LARGEST IN THE WORLD.

FINDLAY, o., April IL. - Hancock
county is now prepared to challenge the
world in regard to the immense gas res
ervoir that evidently underlies her area.
To-day will be remembered as o great
event III the gas history, not only of the
country, but of Ohio's natural gas belt.
Two of the largest gas wells that were
ever struck in this country, "came in"
to-day.
One is situated on the Mollett farm,
east OF fStewartsville, and is owned by
fifteen farmers.
The other well is one mile northeast
of this city. This is said to be the
largest natural gas well in the world.--
Its tremendous roar can be heard for
miles, and may certainly be classed
among the wonders of the century:
These strikes of gas are simply phe-
nOmenal. The former we'll has a ca
pacity estimated at twenty millions of
feet per day. and the latter of thirty
millions daily.
pressure of an old we'll increased sud-
denly, blowing out the castings of the
well and bursting pipes in factory
which used the gas. This well has an
estimated capacity of twenty-eight mill
lion feet per day.

Commissioner Kasson,s Opinion.

NEW YORK, April 10.-Ex- Minister John
A. Kasson, one of the commissioners ap.
pointed by President Harrison to confer
with representatives of the British and Ger
man governments in regard to the Samoan
situation, arrived in this city Monday from
Washington.
commissioners, George H. Bates, of Della
ware, and William Walter Phelps, of New
Jersey, accompanied by Harold NJ. Sewall,
as secretary for the commission, would sail
for Liverpool on the Umbria Saturday.
They would thence proceed to Berlin.
Il do not wish to express any opinion in
regard to the stand taken by the United
States at present." said Mr.. Kasson. "We
all wish to enter the conference as free as
possible from any utterances upon the SUBJ
ject which we will have to consider.
1.-The condition of affairs in Samoa at
present, | understand, is peaceful. The
main question which we will be confronted
with in the conference will be the decision
upon some mode of protecting the rights of
foreigners at Samoa, without, in anyway,
interfering with native independence. It
will be our general aim to secure good order
at Samoa and to maintain the principle Of
the equal rights of the powers interested
there
Commissioner Kasson said, when asked if
he thought the destruction of the vessels at
Samoa would have any effect upon the
negotiations about to take place, that he
thought it would. There would, in all proba-
bility, be more strenuous effort made to
reach such settlement as would make need
less the maintenance of an armed force at
the islands.

Certain Southern Republican Con
gressnen arc not satisfied with their
share Of the patronage and have devised
scheme to bring tho Administration to
time. Taking advantage Of the Repub.
lican desire to have smooth sailing in
the organization Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives they have cot up Representa-.
tive Brewer, Of North Carolina, as
Speaker.
Mr.. Brewer responds With alacrity TO
the call. He says there Is enough Of his
faction to hold the balance Of power,
and that he and his friends arc indiIer-
emit whether he be made Speaker by Re.
publican or Democratic votes. HO Is In
to win, and he Is going 10 stay there.
Ills pretext 10 that his people desire the
repeal Of the Internal Revenue system
and will endorse anything lie does To
bring about that result.
We have seen something like this in
West Virginia. State Senator Carr,
elected as a Republican, declared his In.
tcntion TO DO President Of the Senate.

can votes, but was willing To accept the
place through Democratic Aid. His Re.
publican associates, sWeafidgr ipy would

Carr rot the coveted place, His atti.
tude differed from Growers because II
was not a strike for patronage. II was
a bald dash for tho thing hO wanted, and

Of his success and concluded that tho

People OF q speculative turn Of mind
may well ask Themselves what Is to be
done with so enormous a population,
how are they 10 be supported, and many
other questions that, though purely
speculative now, may assume a vital im'
portanCe before the close OF the next
century, The total area Of the United
States, including Alaska, is 3,5S0,e42
square miles, or 2,2Ol, S54,SS0 acres, This
area necessarily includes the lakes, riv.
ers and uninhabitable mountains and
deserts, yet we find that there will DO an
average Of more than two and one-hall
persons to each acre OF our total area
when the %enumerators enter upon their
duties one hundred years hence, The
exact figures are 1904,
According to Mr., LOOMS, the ratio Of
increase OF population by births over
deaths, although much less than 1t was
q century since, Is at present 2,0l pei
cent per annum, or 20.I each ten years,
Accepting, for convenience, the ratio o.
decennial increase as 20 per cent, and
casting aside all accretion from immigra'
ton, we find that In the year 1900 our
total population will be more than
6l0,000,000.
Whether these figures are accepted as
reasonably trustworthy or rejected Us
gross exagCeration, the fact still remains
that the natural and inevitable increase
OF the population, not alone Of our own
country, but OF the whole world, pre-
sents a problem that may well engage
the thoughtful mind.

ob.truetinr the Ohio River

The collision between tue Panhandle
Railroad Company and the steamboat In
,terests Of the Ohio river should result in
the immediate interference of the
National Government, which is master
of the situation. This, probably, is
what the steamboa.men designed when
they determined to force the blockade,
knowing that the railroad company
could eiIectually bar their progress as
soon as it should get It's second wind.
Modern engineering Is not the science
1t is supposed to bei I the railroad COM
pany cannot go on with It's bridge work
and lot the steamboats, go on with their
business. II either must stop pending

reminds Council thai this privilege

Board Of Health and may be revoked at
any moment,
This subject has a deep interest for
the Wheeling people apart from the
mere matter Of finding a way to dispose
Of night soil. They need not tlatter
themselves that they are rid Of It forever
when it has been dumped IN some mar
ket gardeners premises, Nothing ia
more probable than that It will return

the night soil is easily splashed on the
vegetables, in them brought back to
Wheeling, put in the dinner pot and
taken into the stomach. No amount Of
careful washing in the kitchen can be
relied on to get rid OF this deposit.

may contain is not pleasing to contem'
