BERLIN, May 2.-The prospect Of Prince
Bismarck's early reappearance in the Reich
stag has given an impetus to the Govern
ment's plan for the conciliation of the vari-
Gus parties, SO as to render them ready to
coalesce in the Governments interest. The
Center and Freisinnige parties, and the
Guelphs and Poles in turn receive Govern
ment inducements. Though the Poles only
count 16 in the Reichstag, their steady sup
port is worth securing.
The recently developed tendencies of the
Government toward the conciliation of the
Poles ought Justly to be ascribed, in part
to a quickened sense of justice in dealing
with them. Whatever motive may ami
mate the Government, the Poles of Western
Prussia and Posen have been favorably in
huenced by freer use of the national
language in the schools by the greater
facilities afforded them for the requirement
and sale Of land, and BY the increased
courtesy accorded by officials to Polish
families.
To-day's debate in the Lower House of the
Diet on the budget commission for the Ger
man colonizing of Western Prussia, occa-
stoned remarks touching the Governments
policy in Posen, and provoked Chancellor
Won Caprivi to explain. He denied that the
Government had conceded to the Poles any
thing beyond what came within the scope OF
the settlement law. 1t had met the wishes
of the Poles as regards both the schools
and the church. The Poles, on their part,
lad also manifested desire to bring them
selves into closer accord with the Govern
ment. This desire found expression in the
support which the Poles gave the Govern
ment proposals for increasing the defensive
power Of Germany. This, the Chancellor
said, was indeed pleasant and surprising
change. If the Poles wsuld take the lead
on the path of reconciliation, the Govern
ment and the Germans were ready to fol-
low.
Alluding to the suggestion that the ami
cable treatment of the Poles had a latent
aim to make proselytes among them, Chan
cellor Won Crispi secuted the idea that the
sole aim of the Government was to concili-
ate the Poles. Ifhe had designed to con-
trast the conditions of the Poles in Posen
with that of their harassed kindred over the
Russian border, the Chancellor could not
have spoken better.

AN EARLY OIL FOLLY.
Story Of the Shafts Sunk to Tap
Deep Lakes Of Grease.
THE FIRST WAS AT TARENTUM,
A Tragedy That Showed How Natural Gas
Would Kill.
HOW GREED LED MANY MEN AsTRAY

ESPECIAL rKLEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.l
NEW YORK, May 2.-R. II. McCutcheon,
who was through the oil excitement in the
Tidioute district, and was seriously burned
in fire on Triumph Hill, was on the floor
of the Consolidated Stock and Petroleum
Exchange this week. Mr.. McCutcheon has
for some years been following the gentle
pursuits of farmer in Ripley county, Ind,
which he says he finds far less exciting than
chasing tickle Fortune through the Pennsyl-
vania oil fields. He is here to complete the
purchase of the farm adjoining his, which is
owned by an estate here, SO it may be sur
missed that he is farming for profit, which is
the way he carried on the oil business when
he was in it.
1t was Mr.. McCutcheon's peculiar fortune
to be employed as laborer on two of the
shafts which were sunk in the oil country to
find the oil rock and thus tap the golden
stream of grease on a large scale. He was
working as q laborer in Tareutum, above
Pittsburg, when the oil excitement burst
upon upper Oil creek. After the community
had time to think over the prospective in
dustry promised by the striking of oil wells,
the conviction seized many that the proper
way to get this oil out of the ground was to
dig shafts down to the rock and take it out
by the Wholesale.
The Tarentum OIL Shaft.
A number of persons in Tarentum were
impressed with this idea, and the result was
that an oil shaft was started near that town.
Mr.. McCutcheon was employed to work
sinking several deep water wells at different
points along the Allegheny river The pro-
moters of the enterprise did not stop to
ascertain that the oil rock at Tarentum laid
somewhere near 1000 feet below the
surface, and that shaft of several feet
in diameter to that depth would be an i'm
practical undertaking. 1t was the oil which
troubled the salt wells at Tarentum that
gave the promoters of the shaft the idea that
if they could sink their big bore down to
the right spot the earth and the fatness
thereof would be theirs. They went to work
with crew of well diggers, and the work
progressed very satisfactorily for some time.
After reaching a depth of 75 feet it was very
slow work, and after getting down in the
neighborhood of 126 feet they were troubled
some with gas. They worked on, however, but
as there were no signs of oil the proprietors
Of the enterprise began to weary Of paying
out money, and Mr.. McCutcheon thinks
that the work was finally abandoned at
about 1856 feet. OF course no oil was found.
The Drake we'll had found oil at less than
70 feet, and the shaft theory continued to
have many advocates. As the dip of the
sand rock to the southwest began to be sus-
pected it was reasoned out that the place to
sink a shaft and tap the reservoir Of mex
haustible riches was somewhere further up
the Allegheny river.
= Death In the Shaft at Tidiouts.
1t was not until 1855 that company was
again organized to try the shaft business.

