SALISBURY SPEAKS.
The Armistice Does Not Diminish the
Difficulties of the Powers.

LONDON, May 1S.-Speaking tonight at
the Junior Constitutional Club, Lord Sails
bury touched briefly on the complications in
southeastern Europe. The premier said he
regretted that political reasons precluded
him from saying much on the subject OF
foreign affairs. The armistice which had
been declared was due to pressure exerted
by six powers, especially Russia. 1t was
very important step. giving time for ref1ec-
ton and negotiations, but it did not serious
~ diminish the difficulties which had to be
faced. Neither Turkey nor Greece ought to
be under an illusion as to the real state
of feeling in the United Kingdom. He had
mentioned both countries, he said, because
in the dim future no one could know to
which of the two it might become neces-
sary to appeal for a solution of calcula-
tions generated in the minds of those they
affected to support Continuing, his lord
ship referred to the sympathies of England
for Greece as founded on classic associa-
ton, liberalism in politics and community
of religious conviction, as well as upon
other influences, but such considerations as
these, he said, could not be suffered to
guide the policies of nations for their pol

observance of international engagements.

A MONSTER GAS GUSHER
DECKER WELL SAID TO FLOW 49,
100000 CUBIC FEET DAILY.
Louisville Officers Who Murdered the
Rippey Boy Take the stand and
Claim Self-Defense.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ALEXANDRIA, Ind, May 1S.-The Deck
er oil well, some twenty-four hours after
shooting shows more signs of encourage
ment to the oil leaser than last night. The
gas continues TO flow at the rate, some
say, of 100000 cubic feet day, with salt
water and oil accompanying in about equal
proportions. Both oil and water are being
allowed to flow into the stream that runs
along the roadway a few feet from the well.
The tank had been erected on the well site
to contain the oil and arrangements made
for its piping, but owing to present con-
ditions these articles are being used for
the conveying of the immense quantity Of
gas. G.. w. Boyse has already arranged
with Chicago parties to buy and utilize all
the gas from the well, which will be con-
nected with the pipe line now running
through Grant county and pumped directly
The drillers say if the well were to be
permitted to flow off its gas .unimpeded that
IN the course of week the oil will un-
1oupIeuly appear in quantities equal to the
Carver well. This, however will not be
done Owing to the difficulty of procuring
Iuplng OF sufncient size it will be several
days before the larger-sZe pipe will be
on the ground sufficient to convey all the
gas from the well into pipes. The well was
sunk ninety feet in Trenton rock not so
deep as the Carver we'll by twenty-five feet
1t is located about five hundred yards
north of the Carver we'll. Some signs of
oil developed at about seventy-1ive feet in
trenton but the best flow was struck at
elghty-two feet in that rock.
MT Decker, who, together with the Amer
lcan wire nail works. at Anderson owns
half the lease, said that the well was
the largest gas well ever struck in Indiana
put that he was disappear ted in securing a
custer instead of an oier. The trouble
winch has been experienced in the Carver
well on account of the filling up at the bot
tom with shattered and powdered rock
caused by the shooting has been nearly
overcome and the oil will again flow in a
rev days The drfllerS seem in nowise dis
couraged over the disappointing features
OF the Decker we'll, but on the contrary are
pushing out after more leases than ever
The farmers, influenced somewhat by the
result or the past experiment, are more
reasonable in their demands, and the con-
ndence OF the leasers being unabated a.
greater number of leases are being recorded
than ever.
Three new derricks are being erected
within sight of both the Carver and Deck
er wells. while as many more are in OPP
Grafton at this time. In less than a week
several more wells will be completed. and

MINORITY RULES.
SiIverites Have Control of the Ken
lucky Senate-AImOst "a Fight.

FRANKFORT, KY, May 18.-The silver
Democratic minority, with possession of
the Senate, Goebel in the chair, and Brons-
ton on the floor, held the floor
through an eight-hour session to-day
and promises to continue it until
the end of the present session on Friday.
The gold Democratic-Republican majority
of each house is still determined that the
fusion bill shall pass the Senate at least
and that it shall go through both houses
this summer if there is any way to per-
suade or to force the Governor to recall
the session
Senator Holloway, a gold Democrat. tried
to strike Senator Bronston, the silver Dem
ocrat who is holding the floor, and while
he was being held away from him, Brons-
ton said: - you and your demands -
and then Turn him loose; l dare you to
lay your hand on me, you cowardly whelp. .
Adjournment came at Z o clock.
1t is plain now that the bill cannot be-
come law this session; that other impor-
tant legislation must go down with it, and
that upon the question of whether the
Assembly is reconvened and the bill then
passed depends the political complexion of
this State for several years to come.

WIPED OUT THE INSULT.
PuGiIist Cans Whipped Leonard, Who
Spat in His Face.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 1S.-The much
advertised boxing carnival under the
auspices of the Olympic Athletic Club.
which recently withdrew from the Ameri-
can Amateur Athletic Union to enable it's
management to go into the prize fighting
business for revenue, was not the success
confidently predicted. The club, which
claims to be the only pure athletic club
on the coast, counted on the support of its
1000 or more members to lend their patron
age to it's enterprise, but in this it was dis
appointed. 1t had been repeat
edly announced that nothing but
a square and gentlemanly contest
would be allowed; that the men
had been ''tried-out" and found ito be in
perfect condition, filling all the require
ments of the agreement" And yet at the
very beginning one of the men advertised
as a star contestant brought on from New
York, weighed ten pounds over the weights
agreed upon. Notwithstanding this big adj
vantage of Leonard over Cans, the colored
boy agreed to go on with the fight. When
the men were called to the center of the
ring for the customary handShake, as an
earnest of the absence of all i'll feeling in
their coming bout, Leonard violated all
rules and ethics of the prize ring and de-
l1Derately Spat in his opponent fact There
was an angry demonstration from the crowd
Wnlcn not subsidized for a moment, but Cans
kept cool and seemed satisfied to await his
opportunity for wiping out the insult. The
fight then began with both men sparring
cautiously. Cans took the lead from the
start and despite the deliberate fouls of his
opponent kept his head all through, several
times having his man weak and going
when the gong announced the end of a
round. The fight good and fast TO the
end and the referee very properly gave the
decision to Cans.
In the bantam weight contest to. night
LaWler was given the decision over Reilly
in the first round. The Baker-JeffrieS fight
was awarded to the latter, who knocked
out his man in the ninth round.

it seems idle and silly to account for the
great excitement caused by the Munyon
doctors on the ground that lit is fad
There is no fad about it. 1t is a fact OF
such an inspiring and happy character to
those who are being released from the
thraldom of disease that to class it as a
fad is to insult their intelligence.
None now question the skill of these
great specialists. None questions the value
of the remedies, none dispute the great
efficacy of the method of treatment. They
combine in a work of curing disease so ex-
ceptional in character, so mysteriously
marvellous, that even the best of the local
professors and doctors concede everything,
and join in the general verdict that nothing

Munyon cures have ever been heard of be-
