OIL REFINERIES.
d. r. Beatty Says They Will Work
Il Revolution in the Oil
Market.

d. r. Beatty of Beaumont, Tex. who is
a guest of the Planters Hotel, says the re-
filming plants now building and those already
contracted for. will, when completed, work
a revolution in Beaumont's standing in the
oil world.
Somehow" said Mr.. Beatty last night.
the erroneous impression has got around
that our oil Is good for nothing but fuel
purposes. This is far from the truth. 1t
has been demonstrated that the Texas
product contains at least 20 per cent of a
high grade of illuminating oil. and the cost
OF refining is more than paid for by :he
residue"
Mir. Beatty stated that the refinery OF
the Gufy and Galy Company, at Port Ar
thur. is nearing completion. and will be one
of the largest in the world. costing more
than 1000, coo and giving employment to
nearly SEQ men. And at Beaumont the new
refinery of Burt & Co. of New York will
be finished in a short time. Two other re-
fnerfes, to be built by Chicago capitalists,
nave been contracted for and soon will be
erected.
Because the price of Texas oil is SO low
at present. said Mr.. Beatty. some persons
imagine there is no market for it. They
will be convinced to the contrary. 1t re-
quires time to develop an industry as gi-
gantic as this one Is. and stockholders are
unreasonable in expecting dividends at once.
In this connection. Mr.. Beatty con-
of the Texas wells seems to create an i'm
preston that the oil market will be glutted.

TRAGEDY IN A BUGGY.
Illinois Young Woman Killed

Suicides.

Coffson, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-Last evening
a horse n buggy stopped at a livery
barn without a driver. The-buggy was
found to contain the dead body of Gerty
Clifford, aged %. member of a highly
respected family living near Donnelson,
and Fred Prockman, aged 20, son Of
Hiram BrocAman. Brockman was al
NEST dead. The young lady's death was
caused by a bullet wound through the
temple.
Brockman had shot himself twice in
the head. 1t is doubtful whether he will
live. When asked about the affair he
refused to say anything except that u
latter in the buggy would explain mat
tiers. The coroner has not yet arrived
and officers decline to make public the
contents of the letter.

PEACE RUMORS G A
Belief In London Negotiations Have
Been Reopened,

London, jar. 18.-A strong belief pre-
vailed in financial circles here late yes
terday that negotiations for peace had
been opened between the leading Beers
and the British government.
South African stocks rose in sympathy
with the reports. The exact nature Of
what was going On was not known.
but a representative of the Associated
Press learned that leading Beers had
indirectly approached the government,
protesting against the appropriation of
farms in the T~ransyaal and Orange
River colonies by British settlers,
which system Is now being rapidly
pushed, and that strong influence had
been brought TO bear on the Boer lead
rers to ave at least a vestige of prop
erty for their followers.
Whether VIA Is passing between
the Beers and the British government
can be termed peace negotiations, or
what will be their result, can only re-
main speculation for the present. The
stock exchange evidently takes q hope
full view Of the outcome.
Nothing definite can be ascertained
with regard to the alleged peace move
ments. lam
The Vienna papers declare that the
government Of the Netherlands has
entered into confidential negotiations
with the Boer leaders with the view
of bringing the war to an end.
Dispatches from Brussels assert that
DR.. Leyds, the European representa-
tive of the T~ransyaal, still opposes
any negotiations. but that other Boer
leaders have been comforting among
themselves, and with DR.. kuypers. the
Dutch premier, with a view Of arrang-
ing negotiations. None of these stories
has a very solid basis.
In the budget committee of the
Dutch chamber yesterday several
members complained that the govern
ment had taken no steps to intervene

THE WORST OVER.
Gorman industrial Depression Past
the Crisis.

Berlin, Jan. 1.-Replying to an in
terpellation in the reichstag, Count
Won Observation-Disclosures secretary Of
state for. the interior, said that the
best statistics available showed that
there were not more than $500 unem-
ployed in Berlin, their number having
been kept down by the efforts Of the
various federal departments to provide
them with work wherever this was
possible.
The secretary of state assured the
reichstag that the government hoped
that healthier agricultural conditions
would be created so that the country
.laborers might again prosper on the
land.
This statement from Count Won
Possadowsli -Wehner was taken as q
direct bid for support from the gov
ernment in connection with the tariff
on grain.
The speaker further warned the
country against the danger Of overpro-
duction, and said that Germany would
soon be past the industrial crisia.

Nicely Denies Giving Over $4,000
to Make Books Tally. n.

Havana, Jan. 21.-The c~ross-e1amin-
alton OF Estes G. Rathbone, ex-director
of ports of Cuba, brought out no new
facts.
Counsel for w. H. Reeves, e~x-deputy
auditor for Cuba, who is also on trial,
endeavored to put the responsibility on
Rathbone for the neglect On the part
of Cuban post, as failing to render
monthly statements. Rathbone insist
ed that 1t was Reeves duty to report
Irregularities Of this kind. C. F. w.
Nicely was called and examined by the
fiscal. Nicely said that he received his
appointment from Washington and that
Rathbone had made him chief of the
finance bureau Of the Cuban postofflce
department after the organization Of
the Cuban p%ostofflce system. He said
that when the stamps We're burned a
certain amount was reserved for coll
tectors, but he did not know how many,
and when the sales to collectors fell
off he gave the surcharged stamps to
Senior Moya, a Cuban stamp clerk in the
Havana office, instructing Moya to sell
them.
He asserted that he took the money
resulting from these sales n put 1t in
The vault. Nelly made no record of
these stamps, nor did Mayo make out
4 requlsltion for them. In answer to
the fscal's question as to why he had
made no such record, Nelly explained
that insofar as the new issue of stamps
was concerned records were kept In
his office hat he might be in a position
to know what denominations to order
from Washington. AS to the matter
Of balancing the account, the stamps he
turned over to Mayo had no bearing
thereon.
Nicely said he was charged with the
whole amount Of the value Of the
stamps delivered and that these he
must account for either in stamps or
money when called upon to do SO.
For this reason, he said, it madc3no diff
ference whether these Moya sales were
accorded. Instead Of the stamps, he
'aid, he had put h money in the
.-ault. Medley deniedt having any in
terest in the Cowan Printing company
Of Muncie, Ind, and said ne had not
received s., 600 as5commlssion from the
Lock Box company that put in the
Jock boxes in the Edvana p%ostofice.
He explained that this company was
the lowest bidder for that work.
Nicely was confronted by Reeves.
who reiterated his statement that
Neeley gave, him S $500 before leaving
10 make the books tally. Medley an
swered that this was not so NJ that
;le was with an employe Of the post
office at the hour named by Reeves.
At the requestaof Neely's counsel.
this employe will be summoned to
testify. Neeley said he drew his salary
Tor the coming month before he left
Havana for the United States. The de-
lfense will contend that this action
showed that Nicely needed money and
under the circumstances would not
give Reeves any.

When some newspaper men asked
me If the fair would be postponed and
I made a negative reply, 1 was asked
II we could not prepare a better fair in

so can we prepare a better fair for
