into the pay until yesterday and its
exact production will not be known
until it is put to pumping.
Mccormick and Nicely are due
not later than Wednesday at their
No. on the north end ofthe same

Pittsburg capitalists were in the
city this morning completing the

due today at their No. d Bever in
the Wilson run pool. Recent de.
veiopments in that field have been
OF an encouraging nature and sew
eral new locations will likely re.
suit.
A more hopeful feeling exists
among the operators and consider
able field work will be done during
the fall months. The only imped-
lment at the present time is lack OF
desirable territory. This same OBJ
stacle may prevent a fall increase in
work, but the wildcatter is resum-
Ing business again, and in all prob
ability he will find something be-
fore the winter months. The north
east extension of Elk Fork is vet
the busie st place outside of the
deep sand stuff and many wells will
be completed in that locality before
the holidays.
Oh went up one cent today. Just
hold your oil for the price will be
much higher, or else all signs fail.

d. S. VS. REPORT.
Throughout the entire southwest
during the past week not a dis
covery Of any Importance was made
in either old or new territory. Op-
orators are more WatChful of new
work, and there is an increasing
inquiry for new developments in
localities at all likely to open up
producing territory. The demand
for leases is better than at any time
for more than two years. In Butler
! Allegheny and Washington coun-
ties, usually designated as local
territory, more work is now under
way and starting than has been re-
corded at any one time in more
than a year. The work for the
most part is scattered over the old
fields, and is scarcely noticeable ex-
cept taken collectively.
The fifth sand development in
the Little Deer creek development,
this county, leads in activity and
interest. 1t fact, it is the only To-
cal development which contains an
element of doubt a to the final re-
suit in both extent and producing
qualities. Up to the present the
completed wells do not furnish a
probable index to either.

WINCHESTER, Ind, Sept 3.-Sergeant
Ulysses G. Daily. of Company F, One-hun-
dred-and-ifty-eigh Indiana Volunteers, is
at home on a ten days furlough. and while
here will file his bond and qualify as city
marshal, to which Office he was elected be-
fore entering the army He speaks in the
highest terms of the treatment accorded the
men at Chickamauga Park by their SUI
perior officers and makes the broad asser-
ton that no soldier in the camp can charge
his sickness to the negligence, Indifference
or inattention Of his superior officers. The
general hospitals he claims were most adj
mirably equipped and supplied with trained
nurses, who gave the sick every attention.
The division hospitals, he says. were not so
we'll managed largely because of the negli-
gence of the stewards, who were detailed
from the various regiments to serve there.
The surgeons were, he claims, very much
overwolked. DR.. Paul Barcus, of the One

steering the number of men at the park and
the length OF time they were kept mere, ne
thinks me percentage of sickness and deaths
was low. The food supply furnished by
Uncle Sam was always ample in quantity,
of the best quality and OF considerable va
riety. The dysentery SO much spoken or
was due largely he thinks. to the indiscre-
ton of the men themselves, who after pay
day filled up on pies and other indigestlble
food. while the typhoid fever was due not
so much to an inadequate water supply as
to the fact that the water had TO be hauled
from the springs and stood in barrels until
consumed. This difficulty is entirely over

near the camp furnish an inexhaustibie
supply of pure water.

SPANISH TRADE DEPRESSED.
Now Believed to BE the Time to Make
n Commercial Treaty.

WASHINGTON. Sept. s.---At the end of
the second onth~of the war with Spain the
effect of the hostilities on Spanish trade
had been to depress it considerably, as re-
vealed in a report to the Department. Of
State, by Theodore Mertens, United States
consular agent at Valencia. He says that
in the month of June there was a decline of
$9,S4S,000 in the value of importations, while
the export trade increased only 81. 1857 900,
principally in raw materials sought after
from abroad on account of the low value of
the peseta. The consular agent urges that,
now that the war is over. American capital
should take advantage of the opportunity
to exploit Spanish trade: before the coun
try RECEIVERS from it's present inertia. He
believes that trade treaties should be nego-
tiated and that commercial enterprises
should be organized to do business in Spain
under concessions that may be obtained.
Many industrial enterprises might be opened
by Americans and made to pay we'll by in
telligent management, as evidenced by the
success of the French capitalists now en-
tering the same field.

Defining am OIL Refiner.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA ruling defin-
ing refiner of OIL in connection with the
war revenue law, was made to-day by Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Scott, on an
official inquiry as to returns required from
persons, corporations, ETC., engaged in re-
timing petroleum. The department holds
that on the question presented it is not ma
terial what the product is, or is called, or
what method of refining be employed, pro-
viding petroleum be refined The decision
says:
The fact that one concern extracts by
distillation the more volatile constituents
from petroleum. and that another refines
crude petroleum in connection with GER
tain per centum of the product of the first
concern and produces lubricating oils, vase
line, etc, does not seem to place such sec
ond concern in a different class from the
first. They both appear to refine petroleum,
and therefore. are both, in the view of this
office, from the light it now has, held to be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Sec
ton n of the war revenue act"

Democrats Said to BE in No Danger
from the Fusion Forces.

LITTLE ROCK, Sept. 3,-The state cam
paign closed tonight and the election will
occur on Monday. A full set of state and
county officers are to be elected, as we'll as
members of the Legislature. But little in
terest is centered in the general result, it
being conceded that the Democrats will
have an ample majority over the combined
opposition on state officers, and that the
ticket headed by Governor Jones will be
elected. There are several hot contests for
county Offices in different localities, where
the bitterest OF feeling has sprung up be-
tween factions, and in these places exciting
times are looked for. Whine the success of
their state ticket was never in danger the
Democrats have conducted vigorous cam
paign, mainly for the purpose of keeping up
representation in their state convention.
The PopElist and Republican candidates for
Governor have also canvassed the State,

the honor to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the LIST inst. in regard to the

when in the exercise of his consular func-
tons, and stating that you are not ad-

been adopted in regard to the importation
of goods from places in our military occu-
patton. In reply, have to inform you that
no special regulations have been adopted as
to importations from places in possession of
our military authorities in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippine islands. and no
questions have been raised in regard thereto
or considered, although some importations
from Porto Rico have been made into the
Port of New York. Such places are re-
garded foreign territory. and importa-
tons therefrom are dutiable under the law,
nd the requirements as to consular GER
LITIGATION of invoices, etc, are still in force

is of the opinion that the resumption by

Manila would be advantageous to commerce
