He was taken to the Emergency Hospital,
where he was soon put in condition to go
home.
A. servant in the employ of r. II. Merrill
of No. $40 18th street northwest stepped on
a match yesterday and set fire to a pair of

PROF. HAUPT'S INTERVIEW.
Must BE DfsavOwed Or He Must Leave
the Canal COmmission.

The President has taken notice of the
interview attributed to Prof. Lewis Haupt,
member of the isthmian canal commits
sion, and published in the newspapers YES
terday, to the effect that the whole project
of the commission was only a scheme to
delude people. Naturally, the public ex-
preston of such view, coming from a
person connected with the commission was
received with great surprise. and Prof.
Haupt either has been called upon for a
statement or will be Immediately. If he
denies the authenticity of the interview, as
it is expected he will do that will be re-
garded as sufficient. If he stands by the
statements made in the interview, then he
must leave the commission, for, in the
opinion of the administration, his remain
ing on the commission would destroy its
usefulness and make its report valueless.
The professor has already received his
commission, but this can be easily recalled
should it be decided to make a change.
The retirement of Prof. Haupt would
make uncertain the choice of routes to be
made by the commission, and would be a
distinct loss to the element favoring the
Nicaragua route.

norton of the missing funds alleged 10
have been taken by the assistant cashier
and of obtaining further security for some
of the outstanding debts, which must sun
be classed as doubtful. The losses or the

HIGH PRAISE FOR ENGINEERS.
Conduct Such as Would Be Expected
From Officers Only.

Lieut.. Col. Charles L. Potter. chief en-
gineer Of the army in the Philippines. made
a report on March 81 Of the operations Of
his corps. The report shows that the army
was supplied with engineering and in
trenching tools, SO that wherever It stop
ped 1t could be Immediately intrenched. On
some occasions the men of the corps be-
came actively engaged with the insurgents.
The engineers have been at work repairing
roads and bridges and building bridges
where necessary, and kept the army well
supplied with engineer supplies, maps and
other materials
The following is quoted from Capt.
Hams report to Col. Potter of the opera
lions of the company under his command:
The entire army was amply supplied
with engineering and init enching tools, SO
that wherever the line stopped 1t could be
Immediately intrenche1. These tools were
supplied from the depot of the chief en-
ginee-, where, under the direction of the
chief engineer, Sth Army Corps, men of
the company, with sufficient transporta-
ton, were in readiness to instantly supply
all demands. The possession of two spring
wagons and good ponies in this depot
greatly facilitated the quick delivery of the
lighter articles while the heavier articles.
such as bales Of sand bags, shovels and
picks, had to be hauled in bull carts.
ION February Is l took the company out
for reconnaissance III force, and became
attached to part of the LIST Brigade, list Di-
vision, making a demonstration against
Pateros, near Laguna de Bay. The COM
pany here developed a considerable force
of insurgents, and was under fire for about
an hour and half, our supports having
withdrawn without our knowledge.
The men behaved magnificently under
fire and terrible heat, five of them being
partially overcome by the hot sun. The
distance passed over this day was twenty
seven miles of rather difficult ground and
On very hot day. The nature of the
country was learaed, and the object of the
reconnaissance fully accomplished.
In this connection I wish specially to
mention Private John Varney. jr.. who vol
unteered to go out in open field to recover
a haversack belonging to another man of
the company, and which lad been dropped.
He was fired upon by about ten insurgents
from distance of about 200 yards, and
showed the greatest GOODNESS and courage
while under the heavy fire.
since hostilities began the company has
repaired all roads and bridges, built new
bridges where necessary also a new road
to center of list Division line keeping the
line supplied with all necessary engineer
| supplies, maps. etc.
THE conduct of the company while I'M
der my command has been most excellent,
and their information and intelligence of
such high order that discipline is main
tanned and all work performed, not for fear
or punishment for neglect, nor from hope
or reward, but from a high sense of duty
wei performed. such as one would expect
rather from officers than enlisted men,

They Are Being Held Every Other
Day in the MaItby Building.

Examinations for the positions Of stem
ographer and typewriter in the census
office are now being held every other day
In the examining room Of the census office,
located in the Maltby building. These ex-
aminations are supplemental to the general
examination, the passing of the latter be-
Ing condition precedent to the former.
Each applicant Is required to bring
typewriting machinee, and this morning
when reporter of The Star visited the ex-
animation the typewriters were playing a
merry tune. This examination is under the
direction of w. R. Mackrille, finished
stenographer and typewriter, and man of
considerable experience in his line. The
examination opens with q short exercise in
shorthand dictation. The examiner first
learns the speed claimed by the applicant
and then proceeds to dictate at that rate
Few OF those who apply make any claim
as to speed, excusing themselves with the
statement that they have been out of
practice some time. They are tried at diff
ferent speeds and marked accordingly
The rate attained must be not less than
eighty words a minute a perfect mark be-
ing speed Of $50 words The matter die
tated Is usually speech; the one this
morning being discourse on expansion.
After this exercise the applicant is given
letter in the ordinary speed. Then comes
the exercise in typewriting. First the oper-
ators are given some tabulating to test
their knowledge of the machine. Then a
letter Is dictated, the examiner requiring a
speed of not less than forty words to the
minute perfect mark in dictation means
eighty words a minute. Then comes tram
scribing from rough draft, the applicant
being required to correct all mistakes of
spelling and punctuation. The examination
closes with an exercise in straight copying
four have failed to attain the required per-
centage.

