The American Window Glass Company pays the Fort Wayne Gas Com pany I'M'K the Manhattan Oil Company IU Phoenix and AJax Oil Companies $I.) each, and the Sun, Cudahy and other companies would run It up to $100,000. All the oil in the Indiana field i3 sold to th? Standard at Montpelier. Some of the farmers have become wealthy and have abandoned farming altogether. Th'- unexpected staying qualities of tho gas is a disappointment to the oil men. Oil always follows in the wake of gai. As the gas is exhausted the underlying stratum of oil Is released, drowning out weak gas wells and entirely displacing the gas. The ell drilling rigs are still working along the outer edges of the field, but the results are not satisfactory. Two Small Forged Check. Social to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind., Jan. 1.

BLOCKED BY CHILEANS WORK OF TIIK PAX-AMEHICAX CO.VFEItEXCE AT A STANDSTILL. Compulsory Arbitration Scheme in DiiiiKer of Delnfg Killed Some Delegates May Withdraw. MEXICO CITY, Jan. l.-The situation in the Pan-Arnerican conference continues critical and probably not until the day after to-morrow will the fate of the gathering be known. The Chilean delegates were closeted with one another to-day, but when seen they declined to give any intimation as to their ultimate action. If they remain firm and refuse to allow the plan of compulsory arbitration to be reported to the conference, then either they or several of the other South American delegates must withdraw. The burden of peace-making falls on the Mexicans, as the United States delegates remain neutral. Though the lat ter will not sign a plan of compulsory arbitration they have no objection to allowing such a plan being signed by some of the South Americans, to be reported to the conference, as long as the United States goes on record as having nothing to do with it. Still the Americans will not take an active part in procuring admittance for the compulsory plan. When asked why they do not take the same stand as the Americans the Chileans hint that the introduction of the compul sory plan will be made the pretext of covert attacks on Chile like that of Baez; that the facts will be misrepresented abroad and that their enemies in South America may endeavor to use the semi-sanction of the conference for compulsory arbitration against Chile In the future. The situation is the theme of general conversation in political circles. What chielly worries the Chileans is that the compulsory arbitration plan, if it goes to the conference at all, is likely to go there with a slight majority. It is known that it has at present ten supporters, as against eight who will never vote for it. The Chileans would not mind if the plan had not this majority. They have made unsuccessful attempts to detach Salvador from the plan, and now they are hard at work on the delegation of Honduras. So far as developed the Chileans' attitude commands little sympathy even among the delega tions who do not favor compulsory arbitra tion. It is claimed that it looks like an attempt of Chile to coerce the conference, and no reason is seen why, while holding their own views, the Chileans should not allow some of the other nations to place themselves on record tor compulsory arbi tration if It pleases them.

The political situation is quiet in Japan at present, and there are no rumors of war. Japan is making gigantic preparations for the monster exposition which is to be held In Osaka in TJU3."

Philippines, Guam and Hawaii Essential to Commercial Expansion. LOUISVILLE. Ky., Jan. ,1. Gen. Joseph Wheeler, who lectured here to-night, said this afternoon in an Interview: "I have differed with some of my people on the question of our new possessions, but I am convinced that the retention of the Philippines, Guam and Hawaii are absolutely essential to our commercial development. This country, during the past year, was the greatest producer of a number of articles, including cotton, steel, petroleum and wheat. Our population forms about 5 per cent, of the world's people. In the great Occident half of the world's population live. They are great producers. They produce what we need and they in turn want what we produce. My contention then is that the possession of Hawaii, Guam and the Philippines give to the United States an Indispensable advantage In the struggle for commercial power in the East." General Wheeler brushed aside as a problem of speedy and easy solution the pacification of the Philippines. As to Cuba. General Wheeler said: "Cuba will be part of us. The people will eventually realize that all their best Interests demand the union. While I was in Cuba a number of prominent Cubans indicated to me that this sentiment even then generally prevailed." JOSEPH BARTLEY'S PARDON. Governor Savage Ilnth Criticised antl Commended for His Action. LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 1. Governor Sav age will leave to-morrow for a short tour of the Southern States, his final destination being New Orleans. At the Statehouse it was understood the pardon of Joseph Bart ley, the defaulting state treasurer, was to be the final act of executive clemency for the present holiday season. No local hap pening for months has caused the sensation created by the release of Hartley. Governor Savage said to-night that he had received many personal expressions of approval of his act, as well as messages of congratulations. Telegrams of the same tenor poured into the Hartley home and friends and former neighbors called to ex press their good will. In this city there were also expressions condemning the Governor's action, accompanied by predictions that It would have an important political bearing. Mr. Hartley won d make no state ment. The theory that the Governor was actuated by the belief that the pardoned man would be in a position to make restitution of part of the half-million dollars lost to the State was neither affirmed nor denied.

