REBELS WRECK 4 TRAIN.
Seuen Killed and Fifteen Injured
Near AdrianopLe.

Sofia. Aug. 27-The eastbound daily express
from Budapest to Constantinople was blown up
near Kuleli Burgas. about twenty-five miles
south OF Adrianople early this morning Seven
persons were killed and fifteen were injured.
Dynamite bombs were used. Every car was
smashed Apparently the outrage was the work
of revolutionists who travelled the train
Constantinople Aug. 27.-The train which
was wrecked near KueH Burgas was waiting
for the arrival of another from Salonica juno
ton. The railway officials believe that the in
fernal machine was placed in the train at Sofia
and that the clockwork was timed to bring
about an explosion on the meeting of the two
trains Only two cars were wrecked. The dead
include two Mussulman women. two children
and three trainnen.
The train service continues without Interrupt
ton. The reports that it is intended to sup
press it are unfounded.

WIRELESS MESSAGES ALL RIGHT.

Charles II Boynton, superintendent of the East

quested to state 10 what extent the reporting Of
the yacht races by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph

SECRET OF SARATOGA
OIL GUSHER REVEALED
Texas State Official Reports
on Field

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. 3.-The first def
mite and authoritative information in re-
gard to the new oil field at Saratoga.
Tex, was obtained today from John T
Smith. Of the State comptroller's de
partment who has just returned from a
visit to that locality, where he made a
careful investigation Of the situation.
He says there is q gusher in the new
field which, by actual test. has a capaci-
~ OF 25,0oO barrels day There are
two other flowing oil wells in the field,
but their capacity is not so great as the
gusher.
It has been known for some time that
oil in paying quantities had been struck
al Saratoga. The fact that one Of the
wells is a genuine gusher was a secret
except 10 a few interested parties. ac-
corGing TO the statement Of Mr. smith.
4 am convinced Ethat the Saratoga oil
field is destined to become one of the
greatest oil producing regions in the
world" Mr.. Smith continued 1T is sit
uated fourteen miles distant from the
nearest railroad point. and this fact &C
counts for the lack Of excitement and
knowledge concerning the new discov-
cry. The new field is about nine miles
distant from Sour Lake, where oil in
paying quantities has been struck, and
I am convinced that the old strata con
meet these two fields
I was informed by one of the parties
to the transaction in my visit to Sara
toga that the Southern Pacific Company
had just purchased 500 acres Of land
situated in the heart of the new field,
and including the three producing oil
wells. The price paid for the 500 acres
and three wells was $4,000. It is re-
ported that an oil pipe line viii be built
from Saratoga 10 a point on the rail-
road. The Houston Oil Company, which
has a capital stock Of S15, 600, coo. also
has extensive holdings in the new field. -

gardiug the present crop, 1902-19O3, the
marketing of which commenced on July
1 of last year In his report OF July
Il. Consul General seeger estimated it
a 10000. 000 bags, OF nearly 6,00O,o 900
bags less than the yield of the previous
season. In his last report he raises this
estimate to Il. coo 600 bags Some AmeTi-
can authorities have set it higher,
while others have made it less The
consul generals figures may therefore
stand Though much short of the yield
in 1902. It is still an enormous crop
It is peculiar of the coffee tree that
as soon as a new crop blooms, which
in Brazil is some time in October, the
experts can make very close estimates
OF the forthcoming yield. Already the
new Brazilian crop (the harvest Of
1a03-19O) promises to be much larger
than the present one, the marketing
of which closes June 80. 1903
The Coming Crop.
Mr.. seeger estimates the coming crop
at 49, 600 GOO bags, based on expert in
formation. Various other statements
regarding the crop lead to the concIu-
sion that the yield viii more probably
exceed than fall below these figures.
It is obvious that DO figures obtainabIe
are absolutely reliable, but it may be
taken for granted that Consul General
Seeger's estimates are carefully made
in the public interests, and entirely
free from buIlisb or bearish market
influences. He expresses the opinion
that a large decrease even from the
present low prices Of coffee is inevitable
in the near future.
This is the data. fairly reliable, upon
which is based the belief that coffee
viii continue to rule cheap for several
years to come, and probably much
cheaper than prevailing wholesale
prices.
Visible Supply Greater,
The visible supply of coffee in this
country at the close of the calendar
year is greater by 275,OoO bags, OF &c.
800 GOO pounds. than at this time last
year. but just now with a decided tend
