AMBASSADOR RosEN.
Called on Secretary Root for Informa-
ton

Ambassador Rosen called upon Secretary
Root at the State Department today re-
speeding conditions at st. Petersburg. but
It developed that he had no Information OF
his own and was simply after news.
Inquiry here discloses the fact that when
Mr. Myer, United States ambassador to
st. Petersburg. was recently in this coun-
try on leave Of absence, he secured permits
sion from the State Department to increase
the force of servants employed at the en-
bassy. Usually these servants are paid eut
of the private purse Of the ambassador
but the present conditions are abnormal.
1t is not possible to learn here where Mr.
Myer secured his additional help; whether
they were taken from the United States or
picked up in England, and it is suggested
that some secret service men may have
been employed.

BULLS AND BEARS

NEW YORK, December 4.--An interesting
dresses has been that he has furnished long
in advance OF his formal communications to
Congress expressed views which were later
elaborated in his annual and special mes
sages to the national legislature. For this
reason there is a belief in well-informed
quarters in the financial district that the
message which will be sent to Congress to-
morrow will not contain any startling sur
prises.
About the only new development In the
Presidents recent public remarks was con-
tanned in a short address which he made to
visiting delegation at the White Louise
few weeks ago, when he said something to
the effect that in his scheme Of railroad re-
form he had not gone as far as he would
like to. and that, for example, he Thought
something might be done in the matter OF
corporate overcapitalization, which he held
the country would have otherwise and for
various political and Industrial evils.
Some curiosity has been expressed lately
as 10 whether o. not the President. when
he spoke to this effect, was fresh from
writing something about it in the message
which the country will be able to read to-
morrow afternoon. If he has touched on
the matter of overcapitalization In his
statements prepared for Congress, Ii Is re-
garded doubtful If he has accompanied
It with any pleas or recommendation for
legislation at this time, for 1t is thought
that the important railroad rate question
Will be sufficient to engage the whole at
tention of the lawmakers at Washington
this winter.

One view of the Russian situation which
Is widely entertained in Wall street is q
demand by Malcolm & Combe, who say in
their December review of the financial and
general conditions relating to the securities
markets:
The possibilities of this situation
disturbing factor in all of the security mar
kets of the world. especially in Paris. can
not be ignored, and 1t is difficult now to
measure the prGba BILE intensity of the ffnan-
cial unsettlement. Nevertheless, if the
worst should happen and revolutionary
government should come into power the
reputation of any part Of the present out
standing government debt would not be
tolerated by the civilized world, and the
new government would find it necessary
to assume for the country all outstanding
obligations. No government in Russia
could exist long without amicabie inter
national relations. 1t is improbable. there
fore, especially in view Of general condt-
tons in this country, that financial unse--
Element in our markets from this cause
would be profound"
"a
1t is going pretty far. however, to say
that debt reputation could not be ac-
compl;shed. History is full of such actions
by revolutionary governments, which have
not prevented the subsequent rehabilitd-
ton OF credit. Russia is a country whose
boundless natural resources are comparable
only to ours. 1t has the greatest territory
In the world and one of the largest popu-
lations.
A revolutionary government, If estab-
lished by the right kind of men, might
consider Itself better able to set about the
task of developing and exploiting Russas
resources If 1t started with a clean slate,
SO far concerns the external and inter-
nal debts piled up through centuries of dis
solute autocratic rule. Nevertheless. the
best judgment in the financial community
here Is that no more radical outcome OF
the situation in Russia is to be looked for
with regard to its debts than temporary
defaulting in interest or at the worst
partial reputation only.

Welsh had a negro race Wednes-

robbed another in Lake Charles Tues
day evening aad came TO Welsh
Tuesday night. On Wednesday morn
ING the robbed negro came over on
the 9 O'Clock train and when the train
stopped at the depot the robbed negro
saw his man and the thief saw the
man he had robbed. This brought
about a foot race through the streets
of Welsh in which the thief out rar
his parsuer. This occurred SO sud
denly that the spectators did no
grasp the meaning of the affair unit
too late to assist the injured party
The thief took to the woods that sklr
the town of Welsh on the south ant
all trace of him lost. All the grleVe'
party could say was: "lhat negr'
sbo do run like a skert rabbit" In
thief thought; He who steals an
runs away, will live to steal som

THE TERRY WELL SPRUEG A LEAK
ButNTr. Maui LabOred Until He Dis.
covered q Remedy.

For awhile last week it was thought
the Terry we'll had gone out OF busl-
ness. 1t was pumping over hundred
barrels a day when the directors Or
dered Mr.. Maui, against his judgment,
to pump faster. He applied more
steam and the result was a clear
stream of water instead of oil. Mr..
Maui at once began work and con-
tinued diligently for several days, and
on last Tuesday his labor was reward
ed. He discovered that the pressure
of the water near the middle OF the
we'll was so great that it bursted a
section of pipe sufficient to let in wa
ter that filed the well, and keeping
the flow of oil back. Mr.. Maui, after
much hard work and worry, succeed
ed in screwing the screen down until
the water was entirely shut off. The
pump was then set to work and q pure
stream of Oil was soon pouring lhlC
the pit. The well is just as good nov
as it was before the mishap occurred
1t is gratifying to know this well i
again all right, for itmeans much tt
Welsh at this time.
The directors of the company lei
last Sunday morning in disgust TO
, their homes at Jackson, Mich, be
lieving that the oil had given out an

AS soon as Mr.. Maui found tn
cause and applied the remedy he telt
eraphed the directors, and ere thi
!. time they are rejoicing overtheir goo