FRENCH INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. It Will ne Part of Chicago Inlversity and Get $ 1 ,tO0,OtJi). CHICAGO, Jan. 1. One million dollars is the sum offered by Robert Ixbaudy, ,a French multimillionaire, for the establishment of a French Industrial school in connection with the University of Chicago. It will be the greatest institution of its- kind in the world. The tender was made to President Harper to-day through M. Lebaudy's agent, Emil Ridel, of the French army. Dr. Harper promptly replied It was the very thing the university desired, and the preliminaries were settled at once. The new school is to be an integral part of the University of Chicago, and the necessary building, for which M. Lebaudy will furnish the money, will be located on the campus of that institution. M. Lebaudy does not expect to end his interest in the proposed school with the gift of $1,0X1.000. He will al3o establish an endowment fund. The Institution takes on still greater importance from the fact that it will be actively fostered by the French government. The students will consist of Gi0 graduates of French colleges, to be selected by the government, and 2X will be. sent over each year. They will come on scholarships, all expenses of transportation and living being defrayed by I ranee. COSTLY PAINTING INJURED. Hole Torn in the Picture of General La v ton's Last FiKht.

NO MERGER AT PRESENT LEADING ELECTRICAL COMPANIES PH OIJ ABLY WILL XOT COMBINE. Westinghonse OfHclnl Does Not Believe the Report of n 50,000,000 Consolidated Concern. NEW Y.ORK, Jan. 1 J. Tierpont Morgan has under way a deal of vast importance to the electrical world, involving a combined capital of $30,000,OCK), says the Herald. The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, of Pittsburg, and the General Electric Company, in which Mr. Morgan is the controlling factor, are to be brought together and operated under the community of interests plan. The news of the proposed merger, reports of which have been current for some days In well-informed circles in Wall street, have been officially confirmed. No statement will be made until the merger has been accomplished. This merger will bring together not only two companies with a capitalization of nearly $50,000,000, but the two largest manufacturers of electrical apparatus in the United States will pass Into the hands of a syndicate of which Mr. Morgan will bo a central figure. The companies have branches In England, France and Germany which also will pass into the hands of the central organization. Additional color has been lent to the report that a cornmunity-of-interest scheme is being evolved between the two companies by the fact that George Westinghouse, the president of the company which bears his name, has been here in New York recently, and has conferred frequently with Mr. Morgan. One of the officials of the "Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company said jesterday that the foregoing story had no foundation, so far as he was aware. He added: "Such reports are easily originated and readily believed by the majority of financial people and others interested in industrial matters who look upon such an arrangement as almost Inevitable. The chief obstacles in the way of such an arrangement are probably the conservative views of those in control of the Westinghouse company as to the capitalization, management and other details." Soap Plants Mny De Consolidated. ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 1. From advices received here it is understood that Southern soap manufacturers are organizing for a consolidation of all plants south of the Ohio river. Edward O. Miles, secretary of the largest soap manufacturing concern in Atlanta, said to-day that his company had been asked to join the combination, which Mr. Miles said would affiliate with similar associations in the North and West. "It is not the purpose of the organization, which will be known as the Southern Soap Manufacturers' Association," said Mr. Miles, "to form on the basis of a trust. We wish to correct the abuses of the industry and not to regulate prices. We will have nothing to do with prices. Many methods which manufacturers utilize to introduce their goods are detrimental to the trade and injure those who engage in them as well as the other manufacturers. We wish to place the trado upon a genuine business basis." Enough for One Washington Day. Kansas City Journal. In a letter from Washington, Bill Morgan notes the plow manner in which busli.esa is transacted in the national capital and gives the following story to illustrate it: State Senator Fitzpatrick, of Kansas, was in Washington on department business. He couldn't get this business pushed through, no matter how much he hurried. One day he met National Committeeman Dave Mulvane and complained that during the whole day he hadn't been able to accomplish a single thing. "Didn't you write a letter to your w ife?" asked Dave. "Yes. I did." responded Fitzpatrick. "Well, don't kick. You can only do one thing a day in Washington, and you've done it." A .Matter of Tips. Boston Advertiser. "Look here," roared old Fustlbudget, over his wife's little millinery bill, "what do you mean bv this extravagance?'"" The item was: "One tip (Ostrich) $12." "What did you say that tip on Amalgamated cost you?" asked his wife, with a far-away look in her eyts. And Fustibudset never said another word, but went out into the cold air ami kicked the house dog down the area steps. Heady to Prove It, Too. Kansas City Journal.

