ACCORDING TO THE DAILY MAIL "The Tliree Interests Enter Into Working Combination, to Con trol the .World's Market , tor Petroleum. LONDON., July 30. In its issuo of this morning, the Dally Mall -asserts that there la no longer "any doubt that tho -three mon ster oil Interests of Rockefeller, Rothschild and Nobel have entered into a working agreement. ."Thus," says tho -paper, "without any publicity the greatest trust the world has ever seen has sprung Into being." This combination, the paper says, has been hinted at in messages from Batoum and Moscow and It has been more clearly Bhown in the offers made to Russian oil exporters by representatives of the Nobel and Rothschild Interests for the absorp tion of the whole of their output. The exporters have been forbidden to sell through the interests of their agency ex cept at a price arranged by them or to fight tho combined forces of the three oil giants. This offer was made openly and with the idea of maintaining prices, and it has been refused, Russian export ers preferring to fight. It was doubt less this combine, continues the Dally Mall, which Induced the Russian Gov ernment to Issue invitations to an anti trust conference. The spokesman of the- great combine declare it means a fight to the death and that the indepen dent exporters cannot hope to win. EMANCIPATION OP RUSSIANS. Campaign Begun by an Exile at Stuttgart. ST. PETERSBURG. July 13. Peter von Strove, the noted Marxist, who went abroad in IflOL when forbidden to live In St. Petersburg, has begun the publication in Stuttgart of a Russian periodical under the title "Oswobozh denle" (Emancipation). In his prospectus, Von Strove proclaims the extreme of his paper to be emancipation of the Russian people from police oppression, and the attainment of individual and social lib erty. In his prospectus he says: "The social reaction which followed the murder of Alexander II has completely disappeared and the political reaction is constantly being strengthened. The gov ernment is making its last desperate ef forts to perpetuate an antiquated order of things. We shall defend the necessity of granting to all classes equal rights to tmtrammeled development and we insist upon an Immense change. "Emancipation Tvill not be the work of one class, party or doctrine. We shall Illumine all sides of Russian life; the intelligence, especially of tho youths in schools, the position of the organs of local self-government and of the press and the struggle for religious liberty. We shall criticise the acts of the govern ment, thus supplementing the oppressed press in Russia. "We shall show that economic improve- A ment can come only through participation of the people in tho government by elec toral representation and shall expose the exploitation of tho peasantry by high pro tective duties and excessive taxation. Wo ehali not be moderate. Let emancipation he openly proclaimed by the common ac tion of revolutionists and moderates. The oppressors of the people cannot meet euch a challenge squarely given." This Journal will be circulated In Russia by sealed letter-post. It recalls the fam ous "Kolokol" (Bell) of Herzen, which was the organ of emancipation during the early years of Alexander II's reign. It found Its way regularly onto the desk of the then Emperor and was read by him eagerly, though strictly forbidden for cir culation in Russia. The influence of this journal with Alexander II was at one time very great. Ten thousand three hundred of the 22,409 Finnish youth "who were called upon to take the military oath had complied with the order July 6 and only 1D6 had expressed a wish to serve. The greatest percentage of compliance, 73 per cent, was in Abo Blorneborg, where the Bishop of Abo's conciliatory Influence was most effective. The average percentage of compliance -was 4G.G. The predominantly Finnish Provinces have proved rather more stub born than thoso with a mixed Swedish population. KITCHENERS FINAL DISPATCH. "Warmly Praises Milner and the Co lonial Governments. LONDON, July 29. Many pages of tho Gazette today are filled with Lord Kitch ener's final dispatch on the Boer War and his mention of officers and men who distinguished themselves while he was in command In South Africa. Tho s.ame Issue announces the General's new title as "Viscount Kitchener of Khartoum, and of tho Vaal, and of Asphalt, in County Suffolk." In his last dispatch, Lord Kitchener said of Lord Milner. the British High Com missioner: "In many difficult situations it was the greatest relief to me to feel that I could always rely on his unfailing sym pathy and assistance." Referring to the deep obligation of the army to the colonies, he said no request of his had ever been refused by tho colonial governments, and their consideration and generosity only equaled the character and quality of the troops they sent to South Africa or raised in the country. Lieutenant-Colonel Girouard, a Canadian officer, is warmly praised. Lord Kitchener saying "he is an officer of brilliant ability, and I wish him all success In his new capacity as head of a great civil department." Almost all the leading Generals were commended, including the writer's broth er. General Fred Kitchener, who was de scribed as an exceptionally keen and en ergetic