NO GAS FOR CHICAGO.
An Important Decision Affecting the
Natural Belt of Tndiana.

An Important Decision Affecting the
Natural Belt of Indiana.
LoGANsPoRT, Ind, Oct. 7.-Circuit
Judge Mcconnell has rendered an opin-
ion in the case of Shierk vs. the Chicago
and Indiana Natural Gas company, sus-
tanning the injunction and restraining
the company from crossing the old Wa
bash and Erie canal bed. The court
held it was apparent from evidence that
the purpose of the company was to take
gas to Chicago, and, inasmuch as the
law only allowed them to condemn
lands to supply the citizens of this state,
they should not be permitted to make
the condemnation. The court also held
that the evidence showed it was impos-
sible to pipe gas that distance without
artificial pressure, which is prohibited
by an act of the Indiana legislature
This is an important decision, and will
create CONSERVATION among the project
ors of the Chicago pipe line The gas
company will appeal to the supreme
court, but months will elapse before a
hearing can be obtained. The gas COM
pany cannot get gas out Of the gas field
to Chicago without crossing the old
Wabash and Erie canal bed. The COM
pany has invested thousands of dollars
in surveys, rights of way and laying
pipes.

ism numbered 40 70 per 1000. as against

United States or n Republic Of Their

m-The Election Approaching.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. THE steamer
Belgic brings most important news
from the Hawaiian kingdom. The in
formation is authentic, being prepared
by one of the leading citizens Of Homo
lulu.
The Queen Seriously Ill.
Queen Lilluokalani is at the point Of
death. Her physician has pronounced
her trouble organic disease of the heart,
and her death may happen at any mo
ment. The queen has been advised OF
the worst.
The death of the queen will bring
about the most serious political compli-
cations, and already wire-pullers are at
work to secure control Of the islands in
the interest of England. Honolulu news.
papers dare not print one word of what
is transpiring, but the people are in a
great fever of excitement.
Fear British Control.
Americans in Honolulu will make a
desperate attempt to prevent the islands
from falling into British control. The
father of the heir to the throne, who is
an Englishman will work to his utmost
in the interest of the British. Ameri-
cans will take advantage of any lapse of
time to prevent Princess Kalulani from
taking the throne. The natives are in
sympathy with Americans and want
either republic or annexation with the
United States.
The Hawaiians feel no loyalty toward
their native ruler, who has foreign blood
in her veins.
The situation is so critical that the
presence of two or three warships from
the United States is an absolute
necessity.
Queen Dowager Kapiolani is also dan
gerously i'll with paralysis and may die
at any moment.
The English minister is the bosom
friend and companion of Cleghorn. the
father of the heir to the throne, Princess
Kalulani. Americans have some knowl-
edge of what is to be done, and are tax
ing precautions to organize and secure
arms sufficient to protect their rights.
The general election is rapidly APP
preaching and excitement Is at fever
heat between rival political factions.
