WAR NOTES.

On Sunday last the Japs blew up one
of the Russian forts on the Kekwan
hill, to the north of Port Arthur, and
after an assault lasting till midnight,
captured it, with number OF guns.
They first dug tunnel under the forf,
and in this placed two tons OF dyna-
mite. The capture of this fort is anoth-
er important step in the reduction OF
tho place.
All the Russian battleships and cruis-
ers in the harbor of Port Arthur have
been damaged, partly sunk and desert
ed, excepting the Sevastopol.' and some
torpedo boats, which went into the
outer harbor. These were attacked by
the Japs during snowstorm. but the
attack does not seem to have been sue
cessful.
The two armies along the Sakhe river
remain quiet in their frost-covered bur-
rows, excepting desultory firing ard re-
connoitering.
Tuesday of this week was the date
set for beginning the inquiry into the
circumstances attending the Russian
naval attack upon a British fishing
feet in the North sea. The information
al board selected comprises English,
Russian, French and American experts
and the board will sit and hear the evi-
dence in Paris. Great Britain has pre-
pared elaborately to present its side OF
the case, with large number OF wit
nesses to support it, but there is no In
dication yet how broad scope the In
vestigation will take. Russia has not
disclosed its attitude. It's original con-
tention was that japanese torpedo boats
were concealed in the fishing fleet
which made an attack upon one dlvl
sion of the squadron. Recently it was
announced from St. Petersburg thai
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky admitted
the two divisions of his fleet had fired
upon each other, inficting materia
damage

Oil and Gas Notes.

The Market-The Standard reduced
the price, last Friday, from Sl.60 to
81. 81, drop of cents barrel, and the
Producers are wondering why-whether
the new gusher field in W. Va; Law
sons raid on Amalgamated Copper or
the proposed investigation OF the Com
pany by the Government, is responsible
for the cut
A big business Phillips Oil and
Gas Co is drilling in this county, and
also in Allegheny, Armstrong and
Clarion counties They sell about tif-
teen million feet of gas per day, ar an
average of ten cents, or 81, 500 worth a
day; and besides this their oil produc-
ton is large. They employ about two
hundred men.
Adams twp.--James Extine & Co.,
struck strong 3d-sand gasser, on the
Extine farm near Myoma, last Satur-
day night, and had hard work getting
it capped.
The Boyer Oil & Gas Co. have struck
a small 100-foot well on the Sisney
farm in Marson twp.
A number Of wells are being drilled
in the neighborhood of Morrison, Deet-
rick & Co s well on the Samuel Patter-
son farm south of town. The Morrison
we'll is doing Is barrels day.
The Reason-The Derrick gives the
following explanatio o. he cut in tie
price OF oil:-"The decline in the price
of credit balances came as a most dis
agreeable surprise TO oil producers
everywhere but it was clearly forshad-
owed by the cut in refined quotations of
the day preceding. While the stocks
Of high grade oil in the eastern fields
have been decreasing, the producers be-
yond the Mississippi have been remark
ably active, and by the time the pipe
line, connecting the Kansas oil field,
with the big refinery at Whiting, Ind,
is completed, five million barrels Of
Western oil will be available for the
markets of the world This oil is ad-
mittedly inferior to that classified as
Pennsylvania petroleum, but it Is equal
to the average output of the Llma-Indi-
ana districts. Hence it promises TO
supply the European demand for
cheap and reliable illuminant, and thus
leaves a larger amount of the Pehnsyi-
vapia product to be consumed at home.
The new regulations fixing the price OF
Kansas oil, according to gravity, are
also directly responsible for the lower
prices marked for the output of the old
er sections of the Pennsylvania field
where an inferior grade of petroleum Is
produced
