SECRETARY fONG's STORY.
Hears Public Opinion Of Himself I'm q
Street Car.
Ainslee's Magazine.

Ainslees Magazine.
"Apropos of the lack Of attention to the
Presidents message here is a story told by
Hon. John d. Long, the secretary of the
Navy. One of the important questions of
his department is the present price of ar
NOR for war ships.
Under an act authorized by Congress
March 3, 1899, he is prohibited from paying
more than $500 ton, and at that extremely
low figure he has found it impossible to
secure bids from the manufacturers. To
combat this act OF Congress. and to secure
its repeal. the secretary went to consid-
cradle length in the matter OF expert advice
and testimony. Proof positive that armor
could not be made for $500 ton was in
corporated in his report, and he also
showed that the new ships authorized
would be materially delayed to the great
detriment of the service, as they could not
be launched or put into commission without
armor.
Several days after the Presidents mes
sage had been given TO the press. Secretary
Long CHANGED to overhear conversation
or one of the Pennsylvania-avenue cars.
Two men were standing on the platform
a few feet from where the Secretary sat.
Said one:
!" 'Have you read McKinleys message,
Henry?
Only word or two.' was the indiffer-
ent reply. Did your
Yes. Say. what kind of chap is that
secretary of the navy, anyway?
Whats the matter with him.?
He's way OFF, II comes OF putting some
lawyer who don't know a scow from a
Black Maria In such an office. What do
you think. He's raising Cain about our
armor. Humphr
land that, said the secretary. in relat-
ing the story, was the result on a citizen
of average intelligence Of the Departments
question, which is of the most vital i'm
portance.'

SNOW CHECKS THE WORK.
Oil Business Almost Knocked Out
Good Wells I'm Blackboard.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
MONTPELIER, Ind, March 1.-The
heavy snowstorm has practically caused
the suspension of business throughout the
oil-producing districts. a very few wells
are drilling and a very few are being
pumped. The pipe lines that run the
product are also shut down. as the gaugers
are unable to get to the wells throughout
the country, and when they do get out
they cannot find the dinky-pumps. as
they are covered up with snow. 1t will
cause the loss of hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the producers A large number
of boiler houses have tumbled down from
the weight of the snow on the roofs. In
the Van Buren, district there are less than
half dozen wells drilling. The snow In
that field is not all that impedes the
progress of the drill, but 1T is the short
ness of the gas supply. The gas supply has
given out so far as drilling with ii is con-
cerned, and many have shut down until
warm weather comes, as they consider IL
too expensive to use either coal or wood
as fuel. In fact either one is scarce.
In Washington township. Blackford
county, the Ohio Oil Company has COM
pleted we'll No on the j. Schroeder farm
in Section Is, and it is good for twenty-five
barrels. The Phoenix Oil Company has
drilled in well No. on the T. ]. Baker
farm, in the same section. and IL is also
good for twenty-five barrels. About mile

Phoenix Oil Company has struck a gusher

out being shot. East a mile from the Kel-
ley wells the Midway Company has drilled

THE COLLARS MOVEMENT.
1t Indicates the Recrudescence of
the Cleveland Democracy.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, March 2-The
movement in certain Democratic circles to
nominate Judge collars as the party's can
didate for Governor is viewed with inter-
est here, where the judge has lived for
forty years. He once served as judge on
the Supreme Bench. The mention of Zol-
lars, however. is not quite satisfactory to
the Bimetallic League and the Jefferson
Club, both of this city, because of Zol-
lars's attitude in the campaign of 1896. He
was then a pronounced gold Democrat,
friend and adviser of Chairman s. o. Pick
ems. and, it is generally believed, cast his
vote for William Mckinley. If he were to
be nominated, and it is believed by his
friends that he is willing to accept the
nomination, IL would mean the overthrow

ton to the Chicago platform in 1885, and
