ScRIpers md Pykers Do All the OIL BusI.
uees-Field News.
The oil market was barely steady at the open
ing yesterday. There was some scalping on
differences in quotations between Pittsburg
and other points, and some pyking by the local
crowd, but very little legitimate brokers bust
ness. There were no orders. The market sold
down q of cent without a single transaction,
and back again with the same result. The
range was: Opening, 81 06; highest 81 O61s;
lowest 81 045z@l 05 The close was weak. Sat
urday's clearanceS were IL 900 barrels.
There was nothing particularly new from the
neld. Mechlin. Drake & Co.'s gusher, on the
Ferguson farm, in the Shannopin district,
ago, is now filling three tanks a day, an equiVa-
lent of about 700 barrels This farm consists of
about 500 acres There are row on it 26 producing
wells, having daily production of from Is to
7OO barrels, and not a dry hole has yet been
found in all the drilling. This is record 1t
would be pretty hard to beat
Contrary to first reports, the Arbuckle No. 8
in the CHARTERS Valley field is not dry. 1t has
1000 feet Of oil standing in it and was tubed for
pumping. The Salem Flack farm well of the
South Penn Oil Company in the Washington
held is still holding up in good style, making
about 900 barrels day. The Canonsburg Oil
Company's Weaver lot well at Canonsburg has
a far showing of oil in the 50-foot. Lockwood
Co. IS l00foot gusher in the Butler field is pro-
ducing about 800 barrels day and was given
shaking up yesterday.

The senate returned the appointments
of the governor without action and with
out prejudice. It was argued that if it
required 119 days for the governor to de.
eide upon the fitness of the appointees,
the senators, to whom most of the gentle
men named we're entire strangers, could
hardly be expected, in the brief period of
twenty-four hours, to reach a just decis-
ion. It wal therefore deemed advisable,
under all the circumstances, to return
the list to the executive and thus relieve
themselves Of the joint responsibility
they are supposed to assume under the
constitution and laws of the state.
The governor will, of course, make re-
cess appointments-although there is
some question about the authority under
the 1889 laws, except fer the new institu-
tions-and the failure to confirm makes
no bad blood and results in no division
of the party. 1t was the only dignifed
and sensible course for the senate to
pursue. The resolution adopted by the
senate in regard to this matter reads as
follows:
WHEREAS, The constitution and laws of
our state provide for the appointment of
certain officers by the governor with the
advice and consent of the senate, and
WHEREAS. His excellency, Gov. Miller,
has seen fit to withhold his nominations
for such offices until the closing hours of
the session, and
! WHEREAS, He has, with a very few ex-
, ceptiOns, utterly ignored and failed to ad-
wise and consult with the members of this
senate as contemplated by tho constitution
and laws of our state in regard to such ap-
pointments, as was his sworn duty to do.
thereby asking us to participate in the ap-
pointment to Office of men entirely un-
known to us, and
WHEREAS, These nominations have been
withheld until so late an hour that we can
not give them the consideration we feel
should be given so important a question;
therefore,
Resolved, That the senate most respect
fully declines to assume any responsible
lty in the premises and respectfully returns
the nominations to his excellency, the v
ernor, without action or prejudice to such
nominees on the part of the senate.

THERE was a considerable amount of
"playing horse" inddlged in by the house
Saturday afternoon when the bill fixing
the salaries OF the state officers was up for
consideration. 1t resulted in the passage
of a bill fixing the salaries of most of the
state officers at too low a figure. The
TRIBUNE believes in good pay" for good
men and if good men are not elected the
people are at fault. 1t is ridiculous to
think of asking good business men, or
even farmers, to leave their business and
homes to come to the capital and live tenn
porarily and discharge public duties for
$500 a year. In some of the other states
the constitution trainers were "penny wise
and pound foolish and their record is no
criterion for the new states. We do not
want the salaries of the officers fixed at
such a low figure that only fools or dis
honest men will seek the places. 1t is
hoped the senate will amend the error
made by the house and the house will
think better Of its action and concur in
judicious amendments. If not, the bill
should fail entirely and the constitutional
salaries stand.
