ENCOURAGES DESERTION.

Secretary Herbert's Order Giving Jack htiile Food Aboard.

VALLK.JO, Cal., March 12.—The crew of the Monterey are up in arms against, lie recent order of the secretary of the navy that the crew of that vessel subsist solely on food procured by the department on contract from the lowest bidder and issued in the form of rations daily by the paymaster of the ship. A similar order concerning the Olympic will go into force on the loth inst. For an indefinite time the contract and ration system has been existent, but it has been always optional with the men whether they ate only what the government provided or elaborately modified their bill of fare when possible.

Every enlisted man in the navy is allowed 80 cents a day for ration money and heretofore he has had the privilege of letting the department- keep his 80 cents and feed him three times a day or drawing it out in the form of £0 a month and boarding oil shore, or furnishing their mess to suit the fancy and purse. By this means Jack has lived about as well as his captain, as regards the freshness and quality of meat, potatoes, tea, coffee, vegetables, bread, not to speak of the canned and bottled goods.

Secretary Herbert's recent order has tied the men down to what they consider unnecessary narrow limits in their eating. They will only be permitted to eat at certain hours: only be allowed partake of a certain quantity of each article and the bill of fare will be unchangeable. The sailors say that paymasters and other officers now make a commission on the purchase of the supplies. (.jluite a number have deserted from the ((lynipio because of this commissary change.

THE INDIANA OIL F1KU).

It is Growing Greater and Will Add Millions of Money to the Wealth of ttie State.

Few people have an idea of the magnitude to which the oil business in this State is growing. Surpassed all oilier States of the Union in the extent and magnitude of our natural gas territory and have reaped and will continue to reap great benefits from that for years to come. The oil field, however, bids fair to surpass in extent and territory the gas fields, and will bring more money to the State's wealth than ever natural gas did.

Producing oil wells are now running in the counties of Adams, Wells, Blackford, Jay, Raudolph, Deleware, Grant and Huntington, and in other counties there are 45 oil wells which have developed from gas wells. Oil leasers are now busily engaged securing territory, and before snow flies in the fall the Indiana oil field will be developed and found to extend from Terre Haute on the west to the St. Mary and Mercer county fields in Ohio with Indianapolis in the center of the south edge.

There are paying oil wells near Terre Haute and good wells exist near Xoblesville. It will also be found that few counties will surpass Hancock as an oil field. It will be developed in due time. Now to show what- profit there is in oil svells we quote the following: Oil is now worth o7)-2 cents a barrel. During December the Indiana oil wells averaged for each well per day 2o}. barrels, January 25 barrels, February 24}J barrels. Thus you see it would make each well worth nearly $15 dai'y and easily &1U0 per week. Some of the wells up in Jay and Wells counties averago 150 barrels, daily, so those people know what it means to "strike oil," and strike it rich.

New wells are being put down right along. In January there were 222 wel completed with 99 dry holes or gas wells, and an output of 3,150 barrels daily. In February 171 completed wells, 72 dry holes, and a daily output of 2,425 barrel-i. There ai now in March in process of drilling, li5 wells and rigs up for 111 more. We do not know the exact number of wells in the State but it can be seen that they are increasing rapidly, and as each producing well means about $100 a week, it can readily be seen how oil wells will add to a county's wealth. We trust and believe that it will be struck rich in old Hancock, and if so we will know in its fullest sense the meaning of that term—"That man has struck oil."

He pounded on the door but was denied admission. He cried that the door was locked a:id requested thav it be opened as he had a message from the I governor. His voice was heard by a number of Democrats who were in the corridors and they ran to his assistance, An attempt was made to force o,.v:i the I doors, but the crowd of Republicans who were bent on keeping the governor's secretary out with his message resisted with all the force they could command. The heavy oak doors were unable to Ftand the pressure brought to bear upon them and they were force 1 open.

King, who was in front, was forced right into the crowd of Republicans, who were bent on keeping liini from reaching the speaker's desk. With one accord the men began striking at each other, and the seeretary was in great danger of be:,ig killed. "Kill him! Kill liiin!" cried a hundred voices.

The women who were, in the gallery screamed, and several of them fainted. In a moment everything was confusion, and friends and enemies alike were fighting. The sole aim of the Democrats was to get King through the crowd to the. speaker's desk with the governor's veto, and the Republicans were determined to hold him back until 12 o'clock, at which time the house would adjourn sine die.

A few seconds later King, with his clothes torn almost from his body and his face bleeding, was pushed by main strength through the crowd and thrown heavily against the speaker's desk. He still held the governor's veto in his hand, bat it never reached the speaker.

Just as King was about to place it in his hand Speaker Adams kicked and beat back iie crowd, and in a voice. which could be heard above the liorrible din, cried: "The house has adjourned! The house has adjourned

This raised a great cry from the crowd, and everybody made a rush toward tlie speaker. Tin lrom King's hand by a man who dashed I out of the crowd with it and made good I his escape.

This practically ended the riot. Several small lights occurred afterward 1 but the police and others finally succeeded in driving the men from the chainher. Nil less than I wo dozen persons were hurt. ."No arrests were made.

The trouble originated over tho bill to supplant Custodian Griffin, a Democrat, Avith a Republican. The governor has

three days in which to consider ail measures. The bill was delivered to the governor three nights ago. It was his scheme to hold it to the last minute and then the. legislature could not pass over his veto, as its statute adjournment Would take place at 12 o'clock.

The governor's secretary started with the bill with 10 minutes' time. The liepublicans attempted by

It being the last day of the legislature, the lieutenant governor took advantage of the constitutional right to pass no bills on the last day.

The house passed the bill for a new Fort Wayne charter and (he bill requiring township trustees to make a list of indigents who are assisted.