FREE EDUCATION BILL.
1t win Stir Up Spirited Fight In the House
Of Commons.

IL VIII Stir Up Spirited Fight In the HOUSE
of Commons.
rBY puNLAP's CABLE coMPANY.l
LONDON, May 1T is now almost
certain that the Government free education
bill will contain clauses relating to denomi-
national schools, which the Radicals will
feel called upon to oppose tooth and nail.
Certain public utterances by members of
the Government fully warrant this belief
and indicate their line of policy. Irish
Nationalists representing the Roman Cath
olic hierarchy, who demand to have full
control of their sectarian schools, while en-
joying State endowments, will naturally
support any Government which will give
them what they want. But there are enough
non-conformist Radicals in the House of
Commons to obstruct such proposals beyond
Parliamentary patience, and thereby to give
the Ministers that which they want very
badly Just now, good election.
The cry of free education is tangible
boon to the agricultural laborers, who, more
than any other class of workers, chafe
against and resent the payment of school
fees. The Tories believe they stand to win
whichever way the Radicals may move. If
the education bill should pass into law
they will pose as public benefaotors, and If
the bill be obstructed or defeated, they can
and will appeal to the country in the char
acter of philanthropists, baked of their be-
nevolent intentions by heartless Liberals,
who care nothing for the well-being of the
people.

BARON HIRSCH'S SCHEME.
IT Is NOT REGARDED AS PRACTICAL By
LEvEI-HEADED MEN.

Lord shaftesbury Preceded Him Many Years
Ago In His Hebrew Colonization Project
The Baron Is Prepared to Spend MILL
ions on the Plan.
IBY CABLE TO THE pIsPLTcHL
LONDON, May 2.-Baron Hirsch has not
vet contradicted the announcement that he
has in contemplation vast scheme for form
Ing a new Palestine in South America, In
which the hundreds of thousands of poor op-
pressed Hebrews in this hemisphere may
find haven of safety and comfort. Every
body is talking about the Baron, with
whose peculiarities the readers of The Dis
PATCH have been made acquainted from
time to time in this correspondence, and his
name is coupled with those OF kings and
princes, who are said to have approved OF
his project.
Ali this is very gratifying to Baron
Hirsch, the more so that this fresh fame has
been obtained without much expenditure OF
money, for, in some respects, he is frugal
as we'll as q vain man. Even assuming that
the Baron is prepared to spend millions
upon the project, leyel-headed men, He
brews as we'll as Gentiles, regard it as moro
chimerical than that which the late Lord
Shattesbury, in all seriousness, submitted to
the British Government in 1910.
That philanthropic nobleman, who, by
the way, was distinguished member Of the
Peace Society, proposed that the Turks
should be turned out of Palestine
and Syria, by persuasion if possible,
by force if need be, to make
room for the Hebrews, who were to be
settled on the land, formed into common
wealth, protected from external influences
in general, and the aforesaid Turks in par
ticular, by the European powers. Lord
Palmerson, who was Foreign Minister in
the British Cabinet in 1910, and painfully
practical politician, made light OF the great
scheme, even to the verge OF fippancy, and,
it is believed, did not take the trouble to
submit it to his colleagues.
Baron Hirsch's millions, II he be pre-
pared to spend them, may advance his pro-
jeet to the experimental stage, but, beyond
that in the opinion Of all practical men on
this side Of the Atlantic. It is not likely
to 90.

These statements require confirmation, and
