The Review ■ the Special Session,
Ast Ended.
The Salient ^p|inta Which Marked
the Origip, ^Consideration and
Passage/of the Tariff Law.
The Other Matters Considered
and Acted fcjpon During the
Session—An Ihteras.ing Review.
Washington, Jul* 25.—The extraor
dinary session of Congress which has
just closed was c^led by President
McKinley two days after he took the
oath of office. It met March 13th. The
President's special message explained
the deficiencies in the Revenues, re
viewed the bond issues of the last ad
ministration and urged Congress
promptly to correct the then existing
* condition by passing a tariff bill that
would supply ample revenues for the
support of the government and the
liquidation of the public debt. No
'other subject of legislation was men
tioned in the message, and the tariff
bill has been the
ALL-ABSORBING FEATURE
of the session. The Republican mem
bers of the Ways and Means Commit
tee of the preceding House had been
at work throughout the short session
which ended March 4th. giving hear
ings and preparing the bill which was
to be submitted at the extra session.
Three days after the session opened
the tariff bill was reported to the
House by the Ways and Means Com
mittee. and thirteen days later. March
31, 1897, it passed the House. It went
to the Senate, was referred to the Com
mittee on Finance, and the Republi
can members of that Committee spent
a month and three days in its con
sideration and in preparing the ameud
nients which were submitted to the
Senate May 7th, and exactly two
months later, July 7th, it passed the
Senate with
EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
TWO
amendments. The bill then went to
conference where, after a ten da>
struggle, on July- 17th, a complete
^ agreement was reached by which the
Senate receded from one hundred and
eighteen amendments and the House
from five hundred and eleven. The
others, two hundred and thirty-four
in number, were compromised. The
conference report was adopted by the
House July 19th, at the conclusion of
twelve hours' continuous debate. The
report was taken up in the Senate
July 20th and adopted July 24th. The
tariff bill was signed by the President
the same day.
Congress did not devote its atten
tion entirely to the tariff, though it did
SUBORDINATE EVERYTHING ELSE
to this one measure. The four appro
priation bills which failed on March
4th last in themselves would have com
pelled President McKinley to call Con
gress in extra session, even if the nec
essity for a revision of the tariff Kad
not existed. Th<

New York to replace the one
destroyed by fire. By far the most im
portant piece of new legislation in the
bill, however, was that limiting the cost
of armor plate for the three new battle
ships to $300 per ton. In case the Sec
retary of the Navy should find it im
possible to make contracts for armor
within the price fixed he was authorized
by this provision to take steps to estab
lish a government armor factory of
sufficient capacity to make the
armor. In executing this au
thority he must prepare a
description and plans and specifica
tions of the land, buildings and machin
ery suitable for the factory, advertise
for proposals and report to Congress
at its next session.
IN THE INDIAN RILL,
rfter a severe struggle in both houses,
the question of sectarian schools was
settled by the following declaration of
the government: “That the Secretary of
the Interior may make contracts with
contract schools apportioning as near
as may the amount so contracted for
among schools of various denominations
for the education of Indian pupils dur
ing tfte fiscal year 1898. but shall only
make such contracts at places where
non-sectarian schools cannot be pro
vided for such Indian children, and to
an amount not exceeding 40 per centum
of the amount so used for the fiscal year
1895.”
The question of opening to entry the
rich gilsonite deposits in the Vncom-1
pahgre reservation in I'tah was al*>
compromised by opening snch agricul
tural lands as have rot been allotted
to the Vncompahgre Indians on April J
1. 1898, to entry, but reserving to the
TTnited States title in all lands con- j
taining gilsonite. asphalt or other like :
substances.
IN THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL,
the most important new provision was
that suspending the order of President
Cleveland, setting aside about 21.000.000
acr*s as forest reservations. The law

