OIL MONOPOLY. The United Pipe Lines Break Silence. HOT SHOT FOR PRODUCERS. — Warning Circular from the Company. Om Oiry, Pa., Sept. 6, 1878. It apy evidence wore needed of the deep importance Attached to the HERALD movement against the oil monopoly it could readily be furnished here by the rash for that jouroal woon the Eastern train arrives iw the morning. In a short time the usual supply i# exbausted and the articles become a subject of dis- cussion on the On Bxcnange and among the producers, while the jocal journals publish a summary of the HERaLp’s views, ‘THE UNITED LINE OFPIUERS SPEAK. Hitherto, while the oil producers bave, through their committees the general council, given their trivances to the public, so that universal sympathy has been aroused in their favor, tho Standard Oil Company and the United Pipe lines have steadily re- fused to admit or reiute the charges against them; seemingly urrogant and ttronohed behind their enormous capitals they calmiy awaited the ‘Hogic of Your correspondent vainly sought while in New York to unseal the lps of Messrs. Bostwick, Rockaleller and others—properly considered jeaders tn these powerfal close corporations—and the bro- kers, shippers.and merchants there, even while curs- ng the Standard, did not care to put themselves on tne record as an enemy to that association of enpit lets. So, inthe oil region the writer found it most difficult to receive an authoritative statement trem apy but the producers’ side, aud such were tendered him oy the score and with a profusion which almost inclined one to the view that there was a strong de- sire to'array public opinion on their side, An inter- view, however, with Mr. Joseph Seep, who represents Mr. J. A. Bostwick (Standard’s interest) bere, which Dwent to the Hexatp, broke the ice, and yesterday I was favored with an inieresting statement from tbe officers ot the United Pipe lines, who consented to flepart from their policy of silence and give the Hurawp their side of the case, ~ As this is the com- pany who have to answer the quo warranto proceed. jngson the 11th ins. mal the new departure deubly interesting. ‘Tne president of the United Pipe lines, Captain J. J. Vandergrilt, at firstvold the writer he had previ- ously beeo strongly disinclined to give any ssatement to the newspapers in answer to the calumaies of their enemies, but he thought be would go so Dow, und BS the HuRacp was moving 80 prominently in the master, it the starement of the United jines would be puv- lished exactly as made it would be furnished. Upon this promise being given, an apposatment was made by Captain Vandergritt, at bis office, in the alternoon, where the writer found the President, one of the Ex- ecutive Commitice, Dan O'Day; the Treasurer, J. RK. Campoell, and the General Mauager, E, Hopkins. All pptered into the conversation, und answered the writer's questious apparently with the utmost frank ues.

The Probable Action of the United States Government. Asthe dumping of street sweepings inte the bar- bor and the channels leading into the barber of New York will attract renqwed attention, owing to the action of the gencral government in aszisting the Board of Commissioners of Pilots (as an. nounced in the HekaLp’s Washington de. wpatches yesterday) im restraini contractora guilty of such conduct, a reporter of the HRaLp was sent yesterday to ascertatn the views of the several boards im regard to the matter. Com- missioner Erhardt was found at his apartments at the Rockingham, to whom the reporter stated the purpose of bis visit, In reply the Comzissioner de- clared that he did not believe very serious measures were contemplated by anybody. ‘You see,” he said, “there is pretty much always something new about streets or garbago or the damping of offal, but thero 1s generally very lite basis for all the talk. Lost spring we suc. ceeded tn getting some of the strects thoroughly clean, whereupon there was load complaint from a good many quarters, There was talk of tndicting us, and delegations trom the car and stage companies called upon the Mayor to see if we could not be prevonted from keeping the strects toocleun, It was a rather funny expericnce, aud, I believe, it we actually suce ceeded in getting the whole city clean at one time we would be indicted for our paioa Drivers desire « ttle dirt for their bor: feet, and complain whenever the stroets are too clean. ‘Then, another subject that gives a good deal of trouble 1s cats. There 1s some profit in a dead horse or a dead dog even, bat to Frank Swift there is no money in dead cats while his contract compels him to rid the city of them, Whit he does with them, I don’t know, but it some- times bappens that the shores of Long Island are strewn with dead kittens, Then all the catcalls in the world couldu’t equal the cry that comes up from Coney Island, I have got rather used to this kind of thing, but I don’t believe that offal 1s dumped in tho lower bay any more than! believe any very serious measares are contemplated by anybody.’’ “But, Commissioner, the dead cats which some. times swim about Long Island’s seagirt shore could not get there of themselves,’’ the reporter suggested, “Sight not other things get off the scows beside cats, especially as tho scows have fulso bottoms and no- body cau seo what is going on below??? ‘Some of the scows might be emptied into the harbor in this way, but the contractor who indulged im the practice would soon be dztocted.
