NEW OIL COMPETITION.

Russia, which computes with the Uni
ted States for the export petroleum. trade
of the world, produced in 1900 So per cent.
Of all the petroleum offered for sale IN
the markets Of the world-namelyr, 500
million gallons, out of tota! production
of one billion gallons. But Russia In
the same year produced three and
third billion gallons of naptha, while the
production Of the United States was
only two and ons-tenth billion gallons.
The weakness shown by Russia IN
supplying the worlds petroleum market
was due to the fact that the Russian
freight rates to the seaboard were too
hiri. and the means of transportation
insufficient. The reason usually given
in Russia in explanation of why prodUc-
ers give more attention TO the manufac-
tire Of nsptha products than to the
refining of oil is correct only because of
tba obstacles to transportation just men
toned.
At present the means for conveying the
oil from the shores OF the Caspian Sea,
where it is produced, to the Black Sea-
where it is opened to the markets OF the
world, is by the Baku-Batutn Railway.
This line is sos miles long and has dou-
bic track for only two short stretches.
1t is capable of transporting with its pres
ent equipmen. only about 4oo,Ooo,oo gal
Ions per annum, but the amount is rare
ly over. SOO,G0o,00o gallons, owing to the
| frequency of the railway accidents.
The Russian Government is seeking to
facilitate the transportation Of oil by the
| construction of a pipe line, which will
parallel the railroad. There have been
about go miles Of this line constructed SO
far. and an inperia. order has been is
sued Tor the construction of the rest
This will give an annual output of 625.-
! Gn0, 600 gallons per annu:n. The cost for
! Transmission for each pood Give gallonsl
| of petroleum through the pipe line will
| cost the State six-tentls OF cent the
net cost by rail being two cents.
These statistics, which ere taken from
the advance sheets Of the consular re-
ports. make it clear that the Russian pc
troleum industry VIII soon be enabled to
/ compete with the American in the mar
/ Eets of the world, il other conditions re-

Mr.. Kuyk's Reply.
, The Times:

Editor of The Times:
Sr.-Your editorial in yesterdays paper
and comment on my letter OF the day be-
fore are such as to demand a reply.
1t seems strange to an educated pc :
SON. that a self-constituted leaGer Of the
people should be SO blind as to miss en-
tirely the point at issue.
Your comments on my letter are en-
tirely correct when there is only a gen
eral question OF government, but IN this
case there is a special consideration which
you do not seem TO perceive at all, for
you say that whatever tends to help
and improve and elevate one human be-
ing, generally, speaking, must tend to help
and improve and elevate other human be-
ings, regardless OF the color OF their
skins.
Generally speaking" IL there were no
question of race involved you would be
right, but that is just the point at issue
The color Of their skins" means no.
thing by itself. But it Toes not stand by
itself.
II is the outward and visible sign OF a
dinerence of race anu this dlHerence as
by the act of God.
IF we say in the marriage Service
"rrhose whom Gcd has joined together,
g1et no man put asunder,' we may say
with equal justice in this case: ..Inose
whom Cod has put asun6er, let no man
join together"
Upon this fact the State relies Tor the
righteousness Of her laws against m1sce-
eenat1on and for the separation OF the
races in all public places
Where the negroes form a portion OF
the population large enough TO be OF
Importance, there are two communities
instead OF one.
This is an anomaly. but it is a tact, and
should be recognized.
