The United States is working to

the indemnity question Is settled.

OIL PRODUCTION IN CANADA.
Nine Til ousand Wells Yield Nearly 10000
Barrels Monthly.

United States Consul General Bit
finger, in report from Montreal,
gives some interesting statistics on
the production of petroleum In the
Dominion. He says:
The production of petroleum in
Canada Is practically confined at pres
ent to the counties of Lambton, Kent
part of the province of Ontario The
and Bothewell. in the southwestern
town of Petrolia. in Lambton county,
Is the center of the principal district
of production. while the work of re-
iining is carried on in Sarnia. about
II miles distant, the crude oil being
pumped through pipes to the retineries.
In this Ontario oil district there are
about 1000 oil wells in operation, and
the average monthly yield is nearly
6O,OOO barrels. The ratio of crude pc
troleum to refined oil Is about 100 to
40, so that more than two barrels of
petroleum are required to make one
barrel of refined oil ready for house
hold use. The process of manufacture
is complicated. and an expensive plant
Is required. The oil is first distilled
from the petroleum. the latter being
dark in color. The distilled oil is then
refined and lastly it is bleached or
clarified. From the mud-colored pc
troleum an Illuminating oil as clear
as water Is obtained. 1t is then ready
for shipment in barrels or tanks.
"The oil Is in every case found in
the corniferous limestone, and the
different producing areas present local
dome structures on the main anti
clines, which afford good reservoirs
for the accumulation of oil. The oil
Is pumped from an average depth of
465 feet. In 1899 there We're produced
in Canada 1l.SS3,627 gallons of illu.
minatlng oil of n value of 81 .10T. $40
The production of that year was equiv.
alent to 74Sd67 barrels"

the British station in Bermuda. The
Dutch island of Curacao, off the coast

naval officials as specially well adapt

governments Interested. There is add

done in the Azores, as Germany has

THE UNITED STATES WILL Be HELD.
SUITS FILED.
Spanish War Claimants For Maine Disaster
Have Good Cases-investigatlon Of
Horror Must be Reopened.

The suits filed before the Spanish
claims commission by the survivors
of the Maine explosion for injuries
received in that disaster. has attract
ed widespread attention among Of
ficals In Washington. Senator Chan
dler. chairman of the commission, says
he never anticipated such a claim. He
admitted that 1t would make neces-
sary another investigation of the ex-
plosion and therefore reopen the en-
tire controversy.
A feature of the claims, just filed,
grows out of the fact that the United
States becomes n defendant through
the treaty stipulations by which 1t re-
leases Spain from all claims growing
out of the Spanlsh-Amerlcan war.
If IL be established that the blowing
up of the Maine was due to the work
of Spanish officers, or agents, the
United States. having released Spain
from the obligation in consequence of
the war and the incidents leading up
to II, will have to pay the damages
If 1t be found that the United States
was negligent or careless in any way
Ii still will have to pay the damages.
These claims will attract more than
usual attention because of the discus
sion which began previous to the wal
with Spain and which has been re
newed from time to time without any
satisfactory conclusion as to the man
ner In which the explosives were
placed and discharged.

COUNTY JUDGES ARE IN CUSTODY.
MILLIONS INVOLVED.
United States Authorities Make a New Move
In a Missouri Case-Seek 10 Re-
pudlate indebtedness.

Samuel G. Pueden and Thomas
hewitt. two of the judges of the st.
Clair county, MOI court, are in the
hands of the United States authorities
at Kansas city.
This case has been before the courts
for over 30 years. In 1870 the county
of st. C'air voted bonds for the con
structlon of the Tebo and Neosha Val
ley railroad. The bonds were for
$250,0O0 and were sold, but the road
was not built. For years the holders
OF the bonds have been trying to col.
lect the interest on them, but they
have never been able to do so, because
the county Judges would not make
the necessary tax levy. The amount
of the original bonds with compound
interest Is now over S2,O00,000, but the
people of st. Clair county refuse tc
pay. County Judges are always elect
ed on that issue.
The United States officers have fire.
quently arrested the county judges be
cause they would not obey the orders
of the federal court to make the tax
levy. Several judges have spent THEFT
entire terms of office In Jail. Neverthe
less or rather on this account, II Is
considered great honor TO be elected
to the office of county judge. 1t Il
considered certain that the captured
judges will refuse to make the lev!
and will be committed to jail TO finisl
their terms, as have most of their pre-
| decessors for the past 20 years.

GAVE SOUND ADVICE.
Mr.. schwab Urges Boys Not to Depend
Upon Influence.

During the commencement exercises
of the st. Georges Evening Trades
School In New York, Charles NJ
Schwab, President of the United States
Steel Corporation, addressed the boys.
Saying In part: From my experience
| am led to believe that many boys
make the mistake of depending upon
influence to obtain for them positions
of profit. This is serious drawback
to any boy, for even If he have the
talents necessary to advancement,
other boys, his competitors. will say
that his success, or partial success,
was due, not to merit, but to influ-
ence. Go yourself to seek work In life
and depend upon your own exertlons
and merits. Merit must count and
merit must win.
Let me advise you all to make an
early start in life. The boy with the
manual training and the common
school education who can start in life
at III or II can leave the boy who
goes to college till he is 20 or more
so far behind in the race that he can
never catch up. This. however. does
not apply to the professional life"

Admiral Schley and General Chaffee

ing the after-dinner speaking. The
officials of the State Department.. are

the attention of President Mckinley

Admiral Schley to the British officers
and public men at Ambassador
Choate's dinner that blood is thicker
than water, and that he hoped to see
the day when the American navy will
be second in size only TO the British.
Chaffee told the British officers that
