A GOOD NEIGHBOR'

The Standard Oil Company is not al- together popular, but the oil producers of Spindletop Hill extend to it a hearty welcome, After it's usual careful and painstaking investigation, the Standard decided that the greatest oil-producing country in the world was Southeastern Texas and Southwestern I.ouisianas and that the field was permanent. Its next step after coming to this decision was to invest heavily in oil property there. and immediately crude oil at the mouth of the we'll went up from twenty to fifty cents a barrel. The Standard Company is not in business for it's health.
 No one profits more by this advance in price than the next largest owner of oil property in the district. the ORANGE OIL AND REFINING COMPANY. and we have nothing but the kindest and most friendly feelings for our neighbor, whose advent has more than doubled the price of our product and the value of our great property.
 The capitalization of the ORANGE OIL AND REFINING COMPANY is $5,000O00, and the par value of it's shares BIO. More than half the stock is still in the Treasury very limited amount is for sale for very short time at $4 a share and Is, we believe, at that price the best investment n the market. tfI

Against Insurance Companies.

Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 2O.--Judge
Mcpherson of the Federal bench, has
rendered an opinion in which he holds
that the anti-contract law which was
placed on the statute book of Iowa in the
year 1896 is Invalid and its provisions
cannot be enforced by the state auditor.
This opinion is of far reaching impor-
lance, affecting upwards of hundred in
surance companies at which it was direc-
ted, and designed to prevent their enter
ing into any combination or agreement
relating to rates to be charged for insur-
ance, the amounts Of commissions to be
allowed agents for procuring the same, or
the manner OF transacting fire insurance
in general throughout.

THE FOLLOWING taken from the Rich
mond News-Leader will be read with
surprise, not that it contains anything
not known by people outside of Rich
mond, but because of the fact that the
Richmond newspapers are awakening to
the political situation as it exists so tar
as Senator Martin is concerned:
One hears a great deal about the Sen
atorship in the lobby. Men from all
over the State discuss the matter, and
the reports from all sides and sections
are that Senator Martin is far stronger
now than at any time since he has been
in public life. Walter Edward Harris,
formerly managing editor of the Rich
mond Dispatch, and who is now con-
nected with the Times-Dispatch, has
been engaged in making a tour of the
State for his paper. He says he is sur
prised to find sentiment so strong in
favor of Senator Martin He is Mar

The Alaskan Boundary.

London, Oct. 20.-The official decis.
ion of the Alaskan Commission was an-
nounced this afternoon. According to il
Canada gets the Portland Canal, and
the islands of Wales and Peascs.
America secures the remainder of the
disputed territory. The award proves
to be vindication of the contentious o.
the United States, inasmuch as Americs
obtains all she claimed with but few
minor exceptions. Canada, it is true,
obtains Portland canal and the islands
of Pearce and Prince of Wales, but the
United States gets the islands of Sitklan
and Kannaghunat, which command the
entrance to Portland canal and the
ocean passage to Port Simpson, thus
practically destroying the strategic value
of the two islands awarded to Canada.
Again, the line Of demarkation gives
the United States complete land
barrier between Canada and the sea
from Mount st. Elias to the head OF
Portland canal.
John w. Foster, of counsel for the
Americans before the Alaskan Commits
sion, when seen by your correspondent,
after the announcement of the findings
of that court today, said: 1--WE are
satisfied with the way the award has
gone through. Of course we would
have liked to have seen Portland canal
given to US. We have no criticism to
make anyway"

The Baltimore Truss Companies.

Baltimore, Oct. 20.-Rumors were
flying thick and fast in financial circles
this morning. 1t was said that this or
that institution was in a shaky condition,
with really nothing on which to support
the statements except imagination
There was considerable excitement mani
tested and much anxiety on the part of
depositors. There were some withdraw
ais but up to IL o'clock, there had been
nothing which could be called a run.
Should run be commenced on any of
the institutions, it is more probable that
they have prepared themselves for the
emergency. There was pretty general
feeling among fnauciers that the break
of the Maryland Trust, which was due
to financing the Vera Cruz and Pacific
Railroad, would not affect any other f.
nancial institutions in the city.
The statement of Receiver McLane
to this effect was generally considered ia
be conservative, and put a good deal OF
confidence in the doubling ones. In
spite of the fact that there were certain
institutions specifically mentioned in the
rumors of coming breaks, there was not
the slightest sign of nervousness in theil
officers and none whatever among theiI
depositors, the morning being unusually
quiet. There were several small suits
filed this morning asking for co-receivers
but up to noon there was no indication
of any action against any other trust
company or bank. Late yesterday Re
ceiver White of the Union Trust Com
pany stated that the cause of the failure
was an inability to realize on the Sc
curities which he claims are absolutely
good. He further asserts now that every
creditor will get every cent. This has
caused a better feeling. When the
Maryland Trust Company went down il
caused a run on the Union Trust Com
pany, which was entirely unexpected
and which the company was unprepareo
for. They could not realize fast enough
and they decided to close the doors.

