bid OF l06 for the whole issue came
from man named Lindsay at New

CLIMAX OF ADMINISTRATION.
Roosevelt Will Invoke Conspiracy Law
and Dissolve Standard Oil.

Washington, July s.-Dissolution
Of the great Standard OIL trust may be
the result Of the prosecutions soon to
be begun against that corporation by
the government. Assistant Attorney
General Purdy, who has direct charge
OF the preparation OF the prospective
cases, returned to Washington today
from st. Paul, where for two weeks he
has been in consultation with Special
Counsel Kellogg, Of the latter city, and
District Attorney Morrison, of Chicago,
and, while he refuses to discuss details
as to the plans under way, there is good
authority for the statement that the
administration is aiming at a more
vital object than fines or even impris-
onment for the trust offenders.
The cases against Standard Oil will
be made under the conspiracy act. 1t
ia OF recent memory that conspiracy in
restraint Of trade in violation OF the
provisions Of the Sherman antitrust
law resulted in the dissolution Of the
Northern Securities companr, More
recently the government won another
sweeping victory in the courts and dis
solved the Western paper trust. The
same sort Of success met the movement
against the elevator trust in California.
The breaking up of the monster
Standard Oil combination may come as
the eliminating grand climax OF the
Roosevelt administration, and in the
light of today's developments persons
in Washington have recalled to them
with striking force these words spoken
by President Roosevelt shortly before
the adjournment of congress:
1.-THE prosecution of the Standard Oil
company is the most important thing
in this administration"

Foreign Minister Gullon the new COM
mercial treaty between the United States

LOSS LOOMING BIG.
San Francisco Insurance May Reach
Total Of $500, 900, 900.

San Francisco, CAL, July 2l.- II
now looks as II the insurance risks in
the burned district Of San Francisco
will foot up considerably more than
$3.50, 900, 900, and the total may go up
to nearly $500, 100000. The esti-
mates OF insurance managers have been
crawling upward all the time, and the
figures given In reports filed by the
companies with the New York Insur-
ance department indicate that even the
highest estimate which they have made
is too low.
Several weeks after the conAagration
q detailed estimate OF the amount Of
each compauy's risks fixed the total
insurance Ein the burned district at
$685., 1858, 900. Thirty-three companies
which have made sworn returns to the
New York Insurance department, sd.
NIT liability OF S1o2, ,499, 900. The
estimate of their liability was SOC, 6,069,.
900. Taking the same percentage OF
differences for alb the 108 companies
which we're included in the list, the
total OF their liabilities would be
placed at $289, ,271 900.
An addition must be made for
Lloyds, for the Underground" con-
Germs, and for the companies which
had some risks here but were not
named with the 10S. This addition
may be estimated at $4,000 900,
which brings the total up to about
$3.50, 900 900.
From this calculation the German.
of Freeport, and the German National
are omitted, as their returns to the New
York Insurance department have a Pc
culiar look. On the basis OF the re-
turns Of the thirty.three companies
above referred to, the German, OF Free
port, and the German National, would
be involved to the extent of s6,213, 900
in the disaster, but they admit loss
Of only $2,817, 900.

st. Petersburg, July Is. - II reports

morning are grounded on fact, the su.
preme crisis In the affairs ot the Rus.
sian nation is impending, aud within q

map Of Europe will be changed.
According 10 reports, the csar, after

the reforms demanded by the people,
and has decided that the arbitrament
Of physical force shall be appealed to.
He has, through Generals Trepofi,

cers of the army. and has decided that
they can be depended on, II il should
come 10 clash with the people, and 30
he has decided that from now on the
wishes OF the czar and his wishes alone
shall be considered.
This means, should the rumors be
true, that the douma will soon be dis
solved and that the new cabinet will
represent more than ever the wishes OF
the governing classes and disregard the
demands Of the people already made
through the DONNA.
None Of the members OF the cabinet
who could be reached last night would
discuss the matter. However, the de-
lay in announcing that the various de-
mands Of the douma are even being
considered, the concentration Of tried
troops at all canters where advocates OF
a constitutional form OF government are
strongest, and the generally defiant at
titude Of the bureaucracy, all tend to
lend credence to the report.
Disturbances in all interior Russia
continue, and riot, murder and rapine
are the rule. In many camps pitched
battles between soldiers and malcon-
tents are reported, but all details are
completely censored and are not per-
mitted to become public.

OUTLINED IS HUSBANDS.
Death Finally Claimed Mrs. Caroline
Rogers at the Age Of 1873.

One hundred and thirty-three
years was the age of Caroline Rog-

the positive statements of her nu-
merous relatives be true. There is
no positive documentary evidence
that the woman's age was as rep
resented, but that she was far be-
yond the century mark seems to
admit of no doubt.
Perhaps the best proof that she
was the oldest woman in the world
is the age of some of her relatives.
At her funeral the chief mourner
was a grandson of the deceased,
himself a wrinkled, white-haired
man, nearly 90 years of age. There
was also a granddaughter aged 65,
and these mourners were comfort
ed by their own children, one of
whom of is herself grandmother.
The deceased left a daughter aged
90, who resides in San Diego, and
other daughters who reside in va
rious parts of the South.
Mrs. Rogers, according to the
statements of her relatives, was
born in Mobile or near there, on
March II, 1872. 1t is also stated
that she was married fifteen times.
Her last husband died many years
ago.
