corsage at the back with hooks. You may out

THE LOST OASIS FOUND,

Explorers Had Looked for 1t in Vain Evez
Since Giles Discovered It.
From the New York Sun.
In 1875, when Mr.. E. Giles made his famous
journey across the southern part OF Australia,
travelling through deserts that had never been
visited before, he discovered place that was
green and fertile. This oasis in the desert was
the result Of somo springs which came to the
surface there and gave the country for a large
distance around the aspect of rich and verdant
agricultural lands He named the place yicto-
ria spring, and when he came homo he said
many thousands Of cattle or sheep could be
raised there. He had nowhere seen mors prom
ising grazing land than this oasis.
Curiously enough he did not accurately de-
fine the position Of Victoria spring Ever since
his Journey the place has been marked upon
the maps; but several explorers who tried to
find Victoria spring have failed, and some crit
les wers unkind enough to intimate that the
oasis had existed only in tho imagination of the
man who described il.
Victoria spring has been discovered again.
Mr.. ]. P. Brooks writes from Israelite bay to
Baron Won Muller, who il well known for his
important labors in behalf Of Australian ex-
ploration, that a Swede named Frank Newman
has found Victoria spring. The letter says
that the spring is 135 miles north OF the short
Frazer range of mountains, in the southern
part Of west Australia, and that hereafter this
oasis may be easily reached from the south
coast. Neuman says, as Giles reported earlier,
that animal lie is abundant, that there is a
fine growth Of grass and that about LOCO acres
are splendidly adapted for sheep or cattle rails
ing. In fact it is q very beautiful and fertile
oasis in the midst Of a sea of sand, which will
never be turned to any profitable account.
But the most curious thing about Victoria

m'DONALD OIL WELL FIRE.
Steam COnquers the Flames--Loss to the
wheeling Company Heavy.


PIrrsBURG, August 27.-The burning
oil we'll Of the Wheeling Gas Company,
at Mcdonald, has been extinguished.
The efforts of tho men who for almost
a week have been fighting the fire were
successful at 1O:3O this morning.
Steam was the means used to conquer
the burning oil, and mans ingenuity
was sorely taxed to overcome the fire.
There were almost as many theories ad-
vanced as there were witnesses to the
burning well.
The chief difficulty in reaching the
burning oil as it came from the well was
in the shape Of the pipe leading from
the well. About ten feet from the
ground there was an elbow In the pipe
which carried the oil to the tanks When
the well was fired this joint became
loose, and the flames poured from the
the crack as we'll as from the further
end OF the elbow. 1t became necessary
to remove this Joint In order to reach
the fire as it came from the well. After
many efforts this was done this morn
ing, and the elbow torn away, leaving
the fame pouring out Of the straight
pipe.
In the meantime railroad ties had
been piled to sufficient height, and on
this were several rollers. Two ten-inch
steam pipes were connected with the
boilers and about two feet from the
ends were joined. A large cap was
then fitted on the end of the pipe. The
pipe was then placed in the rollers,
moved forward till the cap was over the
top of the pipe from which the burning
oil famed, and then the cap was dropped
over the pipe from the well, full head
OF steam was turned on and this finally
SmOthered the fire.
The loss to the Wheeling Gas Com
pany is variously estimated. The day
before the fire it was estimated the well
was doing $50 barrels per day. AT sixty
cents the loss to the company by reason
Of the burned oil would be over SIS, 900.
The losses by reason OF the burning OF
the derrick, tanks, tools, machinery,
etc. would swell the loss TO $4,000.
The we'll was set on fire at 1l:20 p. m.
one week ago tonight by passing
train, and has been fiercely burning
ever since. The most strenuous efforts
we're necessary TO prevent the burning
oil from setting fire 10 the town OF Nc
Donald and numerous wells in that
vicinity.
The we'll is still flowing, but it is diff
cult to gauge it. 1t will be plugged un-
til tanks are erected. The work OF
clearing up the wreck and rebuilding
tanks has already begun.

DOUBTS EXPRESSED
OF the Truth of Reports About Balma-
ceda's Triumph


ceda's Triumph.
WASHINGTON, August 27.-The dis
patch received here by the Chilian Min
lister announcing the defeat of the insur-
gents at vina del Mar, was shown to
Mr.. Foster, one Of the insurgent repre-
sentatives, this morning, and that gen.
tleman was asked IL he had heard any
thing from his party. He replied that
he had received the following cablegram
from their agent late last night:
'IQuIoUE, August 2G.-Notices in
spired by the dictator's agents In Lima
absolutely without foundation.
GSignedl "ERRAZURIz.
This, Mr.. Foster said, probably re-
ferred to the reported defeat OF his
party.
81 do not say that the dispatch re-
ceived by the Chilian Minister is not
correct" he continued, "but l think
that in case the battle had been fought
on the 25th and won by Balmaceda, he
would not have delayed so long IN
spreading the news"
Mr.. Foster also took into consider
alton that the forces of Balmaceda out
numbered those of the insurgents, but
said that in case the insurgent party
was defeated, it only meant a prolonRa-
tion OF the war, and that the insurgent
force would be increased In every pos
sible way, and the Dictator fought TO
the end.
Mr.. Foster momentarlly expects ad-
dItional advIces from his party.

THE COLOR QUESTION
In the Order of Patriotic Sons of America.
will Not Admit Them.


PHILADELPHIA, August 27.-At the
conclusion Of the reports OF the various
committee in the convention OF the
Patriotic Sons of America to-day, the
ouettion OF admitting colored men was
again indirectly taken up. The qnes-
tion came up under the guise Of a reso-
luton offered by tho Pennsylvania
dslIsEatesso that iioeessuE e :, tyezseirds vote
the constitution. The western dele
gates who have opposed almost to man
the admittance Of colored members into
the order, were taken by surprise at
this sudden move OF the eastern mem
bers, but they felt little alarm that 1t
would be successful, knowing that the
same number OF votes would be re-
Quisite as was required to amend the
constitution so as TO admit colored mem
bers. The debate that followed the
offering Of the resolution was long and
hot one. When the vote was finally
taken the resolution was defeated by
vote of SO to 80, thus settling in the
negative for another year the question
OF the admittance OF colored members.
Lebanon, Pa, was selected as the next
place of meeting and the third Tuesday
OF September as the time.
Following are the officers elected for
the ensuing year:
National President, Clarence f. Huth,
of Pennsylvania; National Vice-Presi-
dent, Joseph Williams, of Colo
rado; National Master OF Forms,
T. NJ. J. Reed, OF Pennsylvania;
National Secretary. Frederick Stees, OF
Pennsylvania; National Treasurer, John
Hoffer, of Pennsylvania; National Chap
lain, Rev. J. b. May, OF Pennsylvania;
National Assistant Secretary, Clare NJ.
Taylor, of Pennsylvania; National Con-
ductor, p. G.. Hess, OF Pennsylvania;
National Inspector, J. II. Hughes, OF
Pennsylvania, and National Guard, j.
B. Roberts, of Delaware.
At the conclusion OF the afternoon
session the camp adjourned.
