Further startling disclosures of the manipu lation and control of the petroleum Industry by the Standard Oil monop oly are made In the report of Her bert Knox Smith. Commissioner of Corporations. Discriminations In prices are exposed ln the report which charges that In the business of selling petroleum products ln for eign countries the price policy of the Standard OH Company has been to sacrifice the Interests of the Ameri can consumer for the purpose of se curing the Standard's foreign, busi ness. The figures show a very remark- able excess ln the American nrice above the foreign prices, particular ly during the latter half of 1904 and the first half of 1905. During the latter half of 1904 the nrlce aver aged for the United States 10.3 cents as contrasted with 6.92 cents In Ger many, 6.42 cents ln the United Kingdom and 6.49 cents In Den- mark. The excess of the domestic price, after allowing 1 cent for dif ference In quality, ranged at that time from 2.38 cents to 2.R8 cents.

By withdrawing "plugs" from the switchboards and grounding the wires communication on a number of circuits was inter rupted and ln some Instances entire ly shut off. From the developments of yester day and Inst night It seems certain that the Order of Railway Tele graphers will support the commercial telegraphers In their strike, and It Is not Improbable that the railway tele. graphers' organization will become more deeply Involved ln the strike should It be of lengthy duration. While the strike at this time has the appearance and to some extent the effect of a general strike, such Is not the case. A large number of commercial operators are still at their keys and will not go out until Instructed to do so by President Small, In Portland the operators of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Companies struck last night. The Western Union men were called out by President Branln of the local union at 7:21 o'clock. The Postal operators left their keys at 7:44 o'clock. Both strikers were very or derly. The messenger boys struck last night at 11 o'clock after holding a meeting at which they formulated a demand for a considerable Increase In pay. Fatal Flood in Japan. Victoria, B. C. Aug. 13.

II Harrlman and hi. two sons attended church at Trinity Episcopal Cathe dral here Sunday during a break In the Westward vacation trip which the railroad magnat Is making In bis special train. The Harrlman party was accompanied from Chi cago to Omaha by President Hara nan, or the Illinois Central. Mr. Harrlman nr. out a long In tervlew Sunday afternoon. Many of nis statement! I however, been made before. fL declined to com ment, upon neceiA tcouri actions against corporation!.' In answer to questions, Mr. Har rlman said): "I think e shall have a coal shortage thli winter, due to the gen eral lncroaw In the consumption of coal by raion Qf the great expan slon of all Hnea of Industries all over the oountry, and also to the fact that soma pines ara not able to turn out as muck as they might because of a lack of labor, snd then there Is the shortngD of freight cars to be reckoned with. And to this car shortage I want to sny a word In reply to th general charge that the railroads ire wholly to bllTme for car shortage. The charge Is unjust ln many respeetg. Numerous causes conspire to bring about a shortage or congestion r car. where the peo ple know nothing, and they are causes for which the railroads are noi responilble and cannot avoid." A. P.

