Indian Territory will not be bur
dened with railroad aid bonds when
II becomes a state. II will have the
railroads and will owe nothing for
having secured them. II doesn't take
aid bonds TO get a railroad in that
country. If It did, there would be
no railroads, for there is no provision
of law under which such bonds can
be issued. On the other hand. there
is a law against it, But the railroads
are going there just the same. in no
state in the Union is there so rapid a
development of railroads at present
as is going on in the territory. All OF
the Western roads have their eyes
ON the Indian country and many OF
them are getting in there with as
many lines as possible.-The South

The development of crude oil as
power producing fuel is attracting a
great deal of attention these days.
For the same reason that the finest
inventive genius Of the world has
been brought to play upon the prob
lem Of reducing the cost of producing
coal, human ingenuity has been busy
in its search for a substitute for coal
The consumption Of fuel is constantly
increasing and the demand for some
thing more economical than coal is
obvious The discovery of heavy
crude oil in Texas and the necessity
for its utilization has stimulated the
search for means whereby oil may be
economically substituted for coal as a

The infinite play Of criticism and
humor upon the phrase "undlgested
securities" used by Mr.. Morgan in
the interview he gave out on the fnan-
cial situation previous to his sailing
for Europe is said to have deeply
chagrined the great organizer and to
have further confirmed his prejudice
against being quoted in the newspa-
pers. The phrase was an unfortu-
nate one. II was not original in Mr..
Morgan's interview, having already
come into general Wall street usage
but his name gave It an authority
that carried it into every financial
center of the world, and 1t has been
echoing back to Wall street ever since
variously distorted and embellished.
Mr.. Morgan broke fixed rule in Civ
ing out the interview and had II re-
written five times before he was sat
isfied with it. but Notwithstanding his
scrupulous pains the unhappy phrase
referred to was permitted to stand.
II was so expressive, truthful and
natural that Mr.. Morgan probably
did not realize that those very quail
ties would, upon the authority of his
usage, give It a tremendous vogue
Mr.. Morgan is reported to have said
that he will never give out another
interview.

Il Is understood that the Standard
oil interests are not satisfied with
the monetary outlook. and they get
their banking information through
the National City bank. Money Is
cheap. Call funds have been In
abundance under three per cent for
more than a fortnight and the rates
for time money have gradually de-
clined until 1t is now possible TO ne
gotiate nine months loan carrying
over the end OF the year at FIVE per
cent. There is, besides, the prospect
OF financial relief this autumn in the
enactment of n currency reform meas
ure by congress at a special session
Indeed banking interests generally
are less apprehensive than they usu-
ally are at this season OF a really
serious autumn stringency in the
money market. The clouds are OF
another character. II is extremely
probable that a number of underwrit-
ing syndicates which are heavily OBJ
ligated in undigested securities will
be called upon to take up these Sc
ourities and this will mean an awk-
ward shifting of the Wall street bur
dens. For many Of these securities
there is no market at all. In this
class might be included the securities
of the International Mercantile Ma
rine and the United States Ship Bui
ing Co.. In order to take them up
the various subscribers to the under
writing syndicates may be compelled
to sacrifice good stocks for which
there is a market.

WALL STREET NEWS LETTER.
fRr w. @. NIeholasl.

New York, May 16.-Several weeks
ago the Standard OIL crowd. so called.
which is composed Of the principal
personal elements in the Rockefeller
clique. decided upon a policy OF stock
market inactivity. That was a very
usual thing for It to do. and there is
great deal Of curiosity in Wall
street to know why Il should have re-
solved at this particular time to hold
aloof from the market The Illness
OF ". II. Rodgers may have had some
thing to do with It, and II his return
to health is what the Standard OIL
crowd has been waiting for, its rea-
son for being inactive will soon dis
appear. The outside world may be
surprised at the extreme solicitude
which Mr.. Rogers illness awakened
in financial circles. Only Wall street
people know what tremendous stock
market force is II has always been
the policy Of the Standard oil people
TO figure as a crowd rather than as
individuals and this, no doubt. is the
secret Of their enormous strength.
Mr.. Rogers, however, came as near
being the leader OF this Standard Oil
crowd as It is possible for one man
to be. He figures always in the
background. however. and is rather
distinguished for modes;y in the so
ciety Of men whose chief Characters
tic, either individually collectively,
is the lack OF outward assumption
The Standard Oil party is the most
unassuming combination OF financial
interests, outwardly at least, in Wall
street. Whether this happens to be
a common trait of character or arises
from a sense Of unlimited power II
would be difficult to say. II is by far
the most powerful party in Wall
street and to the lay stock market
observer its campaign appears to be
as precise and irresistible as the
movements of the earth. The posi-.
bility Of its failing in any important
design is so far beyond the compre
hension of the Wall street mind that
in this little world it is not admitted
to be a possibility. AS a party It is
enormously rich and its resources are
always available because they are
never tied up in underwriting syndi
Gates or similar ventures.
