TEXAS OIL Although oil was discovered in Texas in 1867 and many wells bare ' si nee been bored, .the State does not seem to have attracted marked at tention as an oil field until that great gusher near Beaumont began to spout out a phenomenal stream of oil a month or so ago, beginning with about 60,000 barrels a day and now spouting out from 25,000 to 10,000 as a regular daily business. This has waked the oil men up and called attention to the mighty-possibilities of this comparatively! new field as a factor in the world s oil business, and also as a factor in the manufacturing industries of this country. With this oil field, now a reliable source of cheap motive power, there is no region on this continent, or any other, that has a future with so much promise in it as Texas. r ""Last week's issue of the Baltimore Manufacturers' Retord contains a splendid article on -the Texas oil field and the oil industry of the world, which gives more informa tion, comprehensively presented, products for 1900. in round numbers. amounted to $83,000,000, making it the fifth article on the list of Atuei ican exports in degree of importance. These exports also exceeded our gold production for the year of 1899 by $11,916,600. In addition to ihe total value of Amtricsn nt-trolum and. its products, 1 must add the important icm o? $30,000,000 for natural gas, which is often the result of petroleum operations.' It often oc curs that when drilling for petroleum natural gas is found and no oil. If the wells are near a pipe line the gas is sold at from two cents to five cents per 1,000 cubic feet, who, in turn, sell it at from twenty cents to fifty cents per thousand feet, otherwise the wells are 'Closed in' until such time as a gas pipe line shall be extended to the field. Taua we have a grand ' total from the petroleum and gas fields of the United States of $200,500,000 per annum." This shows the value of the oil in dustry of the United States and also that on account of the quality of the oil the United States will continue to control the illuminating oil busi ness of the world, in which Texas will eventually play an important part, for her oil resources Have as yet scarcely been tapped. The facts and figures bearing upon this we will present in another article as they are rather lengthy to embrace in this. (Continued from 1st page.) ANOTHER PROTECTED "INFANT IHDU8TEY." One of the principal arguments on sugar was advanced for a tariff that it would encourage the sugar than we have ever seen in any other I oeet growing and beet sugar indus publication,portionsof which we here produce because they will interest any one who is interested in South ern progress and Southern possibili ties. The article was prepared for the-Jlecord by E. T. - Z. Carcaristi, an eminent geologist and a recog nized expert in oil fields who has made this his business for manv years. He had previous to going to I cliP from fcne Philadelphia Times Texas in 1890, explored the conti try in this country, the contention being that with proper encourage ment and protection it would be so developed that we would soon have beet sugar enough not only to sup ply the home demand for consump tion, but considerable for export. How all this has panned out . is shown in the following, which we nent of South "America, and made reports and tests of the develop ments in Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela and Barbadoes, and was then ordered by the European cap--italisM in whose employ he was to investigate the oil field in Texas and Mexico. He did this in 1890, reported favorably and was surprised some time afterwards at receiving a jietter from his clients in Brussels, stating that they had re ceived a letter from their New York bankers, who informed them that they had had a conference with the Standard Oil Company, whose agent had examined the Texas field and "reported unfavorably regarding its commercial value as a petroleum producer." Therefore they con cluded that it would be folly for them to invest in the Texas oil field,' the sum and substance of which was that the Brussels innocents had been buncoed by the Standard Oil Company. They didn't put any money in it, and now perhaps they are sorry for it. We mention this as an illustration of how great en terprises are sometimes impeded by stupid performances, such as capi talists desiring to invest asking in formation from other capitalists as to properties which these other cap italists would naturally want to con trol themselves. Speaking of the oil business gen erally Mr. Caracristi says: w"U.?que8tionab,J' tne Prominence that th-petroleum question is assum ing in Texas will lead to large invest mente, and for the benefit of those in- fn?K1.!etbe 'o'10 statistics for 1900 on the world' n.i.ni.nn duction, and also call attention to the accompanying sketch map showing the various petroleum fields of the Ameri can continent: Kussia 60,000,000 bar rels, valued at 60 ceuts per barrel $36,000,000: United States 59.5W) 000 barrels, valued at $1 per barrel. $59 -800 000; total crude U9Ki53s, valued at $95,500,000. "Besides these countries there are among the oil producers Borneo, Can w.ap,CI8' Germany, Italy, japan. Java, Peru, Roumania, India and Sumatra, but as their output does not mantel, except locally, it is useless to bring them i.c tKu "A good deal has been said atone time and another about a great and rapidly growing beet sugar industry in the United States. This largely mythical industry has been used as a defence for the cinch of the 8ugar Trust in the terms of the Dingley tariff UUl. "There is