Laden Lighter.

Capt. James Barr. in charge of the lighter

day morning when she was to be taken by
a tug TO the foot of Jay street.
Shortly after the lighter had been de-
serted by the men, Capt. Barr was buried
under several tiers of coffee bags which
slipped and fell on him. All his struggles
to free himself were unavailing and his
cries for help did not reach the men on the
other vessels in the n~eighborhood. He
finally became unconscious. All through
Saturday night. Sunday and Sunday night
whenever consciousness would return.
CAPT. Barr would renew his cries and his
efforts to free himself, but no aid came and

bags or change his position.

made fast to the lighter and started with
her for the Jay street dock, but IL was sOme

STANDARD OIL IN >RUMANTA.
Unsuccessful So Far owing 10 Insult able
American Methods.

SprctdI Cd0Is DsSpdfch 10 TBE Sun,
BCCBAREsT.' Nov. 18.-The MOniteuF
du PetroIe Roumdin reports that the
annual meeting OF the Roumaine-Amer-
icaine Company. the Standard Oil Com
pany's Rumanian branch, was held at
Bucharest lately. The proceedings were
secret. The MoniteHr points out the fact
hat the Observation-Disclosures Company
has been doing business in Rumania since
July, 1904, but has not yet published its
balance sheet. slthoug h the commercial law
is most strict on this point.
The Moniteur suggests that the reason Of
the non-publication of the balance sheet is
that the company has no favorable news to
communicate to the public. This tallies
with II U correspondents knowl-
edge of the situation. He has ascer-
tanned from competent sources hat the
affairs Of the Roumaine-Americaine Com
pany are distinctly in bad shape. The
reason given for this ia that the Rumanian
oil fields we're already in the hands Of Ger
man banks when the Standard Oil Company
made its appearance.
Encouragement and the stubbornness Of
the company's managers in clinging to
American technical methods are also re-
sponsible for the company's n~on-success.
II is said that the managers are now awak-
ening TO their mistake and are sending back
their American boremaster and employing
Rumanian drillers, and are adopting the
methods in use by other Rumanian firms.

night a committee was appointed for the
purpose Of recommending TO Congress
through President Roosevelt an artistic
and metric system of coinage.
Thomas G.. Elder said: The progress

by the artistic development of its coinage,
and the United States is the only nation on
the globe whose coinage has not kept pace
artistically with its development. Nearly
all Of the foreign coins surpass ours in
beauty. although this does not enhance
the ease with which they are handled.
Il have already submitted the design
for a twenty dollar gold piece to Mr.. Roose-
welt, which he approved. IL is now in the
hands Of the superintendent of the Mint for
investigation as TO the cost of making.
in regard to the metric system Of coinage,
we will have TO adopt hat sooner or later.
The coin should he of met ric weight and

Colonization in Mexico

The following news from inc City of Mexico goes to show that the country below the line is getting ready to boom with settlement and development just as soon as the Colorado river is gotten under control so its waters may be used for irrigation in that part of the coun- try. Just whom the Mexican Land and Colonization company represent has not been made clear, but it is well known that the Lower California De- velopment company is the English corporation operating below the line with headquarters at Ensenada.
 The Diarlo Official of July l3, pub llshed the government concession to the Mexican Land and Colonization company and the Lower California De- velopment company, represented by the well-known corporation lawyer, Elm lilo Velasco. The two companies are conjointly to establish agricultural col onies in the Peninsula of Lower Cali fornia. They will establish at least l5O families of Mexicans within zone reaching from the boundary line with the United States to 100 kilometers into Mexican territory. The coloniza- tion is to commence within three years of the date of publication of the decree, or two years from the time that the waters of the Colorado river shall be- gin to be utilized for irrigation purposes within Mexican territory. wenty-five families then to be located on the tract of lands. The colonists who had set tied on those lands under the conces- sion of July 2l, 1884. shall be duly recognized in their rights as such.