The Republican headers of the House
decided* at the opening of the session
to pursue a policy of Enaction in order
to throw the responsibility for delay
ing the tariff bill upon the Senate, and
therefore the committees were not an
nounced until the close of the session,
and only urgent matters were consid
ered.
Fifty thousand dollars were appro
priated for the relief ci American cit
izens,in Cuba at tha recitation of the
President: *200.000 was appropriated
for the relief of the Mississippi flood
sufferers: a resolution was pass:d au
thorizing the Secretary of the Navy to
transport supplies contributed for the
relief of
THE POOR AND FAMISHING
in India, and *50,000 were appripriatcd
fcr the entertainment and expense of
the delegates-to the universal postal
convention, who met in this city. The
only expensive piece of general legis
lation enacted by this congress, except
the tariff bill, were the laws to prevent
collisions at sea and to place m force
‘ regulations to prevent collisions upon
certain harbors, rivers and inland wa
ters of the United States; and the bill
authorizing the President to suspend
discriminating duties oa foreign ves
sels and commerce.
The Senate, not being confined as
1 to the scope of its legislation, dealt
i with a number of important subjects,
j both in and out of executive session.
| One of these, which attracted world
! wide attention, was the general arbi
: tration treaty, negotiated by President
Cleveland with Great Britain. After
i exhaustive consideration, despite the
i great pressure brought to bear upon
the Senate by religious and commercial
bodies throughout the country, the
Senate rejected the treaty.
The Hawaiian

negotiated by President McKinley was
still unacted upon when Congress ad
journed.
In open session, after much debate,
the Senate passed the Cuban bllliger

THE GOLD FEVER
lias Reached SlMersville. and a Number
Are lalkintt of Colag to Alaska.
Special to the Register.
Sistersville, W. Va.. July 25.—The
gold fever has reached this city and
everybody about the town is talking of
nothing but the great strike in the
Klondvke fields in Alaska. Quite a
number of people are talking of going
out there to try their hand at placer
mining for the precious metal, and
among this number are George Jami
son and Jake Leasure. who have formed
a stock company for this purpose. Both
of the gentleman have made arrange
ments to get all the money they need,
a number of the oil men of the city
having f gnified their willingness to
put up the necessary amount to carry
thp men through for two years if nec
essary. They expect to leave here in
time to reach Seattle in time to sail
on the boat which leaves there for the
Yukon river on August 27th. The
gentlemen named are well known here
and while they have had no experience
in the business, they are hustlers and
will get to the front as soon as any
of the new people who go in there at
this time. During the next two weeks
it is expected there will be at least a
dozen people leave here for the Pacific
coast with the determination of going on
to Alaska if any opportunity offers.
A SAD ENDING
To a Contemplated txcurslon to Cin

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg. V.*. Ya., July 25.—A sad
ending of a contemplated trip to Cin
cinnati on the $1 excursion this morn
ing at 1:30. came to Edward Palmer, j
aged 30. of Tidioute. Pa., who came
here and was employed as an oil well
driller at Cornwallis. Palmer bought
a ticket but got on the wrong train, i
and was put off at Belpre. It is
thought he started for this side again. I
as a west-bound freight train caught
hint on the trestle and run him down,
killing him instantly. One of the I
wheels passed over his chest, and sev- i
ered the left arm above ihe elbow, j
1’udertakers Murdock & VVarne were
at ore' summoned and in taking
charge of the remains discovered that
the man had been robbed, all of his j
pockets being turned wrong-side out, |
and not a thing could be found by !
which to identify him. The remains j
were brought to this side and several ,
oil men identified him to-day. and his :
boarding house was visited and his :
clotlyhg. containing letters and a fine ;
gold/watch. were found. Palmer has j
a wife and several children at j
Tidioute. and they have been com- j
mJEiicated with, and the remains will j
j^rall probability b^ sent there for in-1
foment.
[ It is said the unfortunate man had
T^een drinking, and this is given as
the cause of his sad ending.

