Garfield, fhief of the bureau of corporations, to make a thorough Investigation of the Standard Oil Company's business and ascertain if that corporation is violating any of the anti trust laws. The in vestigation is to he made at once. This action is independent of the res olution adopted by the House of Repre sentatives, providing for snch an in vestigation. 1$ had been contemplated by the president for several days. Rep resentative Campbell of Kansas who se cured the passage of the resolution by the House, in a conference with Presi dent Roosevelt outlined the crisis that haa come to the Kansas oil industry. Agents of the bureau of corporations are being hurried into the field to probe everywhere for evidence that will show violation of the Federal laws. When Commissioner Garfield called at the White House later in the day to confer with the President he was given specific Instructions to begin with Kansas The dwrges of Representative Campbell in volve the railroads of Kansas, which, he says, acted in collusion with the Standard (Ml Company in driving out of Imslunss its competitors in Kansas, tfc* Humboldt Refinery and the Morse Crude Oil Company. The Humboldt Setneiy had a market for fuel oil at W from the Stand aid OH trust, the railroad rate from Humboldt to Kansas City was suddenly raised seven cents per 100 pounds, | ohlch drove the Humboldt Refinery to the wait Another specific instance of this char- I' actor is related in the case of the Moran Crude Oil Company, which was com pelled by the railroads to pay an ad- 1 voce of 84 cents per barrel in freight rates, and on this account was unable to continue business. Mr. Campbell pretented a statement signed by R W. Rawlins and William M. Connelly, members of the advisory committee of the Kansas Oil Producers' association, and said that in substance it contained the information furnished by him to the commissioner of corpora tions, as follows: "We charge that the Standard Oil Company has endeavored to secure a monopoly of the oil business of this •tete from the beginning of its develop ment; that it has prevented other com panies from entering the field to com pete for the oil trade. Also I that there exists a conspiracy between the Standard Oil Company and the Atchison, Topeka A Santa Fe railroad to prevent other parties from handling oil or purchasing oil in Kansas. In support of theee charges are submitted facts and figures from the books of I. M. Knapp, in hi* office at Channte. Kan., which show that S4B per car for oil was charged from Channte to Kansas City, while the rate on a car of •took, cattle or hogs was $25.50 and on a car of strawberries was but SBO. In June 1904, notice was given that on August 15,1004, the rate on crude oil would be raised to 17 cents per 100 pounds in carload lots from Channte to Kansas City—an increase of 70 percent. And the Stimdard's pipe line to Kansas Oity was completed about August 15, 1904." Concluding the memoralists charge that the Standard Oil's "crimes" are against Kansas and all the other states, against individuals, commerce and trade — the government itself— against hu manity, that the combination be dis solved and its officials punished as enemies and malefactors. Again the Senate has intruded into the forum of constitutional construc tion bv trying to decide a drawback point while considering an appropria tion bill. Here's where the bouse can aesert its prerogative and a grand mix up be provided for the three branches of government. President Roosevelt's lengthy mes sage to the Senate on the Santo Domin go negotiations is likely to pull up that censorious body as sharply as President Polk did the senate of his day, when he asked advice on the Oregon boundary question. Although it had been get ting ready to condemn President Polk for making the settlement be had in mind yet when confronted by the issue It shrank from advising rejection of the p!an and the policy of the administra tion prevailed without further cavil, i President Roosevelt impressively ex- 1 hibits the dilemma in which our govern-. ment finds itself. He shows that our government has done all it can to avoid I entanglement in Santo Domingo affairs and has finally concluded to take action 1 "only because It became evident that 1 failure to do so may resnlt in a situation fraught with grave danger to the cause of international peace. " "The present course of land-fraud in dictments m Oregon resem bits that of admitting a slave and free State to the Union to preserve the balance of tbe Senate. One day a Senator is indicted; tte next a Representative. "—Ex. The Borough Election.

The sensational event of last week in Russia, was the assassination of the Grand Duke Sergius, who was blown to pieces by a bomb, thrown into bis car riage as it was leaving his residence in the Kremlin, Moscow last, Friday after noon. The assassin was arrested and gloried in his deed. Sergius, who was an nncle and close advisor of the Oar. made himself ob noxious as Governor of Moscow,and af ter Vladimir was tbe most hated man in the country. The Czar, Vladimir and several others have also been sentenced to death by the Terronsts, whose object is to force a constitutional government by killing off the most determined au tocrats. All the students of the Moscow Uni versity left on accouqt of their dissatis faction with the Goverment, and the school is closed. Admiral Togo and bis fleet started South for Japan, last week, and may go on to Madagascar. The Japs are preparing to invest Vladivostock with an army of 500,000 men. The New York agents of the Japanese Goverment have ordered seventy-seven locomotives from the Baldwin firm in Philadelphia. The cost will be nearly a million dollars. Yesterday there was more peace talk in the papers. Japan has indicated her terms, including an indemnity, the amount of which is not stated, and it is said the Czar and his advisors, princip ally upon the advice of the Emperor William, is willing to come to terms. Conferences regarding peace are also being held in London and Paris. Admiral Togo and his fleet are re ported in the Indian Ocean.