Joe Bernstein, of New York, was awarded the decision over Tommy White, of Chicago, by Referee Stewart to-day at the end of fifteen rounds of fighting before the West End Club. The decision, in the opinion of many at the ringside, was an injustice fo the Chicago boxer. White landed repeatedly with left jabs throughout the fight. In the early rounds Bernstein attempted to rush, but left counters, beautifully timed, stopped him. In every round White landed repeatedly with left on Bernstein's face. Bernstein would rally near the end of each round and for about thirty seconds would rush and rough matters, doing, however, little or no damage to White. The men fought at 12G pounds.

Handler acted like a novice in the first round. In the second he improved a trifie, but was clearly outclassed. In the third round Jackson sent the Newark man to the platform with a crash. He struggled to his feet, but Jackson smashed him all over the ring. A left inside hook to the jaw sent Handler to the ropes, which saved him from going down again. He was groping helplessly around the ring when Referee charley White stopped the fight. 'Chick" Defeated by '111.' FINDLAY, O., Jan. 1. "Biz" Mackay, of Findlay, O., defeated Chick Brooker, of Cincinnati, this afternoon in two rounds. Mackay wa the aggressor from the, start and had Brooker at his mercy at the end of the first round. Chick was sent to the floor several times in the opening of the second round and finally went to the ropes hopelessly beaten. The lads fought a tenround draw recently. TEACHING TRICK ELEPHANTS. System Lnrpely n Matter of Block nnd Full. Harvey Sutherland, in Alnslee's Magazine. While the elephant is rot a carnivorous beast that would as soon eat a man as look at him, it is dangerous enough to inspire Interest. Also, it is hard to see how to teach it to do acrobatic tricks. One would almost as socn try to teach a barn to do skirt dances. Instructing these bulky pachyderms is largely a matter of block and fall. You wish to teach the elephant to stand on his head. Chains are passed around his hindquarters and he is hoisted up into the air often enough for him to understand what is wanted of him by the trainer. In posing the animals have to be lifted into position. For example, one has to stand with his forefeet on another's hindquarters while he flourishes his trunk aloft in a theatrical attitude. To teach him to do this you piss a chain around his throat and another around his trunk to lift it up to the salute. The assistants haul away on the neck chain until the elephant begins to choke. Naturally he rises up on his hind bgs to ease his neck and paws the air for breath. As soon as he is up lar enough the elephant on whose back he is to place his forefeet is backed in under him. It Is a common thing to see ebphants' ears torn into fringes and their thick hide lacerated till the blood comes with the hook the trainers carry. One of thf- sad features of this life is that the elephant Is ungrateful for his education and watches every chance to kill his dear teacher. If an elephant Is to be taught to waltz one man gets at the front end .and another at the rear end of the beast, and each shoves his end around till the animal learns that when he hears the word "waltz" it means that he is to whirl. When they walk with their forefeet on a rolling tub one man Roes before and another behind the tub and steadies it for the elephant with crowbars stuck between the tub and the ground. In the see-naw act the ele phants at the end and the one in the middle have to be held in position by tackle and by men. The job of teaching elephants signature Is on every box of the genuine

