size and efficiency Of his army and has

portance. The purpose Of the visit ac-
cording 10 reports. was to apprisc the
President officially Of the action Of the
Porto Rican Legislature requesting The
President 70 proclaim free trade be

country. So far as that act IS concern

any way remarkable is the circum-
stance that it was necessary for the
Legislature 10 take any such action
Nevertheless, the Governors visit on
such an errand naturally suggests
number Of things connected with rec

though small in themselves, are full Of
interest and significance
First, we are informed that the Presi-
dent Will issue the proclamation on July

the American army IL Porto Rico. This
recalls the reception Of General Miles,

arms, with cheers and songs. and liter

people more joyfulIy change their al

PETROLEUM IN RUSSIA.
An American Consul Reports That
the Price Is Declining

The State Department is in receipt Of
communication from F w Mahin. the
United States. Consul at Reichenburg,
Russia, announcing that the price OF pc
troleum, which last year materially ad-
vauced is now staeadily declining in that
part of the world In the Russian oil
district" ne saws. the decline is re-
markabIe. amounting TO fully 50 per cent
at Baku since January This IS due to
increased production, amounting to about
p per cent in comparison with the early
months of 1900, and to the large accumuIa-
ton Of reserve stock The reserve at
Baku is now said TO be about 7.Z22. 000, O00
pounds In Russian petroleum circles.
the blame for this vast accumulation is
laid 10 the inadequate transportation IA
cilities of the Trans-CaucasIR Railway
The declining quotations from New
York are construed as indicating that the
weakness Of the Russian petroleum mar
ket Is having a far-rea ching influence

Waterbury Democrat., 1901-01-31
WATERBURY GRIT,

Congressman Richardson of Tennes- See, says the New Haven Palladium, the leader on the democratic side of the house. whose scheme of copy-rieht- ing the messages and papers of the presidents has been condemned by al- most every newspaper in the country, has involved his publishing bureau at Washington in trouble with the good people of Waterbury. A number of subscriptions for the work were pro- cured in that town, but when the peo- pie learned the character of the work they refused further payment After they had begun the work the bureau at Washington failed to forward the money for the preliminaries to the suits, and the lawyers, instead of pros e4uting the subscribers, turned and thought suit for their services against the bureau. The latter in the mean while keeps sending letters to the sub- scribers demanding payment. But the concern has been so widely adver- tfsed as a discreditable speculation that it is not unlikely that Mir Richard sons dreams of millions will fail of realization. His copyright. covers mat ters that rightfully belong to the Unit ed States and every citizen thereof. and the scheme wins him no respect from those who understand the trick It is doubtful whether he can enforce payment against the people who have subscribed for his collection of old doc uments in the expectation of getting something of value which could not be procured elsewhere.
