Kautz's report, advices have been re-
ceived here from Apia by way of Ger
many proving that the American Ad-
miral and the Americans in general
have acted with marked consideration
and courtesy, toward the Germans in
Samoa. This attitude was all the more
gratifying to the Germans, as it was in
direct contrast to the policy pursued by
the British commander and Consul
there.
While the English raised difficulties in
the granting of passports to Germans

General pass, the Americans readily
granted passports to every respectable

Strong Protests Against Their Be-
ing Built of Wood.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Secretary
Long has received strong protests of
late against the building of wooden
docks at the League Island Nnd Mare
Island Navy Yards, and the projected
plans for the docks may be so arranged
as to permit Congress to consider the
advisability Of substituting stone for
wood
The naval authorities are strongly in
favor of stone docks, saying that the
time has gone by for wooden structures.
But, after a sharp controversy in Con-
gress, a compromise was arranged by
which two new docks are to be built of
stone-those at Boston and Portsmouth
and two of wood-those at League
Island and Mare Island Now the To-
calities getting wooden docks are exert
ing strong influence to have stone sub
stituted.
The naval authorities hold that they
must follow the law, yet in doing so it
may not be possible to commence the
timber work until Congress has an
other opportunity to consider the ques
ton, the excavations being made in the
meantime.

CURTIS & CO.'S MARKET,
2O8 * Street.

Mr. Monnett said the companies COM
pl Using the trust were so distributed as
to control all the operations pertaining
to production, transportation and deifv-
cry of oil in Ohio, even its own tele-
graph system.
Mr.. MOnnett complained of discrimi-
nation in telegraph and railroad rates
in favor of the Standard Company's
tank lines, saying that the latter was
equtI to 100 per cent. against the ordi-
nary citizen.
Mr. Monnett gave figures showing
that the capitalization of the twenty
companies comprising the trust
amounted in the aggregate to S102. 2333
0OO and the valuation $121 ,631 600 He
said the trust could make its dividends
wha it desired, as 1t controlled
completely the retail price of OIL
MI Monnett told of the distribution
of the stock of the trust, saying that
the trustees held 466,2S0 of the 100000
shares, and that John D. Rockefeller,
as Chairman of the trustees, held a
majority of the stock thus distributed,
giving him the balance of power, maxi
ing practically q one-nan power
Mr.. Monnett said the original value Of
the plant Of the trust was $97, 100000,
but this figure should now be multiplied
by five.
Mr. Monnett insisted that the way to
control trusts was to control the trans
portation companies, which he thought
the Courts could do, and if the Courts
could not do this, the charters of the
reads should be taken from them.
The Attorney General of New Jersey
could secure evidence of this discrimi-
nation within sixty days if he would
take it in hand, the witness said.
Speaking of the earnings of the oil
trust Mr. Monnett estimated that the
g1osa receipts were $120.000000 a year
on the Ohio product alone, and he said
that ali was profit over four cents a
gallon on re fined oil. He placed the value
Of the earnings of the company per

While am willing to give all proper

or to the United States soldiers in the
arrest of criminals, it must not be
supposed that the civil authorities of
