REPORTED OIL STRIKE.
Rumor Around Price That Big
Flow Has Been Encountered in
the Sinbad Country.
Especial to The Heraldl


Price, Utah. Nov. 10.-There has been
rumor all day that the san Rafael Oil
company has stru cly flow in the Sin
bad country Tfe news was brought
here by two men ng,neo Westover and
WINNER, they having left there last
Thursday. They say the bore was
then down something like 1 400 feet,
and that the flow could not be con-
trolled.
President Arthur J. Lee of the COM
pany and other officers here have not
heard anything more than the news
brought in by these men, and can
neither deny nor affirm il. 1t was at
about this depth that Manager A j.
Davis expected to strike it.
The latter is in salt Lake and has
been since q week before election, IN
less he has gone in there by another
route than Price. To say the least,
there is considerable mystery sur
rounding the rumor and the move
ments of men. prominently connected
with the deal.

Manager Davis said last night that
he placed no faith in the report. tThat
is about the depth at which we ex-
pected to strike OIL he went on. but
I do not consider the news Of the strike

firmatiOn of it at all.

COMMERCE. WITH SPAIN.
Conditions Prior to the War Have
Been Resumed.

Conditions Prior to the War Have
Been Resumed.
Trade relations between the United
States and Spain have resumed the con-
dtiOns existing prior to the war between
the two countries. The exports from the
United States to Spain In the fiscal year
just ended were larger than in any pre-
ceding year with a single exception, 1883,
and show an increase of $4,000, 600 over
1899, while our imports from Spain also
show a marked increase over 1s99 In the
seven months ending with July, 1901, our
imports from Spain were So, 10, 71S, against
$2,S75,S40 In the corresponding period of
the preceding year, while during the same
period our exports to Spain increased from
IS, ,1S9, ,2SS to $S9SS, $40. For the single
month Of July our imports increased from
$27O, PIG to $634 665 and our exports to
Spain increased from $64O. $3.50 to 81, ,156. 49O
Raw materials form the most important
feature Of our exports to Spain, and fruits
and iron ore the principal articles of i'm
portation. The total value of our i'm
ports from Spain in the fiscal year 1901
was S., ,4O9, ,3O1, and in 1900, S5,95O,O47. The
details of the 1901 importatiOns are not
available but those Of the year 1900 show:
Fruits, over $1,5O0.OOO; nuts $51S,OOO;
wines. $53S00O, and iron ore, $65O.0OO in
value.
Turning to the export side. raw mate
rails prove to be the chief feature Of our
export trade with Spain. Our total ex-
ports to Spain in the fiscal year 1901 were
$15. .4S4. .73s. against $13, ,399, $50 in 1900. OF
the latter total cotton was valued at $9,-
61S,93O; mineral oil, $SS3.011; shocks and
slaves, $3.50. .295; tobacco, $661 S42; boards
and planks, $426, 1887: breadstuffs. $685. 1853;
iron and steel manufactures, 1852, 1873;
chemicals. drugs, etc.. $385S2, and meat
products. $1S,47O. While the figures Of the
year just ended are not yet available as
to details. it is probable that the chief
growth will be found to be in the item OF
cotton, of which prices during the year
were materially higher than in 1900, whose
figures are above quoted.
The following table shows the imports
into the United States from and exports
from the United States to Spain in each

TOURNAMENT AND BALL.
Interesting Events at SuitIand Park
The Successful knights.


A tournament, followed by grand ball.
were events that took many persons from
the District and Maryland to Suitland Park,
Prince Georges county, Md, yesterday.
The affair was held for the benefit of st.
Ignatius' Church, at oxon Hill, Prince
Georges county, Md. There were fifteen
entries OF knights for the fitting. which
was close and exciting. several ties oc-
curing and being run of amid great en-
thusiasm. The following were announced
TO be winners of the various prizes: L. D.
Love, knight of Maryland, first; W. L.
Heran. knight of Washington Boy, sec
ond, G. B. Blandford. knight of Accokeek.
third. and J. 1. Blandford Knight Of Prince
George Boy, fourth. When the ball opened
at night Miss Rudolph was crowned by the
winning knight as queen. Miss Blanche
Allen and Miss Neome Marie Cadell were
crowned as maids.
The chief marshal of the tournament was
G.. W. Hardy. The aids were Joseph c.
Mattingly and Guy T. Grimes. and the
heralds were Carroll Gibbons and Walter
Brooke. The judges were Horace Crozier,
James Bell, j. w. BARLEY, j. II. Boyer, r.
Lee Manning, John Miller and John Madi-
gan. The orator of the day was Joseph H
Wilson and the orator of the evening was
Robert Wells. The committee on knights
was composed of Hill Blandford, j. H.
kerby, John Money, sr.; William CuSack
and Edward Brooke.
Music enlivened the occasion, and In the
afternoon and evening dancing was In or
der until a late hour. Large stages con-
veyed people from the city and Anacostia
to the scene. Supper and refreshments
Were served IN the old-fashioned style
Among the clergymen present during the
dag were Rev. Father c. F. Bart, pastor
of st. Teresa's Church. Anaeostia; Rev.
Father Schwallenburg, assistant pastor Of
the same church: Rev. DIR. d. J. Stafford

Father Dougherty, both also of this city.

