Although no mnentiomm of time tact Is likely

comucorneul In an extraordimmar3- scone today at
a uirlvate sitting of the parliamentary select
conimittee. appointeul to Inquire Into the ad-
vie'ability to raise the hash point of mineral
oil sold In the United Kingdom. Anthony
I. Mundella , M. 1' . , who had to retire front a
position as presiulent of the Board of Trade
in time last liberal government because of his
connectiomt with an unfortunate joint stock
enterprise , is chairmmman of the comnmnlttea ,
anti ime brought forwarul as a breach of Parhia.
mnemmtary privilege the accusation made in the
Scotsman , the leading Scottlsim paper. that ho
was conducting the inquiry in the imiterests
of an American oil ring. , Iumndelia tndig-
miantly ulenled time cimarge and created a
heated controversy by accusing one of the
Seotteh ! members of the committee , witim
imavimmg umispirefi time libel. Aim altercation ,
lasting nearly an hour ensued , but though
the statement of the neaspaper was' cieariy
a breaciu of privilege , punialmablo by severe
pentities , as it involved the charge of coat-
phicity in gross corruption , it was ultimately
decided to take no action. TIme trumtii is the
original appointment of this committee was
motmred by certain Scotcim mnembers of Parlia-
macnt acting imi the interest of a Scotch oil
cemilpany which having quarrelled vith the
Stammdarul Oil company iuopco to hamper its
trade witim the Uniteul Kingdom by obtaining
a legislative enactnient raising the fiach
point. The Scotch oil company and time
Standard worked together untii a couple cf
years ago , anul qumito recently negotiations
wore opened for a renewal of the arrange-
ntents between them , hut it came to nothumtg.
It is estintated that if the Scotch oil company
can secure the object it Is aimning al it will
mmiean a gain of CO0,000 to its income aimfi
a cormespondimig less to the Standard Oil coin-
imny. On the tlmole the origlmm and oh-
ject of the committee is a serious semmdal
and reflects little credit cmi the bonotei
purity of the lIritili legislature and legis-
iators.
