Speciel Dispatch to The Call CALL BUREAU WASHINGTON, May 4.—McLeavy rown, Director of Customs of Korea, has an international incident of con- le importance. Official reports re- ceived from Mr. Allen, American Minis- 1, show that Great Britain and e earnestly insisting upon his re- in office from which it is re- nas again been dismissed. withstanding Russia's official state- t and other Governments that r ection with the action taken wm's case, it is understood that in c circles in Seoul the disposition me upon the shoulders 1406 G STREET, N. | of the Russian Minister. It has been stated that Brown was removed because of his failure to pay interest on the Jap- | anese loan, but it is evident that the Jap- | anese Government is not concerned ovi | its failure to receive interest, as it is sup- porting Brown. Both Great Britain and Japan will, it is expected, make vigorous representa- tions to the Korean Emperor contemplat- ing Brown's restoration. Mr. Al $ | him when Brown | der instructions sent | new his representations in behalf of his reappointment. | In his first dispatch to the Government | Allen asserted that Brown's removal men- aced American interests and his mail re- | ports “elaborate on this point. Just how American interests would be injured is not made plain, as it is not probable that an- ‘other person could be selected acceptable | to all foreign governments who could per- | form the duties of the office of Director of Customs. Brown naturally has a grasp | on Korean customs affairs and is friendly to Americans, so that this Government | prefers that he should remain. | _The Brown incident is not likely to p | voke an international conflict, but the a | thoritles fear that it will be another addi tiona] cause for irritation in the relations | | between Russia and Japan, and they de- sire that friction between these two coun- tries should be minimized ‘Butterine Plant Destroyed.

MINERS IN ENGLAND MAY GO)}TDTU'E WORK They Object to Export Tax on Coal but Hesitate to Strike, LONDON, May 4.—There are further in- dications that the coal owners and mer- chants are wavering in regard to the ad- visability of urging the miners to close the pits. The divislons among the men, too, are becoming more marked. The Derbyshire mines, the membership of Which is 30,000, to-day unanimously passed a resolution against the export tax on coal, but by a small majority declded not to stop work. . — MAD MULLAH MARCHES TO OUTWIT THE BRITISH Spies Bring Information of His Ad- vance and Intention to Make More Raids. ADEN, May 4—Spies who have come in report that Mad Mullah is marching with 2 considerable force from Iassidar, four days’ march from the Tug-Dhar River northward, with the object of raiding Berbera is soon as the British force leaves Burao. A general British advance was expected May 1, but the Mullah's rapid marches caused a constant change of plans. @ . An Increase in Wages. CHICAGO, May 4.—Betwéen 8100 and 9000 employes in the forty shops of the entire Ilinois Central Rallway system nave been given a horizontal increase of 5 per cent in wages.