emergency. but this was only practicable
In cases where each consignment was kept
to itself on board ship, and this was very
rarely done, in view Of the fact that near
ly all goods entering Manila were not
through shipments but transshipments
from Hong Kong or Singapore.
In fact, there was no remedy for the con-
gestion which prevailed at the custom
house of Manila prior to October except an
adequate number Of bonded warehouses
or more government storage room, and
that this was recognized to be the case is
established by the fact that the commits
sion very promptly took the matter in hand,
let contracts for the erection of additional
storehouses and as a temporary expedient
converted forty-nine classmates in the
walled city into store rooms.
If any one is to blame for the congestion
which occurred between July and December
of 1900 let 1t be he who could have fore
seen that in 1900, during active hostilities,
the volume of goods shipped to Manila
would have more than doubled that Of any
Spanish year.
Storage Room Provided.
Since November. 1900, though now and
then threatened. there has been no serious
congestion in the government warehouses,
but that has been due to the additional
storage room provided by the easements, to
the opening of the custom house eight hours
a day instead Of six, to the fact that irnpor-
tations have considerably fallen off in view
Of the prospective adoption Of new tariff
and that importers have co-operated with
the collector to clear their goods within a
few days instead Of taking advantage Of
the fifteen-day storage limit allowed them
by law.
The collector recommends that certain
vessels be procured for the use Of the GUS
tom service, for the purpose Of preventing
smuggling and serving as light house ten
ders.
His resume of shipping statistics shows
that from January 1. 1900, to May 81, 1901,
there were issued to vessels 1888 certifi-
Gates Of protection at the six entry ports
to coastwise vessels, and 1907 licenses
granted to engage in the coastwlse trade.

EXTREME DESTITUTION.
Andrew and Charles Butler Found In
Starving COnditiOn

N
Starving Condition,
Andrew Butler, sixty-two years old and
Charles Butler, his brother, who is three
years older, were found last night In an
old shanty near 22d and B streets north
west In critical condition, due to exhaus-
ton When discovered by the police An
drew was unconscious and Charles was In
a most pitiable physical condition. Charles
Butler told the police that he and his
brother were starving, as they had had
nothing TO eat for four days. Their house
presented scene of extreme poverty and
squalor. The two men were removed to the
Emergency Hospital. where Andrew lies in
a critical condition.
When. found yesterday Charles the
younger brother. lay upon a dirty cot in q.
small room in the rear Of the house. An
drew was upon the floor nearly dead from
lack Of nourishment The walls and
ceilings Of the house were covered with
cobwebs and the floors were Uttered with
refuse
Upon the removal Of the two brothers to
the hospital small quantities Of food were
cried for more. but Il was thought tudi-
cious to give them only limited amount
OF nourishment. It Is expected that
Charles will recover. His brother, however
Is In condition which gives but Nttle
hope of saving his life.
The two brothers have lived for three
years in the shanty In which they were
found. 1t Is said that Andrew has worked
occasionally during that time around the
X street market.
The discovery of their condition was made
accidentally. Sergt. Sullivan Of the third
precinct was informed about o'clock last
night that two men were lying In desti-
tute condition In the shanty. A patrol
wagon from the third precinct was sent
for and. bearing Policeman Meyers, II was
driven TO the place. The removal Of the
men followed.

they got it. Nevertheless, Brig. Gen.
Whittier, U. 8. ", was appointed collector
and Lieut.. Col. Cotton deputy collector Of
Manila on the implied understanding that
they We're to go right along and run the
custom house as If nothing more serious
had occurred than change of adn1inistra-
tion. OF course, they couldn't do anything
of the kind. Neither of them knew much
about customs systems in general and a.
whole lot less about the Spanish system in
particular. Under these circumstances the
new collector and his deputy became. for
a few months at least, mere receivers of
porters Now that the cruel war Is over
such a method Of managing custom house
must excite the horror Of every well-regu-
lated customs expert in the country. and
will receive the reprobation of every good
citizen who has not forgotten, or rather
suddenly remembers, that the army In the
philippines was very imprudently selected
more with an eye to carrying on q vigor-
GUS war than for fitness In chasing and
annexing. for government purposes. the
winged and elusive dollar.
However that may be- let II be said In
mitigation that nothing else could be done
and that the officers in charge set to work
with such commendable energy and in
telhgence that some order soon began to
be evolved from the veritable chaos which
had inevitably followed such a sudden and
radical change of masters.
New Customs Regulations.
I'm July, 1898, the government at WASH

CHRISTMAS AND THE MILL CHILDREN

By Irene Ashby MacfRdyen.
 Christmas is near again with it's mer- riment and good will Of all days in the year it is the Childrens Day. It is celebrated because a |hild was born on 1t, and all nations have instinctively felt that it was the Children's Festival, even though they. dear ones. could under stand little of it's significance.
 Thus children's joy and fun fills every household so fortunate as to know the batter of tiny feet and the ring of child tsh laughter, while parents renew their youth in the happiness of their little ones.
 In this sweet time when we are pre- occupied with ChildrenS s rights to the joys of existence, rights which fill us with a sympathetic pleasure akin to pain because We realize how soon the happy inconsistencies of childhood must pass for our dar!ings, some of us turn in thought with Il pang to children wrongs.
 The wrongs of children! Who would harm helpless ehild In this beautiful land of rest? None but a brute, delib- Crattly. But In this as in other things, Evil Is wrought for want of thought.
 When 1 remember the wan and piteous faces of the tiny children l looked down into this time last year iu the cotton mills of Alabama. raunot but acknowl- edge that throUeh ignorance and care iessness a great wrong is being done tn childhood here, l hoped and believed then that l had only L. tell their pitful tale in this land of the free to have hundreds of chivalruus hands stretched