calls for the exercise of muscle as well as mind. But some of the showiest tricks are the easiest taught. When Mr. Snyder saw Lockhart'3 elephant blow the harmonica, to the great delight of the multitude, he bought a 5-cent harmonica and taught Tom in the Park to do the same thing in ten minutes. All there was to it was to get the elephant to hold the thing with the finger of his proboscis. As he breathes through his trunk he couldn't help blowing and sucking through the reeds. He did not play any of the popular airs of the day. That would have been a little too much to expect, but he will blowon it and waltz at the same time. This man Lockhart is a very ingenious trainer and thinks of many quaint little tricks that please the public. All such things as ringing a bell or grinding an organ are taught the elephant by putting the object in his trunk and moving it for him. When he dances with bells tied around his forefeet one foot and then the other is lifted by the helpers. NO MATCH FOR MICHIGAN

STANFORD UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL TEA3I DEFEATED, 1 TO O. Californlnns Seemed to Know Little About the Game and Were Outclassed at Every Point. PASADENA, Cal., Jan. l.-By the decisive score of 43 to 0 the Michigan University football team to-day defeated Stanford University. Michigan's superior knowledge ot the game showed at every ploy. At kicking, general team work, running, tackling and bucking the line the Michigan men excelled. Perhaps the strongest feature of their playing was the phenomenal punting by Sweeley, Michigan's right end. In every exchange of punts Stanford lost ground, which she could not regain. In the first half, however, Stanford showed well for the first twenty minutes. Clark, Stanford's left end, was disabled In a fierce scrimmage and was replaced by Preston. Michigan's star full back, Snow, scored the first touchdown and Shorts kicked goal. Score: Michigan, C; Stanford, 0. Three times in the first half Michigan succeeded in sending a man over the line, only once failing to add a goal. The first half ended with the score: Michigan, 17; Stanford. 0. The second half was an exhibition of fast football. Michigan went at their opponents with all the knowledge of the game and the weight of their players. Again and agafn Snow, for Michigan, went over the line for touchdowns and Snorts kicked goal until 49 points had been scored. For Michigan the brightest star in her ranks was Snow at full back, though he scarcely eclipsed Sweeley and Hernsteln. Traeger, for Stanford, played a brilliant game, his tackling being one of the features. The day was perfect, though possibly a trifle warm for football. The field upon which the teams met was as smooth as a fioor but very dusty. The crowd numbered about 7,009. The teams lined up as follows: Michigan. Positions. Stanford. Reden Left end ..Clark, lYeston White (Capt.)... Left tackle Traeger McGugin Left guard Roosevelt Gregory Center Lee Wilson Right guard ....Thompson Shorts Right tackle McFadden Sweeley Right end Cooper Hernstein Right half ..Fisher (Capt.)

The score of the six leaders is G07 miles 2 laps for the thirty hours. One team withdrew through injuries to Carnl, the Worcester man, who is hardly yet a seasoned professional.

"All these Christmas charities remind one of a very funny experience 1 had once in New York," said Mrs. Porter Paddock, the soprano, the other day. "I had gone down to the Five Points mission with a number of other artists to sing at a charity concert and we had all of us dressed for the occasion quite as though it had been held on upper Fifth avenue. At the close of the programme a small girl of perhaps twelve years came up to me and in mingled embarrassment and what at the time 1 took to be enthusiasm said: I liked your song best of all.' Of course I was pleased. I thought of what the critics call "the spontaneous tribute of the people,' and I think I, too, was a little embarrassed as I asked why. " Oh, 'cause you had the sparkllest rings,' was my answer. And, do you know, I think of all my experiences I shall remember that one longest." KiplliiK and the Baby Lion. Ladies' Home Journal. He kept himself to himself more and more as he grew older, and one day I shall never forget It he began to see out of his eyes. Up to then they had been all dull and stupid just like a young baby's eves. But that day I saw them first under "my couch they were grown-up lion's evessoft and blazing at the same time, without a wink in them, eyes that seemed to look right through you, and out over all Africa. Tho.ugh he had been born in captivity, like Alice, his mummy, and Induna, his father, and though the only home he had ever known was on the slopes of the big mountain where Africa ended, we never once saw him look up the hill when he lay down to do his solemn serious thinking. He always faced squarely to the north, to the grrat open plains and the ragged, jagged mountains beyond them looking up and into the big. sunny, dry Africa that had once belonged to his people. r She Had the Ideu.

