obtained from railroad employees. The. testimony shows that the Standard at one time, if it does not now. devoted a fund to the purpose of obtaining this information. It has frequently happened when the supply of independent oil in a particular territory was low and shipment was peculiarly necessary, that the shipment has unaccountably gone astray. Information also appears to have been given the Union Tank Line, a crea- ture of the Standard, concerning the whereabouts of it's cars while such in- formation was not furnished to other owners of tank cars and some discrim- inatlon in tank car mileage in favor Of the tank line, is shown for one railroad"
 The assertion is made that it Is the practice of the Standard, whenever a competitor erects a storage tank to which the oil Is transwerred from the tank car. to reduce the price of oil in that locality to such a point as to make the business unprofitable to such a com petitor, while prices were maintained In other localities. There was much com plaint that the railroads allowed the Standard to erect it's tanks at convenient points on the railroad r-gnt of way. and declined to accord this privilege to the independent refners. The commission says it is satisfied that such discrimina- ton has been very generally practiced in the past

 The report shows that "at present every considerable railroad in the United States is buying of the Galena Oil com pany, one of the Standard companies. most of its lubricatng and signal oils, the prices paid for lubricating oil which is of three grades being substantially the same to the various roads.

resolution was adopted:
We favor the reelection Of George Peabody

for him for that ONCE.
By this action the Republican party,
which has been split since the deadlock
on the Senatorship began in the last General
Assembly. 10 reunited. Col. Colts with
drawalf from the race a few days ago simpli-
fed matters for the Republican leaders,
although the opposition to Wetmore re-
manned strong in the Colt wing Of the party.
The recent formation OF the Rhode Island
Republican League. which Endorsed Wet
more. threatened to still further widen
takes from the league its reason for exist
ence. although it's alleged anti-machine
m anti-Brayton sentiments are supposed
to remain in force.
The resolution to-day was presented by
Col. Frank w. T~illinghast, chairman OF
the executive committee and the former
Colt leader.
Many issues besides the Se~natorship
are to come before the next General As
sembly. District court Judges are to be
elected and other remunerative positions
now held by Republicans are to be dis
posed OF. By avoiding a fight among
themselves over the S~enatorship the Re-
publioans believe they can win a big ma
jority in the next Assembly.
