PROBABLY AN OVERSIGHT.
North Dakota Defaults on Bond
Interest.

Special to the Globe
PIERRE, SD, Jan. S.-A dispatch
was received at the state house to-day
from j. NJ. Bailey, ex-territorial treas
urer of Dakota. stating that North Da-
kota had defaulted in her January bond
interest. South Dakota bond interest
Was paid promptly; in fact, two days
before it became due. so that there is no
trouble this side of the line. State Off
GERS here are much surprised at North
Dakota's action, for that state had
money on hand with which to meet IN
terest, and no reason is known why it
was not paid, unless an oversight.
State Treasurer Smith is considerably
worried over the news of the default of
North Dakota, not knowing how it may
affect South Dakota's credit. 1t is said
that the default. even if an overs sight,
will injure North Dakota's credit for
time.

NEW MEANS In VIEW.
The Oil Operators Say Their Business
Must be Protected.
SOME RARE SPECIMENS OF LEASES
Interesting Meeting of the Producers Held
in the Exchange.
THE SUPREME COURT STIRRED THEN

The oil producers met yesterday in the P.
S. & NJ. Exchange building, after the alter
noon stock call, for the purpose of devising
me ans to get away with Gas one outsider put
it) the farmers and the Supreme Court.
There were present W. J. Young, of the
Anchor and Forest Oil Companies; J. N.
Cooper, OF Guffy Bros; J. A. Buchanan, of
the Vandergrift interest; Ed Jennings, P.
E. Calhoun, of Calhoun, Jennings g Co.;
Joe Craig, of the CHARTERS Company; G. H.
Craig, of the Hazelwood Oil Company;
George Heard, of the West Virginia COM
pany; Joe Millison, of BakerstoWn; J. P.
Cappeau, H. E. Wilson, W. L. Curtis,
Bradford; W. S. Watson, Thomas Liggett,
Samuel and William Galley, n. S. Steven
son, Asa Say and A. G. HAIRY. Mr..
Buchanan presided.
The meeting refused to allow reporters
and outsiders generally to be present. Indi-
vidually they reported that they had merely
talked over the situation, without taking
any action. and adjourned to meet again at
the call of Joe Craig.
The cause of commotion is the case of
Wills versus the Manufacturers Gas Com
pany, in which the Supreme Court decided
that when lease was made the lessee cannot
throw it up at his pleasure, but must pay his
rent until the expiration of the term, unless
the lessor agrees to release him from the
agreement. The object of the meeting was
to agree upon plan to have the matter
again brought before the Supreme Court.
There are some people who say this looks
all well enough on the face of it, but they
call attention to the tricks that have been
sometimes played on the grangers. For in
stance, one of them granted a lease; the
lessee agreed to put well down within a
certain time or pay rent subsequently,, or
some other consideration, and ii it then did
not suit him to drill, he threw up the lease.
Meantime, he perhaps drilled all around the
farmer, and thus condemned his territory.
Meantime the farmer was tied up, and could
not lease to any one else, and perhaps for
years had shadow on his title for which he
received nothing.
Some of these arrangements were so
crude that it seems strange that anyone
could be taken IN by them. Mr.. L. G.
Linn tells of one that ties up a large amount
of territory on Glade run. The lessee agreed
to drill within eight months, and after that
If he didn't, to pay 81 an acre rent per year.
He is obligated to drill a well on 'some
lease" What one is not known, and in
terminable lawsuits are threatened.
A field man has tied up large amount Of
territory in the vicinity OF Duff City. The
company he represents is obligated to drill
as soon as gas or oil is found in the neigh
borhood. The question that arises is, what
is the extent OF the territory legally COM
prised in neighborhood.
As might be expected, the man who has
stirred up all the trouble, Wills, is a law
yer, and not farmer. He once practiced
law in this city with the late John Coyle,
then went to Washington, and is now
resident of California.

The Wonderful Child Pianist.

Every lover of music has read of the
wonderful genius displayed by Mozart at
the tender years of childhood. Since then
no one has appeared who even family could
approach him. 1t was reserved for our time
and generation to be favored with child
genius, second only to that of Mozart. 1t is
Otto Hegner we speak of-the musical in
FAINT phenomenon of the age. 1t is wonder
full enough to have mere child like Otto
Hegner perform the most difficult modern
and classical compositions, with the most
mastery skill, power, expression, and ripe
and finished conception worthy of the ripest
musical scholar, but to hear that same child
ask the audience for theme. an air, and
then to elaborate, work 1t up, vary it in
every possible artistic and fantantistic way,
and weave it into harmonious well-de-
Veloped musical poem, on the spur of the
moment, and without previous preparation
this, we say, is veritable musical revela-
tion an achievement which has not been
known since the days of the great Mozart,
and in the accomplishment of which not one
OF the worlds great artists can surpass him.
Otto Hegner must be heard and seen,
otherwise no one could be made to believe
that it is but mere child playing, but with
the head of man upon him and with the
soul of full-hedged artist in his little body.
He will perform at Old City Hall, Pitts
burg, Friday evening, March Z. Go to
Kleber's for tickets.