nothing equal to a census report for puncturing an inflated myth, and this the census report does for the beet sugar industry. Accord ing to this there were thirty-one beet sugar factories , in operation in 1899. eight of which were in California, nine in Michigan and fourteen dis tributed in ten other 8tates. They were not little, one horse concerns, but well equipped, up to date sugar factories, tne thirty -one representing more than twenty millions in capital. Ii !olotal outPut. however, was but 71,427 tons of sugar, valued at a trifle over $7,000,000, or about one third of the capitalized value of the plant. "As the sugar consumed in the uuueu oiaies amounted to from twelve to fifteen times the product of the much advertised beet sugar out put nf the country, the general im pression will be that if ih., t,o been no Sugar Trust to be protected tne beet sugar producers would have had verv little infl u iiauiiUK he.l schedule of the Dingley tariff bill." In order to encourage this "in fant industry" a mere pretence the American people have been pav ing a tax on every pound of snar they used not to put money into the Treasury, but to keep foreign sugar out and put money into the coffers of the Sugar Trust. A CHANGE OF POLICY. Experience is a great teacher, but it takes nations a good while to learn from experience, especially when they are puffed up with infixed notions of their own prowess. If Great Britain knew as much when she went into the Boer war as she knows now. there wnnldn't vv,u w uayo been any Boer war, and if she knew as much at the capture of Pretoria as she knows now, that war might have been ended soon. When, some time after that, Gen. Botha asked Gen. Roberts what terms would be granted if the Boer armies surrendered, Gen. Roberts curtly answered that the only terms were "unconditional " MUADUUCX. disCUBSion. ATMnt. (n c.- n. .

Toe House will dispose of all public businta before' euteriug upon the trial. At noon today the Curt of Ioupeachiueot convened and the ac cused judges, with, counsel, and the managers of the prosecution with their counsel, appeared at the bar ready for trial The case being declared at issue, the oath was administered by Presi dent Turner, all the Senators, as jurors, to try the case in accordance with the articles of impeachment, the answer and evidence presented. Then followed a long discussion as to whether the trial will proceed at once or be p stpoBa until Thursday or Monday. The vote finally prevailed postponing the trial until Thursday noon, whenlt is thought the House and Senate will have completed the regular work of the Legislature. The postponement is agreeable to counsel on both sides. Senators not present to receive the oath were Messrs. McNeill, Foy and Burroughs. The following bills passed final reading in the Senate: To regulate the stock law in Johnston county; to incorporate the Wayne and Sampson Rilroad Co; to establish the stock law in parts of Jones county. The' Load on Libel bill, t he same as prepared by the committee of the State Press .Association, passed with amendment not to affect pending suits. The Senate concurred in the amendment and the bill is" now ready for ratification. Judge Connor asked leave to intro duce a resolution which he asked be adopttd unanimously. He said it re lated to one of the most venerable, gifted and patriotio of North Carolin ians Col. Creecy. He paid high tribute to Col. Creecy. The resolution was an endorsement of Col. Creecy 'a history, or 'Tales of a Grandfather," commending it to people of the State and appropriating $300 to the State Library to purchase copies. The res olution was unanimously Adopted. McLean called up the bill placing the A. and M. College under the charge or the Board of Agriculture. He said it was intended only to put a veil over the eyes of the farmers. He moved it be recommitted to the Committee on Agriculture. Adopted A bill passed second reading to en courage and promote public libraries in country schools. It provides that when the patrons of a free school eon- tribute $10 for a library, the county board shall contribute $10 and the State board $10. lae amount devoted to this purpose by the State board not to exceed $5,000. Other bills passed: To amend the dispensary law of Union county; to amend the charter of the Golds boro Lumber Company; to provide for sale of property for taxes; to establish a dispensary at Lucama, Wilkes county ; to encourage the breeding of poultry and raise its dignity and importance; to establish a recorder's court for Char lotte; bill supplemental to the act pro hibiting the sale of liquor in Cumber land county ; to regulate the fees of pilots in Beaufort harbor; to amend chapter 35, Laws 1885, relating to the statute or limitations running against a judgment on a homestead, and to amend section 50, sub division 4 of the Code. The Revenue act came near being killed on the second reading in the Senate to night. Tne vote was 23 for and 19 against the bill. It was under consideration from 4.30 to 6.30, and secHonountiillto-nijrht Mr. Mor ton was one of the principal oppo nents. In explaining his vote he said one of the great principles of ages past and would be for ages to come, was no taxation without representation; that his mouth and the mouths of many other Senators were closed by the five-minute gag law rule and the peremptory calling of the previous question before many of the most objectionable and important sections were called at all and he proposed to kill the bill if he could. There has been no consideration of the income tax, the inheritance