last sentence of the firsS- resolution,
seeking to extend such a system beyond
Great Britain to other civilized nations
On the same afternoon, in the House
of Representatives, Mr.. Pearson, OF
North Carolina, introduceda a resolution
authorizing the President to invite the
nations of the world to appoint dele
gates to an International conference,
to be held at such time and place as
may be agreed upon, for the purpose OF
establishing permanent international
court of arbitration for the final settle
ment of all such matters of dispute as
the nations participating in the con-
ference may define and agree to submit
to arbitration. The President is re-
quested to communicate to Congress the
correspondence which may be inter-
changed on this subject.

Mckinley to the Fore.

There are always plenty of people
looking for weak points in the record
and standing of conspicuous leader.
Ex-Governor Mckinley is now paying
the penalty of being the leading candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
President, with a prospect of success
brilliant enough to make all opponents
green with envy. He is attacked on
account of his mild manners in politics,
and because he did not conduct him
self with a flourish as chief executive
of Ohio. Fault is found with the
money plank of the Ohio platform,
which he is said to have written, and
he is frequently notified that he can
not depend on the protection theory to
carry him through without specifically
defining himself on silver. Then there
are people who think that because Ma
ior Mckinley is a native of this state,
gro wing up unobtrusively and modest
ly entering upon the fight of life, a
common soldier boy at II years of age;
the Captain of volunteer company
and not great General when the con-
fict closed, afterward an everyday
lawyer and Prosecuting Attorney in
his county, and local politician who
broke into Congress, it is absurd to
talk about making him President; that
he is getting too ambitious for his be-
ginnings and his surroundings.
Notwithstanding all this Major Nc
Kinley is forging ahead splendidly. He
is an original Ohio man, and only a
small proportion of Ohio people are SO
narrow as not to be appreciatiye OF
home talent and worth. The Republi-
cans of other states of the Union have
taught their Buckeye friends a lesson.
Mckinley is not mere local candidate
or "favorite son" of Ohio. This state
did not lead in bringing him out for
the Presidency. There is no other can.
didate who has such general support
in nearly all sections of the country.
His, canvass has been manly and direct
He has not hidden behind an assump
ton of shyness, but has invited early
and prolonged inspection by the people
His methods have not been those of in
direction. He has been open and frank
He has pursued course that only {
man with clear record can afford te
adopt. He is q man, too, with cen
tral, commanding idea in politics.

International Court Of Arbitration.

Mr.. EDIToR:-On the afternoon of
April 29rd., the Convention seeking to
secure an International Court of Arbi-
tration met in Metzerott Hall, Wash
ington City, and received the report of
the Committee on Resolutions, which
after discussion and amendment was
adopted. 1t was substantially as fol-
lows:
This National conference of Ameri-
can citizens assembled at Washington,
April %, 1896, to promote international
arbitration, profoundly convinced that
experience has shown that war, as a
method of determining disputes be-
tween nations is oppressive in its op-
Grafton, uncertain and unequal in its
results, and productive of immense
evils, and that the spirit and humanity
of the age, as well as the precepts of
religion, require the adoption of every
practicable means for the establish
ment of reason and justice between
nations, and considering that the people
of the United States and the people of
Great Britain, bound together by ties
of common language and literature,
of like political and legal institutions
and of many mutual interests, and ami
mated by spirit of devotion to
law and justice, have, on many
occasions, by recourse to peaceful and
friendly arbitration, manifested their
just desire to substitute reason for force
in the settlement of their differences,
and to establish reign of peace among
nations; that the common sense and
enlightened public opinion of both
nations is utterly averse to any further
war between them; that the same good
sense, reinforced by common principles
of humanity, religion, and justice, re-
quires the adoption of a permanent
method for the peaceful adjustment of
international controversies, which
method shall not only provide for the
uniform application of principles of
law and justice in the settlement of
their own differences, but shall also by
its example and its results promote the
peace and progress of all peoples, does
hereby adopt the following resolutions:
1. That in the judgment of this con.
ference, religion, humanity and justice
as we'll as the material interests oi
civilized society, demand the immediate
establishment between the United
States and Great Britain of perma
nent system of arbitration, and thai
such a system be as far as possible ex
tended to embrace other civilized ma
tions.
2. That it is earnestly recommended
to our government, so soon as it is as
sured of corresponding disposition OF
the part of the British government, t
negotiate treaty providing for tn
widest practicable application of tn
method of arbitration to internationa
CONTROVERSIES.
3. That committee of this confer
ence be appointed to prepare and pre-
sent to the President of the Unite
States memorial respectfully urgin
the taking of such steps on the part G
the United States as will best conduc
to the end in view"

Sistersville, W. Va, April 2s.-Yes
terday afternoon the owners of the
Lucy Dye well, across the river, on Dog
Skin, put in large shot, which i'm
mediately made a splendid showing
This we'll has been gradually decreas
ing for some time, and now that it has
been shot it looks as if it was good 70,
90 or so barrels.
The splendid showing OF the Garter
Oil Company's we'll on the E. c. Free
land farm, out on Sancho, has justified
the belief that this territory was one
in which oil could be produced. This
we'll is now giving to its owners, on a
fair estimate, 90 barrels an hour, and
bids fair to sustain it's present flow.
Since this we'll has been drilled in,
over 200 acres of land have been in
creased to fine price. Messrs. Lock,
Sic maker and others are the leases of
the adjoining farms, and they have
been offered large bonus for their
leases, but have refused. 1t is reported
that they have made several locations,
and will commence putting up rigs for
as many wells.
The we'll which belongs to Bunnell
& Work, on the Schanwrecker farm, in
the ST. Mary's field is decreasing and
has dwindled down to 40 barrels, with
the probability of its continued flow at
that rate.
Franchet Bros. we'll on the Reynolds
farm, in the st. Mary's field, came in
today at o'clock and is good for so
barrels.
The Victor Oil Company received, at
Ben's run, today, car load of pipe
which they will put in their we'll on
