true the battle will be more than inter-
csting-it will be red hot. This district
is now represented by John Kronmiller,
republican.
In the fourth district it is presumed
that Representative John Gill will again
be a candidate for denomination. An
other man who is being doomed by MS
friends is Aristides s. Goldsborough, sec
rotary to Mayor MahOol. The friends OF
Go.dsborough assert that Representative
Gill is advancing in years and ought 10
make way for a younger man. TO TINS
claim the Gill adherents have made no
reply. And so the situation STANDS De-
tween the Gill and GOldsborough forces.
The Star correspondent is in position TO

orbits had been gradually reduced in
size and rounded up under the secular
action of a resisting medium; that the
satellites likewise had been captured by
their several planets, and had had their
orbits transformed in the same manner;
finally, that the moon had been captured
by the earth. and the craters on its sur
face had been formed by the impact OF
satellites when the moon revolved among
the asteroids or farther out,
The time involved in the formation OF
the solar system was to be reckOned in
billions of years. and something like 400. :
600 coo years may have elapsed since the
moon was captured by the earth. In
conclusion, he said. all the principal
phenomena of the solar system We're now
fully explained in accordance with known
mechanical laws, and astronomers had
gained an unexpected light on the origin
of the systems Of the universe.

Pelted by Falling Satellites.

The small obliquity of Jupiter gave the

face of the moon showed how all planets

ENGLAND IS ON =.
VERGE OF OIL WAR
Standard Co. and Competitors at
Odds On Price of Product-Truce
Will Expire in Short Time.

LONDON. July 29.-All efforts IL
patch up the old agreement between
the Standard Oil Co. and its English
competitors have failed and the two
sides are today resting under truce
which will expire within short time.
Then the English companies must
either come To the Standards terms
or engage In rate war that threatens
To be fought To the end. Indications
are today that the English companies
will fight.
The. Anglo-Americap OIL Co, which
is the Standard In Great Britain.
holds the strategic position and IS
said TO be anxious for the fight. The
English concerns frankly say they will
be satisfied with peace that brings
an equal division of the trade.
For years the American company.
the Home Light Co. and the British
Petroleum Co. both British concerns.
have practically controlled the oil
trade of England. Under the agree
'.nent eItered into by them. the price
OF oil was maintained at a standard
figure. The agreement ended in June
anu NhS ahStO ~ ANANSNN
to renew IL.
Instead IL offered the retailer a
contract giving reduction OF one
cent gallon. The retailer would
have welcomeJ the reduction but for
clause in the contract imposing IA
penalty of - cents on every 40 gal
Ions OF oil obtained from other
sources
The Home Light and the British
Petroleum rushed in with contracts
Offering the same reduction. but with
out the penalty clause. and rate
war was launched. The step. however.
was ill-advised. No one liked working
on a contract I'm the oil business iis
England The price varies but little
and any change equally means an In
crease. The contract, therefore. Is
likely 60 prevent the wholesaler frorl
profiting by a rising market. The
three companies declared truce and
agreed 10 stop giving the retailers
contracts for the present. They Were.
however unable 10 a gree on the fu-
ture price. Should one company lower
its price gigantic war will be pre-
cipita:ed.
