FRANCE AND RUSSIA.
Much Speculation as to the Missions
of Minister RibOt.
THE ATTITUDE OF DRIEDBUND.
Toward France and Russia 10 Be Probably Dis
eussd-A German Avowal in Regard TO an
lurOpsan Commercial Lugus-m De-
ngn TO isolate France or Russia

PARIS, Aug 9.-M. Ribot, French
Minister of Foreign Affairs, will go to
Lausanne az the end of this month on
a vacation, during which he will meet,
either at Lousanna or at Ducerne, the
the Russian foreign minister, Nj. De-
Giers, who is also about to make a hol-
iday sojourn in Switzerland. The
meeting is the subject Of much specula-
ton apart from the Franco-Russian
military entente already partially ef-
fected. NJ. Ribot, according TO dip
lomatic report. will sieze the chance 10
consult with NJ. DeGiers on the menac-
ing attitude of the Driebund Zoller-
VERNE toward both France and Russia.
Yesterday evenings North German
Gazette frankly avows-what the French
foreign Office has long suspected-that
the ultimate object OF Germany In pro-
noting European commercial league
was the conclusion OF tariff conventions
with all States outside OF Europe. A
semi-official communication in the North
German Gazette repudiates any design
to isolate France or TO interfere with
Russian commerce, but the palpable re-
suit Of the Zolerverein In placing the
parties to the compact In an advantage
Gus position for the negotiation OF COM
mercial treaties with foreign states Is
dwelt upon.
II NJ. Rlbot succeeds through his
conference with M. De Giers In effect
| ing an economic entente between the
two countries it will greatly add to the
repute Of both statesmen.
William Fullerton, a young Ameri-
can, a graduate Of Harvard, replaces M.
De Blowitz as the working head OF the
Paris office Of the London Times. Nj.
De Blowitz continues his special con-
tributions. DIR. Fullerton has been con-
nected with the Times staff, and has
done good editorial work for two years.

YUMA, A. T., August 9.-Reports
continue to come in from the earth
quake region at the head of the Gulf OF
california. Two Cocopah Indians OF
the tribe that live near there arrived
here yesterday. They tell thrilling
story. Early Thursday morning hun
dreds Of mud volcanoes, thirty miles OIL,
burst into a violent eruption. The air
grew denSer and many infants were
spffocated. At last a violent thunder
storm cleared the air only 10
show the tidal waves approach
ing with frightful rapidity. The
waters rose, swallowing mp their
cattle. horses and grain fields, and
driving them for their lives to the top
of the Mesas, a hundred feet high above
the river. The earthquake shocks then
began. The fourth threw every one
down, seriously injuring many. The
dust darkened the air; the rumble OF
the earthquake, the sharp explosions OF
the distant volcano, the believing OF
the crazed cattle and the general up
roar became unbearable, aud the
frightened Indians broke aud fed
wildly up the river. Two only sue
ceeded in reaching here who tell the
s.orv. The others dropped exhausted
along the route.

THE PIrTsBURG FAILURE.
scnmertz's Liabilities VIII Roach One Mil
lion Dollars.

PIrTsBURG, August 9.-An execution
of SOS, 900 was issued yesterday against
w. +. Schmertz, the shoe manufac-
tnrer. The causes OF the failure are
being Developed, and 1t now looks rs "
the liabilities will amount TO
one million dollars. Mr.. Schmertz
was one of the moving spirits in
the Maryland Central Railroad enter
prise. A plan was put on foot a few
years ago to build belt railroad about
Baltimore. The idea was TO squeeze
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany into paying handsomely for re-
moving the belt railway out OF their
competitive field.
The Baltimore and Ohio people
learned, however, that capital was not
any too plentiful with the people be-
hind the Belt Limo enterprise and they
quietly sat down and waited until the
latter were forced TO sell out away be-
low expectations. In this way Mr..
Schmertz lost big money. be lost
heavily. also, by the failure Of p. Wag-
ner, Pittsburg shoe dealer, and the
falling of in value OF Philadelphia
natural gas stocks, Of which he was q
heavy holder.
1t is claimed that William Loeffler,
the glass manufacturer, who caused the
issuing of yesterdays big execution
against Mr.. Schmertz, broke faith with
the firm OF which w. f. Schmertz was
the head.

