COAL OPERATORS EXCITED
By Reports From indianapolis Con-
corning United AIfnc Workers.

By Reports From indianapolis Com
corning United Mine Workers.
rWILKESBARRE, Pa, January 81
The coal operators and miners of this
section were much stirred up to-day by
the reports sent out from indianapolis
that the United Mine Workers. now
holding their national convention in
that city had decided to invite the op-
orators of the anthracite region to meet
their miners in conference and decide
upon new wage scale, which would
call for an advance of 10 per cent over
the wages paid at present. Many
think that this is forerunner of an
other strike in the hard coal regions.
as the operators will not consent to
meet the miners in conference.
And even if this were the only OBJ
stacle demand for a further increase
in wages would be sure to bring about
a lockout. Nearly all the district lead
ers of the United Mine Workers in the
Wyoming Valley are now in attend
ance at the indianapolis convention.

BANK TELLER MISSING.

Up by Robbers.
CHICAGO, January 27.-Arthur r.
Barnerd, teller Of Zion City Bank, the
private financial institution establish
ed by John Alexander Dowie, four
years ago, has disappeared. His faith
er, C. ]. Barnard, cashier of the bank,
reported his disappearance at the En-
glewood police station to-day. He is
Of the belief that his son has been kip
mapped and is held for ransom, be-
lief which is shared by Mr.. Dowie and
several members of his church.
The kidnapping theory is not enter
tanned so strongly by the police. They
think it more probable that young
Barnard has been held UP by robbers
and possibly injured seriously if not
fatally. The senior Barnard reported
to the police that bis son had a small
sum of money with him when he left
his home on Saturday evening.
still another theory of young Barn
ards disappearance is based on the fact
that he was shot year ago while re-
sisting highwaymen. Both robbers
were convicted and sent to prison. 1t
is thought that one of these men may
have regained his liberty and waylaid
Barnard for revenge. Barnard's ac-
counts at the bank are in perfect or
der.

27.-Another test for oil is to be made
on the South Side of the Kanawha.
Dan Kane, of Cadiz, Ohio, is the man
who has faith in this section and he
has had it for a long time. Several
years ago he was here and wanted to
drill in that territory but he had not
the money himself and could not SUI
ficiently interest others to get the test
made He left here and went to Ohio,
where he struck it rich and made over
a hundred thousand dallors, so it is
said. He still remembered this section
and for some time has had men quiet
ly taking up leases until he now has
a block of about geo acres within two
or three miles of Parkersburg. He ar
rived here yesterday to make a. loca-
ton for the first well and expects to
complete it within ninety days.
r. G. Stiles, who left here recently
for Texas to investigate with view
to operating in the Beaumont field, is
of the opinion that the oil there is
better than West Virginia operators
generally believe. He has sent sample
of it home for analysis, but is of the
opinion that it has Illuminating quail
ties instead of being solely fuel oil,
as has been claimed. He says the eX-
element is dying out and that in
short time prices will fall to a more
reasonable plane. If the oil proves to
be as he thinks and prices go down
reasonably he will remain there and
operate in that field. He represents
syndicate of West Virginia oil men.
He says there are now around the
Beaumont well many acres Of oil
damned up to depth of eight feet,
and that the we'll is all that has been
claimed for it.
Mallory Bros. have drilled in a gass-
er on Douglass Run, Richie county,
which they have sold to the Mountain
State Gas Co.
The Barnesdall No 2 or Wolf Run,
Richie county, came in dry, to the
great surprise of every one. 1t was
right between two good wells and not
owed 400 feet from one of the best pro-
ducers in the field. Mr.. arnsdall has
made two more locations.
The Hawkins we'll on the Ross farm
on Wolf Run, which came in dry, will
be shot.
The SteelSmith No. on the Stoors
tract in Richie county will be due In
tomorrow.
The Dual State Oil Co.'S No. II on
the Rinehart tract in Richie county
is in and is good for As or so barrels
day, which is about the average of
their wells.
T. N. Barnsdall is looking for well
in mile from CORVALLIS in a few
days.

long conference with temporary pres
ident, w. H. Watkins, Of the Ameri-
can Association, has formally signed

OIL NEWS.

