899. Mr.. Emery gave detailed his
tory of his efforts to secure footing
for the product Of the independent
companies in Germany. In this con-
nection Mr.. Emery eulogizen the Ger
man government as a model.
at is" he said, zone Of the best
governments on the face of the earth.
1t protects all the citizens. You get
the RIGHT hand of fellowahin there
but you don't get 1t here"
He had gotten the relief which he
had sought in Germany, while he had
been praying for relief in Ie United
States since 1872. There was no dis.
elimination on either the railroads or
the canals in that country.
Mr.. Emery said that, in connection
with his work in Europe, he had CO.
operated with Russian oil producers.

consulting with the prime minister
Of that country. Referring to the Rus
sian oil, Mr.. Emery said It was not
SO good as the American product, but,
being sold at lower price, il was
still competitor where sold,
The witness contended that the
Standard company does reduce prices
for the purpose of driving ont COM
petitors, and said he could bring a
stack of proofs to show that this was
the custom to the present duv, lie
also charged the Standard company
with eXerting the utmost efforts 70
prevent legislation and to prevent the
making Of appropriations to carry
such laws into effect when made.

Washington, D. c., September Ia
1t Is believed that when congress as
sembles there will be considerable ag-
itation of proposition for this gov
eminent to abandon its participation
In the Paris exposition. 1t is known
that expressions hostile to the expo
sition quoted from Senator Stewart
are very widely sympathized in, and
It is thought that il the conviction of
Dreyfus is permitted to stand there
will be very little friendly feeling for
France among members of either
house or senate.
Such move, however, would be a
grave one. 1t is pointed out that to
withdraw from participation in the
exposition would be regarded as an Of
dchal insult to France. No further
legislation on the part Of congress is
needed to carry ont the plan of this
country for the exposition. About
@l,900.000 has been appropriated for
the expenses of the commission and
the government exhibit. Ihe commits
sion has been appointed and the space
desired for exhibit from this country
has been secured.

Paris, September l1---Except for
slight disturbances Monday Paris has
remained unexpectedly quiet, but this
condition Of affairs Is not likely to con-
tinue. The long, heavy rain Monday,
combined with the fact that the lead
ers Of the opposing parties were all
at Rennes, prevented any organized
demonstration. Then, too, the general
public were delighted with the verdict
as confirming the Chose Jugee. Now,
however, they IRE beginning to see
the want Of logic in conceding "eX-
tenunting circumstances" to con-
Victed traitor, concession which eX-
cites doubt as to the strength of the
case against Dreyfus. Moreover, pub
lie opinion Is being sobered by read
ing the comments of the world at
large and by the prospect, however
remote, that the exhibition will be
boycotted, which would mean a loss
OF millions to the country.
There is little doubt that the trial
of the Derouledists next Monday, at
which ii is asserted sensational evil
dence will be developed, and the re-
opening of the chamber of deputies
will be signals for fresh troubles. At
present both parties are taking
breath, but the latest luminosity Is still
undiminished,
1t is estimated that the last years
proceedings have cost the Dreyfus
party ut least 1,500,00O francs. They
do not intend to let matters rest, and
rumors are revived of the impending
arrest of General MERCER. He declares
that he does not care what happens,
being quite satisfied that he has done
his duty. II is understood also that
PrGN'lent Loubet opposes such an eX-
Or" course as prosecuting MERCER or
the other generals. He is rather in
clined to concillatory policy extend
ing even to pardon for Dreyfus.
M. Demange has been blamed for
conceding so many points in his
speech, but it appears that he did so
In the hope OF winning another
waverer among the judges who, how
ever, finally Joined the majority on
condition that the verdict would be
accompanied with the proviso as to
extenuating circumstances.

Military Arranges to Abandon indie

plete Shift.

Independence park will at once be
abandoned by the United States States
military department.. 1t is there That
che big hospital, established last Au-
gust, mas been located. The patients
remaining in the wards, about twenty
in number, will be moved to the new
hospital at Buena Vista in Nuuanu
valley.
In all probability the change can be
effected next week. Only two things
delay it. First, some extensions and
improvements at Buena Vista are not
quite ready, and second, few of the
patients at independence park are not
yet quite strong enough to be moved.
Major Wood, his staff and the medi-
cal department of Hawaii will move
also to Buena Vista.
In future only Buena Vista and the
camp on the slope of Punchbowl will
be maintained. The former will be
the main hospital for local military
patients and transients. The latter
will be used as formerly for GONZALES
cents. 1t has proven very serviceable
indeed in this way in the past three
months.
There remain about 200 sick soldiers
here. The largest batch is at the
Punchbowl camp. Most of them will
be gotten off on the Mariposa today,
and the remainder will go as soon as
they are able to travel.
Independence park was selected by
General Wesley Merritt last summer
as "A hospital site. 1t is an ideal spot
in many particulars. There has been

men of the army that it would be
rather damp during the rainy season

THROWN FROM HIS HORSE
AND BADLY INJURED
WILLIAM G. COWAN'S SKULL
FRACTURED BY A FALL.
Surgeons Fear He May Die-He Is
Believed to Be Well Connected
in the East.

William G.. Cowan, who is believed to
be a member of prominent Boston fam
lily, was thrown from a horse and per-
haps fatally injured last evening on Mis-
sion street, between Fourth and Fifth.
Cowan had evidently been horseback rid
ing all afternoon and as he was cantering
along Mission street his steed became
frightened by an approaching car and he
was thrown forcibly to the pavement.
The unfortunate rider landed on the
back of his head, sustaining a severe frac-
ture of the skull. Cowan was picked up
In an unconscious condition and removed
to the Receiving Hospital, where Drs.
Dray and Starr removed a button of
bone from the injured mans skull
After Cowan had been removed from
the operating room he developed symp-
toms favorable for his recovery, but the
surgeons say his chances of life are eX-
ceedfngly small. Judging from private
papers and letters found on the injured
mans person 1t is evident that Cowan is
well connected in the East
In his pocket was found an honorabl
discharge from the United States army,
showing that Cowan served as sergeant
In Troop A of the Second Cavalry during
the late war. 1t was dated Jacksonville,
Fla, and was issued on October a. 1898.
Several personal letters postmarked
Brattleboro, Vt, and addressed to
Cowan at Denver and Leadville, Colo.
were also among his possessions, together
with an announcement from ATTORNEY
Charles G. Bull. so Broadway New York.
to the effect that the latter had forwarded
Cowan telegraphfc money order for
$500.
When Cowan was injured he was
dressed in gray tweed riding suit with
leggings.
