MORE PROPOSITIONS.
Power. uaable 10 settle UPeD the In

demaify 90 Demand Of China
Washington. March 2l.-Another and
later advice from Mr.. Rookhill. our
special commissioner at Pekin, IL Of
more hepeful tone than those immedi'
ately preceding. for IL indicates tho sub
rect of iDdernnities are being discussed
with an apparent disposition TO reach
unanimOas conclusion. The United
States proposition looking to an agree
ment 81 the powers upon a lump sum
for indcmnities. fixed by the ability of
the Chinese 10 pay without destroying
their government. seems 10 be- growing
more in favor. But the difficulty is that
while perhaps a majority ofthe powers,
even all Of them. might be induced 70
accept the principle Of thus guaging the
burden to the strength of China, they
are far from unanimous as 10 the meth
oil Of distribution Of this money among
themselves.
So far. although nc less than three
schemes Of valuation have been consid-
cred at Pelin, il has not been possible
to secure the adoption Of anyone. With
out displacing the pending proposition
the United States government has adj
yunced another proposition. It Is TO
divide the total indemnity collected,
say 500. 900 900. into eight equal parts
which the United States would receive
one. IL is true that 10 powers were rep
resented at Pckin, but at least two of
them have no foundation for claims for
indemnity.
This suggestion has not been warmly
received 10y those nations which have
bceu put 10 very much more expense
than the United States through the
boxer trouble But the answer 10 this
Is that in most cases the greater part Of
these expenses were absolutely unnec-
es,ary. that there were NO occasion for
the maintenance Of large military forces
In China after the fall Of Pekin, aud
equally unnecessary and pernicious were

but will not begin drilling well on
Friday.
Drilling for oil is more hazardous
than sinking shafts for gold or sill
yer. The formation Of the earth in
dicates the possible existence OF
these metals, and to the miner there
are indica tons that they exist. But.
with the oil driller, there are no in
dications on the surface of what ex-
lists beneath, and he must be guided
only by his theories of the forma-
ton of the country, and he reasons
from those theories that oil should
exist there. Accordingly, he drills
well. and after he has gone 100 feet,
the indications are no more assuring
than on the surface. He III IN the

by a few feet. The man whom luck
seems to follow persistently sinks q
well near by and strikes it rich. In
mining, ore of an inferior grade IL
usually found as the shaft progresses,
and some of it at least is pay ore,
and thus the miner is encouraged by
good indications, and frequently by
the finding of good ore that partly
recompenses his great losses. But the
oil driller has no encouragement, and
finds nothing until he reaches q
"gusher," if at all. Thus many for
tunes are lost, and only few are
made. OF the Is gushers in the Beau
mont oil field the reading public hears
a great deal, but nothing is said OF
the 100 busters. They will be heard
of only when they strike oil. Nor
does one hear of the miner who sinks
his fortune in the earth. But the

have become exhausted, and sunk
deeper, can the theory be settled.
There is luck in drilling wells, as
in mining. The driller of the first
well here had gone 1875 feet beyond
the oil stratum, and an accident to
the drill is the cause of the discovery
of oil which made his fortune. He with
drew the drill and discovered indica-
tions of oil. In explanation it may be
stated that in drilling the thick earth
en- formation and water often prevent
the oil from coming to the surface.
and unless one be an experienced
driller he is likely to pass the oil
stratum and not know it, as was the
case with the first gusher, which has
made Beaumont famous, and caused
1t to develop into the greatest oil field
in the world. 1t is a curious fact
that some of the drillers when near
ing the distance at which oil NAV be
encountered, usually 1000 feet, has
ten work, or progress slowly, as the
case may be, so as to strike the oil-
bearing sand on Friday. They super

on these false pretenses. There are
also experts who profess to be able to
tell where oil exists by surface indi
cations, and also to tell how deep it
lies under the surface.
None of these experts have, how
ever, taken advantage of their in
sight and sunk well on their own
account. Their theories of the ex-
tent of the field and the depth of the
pool, or lake, are as varied as those
regarding the cause of the existence
of oil, which is no nearer solution
than it was ages ago. Some of the
local theorists hold that there are
several strata of oil bearing sands in
the Beaumont field, just as in the
Russian fields, but as the wells here
have not gone beyond the first STRAIT
UNI, or oil flow, their theories are
mere guesses. Only when these wells
