CANNOT DECIDE
ON PROPER DAY
Chinese Will Celebrate New
New Years on MONDAY
and Tuesday.

From present indications the Chinese
will celebrate the Chinese New Year
on Monday and Tuesday OF next week,
as it seems impossible for them to de-
eide just which day is correct. Chi
nese Consul Yang Wei Pin and many
others declare that Tuesday IS the
proper day, While the Reformers IN
sist that Monday is the day set on
the calendar.
Lin Shin Chow and Ho Fon declare
that Tuesday, as stated by the Consul.
is correct, but the United Chinese So
cieties have agreed to celebrate on
Monday, as they believe that 1t Wouid
be impossible to make the majority Oh
the Chinese inhabitants understand
why Tuesday should be the day.
Three years ago notice was re-
/ ceiyed from the Chinese Minister at
Washington informing the Chinese or
this City that, owing to the loss OF
gain of a day as one crossed the me-
ridian, according to the direction IN
which one was travelling, the Chlnese
New Years had been fixed for F'epru-
airy 49, and since that time the opinion
1 has been divided concerning the cor
rectness of the Minister'S directions.
The Reformers will keep open house
at their hall on King street Monday,
4 and instead of the Consul receiving
as in the past. the president OF the
society will do the honors. A lunch
con will be served and champagne
/ will be plentiful. Consul Yang We
Pin viii hold his receptions on Tuesda,
evening.
4 The members of the United Society
have selected the following to be the
reception committee at the hall or
Monday: Chang Chow of e. Q. Hal
& Son, Ian Tang of II. Hackfeld
Co.. Ltd; Lin Shin Chow OF the IA
waiian Tobacco Co.. W. Y. Kwai Font
of the Bank of Hawaii, Ho Fon o

AN AUTOMOBILE
REACHES MANILA
The First Horseie.s Carriage
in the Philippines Gre
stes Su, prise.

MANILA, Jan. 1S.-The automobile
which Manila has waited for so long
has reached here at last, and on Wed
nesday evening made triumphant
tour of the Luneta to the wonder and
surprise of the natives and the delight
of Europeans and Americans.
The owners of the automobile are
the Signal Corps, with headquarters
on Nozaleda street, near the First Re-
serve Hospital. It is at present used
for the accommodation of the officers
of the corps and the transportation OF
the various Geographic. photographic
and other sage-transmltting para
phernalia necessary in the work of
this department.
| 1t is intended as time goes on to
make more extended trips in the out
skirts Of the city, visiting the different
stations of the Signal Corps In Paco'
Malate and elsewhere, and use It ex-
tensively for line repairs, for which II
is eminently suited.
The vehicle is operated by Corporal
Ellsworth, Of E Company of the sig
nal Corps, who is an expert electrical
engineer, having had considerable ex-
perience in automobiling in Chicago
Another machine has already been or
dered, and it is probable THAI betore
many months there will be several like
vehicles in this City.
/ The machine weighs about 800
pounds, including batteries, etc., ant
cost 800. It is painted light pea
green, making rather a handsome ap
pearance. The electrical power-hous'
at the Signal Corps headquarter
furnishes the necessary mo.or-power
and renders the charging of the bat
teries quite convenient.

Government biologists Report
On the Beaumont Oil Fields.
INMISSISSIPPIALSO IN
Oil is to Be Found All Over
Southeastern Texas and the
Supply is Unlimited.

Washington. Robert T. Hill, chief
geologist of the United States geo.
logical survey, has returned from an
extended geological investigation in
the Texas oil fields and has embodied
the results in q report which says:
TIE chance of this oil field Is far
greater than at present can be de-
scribed or estimated. 1t means not
only a cheap fuel supply to the
largest state in area in the union, but
owing to its proximity to tide water
it promises an export trade such as
exists no where else in the world.
Preparations are being made to sink
hundreds of wells and very soon the
present output of 50o 600 barrels q
day may be quadrupled.
1t is within the limit Of probability

that oil will be found at many places
throughout the coastal prairie, espe-
cially in the southern extension to-
ward the Rio Grande and in the
northeastern state of Mexico at Ia
malpus.
The outcrop of the territory forma-
tions In southeast Texas in Wilson,
Atasoosa, McMillin, Duvail and other
counties is rich in oil and the prac-
tical oil men are risking their money
IN experimenting in that region. AS
the oil bearing tertiary strata extends
east Of the Mississippi into Mississip-
pi and Alabama it Ia not beyond pos
sibility that oil may be found in
these states.
1t is impossible now to state exact
ly the extent Of the oil yielding bed
which supplies the Beaumont wells
and this can only be determined by
experience.
The area of profitable exploitati on
of the Beaumont oil fields is confined
between the San Jacinto and the Sa-
bine rivers east Of the Houston and
West Texas railroad and south of Oil
City, Nagadoches county. This area
may be extended or restricted by fu-
ture exploitation.
1t is very probable that other oil
fields may be discovered in the coas-
tai plain between Beaumont and
Tampico fields. Here lies a vast ter.
ritory underlain by the oil bearing
formations which have not been ok
plotted.

