DECREASE IN OIL IMPORTATION.

In the first eight months of the present year the qua
ty Of mineral oils exported from the United States fell
than rs per cent below the shipments in the
ponding part of 1902 The loss in the value of the oil
marketed in foreign countries less than per cent
These facts point directly to the change which is likely
to by gradual steps, in the export trade Of the
United States in petroleum products AS fresh and
productive oil fields grow fewer harder in this
country the of making refined oil must rise with the
of demand upon the supply in the crude market
The advance in prices will inevitably cut foreign
trade to quantities For time there will be offset,
perhaps complete in the form Of rising values But the
competition of Russian oils will ba increasingly formid

and electricity will gain by contrast All parts of the
civilized world oil for Illuminating purposes grows

The American petroleum fields have been great

RAILROAD SEIZURE BY HONDURAS
The Controversy Under Consideration at the
State Department.

Washington June 1s.-The State Department Is
considering the controversy raised by the seizure
by the government of Honduras Of the railroad
from Puerto Cortez to La Pimiento, which was
leased to an American syndicate In 1897 for twenty
five years Senator Depew, of New-York; John
Jacob Astor and other we'll known men are said TO
be largely interested in the syndicate. The contro-
versy grows out of large amount of bonds issued
many years ago to build the road. These bonds
eventually found their way into the hands or
British and American citizens. but their claims
were not pressed until about year ago. when the
British Consul in Honduras filed a protest against
the lease. Action upon the protest was postponed
by the government OF Honduras until May u or tls
year. when the government seized the road. Ihe
State Department has information as to why
the road was conflscated, but the representatives
of the American syndicate intimate that 1t Is for
the purpose protecting the property OF the gov
ernment and that the interests OF the synqlcdIe
are not endangered. Both the American ponnnoiu,-
ers and the representatives of the syndcate "hicI
leased the road have presented their sides OF tne
controversy to the department. Ihat the Donu-