HALF THE OUTPUT.
This Country Produces $500, 900. 900
Gallons of Petroleum Annually.

Gallons of Petroleum Annually.
Over five billion gallons Of petroleum are
now produced annually in the world. OF
this amount two and one-half billions are
produced in the United States, two and one
fourth billions in Russia, and the remainder
is distributed among dozen countries,
Austria producing S7,OO0,OO0; Sumatra, r.
100000; Java, 100000; Canada, 29,O00,OOO;
Roun2ania, A,OOO,O00; India, 15,OOO.OUO;
Japan, S,OO0,00O; Germany, 100000; Peru
100000, and Italy about 100000 gallons.
While the United States and Russia fur
nish the bulk of the worlds petroleum and
stand almost abreast in the quantity of
crude oil produced, the amount Of refined
Illuminating oil supplied by the United
States by far exceeds that furnished by
Russia. A table just prepared by the
treasury bureau of statistics shows the
quantity of mineral oil produced by the
various countries in 1897, the latest avail
able year, also the quantity produced in
the United States and Russia in each year
since 1883. This statement shows that
while the quantity of crude Oil produced in
the two great oil producing countries of
the world. the United States and Russia,
is nearly equal, the quantity of refined IL
Eliminating oil produced by the United
States is more than double that produced
by Russia. This is due to the fact that a
given quantity Of United States oil pro-
duces three-fourths of its bulk in refined
illuminating oil, while the same quantity
of Russian oil produces but about three
eighths of its bulk in refined illuminating
oil. Sumatra, next to Russia, is the most
formidable competitor of the United States
because of the rapid growth in its pro-
duction OF Oil, the fact that its crude oils
produce half their quantity in refined illu-
minating oil, and the further fact that
they are much nearer to the orient, the
countries of which form an important part
of the worlds markets for this class OF
expectations. Up to the present time, how
ever, the quantity of Oil produced in Su-
matra is small compared with that of the
United States or Russia. Its figures for
1897 being but 72,25S.00O gallons, against
2,543 0OO,O 900 for the United States.
The United Kingdom is the largest con-
sumner of mineral oils exported by the
United States, our total export to that
country in the last fiscal year being H.
265. 563 gallons against 155, 2O3,222 to Ger
many, SO, 39S us to Japan, A,5G},552 to
China 2056l ,OS4 to Brazil. ~, 49o,5!S to
British Australasia, 12,S35,631 to France,
and 2G0 All ,316 gallons to other European
countries The total expectation OF re-
fined Illuminating oil from the United
States in the fiscal year 1893 was 9Oo,S9s :
S75 gallons while Russia's expectation OF
refined mineral oils amounted to less than
this quantity.

AN OILY HABIT.

There are people who become unconsciously ad-
dicted to the butter habit that is say they like
butter and gradually eat little more as the
months go by. until they find they have consumed,
each meal quite quantity of fat. that they have
not vitality enough to properly digest.
This indigested substance causes more or less
catarrh Of the stomach and trouble with the
bowels.
The remedy, Of eourse, is to largely cut down
the allowance Of butter. and for two or three
nights sup nearly quart of very hot water lust
before going to bed. This washes out the stomach
and bowels and gives them renewed vitality. Then
the person should for few mornings at least
rely good, rich cream, with Grape-Nuts. for
breakfast, letting out the butter altogether. The
cream gives all the fat needed.
Grape-Nuts and cream furnish an ideal portion Of
any breakfast

Largest Regiment In world.

San Francisco, July 26.-The trans
port Tartar will sail for the Philippines
at O'Clock this morning. She WAS
to have sailed yesterday, but was de.
layed by the late arrival OF the Nine.
teenth infantry. The First and Third
battalions of the Nineteenth are booked
for the Tartar, and they left Camp
Meade last Monday in four trains.
The frat section. containing companies
q and ID, met with an accident near
Suisun yesterday, which caused de-
lay of several hours. though no one was
injured.
The Nineteenth regiment is the larg-
est in the United States. if not in the
world, having 1900 men. 1t is the
first regiment to be completely re-
cruited under the new organizations of
1928 men to company. General Jo-
seph Wheeler and his daughter will be
passengers on the Tartar. Besides the
regulars lis recruits will go on the
transport.
The Newport and Ohio are scheduled
to sail tomorrow morning, but it is
doubtful if either will get away. All
depends on the arrival Of the Second
battalion of the Nineteenth regiment.
Besides the latter there will be divided
between the two steamers about 900
recruits.
