CONGRESS- PROMPT ACTION

Washington, Feb. 1s.-''The situation
in the oil-producing district of Kansas
amply justifes the resolution of Rep
resentative Campbell passed by the
House without reference to any com
mittee," said Mr.. Howard +. Adams,
an owner Of oil wells in chat dis
trict. MIR. Campbell is dealing with
a situation which requires at the hands
Of Congress prompt treatment. The
condition in his district, which praeti-
cally takes in all the oil belt of the
state, il this. The owners Of the oil
wells saw their crude petroleum taking
a constantly downward course, decIin.
ing from over 81 barrel to forty-seven
cents The difference between this fig
ure and the price of the refined product
being unreasonably great, the kansans
went to their Legislature for relief. In
answer to this the trust Immediately
gave notice that it would not buy any
oil produced in Kansas at any price.
The consequence was that 1000 wells
within the state have ceased production
and hundreds of men are out Of employ
ment. 1t is a fair deal that we want
and nothing more. Curiously enough,
Kansas has been the central factor IN
several of the greatest acts in our ma
tional drama, and history may repeat
itself in this case

GRAND DUKE SERGIUS

LOYALTY.

The Grand Duke Sergius, who was
Stayed by a bomb yesterday, was born
April 20 MAY ~, 1857, was the third
brother of the Russian Emperor Alex
ander Ill, who made him governor Of
Moscow, Of which he was a tyrannical
and unpopular ruler In 1884 he was
welded to the Grand Duchess Elizabeth
Of Hesse Darmstadt, grand daughter Of
Queen Victoria, and daughter OF Prin-
cess Alice. It was said she led sad
and melancholy life. When d young girl
she fell in love with q young officer at
tached to the court of Hesse. Darmstadt,
but was forced to marry the Grand
Duke Serge. Although very intelligent,
Sergius was horribly jealous, and The
sufferings of the duchess were beyond
expression. She has no children, but
FIR. Ioann, a priest at Kronatadt, who
is supposed to work miracles, told her
that if she embraced the orthodox re-
ligion she would know the Joys Of ma
ternity.
Because of this Elizabeth abiured

Car the title Of grand duchess in the

Moscow.
He was very unpopular and had the
unhappy faculty Of wounding even those
who would have been friends; these
were afraid to become open enemies,
and as secret foes they were far more
dangerous. Not only the Muscoyite aris-
tocracy but the merchants and lower
classes were entirely opposed to the
rule OF the Grand Duke Serge, and the
Gar was Obliged to interfere. And yet,
he had manners agreeable as his BROTH
ers, and In conversation he possessed
the charm Of all the Romanoifs.
In 1891 Gar Alexander III. gave
Grand Duke Sergius peremptory leave
OF absence for d year. The grand duke,
it Ii alleged, had been tampering with
the allegiance Of officers high in COM
mand at Moscow, Warsaw, Wilma and
other military centres.
While he was governor general Of
Moscow he was most unpopular.
An illustration Of the tyranny Of the
grand duke IL given. 1t appears that
he gave orders recently that the horse
races at Moscow were not to commence
until he arrived. A large crowd was
present at the races, and they were
kept waiting for an hour and half
before the grand duke appeared. The
crowd grew very inpatient at the de-
lay, and when the grand duke appeared
he was vigorously Kissed.

CURE FOUND AT LAST.
cerebro-Spinal Meningitis Is Checked
by Use of Serem.

New York, Feb. 1s.--Tests and ex-
periments conducted at Gouverneur Hos
pitaI on patients suffering from cerebro-
spinal meningitis have led the doctors
to the belief that new and successful
treatment for the dread disease has been
found. The mortality Of meningitis has
always been high, especially among chill
dren, and there has been no accepted
method treatment among medical men.
The new method consist of the iniec-
tion Of anti-toxin of diphtheTia. Out Of
eight cases, five have been absolutely
cured without any subsequent complica-
tions, and two show improvement. The
only uncertain case is than of girl
of 10, who was at the hospital Ia days
before she was treated with the anti.
toxin.
Particularly interesting were the cases
Of three brothers, from 9 to ia years
old. Another brother had died at home
after an illness of two days. Eight
thousand units OF anti-toxin were given
To each boy every rs hours Two of
them are now entirely we'll, and the
third Is rapidly improving.

Chicago, Feb. 17.--Wheat opened to-
day with one Of the widest markets
in the history Of the Board Of Trade,
with galleries packed, and frantic
crowd fighting in the pit.
The bears pounded the market from

Gates bull clique attempted to test the
market by letting ont a few hundred
thousand bushels through some Of the
twenty.two brokers employed by it.
Nav. which closed last night at
s1.2456, was beaten down by Che on
slaught Of the bears from sl.2l1s, to
S1.l9M and s1.20.
There WAS immense settling for
profits by the 1inand-outers, and the
climax came when tile Gates pool re-
solved to steady the market, took over
100000 bushels at s1.20, stopping the
decline and throwing the shorts into
fresh panic.