Special to the Register.
Sistersville, W. Va., July 25.—The
j oil fields in this section of the south
west were very quiet la& week, very
little of an important nature transpir
ing. It was expected the early part
of the week that a number of wells
which ^re aboutJtoe would reach the
pay, but most. 6f Thetti failed to con-,
nect, and ag- a result tlmitHwa* only
i two or three wells drilled in, none of
very great importance. Especially can
this^Oe said of those drilled in on the
•.f/est Virginia side in the Elk Fork
territory. ’1 he one well of importance ;
on the Ohio side is that drilled in by
Gordon & Co., on the Beaver t#act, on
W.ilson run. It is in practically new
territory, and one of the most import
ant finds in this section for 9ome time,
and promises to be the opening wedge
of a new pool. This well is located
about seven miles directly east of Sis
tersville on the Ohio side, and is but a
mile or so from a big gas well drilled
i in about a year ago by the Ohio Oil
j Company on Wilson run. When drill
[ ed in, it showed for a production of
about sixty barrels a day for the first
few days, but now has settled down to
a steady flowing production of a Uttie
better than forty barrels a day.
There is every reason to believe that
| a good pool his been tapped in that
section, and as an evidence of this Tact
, take similar cases where there have
I been large gas wells in this section of
! the southwest. It has alweys been the
j case that there has been a good pool or
oil found in close proximity to all the
big gas wells driled in this section of
the country and the consensus of opin
ion among the oil men here is that this
will be no exception. About .three
years ago a well was drilled on the
Beaver farm by this same company,
but it only started off at about five bar
rels a day, but since that time it has
been producing, and it has now in
creased to about twice that amount. It
is believed that this well was not drill
ed deep enough, and it is the intention
of the company to rig it up and drill
deeper. Nearly all of the people hold
ing leases over in that section have
been awakened by the strike made by
Gordon & Co., and they have made |
preparations to develop their territory, j
Gordon has made two locations on the i
Beaver tract. The Fisher Oil Com- ;
pany also has a lot of stuff and intend
to put a well down on their lease.
Several other parties are making ar
rangements to drill, and the indications
are that in the next ten days there will
be four or five strings of tools running.
In last Sunday’s paper there was a
story about some wells drilled by the
Carter Oil Company on the Allen farm,
near Shiloh, in which the assertion
was made that the wells were good, j
and that the company was trying to (
make mysteries of them. During the ;
week some of the writers of the Stand- !
ard Oil Company's papers have taken |
exception to the report of operations j
in that section by this paper and have
had the temerity to say that there was
positively nothing in the story as ;
printed. The cause of this all is that,
the Carter Oil Company people, who j
are the local operating branch of the
Standard, have evidently made a pro- i
test about too much publicity being I
given this strike. Since the article |
was published last Sunday it has been
learned on good authority that both of
the wells already in will make good
producers as soon as they are connect
ed up. One of the wells at the present
time is plugged and the walking beam
bolted to the derrick floor, but all that
does not prevent the oil from spraying
at the rate of about twenty barrels a
day.
Some of the people holding leases
cut there have admitted that the wells
are good. A firm noted for conserva
tive action made an offer last week for
a piece of territory in close proximity
to the Allen farm of $1,000. but the of
fer was refusefl. as the people holding
the territory intend drilling it them
selves.
The demand for territory in this sec
tion of the country is greater now than
it has ever been at any time In the his
tory of the field. Almost daily there
are people coming here from other sec
tions oi the country and especially
from the oil fields of Pennsylvania, New
York and Ohio, and they are looking
for property in which to invest. The
local brokers In oil property stated to
day that they have had more calls for
property than at any time since they
have been in business and that all of
the transactions are being made for
cash.
The prices offered for oil property
are not the fancy figures usually in
vogue when a lot of tenderfeet get in,
but it seems that all of the people who
art> after property understand their