LT Spectal Dispatch to The Call, NEW YORK, May 4—When bankers and brokers were ready to go home to- day for a day and a half's holiday the general feeling seemed to be it was a mizhty good thing for everybody that a check had come to speculation. One of the bank presidents is quoted as saying the level of prices the past week has been altogether too high and not such as to warrant conservative loans bdn securities traded in. This man said there would probably be no combination on the part of banks to restrict loans, but there would continue to be very decided dis- crimination on the part of bankers be- tween intrinsic and inflated values. The irclination on the part of the public seems to be to regard this fortune-mak- ing as having been compassed in about six days. As a matter of fact the period of making has covered, generally speak- ing, about flve vears, more particularly speaking, about six months. The riches that have been accumulated by specula- tlon and the wealth that has been built up in trade must trace their actual point of beginning to the first election of Me- Kinley. New Millionaires Are Made. Men who were little known outside of their own communities before the elec- tion of McKinley have an international reputation as millionaires, consolidators { and combiners. For instance. few perSons outside the confines of Chicago ever heard of John W. Gates or Mpore Broth- ers half a dozen or so years ago. Gates to-day is known on both sides of the Atlantic as a gambler in anything in which he believes he can get a fair run for his money. Gates bought United States Steel shares, common and preferred, and, it is said, out | of those alone he made nearly double what he lost on his first steel and wire speculation. He and bis friends have been in Union Pacifc trading and are said to have unloaded most of their holdings on Thursday and Friday morning at long prices. Gates is put down as a winner at the close of the market to-day to the amount of 3$2,000,000. A large part of this sum has been made in the past two weexs, Other members of the “Chicago crowd” have been able to divide about $6,000,000 or $7,000,000. Fortune in a Few Minutes. Of course it is of no avail to consider money made by men like the Rockefellers and Morgan and their immediate friends. They are regarded as the greatest winners in Wall street, and their winnings amount up into the millions. few _days ago Otto Loeb, the well-krown Wali-street trader, bought 5000 shares of Union Paci- fle. It kept going up and up by seconds, and in fifteen minutes it had reached a point where he concluded to let go. He solé in just one-quart>r of an hour and made a clean profit of $35,000. FRANCE NOW WORRIED OVER EGYPTIAN QUESTION Reported Probability of Its Early Re- vival Excites Members of the Chamber of Deputies. PARIS, May 4.—The London Chronicle's report of a Franco-Russian revival of the Egyptian question was warmly discussed by the Deputies at gatherings in the lob- bies of the Chamber during the recess to- day. The general opinion was that the re- port was unfounded. Premler Waldeck- Rousseau declared that the Government did not desire to stir up the question, and M. Denys Cochin, a close follower of Egyptian developments, sald it would be a flagrant contradiction of the present French policy, and at this moment, when France wag pointing her efforts in the di- rection of Morocco and a tacit agreement appeared to have established the African continent into two vast domains—the French to the west and the English to the East—a demonstration against Egypt is most improbable. 2sageb s OBJECTION IN TURKEY TO ALL FOREIGN JEWS Italy Firmly Announces That There Shall Be No Distinction Among Her Subjects. ROME, May 4.—Signor di Martinez, the Under Foreign Secretary, announced in the Chamber of Deputies that Turkey had twice in 1900 asked the representatives of the powers to intervene with the ob- ject of preventing forelgn Jews from set- tling in Ottoman territory. The first time the embassies replied that they could not take the measures demanded. The second time no answer was given except by Italy, which country explicitly refused to make any distinction among Italian subjects | must begin within thirty da; thirteen boxes of cigars, was sentenced t abroad. b The San Benito County Oil Company en- | three years in San Quentin. > MAY 5, 1901. T0 GEASE WORK Los Angeles Companies May Close Down for a Time. Radical Steps Proposed to Do Away With Over- production. All prodgucing oll companies in the State have rece!ved the circular letter sent out by a committee concerning the proposed Combined Petroleum Producers’ Assocla- tion. From advices received from such comparnies as have taken the matter un- der consideration it appears certain the sentiment of the producers is favorable to ths general plan. Included in the pow- ers of the assoclation, as provided, are building of pipe lines, rallroads, tank | steamships and also to charter steam- ships. With the sale of lands by a com- pany to a third party the shares sub- scribed for in the association revert to the association unless the successor in owner- ip. of the lands shall subscribe to the ntracts and agreements entered into by the selling stockholder upon the prior con- sent of the association. It is expected the decision of ‘each company in this import- ant matter will soon be received. San Francisco is designated as the principal place of business. The Los Angeles Herald gives currency to the report that there is a_probability that most of the oil wells in Los Angeles will be closed for a month or so. Forty producers met, and while they did not reach any decision at their first confer- ence the drift of opinion was in favor of suspending operations’ for a brief period. There are 852 wells in the Los Angeles fleld which have marketed their product, and the present total output of Los An- geles is estimated at 105000 barrels per month. There are stored about 169,000 bar- rels of petroleum in Los Angeles, of which 135,000 barrels are subject to sale. To dis- pose of this oil by November 1 with the current product involves a monthly con- sumption of 127,500 barrels. A committe2 has been appointed to devise a plan of ac- tion concerning the Los Angeles producers Iflnd to report at a future meeting. This committee will make a study of the prob- able consumption of oil during the coming six months, and will report upon that in- teresting point. To Raise the Price. According to the figures submitted It was claimed the demand and supply in Los Angeles will be nearly equalized, pro- vided the sale of ofl now on hand is con- trolled. The committee cousists of Dr. W. A. Lamb, L. G. Parker, W. H. Allen, E. A Doran, C. H. Daggett, Thomas O'Don- nell and W. A. Morgan. The Los Angeles Times says the purpose actuating _the movers in the matter is to obtain control of the local petroleum market. Closing down is proposed as a means of raising the price of oil. Already there has beer a reduction in operations in Los Angeles. There were twenty-nine wells less drilling in the Los Angeles flield in April than there were in March, This is conceded to be a sign that the producers have decided to cur- tail operations until*the market recovers from the effect of the developments in other fields during the past year. According to the Bieber Gazette, there is much excitement in Modoc County be- cause of the reported finding of ofl on the ranch of J. H. Hornbeck, between Cedar- ville and Eagleville, in Surprise Valley. A flow of gas that burns is one of the symptoms taken to indicate that there Is ofl in the vicinity. Oil locations have been made and the people are undergoing the oxperfence that dwellers in other counties have been having during the past few months. Shasta’s New Company. Shasta County has another new com- pany, called the Determination Ol Com- pany, which is incorporated under the laws of Arizona, with a stock issue of $i,000,000 provided for. Lands amounting to 4000 acres have been located in Tehama County. The officers are: President, Dr. £ 'G Frishie of San Francisco: vice pres- ident, W. H. Brott of Bakersfield: secre- tary, W. L. Wentworth of Anderson. The directors of the Minor Ranch Oil Company, which owns lands in Colusa County, near Gibson Spring, have decided to purchase a standard rig to replace the small one that has been used for boring prospect holes in the country. A ccrrespondent at Bakersfield writes that the discovery of oil on section 23, 32, 23, in the Midway district, extends 'the territory and indicates that the belt is more than half a mile wide. The strike of a company drilling between the Dab- ney lease and the town of McKittrick is also considered important as showing the country to be productive down two and a half miles from the McKittrick Com- pany’s scene of operations. According to the Sacramento Record Union, the order for fifty oil cars of 6500 gallons capacity has been nearly filled. When these cars are turned out work will begin on the 13,000-gallon tank cars, of which fifty have been ordered. Miller & Lux have entered into an agreement to bore arteslan walls to supply the McKittrick district with pure water. W. M. Rank.

Woodland Has a Plan. A proposition iz under discussion at Woodland for the formation of a o of twenty men, each to put up for | the purpose of drilling for oil on some spot to be selected as near Woodland as possible. “Joe” Craig and Charles Nelson have taken the lead in the matter.
