with unconscious force. he tore them
from his neck, and pushed her from

Are you insane, Senorita Lazalie?"
he asked, In tone whose GOODNESS

"a criminal before q judge.
You are unnerved by what has
come ito you. and do not know what

low, even voice that affected her like

the bundles lying reay for removal
Early in the afternoon the entire
crew came ashore with the body oil
their dead captain; and all on the
island were given half-holiday. in
order that they might show respect TO
its interment.
Lazalie was not present: and La
fitte saw her no more until evening
when. with high-held head and scorn-
full air, she Joined him and the others
at the table, to partake OF the last
meal that would be eaten on the Bar
ra de Hero.
In the midst of It they were startled
by the sudden appearance in their
midst of hedraggled and weary form.
1t was that OF the gunner, Lopez. who.
still wet from the sea. and his gar
ments torn by the thickets through
which he had pushed his way, dropped
silently into chair. seemingly too
worn out for speech. His face was
white, and bandage enveloped his
head.
1t was as LATTE had supposed and
contemplated. Ehewah. by help OF the
charts he had stolen. had gained the
enemy's favor; and the latter, in con-
sequence of the information furnished
by the Indian, had lost no time in re-
pairing damages, and setting sail In
pursuit of the brigantine.
There was general rejoicing over
Lopez's escape. But this feeling was,
in measure, tempered by anger at
Ehewah's treachery; and hard indeed
would have been the Indians fate
could any Of those sinewy hands have
grasped his brown throat.
When the gunner's story was ended,
half-suppressed roar had surged
through the room, to be hushed by the
uplifted hand and reproving frown of
LATTE; for Lazalie had not yet left
the table, but sat. with Ma'am Brigida
beside her, at the farthest end. Her
red lips were parted slightly. and an
angry light glowed in her black eyes.

power in Wall street speculation It's.
methods have been sharply criticised.
The panic of May 8, 1901, was openly
laid at its door. The Northern Pa
cific deal, out of which that panic
grew, was titanic affair. 1t was a,
contest between the mightiest finan--
cial interests in the United States. A,
more recent episode in the career of
the City bank was the Munroe & Nun
roe affair. The failure of this concern
brought to light the fact that the
largest bank in the United States was
as willing to aid in floating Montreal
& Boston mining stock on a credulous
public as to engage in great railroad
deals involving hundreds of millions
of capital
Nor is this all. 1t was Standard
Oil money that started the Amalga-
mated Copper company. Boston peo--
Ple have not forgotten that enterprise.
They recall the methods employed to-
buy control of the great Boston &
Montana company for a song. They
remember. too, how the price of Anal
gamated copper stock was doomed to,
about 100, just prior to dividend re-
duction, in order that the insiders
might unload on the public. And the
part played by the City bank in pro-
noting the Amalgamated company is
also fresh in mind. The profit to the
Standard Oil coterie from promoting
and manipulating this enterprise will!
never be known; but it is almost in
calculable.
Meanwhile. the oil monopoly has
been growing more and more COM
piete. AS it has progressed in other
directions. the Standard Oil clique has
increased its means of sitting compe-
tition in the manufacture and distri-
button of oil. II was by railroad re-
bates that it got its first real start;
md now 1t is itself mighty power in
the management of the railroads of
the United States.
But last week the mandate went
forth for it to be investigated. A res
olution to this end was rushed
through the national House, and the
President has been prompt to act upon
it. Commissioner Garfield of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor has
been told to institute proceedings. and
to see that they are thorough. The
specific task, in compliance with the
congressional resolution. is that of inv
vestigating the cause of the low price
of crude oil. and of the unusually
large margins between the crude and
refined products. The aim is to find
cut how much the present situation is
the result of combination or conspir-
acy in restraint of trade.
In short, an effort is to be made to-
find out everything possible regarding
the Standard Oil company specifical-
ly. II the Commissioner of Corpora
lions is as successful in this instance
as he was in the case of the beef
trust. he is likely to produce results
that will startle the country. He is
also, it is said. going to look into the
doings of the STANDARD OIL crowd"
An adequate report on the Standard
Cll company may ensh BILE us to obtain
cheaper oil. But resi- knowledge OF
the STANDARD Oil crowd" will be of
immense value in conserving the en-
tire financial interests of the people
of the United States, now and here
after-Boston, Post.

FATHER KETCHAM EXPLAINS.
No Deal with the Administration for Favors
to Catholic Schools.

Washington, Feb. 3.-President Roosevelt's
connection with the distribution of Indian school
funds was explained and justified to-day by the
Rev. William H Ketcham. director of the Blu
reau of Catholic Indian Missions who appeared
before the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs
TO defend his bureau against the charges that 1t
has been using undue and political influences to
secure the of trust funds for Catholic schools
The charge had been made that the bureau,
through DR.. z, L. Scharf. of this city. had made
promises of Catholic political support to the ad-
ministration in return for favors. and it was to
answer this that Father Ketcham went before
the committee.
He denied that Dr. Scharf ever had any con-
nectton with the bureau, with any branch of
Catholic mission work. and declared that what
ever DR.. Scharf did was on his own initiative
and without authority. It was not denied by
Father Ketcham that the bureau had endeav-
ored to secure aid for mission schools He said
that for years the bureau has been conducting
schools on various reservations, notably the
Usage and the government has been paying for
the teaching of pupils, the same as in govern
ment schools He submitted statistics to show
that the per capita cost has been less in the
Catholic schools than in the government schools
The efforts 10 obtain the use of the trust funds
were begun under the administration Of Presi-
dent Mckinley. said Father Ketcham, who ex-
planned that he laid the matter before the Presi-
dent and received ruling that the proposition
seemed fair. President Mckinley then referred
the question to the Secretary of the Interior but
no action was taken. and year ago ii was taken
up by the Catholic bureau with President Roose-
welt, who, according to Father Ketcham, ap-
proved the appropriation, and said that If he
found IL to be lawful he would gree TO permit
the contracts to be made. 1t was then that it
was referred to the Cabinet, and later 10 the
Department of Justice, for opinion
Father Ketcham asserted that Bishop Hare,
of the Episcopal Church, knew a year ago that
contracts were being made and at that time made
an inquiry of the Commissioner of Indian At
fairs. and had explained to him the authority for
the contracts. II was declared further that
Bishop Hare had similar opportunities for his
schools but declined accept them.
IF Bishop Hare had accepted this aid in the
same manner that the Lutheran Synod accepted
aid for their schools in Wisconsin. then there
would have been discussion Of this matter,
said Father Ketcham.
He referred 10 the annual appropriations By
Congress for Hampton Institute and other sec
tartan schools, and said that what his bureau
was getting not government aid. but pay
ment for education from q fund owned by the
Indians, ana that the aid was by direction of
the Indians lawful guardians.
