HOW THE OIL WELL WAS sALTED

AS is not at all surprising just at this

recent oil discoveries in Texas, and as
there were several prospectors, promo
tors and spectators in the party, there

had a case of Sailing come under my
notice only the other day which was
rather amusing, but 1 should premise by
saying that the salter in this instance
was a reputable citizen of New Or
leans, who had no thought of cheating
anybody. He wanted a little fun, and
he had it. He lives away down in the
third district, and in his backyard is an
old well with a pump i'll it. With great
pretentions of secrecy he informed a doz-
en- or more of his neighbors that he had
found oil in his well and hoped to get a
fancy price for the property. They hur-
ried to his place to test the accuracy of
his story, but not before he was ready
for them. He took an old tomato can
of large size from rubbish neap, and
filling it about half way to the top with
kerosene oil, deposited it, right side up,
just at the base of the pile of refuse.

"that British enterprise can be suffi-
GENTLY stimulated to meet American

"Oh, they can't compete with us"
replied Carnegie with a smile.
Would you advise the British peo-
pie to place their fate in combinations?'
said the interviewer.
I'm out of business, responded Car
negie, land l know nothing about
combinations.
When questioned regarding the recent
gift to the universities of Scotland, he
said:
Everything will be settled in every
way satisfactory to both parties. The
high Scotch officials and myself are
still having conferences to arrange
matters
When asked if he contemplated fur
Their gifts, he replied in the negative,
adding:

KING EDWARD
AND AMERICANS
British Sovereign Receives the
New York Chamber of
Commerce.

LONDON, June Sat the reception
King expressed considerable curiosity
to see what manner or men these null
timillionaires might be, especially
Morgan and Carnegie. Mr.. Carnegie
was unable to be present. From the
King down the officials concentrated
their attention on Morgan. One of the
high officers of the household humor-
ously confessed that an inspection of
the list of visitors made them trem-
BILE lest Mr.. Morgan or one of the
other millionaires should take a fancy
TO Windsor and buy it, Apart from
this personal point of view, it was of
ficially stated by Lord Pelham Clinton
the master of the household, that the
I King regarded the presence In Eng
land of such a representative body of
American business men as highly sig
nificant of the close and friendly rela
tions existing between the two coun-
tries, and in furtherance of that feel
ing he was delighted to welcome them
to his castle and make their acquain-
lance.
After an inspection of the grounds
the delegates We're taken 10 the east
terrace, where they were received by
the King. They Were surprised to find
that the Queen was also present, for
her appearance was quite unexpected.
With the King and Queen We're Prin-
cess Victoria and the children of the
Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and
York. Each delegate was formally pre-
scented to both the King and Queen
shaking their hands. This ceremony
over, the King asked the American
visitors to replace their hats on their
heads, and both he and the Queen then
commenced to chat in the most friend
ly way with the little group. The
King remembered meeting previously
William Butler Duncan and James W.
Pinchot, much to their own astonish-
ment. The royal party INDUCED in
small talk regarding the weather, the
King pointing out the beauties of
Windsor's chestnut trees, and referring
to the need the country had for rain.
etc. His majesty regretted that the
state apartments We're SO upset as to
be invisible. He APPARENTLY avoided
business and politics, beyond reiterat-
ing how glad he was to meet so many
well known men from America.
When the audience was over the del
egates partook of a small feast and
repassed the King and Queen, who
were having tea in the garden. The
King stood up, took off his hat and
bowed his farewell. The delegates then
returned to London.

said Andrew Carnegie tonight 10 a cor
respondent, 'the time is coming when
the continental powers will combine to

When Carnegie gave utterance to
these sentiments he was in the Lang
ham Hotel, London, where he arrived
from Scotland for the Chamber OF
Commerce gatherings. Until tonight
he had steadfastly refused to be inter
viewed Resuming the topic of Anglo
American relations, he said:

A REVOLUTIONARY RISING.
Poles Preparing to Turn Upon the Heel that Brushes Them-An
 Indignation Meeting.

Berlin, Jan. 3O.-The Prussian au- thorities in the Polish provinces of Prussia have discovered evidence of the existence of secret societies, aim- ing at revolutionary rising. A num- Der of arrests have been made in Posen. One of the ringleaders, med ical student named Vladislav Bolevski, escaped across the Austrian frontier.
 On Emperor Williams birthday an indignation meeting was held by the Poles in Posen to protest against the recent postal practice ofnot delivering mail addressed to Poles. 1t was large ly attended and speeches were made by prominent Polish members of the reichstag and diet, one of whom said that Emperor William must drop the title of grand duke of Posen if he will not recognize the Polish language.
