NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION.
1t II Falling on In Some States, bu
Increasing in Indiana.

Growing confinement Of the consumption
Of natural gas to domestic use is noted in
the annual report Of Special Agent Joseph
d. Weeks Of the geological survey. The
only state in which its use for manufactur-
ing purposes increased in 1893 is Indiana.
The total value of natural gas consumed in
the country in the year was S14, 346 80
against $14,sOO.I14 in 1892. Higher prices
charged for the gas in 1898 was the cause
of the decrease. The greatest value of the
gas consumed in any one year was SD, 629, :
S75, in 1888. Since that time there has
been a gradual decline, with an aggregate
of about $S,3OO.0OO less for last year than
1885,
All states show a falling off in value of
coal or wood, displaced by the use OF gas.
The amount Of this reduction in Pennsyl-
vanta was S420,OOO; in Ohio, s4S,OOO. and
Indiana, about 81 800.
The reported number of feet of pipe laid
increased during the year to II, $685. in
Pennsylvania, 5,720,373 in Indiana and
1,404,O9s in Ohio. The largest production of
the gas in Pennsylvania was sl9,2S2,375, in
1885, since which it has fallen to 81, ass, 0O0
Ohio showed the largest falling off in pro-
duction for the year. For 1892 the amount
was 81, 10000. while in 1893 it went down
to 81, 510,0O0
The most important gas field in any state
Is shown to be in Indiana, whose estimated
25,0 600 square miles. Whilst the supply is
falling far below the demand in other large
gas fields. 1t is declared to be well sustain
ed in Indiana. and supplies are being OBJ
tanned from the state by factories located
in other gas territories. The value of the
product consumed in the state in 1893 was
$5.71S,0O0. against $4,116,OO0 in 1892. Gas
consumed in Kentucky was valued at $685.
500, and in California, 49,, 600
Reports show that in addition to the three
states mentioned the gas is found in COM
mercial quantities in New York, Illinois,
Kansas, Missouri, West Virginia, Texas,
Arkansas, Utah, South Dakota, New Mex
leo, Tennessee and Wisconsin.

Sugar the Most Pronounced Feature
in Today's Speculation.
BASED ON WASHINGTON ADVICES
Continued Fall in Price OF Chicago
Gas Trust.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, April 3O.-The unlisted de-
partment took precedence again this morn
ing and advanced sharply under an in
creased demand. Last weeks high prices
have encouraged rather than deferred the
buying of the industrial stocks and the
room continues confident of further i'm
provement
Sugar naturally was the most prominent
feature. opening strong at an advance of
rs per cent over last weeks final figures
and selling up 1 per cent to 1861 during the
first hour. Realizing sales at top figures re-
suited in a setback to 104A, but subse-
quent rally restored early figures.
Washington advices are more than ever
encouraging, and the accumulation OF stock
by insiders familiar with the facts Is now
In progress. reduction of u per cent In
the market rate for refined sugar had no
effect on the price of the stock.
National Lead advanced 2 per cent at
the expense of the bears, who have per-
sstently sold the stock, even in the face
Of daily improvement in the affairs of that
company. The stock has earned and will
undoubtedly pay dividend on the COM
mon stock and this fact coupled with the
additional 1-2 per cent in the duty on white
lead has resulted in a revolution In senti-
ment. which is likely to prove profitable
to the stock in the near future. The pre-
ferred stock, paying per cent, Is being
bought for the double purpose of invest
ment and speculation, on the belief that II
will shortly sell at par.
Chicago Gas proved an easy mark for the
bears selling off per cent on considerable
activity. The decline was attributed to the
hammering of the stock by prominent ope-
rators. who sold 1t on the quo warranto ce-
cision and have been unable to buy il back.
In the railroad list prices were somewhat
irregular at the opening, but later steadied
up and at noon showed fractional gains.
The greatest gain was recorded In North
west, which advanced / 1-2 per cent on a
rather light volume OF business. st. Paul
gained SIS per cent. and Burlington and

MANY CHINAMEN REGISTER.
The Six Companies Want the Time
Limit Extended.