LOOT A WISCONSIN BANK.
Robbers Get Away With Near $50, 900
in Currency.

in Currency.
Mineral Point, Wis.-The First Ma
tional Bank of this City was bnrg-
larized early Saturday, the robbers
getting away with $50, 900 or more
mostly currency. The loss is fully
covered by insurance.
Entrance was effected through the
shingled roof Of the building which
is a one-story structure, thence from
the attic to the vault by digging
away the arohed brick. From the
inside tie vault door was forced open
and the safe was blown with nitro
glycerine. The robbers made good
their escape.
A later report says the amount Sc
cured by the robbers is $50, 000. A
reward of 81, oOU Is onereu Ior tie nr-
rest OF the guilty parties. 1t is
thought the robbery was committed
by two strangers. AS there are no
night trains out of Mineral Point, 1T
is thought the robbers came from
near by town and later drove back
and caught train which took them
to one of the small towns on the Mis-
sissippi, where they are now sup
posed to be hiding The large amount
of cash was to be used in paying off
the miners and laborers. The robbers
probably timed their visit to day
when they knew the funds would be

There is a disagreement between
certain importers of refined sugar and
regular refiners. The American Com
pany has been selling refined sugar to
these concerns under certain agree
ment, which it is claimed the outside
concerns have not lived up to, in that
they cut price and sold to all comers.
Wholesale grocers complained, and
there was trouble all around. Now
the American Sugar Refining compa-
ny has taken steps which will virtu-
ally shut one of the largest importers
out of the market for domestic re-
fined. This importing concern threat
ems to import sugars, and herein
would be the menace to the Ameri-
can market. More or less sugar has
been imported all along, and heavy
importations would serve 70 keep
down the American price.

DE LONE RETIRES
Abstract of Mississippi National
Banks--Captain Hall Is Ex-
hOnOrated.

Washington. 1t is understood here
that the determination of Senior Sa-
gasta to remain at the head Of the
Spanish cabinet may lead to the re-
tirement Of Dupuy de LONE, we'll re-
membered in Washington as minister
from Spain prior to the war, from his
present post as Spanish ambassador at
Rome. When the Silvela cabinet was
formed after the war, Dupuy de LONE
took the important position of Under
Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and as
such had much to do with the Ameri-
can minister, Mr.. Storer, in negotiat-
ing the pending treaty and in estab-
fishing the relations of the two coun-
tries ON a modern basis. About nine
months ago he returned to the for
eign service, and his rank of minister,
held at Washington, was increased to
that of ambassador at Rome. This
apparently removed any embarrass
ments which may have arisen from
the circumstances connected with the
minister's departure from Washing
ton. He is prominent in the conserva-
tive party, and as Senior Sagasta
stay at the head of the cabinet in
sures Liberal regime, it is thought
he will pursue the course usual
among diplomatic officials prominent
in politics Of rendering his resigna-
tion to the Liberal Ministry.

The abstracts of the condition of
the national banks of Mississippi at
| the close Of business on April "a, as
| reported to the Comptroller of the
Currency, shows the average reserv Q
to have been 2SSS per cent, against
81. 10 per cent on February 8. Loans
and discounts increase from 50, 1856, 952
to $3, 1866, 29S; gold coin decrease from
se5, Alb to s6l, 157; total specie in
crease from $249, s29 to s257, 425; law
full money reserve from $3.50, 161 to
s49e, 909 individual deposits decreased
from $453, OFT to SAT-, 7S0. S5.
A comparative statement by the
division of insular affairs, war de-
partment, shows that the total value
of merchandise imported into Cuba
during the first ten months of 1900
was $55, 149, 100, and for the same Pc
riod of 1899 s54, 1925, 732, an increase
of 1923, 377.
The exports Of merchandise also
showed an increase. The figures for
the period stated Of 1899 were $40,-
1913, 6S8, while for 1900 they were
Sal, 4S9, 955, or an increase of $546, ,3l7.
Cuba's trade with the United States
shows decrease of $4s7, 45e in i'm
ports and SIS, 438, GOT in exports. The
marked decrease in the value of ex-
ports to the United States and an ap-
parently large increase in the expor-
tetion to European countries is ex-
planned by the war department in
part by the fact that In the early
period of 1899 many shipments of to-
bacco for Europe were consigned to
New York for re-exportation, their
final destination not being reported.
Hence the United States in that year
received credit for greater amount
of this commerce that it was entitled
to under the present arrangement for
crediting export trade to the country
of it's final d estimation.

States and the Greek Nation just rati-
