Russia's information Regarding Fleet

St. Petersburg. April 11.-Russia's
information regarding Rojestvensky's
feet. its location destination and in
tentions is based solely on foreign
dispatches. which are all too meagre
to prevent a quick ripening crop of
rumOrs. according to one of which the
adverse fleets have already joined in
battle. Others of these dispatches are
attempting to locate variously the bat
tleship division of the squadron. The
admiralty steadfastly processes its in
ability to impart any light or clarity
the situation, and there is reason to
believe that the profession is made in
good faith, at least as applies to all
except the very highest officers
The admiralty informed the Asso-
ciated Press that the report received
yesterday was not from the com
mander of the squadron. but from the
captain of a merchant ship who had
encountered the feet and reported to
the Russian consulate at Singapore.
Some naval officers conjecture that
the four battleships are delaying in
order to effect a junction with Vice
Admiral Nebogatoff's division but gen
orally credence is given to the report
that the battleships are taking q
southern route through the Sunda
Straits. the selection of the Singapore
route being regarded as in the nature
of feint and TO minimize the danger
of torpedo boat attack on the main
stays of the feet.
Meanwhile events in Manchuria
have come to a pause, and at home
the main attention is being given to
the work of the Bouligan commission.

Standard Oil methods in Kansas. He
Is accompanied by T.. j. Caswell,

Il have no news To give ont about

I want to learn something Of the sltua-

Governor Hoch. There IS no telling
how long it viii take to make the in

Commissioner Garfield said he had
been working on the oil situation for
several months.
"The early agitation in Kansas" he
said. interested me. as il is a repetl-
ton of what we went through in ONO
several years ago. The relation of the
total production OF crude oil TO the
demand is naturally an important mat

ard OH company seems 10 have raised
the cry of production as a defense
against the charges. and this claim IS
one of the things that we shall 90 into
carefully 10 is not our intention TO
take everything for granted. We ex-
poet to make any investigation OF the
freight and other transportation ques-
tions in connection with our inquiry
regarding the price OF crude oil. In
short. we shall secure every available
fact regarding the oh industry. non

whole corporation question.
There is one thing in connection
with an investigation of this character
that ,he public seems TO overlook. The
fact that the profits resulting from a

of any price or the attempt 10 fix any
