OIL OPERATIONS AT MGERSTOM GREAT ' DEAL OF EXCITEMENT THERE AT PRESENT RIv'AL COMPANIES Are Leasing Land and Making Ready for Systematic Well Drillings Operations Active. Operations in oil have grown active near Hagerstown during the last few lays. Rival companies have agents in the field engaged in securing leases on land wherever they can be obtain ed. The Cambridge City Oil company nas contracted for a well to be drilled on land owned by Allen W. Pierce, just east of the corporation line. Every acre of land available has been covered by leases to this company. Its operations will be as extensive as developments will warrant. Operators from the developed oil fields are engaged in drilling a well near the village of Dalton. Drilling rigs are coming in as rapidly as possible. Indications are that the Hagerstown ,will become an importand producing field in the near future. There is considerable excitement! there and companies are being organ ized. "The 'oil fever '. has struck Hagers town for good," said a Hagerstown man yesterday to a Palladium repre sentative, "and it seems to have caught almost everyone. The oil excitement at Knightstown, Newcastle and other surrounding towns, together with the interest aroused by the oil companies that have been organized in Richmond, has struck Hagerstown good and hard, and everybody is talk-, ing about oil. The field is a good one and the developments should warrant big expenditures. A great deal of the land has been covered by leases and wells will be drilled as .soon as pos sible, as many drills are being brought in every day. The 'big guns ' of the oil belt' are beginning to take notice f TT i- xi t 1' 1- t 1 tu. aM wn opeiauoiis, wmcu irom , me present standpoint, will be suecessful. The usual number of wild : dreams of fortunes in a minute from oil are being dreamed by almost all the farmers around." FIGHT WITH GOBS Serious Artillery Engagement Marks the Paraguayan Rebellion. Buenos Ayres, Aug. 22. An artillery engagement has been fought between the San Jocomimo battery of the Par' aguayan army and a body of revolutionists, in which the latter succeeded in dislodging the guns of the government force. The losses on either side are not stated. There has been no bombardment of Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay, since last reports. The Insurgents have established a provisional government, with the capital at Villa del Pilar (112 miles from Asuncion), and have nominated General Ferrerira their leader for president and Gonzales Novoro for vice president. Four secretaries also have been named. One of these, Deputy Soler, has started for Rio Janeiro and other capitals to endeavor to secure the recognition of the revolutionists as belliger ents by the various governments. This is taken to indicate that rapid opera-j tions by the insurgents have been im - peded through the non-bombardment of the capital owing to the intervention of the diplomatic corps at Asuncion Dej?pair is. felt in the capital

The arrival of the Argentine gunboat which was dispatched last week for the scene cf the trouble has not been reported, and a torpedo boat destroyer has been sent In search of the missing vessel.

Looking "for Big'Strike. Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 22. President T. J. Smith of District 19, United Mine Workers of America, has left for Indianapolis to attend a meeting of the national executive board on Tuesday. Firmly believing that no compromise will be reached In this district and that a general strike will occur on Sept. 1, President Smith will ask for a weekly allowance of $25,000 for the district duriDg the progress of the strike. There are 8.000 union miners in the district, and they believe they can take 4.000 non-union men o'lt with them. If this is true the allowance means that each family wid receive about $2 per week. SDLTAH'S PLEDGE The Porte Was Not Looking for This Turn in Affairs. Constantinople, Aug. 22. A note from American Minister Leishman dated Aug. 16 was handed to the Turkish authorities within twelve hours after the receipt by the minister of the Turkish note of Monday. In this note Mr. Leishman holds the covernment to its solemn undertaking, coming direct from the sultan, respecting equal treatment with other nations for the United States, concerning the question of educational institutions. This allusion to the imperial pledge apparently embarrassed the porte, which had previously announced that It would ignore the formal verbal assurances which Minister Leishman declared he had received. It is considered improbable that the porte will reply to the minister's note and, therefore, the question is looked upon as shelved pending the execution of the process of recognition, when, it is considered not improbable, fresh difficulties will arise. Notwithstanding the assertion by Izzet Pasha, the secretary of the palace, that $25,000 had been deposited as compensation due to an American citizen at Smyrna for land illegally taken, no such deposit has yet been made.

