questions are asked with interest ON this

they are propounded with anxiety, for
their answering is fraught with the ut
most significance to the British empire.

attendance. Whenever "a topic was up
for discussion among his fellows he used

Three prominent residents of Bing-

recently. AS they were returning home
the hounds struck the trail of a fox.
They followed it and came upon their
hounds barking under a ledge Of rocks
On the western slope of the old Baker
farm. One of them felt around the
lodges for any other hole by which tho
fox could escape, using a small crow
bar. He climbed to the top of the ledge
of rocks, striking all around with his
bar.
Suddenly it slipped through his fingers
and went down a small assure. In en-
deavoring to get it out he lighted match
and dropped it into the assure. \ flash

of flame shot upward higher than the
surrounding tree tops and illuminated
the surrounding country. About 100
feet below the place where the well was
burning they discovered a flow Of oil is

large enough to fill a two inch pipe. The

National Commission Presents TeH
EIghth Annual Report.


Eighth Annual Report.
WAsH1SeroN, Dec. 6.-The Inter
State Commerce. commission trans
mitted its eighth annual report to
congress yesterday. The report says
it is the duty of shippers, railroad
managers and citizens generally to
assist the government in running
down violations of the statute de-
signed to protect their interests 1t
recommends that carrying corpora
tions be indictab bic and subject to fine
for violations of the act The report
speaks of the unreasonable freight
Southern points Also Of the unrea-
sOnable rates on wheat It refers to
the failure Of many carriers to post
their traffic as required by law. The
comm lssiOn explains the necessity OF
providing single classification Of
freights for the whole country, say
ing that experience has shown the
necessity for congressional action,
and supports the belief that uniform
classification depends upon the pas
sage Of a statute requiring its accom-
plishment
After a lengthy review Of the rail-
road pooling bill, the report says:
1--WE su bulit for the cOnsidera ton OF
congress that pooling without other
remedial Legislation IS unadyisa bic.
Pooling under conditions to be APP
proved bv the commission and rem
dered capable Of easy and direct
regulation with accom- pan wing effect
i've remedial legislation we believe
might safely be tried"
On the government ownership of
railroads, the commission refraiDs
from expressing any opinion.
As to the financial condition Of rail-
ways, reference is made to the fnan-
cial embarrassment of railways result
ing from the commercial depression
and other causes. On June 80, there
were 100 roads in the hands of re ceiv-
ers- While the financial depression
has been a factor in bringing about
EN- barassment Of railways, it is be-
leved that many Of the receiverships
were the natural sequence of mis-
mana cement. Over-ca pitalizatiOn and
ill-advised projecting. Although the
traffic has largely decreased during
the year, the rates have also de-
clined, showing that there has been
unusual competition for the de-
creased traffic
The commission includes in its re-
port statistics of railways for the
year ending June 30, 1898 On that
date there were TIA, 461.77 miles of
line in the United States, being an
increase during the year Of 4,s97. IS
miles. The number Of railway cor
pOratiOns was l, $50, being an increase
of si0ty-eight over the pre- viOus year
The capitalization of the roads re
porting was $40, SOC, 235, 40 The
number of passengers carried was
593. $50, 612, and the mum Der Of tons Of
freight carried was 745, ll9, ASP. The
gross earnings were S122O, Isl. S74,
the operating expenses Ss27- 921, 299,
leaving net earning Of 1892. $50, 575,
which is equivalent to $2,314 per
mile of line.
The accidents OF the year show lit

is not expected until more uniformity
in such appliances has been attained
The report concludes with a summary
of desira bic amendments to the inter
