WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1899.

The nomination of Chauncey M. De-
pew by the Republicans for Senator
which insures his election, means that
New York is going to be represented
in the upper branch of Congress for
the next few years by man who will
renew some of the traditions OF the
best days OF the Empire State in poll
tics. AS an orator Mr. Depew will be
the equal of any man who has served
in the Senate in recnt years. In ac-
quaintance with public issues and in
his standing and influence in his party
he will have no superior in either
branch of Congress Intellectually
Mr.. Depew is the largest man who has
been in the Senate from his state
since Conkling. He will be a credit
able successor to Wright, Dickinson,
Dix, Seward, Fish, Morgan, Fenton
and the other first-class men whom
New York has at different times chos-
en- to the Senate.-Globe Democrat.

message expressing his desire to see
Count Leo Tolstoi Contrary to eX-
pectations, Tolstoi accepted the invi-
tation and soon appeared at the rail-
way station.
'In his PEASANTS garb he presented
a striking contrast to the richly dress
ed encourage of the Gar. Emperor
Nicholas kissed him on the mouth and
both checks, Tolstol readily respond
ing #Fs
"Then a conversation commenced,
the Car asking bis guest for an opin-
ion upon the imperial proposal for the
limitation Of armaments,. Count Toll
stol replied that he could easily believe
in it when His Majesty should set the
example for other nations, ~ On the
Gar mentioning the, difficulties. Of the
problem and the necessity for united
aid of the great powers, the Count
softened somewhat and. expressed the
hope that His ldajesty would be able
to attain some definite results, or, at
any rate, to formulate some. workable
plan at the conference,
"The Gar thanked him for his good
wishes, said he would be pleased if
Tolstoi could be induced 10 lend his
genius to the solution of the question,
and the Count rejoined that the En-
Deror might count upon his co-opera-
ton, for he was already engaged up
On work dealing with the question in

AiGreat Oil Gusher,'

y Hartford City, Ind, Jan . 16.-The
greatest oil well ever drilled in the In
diana field, and one of the greatest in
the United States. has just been en-
countered in Washington Township,
this county. Conservative oil men es-
innate the output at 1900 barrels per
day The well filled seven 1000 barrel
tanks before 1t could be connected with,
the Standards pipe line. The land on
which the well is located is owned by

well is five miles northwest of this city
AT the present price of Indiana oil the
well is making $3.50 day, but it is
not believed it can long maintain its
flow. ..sr

Baltimore & Ohio.

From time to time articles appear in
the papers about the so-called "Hill
control of Baltimore & Ohio, together
with exhaustive details OF various
struggles which are supposed to be in
progress between Mr.. Hill and other
people in the Baltimore C Ohio board.
The details of these struggles are very
interesting, but are open to criticism
that they have no existence. in fact
The plain facts of the matter are, first
that ar. Hill does not control the Bal
timore & Ohio, nor has he at any time
expressed any desire or taken any
steps in tnat direction; second that
there has at no time been any differ
ence of opinion between Mr.. Hill and
the Baltimore & Ohio people with re-
gard to selection of general mana
ger the selection of Mr.. Underwood
being satisfactory to everybody; third;
that the delay in regard to Mr.. Under
woods acceptance of the general man
agership of the Baltimore & Ohio was
due to matters, connected with the 500
Line more than anything else. 20
1t is pretty well understood here that
Mr.. Hill was invited to interest him
self in the B. C o., on the theory that
he could be of great service to the
property as an adviser, and to this
end he, with some of his friends, pur-
chased substantial interest in the
preferred stock of the company. This
interest is. nowhere near a controlling
interest, but is still very large. 1t
may be said without fear of contradc.
tion, that there is entire harmony in
Baltimore & Ohio circles from top to
bottom.

 If Stewart was disappointment to many last year, it is likely to be again in the opposite way.
