Nnv.l Authorities Indignant.

WASHINGTON, September l2.-CommO
dore English, Acting Secretary OF the Navy,
last night received the following telegram
from Lieutenant Commander Welch at
Pensacola:
Naval forces convalescent. VIII issue
rations tomorrow to destitute OF reserve.
Governor Bloxham has never noticed my
telegram TO him, sent as AUTHORIZED by
Department.
Great indignation is felt at the Navy De-
partment al the course pursued by the
State authorities OF Florida, in not paying
any attention to the necessity OF caring for
the destitute on the reservation at Pensa.
cola, even when appealed TO by the naval
authorities.
Commodore Euglish says in regard to
the matter that the absolute indifference
OF the State authorities shows almost
lack OF humanity when II is considered
that the residents reserve is in no way
connected with the Navy, but should be
an especial call OF the State, which II un-
willing or unable TO prevent their starving,
could Of least help them by an appeal for
public assistance. He says, further, that
The publications intimating lack OF hu.
nauitv on the part OF the Navy Depart
mpnt are entirely uncalled for; that the
department called the attention OF the
State officials 10 the condition OF affairs,
and when no action was taken ny them,
the Department authorized the distribu.
ton Of rations from Government supplies.
1t Is the impression that the indifference
shown arises from pique, because OF the
closing Of the Pensacola Navy Yard.

A CORNER IN NATURAL GAS.
Dc, Hostetter's Big scheme Now Oh
Foot In Pittsburgh.

-
Foot In Pittsburgh.
PrTTsBURGH, September 12.-There Is q
big scheme on hand 10 monopolizs the
natural and artificial gas Of Pittsburgh,
Allegheny and the surrounding country.
In these days of progress necessities are
apt to become centralized, and so it is with
gas. DR.. Hostetter is the coming gas king
of Allegheny county, if his projects turn
out all right. It's public secret that the
doctor now has control of the stock Of
the Pittsburgh Gas Company and the
Consolidated Gas Company, although upon
the books of the latter it does not appear
so. 1t has been known for some time
past that the Doctor has been buying all
the stock Of the Allegheny Gas Company
which could be bought, until now it has
become q very scarce article in the stock
market. This disposes of the three prin-
cipal vendors of coal gas, with the Doctor
in possession Of two and working hard for
the possession Of the tAird. The Pitts.
burgh East End Gas Company, which
now supplies the city OF Pittsburgh with
gas, is another object of the Doctors
ambition, and negotiations have been
going on fbr some time past for its con-
troll.
The great object of the Doctors at present,
according to one of the largest consumers
of natural gas in the county, is to control
the principal natural gas fuel companies:
At present the Penn Fuel Company and
the Fuel Gas Company are warning for the
possession Of the supply from the Murrays-
vile district but this warfare is likely to
come to an early end. The Doctor is the
controlling spirit in the Fuel Gas Company
and is making every effort to control the
Penn Gas Company. Negotiations are now
in progress which will place it in his hands.
Another minor company is also likely to
pass into his hands, which will include
about all of the natural fuel companies
which show any signs OF life at present.

Bishop Turxs Breaks Down Again.

ALTOONA, September l2.-The right Rev.
John Tuigg, Bishop of the Catholic diocese
of Pittsburgh and Administrator OF the
diocese of Allegheny, is lying at the par
sonsge of St. Johns Church, in this city,
in a very crit cal condition. The Bishop
came to this city several weeks ago suffer
ing from the effects of stroke of parsly-
sis, but his improvement was so steady
and marked that he had
hoped he would recover entirely.
on Monday he felt stronger than he had
for several days, and toward evening he
took Il short drive, accompanied by the
pastor of st. Johns Church aud an attend
ant. While on the road he began to ex-
perience a queer feeling in the head, and
asked to be driven back. On arriving at
the parsonage his vision left him, aud al
most Immediately he was seized with con-
vulsions, in which he remained nearly an
hour. He recovered afterward, and is
somewhat better now, though his condi-
ton is such that he can hardly be expected
to survive long.

Sr. PAUL, MINK, September l2.-It is ru-
mored here that the Minneapolis and st.
Louis railroad will in short time consJli-
date with the Chicago and Rock Island
railroad. The rumor goes that the consoli.
dation will be made by an exchange OF
stock.
CHICAGO, September 12.-Excitement is
caused by the announcement by the Wa
bash of reduction in passenger rates be.
tween Chicago and Council Bluffs. The old
rate one way was $l4 So and the cut was
made to $3.50. The reduction was the out
growth OF authentic rumors that the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul had been
paying S. commission on all tickets
sold by outside agents. Said Wabash
official: I'VE propose to give the
public the benefit of the reduction in
stead of putting it into the pockets of the
Milwaukee and st. Paul people, who
averred that the Wabash was unable to get
traffic to Council Bluffs in legitimate way,
and resorted to this subterfuge to try to
drum up business. 1t is probable that
murderous slashing of rates will follow,

SIRde and Mitchell Must Fight october
23. or the Stakes are Forfeited.
New York, September l2-Early last
evening throng OF sporting men BEGAN to
gather at Harry Hills. Jem Mace, Slade,
Henry J. Rice Harry Montague, Dooney
Harris, and scores besides were on hand al
10 o'clock, aud many were Obliged to turn
away. The cause OF the excitement was
be runner that Billy Madden aud Mitchell
would arrive from the West on the 10
O'Clock train over the Pennsylvania road.
That hour passed, but no word from them
was received.

the blowing telegram to Madden, a. Kan.
sas Cily:

failing TO appear in the ring between eight
and twelve O. clock in the morning TO for
felt the battle money. Nothing can after
my decision. as act only in fairness to
both parties and the sporting public; publ Hu,
Mr.. Hill afterward wrote the substance
of the telegram in letter to Madden at
Kansas City. A postscript read
Now you understand what to do. My lie.
cision is final, Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary either from Slade or your
selves.
Sade was dressed in light.colored cut
away coat, with trousers and vest OF the
same cloth. His high bo X hat and gold
headed cane made him appear more Il ke
dandy than a pugilist. He has gained
about quarter OF hundred weight, and
now weighs 2l5 pounds. At lis o'clock
last night no answer to Mr.. Hills telegram
had been received from Madden or Mitch
ell. Harry Hill then mounted the stage
and announced his decision. His remarks
were cheered in very demonstrative
manner.
Afterwards Mr.. Hill repeated to his
friends that on the day he has named he
will 90 to New Orleans, and in case either
OF the puglists does not come there he
will hand 10 the one who is there the five
