Oil as British Warship Fuel.

LONDON. November 26.-The sailing OF
the admiralty owned tank steamer Pc
troleum for Port Arthur. Tex. marks 4
new departure in the British navy. as it
is the first time that the admiralty has
tried the experiment of importing cargo
of oil in it's own ships. 1t is anticipated
that the Petroleum is only the forerunner
of a small feet of acknowledgement tank
ships which will be continually employed
in meeting the increasing requirements
of the British navy for fuel oil.
Oil is quite Ousting coal from the fur
naces of the British mosquito fleet, and
plan to dot the coast line of the Brit
ish Isles with Oil depots where torpedo
boats may repIenish their tanks has been
decided upon by the admiralty. A fleet
of naval tank steamers which will bring
the fuel direct from the oil shipping ports
is considered to be the cheapest and most
satisfactory method of keeping these
depots supplied.

Fighting the White Plague.

RICHMOND, Va, November 26.-Tha
two dispensaries established by the health
department for the free treatment of con-
sumptives were formally opened at noon
yesterday. In each place a corps of con-
sulting physicians (seven in number) and
a detail of nurses are stationed. The
free treatment of cases of tuberculosis
was made possible by an appropriation
for the work by the health department of
the city. A campaign against the plague
has been mapped out. The free treatment
will be applied not only to fully developed
cases of consumption, but to Kidney all
ments as we'll. which are recognized by
medical science as consumption in it's
incipiency.

vote for whom they, or the combina.
ton, pleased.
The President thwarted this game IN
more than one State. In Michigan he
saw to it that the legislature in de-
claring for him, also declared for Taft
as second choice. He also had some
work done in both the Dakotas. In
other States, it was claimed by the
President and his friends. favorite
sons were being put up by this COM
bination to prevent the State declaring
dent would like to have. These moves
are admitted to have been possible,
for several legislatures have acted,
either by formal resolution or by an
informal canvass. But here in Wash
ington there is a general disposition
to discredit the story of the $4,000. 900
fund. That is a whole lot of money
and furthermore it is almost incon-
ceivable that the rich corporations
would set apart that amount of money
for such a purpose. The entire Re-
publican campaign fund in the men,
orable year of 1896 IS said to have been
but $4,000, 900 and it is no secret that
the corporations were solicited on ev-
cry hand to secure that amount of
money 1t has recently been stated
by one close to the President that his
Republican campaign fund in 1904 was
81, SOC. 900.
Many say the entire story of the con-
spiracy is a big joke. If Senator Pen
rose ever said it, say these sceptics, it
was only as a joke, told for the eff
feet it would have upon the Secretary
to the President. Senator Penrose de-
MES the story in the most emphatic
terms, says he knew nothing about a
S., 000, 900 fund and never said anything
at a banquet or elsewhere about
SIS, 900, 900 fund.

| PROBABLE NEW
TRUST COMPANY

Rumors of the organization of a new
trust company have been going about
the streets for several days, and yes
terday tip was received to the effect
that definite information on the SUBJ
ject could be gotten at the new offices
Trent was visited, and in answer to
questions admitted that the rumors
probably had reference to the plans of
his firm.
Our business, as you know" said
Mr.. Trent, "outgrew our old offices so
that we recently had to move into bet
ter-equipped and more commodious
quarters, and make some additions to
our force of helpers. Since we have
done this, growing demands have made
it seem desirable that we also change
our form of organization into that of
an incorporated trust company. Some
of our larger clients have exposed a.
wish to secure interests in the BUSH
ness, and the only way we can accom-
modate them is to incorporate and is
sue shares. We feel that our friends
are entitled to share of any dividends
they may help us to make, and we are
not unwilling to divide with them
Under the Hawaiian laws trust
company is required to have capital
ization Of 100000 fully subscribed, with
at least $4,000 paid in. Our assets
now considerably exceed the last NAM
ed sum, SO that we are in a position
to incorporate at once with an estab-
lished business, if we decide to do so.
In the event of our Incorporation, we
shall admit as shareholders a number
of our present clients whose business
we are handling, and also a limited
number of others who would like to
do business with US on a reciprocity
basis"

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 5.-Real
old fashioned hot stuff in political
news has been fairly rolling out of the
White House in recent days. There
have been presidential politics and
railroad politics and corporation pol
itics. Theodore Roosevelt is in the
ring stripped for pugilistic work. He
Teller and Hearst and Penrose and
Odell and everybody else that does not
seem to agree with his political and
legislative plans.
The climax of series of decidedly
interesting days-tf1e most interesting
days to the newspaper correspondents,
perhaps, since the Spanish war-came
with an authoritative statement from
Secretary William Loeb Jr., on Thurs
day that there was a great conspiracy.
backed by s5,O0O,000 of actual money in
bank, to defeat the Presidents 1egis-
lative plans and likewise to kidnap the
Republican party and to nominate the
next candidate for the Presidency. The
story seemed incredible but it was put
out by Mr. Loeb with the Presidents
full knowledge.
Senator Boies Penrose, of PennsyIva-
mia, was the particular hero of this
tale, some parts of which many peo-
pie in Washington still find difficulty
in accepting. It seems that along
about March 8, Senator Jonathan
Bourne, of Oregon, gave a feast at the
Shoreham Hotel to select company
of men in public life. About the board

ter, of Montana, and Penrose, of Penn

New Mexico, and William Loeb Jr.,
secretary to the President They con-
sumed $3.50 worth of food and drink
and during the evening, according to
reports, Senator Penrose remarked
that there was capitalistic combina-
ton at work in this country to defeat
the nomination of a candidate OF
ideas for the Presidency.
As the story went Mr.. Penrose an
that a fund of $1,000, 900 had
been raised for this campaign and was
to be used in securing delegates and
where it would do the most good. And
furthermore Mr.. Penrose was repre-
sented as saying that he would have
the control of Pennsylvania IS dele
gates to the next National convention
and with that large number of dele
gates in his inside pocket he expected
to be able to name the candidate him
self, as that number of votes would
likely enough be a balance Of power.
This statement was given out by
Secretary Loeb, Immediately after
President Roosevelt had had an ex-
ceedingly interesting bout with Rail-
road Magnate e. H. Hartman about
contributions for the Republican cam
fun in 1904 and in which it had been
shown that the President and Mr..
Hartman were very closely associated
in that campaign to elect Higgins as
Governor of New York and in which
