SEE POLITICS IN THE MOVE.
Standard Oil Company Calls Off 1900
Workmen From West Virginia.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: F. Q. Barstow. director of the
Standard Oil Company, admitted today to
a Globe reporter that the company had or
dered general suspension of work
throughout nearly the entire oil region of
West Virginia and 4 transfer of the en-
ployes to other states. The ction af
fected by this move Oh the part of Stand
ard Oil is the portion where nearly the en-
tire republican vote Is cast and unless the
republicans do something TO counterfeit it,
it may mean the loss Of West Virginia from
the republican column. Three-tourths of
the men employed there by them eSti-
mated by local politicians of West Virginia
to be republicans. For the next few months
they will be sent to OHIO and Pennsylvania,
where there is already a surplus of repub-
ican voters.
What is said to be viewed with more
alarm by the republican managers, how
ever, is the effect which this unannounced
Shift will have in the prosperity of that
section. The men employed by Standard
Oh in that region are devoted to what is
known as wild-catttng' or prospecting
They go about the country in gangs, make
geological surveys ana bore for oil. They
carry an immense amount of bulky equip
ment in the way of machinery, drills, ETC.
Farmers and local teainsters furnish the
transportation, and local merchants sell
them their supplies.
When oil is struck the owner of the farm
pumped from the well, and thousands OF
erStwhile farmers have retired from agri-
cultural pursuits and now spend their days
counting their royalties and waiting for the
arrival of another wild eating gang.
But the bark of the drill will be hushed
until after election and democratic orators
will point to the depression and say that a
republican administration is the cause and
their opponents must admit that the charge
IS true.
Senator Scott of West Virginia was in
credulous when the report of the Stand
ard Oils move was t1rsr brought to him
al the republican national Headquarters
but when the interview with Mr. BarstoW
was related the senator was convinced and
angry. He declared that he would carry
the state anyway and exclaimed:
why, if the company takes every man
in it's employ out of the state it won't
make difference of 1,JOc votes"
Republican managers have been perturb-
ed by rumors of Standard Oil opposition for
over a week, but have been unable to con-
firm any overt act of hostility. That the
Rockefellers were peculiarly situated to af-
feet the situation in West Virginia thew
were aware, and since this is the only
doubtful state outside of Indiana where tho
oil interests were of Importance thew have
been scrutinizing the situation more closeiv
there than anywhere else.

BACK FROM THE ANTARCTIC.

A cablegram from Plymouth, England,

RUSSIAN SHIP IN OUR PORT.
Cruiser Lena Puts in at San Francisco
in Bad Shape.

dispatch from San Francisco last
night says: Much excitement was aroused
here this afternoon when the lookout at
Point Lobos reported that Russian war
ship was entering port She proved to be
the converted cruiser Lena, direct from
Vladivostok, and she put in here, accord
ing to her captain. because her boilers were
so defective as to make the vessel pract-
caIly helpless She will be dismantled and
may remain here month.
The cruiser Is under command of Capt.
Benlnsky, and carries twentyfour guns,
sixteen officers and 4SS men. Commander
Rytschoff who speaks English, gave the
following explanation of her presence here:
about three weeks ago the Lena was
ordered to proceed from Vladivostok to
San Francisco in response to an urgent re-
quest from the Russian consul general at
San Francisco that a war vessel be sent
here. What his reason for this request
was 1 do not know, but tonight the cap
tain is to have conference with him.
I'VE came by the Great Northern Circle,
passing the Aleutian Islands, but we are
out of coal and the boilers are in such ter
rble condition that they must be thorough
ly overhauled before We go to sea again.
l understand that the ship will be dis
mantled and that it may be necessary to
remain here whole month before repairs
are finally completed
Manager IL. "A. Harnett OF the japanese
steamship line, who was promptly informed
of the arrival of the Russian cruiser, cabled
to his company in Yokohama to hold the
America Maru until the cruiser departs.
The America Maru Is now between Shang
hal and Nagasaki on her way to this city.
Harnetts theory is that the Russian
cruiser was sent out from VladivoStok on
a rowing commission to see If she could
capture any Japanese vessels He regards
the trouble with the boilers as ruse to
permit the vessel to stay here and dis
mantle. Then at days notice she could
resume her guns and sail out ready to hold
up any Japanese ship. This theory is borne
out by the fact that she can make nineteen
knots, and on a pinch can increase that
rate, which would allow her to overhaul
any vessels of the Japanese line as well
as most of the Pacific Mail and Occidental
and Oriental steamers.
She is of 5000 tons and $50 feet long.
OF her "a guns. 3 are S-inch. II are 6-inch,
8 are finch and 3-inch Those who board
ed her late this afternoon say that every
thing is in good order and that her guns
all looked effective She formerly in
passenger traffic between Odessa and Kron-
stadt, and six months ago was converted
into a cruiser.

A Change of View.

But in later and equally official utter
ances by our opponents the term self-gov-
eminent was substituted for Independence:
the words used being SO chosen that in
their natural construction they described
precisely the policy now being carried on.
The language of the platform indicated n
radical change of policy: the later utter
ances indicated continuance of the pres
ent policy. But this caused trouble In their
own ranks; and in a still later. although
less formal, utterance, the self government
