Indiana Oil Shipments in August Fax
in Excess of Production.


i'm Excess of Production.
Special 70 the Indianapolis Journal.
MONTPELIER. Ind, Sept. THE crude
production OF the Trenton Rock fields OF
Indiana and Ohio for the month OF August
was very large. The two States are de-
pended upon to a big extent to furnish
crude enough to help the Eastern fields TO
supply sufficient for the illuminant prod
uct Of the country, as the Texas and Cali
fornia fields produce an inferior grade.
The total shipments from the two States
for August were 2.11S,S26 barrels, and the
runs from the wells were 2,O60,O 74 barrels.
The Ohio shipments were 1,I55,S SIS barrels,
or an average of 31.2S5 barrels daily. The
runs were 1.5OO, 44T barrels. or a daily aver
age of 4S.4Ol. The Indiana hipment for
August were the largest in the history
OF the field. being 963.00S barrels, or a daily
average of S1,O67 barrels. The runs from
the wells, also the largest in the history
OF the State, were $50, 627 barrels, or a daily
- verage OF 1885 barrels.
y The total shipments for the first eight
months of the present year from the IN
diana hends were sass. lis barrels. and the
runs from the wells were 4.OO5, OO1 barrels.
This shows that during that time the
stock of Indiana crude oil has declined
2,f54,l12 barrels, and at that rate the stocks
soon will be drawn out.
The correct valuation OF the crude prod
uct run from the Indiana wells for the
eight months OF the present year reaches
the large amount Of S,2T0.512.92.

WASHINGTON, sept. line COlOmDldn
legation has just received the following ca
blegram:
'Willemstad, Curacao, Sept. E-vene-
zuelan fleet is bombarding Rio Haeha. j.,
minister in Washington. Rio Hacha is an
important town on the north coast OF
Colombia. This bOmbardment appears to
be the first open act or wal on the 1sthmus.
The Colombo legation is in receipt of a
dispatch from the minister Of foreign af-
fairs at Bogota which says that new in
vasions from Venezuela, Ecuador and
Nicaragua are announced. The minister
declares that Colombia continues to be pa
cifc and strictly neutral and that Colom-
bia condemns the rebel invasion or GarDlreS
into Venezuela.
The Navy Department has ordered the
gunboat Machias, now at Colon, TO BoCas
del Toro TO look after American interests
in that quarter should 1t appear that any
such are in need of protection. The battle
ship Iowa has arrived at Panama. The
gunboat Ranger, now at that place, has
been ordered back to San Francisco.
DR.. Beccerra at present Is at
near the scene of operations, looking after
the interest of his government. The bonn
ba<dment is regarded by the
authorities as an unmistakable and open
act of war. Rio Hacha is SO located as TO
the peninsula west or the Gulf
of Maracaibo. Sovereignty over the pen-
inSula has long been in question, but the
Queen Regent of Spain awarded 1t to Co
lonbia as a result of an arbitration three
years ago and this has been accepted by
both countries. The information reaching
the Colombian legation shows that the
Venezuelan fleet expected to make a juno
ture at Rio Hacha with a considerable
force of Colombian rebels; but this force
was dispersed and the town was strongly
garr1Soned by government troops.

DIVIDED BY A KOWTON
GERMAN PAPERS HOTLY DISCUSS
THE CHINESE MISSION.
Many Think Germany Has "Lost
Face"-EmperOr Likes Prince Chun
Tariff Measure Discussion.

BERLIN, Sept. 1.-The papers this week
have devoted a great deal of space to the
Chinese mission headed by Prince Chun.
1t is characteristic of the secrecy preserved
by the government regarding the Basic
hitch that nobody knows just what the
controversy was about, and the most di-
vergent views still prevail. The most in
fuentiaI papers. however, admit that Ger
many managed the matter badly by not
having all the questions regarding the
ceremonial detail arranged before the mis-
sion left China Even the stoppage at
Basic is interpreted in various ways by
the newspapers. While the general opin-
ion is that Prince Chun stopped there vol
unfairly, it is also said with great positive
ness that orders were sent from Berlin for
the mission to wait on the border until all
the details of the expiatory act were set
tied. Some of the papers assert and others
deny that the Emperor demanded a mOdi-
fed kowtow, and the latter seems to be
the correct version. The Muenchener ALICE
meme Zeitung assumes this is true and
argues that Germany's yielding will not
promote German influence in China, since
Germany was worsted in the kowtow con-
troversy. h Hanover Courier also admits

the kowtow and then abandon the demand.
The Kreuz Zeitung denies that Germany
yielded anything TO the Chinese demands.
The Cologne Volks Z~eitung finally admits
that Germany suffered a humiliation.
Nevertheless all the papers agree that
the Potsdam ceremony was fully satisfac-
tory to Germany's honor.
1t is evident that Emperor William will
like Prince Chun. People who were pres
ent at the ceremony observed this from
the manner in which his Majesty treated
Prince Chun as the ceremony progressed.
While 1t was given out that Emperor
William meant 10 ignore Prince Chun's
presence in Germany after the
was finished, much satisfaction is felt at
the subsequent attentions which the EN-
peror has shown him, like lending the
Prince his yacht, and his Majesty's invi-
tation 10 the prince TO witness the army
m~aneuvers.
The population OF Berlin shows much
curiosity 10 see Prince Chun. Great crowds
form in the streets where he is expected
TO pass. The prince is an assidious sight
seer, employing his time In riding about
Berlin. 1t is said that Prince Chun will
