RUSSIAN OIL OUTPUT.
Owners of a Gusher Believed to Have
Lost Money.

The State Department has made public
an exhaustive report on Russian oil pro-
duction. submitted by United States Consul
Chambers at Batum AS an instance Of
the almost overshadowing effect of govern
ment royalties upon oil produced from gov
ernment lands Mr.. Chambers points to the
cases of big well struck In November
last in the Bibi-Eibat district. which pro-
duced more than two million barrels in a
little over thirty days. The owners Of this
big guSher. says the consul, are generally
believed to have lost money. for the royal
ty amounted to five kopecks per pood or
2E cents for about thirty-six pounds and
he says they realized very little above that
hgure for their production. Moreover, they
were compelled to pay heavy damages to
neighboring property owners and to owners
of property in village more than a mile
away from the well; for a high wind arose
while the oil was flowing and carried the
spray all over the village and the well
owners. 1t Is said. must pay for repainting
about all the houses in the town.
The big we'll referred to above is 1913
feet deep. and another giant In the Romani
district is 1.S41 feet deep.
Mr.. Chambers submits a mass of interest
ing data, showing that the cost of oil pro-
duction in Russia Is considerably greater
than in the Texan and Californian fields
He says that the lessees of the Bibi-Eiba
lands have petitioned the Russian govern
ment to accept a royalty in the shape Of a
proportion of the Oil produced instead of
taxing each pood fixed sum in kopecks.

Certificates for Spanish War Veterans

the Interior Department, in a decision
Just announced, on appeal from the action
Of the commissioner of pensions. has de-
cided hereafter to issue what are known
as short-term certificates to veterans Of
the Spanish-American war having pension
able disabilities. These certificates have
been issued to veterans under the general
laws covering a designated period and
ceasing with the disappearance Of the pen
sionable disability. but heretofore have not
been extended to apply to veterans Of the
latest war. The decision probably Will re-
suit in the filing Of a large number OF
claims from this class of veterans. The
decision is made In what is known as the
Cook case and under it claimants can re-
cover $50 q month for their proven second
grade disability for the period thereof only.

AWAIT THE DECISION
COMPETITORS FOR GRANT ME-.
MORTAL INPATIENT.
Col. Bingham Receives an Open Lettel
Speaker Henderson Among
Today's Visitors.

Now that it is known that the advisory
committee having in charge the selection
of the Grant memorial has practically COM
pleted its work, and is only waiting for the
public exhibition to close before making its
report to the memorial commission, there is
more than ordinary interest manifested on
the part of the competitors as to what the
report will be.
Throughout the competition there has
been great amount of good-natured rival
ry among the sculptors and architects. and
in one or two instances 1t has not been al
together good natured. There has been
much badgering INDUCED in by the COM
petitors- The following open letter to Col.
T A Bingham, received by him today, was
evidently written by one of the competitors
who has a keen conception of the humorous
side of the thing:
The Plant of Competitor.
"Oh, colonel, won't you be the mediating
angel between the poor competitors for
the Grant memorial and the demi-gods en-
throned in the War Department? Tell
them that artists are not heroic-sized men
like soldiers. and their nerves are more
sensitive and delicate.
Not since the tortures of Tantalus and
Regulus. or, at least. since the Spanish In
upon human beings are now inflicted
upon the poor competitors by withholding
from them the decision of the committee
for such an unnecessarily long time.
Massey Rhind, who has described his
model to every white and black citizen in
the District of Columbia. is now sitting and
watching with his Scotch-gray eyes full
of pathos and anxiety. Niehaus has
chewed up all the gum he could find ana
has big bill at the druggists for nerve
quieting narcotics.
"A fine plate of hot baked beans has
been placed before Kitson as a consolation.
He only looked at the beans and sadly de-
clined to eat them. Piccirili has given up
macaroni. Shrady and Casey are under
treatment for nervous prostration. Amateis
is reported shut up in his wooden chateau,
and is dangerous to approach.
News from New York and Boston reports
cases of hydrophobia among sculptors and
architects.
"Oh, colonel. won't you let 1t out?'