The especially prepared report of the
great oil gusher near Beaumont, Texas,
printed in the current issue of the
Engineering and Mining Journal, says
in part
"At a depth of 1900 feet oil was
struck suddenly and almost without
warning. The fourinch pipe in use,
! which weighed at least six tons, was
! forced to the surface by the sudden
flow of oil, carried through the top of
the derrick-which is sixty feet high
and thrown up in the air distance es-
| timated at 800 feet. The tackle and
the top of the derrick were carried
away. while the pipe bent and curled
up, falling to the ground clear Of the
derrick in a position where, FORUM
ately, it injured no enc. The water
in the pipe, which was used in the hy-
draulic boring, was thrown up to a
great height, followed by some gas
and a steady stream Of oil. This flow
ed with such force that large pieces of
rock were carried UP with il. The
first flew was estimated at ESQ barrels
an hour; it increased gradually to 500
barrels an hour, with the flow still in
creasing. At times the column reached
a height OF nearly 500 feet, ana some
observers, among whom were some EN-
ployes of the Standard Oil Company,
were inclined to think Capt Lucas too
conservative, and to put the how as
high as 1000 barrels an hour
The flow is at present entirely be-
yond control. Much oil, however. has
been saved by running il into natural
depression CT the ground near by.
which covered nearly fifty acres, while
the force of 300 men and fifty teams
has been at work building leyees ami
excavating reservoirs in which oil can
be temporarily stored. AS soon as
possible tanks will be built and ar
rangements made TO dispose of the oil.
1t will be comparatively easy matter
to build pipe line to Beaumont or
Sabine Pass, whence oil can be ship
ped either by rail or water. In fact,
there is no other oil district known in
the United States where shipments 10
a market can be arranged 50 easily.
Hasty chemical examinations show
that the oil is light oil. having par
affine base and containing some sui
phur. 1t is believed that Ii will give
a good percentage CT Illuminating oil;

Heavy Seas Beat Over the steamer,
Doing Large Amount OF DAM
nge, and Threatening Her Loss.

NEW YORK, January 27.-The
French liner La Gascogne arrived in
port to-day with two of her life boats
smashed, the rails on her starboard
quarter twisted and broken and her
four hundred steerage passengers not
yet recovered from the fright occa-
stoned by the battering the ship receiv-
ed from two terrific seas. The saloon
passengers suffered moment of ter
ror that will cause them to remember
the voyage.
When La Gascogne left Havre she
had not been headed westward many
hours when the first of the bad wealth
er developed 1t came in the shape of
gales from many points of the COM
pass and lasted four hours. The first OF
the gale during the weathering o. which
a great sea swept across the liner,
was encountered early Friday morning.
its strength had so increased in fury
that the vessel was rolled and pitched
in making her way through the ter
rifcally high waves. 1t was shortly
before 3 o'clock when a sea swept
across the port side forward. Life
boat No. was caught by the wave and
the boat tackle of the davits was snap
ped. The gale finally abated but the
following day second storm arose. A
heavy sea struck the ship on the star
board quarter, caught life boat No. 2,
wrecking and rendering it useless,
smashed the chocks that kept her
steady, broke the davits flush with the
deck, twisted all the ratings On the
starboard side out of shape and man
aged to knock a hole about four feet
square through the turtle deck. The
water poured down through this onto
the spardeck, making a fearful roar
and driving the Storage passengers al
most frantic.
Shortly afterward the weather abat-
ed and La Gascogne had smooth sail
ing into port.

OF the Chief of the Section of For
eign Markets of Agricultural De-
partment.
WASHINGTON. January 27.-Mr.
Frank H. Hitchcock, chief Of the sec
ton of foreign markets of the Agri-
cultural Department, has just issued
his annual review of the trade of the
United States in agricultural products.
His report says:
The fiscal year 1900 brought to a
close a century OF marvellous develop
ment in the history of United States
commerce. In 1900, century ago, the
total value of the merchandise import
ed and exported in our trade with for
eign countries was considerably less
than a quarter of billion dollars. The
value of the goods exchanged during
the past fiscal year reached nearly two
and a quarter billions, far exceeding all
previous records. Since the opening of
the century our commerce with the rest
of the world has increased more than
twelve-fold.
1t was chiefly in the export trade
that the enormous growth of the cen
fury occurred. Our domestic exports
during 1900, with j recorded value Of
1870, 1853, 763, 571, were over forty times
as large as in 1900 The total imports
for 1900, on the other hand amount
ing to s849, 941 1874, were less than ten
times as large as in 1900.
