Trouble with the LRborers in Two
of the Wards.

Trouble with the Laborers in Two
of the Wards.
Galveston. Texas. September 22.-The
general relief committee held its regular
meeting this morning and received the re-
wards. The reports all showed a large de-
crease in the amount of provisions sug-
Piled and a gradual betterment in the
conditions.
In the First ward there had been trouble
with the men this morning on account OF
the fact that they were dissatisfied wi h
the action of the central committee in
giving the contract for the removal of the
debris The nature OF the contract was
not thoroughly understood and they We g
under the impression that the Arm Of
r cker G. Lee were to make more monty
out of the work than they thought was
right; they therefore refused TO go to
work this morning, and the ward charms n
had been unable to persuade them to do
so. General Chairman McNtie stated that
he would take the matter up with III.
central committee and he himself ca
/ planned that the contract had not been Il {
as contract to do the work for SO much
money but that the firm was simply t.
superintend the work under the suDcom-
mittee and that the pay for the men woild
come out Of the general relief fund. The
nature OF the contract he thought should
be published If 1t had not been published
already
The workingmen were to be paid. begin

would also be fed by this firm after to-
morrow.
A motion was then made by Mr.. G. ~
ousley that, beginning Tuesday morning,
no families should be provided for by tao
rel ef committee who had an able-bodied
man at work or who was able to get worA.
This motion was carried.
No more orders for clothing were to be
issued except TO such laborers as had not
already been supplied.
Chairman Rose OF the Seventh ward re-
ported that he had been given check 10
$500 by Colonel l.. j. Polk to be used IL
clothing the workingmen in his ward. He
also reported that he had number o.
trunks awaiting Identification at Thirty.

From the New York SUM
The latest American to vouch for the
Prince Of Wales is Miss Edna May, who
was quoted several days ago as saying: Il
met a great many OF the nobility, among
them the Prince OF Wales. who is a very
affable person with good manners" The
manners Of no Englishman are more crit
ically inspected by Americans who 20 to
London than those Of the prince. Miss
Mays immediate predecessor in assuring
the American public that the Princes man
ners were those OF a perfect gentleman"
was Mr. Tod Sloan. who had & chance to
inspect him on the racetrack. Mr. Sloan
said very deliberately and for publication
shortly after he landed in New York that
the prince was a gentleman and a good
fellow" Mr. Sloan was further quoted as
saying that the prince was natural and
easy in his manners" though this might
have been assumed from Mr. Sloan's pre-
vious statement about him. Seven or eight
years ago young man, whose fame rested
on his ability TO twang q banjo. went to
London to interest English people in his
music, and he played for the Prince OF
Wales He was also quoted by the papers
on his return as asserting that the Prince

DR.. William E. Whitson, resident ply
stefan at the Emergency Hospital. will re-
tire Thursday, after lengthy and eff
eient service. His successor will probably
be DR.. Charles G. Smith, at present ju-
Nor assistant to DR.. Whitson. II had been
expected that DR.. W. c. Williams, senior
assistant at the hospital, would be made
resident physician, but his resignation,
rendered last week, precludes that posi-
bility. Dr. Williams resigned TO accept
the position Of surgeon with the Isthmian
Canal survey. He expects to leave sun
day or Monday for Central America.
In the event that DR.. Smith is made
resident physician it is thought that Dr.
Ferdinand Walsh, who recently did sub

senior assistant A competitive examina-
tion for the position of junior assistant
will be held at the hospital in few days.

STANDARD OIL PROFITS.
The Enormous Div idends Annually
Declared by the Trust.

Standard Oil Company dividends have
varied between . IL Per cent per annum
in 1882 and 35 per cent in 1897.
This is brought out in a statement made
by S. c. T. Dodd. solicitor Of the STANDARD
Oil Company, in reply TO enquiries l,re-
pared by Prof. jerks. trust expert Of the
Industrial Commission.
Mr.. Dodd says the quarterly dividends
Of the company aggregated IA per cent
in 1852; per cen; in 1888 and 1884. 10 IL
per cent in 1885, Il per cent in 1856 and
1887. IL - per cent in 1855. L per cent
in 1889. 1890, and 1891, 1921 per cent in
1892. u per cent in 1895 and 1884. Il Per
cent in 1895. q per cent in 1886, 80 per
cent in 1897. and 80 per cent in 1898. and
that a stock dividend Of 20 per cent was
made in May, 1887.
In reply to a general question as TO the
work of the organization and its effects.
Mr.. Dodd reviews the history OF the Stand
ard combination, and summarizes the re-
suits accomplished by cheapenfng trans
portation by pipe lines and tank cars. by
purchasing terminal facilities. acquiring
steamers and other vessels and by en-
ploying in foreign countries the same spe-
cial methods Of storing and transporting
oil in bulk, by which the markets Of Eu-
rope are held for American oil against
Russian competition.
Mr.. DOdd says the manufacture of oil
has been much eheapened and improved
by uniting the capital. skill and acts. and
the processes and patents of several per-
sons, by building up improved manufaeto-
ries on more extensive and perfect scale
in the centres Of trade and by improved
business methods generally. Mr. Dodd
makes this statement IN support of the
methods OF the Standard oil Company:
They have obtained and utilized the
best scientific skill in investigating and
experimenting upon the obtaining CT new
and useful products from petroleum, and
have cheapened Illuminating oil and 9TH
erWise benefited mankind by the utiliza-
ton of these bi-produets.
"They have used their united capital
in opening up the markets OF the world
for American petroleum. and have held
those markets against the aereest foreign
competition. This was rendered possible
only by the employment of millions OF
capital in the eheaping of transportation
at home. across the ocean and in foreign
lands. and by the best and cheapest meth
DDS OF manufacture.
