The lone-delayed yaswers of the Secretary of the Navy to th hree Congressional resolutions call jnr information in regard to the steel ,. .a in naval construction were sent to the apitol during the last honrs of Congress, vhen in the great rush of business they escaped general notice. Two of tbe resolu tions were from the Senate, and called for information in regard to the alleged at tempts to defraud the Government at the Linden Steel "Works, Pittsburg, and the Standard Steel Casting Company, of Thur low. Pa. The House resolution called for information about the use oi foreign ores by the Bethlehem company. The replies to the two Senate resolutions are virtually official confirmations of tbe statements printed in the newspapers at the time of the alleged frauds. In reply to the inquiry as to the truth of the reports of false or counterfeit stamping of test pieces of 6teel plates made by the Linden Steel "Works, of Pittsburr. the Secretary says the attempt to use a counterfeit stamp was not successful, and that in all nrobability no previous attempt to use a counterfeit stamp had been made, but that the percentage of the Linden Steel Company's deliveries re jected I'nce the discovery of the counterfeit t3jip was materially greater than the per J?itage rejected prior to that date. Stole the In-pector's Stamp. Together with some suspicious circum stances regarding the opening of the desk in which the Inspector kept his indcntification stamp, led to tbe conclusion that the true private identific-ition stamp of the Inspec tor bad been J rauduleuth usid to pass material prior to July 1. Th department has requested the Department of Justice to institute criminal proceedinss agams Clerk Hall, who is alleged to haTe stolen and used the inspection officer's stamp. In justice to the Linden Company, the Secretary say& he deems it prnner to state that be lias The assurance of the ofliccrs.of the com pany that they had no knowledge of the fraud ulent practiced or supposed fraudulent prac tices prior to the discover of the Government inspection officer. As to the second Senate resolution concern ing tbe alleged defects in castings made by tbe btandard Steel Casting Comnan. of Thurlow. Pa., the Secretary submits a bulky report made ' Dy a noard appointed to investigate thciunject. In this report the board states tbat a number of the castings furnished by tbe Standard Com pany had defects which bad been concealed by caulking or tj hauimerin;; over. Tlice were all rejected, although the company protested stronglj against sucu action. Un account ot this protest a second board was appointed vbich sustained tbe report of its predecessor. The becretarj expresses no opinion as to tho responsibility for the defective castings. 1 be House resolution called tor information as to whether tbe Bethlehem Iron Companj, of South Bethlehem, Pa., was using in the manu facture of steel forges for the Government ores imported from the inland of Cuba or any other foreign couutrj, and w netber it is not practica ble to find in the United States ores suitable in qualm or sufficient lu quantit) for the nianu tacture of such Ftpcl as that tbe company had agreed to furnish, and if it was true that that compan was uing such foreign ores to report the reason thej gave therefor. Didn't Care to Experiment. In his reply to this resolution the Secretary Says tbe department construes the require ment of the law of March 3, 1SS7, that all ma terial used in naval structures and armament shall be so far as pos-ible of American produc tion asnell as manufacture, as appling only to the armored coast defense vessel .Monterey, wtnch was authorized by that act. The Beth lehem Compan reported to the department that it used no Cuban ore m any way in the manufacture of open-hearth steel, but it did use other foreign ores in connection with do mestic ores for making Ioh phosphorous melt ing bars, which cn.cr into the open-hearth steel mixture. As to the inquiry whether it would not be practicable to fiud suitable ores in the United States for the man ufacture of such steel, the company replied that they hau not given the matter sufficient lnvtstigatiou to diterniinc. 1 he materials u-cd by them when their contract was made and for which they made provision for the whole period covered by taeir contract, bad proved suitable, and they would hctitate to risk tbe 2os of time or of lailure to secure the required qualities which investigation or experiment Inigbt impose. Tbe prosecution of Ball has not progressed ,erj rapidly. Tho Attorney Jcneral sent a letter of instructions to the Distuct Attorney at Pittsburg. October 2, and a preliminary re port was secured December 10. since when nothing has been done. LlGHTXEK. GOVERNOR HILL IS FIRM. A SECOND TIME HE EEFUSES TO HOKOE A EE0.TJISITI0N. In a Long Letter Tie Gives His Reasons for Not Recognizing Itulkeley as Governor of Connecticut lie Declares Rolkeley a Usurper, Not Even a De Facto. Albany", March 5. A requisition was presented to Governor Hill to-day, signed by Morgan G. Bulkeley, Governor, for the return of John T. Colbert, accused of horse theft committed at Danbury, Conn., Febru ary 24, 1691, and now held in the jail at Carmel, X. Y. Governor Hill again re fused to honor Mr. Bulkcley's signature as Governor, on the ground that Bulkeley was not th proper executive authority to issue the writ. With his refusal Governor Hill hied a long opinion. Governor H ill, in his opinion, declines "to recognize a person as Governor who was neither elected as such by the people nor has any legal