Congress alone has the power to coin

WILL APPEAL THE CASES
GAS WASTE QUESTION TO BE TAKEN
BEFORE SUPREME COURT.
Madison County VIII Test Judge Nc
Cures Decision Against In

Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Dec. 3-Monday morn
ing two suits will be filed in the Supreme
Court from this county, which are expected
to force the issues in the much-mooted OIL
gas discussion. Three weeks ago j. C. Lip
pencott and Others of Alexandria, filed suit
for injunction against oil operators in the
Alexandria field who were allowing gas to
escape and waste from their wells Judge
Mcclure made ruling against the injunc-
ton, holding that the laws against gas
waste being sufficient, no injunction could
be granted. The people will now follow
Judge Byron K Elliotts advice and carry
this case to the Supreme Court, which is
expected to overrule Judge McClures find
ing. Mr.. Lippencott and ]. ]. Netterville,
of this city, to-day decided not to file new
injunction suit i'll the Supreme Court of
this county They put extra stenographers
on the transcript work and will appeal the
Mcclure decision early Monday morning
The other appeal to the Supreme Court
from Judge McClures decision may not be
filed before Wednesday, This appeal will
be by the Ohio Oil Company, branch of
the Standard operating in Indiana, who lost
their case this week. These two appeals
will cover every point bearing on oil and
gas in Indiana and, it is said, it will be
useless for the gas-belt committees to wait
on Governor Mount until after the Supreme
Court rulings are handed down.
MIN Carver was the owner of the land
northeast of Alexandria on which the first
oil well in the pool was discovered last
April. He owned 100 acres, which he valued
at $4,000. To-day he sold one-half of his
farm-eighty acres-to o. w. Willetts, of
this city, for $1,000 On this half are located
three oil wells which are netting the land
owner $500 per month. He has two wells
on the half he has left. Carver is one of the
comparatively few to profit from the oil
boom. His brother, Bert Carver, who owns
the land in Alexandria on which many of
the wells now attracting notice are located,
is getting about $500 a year income from
the wells on his property. This is simply
the first man who attempts to cap a well
his land

REPORT ON GAS WASTE.
Inspector Leach Preparing His An
nual Statement.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
KOKOMO, Ind, Dec. 3.-The forthcoming
annual report of State Natural Gas Super
visor ]. c. Leach, of this city, when sub
mitted Jan. /, will surprise the residents of
the Indiana gas belt who look on natural
gas as a permanent fixture. to remain for
all time. Professor Leach is now hard at
work on the report and the document will
be in the hands of State Geologist Blatchley
in a short time. The facts and figures SUBJ
mitted will show an alarming decrease in
the gas supply since last years report and
fully justifieS the repeated warnings of the
supervisor that the wanton waste of gas by
the oil drillers was imperiling the life of
the gas field. Each annual report has
shown a decrease of pressure of fifteen to
twenty pounds to the square inch, the gas
diminishing in quantity year by year in an
increasing ratio. This year the reduction
will be more marked than ever, coming in
places alarmingly near the point of collapse.
Supervisor Leach, while he has not yet fully
completed his tests and measurements in
the entire field, believes that the completed
figures will reveal an average decline of
from twenty-five to twenty-five pounds.
This leaves the average pressure OF the
wells 225 The report will deal extensively
with the continued waste of gas by the oil
drillerS.

WON'T BE DISMISSED.
New Point Raised by the Democratic
Postmaster OF Mobile.

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 3.-For four days
past the newly appointed postmaster. P D.
Barker, Republican, has in vain endeavored
to obtain possession of the Office here from
Postmaster Rapier who is a Democrat. The
latter's attorneys have raised an entirely
new point of law which Inspector Tate
says has never been raised in his expert
ence nor has he ever had to transfer an
Office situated precisely as this one is. Post
master Rapier's commission expires in De-
cember, 1898. Mr.. Barker was appointed by
President Mckinley in October last. Mr..
Rapier has had no notice of his removal,
although Inspector Tate served on him to-
night Telegram hic instructions from Post
master General Gary, saying Rapier should
acknowledge Bankers commission as notice
of removal, no other notice being customary
with the department. Mr. Rapier's attor-
neys hold that the language of the statute
relating to postmasterS of the first class Is
special; that it provides that the President
shall appoint and may remove such officers
by and with the advice of the Senate. Con-
sequently, as Mr.. Rapier's commission has
mot expired, and Mr.. Barker's appointment
has not been confirmed by the Senate nor
Mr.. Rapiers removal confirmed by the
same body, Rapier is stin postmaster He
is now awaiting the next move of Mr.
Barker and the Inspector.

