WAsHINGroN, D. C., April 26-Supt. Porter, of the Census Office, has written a letter to $. M. McLallin, of the Topeka (Kan.) Advocate, in reply to one from MT. McLallin, in which he critic ises the Cen sus Bureaus report of reco rded indebted ness. Mir. Porter makes it Q ear that th @ Census Bureau, by the terms of the law, is restricted to inquiries as to indebted ness of farms and homes. '" Mir. Porter explains the fact that the Census Blu reau is not including all real estate mort gage indebtedness, but confined it's inves tigations to the re strictions of the law h conclusion, Mir. Porter says: "I can only say for the purpose of this commu n ication that there is no ex explanation suffi cieut to defend the inclusion of interest mortgages with principal mortgages, be cause if this is done both the amount oi principal and the rate of interest are mis represented. l believe that you are trying to arrive al the facts in regarc to mortgage indebtedness just as the Cen. sus Office is, and that If you were to kno " what this office has done and is doing yol would offer your cordial support."s

Tho Deepest We'll in The World to be Sunk

WHEELING, w. Va, April 29.-Major c. A. Powell, Chief of the United States Gea ogical Survey, has appointed Dr. Will liam Hallock. a trained and exper .enc ed physicist, to co operits with tue Wheeling Development Company ia sinking an ex- tsaordinary well near this city.
 The well in question has already been bored by the Wheeling gentlemen to a depth of 4,loo feet, and was started with the avowed intention of boring until either oil or natural gas was found, if they had to go through to China,
 There are few wells in existence as deep ns this, the deepest ever sunk being 4,G00 feet Prof White interested the Govern ment geologists in the project of go m z down to the greatest depth ever attempted for the purpose of ssoertaiuing, in the in terest of science number of th ings con cernns the state of affairs in the bowels of the earth.
 to sink the hole 1, ls0 feet deeper. At the present depth 1t costs g foot to drill There ia not thought to bo any reat chance of striking oil or gas In the further pro gress of the hole, although there is possi- bilty of doing so. It will be a great thing, however, to sink the well as deep as the scientific interest makes desirable.
 It s proposed 10 keep a careful measure meat of all the strata gone through by the drill and save samples Of each different formation. These will be arranged in glass tubes in the proportonats thickness in which they exist in the earth. This tube will be exhibited at the Worlds Fair at Chicago. in 1893, and afterwards pre- served in Washington, and careful state ments of what is revealed by tho drill in it's descent will also b. kept at Washinsto for the information of all tho nations of the earth
