Representing the Standard Oil Co
vey department. A. T. Wildman, OF
Oklahoma City. has been in Roswell
for the past three days looking over
the situation. and he is so well pleas
ed that he has made an offer for his
company of paying one-third the cost
OF a deep well in this section. He con
siders the outlook sufficiently bright
for the Standard people TO put money
into a prospect hole. He would want
the hole to go down $500 or 1000
feet and would want to have the work
done by experts that his company
would provide.
Mr.. Wildman left this morning for
thin the next thirty days to continue
his work of locking over the field,
and, if possible, to make arrange
ments for the sinking of the prospect
hole.
Before departing. the Standard s
surveyor said to a Record reporter
that the surface indications here are
as good as in any of the oil countries
Of Kansas and Oklahoma and that
there are other indications here that
make the prospect very bright. He
would want to put the hole down 40
miles west of Roswell, however, and
would like to see a hole sunk at, Am
arillo.
AS to the offer TO pay one-third of
the expense, Mr.. Wildman made it
to some of the real estate men, ask
ing them to forward it to the Ros-
well Commercial Club.
Mr.. Wildman made a tour of the
country precincts about Roswell and
is delighted with the beauty of the
orchards, alfalfa fields and other far
ming interests.

MEANS GREAT CHANGE
Russian Admiral Pays Little Atten-
tion to Questions of Neutrality and
Cares Not for Criticism.-Iron Dis
cipiine is Maintained on Russian
Ships.

ST. Petersburg, May 17.-There is
little room for skeptfcism as to the
genuineness of the broad policy of
Imperial reform, after the remarkable
steps sanctioned by Emperor Nicho-
las in the imperial rescript issued yes
terday, modifying the restrictive de
crees in nine western provinces of
Russia and giving the Poles greater
freedom for acquiring farming lands
and purchasing landed properties and
industrial premises and giving permis
sion to introduce the Polish and Lithu
nian languages in primary and secon-
Diary schools where a majority of the
inhabitants are non-Russian. Almost
ait one sweep the whole burden of re-
strictive laws in Poland and the Bal
tic provinces has been removed and
the privileges for which the natives
have been fighting for years are re-
stored. The assembly of Polish noble
men is restored and re-established
and all harsh administrative meas
ures are abolished.
In effect the measures sanctioned
are an entire reversal of the Russian
policy in ancient Poland and the Bal
tic provinces. These measures it is
understood will be allowed by the in

Saigon, May 17.-Admiral De JON
quieres, the French naval command
er at Saigon. who was cruising along
the AMMAN coast on the cruiser Gui-
chen. returned here today According
to reports gathered concerning the
Russian fleet, Admiral Rojestvensky
showed absolute disregard of all dis
cussion on the subject of neutrality.
The Russian commander proceeded as
if his position gave him absolute in
dependence. He declared that he act
ed ON his own Judgment and said
that criticism did not change his opin-
ions. Iron discipline. it is added was
maintained on board the Russian war
ships.
In reply to the representations of
| the Japanese government, the French
government has notified the authorf-
ties here that Admiral De Jonquieres
reported that he had cruised along
| the coast of AMMAN on May Is and
IA for the purpose of ordering the
| Russian ships to leave the coast
should he find any in French waters.
The admiral it is added, did not
| find any Russian vessels between
Cape ST. James and Turin. Even so
far north as Jowanedy, the most nor
thern anchorage on the AMMAN coast,
not one Russian ship was observed.

 Britt becomes champion lightweight of the world.
 The, fight was the first international championship pugilist contest to be held in this city for decade, but en- thusiasm was not high, mostly because of the unfavorable influences which have attended the matching of the men. The date for the battle had previously been set for April 9. but the failure of the local board of supervisors to issue permit for the contest compelled a postponement. Another circumstance which greatly dampened interest was the prohibition by the grand jury of all, public, wagering on events of this kind and as a result of these Iestric- tiops speculation was limited to pri- vate bets between individuals.
 Notwithstanding adverse conditions the contest drew to the pavilion n representative gathering of fight fol- lowers and when Referee Edward Smith of Oakland summoned the prin- cipals to the center of the ring 10 await the initial gong the large auditorium was comfortably filled on the lower floors. while the gallery was taxed to its seating capacity.
 There was little excitement at Cor bett's place yesterday afternoon when the fighters stripped for weighing in. The articles of agreement called for l33 pounds at 2 o'clock on the after noon of the contest. Both men easily came within the specified notch. Ac- cording to statements made by pool sellers, where wagers were secretly made. the speculation on the result was light. Britt opened strong fa- vorite at to 10 and those figures var jed little throughout the day.
