Therein Lies a Fine Opening for Blaine's
Reciprocity Plan
TO LARGELY BENEFIT THIS COOTUr
rsHECiAi, connrsroxPEscE or the dispatch.
Brnxos Aykes, Argentine Republic,
May 0. Those who suppose that the finan
cial panic 'which swamped the Barings is
over nre very much mistaken. The general
opinion among business and professional
men throughout Argentine is that the colos
sal failure of the great bankers in EnjZaad
was but a rnmble of thunder preceding the
storm. The storm itt-elf will burst upon
this unfortunate nation with irresistible
fury, if present indications count anything,
and for these reasons:
Kvcry available piece of property in the
Argentine is mortgaged mortgaged to the
hilt. AVhat w as done with the money ob
tained from these mortgages is a matter of
interest and importance, perhaps, but the
fact remains that almost every man and
woman In every station of life, resident in
ihe Argentine Republic, is to-day practi
cally poverty-stricken. Extensions of time
bare been granted again and again, but it is
s-jife to say that the great majority of exten
sions have run ont already. "WTiat will be
done in the immediate future, what can be
done, rhat must be done these are the
topics completely engrossing national atten
tion. One thing is certain; there is no
money here, and the European bankers will
noi send any great sums unlee compelled so
o do by force almost superhuman. Xobody
knous what is coming: confidence in men
and business is utterlydestroyed: commerce
i .it a standstill, and this feeling of inse
curity has permeated the school, the church,
and society itself.
A Splendid Chance for Iterlprocity.
The Argentine Hepublie possesses latent
wealth in enormous quantities, and its de
velopment had but a beginning when the
financial crah came. At that time its
products were going to benefit the people in
tireat Britain, Germany, Italy, and, to a
-mailer degree, thoe in France and Spain.
ith its high tariff laws the United States
cap do nothing as far as this countay is con
cerned. Give us reciprocity and a desper
ite chance remains for a syndicate of finan
ciers in the United States to come down
here with practically unlimited capital and
iseue this nation and make it one of the
rreatest tributaries the United States could
possibly gain. This could be done, but it
would require most skillful financial en
gineering, for the Argentines would borrow
any amount that they could lay their hands
on from the United States, and then it
v nulil be scattered to the winds.
The onlv safe way would be for Ameri
eitis to bring their money here and insist
upon taking complete charge of the desper
ated crippled finances of the nation, Many
well-informed men do not believe that
American bankers would be allowed to as
Miine complete control, fr the Argentines
an an exceedingly proud race and nothing
bin the certainty of absolute ruin would in
jure them to grant outsiders control. But
ihe laet exists that ruin actually stares
these haughty people in the face. They
must be rescued or lose the civilization so
tar obtained. Already martial law exists,
ami. unless succor is given, there will un
doubtedly ensue lawlessness, perhaps revo
lution and anarchy. It is absurd to iin
atrine that the present condition of affairs
can exist forever.
Looking to the United States.
Since the revolution in .Tuly, when
.luarez Coleman was forced to resign, Peli
grini, the Vice President, has been Presi
dent, but his term will end on May next.
He is a man of undoubted ability, and con
siderable Anglo-Saxon blood flows in his
M'liis. In fact he was related to John
Bright. The people of which he is the
chief macistrate would compare very favora
bh as tar as intelligence goes with the ordi
narv class in the United States. Although
they v ill not admit it openly.because ot their
pride, yet it i a fact that they naturally
look to the United States as an example in
eierything but import duties. The Argen
tines have adopted the form of government
and the normal school system existing in
the I'nited States, and therein lies the
principal hope for a brilliant future for
this land of undeveloped resources,
t Tlurtj or 40 years ago the United States
was far better represented here than it is
to-day. And to-day the only cause for the
hatred held by the Argentines toward the
1. mted States is the tariff system. Give the
Argentines reciprocity by removing this
and the United States, with no difficulty
w hatever, can obtain commercial supremacy.
It is safe to say that those who have studied
(secretary Blaine's plan consider it one of
tin greatest feats of American statesman
ship. But it is very doubtful whether free
reciprocity will ever be put into execution.
Take the wool industry, for example. The
Argentine Kepublio can send practically un
limited quantities of wool into the United
iMaies. but then the wool growers in the
States would not permit this; although Ar
gentine wool can be landod in New York
una i'nilaaelpnia at mucli less cost than
that grown west of the Mississippi, for in
stance. England Heaps the Benefit.
The United States now get about all of a
ci rtain class of Argentine wool, which is
used in the manufacturing of carpets, but
