MORBID
PEAR OF POISONING PRRVADES
IMPERIAL PALACE.
Dogs, Rabbits and Sheep Kept on
Hand to Test Safety of the
EdibIes.

The confinement to which the
imperial family is subjected on ac-
count of the revolution is telling on
all of them, but particularly on the
Czarina's little girls, who are no
longer allowed to go out with their
father, about the park with their
dogs and tame animals.
The Gear himself ordered that
the children should never be al
lowed outside the palace doors
when he is taking the air. Remem-
bering the sad fate of the little
Princess of Hesse, who swallowed
the dose Of poison intended for him
he fears to risk his children's life
if he should go out in their COM
pany.
OLD ozARINA COOKS FOR FAMILY.
The Dowager Czarina, who
learned to cook while protecting the
life of her husband. Alexander III,
has once moore turned cook. She
is assisted by an expert chemist,
and has a little herd of dogs, COM
mon, everyday mOngrels, rabbits
and sheep to experiment on. Pref
erably, the imperial family uses
only groceries, wines, ETC., that
come in sealed boxes from Berlin,
London and other capitals. If ma
tive goods are employed, they are
subjected to a double test. First,
the chemist takes them in hand !;
secondly, quantities are fed to the
various trial animals" If the
chemist and rabbits agree that the
stuff is nondangerous, then the Car
and his little family are permitted
to eat in comfort.
OF course, her majesty cannot
manage the cooking for the whole
imperial household, and so most of
the courtiers, ladies and gentlemen,
receive their board in cash now.
Many of them have turned cooks on
their own account, while some OBJ
tain their food in the imperial
kitchen and take chances at being
poisoned.
At M. de Whites suggestion, the
Gar has dispensed with game. of
which he is extraordinarily fond,
as it would be very easy to poison
the carcasses in transit. To obtain
fresh meat without troubling st.
Petersburg butchers that might be
bribed by the revolutionists, herd
of cattle, oxen, calves and sheep
has been installed at the country
place. The Cars body Cossacks
do the butchering, and the meat is
kept in refrigerators under double
guard, like crown jewels.
SERVANTS AFRAID OF THEIR LIVES.
Inc coachmen OF both Plehve and
Grand Duke Sergius having died
in consequence of the attempt up
on their masters, the Cars body
servants are in a panic, and the
places otherwise much sought after
would go begging if vacancies oc-
Cured now. AS it lie, the servants
Immediately attached to the impe-
rial person are constantly asking
for leave of absence, claiming ILL
ness, etc. Not only the head that
bears a crown lies uneasy, the very
men and women that make the bed
and wash the linen are nearly scared
out of their wits.

What the United States Spends on
the Navy.

In the recent discussions over APP
preparation bills the following was
reported from Washington:
Senator Carmack led the attack
upon the administration for the
Democrats. "We are spending more
money for our vanity and for dis
play in building new ships than we
spent upon our navy for the pres
ervation of the Union" he said.
"Internal improvements, river and
harbor work, are being sacrificed to
this great idol of the navy. The
same is true of public buildings.
Within the last three years the
government has spent more for the
navy than has been spent in the
construction of public buildings in
the country from the beginning of
the government to the present time.
A nation that is economically
strong is best prepared for war.
There is no nation in the world
that would dare attack the United
States, even though we did not
have a single battle ship or a SOL
dier under arms"

THE OIL OCTU-
PUS.
AND how IT THROTTLED
KANSAS.
Encouraged Farmers to Deyelope
Fields. Then Cut the Price of
" Crude Raised Freight
Rates, But
Kept Up the Retail Price Until Ruin
Stared Producers in the
Face.

Two questions suggested by the
Kansas uprising against the Stan
dard Oil Company concern the
cause of it and the chance of a
State oil refinery proving an efec-
tive remedy.
The offenses charged against the
Standard included oppression OF
the = producers, exorbitant prices
charged consumers, manipulation
Of freight rates and cut-throat
competition.
For most of the trouble that has
come 20 IL the trust can thank the
Kansas Oil Producers Association.
1t was organized Jan, 10, and is
composed of clear headed coura
geous Americans who were threat
ened with heavy losses and, per
haps ruin through the tactics of
the trust.
Determined to fight for their
rights, they organized to make eff
fective the sentiment in the State
against the trust. H. E. West, OF
Peru, was elected President.
At the headquarters of the or
ganization West and some of his
associates told of their experience
with the. Standard. Three or four
years ago, they said, the trust de-
voted 100000 to thedevelopment
of the field in Southern Kansas
but failed to get good results. Ii
encouraged farmers add others to
take up the work of development.
The price of oil was advanced from
80 cents to $1.3S berrel, and a
well-developed boom was the re-
suit.
A few months ago the trust
talked of overproduction, and the
price was gradually reduced to "a
cents. The producers noticed,
however, that while the price OF
crude oil had been reduced nearly
80 per cent, refined oil sold at the
same old rate.
Consumers noticed that they
were not getting any benefit from
the discovery of oil in the State
The price was the same as in the
days when kerosene came from the
Producers also began tc
( .-<fer in the matter of transporta-
ton. Railroad freight rates were
advanced to such an extent that
they had to give up contracts for
furnishing oil as fuel to manufac-
turers in the cities.
These prohibitive rates were ap.
piled when Re Standard Oil Com
pany Comply its pipe line, last
August. TRe lief offender seems
to have been the Santa Fe system,
to the Directorate of which two
Standard Oil magnates were added
al the last annual meeting.
While the Standard had to sh q
by rail, the rates we're so low thu
all producers could ship at profit.
When the pipe line was completed
the could not ship at all. They
had the choice of keeping their oil
or selling it to the Standard at any
price the latter chose to pay. They
had been encouraged by the Stand
ard to invest all their available
money in oil property, and the
combination of low prices for crude
and high freight rates placed them
in a hard position.
The Standards influence over
Me railways has been demonstrat-
edAin rather an interesting man
,hel by the fact that the pipe line

in the games are panic stricken.
They are reported to have private
detectives on guard to notify them
of the officers approach and by
tip enable them to escape the
Sheriffs.

which ended three years ago. It is
significant fact that, although the
situation has been thoroughly discussed
in the district conventions, none Of the
delegates to the joint conventions were
instructed. That leaves them per.
fectly free TO vote on any proposition
that may come up. One Of the first
things that will be done by the con.
vention will be to appoint a committee
to wait upon the operators and request

plain to the operators, If given an op

so that a mutual agreement may be