business and know just what they want
and what the projkrty is worth. There
are several large deals on the tapis now.
Ore of the mest important wells to
be drilled In next week is that of the
Henry Oil Company, on the Simeon
Pipes farm, to the southwest of produc
tion. This well is a considerable dis
tance ahead of production and will ex
tend the field«fully a mile. Another
well of Importance due last week ard
which will likely reach the sar.d to
morrrt^^^that of^Bovd Bros. & Co.,
m farm. This well >'s also
and a great deal
depends on it. Following is a list of
some of the most important work now
being done in the Elk Fork pfoi: The
South Penn Oil Company have two lo
cations and the rigs building for wells
on the Boreman & Strous; the same
company has a location and are build
ing the rig for their No. 1 on the
Thomas; Crawford & Treat No. 3 Far
rell will be due in the sand the first
of the week; the rigs are up for their
Nos. 4 and 5 on the Farrell; the Phil
adelphia Oil and Gas Company have
located their No. 1 B. Engle and will ]
commence spudding the early part of
the week; the Magnolia. Oil Company's
No. 3 is due the first of the week; their
No. 2 will be shot to-morrow, as the
production has declined to less than 100
barrels a day; No. 4 started spudding
to-day. There are a number of other
wells' drilling and starting out there,
but the ones mentioned are the most
important ones. There is at this time*
nbout 33 strings of tools running in the
Elk Fork field.
The low price of crude oil is having
a great deal to do with the small amount
of work being done in this section of
the southwest at present and some of
the companies operating here have shut
down well drilling and abandoned loca
tions made on this account. The Fish
er Oil Company, which is the principal
operator in the Benwood field, will be
shut down all drilling in that section
as soon as the wells drilling now have
been completed. They give as a rea
son the low price now' being paid for
the oleagenious fluid.
Ellenboro, W.Va., July 25—The con
tinued decline in the price of oil has
caused operators to, lessen their efforts
somewhat in the defined fields in Rit
chie county, but wildcatting seems to
go on without the least cessation on all
sides.
The South Penn Oil Companys im
portant test well on the Collins land,
near Mole Hill, is 1,100 feet deep, and
will be completed with all possible
speed.
McCormick & Cain have begun spud
ding in their venture on L. P. Wilson’s
farm, along the line of the Penneboro
and Harrisville Railroad.
The well on Harrison Cunningham's
farm, located three miles east of this j
place, was completed through the Big •
Injun sand -some time ago, and was
dry in that formation, but the owners
now propose to drill it to the Gordon
sand, which will be a valuable test for
this section of country.
J. A. Calhoun ha9 the lumber on the
ground preparatory to building a rig
on Mrs. McDougal's farm, on Hughes ;
river, near Goose Neck postoffice.
The owners of the lease on the Abra
ham Lucas farm are not satisfied with
the test they have just finished on that
farm, and will drill another well on the
same tract of land as soon a9 necessary
arrangements can be made.
The irresponsible lease scalper and
liar is a curse to both the farmer and
the legitimate operator, and farmers
should be careful how and to whom
they lease their land. Beware of the
fellow' who promises to do almost ev
erything.he is generally unreliable and
cannot be forced to fulfill any contract. *
The Register has warned its readers of
this class of sharks before, and in at
least one case saved an honest farmer
a goodly sum of money and a deal of
trouble. _
Since snooting me- wni uu «.uc
Wells farm at Cornwallis, the produc
tion has been about 6ixty barrels daily,
and as the Register predicted last
week^M^ipttle to forty or fifty bar
rels per (lay. The owners of the rank
duster on the Ed. Wells land, adjoin
ing, are now hopeful of getting some
oil by putting a shot in their hole,
which will be done this week.
The Cornwallis pool is a hard one
for the talent to locate, and since the
duster came in on the Ed, Wells there
is slight encouragement to continue
operations southwest, which was
thought to be the direction of the pool.
The Waterbury and >fershall wells
gave the territory on the nohheast a
black eye, and it new looks as if the
pool was simply a lake that was al
ready surrounded.
The Fisher Oil Company will make
another test on Sigler & Gilbert's
Waterbury farm.
Cox & Woodvard got a good pro
ducer on the Roberts farm, just south
of Cornwallis. This land is owned hy

The well on Railroad Fork, near Ru