officer. General Lord Methuen. Lord Kitchener said, had done more than most officers toward maintaining the high standard of personal courage, modesty and humanity which characterize the Brit ish army. "I chare his own deep regret," said the dispatch, "that his wounds pre vented him from remaining In the field until the conclusion of peace." MARRIED BELOW HIS HANK. Compulsory Retirement of a German Privy Councillor. BERLIN, July 29. The marriage of Privy Councillor Leohnlng to the daugh ter of an ex-Sergeant in the German Army has caused Herr Leohnlng's com pulsory retirement from the chief director ship of taxes for the Province of Posen. Herr Leohnlng, who was also Finance Councillor, and who was a man of wealth, has been circulating a pamphlet among his friends explaining his acceptance of a pension July 1 at the instance of Herr von Rheibenbaben, the Prussian Minister of Finance. The publication of this pamyhlet in today's papers has caused much comment, both socially and politi cally. In this pamphlet Herr Leohnlng prints the interchange of communications between Berlin and the highest adminis trative officials of the Province of Posen. The Ober-Presldent of Posen told him. he Toad nothing to say again his fiancee, but that it was Impossible for him to consent to 'the marriage of one of the highest of ficials in the province with a daughter of an ex-Sergeant; 'that it was as if the Colonel of a regiment proposed to do such a -thing. A Ministerial Councillor or a superior government Councillor might pos sibly marry a Sergeant's daughter, but a Privy and Finance Councillor could not. Tho Ober-Presldent said also that the commanding General and the police presi dent shared his views on the matter. The father of Herr Leohning's wife is now a secretary in one of the government offices at Posen. Some -weeks after his marriage the Fi nance Ministry at Berlin asked Herr Leohnlng to retire, which he did. Herr Leohnlng affirms that his opinions in the matter of the 'Ministry's Polish policy had nothing to do with his retirement from office, but notwithstanding thl3 it is be lieved the opinions probably did have somethng to do with the Councillor's re tirement. Herr Leohnlng affirms also that most of the high Prussian officials of the province of Posen condemn the government's eraj policy lowara mo .roles, tne prosecu. tlon of Polish newspapers, and the sur- MINEORKERS MAY ASK FEDERAL JUDGE JOHN JAY JACKSON. The United Mln Workers may try to obtain the impeachment of Federal Judge John Jay Jackson, of Went Virginia, who restrained them from holding meetings to Induce men to quit work and Imprisoned a number of the orfanlxers for violating an injunction. The plan of action Is not definitely outlined, but It is probable that the Impeachment proceedings will be begun soon, it Judge Jackson, After a final hearing, refutes to dissolve the Injunction. Secretary Wilson admits that the miners contemplate this course, and a complete transcript of the case, including the complaints and Judge Jackson's decision, will be prepared for sub mission to President KooMvelt and the Senate. The miners also Intend to give to tho public the evidence In the case. Wilton says that the miners will not ask tho President to Interfere with the Injunction, as he says they realize that the Pres ident Is without power as to Injunctions; but if the habea.8 corpus proceedings fall to release the organizers the President will be asked to pardon them. The habeas corpus proceedings will be begun as soon as the papers can be made out. A- velllance of Polish societies. Herr Loeh nlng, although favoring measures, to Ger manize Poland, is of the opinion that this should be carried out lees ostentatiously. The pamphlet Is th subject of noticeable editorial articles In the Liberal news papers today, which predict attacks upon the government in the diet. The Vos slscho Zettung says It is Impossible to write about the matter coolly, and that it reads like the time's preceding the battle of Jena, when Prussian aristocracy reached the acme of class Insolence. A Liberal Victory. LONDON, July 29. The bye-election for members of the House of Commons to represent North Leeds resulted in the elec tion of Rowland Barren, Liberal. Mr. Barren received 753S votes .to 6761 cast for Sir Arthur Lawson. Conservative. This seat also was vacant by the elevation to the peerage of William T. Jaakson, Con servative, who had sat for North Leeds since 1S90. Tho loss of the state for North Leeds In tho House of Commons has filled tho supporters of the new Balfour Adminis tration with dismay. The utmost inge nuity of tho editorial writers of the Con servative press is quite Ineffectual In ex plaining away the conversion of the Tory majority to a Liberal majority. The Morning Post, which is the frankest Con servative critic, admits candidly that out side of the Birmingham area, which it says is a "Chamberlainlto". preserve, thero is seemingly no seat in the House on whose loyalty the present government can absolutely rely. Lieutenants "Will Be Cashiered. LONDON. July 29. A military court of Inquiry called to investigate the scan dal caused by the alleged persecution of Second Lieutenant Gregson, of the Second Life Guards, has held av secret ses sion at Windsor.