KIT WWTHJEJW. 10 Wiirm Mn* IHfc TESTS FOR DIAMONDS j SIMPLE METHODS BY WHICH ONE MAY DETECT IMITATIONS. The Hardnesi of Genuine Stone, Its Resistance to Hydrofluoric Aeld and Other of Its Peculiar Proper ties—Colored Diamonds. If you doubt the genuineness of your diamonds or stones which you contem plate purchasing it is not necessary to submit them to an expert. By study ing the following methods of testing these gems, says the Columbus Press Post, you may become your own ex pert. For the first lesson take a real dia mond and an imitation. Drop them in glasses of water. The imitation wiil blend with the water and become al most invisible, while the real one will be distinctly visible, shining out white ly through the liquid. Dry and clean the two stones, and on the flat side of each put a tiny drop of water. On the real the drop will hold its globular form and can be led about with a pin point. The drop on the glass one will spread. Study the two stones with a magnify ing glass. The facets of the false one are even and regular. On the other they are of varying sizes. The reason for this is that a diamond cutter with a good gem will sacrifice symmetry to weight, preferring to leave some Blight irregularities in the planes and edges than to reduce the stone's value. The material in a false stone l>eing of little value, the cutter makes as finished a Job as he can of it, the appearance counting for more than the stone it self. If a real diamond be used as a minia ture reading glass, aided by a large magnifying glass, a tiny dot on paper appears clear and clean. Substitute the false stone, and several points or one badly broken one will be seen ow ing to unequal refraction. Then you can try the familiar experi ment of scratching a sheet of glass. Because your stone wiil scratch does not prove Its genuineness, however. Try to break the glass evenly on the scratch. No other stone can cut through the outer skin of a sheet of glass and give certainty to an even fracture like a diamond. Your true diamond is proof against the hardest file, but the instrument will easily scratch any imitation that has ever been made. Having scratched your pretty bit of glass till it is worthless, drop it and the diamond into hydrofluoric acid. Be fore long the glass will be dissolved, but the diamond will not suffer at all. Then there is still another experi ment. Take a bit of stuff with red and white markings, pass the stone to be tested over it and closely observe the result. If the stone be an imitation the colors will be distinguishable through It; if It be a diamond no dif ference of color will be appreciable. A genuine diamond rubbed upon wood or metal, after having been pre viously subjected to the rays of the electric arc, becomes phosphorescent in the dnrk. This cannot be .".aid of any of the imitations. If the stone to be tried be covered with borax paste anil after being well heated In the al cohol flame dropped into a glass of water the proof will be Instantaneous. The glass imitation will fly into bits, while the genuine stone will not be :if feeted. Finally, try to crush between two hard plates a diamond and an im itation and learn the difference. After the diamond the sapphire is the hardest stone. With her more beauti ful sistPr she possesses also the quality of resisting the attacks of the file, but she is, however, cloudy in appearance and of n milky hue. The topaz is slightly yellowish and surrenders to the cutting teeth of the file. There are a greut ntunl>er of white diamonds, but t pure, clear, transparent stone without a shade of color Is more rare thau Is often supposed. Besides white diamonds there are some which exhibit the shades of red, blue, green, yellow, brown, black and pink. Ileat sometimes causes a dia mond to change its color, and after a time the color thus acquired becomes permanent. Yellow diamonds, or those commonly denominated "off color," furnish the greatirst variety of shades and some of them exceed In beatify all other stones of that color. Specimens of canary colored <lin monda are by no means rare. They may almost be said to be common. A pink or rose colored diamond in of great value, and the red diamond, sur passing tbc ruby in its magnificent col oring, is considered tlio most beautifn! of all the precious stones, being ex ceedlngiy rare. The one bought by Paul, czar of Kussla, weighed ten carats and cost him two and one half million francs. A perfectly black dia mond ll almost as rare as a red one. For beauty the blue stones come di rectly after the ml diamonds. Tbose possessing the deep blue, and In this respect resembling the sapphire, are In deed most beautiful gems, differing from the sapphire only In quality and by the magnificent fiery colors peculiar to the diamond. The only true blue diamonds come from the mines In In dia. The varieties of green are not so rare as the blues, reds, blacks and pinks, but those of grass green hue like the beautiful emerald are seldom found. Where they do exist, however, they sur pass In brilliancy the finest emerald. In place of the Brazilian diamond, which of late years lias become quite scarce, Cape diamonds of much In ferior value and brilliancy are often 3old. To be able to distinguish between these gems Is an accomplishment pos sessed by the few. A factor In th* I'roMrm. Blanche liocs she love him? darn— ITow can she tell?