tax clauses, or those bearing upon banks, building and loan associations, telegraphs, telephones and others. There must be many material changes before the bill can possibly pass a third reading Four or five Senators who voted for the bill declared they did so merely to save time and would certainly oppose unless a material change was made. During the afternoon the privilege on third reading. It ii considered as fair and equitable as could be desired. The bill to empower county and State 'boards of education to donate $10 ; to each public school library when any ; district issues a similar amount, passed as it came from the Senate, ex- cept ar amendment that no school in an incorporated town shall benefit by any such appropriation was added. Other bilis passed the iijuse in .the morning 'session : , Tu , grant ; pro-, lection to State asylums; to establish a dispensary at Kenly ; to amend the set of 1899 regarding the dispensary at 8mithfieid; to prevent kidnapping; to secure to parents control of children ; to allow Richmond county to issue bonds; to incorporate Smith field Fire Co. ; to prevent felling timber in the streams of Union county; to discharge drunken solicitors; resolution that copies of names of deserters from the Tenth Congressional district during the civil war be furnished the register of deeds of each county. - The report of the committee on special appropriations came up as the special order. After discussion the bill was ordered printed and made the special order for 8 o'clock'. The state ment made carries increased appropri ationa aggregating $250,000 Simms, of Wake, said the whole amount recommended is, $170,000 less than the aggregate asked for. There was a long discussion over the out to appoint uemocratio magistrates for Stokes county It was opposed by many Democrats, because Representa live Petree, Republican, has gone home. In the language of Representa tive Thompson, of O as low, "Petree stood by the towns of the Bast and West during 1895 and '97 like a rock wall for the rights of white men in op position to his Republican associates, and saved at least Newborn, Raleigh and Winston the disgrace of Republi can negro rule." The bill was re referred to the committee with the purpose to let it die there. The following bills passed the Senate: To incorporate the Aberdeen and Gibson Railroad Co. ; to allow Pen der county to levy a special tax; to establish the stock law in Warsaw; to amend the charter ot the Goldsboro Lumber Co. ; to provide legalized primaries when asked for by Mecklen burg, Columbus, Cabarrus, Wake, Guilford, Washington, Hyde, Pamlico, Granville, Durham, Richmond, Hen derson, Beaufort and several other counties. The Senate spent some time in com mittee of the whole considering the Revenue act before putting it on third reading. Sections 60 to 63 were adopted. 8ection 64, slot machines, etc. : an amendment waa adopted pro hibiting slot machines. Sections 65 to 67 were adopted. Section 68 was amended so as to make the tax on State banks $1 on $1,000 capital in stead of $2.50. Sections 69 and 70 were adopted. Morton moved to strike out section 71, taxing each oil tank of more than 500 gallons capacity. There was a long discussion, which resulted', in the adoption of the section, after which the committee rose and reported progress. A message was received from the "Governor by both branches of the Assembly recommending the sale of school bonds if necessary to prov"1? for appropriations made to public schools. The cash and bonds in the hands of the Board of Education Biuuum io $iy,033 Tne message s'rongly advised against any bond issue to meet expenses; it said the poor unlettered people cannot afford lo hoard funds for education in the future when they need money nowi The funds referred to accumulated from the sale of public and pwamp lands. Connor introduced the bill in accordance with the recommendation of the Governor's message. The Board of Directors for the hos pital for the insane met to day and elected Dr. James McKee, Raleigh, superintendent, to succeed the late Dr, uo. Li Kirby. The House this afternoon declined to concur in the Senate amendment to the divorce bill, so there will be no divorce legislation this session. The House passed bills election case was settled by adopting the majority report to aearSeawell, (Democrat.) ''iC0-'' ' The bill ' prohibit the employment of labor on the 3tat farms in Halifax and Northamptoi counties was dis cussed at length - A motion to table was lost, but the bill was displaced by the special order before the final vote was reached. Other bills passed third reading: To authorize the. Governor to fill vacancies on the boards of. charitable and penal I institutions; to ' provide regulations for convicts in the peni tentiary; to incorporate the Edge combe Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company ; to amend the charter of Fayetteville; to place street car lines under control of the Corporation Com mission ; to establish the stock law in" certain sections of Wayne; to pay House managers four dollars par day, actual days, during the' impeachment trial; to incorporate the Farmers' Bank, Richmond county. The 8enate spent a great portion of the day in committee of the whole considering the Revenue act, third reading. Section 4, bank tax, con sumed most of the ' time. Motion by Mr. Leak to substitute the law of '99 was voted down. The section was finally adopted The principal change is that bank officers certify to the audi tor all non resident stockholders, for taxation at the market value of stock n . June 1st.

