AN ALLIANCE FAVORED
LORD CHARLES BERESFORD WOULD
LIKE AMERICAN ASSISTANCE.
Thinks a Yankee-British Combination
Would Promote Peace-France Asks
Concessions from China.

LONDON, March 17.-Rear Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford, in an interview to-day,
warmly advocated an Anglo-American alli-
ance as a move in the direction of peace
and calculated to immensely develop trade"
He added: such an alliance is natural,
and believe the mere fact Of its conclu-
sion would deter others from attacking any
inadequately defended interests of either
country Now is the time to accomplish ii,
when the advantages are apparent to both
countries. A decade hence, when, if she
desires, the United States can have become
a firSt-class naval power and will perhaps
have adopted the policy of free trade, it
might not be worth her while to undertake
the responsibilities of an alliance with
Great Britain. When America has built
her navy she will be in a position to enforce
her demands, which will not take her long
now, with her enormous latent resources
and mechanical and engineering facilities.
An Anglo-American alliance would be the
most powerful factor in the world for peace
and the development of commerce"
Speaking of the possibilities of the United
States going to war, Lord Beresford re-
marked: eff she ever does, no matter what
happens at the beginning, she must eventu-
ally win, because of the enthusiasm and in
tense patriotism of her people
The Daily Chronicle in an editorial on the
growth of the Anglo-American alliance
idea, expresses the conviction that it is only
matter of time, but that it would be the
greatest mistake to try to rush the move
ment 1t says: America does not need
more help from us now than at any other
time. She is superabundantly capable of
meeting any situation that may arise. She
will have our friendly sympathy and neu-
trality in the Cuban question; and at this
moment it is difficult for US to offer more.
1t is quite certain that England would
by combination of European powers"
The Daily Chronicle reproaches Michael
Davitt, member of Parliament for South
newspaper on the subject of Great Britain's
attitude towards the United States in the
Cuban complications 1t says the message
will 'll serve the Irish cause and declares
that it is absolutely untrue that the En-
glish ruling classes are in sympathy with
Spain and hostile to America"

GLOOMY OIL MEN.
Another Cent Reduction and Many
Wells Prove Failures.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MONTPELIER, Ind, March 17-Not only
will the gas waste law put a stop to new
business in the great Indiana oil field, but,
taken with the declining market, makes the
producers very blue. To-day at the Stand
ards headquarters in this city the quota
lions were one cent lower throughout the
entire Eastern and Western fields Indiana
oil is now 81 cents The Hartford City field
is a worse disappointment to the producers
than either the Peru or Alexandria pools.
AS far as the operators have gone only one
producing well has been struck and that is
on the decline. All the wells drilled recent
~ have come in dry. The reservoir that
operators are always looking for in every
field has SO far failed to be found. The
Correll WELL drilled last summer, was the
first and last to show oil in paying quanti-
ties. The Manhattan Oil Company which
drilled this well, left the farm for some
reason and commenced drilling on the Har-
ry Correll and F'idler leases, south of Hart
ford City but failed to find the crude in any
other well. Other companies operating in
the same neighborhood also met with fail
ure. Tuesday the J. p Whitman well, which
was supposed would come in a producer,
was drilled into the sand 115 feet. but no oil
was found. This well Is located near the
Cornell farm and was expected to come in
doned. The Frank well was drilled in $50
feet and shot. but no sign of oil resulted.
The producers have left the field and con-
Guided that they are no nearer the pool
than they were last summer. The Cudahy
Company has commenced a well on the
Jacob Whitman farm north of Hartford City.
This is their first attempt in the new field.
Their location is supposed to be at the
extreme south end of the Dundee field A
well is also being drilled on the Allen Cad
bury farm, directly west of Hartford.
Should these two wells come in as the 9TH
ers, dry, it is expected that no other at
tempts will be made.
Operations in the Montpelier field have
livened up considerable since the roads have
dried up. The following are some of the
present operations going on: The Success

on the William Bloxsom farm in Noting
