FROM OTHER SPECIMENS

London, May 5.--A fine specimen of
the Chinese Rhesus monkey, an extreme

aqui family, has been added to the col

in 1868 that The first specimen arrived
IN the gardens, and the then superin-
tende4t, the late A. d. Bartlett, noticing
that it differed from all other monkeys
in many respects, notably in it's powerful
build and the absence of tail. took it
to DIR. J. E. Gray, of the British museum
who described it as new to science. 1t
lived Tor two years in the gardens and
when 1t died its skeleton was examined
with the result that it was discovered
to be not naturally tailless animal,
but one that had its tail cut off. While
alive an examination of the animal was
impossible. as it was too fierce to handle.
The arrival of second specimen. in
1880, confirmed the result of the ne
|cropSy on the first, and the third spec
linen, which came in 1881. also had a
tail. The Chinese Rhesus is larger and
more powerful than its common Indian
cousin, and has longer hair, which is of
a generally brownsh yellow, with green
ish tinge and shades Of red on the
flanks. The face is pale flesh color. In
the winter the coat becomes very dense,

most Chinese wild animals, are but lit

to those OF the common Rhesus.

SITUATION in FRISCO
Is GREATLY IMPROVED

San Francisco, May s. - With the
increasing number OF daily dismissals
OF its subcommittee, the general mu-
nlcipal committee will doubtless soon
pass out of existence, and the direc-
ton of the affairs OF the city will be
restored to the regularly constitutes j
officials. Many OF the subordinate
bodies have reported their labors com
pleted and have been relieved from
further duty When the general com
mittee finally adjourns there will re-
main OF the various organizations that
were formed Immediately following the
days of the disaster only the commit
tee on reconstruction and the finance
committee.
The force of state militia on duty
here is gradually diminished, and those
of the regular soldiers who are not
engaged in assisting in relief work, are
doing simple patrol duty.
There has been no perceptible dimi-
mutton in the number of persons apply
ing for Tree transportation to points
outside of the city and state, and de-
spite measures taken to prevent un-
worthy persons from profting by the
generosity of the railroads, it is be-
lieved that this privilege has been abus-

large roads said that in consequence
it is likely that the givingaof free trans

Poor, Abused Standard Oil Co.
Accused Roosevelt OF LYING

New York, May S. - In reply to
President Roosevelt's message and the
report Of Commissioner Garfield, H.
Fl. Rogers and John d. Archbold, OF
the Standard Oil Co, said that their
examination Of the message and report
had necessarily been a hurried one,
and that they should at a later date
make full answer to their sharehold-
ers. Now they made the following
statement to the Associated press:
In the presidents effort to secure
the passage OF bill enlarging the pow
ers OF the interstate commerce COM
mission and just and equitable railway
rates, we have precisely the same inter-
est that any good citizen has, no more
and no less. Regarding his criticisms
upon the management OF railways or
his structures upon any acts Of the in
terState commerce commission, we
have neither responsibility nor CON
cern. When, however, he or Commits
sioner Garfield attacks the Standard
Oil Co. and uses its methods OF doing
business as an object lesson for the
purpose OF promoting his view we pro-
test.
It may be frankly stated at the out
set that the Standard Oil Co. has acted
at all times within the limits OF fair
ness and with due regard for the law
ought to secure the most advantageous
freight rates and routes possible. There
will be. no denial of this fact on our
part. The question is whether We have
at any point violated the law or pro-
prieties.
lhe present inquiry grew out Of Al
resolution adopted by congress year

Duluth, May 5.-The lake marine
strike is beginning to be felt at the head
OF the lakes more every day and this con
dition will continue until the extent of
the tie-up can be fully known. The
strike is not meeting with the approval
OF any of the interests affected at this
point There is feeling in union labor
circles that the mates, if they expect the
support of the general strike of long
shoremen. should first strike themselves
in sufficient numbers TO make good
showing, otherwise the critics declare
the strike should be called off.

ago on motion of Campbell, Of Kansas,
instructing the secretary OF commerce
and labor to investigate the oil busi-
mes as carried on in this country. We
welcomed the investigation. When
Commissioner Garfield in discharge oil
his duty, visited our office. he and his
expert were given free access to our
books and the fullest opportunity to as
certain the manner in which our busi-
ness was conducted. Frank disclos-
ures OF all our methods were made and
every criticism offered by him was met
with candid and painstaking answers.
SO conscious were we of our recti-
tude that we repeatedly importuned
Garfield to make public the conditions
existing in Kansas, but he refused. We
proposed ourselves to answer some OF
the unfair criticism upon the subject.
but refrained on Garfeld's advice, and
on his assurance that his report would
present the cases fairly II turned out
that SO lar as Kansas was concerned
that the state authrities abandoned
their aftacx. One does not care to
handy words with the United States.
It is not easy to differentiate be-
tween Roosevelt, president, and Roose-
welt, individual. He has given his adj
vice most generously on every subject,
from the sizes Of our families to the
Of federal judges, and some
error is inevitable now and then to the
most conservative man under such cir
cunstances.
We say fatty that any assertions
that the Standard Oil Co. has been or
rs now knowingly engaged in practices
which are unlawful. Is alike untruthful
and unjust"
