The standard Oil Company,

New York, Nov. 23.-It wss learned
today on the best authority that the at
torneys for The Standard OIL Company az
ter examining the decision Of the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals, handed
down on Saturday 10 which the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey Ia de-
clsred illegal and ordered to restore to
the original owners all of Its subsidiary
companies, have come to the conclusion
that there Is little hope that the Supreme
Court will reverse the decision. THEY
expect that within thirty days from the
time that the Supreme COURT hands
doWn the final decision the Standard
Oil Company Of New jersey will go out
of business.
Believing that way, II is asserted that
the attorneys for the oil trust ere now
considering what to do. There must
be a reorganization to keep within the
law. IT Is realized that the formation
of alleged competing companies, to
operate on the lines Of the old oil COM
panles OF the United States and to en-.
gage in apparent competition, will not
do. Dummy companies would bring
the men responsible for their formation
within the scope of the criminal Law
aud none Of the officials Of the Standard
ia anxious to 90 to Jail.
The proposition to form big corpor'
alton with a cspitsl stock Of half q bill
lion to buy out all Of the small com
psnIes owned by the Standard and
which companies are within the scope Of
the court decision Is favored by but q
lew Of the lawyers. They point to The
fact that II such company were formed,
while 1t would be apparently legal under
the Law as defined BY the Supreme Court
10 the case OF the United States against
the E. o. Knight Company and Others
which made legal the sugar trust, they
believe there would be such a furore
raised by the people Of the United States
that Congress would be compelled to
legislate against 1t.

Der cent more work is necessary in order
10 complete the canal than Was con-
templated by the original estimate and
that the unit prices, due to labor con"

given the employees, have been increased

sum Of $3.50, 7O5, 200. Now 1t is $751;
pol, O00. or nearly three times the first
revised estimate, The report makes no
predictions az TO the future, which
leads many to believe that still more
money may be required to complete the
canal. 1t will be remembered that the

the enormous cost Of the Panama canal
aud urged the Nicaraguan route. 1t
