are many local oil men who firmly adj
here to the belief that oil in paying
quantities may be found in Ohio coun-
ty. but all do not think the location of
the present we'll is the proper one.
This county is at least receiving a test.
A number of wells have been sunk. and
while some have showed oil. Others
have been rank busters. There was
small showing of oil in the well at the
Central glass factory. and also the well
on the Thompson farm, near which the
present location has been made. The
abandoned well has filled up with oil
and salt water, and it was this fact
which caused the local company to
make another venture in that vicinity.

to be the deepest hole in the world,
was a sufficient test of that section,
proving conclusively that the Marshall
county field does not extend to the

TIE LAND ORDER
GteSSrS HartWell and Bal.
lou Submit Briefs.
T la f1Iio Ra'l~ -y-Ths Opinion OF
Herbert 3. G-hT and
Others,

by the arrival Of the steamer China
it is learned. both through official and
unofficial sources, that it is most prob
able the late land order of President
Mckinley, relating TO Hawaii, Will be
so construed, if not actually modified
that no hardship will fall upon those
who purchased land in good faith pre-
vious thereto.
While the Government is so situated
that the Cabinet cannot give out full
information owing to the fact that the
matters under consideration have not
as yet reached a conclusion, still it is
conceded that the prospects for very
liberal construction of the order are
good, and there ale fair chances even
for modification thereof after the
case has been fully gone over
From the letters received by the
Government ii is learned that General
Hartwell has already submitted law
points upon which he asks to be heard
by the Attorney General, asking for
notifications of the land order of Pres
ident Mckinley. Attorney Ballou is
also in Washington representing the
Rapid Transit Company of Honolulu.
He is also asking for modification, as
far as the land order affects the inter-
estS OF that company. The letters
state, however, that up to the leaving
of the mail neither of these gentlemen
had been formally heard upon the
points submitted.
Mr.. Herbert Z. Gehr, who has been
East in the interests of his cOmpanv
was seen yesterday after the arrival of
the China. He states that he made a
trip to Washington as soon almost as
the order was issued, induced by the
fact that the Hilo Railway must neces-
Sarily cross various pieces of public
land. Mr.. Gehr states that he had both
interviews and consultations with Off
Gals in Washington and with leading
men, and he is satisfied the order will
be so construed as not to interfere with
the building of the railway.
I'VE SHALL" continued Mr. Gehr,
keep right along with our prepara-
tons, and we now have a large force
of men on the way here for the work of
construction. The fact is, that in seek
ing information for myself | learned
that it is the intention of the Washing
ton Government to SO interpret the or
der that it will not affect previous pur-
chases and leases of public lands in
good faith, but to stop such leases and
purchases on and after the publication
of the order. This is the opinion of all
with whom | have discussed the mat
ter, and, as | believe, is the view semi
officially expressed in Washington
1t is also learned from another
source that the case as presented by
Mr.. Hartwell has had considerable in
fuence in bringing about the present
favorable attitude of the Washington
authorities, and all the opinions re-
ceived from those at Washington and
elsewhere give strength to the belief
that some modification will be speedily
made giving relief to those transactions
falling under the order

The TRU AMY LAW.
What Minister M.t,-Smith Saws
About liz.

The old truancy law, one of the lega-
c.es of the monarchy, has again become
/ subject of discussion There are
many who think the law, unless mos
literally interpreted, is Liable to work
hardships. In order to find out about
its present administration a represen-
tative of the Advertiser called upon
the President of the Board of Educa-
ton. When the matter was stated
Minister Mott-omith said:
THE application of the truant law is
occupying the attention of the Depart
Ment on account of the possible occur
renee of hardships likely TO be suffered
by children who Go not mean to stay
away from school, but are, from some
cause or other, forced 10 do so. All
children of a school age are obliged 20
attend school by law. This system is
carried out by truant officers appointed
for each district.
In order TO insure a fair admins
tration of the statute tie truant Off
GERS report each day to the Secretary
ii me department, and his associates,
all cases of tru2ncy occurring wi5n1n
their respective districts. Each case
is then investigated separately by the
Secretary and assistants. Unless,
therefore, the truant is intractable, or
is frequen, offender, or has commit
ted an act which merits punishment,
he is reprimanded and sent back to
school or his home; otherwise he is
turned over % the district magistrate
rs the law requires"

Woodruff understood. were run night

mand. Replying to Colonel Davis
query Colonel Woodruff said he had
been familiar with all campaigns in
Lhe past twenty-five years. and never
had beef on the hoof been used as the
fresh meat supply. y statement, he
said, that beef on the hoof was the
usual source of supply would not repre-

This was brought out in response to

fresh beefwas secured from contractors.

Authorities at Washington VIII Soon Pro-

Washington, Feb. 23.-The authorities
here are giving close attention to the
daily developments in the military situ-
alton in the Philippines. ara have de-
cided to push the campaign against the
rebelliOus followers of Aguinaldo with
energy. Every casualty report that
comes from General Otis notes the
wounding or killing of some Of the
American troops by what are TactiCally
sharpshOoters on the ether side The in
surgents apparently have learred that
they cannot hope to cope with Anne eriCan
troops on anything like even terms in
regular set battle. and from low on
they are expected to rely upon the
harassing tactics they have practiced
for the past ten days.
The main body of the Insurgents have
Eow fallen back well out of the line of
effective range of the gunboats, but as
the American troops have been obliged
to extend their lines in order to protect
the waterworks and to take advantage

was. after all. about what was expected
by the war department officials, and
that was why in sending reinforcements
to General Otis they made it point to
send as many of the regular troops as
possible who had been used to- Indian
fighting in the Bad Lands of the west.
General Lawton. who goes out to take
command of these troops, is an old In

insurgents quiet during the rainy sea-

essary to do this in order to avoid the
hardships to which the American troops
otherwise would be exposed during the
torrential rains which will make life in
outside intrenchments almost impossible
for civilized troops.
