 There are many indications that the pro- duction of oil in this country will not amount to much before long. At the end of last week, which practically closes the year fol statietical purposes, the total stock of oil was Is, 550, 900 barrels, decrease of $500, ,00C barrels less than the stock four years ago. No less than ,52S new wells were completed within the territory covered by the Pipe Line
 companies, against ], ,632 in 1887 and 3, ,475 in
 1886. There are, however, about 600 wells
 drilling now, against 134 a year ago. The in-
 crease of wells, however, occasions no appre-
 hension. since the limits of productive terri
 tory seem to have been pretty we'll defined
 and the best judges report that producers
 will have to redrill the old fields, though they
 are likely only to secure very small wells. At
 the close of 1888 the daily average production is but 46, 800 barrels, and prospects are that
 it will suffer considerable further reduction.
 At the same time the foreign export move
 ment has been checked by high ocean freights and to some extent by foreign competition. The total exports for the year were 15, 763, ,00O barrels, decrease of 1879, 900 barrels. At the same time domestic consumption is in- creasing, it seems, and the total average daily consumption, both foreign and domestic, is 75, 100 barrels, as against 75,800 barrels in 1886 and 66,000 barrels per day in 1884. Last years consumption was T,700 barrels pef day, but this was due rather to foreign con- sumption.

BURIAL OF C. M. SKEEL9.

The news Of the murder Of Charles NJ.
Skeels reached Uniontown and much
indignation was expressed over the
killing.
The information that the body would
reach Uniontown attracted crowd OF
800 to 500 people to the depot, who wore
all acquainted with him during bis lite.
Upon the arrival of the train the body
was taken to the town hall, where it was
received by the throng. 1t seemed -
though every one 10 the busy little city
OF Uniontown was anxious to pay tribute
to the memory of the dead. The 6rss
wife and children were among the people
who met the remains. When the esskee
was opened the wife was deeply affected
and showed the deepest grief.
The funeral was one Of the largest h
the history Of Uniontown. After the
remains had been received and the tale
of a woman's vengeance experienced,
indignation ran high.
Tho following day tho body w
followed to the grave in the hillside
cemetery by hundreds. The body W

4 HIGH OLD TIME.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The PEN
nsyivania troops became very disordcrly
TO day, and at one time it looked as il
there might be serious trouble. A
crowd Of Pennsylvania militiamen had
cougregated on the street between Eight
and Ninth, completely blockadine the
thoroughfare and daring all pedestrian
and drivers 70 attempt to pass the line.
A patrol Of police several times dis
persed them, but after while it was
found necessary to appeal to Gen.
Hastings, who orderd Col. Crawford, Of
the Tenth Pennsylvania, to clear the
streets and then keep it clear. The
colonel detailed company to charge NJ
and down the streets with fixed bayonets
aud 10 this way the mob was broken up
most Of the rioters were partly intoxi-
Gated and they made themselves terror
to the hucksters, keepers Of small stand
and peddlers BY riding them Of thei
goods and severely haodling them when
ever they offered any resistance.

MOVEMENTS OF THE MANITOBA

A telegram from the Oregeaidn
narrates the statemcnts OF Major Rogers,
the path finder of the Canadian Pacific,
who now claims to be in the interest If
the Manitoba. Here is the substance Of
the dispatch
TACOMA, March A statement has
been made BY an evening paper here
that Major Rogers, the psth finder Of
the Canadian Pacific, and who has been
working for some time in the Cascade
mountains. trying to find another feas
able pass, he supposedly in the interest
| of the Manitoba road, is now at Elleus-
burgh with large surveying party and
states that that road is heading this way.
The following is the statement made
by the paper in question: "Major
Rogers, chief of the preliminary survey
ing party Of tho Manitoba road, is
authority for the statement that that road
lis headed this way and that it is the
purpose Of Jim Hill to make the vicinity
Of Tacoma the western terminus of his
road. He realizes that the road must be
pushed through to the coast or 20 into
bankruptcy. As Major Rogers says,

be raised in Europe on bonds and the
road built through within the next two
years, or the road will 20 into the hand:

interest in the road among emigrants and
investors has thus far been futile, and the

reach Tacoma, or more properly speak
ing, Steilacoom, for that is the objective
point, according to Major Rogers, i,

through Lo Lo pass, in the Bitter Roo
mountains, and the Nez Perce Indiar
reservation to Lewiston, Idaho, from
which point it follows the Snake rive

The commotion made by the Woman's
Christian Union over the alleged bar In
Vice President Morton's Washington hotel
proceeded from a lot of false assumptions.
In the first place the alleged hotel is not a
hotel at all. but huge apartment house,
which will be occupied largely by Congress
men. There is no bar in the house, and
there has been no intention OF having one.
Congressman Hitt. who has investigated the
matter, says there has been and is to be no
bar. Each apartment is entitled to vault in
the basement for the purpose of storing
whatever it may be thought desirable to
store. 1t is for the persons who rent the
apartment to decide what they will store
there. They can keep whatever they please,
but there is no bar upon the premises. In
the basement there will be restaurant, and
wine will be served ct the table when it is
called for. as is the case at all Washington
restaurants, but there is to be nothing that
can fairly be called bar.

The Boston Herald publishes a carefully
prepared and exhaustive review of the oper-
alton of the Australian ballot system in the
principal cities of Massachusetts. Before
election the Herald, though favoring the
principle of the system, was somewhat
doubtful as to the operation Of the machin-
cry. Its review would therefore be made
without any intention of covering up any
serious defects, had any existed. The gen.
eral conclusion of the Herald's investiga-
tions is that the system was proved success
In all essential particulars. In few unim-
portant details some changes may be deemed
advisable. but in all important particulars it
was great success. And this is not alone
the opinion of the Herald. All the other
papers, Republican and Democratic, coincide
in It.

A few days ago Washington correspon,
dent of Democratic paper telegraphed a
conversation alleged to have occurred at a
Cabinet meeting, in which Mr.. Blaine was
reported to have expressed the following
sentiments. We quote the language of the
correspondent:
-. He mir. BlaineI held that the negro was get
ting along very well; that during the past twenty
years ne had made more progress. 10 the South,
nnu IL lact IN every other section Of this country
IMAM any newly emancipated race ever before did
10 the history OF the world. He said that to tht
pest 81 his knowledge and belief, the negro
swarued full justice In the south in the courts;
Itne negr0's property was projected; that
there were no stumbling blocks 10 the way of his
were provided for him by the white people; thai
there was no discrimination against him in indus
sIiai pursuits; and that the only objection to him
wasas ruler. He held that the problem would
work itself out If the South were let Alone aud
, .nst IN twenty or thirty years more IL would be
time enough to think Of federal election law, if
tno better educated negro Of that era were not
awarded his full political rights.
In an editorial in yesterdays BangorWhig,
Congressman Boutelle shows that it is prac.
Ideally impossible that Mr.. Blaine could have
uttered such sentiments, inasmuch as they
are Numerically opposite from his view as
frequently expressed in the past both in bis
speeches and in his writings. Mr.. Boutelle
makes large number of pertinent citations,
and they all point in the same direction, and
are perfectly consistent with each other. and
every one of them inconsistent with his
alleged utterance at the recent Cabinet meet
ing. His last authentic public utterance ON
the subject was made in Augusta November
Is, 1884, and was as follows
