FROM the HALIFAX IN. 81 Chronicle.
The cause of the big reduction in the cost of
gas at Montreal was the starting of rival
company in business in opposition to the old
Montreal Gas Company. The new concern
has been enjoined by the courts from sup
plying gas in Montreal till next year, as the
Montreal Gas Company has an exclusive
franchise till 1895. simultaneously with the
decision came the announcement that the
old company had decided TO reduce the price
OF gas from $1.3O for Illuminating purposes
and 81 for cooking down to % cents all
round. This reduction is the direct result
of competition. From $3.50 to % cents is a
big drop to make at one stroke. 1t is a re-
auction of twenty seven per cent. The To-
ronto News remarks. that If "a gas COM
pany with certain epmpetition staring il in
the face can afford Ito distribute gas at %
cents, it becomes Experiment question to
sknow what price itfcould afford to charge

WILL BE A NEGRO STATE.
Oklahoma Shows n Great PrepOnder-
ance of Blacks Among Its Settlers.

The growth of Oklahoma has been one of
the most remarkable in the history of
American territories. A few years ago it
was a barren wilderness, inhabited only by
savage Indians and lawless white men; to-
day it is knocking at the doors of Congress
for admission to the Union as a. state.
When it is admitted it will have a larger
Afro-American population than any state
OF it's size and population In the Union out
side the southern states. From figures fur
nished to the Memphis Scimitar by Peter
Flynn oliver, a reputable lawyer of Ell
Reno, who went to Oklahoma from South
Carolina few years ago. it is learned that
the Afro-American population numbers Co.
600, there being $500 in Blaine county,
1900 in Kingfisher county. $500 in Lincoln
county, 10000 in Logan county, the re-
mainder being scattered in all the other
counties. The total property holding of
these people is $685., 326, divided as follows:
Five million four hundred and lightweight
thousand one hundred and ninety dollars
represented by 5S4,919 acres of farm land;
$37 400 represented by town property, and
1897. represented by personally. Com
menting on these figures, Mr.. Oliver says:
THE land in Oklahoma is largely raw
and the price 1 place upon 1t Is extremely
low. Settlers have hardly begun to build
deliberately, and the majority of the pio-
neers brought with them no personally
worth mentioning, save their teams, when
they first came; some came even teamless.
The personally valuation is, therefore, very
low. If you could have seen this barren
country, however, on April %, 1889, then
gone away, and dropped down upon US, to-
day, you would be wonder-struck at the
metamorphosis. The dug-out, the sodhouse
and the shack are being rapidly replaced by
beautiful and comfortable homes for man
and beast. The estimates have given you
are for Oklahoma, excluding other portion 8
Of the old Indian territory. There is laCge
Afro-American population in that portion
of the territory, many of them worth their
hundreds of thousands of dollars. The
Creek and Seminole nations have more
African than Indian blood in their veins
and Governor Brown of the Creeks shows
his African more than his Indian blood
He is a man of education and wealth. The
Kickapoo, the Kiowa, the Comanche and
the Apache lands are likely to come in soon
for settlement. The next move will then
be upon the five civilized tribes, who own
their lands in common. Then. the whole
Indian territory will have been swallowed
by the white man. Many lots Of black men
