General Miles Will Be Asked to
: Explain Alleged Statements
e.. in Interviews.
Not Known Whether It Will
-, Take the Form of Military
Inquiry.
It May Be Difficult to Prove That
Miles Has Done Anything
Wrong.
Controversy Deplored as Tend
ing to Diminish the Prestige
of the Army.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. When Gen.
eral Miles returns to Washington he
will be asked for an explanation Of re.
cent,interviews appearing and the pub.
location of certain dispatches which the
war department has not made public.
Whether the investigation will take
the course of military court Of in.
quiry, or private interview with the
president, the secretary Of war and
General Miles, remains still to be seen.
Until the arrival Of General Miles,
the war department will not discuss
the matter. Secretary Alger says that
the department. will not enter into any
controversy with it's subordinates and
he does not propose to discuss matters
affecting General Miles during his alb
Sence.
Think Miles Gave Them Out.
The department is Of opinion that
General Miles made public the dis.
patches of the secretary, General Shat.
ter and himself. Such action, it re-.
CARDS as a breach OF military regula.
lations, but no military court can So.
cure proof that General Miles made
public the dispatches if he and the per-
son to whom they were furnished re-
fuse to give the information, as sew.
eral military trials have made it SET
tied law that no military court can
compel a civilian to testify it he does
not desire to. General Miles also may
be called to account for the interviews,
az, if they were not disavowed, they
would place him in the attitude of
criticizing his superior officers and sub
ject him to military discipline.
The Controversy Deplorsd.
The publication of the dispatches,
taken together with previous inter.
views in the Kansas City Star, were
the topic of conversation among off.
GERS Of the war department., and al.
ready there is disposition by some to
take sides in the matter, while others
deplore the conditions as tending to
lower the tone of the army, and to do
irreparable injury to the service. It is
expected the controversy will extend
to both houses of congress, and it 10
feared will have an adverse effect on
legislation which will be asked to bet.
ter the army. 1t is generally under.
stood that the regular force will have
to be largely increased, at least until
the conquered islands are disposed Of,
and it is feared that legislation in this
direction will be hampered by the con.
troversy between the secretary Of war
and the commanding general.

BIG TIMES LAST NIGHT.
Two Dances, n Banquet, and the DOk les
at the Opera House.


at the Opera House.
That the Knights of Pythias
present at the meeting of the grand
lodge had a swell time last evening
there Is not the least doubt. The
town was turned over to them and
they had full charge all the time.
The way they run 1t was all right
1t was expected there would be a
warm time all along the line, and
there was. The first thing in the
evening was the parade of the Dok-
les, which was one of the finest
ever seen in the city. There were
quite number of candidates for
this degree and they were marched
all over the city rugged out in the
most outlandlish of costumes. The
parade lasted about an hour and the
streets were crowded so much it
was all the police could do to keep
the way open.
The candidates were taken to the
Olston Opera House where they
were initiated into the mysteries Of
the order after which a banquet was
served in the Elk's Club room.
There was general good time aud
every one enjoyed themselves i'm
mensely.
The ball in the city hall was
success beyond expectations.
When the doors were operfd there
was large crowd IN wal ng and

Pearl Ray Sent Up For Alleged Pass

About a year ago Pearl Ray, a
workman in the oil field, passed
two checks on A. J. Barton; one for
SI2 and the other for Sc. 60, which
were signed "Fisher Oil Co." The
checks were taken to the bank and
they were pronounced to be for
geries.
Ray disappeared about this time
and until last evening had not been
seen. Constable Soles arrested him
last night, and this morning he was
given hearing before Squire Hen
derson who remanded him to Jail
in default of $500 bail to answer at
the next session of the grand jury.

