Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1903-11-30

The editor of the OH City Der
rick had case of being very funny
last Friday. He has them occas
siosally but not nearly so often as
he has cases of "Philadelphia sun
stroke" which we call In West
Virginia too much tangletoot"
But the editor asjust funny. He
says we are one of the McCoys that
has escaped the Hatfelds The
door ass who edits the Derrick
knows about as much about oil as he
does the McCoys and Hat6elds who
live hundreds of miles from Sisters
Vile and they are an entirely diff
erent breed of pups from The Sis
tersville McCoys. We presume
however the Derrick man was just
being funny, so all laugh.
The cause of this very funny
article of the Derrick was brought
about by the Oh Review publish
Ing the true reason for the advance
in oil from 81 II to S1.s2. We
stated the advance was caused by
the Independent Pipe Lines raising
the price to $3.50 a barrel. We
ask the Derrick If that Is not true!
He knows 1t IL and he knows that
caused the Standard to raise the
price of oil when 1t did. The Der.
rick says the price, of refined oil
was raised 30 points on that day.
No doubt about that but every
producer knows the advance of
refined Is frequently made, but we
challenge the Derrick to point TO
one single time when the advance
of refined oil was not more than
the price of crude was advanced tor
when refined was marked up. Re.
fined oil goes up nicely and crude
ought to advance In the same ratio
but 1t don't.
Since we wrote the article about
the fight being on, Col Dick Jen-
nings, the we'll known producer OF
Pittsburg, has been In our city aud
confirmed the news we published,
which Mr.. Twitchell gave out. Col.
Jennings says the fight Is on, that
the Independents need more oil
than they can buy and for this rea-
son cannot afford to cut the price
of oil; that they must pay bonus
to get oil and think the independ.
ent producers should all flock to
their rescue now and sell their oil
to the Independent men. When
the devil Is sick, the saint the devil
would be; when the devil Is we'll, a
devil of a saint Is he. When the
Independents had all the oil they
wanted they paid no more
nor less for oilthau the Standard did
and there was no more competition
between the two companies. The
Independents were just the same to
the producers as the Standard was.
Now 1t is short OF oil, must have 1t,
cannot get 1t, hence, the Indepeu-
dents want to appear as saints but
the minute oil can be had In guam
titles then the Independents go
right along In the Standards foot
steps. Col. Dick Is successful
producer, very nice gentleman,
but he can't follow the Standard
when 1t suits him to do so and
when 1t don't expect the producers
to fall over each other In trying to
rescue him.
While We are talking to the Der
rick we kindly ask Its editor why
the Standard Oh Company refuses
to issue certificates for West Viz
siuia oil? We are curious to know

can make up for this rule which
prevents the producer FROM getttr 6
at least ten cents more per barrel
for his oil. How Is 1t, Pat? !

{ URGENT CONFERENCE.
Russian Ambassador and Secretary
 Hay Meet Secretly.


 WASHING ON. April 27.-Russia's demands in Manchuria and their effect pn American interests were the subject of a conference between Secretary Hay md Count Cassini, the Russian ambas- sador. which occurred at Secretary Hays house and lasted for nearly an hour. It is denied that the ambassador brought official advices from his goyr ernment, but the fact that he is still suffering from an attack of lumbagol which has confined him to the embassy for several weeks Is evidence of theS urgency of the call. Steps have already been taken by the state department to ascertain the true lnwardness of Russia's latest moves Ambassador Mccormick at St. Peters-A burg has been instructed by cable to present to the Russian foreign office note which while Automatically known as one of inquiry is in substance a strong protest against Rlissia's de- tnands. Cabled instructions also have been sent to Minister Conger at Pc king to express to the Chinese authorI- ties the dissatisfa ction of the United States with Russia's demands and our hope that China will not accede to them. No answers have yet been re- teived to either note, though unofficial assurances are still reaching the de- partment that American interests in Manchuria will be protected.
 In the departments note which Am bassador Mccormick probably has pre- sented already Rusaia's attention Is called to the assurances which repeat edly have been given the United States relative to the preservation of the in- tegrity of China and the continuance of the open door policy. Russia also ia reminded of the severe blow to Amerl- ran trade which must follow the grant Ing of the first two demands, that no more ports or towns in Manchuria be opened and that no additional foreign conEuls be admitted.
 Appreciating the fact that the inter- ests of this country in Manchuria are those of trade and not territory, Rus sia, 1t is stated, is disposed to make certain trade concessions to the United States in Manchuria at the proper time.
