Irish Nationalist Convention Re-

Dublin, May 21.-The Nationalist

the Irish bill introduced in the house
Of commons May by the chief secre-
tary for Ireland, Mr.. Birrell, was ac-

imously adopted John Redmond's res

resolution declares that the bill "is
utterly inadequate In its scope and
unsatisfactory In its details and should
be rejected by the Irish nation; and
we regard the introduction Of such a
measure by British government
pledged to home rule as confirmation
Of the position we have always taken
that any attempt to settle the Irish
problem by half measures would be
entirely unsuccessful and we call upon
the Irish party to oppose the bill In
the house of commons and press upon
the government with all their strength
and power to introduce measure for
the establishment of native parlia-
ment with responsible executive
power over all purely Irish affairs
and at this crisis in the fortunes of
Ireland we invite all the Nationalist
forces of the country to unite In SUP

DISCRIMINATION ALLEGED.
Complaint Made Against the OIL Trust
In Minnesota.


ST. Paul, May 22.-What is probably
the first step in proceedings intended
to GUST the Standard Oil company
from doing business In Minnesota was
taken when Joseph Bartles of the
Bartles OH company of st. Paul, to-
gether with oil dealers from Stillwa-
ter and st. James, lodged a complaint
against the Standard Oil company
with Secretary of State Julius
Schmahl under the provision Of the
Hinton bill passed at the recent ses-
sion of the legislature. They were
not. however, prepared to file their
complaint In writing and as no action
will be taken by the state until this
is done they left to consult an attor-
ney and have the complaint drawn.
According to the complaint made
orally to the secretary of state the
Standard Oil company is selling GER
tain quality Of oil In st. Paul under the
name Perfection" for cents a gal
Ion and that 1t is selling the same
quality OF oil under different name
in Saltwater and st. James for 10
cents, where the difference In the
freight charges owing to the longer
haul to those points would only war
rant charge Of one-quarter of a cent
more than in St. Paul.

POWER OF OIL TRUST
Control Of Transportation Is Its
Most Powerful Weapon.
STRANGLESALL COMPETITION
ecathing Report Of Commissioner OF
Corporations Smith to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

Washington, May 20-The position
Of the Standard Oil company in the
petroleum industry is the subject of a
report just submitted to the president
by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioners
Of corporations. Commissioner Smith
sums up the result of his investiga-
lions as follows:
"The history and present operation
throughout the past thirty-five years
a substantial monopolization of the
petroleum industry of the country. a
deliberate destruction of competition
and q consequent control of that in
dustry by less than a dozen men, who
have reaped enormous profits there
from.
THE commercial efficiency of the
Standard. while very great, has been
directed at Gripping existing rivals
and preventing the rise of new ones
by securing for itself most unfair dis
examinations in transportation facili-
ties and rates.
II Is stated that In 1904 the Stand
ard and AFFILIATED concerns refined
over "a per cent OF the crude oil run
through refineries; produced more
than 86 per cent Of the country's total
output of Illuminating oil; maintained
similar proportion Of the export
trade in Illuminating oil and trans
ported through pipe lines nearly nine
lenths of the crude oil of the older
delds and 80 per cent Of the crude oil
d the nidcontinent fields"
Tho report says that the monopoly
enjoyed by the company does not rest
on the ownership OF the source of the
oil supply, which amounts to about
one-sixth of the total, but that its
growth and present power rest pri-
narily on the control Of the transpor-
tation facilities"

that all difficulties had been smoothed

CONCERTED ACTION BY BEARS
Bad Break in Prices on the Stock

New York, May 21.-There was a
bad break in prices of stocks during
the day which was unexplained by
any immediate news developments.
Sentiment in speculative circles was
very much depressed and brokers
were throwing over stocks without
finding any sufficient demand to alb
sorb them. Activity by an organized
bear party In the speculation was sus-
pected owing to the sudden and unac-
countable nature Of the large selling.
The tactics OF the bears. however.
were successful In inducing much
liquidation. Rumors we're In constant
circulation Of intended borrowing on
large scale by corporations, many
Of these rumors being denied as fast
as they got into circulation.

HORSE TRAINS ON BEER.
Robin Hood Gets a Bucket of Amber
 Fluid Every Time He Wins.

If Robin Hood, the six-year-old race horse, could talk he could say he is fond of beer. He gave every evidence that he relished it yesterday at the Jamaica track. After he had won the second race he drank quart of the foaming fluid without taking long breath.
 Robin Hood "cools out" after race on beer. While other horses, more temperate in their habits, quaf large quantities of water he indulges in his hops, and no pan-handler on Park Row will plead and beg harder for drink of the amber fluid that cheers than will this thoroughbred son of Kingston -Beele of Haywood He will rub his attendants shoulder, decline all water and do everything but ask for his GUS tomary foaming "growler." When it is forthcoming he shows his delight by snorting and tossing his head viz orously.
 The son of the once mighty King ston is quite an old toper. He has be- come so addicted to the beer habit that he now has paunch such as a police man would regard with pride He is fat and thriyes under this peculiar method of training, yet he races with a clear head and speed that might indicate his anticipation of what awaits him after the contest is over.
 Robin Hoods victory yesterday was his fourth consecutive purse of the Ja- maica meeting. He must have been anxious to earn his reward, as he made all the running and got home two lengths in front of his field. \ After the race, and while Robin Hood had his muzzle poked deep with in the pail which held his beer, J. P. Mayberry, his owner, told how his horse quit the ranks of the Young Thoroughbreds' Temperance associa- tion." It occurred this way, according to Mayberry:
 Robin Hoods rubber was drinking a bottle of beer one day while passing the horses stall door, and the old fel- low poked his nose out and fairly pleaded for a swallow In spirit of fun the "swipe" placed the bottle to Robin Hoods mouth and he drank every mouthful of the beer. Another bottle went the same way Thereafter the horse showed that he was fond of it, and as reward he was handed a bucket of beer every time he won a race.

 The volume is affectlonately dedicated
 to Prof. William Henry Hunt, command
 ant of cadets, who was later lieutenant colonel in the army of Northern Virginia. The text is simply written but most entertainingly written. Among the open ing pages the writer tells of the reunion of the survivors of the cadet corps held in the college grounds on May 19, 1904 Cor respondence was opened with twenty-nine survivors, after a lapse of forty-two years, and list of those present at the reunion is given. Writing of a fellow student, the author gives little intimate glimpse of his own experiences:
 "I doubt if on many occasions Jim ever 1 looked into his geometry or trigonometry,
 while I would work every spare hour of
 daylight and until taps and then sneak off into a dark corner with a candle,
 where I would not be discovered, or by
 the firelight, looking for the elusive solu- ton long after the other boys were asleep. At recitation, while I might strug- gle through in an anxious mediocre way,
 McKinstry, who half the time didn't know what the lesson was, would go to
 the blackboard, have Professor MeGregor
 submit the theorem to him, make the
 drawing and give the solution with exas-
 perating ease and expedition,
 But can we not see very plainly the personal qualities which have secured to the author his marvellous professional
