A RIVAL TO THE STANDARD. foreign Capitalists In League With the Pennsylvania OU Producers. Frem the N.w Yerk Bun. A combination la being made between some of the principal oil producer of Pennsylvania and the owners of capital for the purpose of constructing new pipe lines between the oil fields and the coast. The movement la the meat Important In the oil Industry which baa been attempted since the Standard Oil company secured Its monopoly of pipe Una transportation. It contemplates the purchase outright of wells valued at 110,000,000, the construction et competing pipe lines, and a combina tion of many of the principal producers who de net sell their wells. The Standard OU company does net own the wells which supply It with oil. It acta nominally only as a transportlen agent. It delivcri te the well owners' warehouse receipts for the oil delivered te It, and these receipts are negotiable. But as a matter of fact, the Standard Oil company, as everybody" knows, practically controls the price of oil, and It is all-powerful ln the Thn American renresentatlve of the foreign capitalists who are Interested ln the scheme is a gentleman who has placed many millions of foreign capital In this country. He said when asked about the matter yesterday: " Yes, negotiations have been for seme time in progress, and ara new well ad vanced for the purchase of Pennsylvania oil wells and the building of new plpe lines. It Is Intended te de the same busi ness as the Standard Oil company, but in combination with the production of oil. In the present situation about all the profit gees net te the producers but te the transportation agent, which nominally Is all the Standard OU company claims te be. That empany Is obliged under its charter te transport all tlie oil offered it, but by a twisting of its privileges it completely con trols the oil market, and the actual pro ducers or oil ere at Its mercy. The com bination which Is new underway is simply te enable producers ln the oil region te market their product without any manip ulation or prices and squeezing or big profits by monopolizing middle men. All the well Included In the enterprise are in Pennsylvania." " De you propeso entering into active competition with the Standard Oil com pany?" " Net unless It Is necessary. We ae net going Inte the enterprise te make war. We Sropese simply te bring the product or cer itn wells te the seaport market, ir the Standard OU people start a war of rater, we naturally would try te keep our end up and protect our Interests." . Mr. J. D. Rockeroller, prosident or the Standard Oil trust, said yesterday that he knew nothing about any combination be tween oil preducers and foreign capitalists for the construction or new pipe lines.

"It Is well known that excesslve smoking produces narcot narcet ism ; the abuse or alcohol gives rise te alcoholism, and that or morphlne te merphinism. In the same way the Injudicious use or cocaine Is followed by cecainlsm, and there are at the present moment a number or patlents In the Paris hospitals under treatment for this malady. With regard te antlpyrlne, Dr. Kegnard admits that it does wenders in cases or great nervousness, and that It Is praised ythe patients. But he points out that in -disturbing and arresting the natural ac tion or the nerves by a chemical substance, although that action may be accompanied by very great pain, the penalty for such intemperance will have te be paid sooner or later. And the penalty iu question is a horrible one.. Fer among the numerous evils te which the excessive use or antipy rine give? rise are cpileptic tits."

We are having a regular Mentana winter. Fer the past week or ten days the mer cury has net been higher than 10" below tere even at midday and has ranged from that down te 41s below. Just new (11 a, m.,) It Is 30" below with "irbrlght sun and a ten rulle wlnd.- At Celvllle and Lapwal It get down as low as this, but the cold was net felt en account of the stillness of the atmosphero. Ilore, however, In splte of what Mon Men tanlans say, the air is hardly ever still and it usually blows a stiff breeze even when the mercury Is below tere. The fact of thn matter, Is that the Mon Men tana people de net knew what still air Is and have never seen the chimney smeke rise vertically In the sky. We de net suffer from the cold, as we have nothing te take us out of the garrison, and we are perfect masses of buffalo Air as we move about the pest. The nese, which Is the only exposed part, has te be carefully watched and occa sionally protected by the hand, the eye lashes freeze together and the nostrils close up with loe, but with our arctic dress we don't feel the cold elsewhere. I have hitherto accepted the theory that It cannot snow when It is very cold, but the ether day we had n snow of seme six Inches whlle the thermomcter steed 20s below r.cre. Our houses can be kept reasonably com cem com fertatlo by keeplng flres going in every occupied room, but water freezes en the window sills. We have tried te use the toboggan sllde, but the snow, though a feet deep, is tee dry te pack, and we shall hae te wait for a thaw te beat a track. We have net skated for two weeks, bocause or the wind and snow. We have net had tlie grippe hore as yet though I suppose it will be along after awhile. We have been having a regular display or "sun dogs" every ovening at sunset. This is a phenomena which Is said te belong te very cold temperature. They consist or two bright spots resembltng the sun, but mere Irregular in outline, and are sometimes joined by a rainbow. Last winter I saw a double set, ene day durng a snow storm. Tlie first rainbow was nearly three-feurths or a circle, encircling the sun, and about ten or twenty degrees from it the outer ene was Indistinct and did net extend high above the horizon. F. S. F.