marly all of the product in general goes to
Lugland, as do the three other principal
product, taUow, hides, cattle. A magnifi
cent trade in these has already been devel
oped, and it is constantly increasing. To
England the Argentine Republic ships
enormous quantities of cattle and undersells
that of the United States. "Western cattle
and beef hat e to be transported to the At
lantic coast by rail, but this land is so fortu
nately situated that ships can go up the
rhcr, and into them the cattle aie driven
directly from the grazing lands. Then the
vessel starts for Liverpool.
The undeveloped mining resources of Ar
gentine, especially silver and gold, are
waiting American capital and energy. No
oai has yet been fouud in quantities suffi
leiii to pay for the mining thereof, but in
the future, when the petroleum wells of
Pennsylvania and Ohio are exhausted, the
United States can be supplied from this
euuutrv without difficulty.
Until the money crush came the railroad
sjstem was being constantly developed.
The Government has been very liberal in
the past in patronizing railways, and at one
time owned several, Cut at present it has
sold most of them. An English railway,
and a lirst-clas one, runs from Buenos
A res southward over WO miles. Another,
an American venture, runs across the con
tinent, and a third is owned partly by the
Argentines and partly by England."
Great lVork of an American.
An American contractor by the name of
Clark started s0me time ago to build a rail
ra from Buenos Ayres to the Andes, over
these great mountains aud across Chile to
the coast. Work was begun at each end of
the lim and progressed not merely to the
loot ot the Andes, but from 1,000 to 2,000
feet up each side of tlnr mountains. Then
'lark failed and the work was stopped.
moriean cars and English railway coaches
are lioth used, and Baldwin locomotives are
olten seen.
The River dc la Platte, 30 miles wide at
Buenos Ayres, was not deep enough orig
inally for ocean steamers. But years ago a
genius named Madro originated and exe
cuted a scheme by which five or six basins of
Mater were constructed at the city front.
He worked for many years to obtain conces
sions from the Government, and as a result
at present, ."X) steamers arc coming and going
every mouth to Germany, England, Italy
and Spain, and not one to or from the United
'" ""iu urcwfuui uus place xo
New York the traveler takes an English
steamer ns far as Rio de Janiero, and there
embarks m an American vessel, which pro
ceeds up the coast to New York City. The
time consumed in this voyage is 40 or 50
days, and as a result most people go from
here to Liverpool, nnd then cross, in 35
davs.
The streets in Buenos Ayres are very
narrow, never having been changed from
the old Moorish style. Oh them are some
of the longest tramways in the world.
Ancient civilization and modern are curi
ously jumbled here. Along these narrow
old streets one finds magnificent buildings,
those of the banks being of unsurpassed
architectural beauty. And, by the way, the
amount of capital originally employed in
the Provincial Bank is said to have been
larger than that of anv other bank of the
world. But this bank: and the National
were pretty nearly swamped when the panic
came, ivitnougn tney aid not go under,
they are having a hard struggle for existence.
Religion, Sport and Music
The Roman Catholic is the national re
ligion, but of course other churches are
here in a mora, or less flourishing condition.
The Argentines are very fond of the the
ater and opera, and the people are very
musical Young English residents have in
troduced cricket and baseball, which are
the favorite pastimes. One great trouble
with the Argentine law is that a man may
be in prison for two vears without having a
trial. Once in a while a man is shot for
murder, but this seldom occurs. The wom
en frequently get up huge petitions against
capital punishment, and they are often suc
cessful. No jury system exist in the
Argentine courts, and the lawyers never
argue their cases. They write out every
thing relating thereto and hand It to the
judge, who examines the papers and de
cides the cases. The penalties are severe,
but unfortunately they are not always
equally enforced.
A handful of Americans live down here
in Buenos Ayres, and while there are ex
ceptions, many of them are escaped crim
inals. AVinslow, the celebrated forger of
Host on, is one ot them, and he goes under
the name of D. AV. Law. He is the editor
of one of the finest newspapers in the
country, and a man of great ability. His
articles on the financial disturbance were
marvelous. Young Scoville, of New York,
who photographed notes and obtained a
large amount of plunder, is also here, as are
a number of others less noted.
One closing word as to the future of
Argentine. It has been rumored time and
again that England intends to come here
and take possession, just as she did of
Egypt. But nobody believes this within
reach of possibility, for while the natives
hate the United States on account of the
high tariffdiscrimination against them, vet
they believe that the Monroe doctrine
would prevail and prevent any European
power from forcibly appropriating their
country. J. B.

