MONEY ORDER BUSINESS.

Washington, August S.--A. w.
Machen has devised n plan for the
extension of the money order sys-
TEN to the rural free delivery SER
vice, by which rural free delivery
carriers may not only cash monsy
orders and carry requests for them
to the terminal postofice, but draw
aud sell orders mt the farmers s
door.
This is considered the greatest
step that has been taken in the
Improvement OF the postal facili-
ties of the country and Superin-
tendent Machen has been assured
that his plan will be approved by
the postmaster general,
Although the figures are not
yet all in, it is pretty plain now
that the money order business Of
the postofIice department will show
a net increase for the fiscal year,
ending June 30, of about $50, 900,
600. The increase for the previous
fiscal year was about $39, 900, 900.
Much of this increase, it is believed
is due to the rural free. delivery
service, and the proposed improve.
ment is expected to materially
increase the revenue from this
source for the next year.

THE GULE'S FUTURE

Commodore Maurv, America $
greatest gcographer, prophesied
over fifty years ago that some day
the world s commerce would center
IN the Gulf of Mexico Many pro-
plr with lusular ideas aud opinions
have, hitherto, ~cutfcd at Mnury's
forecast. slNs the IIumesrekcr and
investor, bul change has come
over the spirit of their dreams, and
whether the wish was or was not
father To the Thought, whether
prompted by malice or mn honest
disbelief III the future greatness of
the South, It matters not, oncthing
is certain, these doubling Thomases
have had their eyes opened aud
are now ready, in common with the
rest of the world, to believe that
Manry 5 prophecy may be realized,
nay, that tt Will will he realized.
Just at a period when the ques-
ton OF The world supply of fuel
was forcing itself upon the minds
OF the thinking people of all ma
tons, rs we have briefly shown,
when the scarcity was becoming n
subject for grave consideration,
came the news of the discovery of
a field SO rich in fuel that all men
stood startled aud amazed, even
those among them who had been
accustomed 10 handling great ques-
tions and in whose hands 1t might
be- said the disposal Of the worlds
wealth lay, could not then aud
have not since dared to estimate
the probable effect it will have III
rcvolutlonlzng The industries Of
the world. Is it any wonder then
that people are coming to believe
that Maury's prophecy is about to
be rcalizedP

THE EARLY ANNEXATION or CUBA.

1t now seems quite probable that
the annexation Of Cubn will soon
come to the front as u pressing
issue, because the financial and
economic condition Of the island
threatens to result in serious dis
turbances, and in that event the
United States will be compelled to
interfere and restore peace and or
der by means of annexation. The
Cuban government desires to bor-
row $35 ,OOO, 900 to aid in the sugar
planting interests and pay its
debts to the soldiers who fought
for Cuban independence after the
revolt Of 1895, and who are very
poor and needy. The situation in
the island is undoubtedly very
serious, as the failure of a large
banking house in Havana has
caused feeling of depression and
more failures are expected. There
are grave doubts, however, as to
the ability Of Cuba to negotiate n
loan of $35, 900, 900, because it will
not be taken in Europe, aud this
leaves the matter to the 6nanciers
Of New York, with the possibility
that Presidenr Roosevelt may in
terfere against the loan as a matter
Of duty under the Platt amendment
to the Cuban law.
If Cuba fails to get the relief
that the loan would afford the
affairs in the island will reach Il
crisis and may precipitate a revo-
luton, because when the people
are in a condition Of bankruptcy,
when their industries are broken
down, and in addition there is q
large element Of idle and hungry
population, there are presented all
the requirements for revolution
in a Spanish-American country.
The business men OF Cuba favor
annexation, as well as majority
Of the planters. They see the
greater prosperity Of Porto Rico,
which has free commercial relations
with the United States, without the
restriction Of tariff barriers. AS
conditions grow more gloomy in
Cuba the feeling for annexation
increases. 1t is not u thing that
can be accomplished in few days
or weeks, but unless the United
States iutervenes 10y reciprocity
arrangement, aud so makes Cuba
prosperous aud truly independent,
it is almost certain that the annex
alton party on the island will
rapidly increase and may become a
controlling power We have al
ways held that there is no object
ion to Cuban annexation il the
people Of the island favor it. 1t
looks as If the force Of circum-
stances-of our creatiOn-may in-
duce or even compel them to favor
it as the price of commercial and
industrial prosperity States.

Welsh, La, Aug. H. Great
has been the excitement at this
place and in the adjoining towns
to-day from early this morning un-
til late this evening.
The much -talked.of Welsh oil
well was the cause of all the excite
ment. About 1880 o'clock this
morning a loud roaring was heard
at this place in the direction of the
oil well, and upon examination it
was found that the well was blown
out and was sending a dark fog
high into the air. Many thought
that it was gushing pure oil, and
the report was spread as true to the
adjoining towns, and as consequ-
ence great crowds hastened to the
scene from ali parts of the conn
try.
Upon arriving at the well, it was
found that the derrick was almost
entirely demolished, the top being
entirely blown off and fully one
third smashed into small pieces.
The drill pipe, which had been set
up in the derrick after being taken
out Of the we'll, was thrown across
over the we'll and the gushing was
greatly impeded and its strength
suppressed. However, in the face
of all these impediments, it hurried
sand, water, rocks and oil fully
25O feet in the air.