fight was one sided from start to hnlsh,
Mcmillan, who had been nearly starved
in order to weigh in under 144 pounds
being so weak from his training that he
could hardly have fought school boy:
The fight was for 70 and % per cent. OF
the gate money and a small side bet,

coaches on the train from Chicago con-
tanned about $50 men at S12 per head.

BIG JUMP IN OIL
a n Unexpected Rise stsrtles the COnsOli-
dated Exchange.

New YORK, August 9.-An unexpec-
ted rise i'm the price Of oil occurred on
the Consolidated Exchange yesterday.
Tho price was 57]s at the opening, tut
rapidly advanced until il touched 7O]S.
A broker, supposed to be an agent Of
the Standard Oil Company, engineered
A decline in the price Of September Op-
Mons, practically the only one dealt in
OF the Exchange, last Friday, and the
price went down TO 5135, which Is as
Iow as oil has been in many years.
Ii was learned yesterday that the
Standard had removed the premium Of
ffteen cents per barrel from field oil.
Tie greatest part Of the companY'S
Business has been in field oil and the
tremium has been paid for long time.
Nhile there has been great deal OF
brrning of field oil the Pipe Line GER
Ilfcates have been very little dealt in.
As soon as the announcement was
nade it was expected that the differ
nee between the price of field oil and
Nc price of Pipe Line certificates would
IS made up, which expectation was
nore than realized. This large ad-
fhnce is likely to increase the interest
q oil trading.

DUG FOR WATER. FOUND A UA,-.
Remarkable Result of Kentucky Mans
Excavations.

FRANKLIN, KY, Aug. 9.-Mr. Austin
MallOy Is farmer living In the northern
part OF this county. Some time since he
decided to have we'll dug on his prem
iSes. The services Of a water-witch were
called into requisitlon and the turn OF
the infallible peach tree switch located
a spot where a stream of water would be
struck. The well-diggers set to work,
but had not gone more than six feet
when they encountered stratum Of
rock. This caused no surprise, as the
farm lies in a rocky district and near by
is a small rock-covered mountain called
Pilot Knobb, cast up by some seismic
cOnvulSion in forgotten ages. They
went down into the solid rock ten,
twenty, thirty, forty feet and yet no in
dicatiOn that the rock was giving out.
Mr.. Mallory is a very determined man,
and when he undertakes job he carries
IL TO completion, be the obstacles what
they may. He instructed his men 70
blast away, as he was bent on finding
water IL he had to blast into China.
They went ten feet further down, with
no developments. They were soon to
be rewarded. however. All the prepa-
rations for an unusually heavy blast had
been made, the fuse was touched off and
the men were drawn ont to await re-
suits. After the smoke Of the explo-
sion had cleared away they looked down
and found they had struck cave.
Lights were let down to be sure there
was no damp and three or four ven
tured. Their eyes were dazzled with
splendorS rivallng in magnifcence the
fanciful scenes described in the lore Of
the Orient.
Wandering about the explorers came
upon a small river OF crystal clearness
ia whose waters strange-looking fishes
disported themselves, and whose merry
rippleS had furnished music for centur-
les with no other audience than the
eternal rocks. A pool Of water was also
found, which, so far as they could
sound, was bottomless. On the banks
of the stream was found the wreckage
OF what had once undoubtedly been an
Indian canoe, drifted there, doubtless,
from some other water course and pre-
served so long by the pure atmosphere
of the cave.
The adventurers explored the cave
for considerable distance in each di-
rection, but found no limit or reduction
of dimensions. Mr.. Mallory designs to
have the cave thoroughly explored. 1t
is unQuestionably the greatest cavern,
excepting Mammoth Cave in Kentucky.