The Smith Farm Oil Company's No. 11, on
the Smith farm, is making from 12 to 15
barrels an hour. Kennedy & Co.'s drilling
well on Jhe P. & "W. Railroad lot is at the

had not made a showing. Both & Jennings
are spudding at their well on the Dun

feet directlyjnorth of the Hazlett No. 1, and
is one of the most important wells now
drilling in the field, as it will define the

tSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DtSPATCH.l
WH.LIA51SPOKT, Pa., June 14. A party
of gentlemen who have just returned from
a fishing excursion up Kettle Creek tell of
a startling adventure which happened a
woodsman named Ben Hurd, living in the
Black Forest, last Thursday. The region close
to where Hurd lives escaped the ravages of
the flame and smoke during the forest fires
late this spring and for that reason the
neighborhood is now infested with wild ani
mals, who sought refuge there from the
fires.
On Thursdav morning as Hurd and his
daughter, while some distance from home,
were looking after the prospects of the
huckleberry crop, they came across a bear
and her three cubs. She at once assumed
the oliensive and made for Hurd, who was
unarmed. The girl, frightened nearly out
of her wits, started forabark-peelcrs' camp,
about a quarter of a mile further up the
mountain, for help. VKen she reached the
camp, nearly exhausted by her fearful run,
she could scarcely tell the location of the
fight that was then taking place between the
man ana Dear. .a. man in tne camp named
James Callahan understood enough of the
disconnected sentences to immediately
hasten to the rescue. He picked up a bark
peeler's ax, the first thing that came to
hand, and ran through the woods with the
speed of a madman. As he neared the spot
he gave a loud cry which Hurd faintlv
answered.
Callahan was just in time, for when he
came upon them the bear had Hurd in
deadly embrace, with every bit of clothing
torn in shreds from his body. Callahan
took in the situation at a glance and dashed
at the bear with uplifted ax. The blow
caught the monster in the back and the
bear expired a few minutes after. Hurd
was so weakened from the loss of blood by
his desperate fight for life that he fell in a
swoon at the feet of the dead bear. A few
minutes thereafter several others from the
camp arrived, and between them Hurd was
patched up with enough wearing apparel to
get home, about two miles distant. The old
bear and the cubs were subsequently carried
into camp.
Hurd has almost recovered from the
effects of the fight, but his narrow esgape
from death is vividly impressed upon his
mind.

