Washington, Aug, 5.-No action
has yet been taken by the War De-
partment towards returning the Fed
eral troops recently ordered to differ
ent peints in Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Missouri, Maryland and elsewhere to
the points occupied by them before
the labor troubles commenced, and it
is not probable the troops will be re-
moved from these localities for some
time to come.
~ good portion of the Presidents
message upon the reassembling of
Congress will be devoted to the con-
sideratfon of the labor question. AT
numerous Cabinet meetings, held
within two weeks past, this subject
has in several instances been dis
eussed, to the exclusion of all other
matters Several members of the
Cabinet are known to favor the pas
sage of law providing for the organi-
cation of commission, which shall
have due regard for the interest of all
concerned - producers, merchants,
railroad employees and capitalists,
SO than on any questions a fair c0an-
promise may be effected. A member
of the Cabinet, in a recent conversa-
ton, spoke of this, and argued that
Congress has the right to pass such a
law uuder the clause of the constitu-
tion authorizing that body to regulate
commerce with foreign nations and
among tlse several States, and within
the Indian tribes. Such commission
might be vested with power to ex.
anime into the desirability of charter
ing new railroads, and might require
certain conditions to be fulfilled as to
establish reasonable certainty that the
projected road would be remunerative,
and that the company would have
means to pay for it's construction, and
thus avoid disastrous failures.

OIL News.

The railroad strike and the low
price of oil has nearly demoralized the
oil operations, and drilers in the
Warren oil district, and for some days,
things looked decidedly blue. The
new hundred barrel well of Bell G
Co., on the Eggleston farm in Glade,
has created quite an excitement, and
. the putting up of more new rigs, and
the drilling of several old wells to a
greater depth, will he the order of eX
ercises for the next ten days. The
well on the Hoskins farm, mile or
two northeast of the Bell & Co. well,
is full of oil, and as soon as tanks can
be erected, the last blows will be struck,
when it is expected the fluid will gush
forth in satisfactory manner. This
is the most northeastern well, and
the most remote or outside we'll in this;
district, and if the hopes and expecta-
tiOns of its owners should be realized,
many new derricks will be put up in
the neighborhood, and North Glade
will again be the centre of attraction
and business.
At North Warren OH the Asylum
Grounds, the well of Struthers q: Co. is
down nearly five hundred feet, and
the show of both gas and oil indicates
a first class well. Watson d. Co., on
the Crull farm few rods north of the
Asylum grounds, have new well
down about four hundred feet. This
well will no doubt prove another
gusher as it is close to the No. of same
company, which has yielded so
largely for some months. Dingley &
Co. have been pumping their well
across the river in Pleasant TIP. for
several days. The production is small
but the company think the show suffi-
cient to Justify the putting down of
another well short distance south
east, and they will commence opera
tions in a few days on No. 2. The
well on Coffee Run, q few miles from
Corydon is down about 800 feet, and
the drillers express great satisfaction
with the present indications of gas
and oil, and especially with character
of the second sand in which they are
at present at work.
The striking of two new wells al
Bullion, one of 800 and the other OF
800 barrels, has weakened the market
in the lower district, and prices tiuc.
tuated wednesday, morning the sth
between $3.50 and $2.35, but at eleven
o'clock sale of 5000 barrels took place
at $2.4lB. The market will surely ad-
vance, as orders are being constantly
received for the purchase of large
quantities of oil, one gentleman of this
place having been notified by tele
graph to purchase 100000 barrels fol
Boston parties and 50, 900 for Rocheste.
parties. Oil is worth about $500 a.
Glade and $l.90 at North Warren
There is no difference in the quality
or these oils and the difference ir
price is owing to pipe rates.