CORNER STONE LAYING.
The Now Catholic Church Begun at wash

Special telegram 10 tie Register.

Spsai0g TsleOr0m TO the Register.
WASHINGTON, PA. August 9.-The
formal laying Of the corner stone OF the
new Catholic Church, on East Wheeling
street, took place this afternoon. The
event was the most notable which has
occurred in the history Of Catholicity in
this city. The Knights of st. George,
OF Wheeling, was the first organization
to arrive, coming on the early train
over the B. & o.
At two o'clock the Knights Of st.
George and the local G. NJ. B. A. formed
at the rooms of the latter organization,
and headed by the Washington military
band, marched to the CHARTERS Val
ley railroad station to meet
these delegates from Pttsburg and vi
cinity. The train was an hour late, and,
during the intervening time, the Knights
Of St. George, in command OF Capt. Geo.
MathisOn, gave an exhibition drill, the
various difficult evolutions being loudly
applauded by the crowd. 1t was the
general verdict that the Knights OF st.
George Is one OF the best drilled bodies
which mas ever visited this city.
The delegation from above arrived
shortly after three o'clock, and the line
was formed Immediately, and moved In
the following order:
CITY Marshal John DAILY, and assistants
p. ]. Moffat aud + f. Goodurn, mounted.
First battalion Hibernian Rifles, Of Pitts
burg, with band.
Board Of Erin. Pittsburg.
A. 0. H., Of Pittsburg.

/ drews, Allegheny; Cosgrove, OF Temper
ancevllle; Canovan, OF Pittsourg; Doyle,
/ of Washington, and others.
C.M. B. A, of Washington, and mem
! bers of the Washington Catholic Church.
The procession moved over the prin-
cipal streets, and was everywhere the
mark Of admiration. There were about
six hundred men in line. Pittsourg
alone sent down two trains OF eleven
coaches each. The line halted at the
church where the ceremonies COM
menced about q quarter past four
o'clock. An immense crowd stood In
I the SLreeL III lIOub VI buO NhUANA ANtA
herring several thousand people. The
exercises were conducted by Acting
Bishop Rev. Father CoSgrove, OF Tenn
peranceville, who delivered an eloquent
discourse appropriate to the occasion.
The impressive ceremonies OF the Cath
olic church were followed. A collec-
tion was taken up in the crowd during
the ceremony, and quite a handsome
sum was realized.
TIE new Catholic church when COM
pleted will be a handsome structure,
and one Of the largest edifces in the
city. 1t will cost upwards OF $4,000.
It's erection marks an epoch In the
Catholic history Of Washington, and re-
fleets great credit upon the able pastor,
Rev. Father Doyle. The site Is thas
occupied by the old church. o9TSicSS I,S >,

THE BARDsLEY CASE.
Ex-Bank-Examiner Drew Makes a State
ment TO Secretary Foster.

ment to Secretary Foster.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, August 9.-Ex-
Bank Examiner William p. Drew to-
night forwarded to Secretary-of-the-
Treasury Foster detailed statement Of
his work in connection with the Keystone
National Bank. The statement is in
vindication Of himself and deals with
action of Comptroller Of the Currency
Lacey in asking for his resignation
owing to his omission In his January re-
port Of the condition OF Keystone bank
OF the Clearing House loan. In relation
to the omission Mr.. Drew says 1t was
purely an oversight In transcribing.
He was not aware Of the omis-
sion until June %. 1t would
have been fair, the statement says,
to the examiner, that his reports partic-
ularly concerning bank known TO the
comptroller to be in an unsatisfactory,
not to say perIlous condition, should be
promptly and fully collated in the
comptroller's Office, and all important
discrepancies clearly pointed out at
once.
In conclusion, Mr.. Drews says he be-
lieves he has demonstrated that the
omission in the report referred to was
largely supplied by the letter transmit
ting it when understood or could have
been logically inferred from other In
formation in the comptroller's Office,
and was virtually without practical ef-
feet In governing the department In its
action toward the bank In question.
