THE BY.PRODUCTS OF OIL
RESULTS OF DISCOVERIES IN THE
PETROLEUM INDUSTRY.
Remarkable Number of Things Made
from Residue of the OiI-PrO-
cesses of the Work.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
Among the manufacturing industries in
the neighborhood of New York few are
larger than those connected with the prep
aration of petroleum for the market. Like
thousands Of other enterprises, the oil in
dnsrry owes no small part of it's present
development to the little savings which
progressive ingenuity has devised. The
story OF the discovery and application of
numerous by-products of kerosene Is typi-
cal of the advance and enrichment which
modern methods and chemistry have con-
tributed in many and varied fields
When the discovery of petroleum in
quantity first permitted the use of the
mineral on large scale, it was manufac-
tured only for the illuminating oil which
it contained. OF the Pennsylvania crude
oil, this constituted 30 TO 81 per cent, or
even more; by one process, as much as 20
per cent. in Illuminating oil was obtained
The remainder was all. or practically ALL
waste. Gas was produced in the earlier
stages of the dstillation, but whatever in
lammable vapors the crude gave off before

manipulation Of petroleum was thus. the
manufacture of kerosene; it was like the
separation OF lead only from an ore which
also contained paying quantities of copper,
silver, and gold.

they were mixed. OF fluids more volatile

CHEMISTRY'S PART.
Little time passed before kerosene ceased
to be the only material for which crude oil
was treated by water, acid, alkali, and fire.
The chemistry of the substance was fairly
we'll known before the discovery OF the
great Pennsylvania fields in 1861. A sub
stance very much like petroleum had been
distilled in the late forties from the btu
minous camel found in parts OF Scotland
From the heavy fluid obtained by heating
this shale to about 500 degrees Fahrenheit
and condensing the vapors resulting, the
Scotch manufacturers were making an IL

ly forty years the competition has proceed

proof that the British coal oil, despite
economies OF manufacture and ingenuities

Scotland, partly in America, there has

in the whole history of manufacturing

The products other than kerosene finally
derived from petroleum show wide diver

and the uses to which they can be put
Some of them are volatile that at or
binary temperatures they take the gaseous
form; others cannot be separated from the
mother liquor short of a red heat. Certain

however, are fluids, though here again
there is a wide range of difference in point

may be grouped products obtained be-

ROOTS PHILIPPINE PLANS.
Judge Taft Will Be Governor General Of
the Islands and His Associates
the Cabinet.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Secretary
Root has completed preparations for
establishing civil government in the
Philippines as soon as the necessary
legislation is enacted by congress.
The plan that will probably be adopted
Is to keep the commission intact, but
to make Judge Taft the governor
general and his associates members
of his cabinet. It is possible that ma
tives may be admitted to membership
In the cabinet. Maj. Gen. Macarthur
will be relieved in the spring by Maj.
Gen. Chaffee. The latter's functions
will be purely military. His troops
will be at the disposal of Judge Taft
for the suppression of disorders, just
as the troops of state are available
for the maintenance of the peace at
the call of it's governor. It is stated
that as nearly as possible the new
government will be much like that
which the territory of Arizona has to-
day. Military officers will be relieved
Of civil duty of whatever character,
and Americans and natives will be em-
ployed to attend to all civil matters.

INVASION A FAILURE.
The Raid Into Cape Colony by Beers Disas-

vergtng on Gen. Dewet.

London, Feb. 26.-Dispatches issued
by the war Office must put an enl to
the rumors that Dewet and Botha
have already surrendered. They, how
ever, show that both Boer command
ants have been badly mauled, and
that the invasion of Cape Colony has
been decided failure.
Gen. Dewet, accompanied by Mr..
Steyn, recrossed the railroad north
of Kranskuil and south of Orange
river station Sunday. They are being
closely followed by Col. Thorneycroft,
who left here Sunday by rail. Several
other columns are converging on Cen.
Dewet.
1t is reported that Commandment
Gen. Botha, with 1000 Beers, has
broken away from Gen. French's rur-
suit in the direction of Komatipocrt.
Beers are attacking the village of
Richmond, in the central part of Cape
Colony, and reinforcements have been
dispatched from Hanover road.

PRIESTS OPPOSE II.

tho Antipathy of Omcials of the
Roman Catholic Church.

Manila, Feb. 26.-Rev. Father Nc
Kinnon, who was formerly private
secretary to Mgr. Chappelle and who
Is now pastor of the Ermita Catholic
church, informed a representative of
the Associated press yesterday that
there were upwards of 800 native
priests in the Philippines opposed to
the federal party and that these
would refuse to administer the sacra-
ment to federalists, because they be-
ieved the federal party to be merely
cloak for Protestant attempts to
weaken the power of the church Of
Rome. He referred to the federal
party as resting on an insecure
foundation and destined to crumble
soon," and asserted that the Metho-
dist and Presbyterian missionaries
were using unfair means to induce
Filipinos to leave the Catholic faith.
He assailed the character of Senior
Buencamino and other evangelical
leaders and contended that only by
securing the cooperation and good
will of the padres could the Ameri-
cans make permanent progress in the
Philippines.

eral party, when the views of Father
McKinnon were brought to his atten-
ton, replied: $50 much the better,