INSURGENTS PUSHED HARD
SEVERAL ENGAGEMENTS IN WHICH
THEY WE'RE DEFEATED.
General BlancO Preparing to Organize
an Army of Bushwhackers to Fight
the Cuban GuerrilIas.

HAVANA, Dec. 3.-Senor Canalejas, the
special commissioner of the Spanish gov
errment, has returned here from his visit
to the province of Pinar del Rio. He says
there are in the province 10000 "concen-
tlados," peasants gathered in from the
country in the neighborhood of the towns
for protection from the insurgents, or to
prevent them from joining the enemy, and
that they are all in want. OF this number
15.000 are orphans, and the majority are
children of tender years. The commissioners
ADDS that the concentrates are badly dis
tributed. AT Pinar del Rio, the capital, for
instance, there are only 460 of these un-
fortunate people, while at towns like Con-
solacion and Candelaria there are 1900
of the sufferers. The municipal authorities
of such places, the commissioner says are
without resources, and therefore unable to
do anything to relieve the restitution.
The governor of Pinar del Rio is endeav-
oring to relieve the critical situation in that
province, where a majority of the inhab-
itants are identified with the tobacco trade.
The crop this year is only half the normal,
though some good judges have put it at
about 60 per cent. of the usual yield. 1t is
lumored here that the agent of an English
syndicate intends to buy several Of the first
cuttings, and he is said to have offered
100000 for Coruna and &20O,O for Cabanas
and Carvajal.
There is great anxiety here to know the
terms of the message of President Mckinley
to Congress.
The central committee of the autonomist
party has passed vote of confidence in it's
president, as a result of the latter's nego-
tiations with the Reformist party to bring
about a union of both parties. Conse-
quently, Jose Pellon, Carlos Font, Antonio
Mesa and Dominguez, all lawyers, have
withdrawn their designations as members of
the central committee of the autonomists.
1t was officially announced to-day that
the Spanish cavalry in pursuing the insur-
gents under General Ducai, who is said to
have been badly defeated recently in Pinar
del Rio by the Spanish forces under General
Bernal, has surprised an inSurgent force
killing nineteen of the enemy and capturing
i've mounted men.
The Spanish column under Lieutenant
Colonel Aitolaguerre engaged the insurgents
at Arroyo Blanco, near Sancti Spiritus, and
had another hot engagement with the in
SurgentS at the DeliciaS farm, the inSurg-
entS, according to the official report, being
defeated badly. News is constantly expected
from several other columns operating in that
locality
At Remedies, the insurgent leader, Eloy
MonteagudO, a man of much influence
among his co-partisans, has formally sur
rendered. The columns under Colonel Bru-
ella and Colonel Palanca, while in the
Remedies district, fought the insurgents I'M
der General Carrillo and General Gonzales.
According to the official account, the in
surgents left twenty-five dead on the field
No further details of the fighting has been
received

CHICAGOANS INDICTED.
True Bills Returned Against the South
Town Assessor and Clerk.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-This afternoon the
grand jury voted to indict Assessor Richard
c. Cunning and Clerk Benjamin Barnett,
Of the South Town. Three true bills were
voted against Cunning. The charges on
which the bills were voted are: Malfeasance
in office, conspiracy and soliciting a bride.
Two indictments were voted against Clerk
Barnett He is charged with malfeasance in
Office and conspiracy. The indictments
charging the two officials with malfeasance
in office are based on the refusal of Cunning
and Barnett to listen to protests of taxpay-
ers while sitting as a board of review. The
alleged arbitrary manner in which they are
said to have ignored all protests and the re-
fusal to produce their books or in any way
to accede to the reasonable demands of the
protesting taxpayers constituted the basis
for the charge. The alleged concerted action
of Assessor Cunning and Clerk Barnett in
opposing the board of review and the re-
fusal to produce certain books and docu-
ments constitute the grounds for the con-
spiracy charges. On what evidence the
charge of soliciting bribe is based was not
made entirely clear tonight 1t was re-
ported, however, that a bride of $3.50 was So
licited from Charles c. Blanden, secretary
of the company, which owns large down.

evidence on which the indictment was voted
came from members of the firm of Lyon &
Healy large music concern. Some of the
evidence is said to be strong, and other wit
nesses will be called tomorrow.