The different committees, princi-
pally that on credentials, made their
report, and those who were entitled
to become members Of the grand
lodge were seated. The Grand
Chancellor, Grand Keeper OF Re-
cords and Seals and Grand Master
OF Exchequer presented printed re-
ports which were distributed and
referred to the proper committees
The report of +he grand chancellor
showed that the Knights of Pythias
in West Virginia were In excellent
condition. There is at the present
time about I2o lodges in the state
with a membership of little over
1000. During the past year there
has been an increase in the mem
bership of the order of o83. Dur
ling the year $I3, 400 was paid out
in benefits. $4,000 In funeral ex-
Ipenses, aud 81 ,eo5 tor other relief.
The reports of the grand chancellor
and the grand master Of the exche
quer are in the hands of the proper
committees and will be reported on
this afternoon or tomorrow morn
ing.
The meeting of the grand lodge
this morning convened at about 9
O'Clock and continued until noon,
only routine business being trans
acted. This afternoon the members
of the lodge and the members of
the uniform rank with the two
bands met in front of the room of
the local lodge and from there
marched to the station to meet
Thomas D. Sample, the Supreme
Grand Chancellor Commander, OF
the order, who arrived from Wheel
ing at 1888. The members of the
uniform rank acted as personal es-
cort to the distinguished gentleman
and the procession moved over the
principal streets to the school
house. During the afternoon the
supreme chancellor commander
addressed the members of the grand
lodge and complimented them on
the grand showing of the order in
this Stat
At the morning session today the
only business transacted that is of
interest was the discussion on the
place of holding the next meeting
of the grind lodge. There was not
much of contest, Wheeling being
the choice OF large majority over
Morgantown, which was also can
didate tor the honor of entertaining
the grand lodge at its next meet
ing. 1t is expected the work of the
grand lodge will be completed late
this evening.
The election of officers will be
held this evening, and it is likely
there will be the usual promotions,
as there is not much danger of any
contests. 1t has been the rule to
advance the grand lodge officers in
rotation, and it Is very probable this
will be done. The one officer who
will have to be elected is the Grand
Outer Guard. Harry w. Smith, of
the Tyler County Star, is a candi-
date tor this position, and as ther
is not any great opposition it Is
likely he will be elected. There
are one or two other candidates for
the position, but Smith seems to
have the lead.

OIL NOTES.
THE OIL MARKET.

The we'll drilled in a couple Of
days ago on the Mercer farm In the
northeast extension of the Elk
Fork pool by Bruner & Co., which
has been reported good for about so
barrels day is doing even better
than that amount. A guage of the
we'll by the pipe line company
shows that it is fully as good a we'll
as No. on the Clendenning and it
can safely be said that it will make
not less than IS barrels a day. 1t
has been tubed and is now in good
shape.
Gaffney & Co. have abandoned
their No. 1 on theLowry and will
commence to pull the casing today
or tomorrow.
1t is expected that about the lat
ter part of this week or the first of
next there will be several impor-
tant wells drilled in the northeast
extension of the Elk Fork pool.
There are four or FIVE which should
be due about that time and some of
them are very important.
There is a pretty state of affairs
over in the Wilson run pool in
Ohio, which will probably result in
a big lawsuit, in short time. A lit
tie over year ago Garner & AL
ford took lease on the Rashman
farm, with the provision in the
lease that they were to pay a GER
tain amount of rental or drill a we'll.
The we'll specified in the lease was
drilled. and was very small pro-
ducer. Since that time the Car
ner & Afford people have done
nothing on the lease. They have a
two year lease on the farm. A
couple of months ago R. L. Grego,
ry, of this city, went over there and
took lease on this farm, but not
until after the owner had told him
about the other one. The farmer
said he would not give a lease to
Gregory unless it was taken subject
to the one held by GARNER & Al.
ford. This was agreed to, and the
lease given. Now, the fun COM
mences. Gregory and some others
have made arrangements to drill a
well on the Rashman, and Garner
& Afford are getting ready to stop
them. What the outcome of the
matter will be is hard to conjecture,
but the most of the oil people seem
to think Garner & Afford have the
best of the deal, as there was no re-
lease clause in their lease, and they
have complied with all the condi-
tions specified.
Gordon & Co.'S No. S on the
Reed farm in the Wilson run terri
tory will be due in the sand about
Saturday. This is the we'll on
which they have been fishing for
some time.
Henderson & Co. have made the
