Unless something be done for the liberation of the nil reuntry.bankruptcy stares It in the face." The committee again insisted Upen having the system of oil production and transporta tion explained befure It could act Intelli gently. Senater Emery volunteered te de this, and gave an lutellhrent description of the pipeline system. Then he returned again te his old enemy, the Standard, and declared that when a Standard manaltempted te buy blni eue of the arguments used by the would be purchaser was that " the Htandard proposes te de this oil business alone. Oue lorilen of It msy result In less, but ether por tions pay large profit, and these who de net come with us will be crushed out." In explaining tbe cost of oil Senater Kuiery said that hn would be glad te furnish suy. beJy a birrel of refined oil at I ceutsasalioe, but under the conditions of transportation be was net pertnlttnd te de It, and it Is this ays tetu that forma oil In the grocery stores up te 10 cents a gallon at wholesale, tie could net send a barrel el oil te Schuylkill or Lancas ter because of discrimination In the transpor tation rates.

A packed aBd geed-natured audlenea waa la lulteti opera heuae en Thursday night te watch tha widely heralded Miss Ann Kva Fay "call splrlta from the vasty deep," using no cabinet wlutever " but they war urprlaed te find tha centra or tba stage oc cupied by an arrangement that served every purpose of a cabinet, and called by courtesy tba enclosure. A voluble gentleman in black delivered aa able discourse en splrltuHlitu and then Mla Fay proceeded with tha old familiar business. Mayer Morten and Mr. Hlmm P. F.by wara elected by the audlenea as the stage commit taa te supervise the proceedings and prevent fraud. Tha anoleiurn wii a light piece of frame work curtained In the front and back and having a spice at one side laced with panel ling like a d oer. The frentcurtaln had a hole In tba middle with a loose flap ever it. full ing this curtain aside, Miss Kay took a seat en a chair placed In the centre et the enclosure and waa securely tied at tha neck and wrists by Messrs. Morten and Kby. 1 A rope waa than tied around her feet and Mr. Kaby took a seat at the extreme left or the stage with bla feet;on the end of this repct. A guitar, balls, aud a mouth organ were placed In her lapand the curtain drawn. At once the band began te play, but en drawing back the curtain Miss Kay was seen te be securely tied. Then Mayer Morten was pressed Inte the entertainment The mansger said tbtt the handsemset man of the committee was requested by Miss t'ty te enter the cabinet with her, and leaving the choice te the audience, It fell upon the mayor, who blushlugly took bis place Intheenolesure Then the same performances were repeated with variations, and the performers had the bad taste te produce paper slips with the natnea et mourned and honored eltlzena of Lancaster upon tbem; and te claim that they were present lu the spirit Hisses marked this part of tbe pregramme. The trilling nature of the rett et the performance made this suggestion proleundly disgusting. The medium behind the curtains next pro ceeded te tell what cards were en top of a pack auutUed by a man In the centra aisle and wbat cards certain people were thinking el; but In thla she was net tery successful. A glass of water was placed In her lap, the cur. tain drawn and withdrawn, and the glass was between lier teeth hair dralued : a nail was drh en Inte it Imrd, a psll was placed ever her head, all behind the curtain, but very rapidly. Mr. L'by and M r. Morien took pla ea in the enclosure, the former holding both her hands and In a memeut they came out with an Iren ring ever Mr. Jiby's arm, though he asserted that he had net loosened his grip. then the loquacious gentleman gave some exhibition el bla skill with ropes. He took reluge In tbe cabinet and was speedily tied last Keth wrists were tied together and then lied te his knees, but In this condition he suc ceeded in persuading Mr. Kby te divest him self of his cost and vest, and then alter a few seconds behind the curtain, appeared with the arm el the coat and vest, the rounds et a camp steel, the baud loot" a pill and the Iren ring, all pasted our his left arm. This nun, who did the talking, then ex hibited a rough beard box made te enclese a person seated en a chair se that only the head would be visible and having a curtained opening about the loel of the waist lu this Miss Fay was placed, Mill securely bound, and the iwrreruiantes proceeded as they had in the curtained eicleaure. The committee oxamlned the ix aud found no proof et fraud. Then MUs Fay, Mr. Morten and a lady from the audience were fastened up under a curtain lu Irent of the enclosure or which the euruln was drawn , only their heads were .lilble, and yery uncomfortable they leuked. The "power," as tbey called It, then kicked up a rumpus within the en en en cloiure aud materlalirsd soma flowers bought at llehrer's greenhouse ter the purpose. Miss 1'ay then Introduced a battered platter hand and a piece or plate glass with which stie perlenued a very transparent trick. ThegUit was placed upon the backs or two chairs, nut near the root lights where the audlerii'e might watch it but close te the tuck el the PUge, then tha 'hand was placed upon it palm downwards, aud a feeble minded npirtt nas supposed te rap out answers te numerous trivial questions. The delicate balance might have been disturbed by a balr wire atrotched acreis tbe stage and brought against the band whenever neces sary. Then she tried te make a rocking chair talk but falled, and was equally unsuccess ful! with her attempt te raise an extremely ligtiTand airy table. That was the end ! Ne spirit lerms aud faces, nothing that one might net expect te see at any slelght-ef hand entertainment, nothing whatever that bore tbe least resemblauce of the supernatural though many thluks bard te explain. It is urged In apology for tbe performance that a death lu her family has greatly dis tressed the medium, She will give a private seance en Sunday night A II HAH n VUKUMHT.

The president transmitted te the Heuse to te dsy from the secretary of state, reports of consular ollieers of the United States en the extent and character of the emigration from and immigration into their respective dis tricts. Secretary Bayard in his letter of transmittal says that, taken altogether, these reports aflerd a complete representation ej tbe movements of population from one country te another, the streams In which this movement flews and the factors that determine tbe extent and direction of the stream. "Te summarize the results of this survey," says the secretary, ' would be almost Im possible, as local Influences are dominating causes, and tbe conditions in no two districts are the same. The prevailing motive of emi gration is tbe desire te secure a greater de gree of welfarn, te move from a place where their struggle ler existence Is continuous and Intense te a place where a higher de gree of prosperity may be obtained for the same expenditure of labor and capital. Thla prevailing Influence ts modified Indifferent ways, and these modifying factors are devel oped in tbe following reports. One festure of tbis subject which received little attentleu In the consular reports, viz., the countries from which the highest propor tions of eklled labor as cempared with the total emigration are derived, has been out lined by talde prepared in this department from tbe returns of the treasury department The result tends te show that wben tbe in dustrial welfare or tbe Unlted States is con sidered, Indiscriminate restriction of immi gration would be quite as mischievous aa Indiscriminate permission Is sometimes represented te ba," Fer a New Yerk Building.
