PITTsBURG, PA, April 25.-Prof. James
Bartlett, chemist at Yale college, and
Prof. 4. Dwight Kendall, of the New
York School OF Technology, Yesterday af-
ternoon at McKeesport, concluded a most
thorough test Of Col. McCarty's ferhydric
gas, in behalf OF the gas companies OF

j. The two professors stated that they
made a most thorough test, and the In
Venti0n proved to be the best illumi-
mating gas known. They further
stated that the fuel gas made by
the process will be formidable
competitor Of natural gas, Prof Kendall
said: "Col. McCarty has solved the prob
lem OF making hydrogen gas cheaper
than by any other process" The report
of the chemists is also intended for the
Washington gas company, and that COM
Dany has decided 10 erect at once two
plants at Washington with total ca
pacity OF 100000 cubic feet per day for the
supply Of that city. The fuel gas can be
supplied at Be. per 1,000 feet, and com
pared volume for volume with natural.
gas, the advantage in heat units Of tua
hydrogen gas is shown by the fact hi
natural gas would show 1900 unHs.
while McCarty's hydrogen gas Vows

NEW YORK, April 2J.-Jay Gould was
salled upon at his home by q Tribune re-
porter this afternoon. In reply to ln-
auiries concerning the present condition
pf affairs in the Southwest and other
matters. Mr.. Gould expressed him
seIf as follows. sit is so quiet that
we hardly know there has been strike
out there. Messrs. HOxie and kerringer
saw they never saw things move so quietly
as they do now. The strikers console
themselves with the thought that we are
not doing any business, but we are doing
a large business-a larger amount than
we were doing before the strike, and more
than we were doing at the same date last
year. 1 have received this dispatch from
Mr.. HOxle:
%"'ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April "A, 1886.
sssThe report OF the third weeks earn
ings will not be ready to-day. but the
Auditor estimates that they VIII show an
increase of about 100000 as compared
with last year. II. NJ. H.
''It is hard to get away from such facts"
said Mr.. Gould. "There is increased
movement of ears on roads, and il would
look TO me as though the business OF the
country was improving. l think the i'm
provement would have been very marked
but for these labor troubles.
THE KNIGHTS BERATED.
"Public opinion has risen up and assert
ed itself about this matter and the fOrma-
ton of law and order leagues in the
Southwest has eXerted great moral innu-
ence, and in effect destroyed the organza-
ton OF the knights of Labor there. In fact
TO be a Knight of Labor out there now is
about Synonymous with being called a
criminal. This is the case in Missouri,
Kansas, Arkansas and Texas. Every
thing is perfectly quiet and orderly there
now. OF course there is some bushWhack-
ing and occasional attempts 10 throw
rains off the track, but the tracks are
carefully guarded and the result is that
everything is going along nicely"
Mr.. Gould was asked what he thought
Of the threats made against the Wabash
railroad system. in the event of his OBJ
tanning control of it at the sale tO-mor-
row.
WABASH AFFAIRS.
He replied: "The Wabash employs
hardly any knights of Labor. An organ
ization was made after the August strikes
in regard to labor employed. Mr.. Tai
mage, general manager under the receiv-
sr, tells me he is running the Wabash with
more business and 100000 month less
upon the payroll than before the strike
asst summer. The Wabash win be sold
Tomorrow under foreclosure and will be
bought in by the bOndholders. The ma