He says, with much earnestness, that his bowling out was accomplished by henater Quay, who effected his work by reaching President Harrison through the ear of Postmaster General Wanamakcr. This was done by tlie senator in erder te avenge the persistency shown by Captain Walters ln net acting In concert with the ether statesmen or the Chicago convention, and the captain then and there saw in his eye and In his actions that he must expect something from the senater in retaliation when the first opportunity should present Itseir. The captain, though somewhat crushed in ills aspirations, is uet discouraged. He relies uixm his coustituents te vindicate him, inasmuch as he stoutly refused te bow te Quay and thereby repicsented his poo peo poe ploby voting first, last und all the time for nrmnral Harrison.

Chester and ether counties of Pennsylvania, who have been cherlshing the hopethat the building of Claus Sprockets' big sugar reflnery ln this city would be followed up by a heavy do de mand for sugar beets, and that these would be a profitable crop for them, have been hugging a delusion.

This is it : T "Inasmuch as an impression prevails that the sugar refinery I am new building in Philadelphia Is te be used for refining beet sugar, in view of which purpose I am festering sugar beet culture ln the East, I doslre te say that, for the preseut at least, my entire interest ln the culture or the sugar beet and manipulation or ltssncchar ine product is confined solely te the state or California. "'Inqulrles received upon this subject being numerous, necessitates the issuing or this circular reply. ' 'Clauh Sprkckel.' " "There would be no sense iu a farmer going Inte the culture or sugar bcets," Mr. Bunkland exolatned. "unless there was a factory ler tne extraction ei tne sugar from the beets.

