feet and Immediately large flow Of
gas followed. Drilling was continued
and the sand pierced which proved to
be 20 feet deep with little showing
of oil. The farther the drill was sunk
into the sand the greater became the
pressure Of gas. In fact the pressure
Is so strong that the noise made by the
escaping gas can be heard at least a
mile. Particles OF rocks and dirt
loosened by the drill are forced out of

0MMITTEDSUICIDE.
Warren White Blows Out His Brains
With a Shot Gun.

Warren White, who had many
friends in this city, committed suicide
at Caldwell Wednesday evening about
six o'clock. The act was. committed
on the B. 2. & C. trestle, east of that
city, and the weapon used was shot
gun.
Mr.. white was employed for several
years by the Penrose & Simpson Co.,
of this city, as shipping clerk in their
Wholesale grocery establishment, but
gave up his work there about nine
months ago on account of his health.
He went to the home of his parents,
near Pennsville, where he remained
until about three weeks ago, when he
went to Caldwell, where he registered
at hotel, remaining there until the
time of his death.
He spent his time while in Caldwell
walking about the streets, reading and
apparently having a good time. He
was very reticent about his affairs.
Wednesday he spent the day hunt
ing in the woods and in returning in
the evening he was seen sitting on the
trestle picking burrs from his cloth
ing.
A few minutes later the report of a
gun, followed by splash in the creek
beneath the trestle, attracted the at
tention of people near by. They ran
to the trestle, where they found
Whites vest, the gun and the blood
and Grains, showing that someone had
killed himself. On searching the
creek below, Whites body was found
in about six feet of water. The entire
upper part of his head was blown off.
The body was taken at once to an
undertaking establishment where the
Coroner held an inquest.
The remains were prepared for bur
ial and were sent to this city via the
C. & M. yesterday forenoon. The
casket was transferred to the Union
Depot and shipped over the 7. & o. G.
E. in the afternoon to Pennsville,
where interment will be made today.
Mrs. White, Mr.. ]. S. Simpson and Mr..
and Mrs. r. F. White, went to Penns-
Vile to attend the funeral
The dead man leaves wife and two
children, who reside in this city. For
some reason Mr.. and Mrs. White have
not been living together for some time
The cause of his suicide is attributed
by some to worry over his domestic
troubles for which neither he nor his
wife were to blame.

PHILIPPINE SITUATION.
This Government Blamed for the
Conditions Now Existing.

MADRID. Jan. 4.-The statement
that the Spanish had evacuated 1loilo
in order to render the situation more
difficult for the Americans is denied
here It is said that the Spanish Gov
eminent, Immediately after the sign
ing of the treaty of peace, ordered the
Philippines to be evacuated as quickly
as possible, in order to avoid further
bloodehed and to conform with the ex-
pressed wish of the Americans, who
were very exacting, especially N the
case of Cuba.
An interview with an OK prefec- Of a.
province of the Philippines is publish
ed here in the course Of which he is
quoted as saying:
President Mckinley has shown COM
plete ignorance Of the situation in the
Philippines. When the Americans &C.
cupied Manila there were only four in
surgent provinces. The Americans en-
coura ged the revolution, and now they
themselves are the victims of support
which they gave the insurgents. who
have become master Of the entire arcli-
pelago, except Mindanao, WHARF the pa
tives, who are Mussulmans, refuse to
recognize American rule, although they
have not revolted.
"Aguinaldo's unnopularity is due to
his friendship for the Americans. His
treatment of Spanish prisoners has
been horrible. Monks have been march

in the identity of the man. He said
the bad feelings" between Jones and
himself started last June, owing to
differences Of opinion in business mat
tiers in the bank. He said Jones had
overdrawn his account in the bank,
and he took the matter up. He said
the breach then grew wider; one thing
brought on another; the Bank Exam
iner came, and later his resignation was
asked for. He said that before retiring
he told Jones he proposed to tell the
bank officials what kind of a man they
had to deal with He testified that
Jones then said: eff you tell them
what you say you will, will shoot
you as sure as your name is Stoutt.''
At the close of the court for the day
Stout was still on the stand, and the
cross-examination had not shaken his
testimony.

OUTPUT OF GOLD.
Nearly All States Show an Increase
in Product.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Hon. Geo. E.
Roberts, the Director of The Mint, has
received from the officials and agents
of the Bureau of Preliminary Estimates
upon the production of gold in the sew
eral producing States and Territories OF
the United States for the fiscal year
These estimates are deemed to be ap-
proximately correct. Nearly all of the
States show an increased production
Colorado maintains and increases its
lead by larger addition TO it's product
than in any PREVIOUS year. The prod
uct in California was considerably re-
duced by prevailing drought, which at
fected the output of the placers, but
the increase from lode mining has
slightly more than offset this reduc-
ton.
Returns are given below with the
final estimates of production or the
same States and Territories in 1897.

WASHINGTON, Jan 4.-When the
Senate went into executive session to-
day, the peace treaty, which has just
been received from the President, was
laid before the Senate by Senator Frye,
who occupied the chair in the absence
OF the Vice President. The treaty was
not read, but the Presidents message
accompanying it was This was o.
simple letter of transmittal, without
any word of recommendation or SIG
gestion, and was only a few lines in
length
On motion of Senator Davis, the
treaty was referred to the Committee
on Foreign Relations, and ordered
printed for the use Of the Senate. No
treaty public, but it is understood that
this will be done after the treaty is
passed upon by the committee.
Senator Davis entered motion to-
day to make the treaty and the pro-
ceedings public, but upon the sugges-
ton of Senator Allison he withdrew
that motion for the purpose Of allowing
the committee to act on it,
A meeting of the Committee on For
eign Relations has been called for Fri
mittee will then bring in a resolution
for the publication of both treaty and
proceedings.
The presentation of the peace treaty
to-day aroused considerable discussion
among the Senators as to it's probable
ratification, and the impression to be
gained from what Senators say is that
the treaty will no doubt be ratified.
Senator Gray, a member Of the commits
sion, has been discussing the subject
with Democratic Senators who were
averse to the acquisition of the Philip
pines, and who opposed some other
features of the treaty. He told them
that amendments to the treaty would
seriously complicate matters, and that
there was nothing now to do but ac-
cept the treaty as it stood
Senator Gray will no doubt make a.
speech from the standpoint of man
who was in the first instance opposed
to acquiring territory far from the
United States. but showing that the
war left the country in condition
where the responsibilities were not to
be avoided.
1t is understood that Senator Hoar
and Senator Caffery will make extend
ed speeches in opposition to the treaty.
