Crime.

Saturday evening Deputy Sheriff T.
f. Reynolds arrived in the city from
Muscatine with Joseph Murphy, ar
rested for the robbery during Friday
night of the postoffice at Foster and
the taking therefrom of over SO in
money and several articles of mer-
chandise. The prisoner was given Il
preliminary hearing before Magis-

default of ST 900 bonds.
Murphy is about 45 years of age
and has been i'm trouble before. He
has been employed for several years
past by j. ii. Foster, owner of the
store andep postmaster at Foster. Sew
eral times the office has been robbed
of small sums of money and suspicion
has been directed to Murphy, but in
most cases the amount of money TAX
en- was so small that Mr.. Foster did
not wish to prosecute. Once, how
ever, Murphy and another man were
indicted and tried for stealing n bag
of pennies and were acquitted.

THE DIAMOND MARKET.
Prices Are Stiff and Will Go Higher
by Next Tall.

IAN article I noticed recently in The Star
on imitation diamonds reminds me of a
fact or two concernngas the real article,
which may prove of interest to those who
possess these gems and I'd those who would
like to have them" said the diamond ex-
pert in a Washington jewelry house.
You know, 1t was said two years ago
that the price Of these. jewels would go
down by this time, instead Of which the
wholesale an1 necessarily the retail price
has steadily climbed upward, and diamonds
will be much higher next fall than they are
TODAY. The wholesale diamond market is
unlike that of other markets, which may
be flooded from time to time by a surplus
with attending drop intprices. The only
the South African mines. as the mines in
Brazil are not worked. No new mines are
being discovered, as Is the case with gold
and silver. The output and the duration Of
life of the South African mines is, there
fore, a matter of estimate and conjecture
quite unlikely thing-the diamond trust
could be relied upon to control them. At
any rate, none are being discovered, and
thus the market stands today. This in one
measure accounts for the stinening and
upward tendency Of the market. OF course,
regulated by the diamond mine trust, and
they can let go or hold back as little or
much as they please, and they do not ap-
pear to be letting much go. An importer, q
friend of mine. went abroad for the pur-
pose Of putting in diamonds any way up to
a million. and wrote me, that the condition
of the market was fierce meaning that at
the present prices of high-grade stones
and my remarks are not directed toward
the other grades, as they merely follow
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-05-30

along in line-there was no money in them
to buy wholesale abroad. You see, we are
retailers, and if the wholesale market goes
up 10 or even per cent 1t means such a
big raise on our retail price that the change
is at once noted by purchasers. and 1t
makes them hesitate and balk bit.
I'VE have sold more diamonds in Wash
ington in the past two years than in any
three of our previous history. The demand,
like the market, is stiff, and when such is
the case reduction of prices is, of course,
not thought of. The big importers do not
like TO buy heavily in the face of contin-
ually rising market, for if the tide should
turn they would be badly caught. as COM
petition Is keen, and some of the importers
do q business on a margin of 10 to 20 per
cent profit. Assuming that they did bust
ness on margin of % per cent profit, a
slump of II per cent would scorch them
badly. The retailer can do business on
more independent margin of profit. Thus,
if he can get 80 per cent he will take it,
while he may. to effect a sale. be satisfied
with 20. or even 10 per cent. 1t all depends
upon the house. The retailer must neces-
sarily make good margin OF profit on dia-
monds as compared with his other stock,
because their sale Is proporttonately less
in quantity, and where dealer may have
to hold goods for long time he would soon
go out Of business If his profit was not
large. Where goods are turned over
quickly, as groceries. a small profit is
money-making. Retailers. however. keep
up their end of the market. and it is seldom
that you will find one cutting the other on
diamonds; it wouldn't pay all around.
Another point about the diamond mar
ket is this: Steel-blue stones are scarce,
and their value Is high and uncertain; that
is, they may be worth $500 a carat or $500,
wholesale 1t depends upon how much the
purchaser desires the particular stone or
stones. Dealers will keep these high-grade
stones in their safes. perhaps for years, be-
fore they will let them go until they get
their price. They are not shown usually in
the cases: it Is the pure white. or the COM
mercial white, usually seen there. Many

OIL MAY SUPPLANT COAL.
Mr.. Ely of the Pennsylvania Road
Discusses the Matter.

The Philadelphia North American of to-
day says:
With strong possibility that the coal
strike may extend 10 the bituminous fields.
in which event the fuel supply would be
practically cut off. the question Of burning
oil locomotives is under consideration.
To change locomotive so that 1t can burn
oil instead OF coal is a comparatively
easy and inexpensive matter.
In speaking OF the subject yesterday, T.
N. Ely, chief of motive power of the Penn
sylvania railroad. said:
There is nothing prohibitory in the cost
Of making the change. We experimental
with oil IN 1887, and were perfectly satisfied
as to its practical value and efficiency
locomotive fuel. We did not adopt 1t be-
cause coal was so accessible to our lines.
AS q broad statement 1t may be said that
one pound of oil is equivalent in steam gen
Grating power to two pounds Of COAL
The daily consumption of coal by loco
motives on the Pennsylvania lines east of
Pittsburg is about 1900 tons, costing on
the tenders 81 ton on an average, to
which must be added 80 cents for cost of
handling and removing ashes. This makes
the daily fuel bill nearly $4,000. Six bar
relS Of Oil is about equivalent to one ton OF
coal Calculating I-iat Texas oil can be de-
livered TT 40 cents a barrel, 1t would cost
$3S.4 400 per day for the amount required by
the Pennsylvania, If all its locomotives were
to burn oil.

less attempt to crush the spirit OF freedom

courage"
Mr.. Redmond then went on to say that
the envoys were here to secure the gen
erous support Of the many millions Of Irish
in this country.
Mr.. Dillon said he was confident OF sue
cess because they we're the delegates OF a

vinced the world that Ireland was distinct
from England by the actions OF the league
during the Boer war and they would con-
tinue the agitation until they got what
they wanted.
Mr.. Blake denounced the burden of tax

taxes imposed on the Irish people to raise
funds for the carrying on Of the South
