A New Wildcat Well.

The increase in production is due to the
fashy wells recently completed at Jefferson
Center, and it Is safe to say before this is in
print the increase given above will have dis
appeared. There is a perceptible decline in
drilling wells and a slight increase in rigs,
caused by the new operations OIL Muddy creek,
which, however, as yet have not presented any
thing sensational. At Petersville q little ter
ritory has been found, or at least extended.

New Well at Wildwood.
W1LDwooD-As has been presented to the
readers of THE DISPATCH for some time,
Wildwood is no longer the birthplace of sur

sents affairs here that have prevailed for some
time. There was. however, slight innovation
yesterday on the Wallace heirs No. 4, owned
by Finegan Downing, which is reported to-
night as three bits in the sand and good for 100
barrels a day. 9reenlee & Forsts No. Alston

The same monotony that has marked the
progress of events in the past 80 or go days
in the field situation was not changed dur
ing the past "a hours. At CHARTERS, or
rather Grafton, Patterson, Jennings & Co.
were fortunate in striking rich bed in old
territory, and the we'll started off at 600
barrel gait. Its collapse will soon follow, as
the history of this efervescent pool could
not consistently convey any other conclusion.
No particular importance whatever is attached
to the new hnd and in few days matters here
in this relegated spot will have resumed their
normal condition. AS usual, this phenomenon
in old territory acts like the star OF hope, and
the incentive to ind an outlet to the once
famous pool will be inde1ed in number of
new rigs.

Hounding Russian Hebrews

Clearly the great car of oil the Russias
has for some unknown reason a deep-rooted
animosity toward the Jewish inha itants Of
bis dominions. Ostensibly it is based upon
the alleged participation of some Hebrews
in the nihiistic plots that have from time
to time been discovered. At all events be
has evidently made up his imperial mind
to punish the whole race severely so far as
its members are within the reach Of his auto
cratic power
According TO a recent dispatch from War
saw, over hundred Jews have already
been detained at the Russian frontier in
obedience 10 the latest imperial edict, which
forhids them to emigrate. Not only are
they to be forbidden to enter commercial
pursuits without especial permission, and
In many cases despoiled Of the sccumula-
hibited from escaping the cars vengeance
by removing to foreign lands
Very likely this is the first manifestation
of the czars anger at what he considered
the unwarranted interference of the promi-
nent Jews of Europe when he first ordered
the confscation of the property Of all those
who might be found guilty of usury. OF
course the servile minlons of the autocrat
found no difficulty in satisfying themselves
that all were guilty because they shared in
the spoils thus secured.
But what aroused the cars anger more
than anything else and what he most bit
terly resented YVES probably the interior
ence Of the Rothschilds and other Jewish
bankers to reuder the latest Russian loan a
failure That is what the poor Jews of
Russia will have to suffer for. By way of
making them loyal subjects" he may now
take the notion into his autocratic head to
conhscate enough OF their property to supply
the deficiency caused by the interference of
their wealthy brethren abroad Such an
idea would not be at all unlike him.

AtHome TO Stay.

It is pretty well understood that Fred
erick Douglass. the American minister to
Hayti. is at home TO stay. Even so radical
"a republican paper as the New York he
c0rder says that he "can do bis country
better service here than IN Hayti. His
appointment was a sentiment, and, like
sentiment generally ia public affairs,
mistake"
Minister Douglass has done a great deal
Of talking since his arrival from Hayti, and
in nothing he has said has he shown his
fitness for the responsible position he holds
He is not a dipl matist in any respect.
His career In Heyti has been total failure.
He doesn't appear TO have accomplished
anything that IS Of any benefit to this
country. He has succeeded in one thing
and that is talking too much. Most diplo-
mats are inclined to bs reticent. Minister
Douglass has reversed the rule. Even the
state department finds it difficult TO get him
to keep his mouth shut. 1t may bo that he
didn't hunt up a newspaper reporter as
soon as he arrived in New York, but he
was evidently anxious TO see one, and when
the reporters approached HIM he didn't
need a second invitation to talk.
One Of the things he was expected to do
in Havti was 70 get coaling station on the
island for our government. He didn't sue
coed. and, according to his story the reason
he didn't was that he was instructed by the
state department to make the request for
the station subordinate to a demand Of a
New York steamship company for a large
subsidy-the subsidy demand being based
upon alleged benefits which Hayti had re-
ceived from this country and also from the
steamship company.
President Hippolyte declined to pay any
subsidy, for reasons which appeared to be
very satisfactory to him, and he also de-
chned t. grant this government an indie
pendent cJaling station. The refusal to
grant the coaling station appears . have
bad some connection with the steamship
oampany's demand for a subsidy.
Minister Douglass, therefore, accomplished
nothing, but when he reached this country
be made statement that does not appear o
be very creditable to this government. 1t
is not to be wondered at that republican
papers are saying that he can render better
service here than in Hayti. And IL is not
easy to see that he can render any service
here
The story that Minister Douglass locked
himself in his room and was nearly fright
ened to death when Hippolyte was having
some Of those who were plotting against his
government shot to death III the streets OF
Hayti's capital may be somewhat exsgger-
ated, but there is enough in it probably to
show that Minister Douglass does not COM
mand enough respect in Hsyti to enable
him to be OF use there to this country. His
diplomatic career may be considered as
ended. Aud tue government is not proud
OF its Hsytian minister.

That statement recently made at Atlanta
to the effect that Lawyer Tom Watson had
burned his library and intended to abandon
the practice of law was probably nothing
more than a canard. So foolishly absurd
performance as that would not be at all
likely to raise hum in public esteem so as to
put him in line for an alliance nomination
to succeed Gov. Northen. Such a sugges-
ton implies that the alliance is particularly
partial to fools. That imputation is a
SANDER upon the alliance. Beside there
has not been heretofore any evidence to
establish a suspicion that that congressman
is either fool or a demagogue. Conduct
such as he is accused of by that anonymous
and irresponsible dispatch would prove him
to be both-if it were true.