A New Pipe Lino.
It was stated last evening on good
authority that "W. L. Mellon will com
mence the construction of a refinery at
Coraopolis this week and that it will soon
be connected with the Wildwood and Mc
Curdy fields by pipe lines. They will be of
4 or 6-inch pipe. He has been canvassing
among the Wildwood producers to ascer
tain the percentage of their production he
can command when his line is completed.
From the replies he has received he ex
pects to get from one-half to two-thirds ot
the field, which would be from 3,000 to 5,000
barrels a day. He will pay the market
price for the oil and will charge outside
refiners the usual 20 cents a barrel for pipe
age. The Llnesvllle Pool.
It is claimed that a new oil pool has been
found about 14 miles from Oil City. It is
located in the immediate vicinitv of Lines
ville, Venango county. Linesvflle is very
near the edge of Clarion county, and part
of the wells have been drilled in that
county. The first well in this field was
drilled on the Albert Byers farm, and was
completed on the first dav of last May.
Since then 11 wells have been completed,
aud the daily production is about 160 bar
rels. The best well in the field is owned by
Zorb & Fasenmeyer. It is located on the
Samuel Richenbrode farm, about a half mile
northeast of Linesville. It is producing about
40 barrels a dav. At the present time there
are five w ells drilling, six rigs building and
15 locations have been made. Three wells
are located ou a single acre. When two
wells that are now drilling are completed
there will be seven wells on a tract that
does not contain ten acres. This field has
been a puzzle to the oldest operators. With
all the drilling that has been done no one
seems to have any idea in what direction
the belt runs. Considerable drilling has
been done by the Standard on the Knight
and Powell farms about two miles west of
the pool. They found no oil to speak of,
and drilled some of the wells to the gas
sand, which proved to be fair gassersj The
Standard is now drilling two wells on the
Angy farm, three-quarters of a mile north
west of the pool. This will define the belt
in that direction. Some drilling has been
done by various parties in the vicinity of
Fryburg on the east, but no oil was found.
It looks at present as though ihe belt ex
tended almost north and south.

TAXES TAKEN OCT FOOD STUFFS.
Scarcity
and Speculative Prices Force
This Measure in Pern.
Panama, June 14. The President of
Peru has issued a decree, admitting free of
duty into the republic the following arti
cles: Live sheep and cattle, dried meats,
salt beef, dried, smoked or pickled fish,
wheat and corn, potatoes, and all other
vegetables, eggs, cheese, chestnuts, peas,
beans, rice, grape seed.herbs.andhas decreed
an export dirty of 20 soles, silver, per
head on cattle exported and 2 soles per
head on sheep exported.
This action is in consequence of the
scarcity and attendant high price of food
in Peru, caused by the floods that have fol
lowed the heavy rains throughout the coun
ty, and by the enormous demands for all
forms of food caused by the war in Chile.
The export of provisions from Peru to the
armies ol the insurgents has so reduced the
stock of flour and meat, that speculators
have taken advantage of the situation, and
advanced the price of beef to 40 cents per
pound in the Lima and Callao markets,
where flour and bread are held at similar
prices.

gave out that he had committed suicide, on

yourself feel a trifle less vigorous than in the
past? Is it a fact that tho American people
are growing weaker, or is it due to some
local cause? There can be little doubt tiint
it is owing almost entirely to the fearful
after effects of tho Grip. This terrible and
mysterious complaint, starting unaccount
ably and running severely, invariably leaves
the person in a weak, nervouB and run-down
condition, from which it requires much time
to reoover.
When people are in such a state, when
nature is weak and broken, what would com
mon sense dictate should be done? Pre
cisely what physicians say should be done,
vix: Assist Nature, stimulate her lagging
faculties, build her up? How? By using a
tpure medicinal stimulant, and for this pur
pose there is nothing equal to pure whiskey.
octors, scientinc men, anu me ieuuinK
linkers of tho land have declared this and
ave unhesitatingly agreed that there is no
rhiskev so nure and efficient as Duffy's
Pure Malt. It stimulates healthily and builds
up wasted tissues. It renews the nervous
organization and assists to health. It is
popular because it is so efficient. Great care
should be taken, however, to secure only
the genuine. Distrust any dealer who for
any reason seeks to induce you to buy some
thfnir"JU8t as eood." By the judicious use
of this pure stimulant the after effects of
the Grip may be removed and health and
strength put in place of weakness and de
bility.

Saturday's Quotations.
There was practically no local oil market
last week, and as the Exchange ticker will
be removed to-day, the prospect for this
week is not very flattering. About tho best
Did of tne week was 68. Producers had nn
nttie more backbone as a result of their
movement to widen the market.
Refined closed th J week with a decline of
five points at New York and a gain of one
point at Antwerp. There were small in
creases in daily average runs, shipments
and charters, showing production and con-
they pretend
cure.There is butone permanent cure
for contagious blood poison, and that
is to be' found in i
And It is the only
medicine that will
permanently destroy the effects of;
HEBCUEL1X AKD POTASH POISONIXG.
It is a purely vegetable remedy,
entirely harmless, and yet it is the
most potent blood purifier ever
discovered.
