Tubular Well.

Mr.. @. @. Jones, Of Washington, IL in
Leonardtown and Is engaged In putting in

Mr.. Jones has been in the well business
since 1859 and has successfully bored wells
from Prince Edwards Island, Canada, TO
Maryland. In the well he il now working
IN he has struck water at q comparatively
shalloy depth and there is every indica.
ton Of Its being soft and pure. When the
pump is In and the well is in working or

about it, and be able to prove by demon.
stration the worth and advantage Of tubu.
lar wells and TO certify that G. G. Jones ID
the man TO make them. Among the cd.
vantages claimed for the wells are there Ii
no decaying wood about them TO vitiate the
water; the iron tubing keeps out the sur.

vermin from getting into the well.

HOLLYWOOD, May 2, 1896.
Messrs. Editors st. Mary's BedcOn-Dear
Sirs: Believing some language used by
myself in the Senate last Winter has SUBJ
jected Mr.. Thomas Fl. Bond to unfavora-
BILE and unjust criticism, feel called upon
in justice to him to make this statement, as |
understand was reported in the Baltimore
Herald as saying Mr.. Bond gave me $50 or
10 votes the last time l ran for the Senate"
and that the same was copied in the st.

Now, the following is just what occur.

my recommendations for the st. Mary's
appointments. No Democrat had said
anything to me about any appointment ex.

said he would recommend one man for
Supervisor of Election, aad, not having
heard any more from him, did not know
who he wanted, therefore I sent in his
name. Only the day after this Mr.. Garner
came to Annapolis. told him what I had
done. The same day the Governor sent
down Mr.. Gamers name with the other
St Mary's appointments. Thereupon Mr..
Garner said let il go so, aud asked several
Democratic Senators to vote for his confir.
nation, among them President Bruce, who
agreed to support him. as he told me. The
same day Mr.. Bond asked me to support
him for the Supervisors place, and told
him / had sent Mr.. Gamers name and
could not recall il, but remarked at the
time If the Democratic committee had sent
in his name ] should have respected their
communication. Mr.. Bond said no more
The same evening after this occurred Mr.
Bruce voluntarily told Mr. Garner that he
did not know l was his uncle, that he was
not the man for che place, and that he
would oppose his confirmation in the SEN

Mr. Bond OF saying something unfavorahla
to MIR. Garner. The Governor recslled the
whole list Of st. Mary's appointments. and
later sent down Mr. Bonds name in place

ARBITRATION SENTIMENT.
Meeting of the Arbitration League in
London Yesterday.
The Government Asked to Favor the
House of Commons Resolution
for Arbitration.

LONDON, Jan. IA meeting of the
International Arbitration League was
held here to-day, Sir John Lubbock
presiding. resolution was adopted
declaring that the dispute between the
United States and Great Britain was a
trumpet-call to English speakers on
both sides of the Atlantic, summoning
them to devise means to secure the
arbitration of future disputes and to
procure cooperation in promoting
friendship and abating animosity.
1t was also suggested to the Govern
ment that the present was a fit occa-
sion for effecting the resolution of the
House of Commons in favor of arbitra-
ton.
A committee was nominated, con-
sisting of the Bishop of Durham, Canon
Wilberforce, Cardinal Vaughan, Dean
Farrar, Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, Lady
Henry Somerset, Mr.. Stead and others.
The News" commenting on the meet
ing will tomorrow say: THE meeting is
likely to mark date in our history.
Doubtless there would be difficulties in
creating a permanent court of arbitra-
ton. one being the scope of reference.
1t should be universal, but that is a
very large order, yet if not so the first
impulse of excited feeling on either side
is to declare reference based on the par
ticular subject of excitement"
The News congratulates the meet
ing in its endeavor to promote mutual
good will, which, it says, is of capital
Importance and a condition precedent
to all effective legislation

ENGLAND'S FLYING SQUADRON.
Cruisers, Battleships and Torpedo De-
stroyers Ready to Start.
The Naval Demonstration to be the
Grandest Event of the Kind
Ever Yet Witnessed.

LONDON, Jan. 14.-The cruisers The
seus and Charybdis of the new flying
SQUADRON were put into commission at
Sheerness this morning. The battle
ships Revenge and Royal Oak, the
cruiser Gibraltar and several torpedo
destroyers were put into commission
at Portsmouth this morning.
Captain Curzon-H Howe was assigned
to the command of the Revenge, the
flagship of the squadron. Two thousand
men will be distributed among the
ships to-day.
Thirteen British war vessels from
SaIonica have arrived at Malta Their
future destination is not known, but
it is not expected that they will return
to the Levant.
The cruiser Hermione and six tor
pedo boat destroyers were put into
commission at the Davenport dock
yards and will join the flying squadron
at once
But little reliance is placed in the
statement that the fleet is to proceed
to Turkish waters. The arrival to-day
at Mclta of thirteen of the British yes
sells. which had been at Salonica as part
of the combined European feet, which
il was supposed was to make an effect
i've demonstration against Turkey, but
which did nothing but ride anchor week
after week. miles from the Turkish
Capital, is taken as pretty strong in
dication that the new squadron is not
going to Turkish waters.