MR. WATKINS IS HAPPY

HE THINKS THE YEAH 11MJ2 WILL BE "GOOD TO HIM. Fine Prospects for the Success of the American Association Review of Kansas City Meeting. W. II. Watkins and Charles Ruschaupt returned yesterday from the Kansas City meeting of the American Association. When President Watkins was seen at his office In the afternoon and the sporting editor of the Journal wished him a Happy New Year, he was in a very good humor and said he had reasons to believe that L?J would be a very happy year for him. "The American Association looks very good to us." said President Watkins. "and we have every reason to believe mat It will be a winner. Those who attended the Kansas City meeting, and all of the cities were represented, are of opinion that the American Association is comprised of cities that will liberally support basebalL We do not expect to have a losing city in the entire organization. The Omaha matter was settled, and that city will be in the circuit, as previously announced. Milwaukee men hold a big block of the stock, but there are also Omaha men interested in the club, which will give us prestige In that city. I predict that if Rourke is foolish enough to insist upon placing a Western League club In Omaha he will be more than willing to get out before the season is sir weeks old. The men behind the club In Omaha are Influential and will have the support of the baseball enthusiasts of that city. They will immediately begin the erection of a park In that city. "President Whitfield, of the Western League, tried to influence sentiment In his favor during our meeting in Kansas City by flashing a telegram which he claimed he received from Gross, of Milwaukee, stating that the lease for the Milwaukee ball park in behalf of the Western League had been forwarded to him (Whitfield.) I received a telegram from Mr. Havenor. who Is interested with Mr. Quin in the Milwaukee American Association club, denying Whitfield's assertions and saying there had been no lease made by CJross to the Western League. Quin and Havenor are going right along with their plans, and say they will have one of the best parks in the country. "The American Association as it now stands is in better condition than the American Lragup was in Part of the clubs. especially Columbus, Kansas City and Indianapolis, have practically signed all their players and will be ready to start the season in first-class condition. I might say that all of the clubs are well financed, while in the American League In lix there were two clubs that had practically little backing. We predict a very successful season In Indianapolis, and we will try and give this city a winning club." Mr. Bryce, the Columbus magnate, accompanied by Columbus newspaper men returning from the Kansas City meeting, stepped in Indianapolis yesterday morning; and inspected the ball park. Mr. Bryce says he will make several improvements at the Columbus park, and will make hia plant the best that Columbus ever enjoyed. Ho is also very enthusiastic over the prospects for the coming season, and with Mr. Watkins offered the statement that he did not believe tho Western League would writer any of the cities now occupied by the American Association. Sill. IIRISH'S CAtSTIC LETTER. He Will Give Cincinnati Some Attention Very Shortly. John T. Brush has signified his Intention of moving his guns closer to the Feat of action at Cincinnati and will soon take a more active interest In the question that has been absorbing the attention of Cincinnati people the proposed change In the administration of the Cincinnati club. In a leter to a Cincinnati paper he said: "I will be very busy for a day or two, and then I expect to come to Cincinnati if I have anything left to come for. If In tho meantime the grand stand should be carted away or the Vestern avenue grounds taken up and moved to some other spot, and the interests of which I am supposed to be possessed exist only in the imagination, then 1 might find it unnecessary to visit there. I have maintained silence because I have felt that the baseball public could separate wheat from the chaff. I expect, however, soon to pay some attention to statements which have been built upon foundations that contained an atom of truth and the remainder mixed with a macs of innuendoes and falsehoods." Judge Howard Ferris, who is at the hea,l of Cincinnalians who desire to purchase the Cincinnati club, is quoted as faying that the stories to the effect that he intended to freeze or squeeze Mr. Brush out of Cincinnati were untrue. He said the gentlemen interested with him want to buv and hope Mr. Brush will tell. He added that unless he and Mr. Brush can meet and discuss the proposition as business m-n he would count love's labor lost. He claimed that one man desired to finance the club and there would be no room for small stockholders. NEW YEAR HANDICAP. Lord Qnex Outclassed Ills Field and Easily Won the Prize. NEW ORLEANS, Jan.
