Intervention In tho Nlcaraguan nit•

lav when Unite,1 States Consul Mof-
att ui Bluefldds telegraphed the state
leparimcut that a petition with 700
signatures had been presented to On-

has heard nothing from General Es-

Fifteen million words Is the esti-
mate of the talking done by congress
during the session which ended Sat-
urday. This includes the speeches for
which leave to print was given, which
will be Inserted in issues of the Re-
cord until all have been put In type
and circulation. A dozen weary sten-
ographers rested Monday, and, taking
It over, pronounced it the busiest ses-
sion of congress they had ever had.
This Is because of the steady flow of
rhetoric and the inclination of the
I speakers to go It two at a time.
Appropriations made by the session
of com*ieS;j just closed amounted to
1.027.i:n.l06, according to official

DOMESTIC.
The Atneri< ins interested In tho
loH'i and bitter llnht waged by rival
lnt< rests and German newspapers
against the Deutsche Vacuum Oil com
pany, one of tho branches of the
Standard Oil company, have Just
scored a litg victory, the public prose-
cutor, after a thorough Investigation,
having decided that no necessity ■ \-
Ists for action bv his office against tiie
concern. An Important part of the In
v stigation was in connection wl ii
the work of F1 L. Quarles, Vm ricau
manager of the German companj <
: ale.- department, and the prosecutei
declares no evidence ol anythluu .m.
ranting prosecution was found against
Mr Quarles. The costs of the entire
Inquiry will be borne by the si r and
the result constitutes a notable tri-
utnph for American interests in Ger-
many.
The wholesale prices for p lined ill
have been reduced from one and one-
half cents to one cent a gallon by the
Standard Oil Company, making the
prevailing price throughout the < >'.ui

than seventy per ci nt of the refined
output of the country.

STATE LOST IN LAND CASE
SABINE ISLANDS AWARDED TO
LOUISIANA
About 8000 Acres Involved in Decision
by Interior Department History
of the Case.
Washington.- \atmg S-vretary of
Interior Pierce has rever.-od the gen-
eral land office ami held that tho Sa-
bine Islands, which have been the sub.
Ject of controversy between the States
of Gouisiana and Texas, are within tile
jurisdiction of Gouisiana and ate part
of the public domain of the United j
States. The land ofll'e tvas \;rdeied
to carry out the Instructions issued In
1UU7, to have the Islands examined to
establish their swampy character with
the view to Issuing patent to Gouisi-
ana, the State having made applica-
tion for It. These Islands embrace
nlMMit K000 acres of land, which are
close to Beaumont, Texas, oil fields
and are believed to be rich in oil and
gas.
The case was argued twice, before
the general lain! office and the secre-
tary's office, interior department, As-
sistant. Attorney James .), Walthall,
represeiitiru Texas, and Branch T. j
Masterson appeared as claimant un-
der patents Issued by the State of
Texas.
Texas contended that the Interna-
tional boundary commission, appoint-
ed by the United States and Repub-
lic of Texas, which surveyed tie boun-
dary along the west bank of the Sa-
bine River In is In. followed the east !
channel around the Islands in contro-
versy nd also built up a strong case
on prescription and tn • admissions
of the Gouisiana map maket that the
Islands were in Texas. On the oth-
er hand, the land office of Texas has
made admissions that the islands were
sold by the State under a mistake of
jurisdiction.

of a letter to the commlsf-i mer of the
general laral office states tha' there I