Chicago, Aug. 10. Following the lead of the telegraph operators em ployed by the Western Union Tele graph Company In Chicago, the tele graphers In nine other cities through out the United Statea quit work yes terday. The BOO men employed by the Postal In Chicago, who belong to the same local of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union as the Western Union operators, and who declare that their working conditions with the company are unsatisfactory, took advantage of the situation and. quit at 6 o'clock. With the walkout of the Postal employes, Chicago last night was left with about 35 operators endeavoring to transmit the business of both tele graph companies, where, under nor mal conditions, fully 1,600 men are necessary to do the work. The other Western Union offices which became Involved In the trouble together, together with the number of men who quit work, are: Salt Lake City, 36; Helena, 40; Kan sas City, 330; Dallas, 105; Fort Wortri, 40j Colorado Springs, 10, and Denver. 83. In New Orleans the men employed by the Postal Telegraph Company left their keys to enforce demands made on the company several weeks ago. France May Have to Stay. Paris. Aug. 10. In spite of the firm Intention of the French govern ment to keep within tbe terms of the Algeclras convention ln Its dealings ith Morocco, the French press clearly foresees that France, unless the situation rapidly Improves, naa entered upon a long and heavy task. The newspapers expreBS the opinion that France, upon which the chief burden of restoring security ln tbe disturbed country will fall, may be forced to occupy ln turn all Moroc can ports and then probably be com pelled to undertake a punitive expe dition to Fez, after which It would be Impossible to withdraw, as was the case with the British In Kgypt. As the British bombardment of Alex andria ensured the prestige of Great Britain In Egypt, so, It Is argued, the French bombardment of Casa Blanca will have a similar effect In Morocco An expedition to Fez, the newspapers point out. would, like the British vie tory at Tel el Kebir complete the parallel. 8trlke Making Fuel Scarce.' Denver, Aug. 10. Vice President A. D. Parker, of the Colorado & Southern Hallway, says the compaay put to work 25 more men yesterday and that In a few days he will nave the road In normal condition. Orand Master P. H. Morrlssey, of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, says that the strikers are making heavy Inroads on the ranks or the strike-breakers and that most of the Imported men leave as soon as they earn of the strike. This the com pany denies. Today's developments show a serious shortage of coal . If Operators' Demands Are Refused General btnke Will Follow. Chicago, Aug. 11. The strike of the union commercial telegraph op erators will be universal throughout the United Status and Canada within 24 hours, according to National Sec retary Russell, of the telegraphers' organization. This statement was made by Mr. Itussell after he had been Informed of the action taken by the men In New York, who, at a meeting there today, decided to hold a walkout In abeyance until the lat ter part of tbe week. "This strike niovement, said Mr. Russell, "has come to a point where there can be no backing down. The telegraphers have been trodden on long enough by the companies, auj now that we have the opportunity we are going to use all our strength to enforce our demands. For several weeks President Small and myself have been holding the telegraphers back, and have been advising concil iation; but they have taken matters In their own hands and we are going to stand by them. No union man will be allowed to work with anyone not belonging to our organisation, and this means that tomorrow morning, when tho business of the wek b gins, the strike will become univer sal. We cannot go half way In this matter now. Tbe strike has been precipitated by the men themselves without tbe sanction of tbe national officers, but we are now working In unison and anything that the 0111 clals of the various unions through out the country have done ln calling strikes meets with our hearty co operation." This announcement waa made by Mr. Russell at a mass meeting of tha striking telegraphers held in Brand's ball Sunday afternoon. Tbe hall seated 1,500 persons, and so great was the demand for accommodations that several hundred of the striking operators were unable to gain admit tance to the building and remained oq the streets ln the vicinity until some of the early arrivals had left the hall. The Order of Railway Telegraph era was represented at the meeting by National Secretary Quick. Mr Quick informed the strikers that his organization was at their disposal both morally and financially. "We have $1,000,000 ln our own treas ury," Bald he, "and It Is at your dis posal. Your fight la ours, and we will stand with you until the end." Before the mass meeting the 320 union telegraphers employed by com' panies using leased wires was held. At this gathering brokers, news agencies and commercial organiza tions, Including the big packing houses, were represented. A resolu tlon was adopted declaring that this class of labor was underpaid and that the various firms would be asked to sign a wage schedule and also to employ none but union telegraphers. It was decided to let the private- wire men prepare and present their own schedules to their employers. The broker-men will present their schedule at 10 o'clock Monday morn ing. The broker-men will ask for a minimum of $30 a week. The men employed by the press as sociations presented their request at 7:30 o'clock Sunday night, and the employers will be given 34 hours to comply with It. The schedule pre sented calls for $35 a week for six nights' work, and 70 cents an hour overtime, eight hours to constitute a day's work, with half an hour for lunch. Tbe operators employed by the news companies and newspapers AFTER BIGGER GAME Bonaparte VIII Get Officials ji Harrlman Lines. WOULD SEND OFfENDERSTO JAIL Proposes to Proceed Against Princi pals in Violations of Ante iTruat Laws. New York, Aug. 8. A special dis patch to the New York Times from Lenox, Mass., sent under today's date says: That criminal prosecutions will be taken In the near future as a result of the Interstate Commerce Investi gation of the Harrlman railroad sys tem was the information obtained here upon authority this afternoon on the virtual eve of the return of At torney General Bonaparte to Wash ington. Mr Bonaparte waa asked If action, personally, against Individuals would be Included in the prosecutions. .He replied somewhat emphatically: "I have noticed a good many complaints that criminal prosecutions against trust magnates and sentences of Im prisonment for them have been very Infrequent and, in fact, for practical purposes unknown. It Is perfectly true that, In my opinion at least, a better moral effect would be pro duced by sending a few prominent men to Jail than by a great doal of litigation, however succesaful, agalnut the corporations they controlled. "Some time since two corporations and their respective presidents were Indicted Jointly for violation of tha anti-trust law. If the corporations were guilty of such. It would be hard for the lay mind, at least, to see how their presidents could be Innocent. Nevertheless the Jury convicted the corporations and acquitted their presidents, "It Is the avowed purpose of tbe department of justice to prosecute criminally any one who is really re sponsible for violations of the anti trust law, wherever It can do so with any reasonable probability of suc cess. It does not care to prosecute mere underling who are known to everyone to have acted under the di rect authority of their superiors. "If it can get a case against any or the superiors auch as justifies a rea sonable hope on the part of exper ienced lawyers that he can be pun ished personally the department will undoubtedly take advantage of tbe opportunity as soon as It Js pre-. seated.