Brlce was last evening nomi nated for United States senator, le succeed Henry B. Payne, by the Democrat le caucus orthe Ohie Legislature. The nomination was effected en the second ballet. Seventy Seventy threo of tlie soventy-nlne members word present, and two orthe six absentees sent letters anneuncltigthat they would support the caucus nomlneo. Brlce was born In Denmark. Ohie, en the 17th or September, 1815, and is the son of a Presbyterian min ister. After having rocelvod a common school education, he ontered Miami Uni versity, situated at Oxford, Ohie, but in 1801, at the age or fifteen, he left that Insti tution te loin the Union army. After a year's service lie withdrew front the army and returned te Miami University and graduated with distinction. Early the next year lie organized Company E of the 180th Ohie Infantry. At tlie clese of the war he was mustered out at the age or tilnotecu years with Iho rank of lieutenant colonel. Shortly after his return home from the war lie entered the law- department or the ttnlverslty or Michigan. He received his degree in 18(W, and was seen after admitted te practice lu the United States courts at Cincinnati, Ohie. He went te Lima, where he mas mas mas tored'tho Intricacies of corporation law. He canto into promlnenco lit coniicellon w lib the Nlckle Plate read, of which undertak ing he and his associate, Gcneral Sumuel Themas, were tlie leading spirits. He be came the official head of the Lake Erie A Wostern, and lu addition he has large pecu niary interests In many ethor readr. Colonel Brlce' s first prominent ap e trance ln the political Held was as the represanta tive or Ohie en tlie Democratic national committee. In Hint capacity lie madn his appoarance at the St. Leuis couvent'en In 18&4, where he attracted se mtuh attention by his shrewdness and activity that he was made chairman or tlie national campaign commlttee. In that capacity he had tlie practical management or Mr. Cleveland's campaign in his hands, and figured mere conspicuously even than Mr. Bareum, Ids nominal suporler. He is noted for his koenness of perception, Is a charming con versationalist and a genial CJnipalileu. Less than nine years age Mr. Brlce had net it dollar In the world. Indeed, It might be truthfully said Hint lie was worth several hundred dollars less than nothing. Te-diiv he is five times a millionaire, and lie ewes his fortune, or, ritther, the basis of It, te acting In opposition te a command which he was te have been paid te ex cente. In 1870-80 Mr. Brlce was a lawyer in Colum bus, O. He had brains, ability, and an aptitude for his profession, but he lacked ene important fucter, without which the most profound Jurist in the universe cannot hepe te sue coed lie had no clients. Besides tills, he was woefully perplexed because there was a mortgage en Ills mother's heuse, and as thore had been a default ln the payment of Interest foreclosure was immlneitt. Tiie holder orthe mertgage was then Govorner "Charley" Fester, and he did net seem dispesed te grunt any further tlme for the BOttlement or the arrearage. Mr. Brlce could uet raise enough meney te meet the claim, although the Hen was for the com- fiaratlvely insignificant sum or $2,000, and ib made a personal appeal te the governor. " I cannot soe tlie reef sold ever my mother's head," he said te Fester, "and iniless I can get seme Ludness that will bring me a return you will sacrlllce the preperty. I want you te gtve me seme of your legal Interests te leek after. Any thine at all. I must have somethlng." " I am very sorry, Brlce," replied the governor, " but I have nothing ut all Just new mat i can tnrew m your way. i'lt tell you what I'll de, though. I want some ene te go te New Yerk for me and attend te seme matters en Wall stroet. If you want te go, and will de exactly as you are told, I will give you 500. New, that la tlie very host I have te eiler. Meantime the foreclosure orthe mortgage may be held In abeyance. All I want is that I shall be obeyed Implicitly. De you understand?" urcourse. ijiiwyer tirioejuinpou at tue chanee, and overjoyed he was te get it. The next day he packed his grip and was seen flying eastward. At that tlme thore was a deal In progress, which was prelim inary te the great Hecking Valley deal and in this Governer Fester was intor inter intor estod. He told Mr. Brlce Just what he wanted done, and warned him against being led off by the apparent Incon sistency or tlie instructions and act ing iu opposition thereto. He was careful te impress this en the am bassador's mind ut the last tnoment, wuen tne train was moving en. Mr. Brlce went among tlie bulls and bears upon his arrival and began te reconneitre. Having the porspectlve faculty toamarked degree and endewed witlt unusually koen foresight, he saw that te carry out the orders he had roceived would certainly mean a less te his ompleyor, and he determined te assume the extraordinary risk or act ing ceunter te his instruction. This, after careful deliberation, he did, and tele graphed the announcement or his dls dls dls obcdleuco te Columbus. The governor was net there wlieit tlie dispatch was re ceived, but when he did get ILiUs anger was boundless. He sent a characteristic message te Brlce asking him what he meant by such an action after being se carefully warned ami instructed le de Just tne etner imng. Te this Mr. Brlce was able te rely the sumo day: " Ilccuuse I saw u chun.-e te make 810,000 for you, und I made it." Then he started for home. It may be correctly surmised that Fester had cooled down con siderably before Ids voiituresemo agent re turned. In fact, his auger hud chimged te generous geed uature and when Brlce marched Inte tils nllice he exclaimed. Vnn linvn dnnn wall, mv hev ! se well Unit I'll share with you." Sure enough, he handed te Mr. Brlcoenc-halfof the prellt of the transaction 820,009. Returning at ence te New Yerk, und armed with information gained en his first vUlt, tlie lawyer In vested the whole ainetit lu East Tonnesoo. This netted him uhaiidxome sum. Making another turn, lie took a fiyer iu Hecking Valley and came out ahead. Richmond Terminal next took Ills fancy, and he madu another stroke of fertune, and when he saw it was tlme te quit he was rich. He alsa took a leading part in the build ing, nud afterwards sale, of the New ierk A f.'hlu-e "Nickel Plate" railroad te the .jra 3 vrntir tr-.rir ivn -r...A 1I iflH 1U1U. AlNL HA.