NEW YORK, July 29.

KING IS ABLE TO WALK XO FOUNDATION FOR SINISTER RU MORS ABOUT HIS CONDITION. Preparations for the Coronation Continue Future Movements of the Royal Fatally. LONDON, July 23. The latest and moat reliable information indicates that King Edward's doctors were not mistaken In fixing August 9 as the date upon which His Majcety could be crowned. Tho sin ister rumors which have pervaded all classes for the last few days now appear to have lost that semblance of probability which made even the members of the Cabinet nervous lest another postpone ment of the coronation might be necessi- gen-jtatcd. The apprehension that King Bd ward would be unable to stand the strain of the coronation ceremony has been FOR HIS REMOVAL. greatly lessened by the announcement that His Majesty Is now permitted to use his feet and, with the aid of a stick, has done a little walking. A late telegram from Cowcs, saying that nearly all the restrictions upon the King's diot have been withdrawn, has beea welcomed as evidence that the re cent ominous deductions were drawn without due allowance for the doctors' extreme caution. While the King was testing his ability to walk, two Jackles stood at his side. After this experiment, which boded well for his fulfilling the necessary coronation ceremony nt West minster Abbey, King Edward sat on the deck of the royal yacht and watched the races of the small yachto off Cowes. According to the present arrangements. King Edward and Queen Alexandra will leave Cowes either August 6 or 8 for Buckingham Palace and will return, to tho royal yacht August IS, when the en tire fleet will pass before King Edward and salute him, thus making a second naval review. After his return to the yacht, tho King Is expected to take an extended cruise to the northward and subsequently to spend some weeks at Balmoral, where preparations for the ar rival of Their Majesties have beeh com menced. Sir Joseph C. DImsdale, Lord Mayor of London, expects King Edward to visit tho City of London the week ending October 11. when a great luncheon will be held in the Guild Hall, which Is to be followed by a royal procession through the South of London. HERO "WORSHIP AT THE CAPE. Ovations to Generals Botha, Delarey anu Dewet. , CAPE TOWN, July 29. Generals Delarey and Botha were given an ovation yester day at Stellenbosch. They were driven to the Town Hall and each of the car riages wero drawn by GO students. At a luncheon which followed, the students acted as waiters. General Botha, in a feeling address, said the day of sur render was the most painful of his 'Ate, but now that it had been done he prayed earnestly that his hearers should con sider it God's will. Although Afrikander nationality, in a manner, had been buried, it would remain the most important fac tor in the social life of South Africa. General Botha paid a tribute to ex Prosident Steyn's abilities as a s fate man. "Now let us stop bothering our selves about politics," said the General, "and try to make ourselves happy in South Africa, because wo have no home elsewhere." The hero worship of tho Boer command ers was strikingly illustrated at the mar riage of General Delarey's daughter to his secretary, Ferreria, at the Dutch Re formed Church. Tho approaches to tho edifice were packed, and the congregation cheered Generate Botha, Dewet and De larey as they entered tho church. Dewet was carried from tho church on the shoul ders of his more enthusiastic admirers. When the bridal party appeared, the con gregation arose and cheered until the min ister threatened to stop the ceremony or clear the church. GOTO SUCCEEDS LEDOCnOWSKI. Looked. Upon oji n.

AGITATION IN FRANCE ABATING. Peaceful Solution of Catholic School Question Is Expected. PARIS. July 29. The agitation in con nection with the circular issued by Pre mier Combes with regard to the closing of the unauthorized congregatlonall3t schools has abated greatly, even In Brittnny, ow ing to the circumstances that none of the recalcitrant schools will be forcibly closed until special decrees to this end have been signed for each department. In many de partments such action will not be neces sary, as the congreeallons have submitted, and, moreover, the decision of the gov ernment not to close thoso schools for which authorization was not asked, owing to misinterpretation of the law, has had something of a quieting effect. The lead ers of the agitation still talk of organ izing popular protests, but tho life seems to be out of the movement, so far as Paris is concerned. The Socialists have de termined upon counter-demonstrations to every clerical meetln. Some disturbances in the proxinces, especlallj' in Finlsterra, are' probable when the police close the schools; but there is evidently a lull in the excitement for the moment. The only incident reported today was that a group of women at Rodez, in the Department of Aveyron, attacked a lay teacher and compelled him to take refuge in tho. communal schools. The teacher was followed by a crowd shouting "Down with Combes." The arrival of the gen Oarmes prevented further mischief. German Pig-iron Tariff. BERLIN, July 20.

Count von Posadowskl-Wehner, the Imperial Secre tary of State for the Interior, opposed a plea to prohibit importation based on alleged attempts of the American trust to unload Its goods In Germany at ruin ous prices. He declared that such prohibition would Injure other German industries. In con clusion ho said that without the protec tive tariff of 1S79, the revival of German trade would have been Impossible and that It would be a criminal mistake to abandon It now while foreign countries were combining to form a great protec tionist union.

Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased.