NO WIRE ROD TRUST.
The Antipathy of President John W.
Gates Said to be the Cause.
WHAT THE SECRECY WAS ABOUT.
An Official Confirmation of the Removal of
the Fort Pitt.
THE PRICES OF IRON WILL NOT GO UP

As stated in The DISPATCH yesterday
the Wire Rod Trust "has gone up the
spout" All efforts to form an association
were of no avail, and the manufacturers who
gathered here to organize have departed for
their homes.
Last Friday The DISPATCH announced
the fact that the wire rod manufacturers of
the country were trying to form an associa-
tion for the purpose of protecting the trade.
When the manufacturers arrived in this
city on Monday they stated that they were
here on different objects. Some of them
said they were in this vicinity to inspect
their coking interests. Others said they
were here to hold meeting of the Beam
Trust and not few said they would take
some action on the proposed reduction in the
tariff on steel rails.
One of the manufacturers stated to DIS
PATCH reporter yesterday that the real OBJ
ject of their gathering was to take the last
step toward the formation of the association.
A spirited meeting was held, and every
thing was not harmonious. It was found
that John w. Gates, of st. Louis, President
of the Braddock Wire Company, was not
taking such an active part in the formation
of the last combination as he had in the Fed
eral Steel Company Various causes were
assigned for this. Itwas stated that Mr.. Gates
was lukewarm to the scheme on account of
the way the other combination was knocked
into ''cocked hat" When the organiza-
tion OF the Federal Steel Company was
under way it was decided by those pushing
the scheme to make Mr.. Gates President OF
the company, and George w. Douglass, of
the Iowa Barb Wire Company, at Allen
town, Pa, Treasurer. The heavily inter-
ested manufacturers in the combination,
such as Carnegie, Phipps & Co. and
the Cambria Iron Company, it is
said, held back on account of the
selection of officers. Notwithstanding this
they recognized the Importance of combina-
tion, and as soon as the Federal Company
had turned in its grave, they began to agi-
tate the organization of another combination
which would not take in any but manufact-
urers of wire rods. The other combination
proposed to take in all wire rod, fence and
nail manufacturers.
When the last meeting was called, it was
generally know that Mr.. Gates was not in
sympathy with the combine, and as it was
necessary to have his company in, the other
manufacturers were somewhat perplexed.
Some of them wanted to go ahead with the
combination and leave the Braddock Wire
Company out, but this was found to be i'm
practical. After considerable discussion on
the matter it was finally decided to let the
combine fall hard enough to break it, and
this was done.

NO GENERAL ADVANCE.

Prices of Iron and Steel Products Wou'r
Go Up, Suys MIR. Potter.
Mr.. o. W. Potter, of the Illinois Steel
Company, with his partners, returned from
the inspection of the company's coke plant
last evening. Mr.. Potter stated that he
found everything in a satisfactory condi-
tion. He said he didn't believe there would
be general advance of per cent on steel
products as reported on the streets yester-
day. The advance OF 5 per cent in wrought
iron pipes was responsible for the rumor
Mr.. Potter stated quite positively that steel
rails would not be pushed up.
Concerning the proposed change of base
for fixing wages said to be advocated by the
Amalgamated Association, Mr.. Potter said !:
II hope there are enough conservative men
in the organization to stop such a move
ment, if one is on foot. The men should be
willing to stay with the market. If it goes
down, they should go back with it, and, if
an advance comes, they should receive their
share of the benefits. Still, we don't worry
much about the wage question. We wait
until it is presented to us, and then we act.
can assure you that in none of the recent
iron and steel conferences held in this city
was the wage problem discussed"

THR DIRECT STEEL PROCESS.
Experimenters Are Not Sure That the Re-
suits Are Satisfactory.

Experimenters Are Not Sure That the Re-
suits Are Satisfactory.
Thomas S. Blair, Jr., Superintendent of
the Premier Steel Works, of indianapolis,
returned to that place last evening. In this
plant the Adams process of making open
hearth steel directly from the ore is being
tried. In speaking Of the work, he said:
'We are not going crazy over the process
or making wild claims. It is only an expert
ment, and we don't know ourselves what the
outcome will be. We can't tell yet how
much the steel costs Us per t8H, but as near-
ly as we can figure the cost is about the
same as the Bessemer. The only advantage
we have so far is that the steel made by the
direct process is of better quality than its
rival. We are not trying to conceal any
thing, and the exaggerated reports of the
process that have crept into the papers
come from engineers and men on the out
side who visited the works. Anybody who
goes there can inspect the process, and we
gladly give all the information n we can.
''The DePauws had mill in Indian
apolis. in which they had in vested $500, 900.
On account of the location they couldn't
compete with Eastern manufacturers. They
didn't care to lose the money, and they
thought they saw chance of realizing on
their investment by introducing the new
process. They are now making 200 tons of
steel per day, but we can't tell anything
about it yet. There the matter stands for
the present, though we hope we have struck
good thing"

AN OIL WE'LL BLAZE.
Developments In the Charters Valley md

that the CHARTERS Valley oil field was ex-
hausted. The report was followed by
another that the Standard men were at work
fencing up territory in that section. Yes
terdaY morning developed something that
evidences there is still oil to be had there.
The Smith farm well, of Jennings & Pat
terson, struck gas and some fluid. The rig
took fire, and was entirely consumed. as
well as vacant house near by. The flames
shot up to a height that they could be seen
over 200-foot hill. The Fritz No. 3, owned
by the Anchor, Forest and Union Oil Com
panies, made flow. 1t reached the sand
on Wednesday night. The Beck we'll is
good for II barrels. The Smith we'll is
about 1000 feet south of the big Davis pro-
ducer.
Within the last 48 hours tine Shannopin
field has added $50 barrels day to produc-
tion. A well put down by the Fort Pitt
Company, adjoining the Douglass farm, was
to come in last night. As it lies between
the Aiken and Dipp farms, it is expected to
be good one.