CHICAGO. April 3O.-The Cinnamon in
this district are registering rapidly these
last few days of grace. Up to date 1.b04
have put themselves beyond the reach Of
the law. They are still coming in platoons,
but Collector Mize thinks there will be be-
tween 600 and 1000 of them left out when
the registration closes.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 30.-The Chinese
Six Companies held big meeting here last
night. and again petitioned their minister
at Washington to memorabilia Congress
for u further extension of time for regis
tration under the McCreary act. Unless
their prayer Is granted the registration books
will be closed on Thursday next. Chinese
call attention to the fact that every incom-
ing steamer brings many Chinese. whose
sole purpose In returning Is to register,
many OF whom will not be permitted by the
customs officers to come ashore before that
time will have expired.
An arrest has been made here for the pur-
pose OF obtaining a legal decision as to
whether resident Chinese shall be allowed
10 deform the feet Of their female children
according to Chinese customs.
Of1cers of the Society for the Prevention
or Cruelty to Children arrested Ching Say

baby daughters feet to keep them from
growing. The officers intend to make a test
case, and, II successful. to prosecute other

Postal Cards Found Fault With,

Complaints of inferiority of the postal
cards now in use have reached the Post
Office Department during the past few
weeks. The number, however, is disclosed
to be small compared to the number re-
ceived during former periods of similar
length, and officials assert that none of
those far reached have been well
founded The dissatisfaction is caused by
the alleged excessively smooth quality of
the cards. frequently resulting in illegible
handwriting. All of the complaints have
been referred to Postal Card Contractor
WOODWORK Of Castleton, n. Y. 1t is stated
at the Post Office Department that practi-
cally all the complaints emanate from
chronic grumblers, and that, with the vast
amount of cards issued yearly. it is impos-
sible to prevent few of those of inferior
quality from being thrown into public use.

Miss Coxey Arrives.

In the meantime Marshal Carl Browne
had been engaged on important work. Day
before yesterday Jesse Coxey. the leader 3
son. had disappeared from the army, and
no one seemed to know Of his whereabouts.
It turned out today, however, that young
Coxey had been dispatched by Marshal
Browne on a secret mission, being no less
sister to come on and head the common
veal on its march to the Capitol.
1t will be remembered that the original
intention was to have this young lady head
the march the entire distance, but her
mother. who is Mr.. Coxey's divorced wife.
put a decided veto on the plan. Marshal
Browne, however. had never given up the
plan, and even without Mr.. Coxeys knowi-
edge he sent young Jesse out to make a
final effort. The result was shown this
morning by the arrival here of the young
She was taken to the National Hotel and
tomorrow. when the parade starts. she
will ride at the head of the procession.
This morning Marshal Browne showed
his versatility by making arrangements for
the outfit which this young lady will wear
In the procession He arranged for white
dress trimmed with blue and blue liberty
cap with the word Peace" on II, and a
large assortment of white flowers. Miss
Coxey will ride a handsome white horse
and will be feature certainly Of the
strange profession. She Is a young lady of
seventeen years of age and exceedingly
handsome. After Marshal Browne had con-
cluded his arrangements with the dress
maker he and Miss Coxey walked dowa to
Bells gallery and had themselves photo
fraphed in a large assortment Of positions.
The marshal is more than pleased with his
success in carrying out his idea of having
a young and charming lady at the lead of
the commonweal procession.
1T is most important" he said, that our
army should march up TO the Capitol led by
a young and pure girl, arrayed in emblems
denoting peace and with that word which IL
so significant of our mission conspicuous On
the liberty cap which she will wear"
Marshal Browne was severe In denuncia-
tons of the printed statements that either
he or Mr.. Coxey were in any way discour-
aged over the outlook for the movement
