RATHER EXCLUSIVE

ARE THE MEMBERS OF THE BOND sYNDI-
 CATE IN SELLING THEM.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Of the $22 COG, GOO gold deposited in New York and other cities S1 ,000, 900 has been deposited out of town-at San Francisco, Boston and Balti- more. The -$1o, ,oo0, 900 deposited in the legal depositories-the First, Park and City National banks and the Bank of Commerce today represent principally the gold hold ings of these banks, which were taken from the banks account and credited on the books to the governments account subject to the disposal of the trade.
 It was reported Tn Wall street, although the managers of the syndicate declined to confirm the report, that the syndicate has syld s30, ,000, coo bonds at 111%, leaving only about S2, ,500, eco more DuDds to be placed in this country. However, mem- Der of the syndicate stated today that only a comparatively small portion of the bonds would bs offered for sale, as the banks de- sire to retain their bonds to a large extent as a basis of new circulation when money begins to harden later in the year as an ticipated. The savings banks are also de- sirous of obtaining a proportion of the bonds for investment.
 Bids at 115 were made today to members of the syndicate, but were not coosidered. The managers of the syndicate intend to offer the bonds at price which will insure a quick absorption of the amount to be sold, and will not base their judg gment on any such isolated bids as have been made for small scattered lots.
 Russell Sage, who withdrew s55o 1000 in gold from the snb-treasury yesterday, is not and will not be a member of the syndi- cate, and none of the syndicate members will take any of this gold from him. All the members of tho last syndicate who withdrew gold from the sub-treasury have boen carefully excluded from the Belmont Morgan syndicate.

A DlSGRACEFUL SCENE
In the Committee Room of Selma'e Council Over the Water
 Works Discussion.

SELMA, Feb. 16.-[Special Correspond ence. 1.-The city council appointed com mittee short time siuce to confer with the water company in regard to settle- ment of the differences existing between the city and the company, and if possible to arrange new and satisfactory con tract with the water company.
 MT. William Henry White, president and principal owner of. the water company, reached the city Wednesday and last eve- ming met the committee. Captain White opened the ball by denouucing the council and the city, stating that he had not been treated honestly, etc.. etc. Mayor Stewart left the room, refusing to hear more of Captain While's abuse of the city and ad- ministration.
 Captain White then grew more abusive and even profane. He claimed that the recent test made in his presence and in the presence of the city officials was entirely satisfactory to all, as well as to the cltizeus present, wherenpon City Attorney Jeffries Informed him that he (White) was too a comprehensive idea of the result of the test.
 The meeting was warm throughout, aud no result was arrived at.
 The differences between tbe city and the company will now have to be settled through the courts. The city s very much wrought up over Mir. Whites disrespect- ful treatment of the committee.
 A bill was passed by the legislature few days since authorizing the city to issue bonds for the erection of a water works plant, and it is hoped that the meeting last evening will make the issue of the bonds e Cartgiuty.

COMPLIMENTARY, INDEED,

WE'RE THE WORDS OF SALISBURY IN RE- t HERRING TO AMERICAN POLITICS.
 LONDON, Feb. 16.-Lord Salisbury spoke at length on current politics this evening at the inaugural dinner Of the Irish Loyal ist club at the Hotel Metropols. What had happened in Irish national politics before, be said. was now happening again. When the first enthusiasm of any movement passed away, when the initiaiors of 1t were removed or their influence grew less, the Irish party was split by hopeless divisions which resulted in weakness and Encouragement. On tue other hand the unionist were stronger than ever.
 He regretted that there was in England mo special machinery, such as had given stability to the American constitution, for obtaining the opinion of the nation on pro. posals to alter the constitution. Eng ianl's only means of obtaining the coun- try's opinion lay in dissolution of pariia- ment on particular question. The ministers had introduced many meas ures having nothing on earth to do with home rule. Despite all pretensiops it was fact that homo rpla laulHnG u|6n11 pose of Q01

NATURAL GAS PRICES.
Plenty Of Gas at PIu.burRh at Fifteen
Cent Ratc.

Plenty Of Gas ut Pittsburgh nt FtfteCn
Cent Rate.
The following nrticlsSrinted in a re-
cent issue OF the Pittsburgh Dispatch
has naturally attracted some attention
and caused some comment IN Wheel
Ing. In view OF the present dispute
about natural gas prices:
The Philadelphia Company promises
an abundant supply Of natural gas to
all consumers this winter. This Is the
usual fall announcements a new sys-
tenn has been adopted 10 protect the do
nestle consumer against the waste Of
gas by manufacturing firms, which has
been the cause Of the trouble largely In
the past few years The manufactur-
ing plants have been supplied hereto
fore under contract The general prlc-
tlce has beer TO turn thu valves wide
open nj the factories and shops before
the domestic consumers breakfast
tlrnc and leave the dwelling hOuscs
with little or no gas for the entire day.
As gas will follow the line Of the
least resistance, Il has resulted that the
manufacturing establishments secured
about all the gas In the main aud the
dwelling houses almost none. To pre-
vent this the company has required the
IlR consumers W NhlNN ~hAa hlNll Wv
measurement sygtcm, the same MS tGo
domestic consumers. II n calculated
that whom all consumers are made to
pay for gas by measurement, they will
be more economical In It's ugC.
John II. mckinley, Of the philadcl-
phin Company, In speaking Of this In
PRODUCTION OF meters. said: I'VE have
been making the change for some time,
II is necessary for several reasons. II
will compel the consumers to be more
economical Besides, we wish to b.
paid for whnt gns we supply and do not
intend to give II away.
"Wc expect 10 give the manuinCtur-
ora gas cheaper By this system also.
We will start out at Il cents per thou
sand and seven cents less than the do.
nestle consumers price. In thu sum

Last evening the special council COM
mittee on the proposed building inspec-
ton ordinance held long meeting,
Mr., Hamilton In the chair, Consider
able progress was made toward fran
ing an ordinance, but great deal OF
work remains to be done, The sub
committee presented the measure It had
had drawn up, but the main committee
had different views ON many subjects
and there We're several blanks to I'LL
The first section provides that the
inspector shall be an architect or prac-
teal builder, This caused consldera-
BILE discussion, especially as to what
constituted u competent man, but this
the subcommittee had provided for by
STIMULATING that the Inspector must
have had ut least ten years experience
In his business, whether an architect or
builder.
The matter OF salary caused the next
discussion. A proposal was made that
II should be $1,000 q year! This was OBJ
Jectcd TO by several members, who said
they did not want u cheap man, After
some talk the salary was made $500.
Mr., Farrell had Il decided objection to
the number OF sections In the ordinance,
He wanted to reduce the number OF
these, even II the ordinance was not
shortened, and TO crafty him several
sections We're consolidated, without re-
lleYing the ordinance Of any OF It's YER
biage. Mr., Farrell said that people
down street" were scared when they
saw statement that there We're 9S
sections In the ordinance, and he want
ed to euse their minds.
The prospect is that It will be several
weeks before the measure is In shape
to be submitted to council, and then
IT will no doubt take several meetings
to perfect and pass II.