There was a hot debate in the Sen ate this afternoon on the sunnlemen- tal report on charges of extravagance in the management of the blind insti tute. Gudger said the report was a slander against the institution. This made the committee and others in dfgnant. Finally the language was withdrawn. Later, in a controversy with Brown, Gudger said Brown might not consider the language withdrawn as to him. A personal ncounter was prevented by inter ference of the sergeant at arms. In tense excitement reigned for several minutes, both reports as to findinva of the committee were referred to the Governor without prejudice. The .report was vey lengthy, itemiz ing moneys misapplied by the board of directors, misleading features in super intendent's reports, the srrounda fnr the charge of extraragasce at'd mis management The Governor nominated, and the Senate has confirmed, the following directors ror the State Normal Indus trial College, Greensboro, for a term of six years: A.

The House refused to concur and asked for a conference committee. Meantime the Senate took a recess. The com mittee will be appointed to morrow. The House had roll call without re cord to ascertain if a quorum remained in the city.

Notifications were sent out by the sergeant at arms that no member would be allowed to leave. Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh, N. 0., March 13. The prevailing opinion now is that the House of Representatives will com plete their work probably by to-morrow noon and ad journ. Several im portant bills still remain On the cal endar, but it is thought that all can be disposed of at least in time to adjourn tome time during the afternoon or evening. Probably the longest time will have to be devoted to considera tion of the Senate amendments to the Revenue act. They cannot get this bill back from the Senate for eon mi re nee in the amendments before some time to-morrow. The Senate has concurred in the following appointments by the Gov ernor: Members of the Board of Agriculture from the following Congressional Dis tricts and for the following terms: First Congressional DiaLnV.t r r Coffield, of Martin county, for a term of six years. 8econd District K.

Allen, JnlddlAfed White Mao, Charged With Fraudulent Use of the Mails Committed to Jail at Lombcrtoff, N. C. United States Postofflce Inspector Jere Connolly arrived in the city jes terday afternoon over the Seaboard Air Tiine railroad from Laurinburg, N. O.', where he caused an important arrest on Tuesday niirht of H T Alien, alias "Dr. H. T. Allen" and M. Allen," a middle-aged man em ployed as a printer on one of the local newspapers in that town, and who is charged with violation of the United States Revised Statutes relating to the fraudulent use of the mails. Allen was arrested by Deputy Marshal J. C. Parish and a preliminary examination was held Tuesday night before United 8tates Ccmmksioner W. H. Cox, who committed him to the Lumber ton jail in default of $500 bond for a continued hearing at Laurinburg on March 26th. Allen was brought ton the morning train j es terday to Lamberton. ; and lodged in jail there. A Star representative last night had talk with Mr. Connolly and was shown a number of the alleged fraud u lent circulars which were mailed br Alien and which were secured by the inspector, after a persistent and shrewd effortjof several months. The principal and one among the several schemes which Allen has worked for several years without detection is the mailing of carefully worded circulars offering for sale at $1.02, two recipes for "Allen's Patent Leather Enamel" and "Allen's Chemical Whiskey," wmcn are sent in good faith, but are merely copies of recipes found in many cheap books.