or equitable title to the office, and who is not recognized as Governor bv the highest Legis lative body of bis own State." He says he can not he expected to afford Bulkeley the recogni tion he is unable to secure in his own State. "Mr. Bulkeley is a mere usurper, and as such has no claim to be considered a Governor de facto. A fact of mere usurpation, done with out color of authority and under the circum stances conceded to exist in Connecticut, does not make an individual an official de iacto." Governor Hill then cities nuuierous decisions npon this subject, and states that be has con cluded to ref u-c all requisitions coming from 31 r. Bulkeley under the present condition of affairs In Connecticut. When requisition papers are presented to the Executive he must judge of their authority, validity and suf ficiency. If be rejects thein lor any reason, he exercises a discretion which is noticmediable by any court. If there is a dispute as to tbe Governorship of tbe State, anil more than one person claims the right in buch State to exer cise the Executive functlon.be is called upon to determine whom he will recognize. He refers to the recent contest for the Gov ernor's seat in Nebraska, and said: llad a riquuitiiin at that tune been presented to ine from one of the persons thus cHiming the right to the office, it would have been mv plain dutj to decide which claimant to theeffice I would recognize. The responsibility of the proper determination of such question is one wbich is imposed upon me bv the Constitution and laws ot the land, which I am not disposed to evade, and which I could not, it I would, cast upon another. I would gladlv honor a requisition for the surrender of a fugitive from justice coming from the lawful Executive au ilionty if t oniKC.icut. If tor any reason tho lawful Executive authority of tl-a .State is at present ponerles-. to exerci-c its primer func tions, it is a public misfortune which would, however, afford no justification to me should 1 give official recognition to one who unlaw fully claims the right to exercise such author ity."

There is little question but what the com ing season will witness a large volume of operations in the expansive "West Virginia field. Some of the most prominent and long-experienced operators in the production of petroleum have implicit confidence in the future greatness of the territory. Among those who have been converted to this idea are the memDers of a branch of tbe Standard Oil Company, whose possessions. in the Old Do minion extend for hundreds of miles ana em brace many thousand acres of territory. They are deeply imbued with the theory that as tho oil and gas of the Pennsylvania fields are grad ually declining in their developments on a southwest line, that West Virginia's greatness is destined to come forth at no remote period. The company shares the opinion of other practi cal croduchrs that the chances of opening an other field surpassing in magnitude both in area of territory and production the once famed Bradford are by no means among tbe im possibilities. Many other practical operators, however, -do not concur in this rosy view of a great Oildorado in Virginia, and upon the whole tbe fraternity are aDout as oiviaea in their estimation upon the value of this terri tory as they were upon the ments of the Bur dickbilL it is said that the Standard, which during the winter made extensive acquisitions in Monon galia county, contemplate a largo amount of work as soon as the roads and weather will permit, and tbat during the next 12 niontbs will expend bundreds of thousands of dollars in developing the caloric and oleaginous resources of this section of the State. It is reported that this company at an early date will organize a competent corps of engi neers and survey the country through the fetate to the Big Ivanawba river on a 45 line. It is also rumored that the Standard will soon build a pipe line from Washington, Pa., to the big pumping station at Morgantown and in addition will construct 30,000 barrels more tank age during the season at Morgantown. The newmnc-inch line con vejing tho oil from the Monongalia field has just been finished. George P. HukilL of Oil city, jS how drilling a wildcat well in Kanawlia county.up Elk Run, about 20 miles northeast from Charleston on Little Sandy Creek. Mr. llukill has secured 16,000 acres of territory here and Ib strong in his faith that be will find a prolific Big Injun land at a depth or 2.000 feet. This well will be completed in two or three weeks, and is looked upon as one of the most important ex perimental w ells drilling in the State. The developments at Mannington are also increasing, while the production is gradually rolling up. The average contractor experiences les trouble 'now in getting a well down than when tho Held was first opened up, and tbe number of fishing jobs is not near so numer ous. The volume of oneratlons in this field will also be greatly augmented the coming sum mer, and an era of activity and prosperity will be witnessed tbat came this way before. The Standard are not the only operators in this field who intend doing business on an extensive scale. Burt Brothers have Just received tbe irons for 15 new rig, and have already begun the erection of a number of rigs. Tbe Mountain State Oil Company, in the Mount Morns field, are preparing to do a large amount of work. Ihe Dispatch scout was informed to-day by a member of this company tbat they had two wells drilling, one on the Cordav farm and the other in the Tretty, wbich would be done next week.