TROUBLE WAR DOG PREVENTED PROBABLE ROW AT SHANGHAI SLIPPED BETWEENTHEM When a Japanese Vessel Steamed Up to Disabled Russian Cruiser a Fight Looked Likely. Chefoo, Aug. 22. The Japanese have swept the Russians from Pigeon bay and captured the northernmost fort of the western line of inner defenses at Port Arthur. The Russian artillery prevents the Japanese from occupying the fort on Pigeon bay. Chefoo, Aug. 22. Information from Port Arthur up to Aug. 18 shows that the besiegers hae been reinforced by thirty regiments from General Oku's army. A general assault is expected to be made upon the fortress today. Shanghai, Aug. 22. Shanghai was thrown into a fever of excitement Sun day afternoon by the arrival of a Japanese torpedo boat which was sighted coming m irom the south at 4:30 o'clock. She passed Woosung at full speed and started up the River Ju for Shanghai. The United States torpedo boat destroyer Chauncey slipped her cable and followed the Jap vessels. The Japanese boat was cleared for action. She anchored off the Cosmopolitan dock, where the Russian cruiser Askold is undergoing repairs. The Chauncey came to anchor practically between the dock and the Japanese destroyer. Tokio, Aug. 22. After a severe engagement with the protected cruisers Chitose and Tsushima, the greyhounds of the Japanese navy, the fleet Russian cruiser has been vanquished. The fight occurred Sunday. After it the Novik in a sinking condition was run ashore in Korsakovsk harbor on the Island of Sakhalien. The details of the fight are not known here, but it is evident that the Chitose and Tsushima caught up with the Novik Saturday and that a running fight ensued. The contest was resumed and terminated early Sunday morning. Captain Sukeichiro Takahashl, who is in eommanad of the Chitose, reported the engagement in a brief telegram which reached the navy department here Sunday afternoon. He says he first attacked the Russian cruiser Saturday afternoon and that j on Sunday morning he inflicted heavy damage upon her. The Novik nearly sank, but she was beached at Korsakovsk. The fate of the crew of the Novik Is not known, but it Is thought they abandoned their vessel and landed at Korsakovsk. The news of the destruction of the Novik has been received in a curious manner by the Japanese public. From a political standpoint it is highly satistactory, for the Novik could have been most dangerous as a commerce destroyer; but, considering the matter from a sentimental standpoint, much regret is expressed at the loss. The Novik has been splendidly handled and bravely fought throughout the war, and Japanese naval officers and the public generally have frequently expressed admiration for the cruiser, her commander and her crew. St. Petersburg, Aug. 22. The latest reports from Port Arthur Indicate that the garrison tnere is holding out with wonderful tenacity in the face of persistent desperate assaults. The only question is how lonff any body of troops can withstand such awful punishment and whether the garrison in the fortress can outlast the Japanese ammunition and men. The report that thirty regiments have been drawn from General Oku to strengthen the attackers is believed to indicate that the Japanese southern army is In desperate straits and seems to show that the Japanese have not enough men to prosecute simultaneous campaigns of great magnitude in th? north and south

The report that, the cruiser Novllc has be.en,sunk has not yet been published here. If it is true it 'will be greatly felt,, for the gallant "cruiser, which has been frequently mentioned In dispatches, has endeared herself to the whole nation by her tireless activity at Port Arthur, and it has been greatly hoped that she would reach Vladivostok In safety. The attitude of the Japanese government in regard to China causes increasing uneasiness her. While it is believed that the dictatorial attitude assumed by Japan was adopted largely ror its moral influence upon the Chinese, it is also taken to indicate that Japanese plans to make herself the dominant Influence In the celestial emDire. Shanghai, August 22. Rear Admiral Sterlang says the trip of the American torpedo boat Chauncey to Shanghai yesterday was to carry dispatches and had nothing whatever to do with the arrival of the Japanese torpedo boat destroyers. Shanghai, August 22. A meeting of foreign consuls today resulted in. the preparation of a statement of established facts regarding the Russian warships Askold and Grozovoi. Russian authorities show a disinclination to reconsider their refusal to comply with China's demand, that ships leave or disarm. Che Foo, August 22. It is asserted in reliable quarters that the Japanese received reinforcements from the north of thirty thousand. The steamer arriving from New Chwang this morning reports heavy firing and rocket signaling at Louise and Pigeon Bays last night. People gt tired of one thinj.

The call issued by the Receivers 'and Shippers' Association for a meeting, on Change to consider the daylight switching and the C, L. and N. franchise ordinance drew a large and represenative meeting of various shipping intesests yesterday, not only of members of the association, but of other shippers and members of the Chamber of Commerce It was prefaced by the distribution of a circular of protest against the daylight ordinance signed by interested. Front street commission merchants representing divers lines of trade occupying property between Main street and the suspension bridge. It is urged that such an ordinance would operate against the river interests; that firms doing business north of Front street would be. continually r annoyed by blockades that would delay delivery at the landing and that it would practical'.)' destroy the business of the produce commission mer chants who have been located there for the past 30 3 ears. Attention was called to the fact that a similar ordinance has been introduced in Council four times in the last 10 years by Pennsylvania Railroad influenc-s and as many times defeated, and urged that "It is not a necessity as it was in T3, when the privilege for .1 connection track was granted the Little Miamo, and the Cincinnati & Indianapolis Railroad Companies, for we d'A not have the bridge, but now ill the carload sales that are .made by the Produce me t t points north an I west that are already in the East End yards can be transferred during the day via the bridges (L. and N. and C. & O.) or vica-versa.
