OIL STRUCK IN CUBA.
Discovered in Paying Quantity and
High Grade Ia Quality.


OIL of a high grade and in paying quanti-
ties has been discovered in Cuba, according
to Mr.. George H. Corey. an oil operator OF
southern California who Is now IN TINS
city after having Been prospecting success
fully in Cuba for the past six months. MT
Corey has sunk 81 web $50 feet at Car
denas, Cuba, 120NmilaSq west OF Havana.
From this well he has obtained produc.
ton Of fifteen BARRELS daily. The geological
conditions in Cuba are, similar to those OF
southern California. where Mr.. Corey Is ia
miliar with the OIL development, SO that
when he struck oil at depth of $50 feet he
90O-foot level, which 4w6rk is now going on.
In California webs that have yielded fair
quantities of oil have beeome gushers when
carried down to uthe ideeper depths, and
that is what Mr.. Corey is hoping to see in
Cuba. The result of this additional expert
ment cannot be known for month or two.
Crude oil sells at very high price In
Cuba on account of the tariff of 10 per
barrel placed upon importations by the Gus
ban government. That tarin makes the
price of crude oil In Cuba $3.50 barrel.
which is about three times what similar oil
Is worth In this country. The Cuban oil Is
said to be of a. fine quality. 1t Will be re-
fined in that island, as there are refineries
there now, In order to avoid the payment
of the still higher duty that Is put upon the
refined product The oil development in
Cuba Is now expected to progress very rap
idly. because so long as the present duty
Is placed upon American oil imported into
the island the product will be er ormously
valuable.

LIFE LONG RESIDEN T

A venerable Washingtonian who was so
intimately associated with Pres. dent Abra-

be like brothers., is dead at his home, 5O4
Maryland avenue southwest. The deceased
is George w. Goodall, who was born in this

UNSIGNED BANK NOTES.
They Are Not Worthless, as Has Been
Generally Supposed.

"A statement is going the rounds OF the
press in connection with the reported de-
struction by fire Of some incomplete ma
tfonal bank circulation in transit to banks
by the recent burning Of a mail car at or
near Cooks Mills, Pa, In which 1t is rep
resented that unsigned national bank notes
are worthless.
The attention of Deputy Controller Kane
was today called to this statement. and he
said that the impression conveyed Is incor-
rect; that while sections 5172 and 51S2 OF
the Revised Statutes of the United States
required the circulation of national banks
to be signed by the president or vice presi-
dent and cashier of the association issuing
the circulation, the act of July y. 1877,
provides for the redemption of national
bank notes that have been or may be issued
to any national bank, or received by it. not
withstanding such notes may have been
lost by or stolen from the bank and put in
circulation without the signatures, or upon
the forged signatures of the officers OF the
bank.
He stated further that when circulation is
authorized by the issuing bank to be de-
nvered to the agent of an express company
or to bank agent to be shipped to the
issuing bank by express or registered mail,
it is regarded by the controllers office as
having been delivered to the bank, and the
bank is responsible therefor. If such notes
are lost or stolen While In transit they are
redeemable at the treasury with or with
out signatures, the same if stolen from
the banks vaults, and the bank is required
to look to the shipping agent for indemnifi-
cation. In the hands of an innocent holder
such notes are of as much value as notes
regularly signed and issued by the bank
All incomplete national bank circulation
when it leaves the controllers custody is
entered on the books as a liability of the
bank to which 1t is issued.
The amount of incomplete national bank
notes involved in the shipment referred to
was $500. and not $4,000, as stated

GOING TO KANSAS.
Commissioner Garfield to Iuvestigata
Oil Trust Methods.

Commissioner James r. Garfield of the
bureau of corporations has returned from a
fishing trip on the Gulf of Mexico. In his
absence the preliminary work of the In
quiry into the production of marketing Of
oil which he instituted before he left
Washington has progressed to such a stage
that he now Is enabled to begin his per-
sonal work on II. He left today for Kan
sas. going directly to Topeka, where he will
begin his inquiry into the methods of the
oil trust in that field
Commissioner Garfield said that 1t was
not possible for him to say. even approx
imately. how much time the investigation
will consume. He proposes to make 1t as
thorough and comprehensive as possible.
With that end in view the length of time
the inquiry will occupy will not be taken
seriously into account. Commissioner Gar
field has not completed yet his reports on
the beef inquiry, although the work of the
investigation is well in hand.
At least four chapters of the report, deal
ing respectively with transportation prob
lens, retail prices. evidences of combina-
ton and the cattle ranges, remain yet to
be completed. They will contain some of
the most important information developed
by the inquiry. These chapters of the re-
port will not be made public until after the
federal grand jury now sitting in Chicago
shall have finished Its inquiry into the OPP
erationS and methods of the big packing
concerns.
1t is an open secret that much of the in
formation gathered by Commissioner Gar
field has been placed in the hands OF the
officials of the Department of Justice and is
being used in the inquiry now making by
the Chicago grand jury. No intimation is
given by either Commissioner Garfield or
other officials cognizant of the facts of the
nature of the information they possess, but
at least it is deemed wise not at this time
to submit 1t for publication.

The Gregory, which is Nixon-built boat,

was on her way to Europe. She sailed

George W. Goodall was closely and promi-
nently identified with the upbuilding of
Washington from it's former ungainliness to
It's present magnificent condition. He
learned the trade of plumber soon after that

ward foreman for John Reese. He was
known one of the original Washington
plumbers and was closely associated with
Alexander r. Shepherd in improving exist
ing conditions in this community The
greater part of his commercial career was
spent In business for himself. He did the
first plumbing work in the United States
Capitol, ii Is said and soon after President
Lincoln was INDICTED into office he was
made official plumber of the White HOUSE
In ADDITION to the White House he also did
the plumbing work in the government de-
partments, and for a long time was known

Mr.. Goodall was fire commissioner under
Mayor Sayles j. Bowen, and II was he who
installed the first steam fire engine in

Fall Trade Good.

PARIS, Oct. 26.-Fall trade is
unusually brisk in the Paris pet dog
market. NJ. Aaron, who is at the
head of the dogs palace in the Rue
Castiglione, says he has never had
a better season. One morning this
month he sold $4,000 worth of bulls,
papillons, top spaniels and poms. AL
most all the purchasers were Ameri-
cans. When asked what dog is now
most fashionable, he remarked:
With cold weather coming and
women wearing furs and darker dresses
than in spring, and summer animals
with white coats or an abundance Of
white are most in demand. That is
why Japs, Blenheims and tiny Mall
tese terriers are being bought up.
apart from these small poms, tow
spaniels and black -and-tans are most
saleable. French bulls have fallen in
price considerably, even for first-class
specimens. Americans, who are the
principal buyers, won't give fancy
prices, $1,000 to $4,000, as they did two
years ago."