West Indies, the Philippines, China,
and Japan, are in conference here today
The opening session of the Pan-Ameri-
can Conference of the Bishops Of the Pro-

order this morning by Bishop Daniel 5.
Tulle of Missouri at the Pro. Cathedral OF
Ascension. Rev. DR.. Hart, Secretary OF

the problems to be discussed will
be congregations. Other questions
bearing on Church expansion Will
also be discussed. Arrangements for
the Conference have been in the
hands of Bishop VIM. A. Leonard OF
Ohio, Thos. Underwood Dudley, OF
Kentucky and Henry Yates Satterlee,
of Washington. The Bishops will hold
daily sessions until Friday.
The State Department received an
important cablegram from London early
this morning relating to the work OF the
Alaskan Boundary Commission. 1t is
assumed that the dispatch contained not
only a confirmation of the press dis
catches announcing the signing OF the

visions thereof.
An important point covered specifi-
cally by the Alaskan boundary decision
is the express statement that the Porcu-

tory.

He has hesitated long in turning down
Senator Hanna and Boss George B. Cox,
but after an investigation similar to that
made when he had to decide between
Alice and Ball in Delaware, he has
given Foraker the decision. He has
found that Hanna and Cox are holding
up Wrights appointment merely on
personal grounds.

ANOTHER MURDER-the second In
the past four months in the same
locality-occurred in this city last
night As on the first occasion, the
victim was colored man and his slayer
one of his own race. After the murder
the negro's movements somewhat re-
sembIed those Ct the individual who
recently shot a white man in saloon IN
the western part OF the city and who
has not been apprehended. He walked
ant back door. made his escape and Is
now at large. In fact he seemed IN no
hurry whatever, as he proceeded from
an upper room where the shooting oc-
Cured to the bar where his victim had
fallen, ordered glass of beer, drank 1t
and then walked away. AS stated
above this is the second murder in four
months in the same part of Alexandria,
q cOlOfcu man having DOOh hiiNN i"'N
June by one of his own race within a
stones throw of the scene Of last nights
tragedy. There was some apparent
motive for this crime, however, but, so
far as can be learned, the murder last
night was unprovoked aud premeditated'
The negro problem is as far from being
solved now as it was in reconstruction
days. 1t was supposed that the con-
ferring of franchise and the education
Of the race would metamorphose Its
members into orderly and industrious
citizens. A few have evolved into such,
but the fact remains that a large per-
centage of both sexes love the saloon,
dance house, excursion or brothel more
than education or privileges of citizen
ship.

THE DAMAGE to the Long Bridge oy
Sunday nights accident which has
temnorarilv caused Alexandria to be-
come the terminii of half dozen rail-
,oads forming the main artery Of travel
between the north and south, has opened
the peoples eyes to the enormous traihc
which is carried on through the streets
Of this city. Alexandria has never been
az animated before in her history. In
,he olden times one train arrived at
Duke and Henry streets about two
o. clock in the afternoon. 1t took but a
short time to transfer the passengers,
baggage and mail to the steamer. Later
the same train ran TO the foot Of King
street where it took probably half an
hour TO make the transfer, after which
quietness prevailed until the succeeding
afternoon. Contrast such pictures with
those of the past forty-eight hours, when
passengers trains are spread out day and
night on Henry and Fayette streets
where transfers are made to electric
trains. These scenes are being enacted
all day as well as most of the night,
while other passenger trains are run via
the w. & O. road to Union street. Two
ferry boats are kept busy night and day,
while elecric trains and single cars are
running continuously on King, Royal,
Fairfax, Columbus, Cameron and Payne
streets. Vehicles of all kinds were running
to'and from in the meantime. The city
is full of strangers, one hotel having
been compelled to place cots in passage
WAYS and halls in order to meet the
demands for accommodation. DC
casionally we hear people talk OF by-gone
DAYS, when they make comparisons
unfavorable to the present order OIL
things. The object lessons of the past
few DAYS should dispel some OF thelT
dreams of the imaginary decline oil
Alexandria's commercial importance.

the ambassadors of the powers to ascer-
tain the feeling with regard to the claim
OF the Jews TO Palestine. Subsequently
the Sultan summoned the Zionist leader,
Dr. Herzl, to Constantinople and had a

negotiate with them relative to the FORM
ing of a settlement of Jews east of the
Jordan and also in portions west of the
river, with the exception of the holy
places to which Christian pilgrimages
are made, The exception is a conces-

IT Is said in Washington that ''if
Maryland goes democratic, Senator Cor
man. according to advisers of President
Roosevelt, will almost certainly be nomi-
mated for President; therefore, President
Roosevelt is making special effort to
unite the Maryland republicans and
secure a republican victory" Mr..
Roosevelt knows full well, and appre-
ciates, the strength of Senator German
with the people, and there is little won
der that he is making such an effort to
head him of. The Senator would make
the most formidable opponent that Mr..
Roosevelt could possibly have and is
feared by him more than any man in the
democratic party.
