EVENING PAPER COMMENTS

LONDON, December 1S.-In spite Of the
to President Cleveland's message to Con-
eress on the Venezuelan boundary ques-
ton, the general public here refuses to get
excited or even Interested in the matter.
At the hotels, CLUBS, railroad stations, etc,
the matter is rarely alluded to. Those who
have read the correspondence resent Pres
ident Cleveland's attitude, but the almost
invariable answer received to the reporters
inquiries for an expression of opinion is:
What is it all sbout, anyway?"s
The message, however, is being used on
the stock excharg ge to hammer American
securities. Consols also declined; but there
was no excitement.
One newspaper remarked:
1.-The Yankee jobbers are the only persons
Injured Ly the message, and they have just
ground for complaint"
The editorial comments of the New York
the situation are reprinted here with ap-
Proval as rejecting American opinion.
Radical evening newspapers take the
most serious view of the situation. The
Star. in a double-column head, asks: lis 1t

Editorially the Star remarks:
1T is difficult to eXaggerate the gravity
Of the situation. The United States may
be assured that Englishmen, regardless Of
bury's claims, and will not submit to
bounce"
Public opinion" says the Westminster
Gazette, will unanimously support Lord
Salisbury, but 1t is a pity he enlarged the
dispute and attacked the Monroe doctrine" "

Mr.. Pearson Says His Company Has
All It's Pressure.

The Indianapolis Gas Company is to begin
a war upon those of its patrons who have
had the tenserity to tamper with the
mixer" Within the last two days a great
many discoveries have been made by the
inspectors where people have removed
mixers bored them out. The com
pany asserts that thirteen offenders were
located yesterday in various parts of the
city and West Indianapolis A list is be-
ing kept of this class of patrons, and the
company says that reckoning is not far
distant. John r. Pearson, president of the
company. says the people are getting the
very best service that the company has in
stock.

had since the discovery of natural gas"

airy will, I think, average twenty-five de-

PRODUCTION Of natural gas into this city.
We have every bit of gas that we can
put on. Our contract with the Citizens
Street-railroad Company does not affect the
supply in the least The company is burn
ing Lima crude oil, and does not consume
ounce of gas. The courthouse is heated
by coal and all of the hotels are burning
coal under their boilers. We are giving
the private consumer all the gas we can
forty-seven more than we had last year.
The scarcity of gas is not alone felt here,
because every town in the State is short
Even in the towns of Wabash, Upton,
Bluffton and Elwood they are complaining.
1t is true that we haven't the pressure at
the head of the line that had a year
ago. This long pull has necessarily reduced
the pressure, and the wells have had no
chance to pick up.
All this hue and cry about the Indian
apolis company wanting legislation is nom
sense. We are not asking for meters, and
we will not do so. We are not asking any
thing of the Legislature, and do not expect
from West indianapolis, where they have
a fair supply, except on the hill. That
point is five or six miles away from the re-
ducing station at Twelfth street. During

lines are kept open. The trouble is the.

they do in the day. The indianapolis Gas

to take a committee over every foot of the

ELECTRIC-LIGHT MEN ORGANIZE.
Opposition to Municipal Control De-
yelOped I'm the Meeting.

About thirty representatives of the cleo
tric-light and power companies of this
State met at Englishs Hotel yesterday and
perfected a permanent organization. The
meeting was in response to call issued
about a month ago by the leading COM
panies. When the meeting was called to
order, about o'clock yesterday after
noon, H. w. Frund. general manager of the
Vincennes Electric-light and Power Com
pany, was made chairman pro tenn. The
organization is to be known as the Indiana
Electric-light Association It's purpose is
claimed to be the cheapening of electric
heating and lighting and to aid in rendering
better service. At the annual meeting pa
pers will be read by the members relating
to matters of mutual interest, and the OBJ
jects of the meetings will be for the
mutual benefit of the members.
Following the adoption of the constitu-
ton the association elected, as president, j.
W.. Roney, of the Richmond Light Heat
and Power Company, and Mr.. Smith, of
Union City, vice president. The secretary
is to be appointed by the president and B..
rotary pro tenn, continued in the Office
until the president shall make an appoint
ment.
During the afternoon session Thomas J.
Ryan, of Cincinnati, representing the Fort
Wayne Electric Corporation, was requested
tosleave the meeting, because his company
has been fitting up electric-light plants
owned by cities. which, of course, is con-
trary to the wishes of the association.
Although the meeting was composed of
electric-light men, the afternoon session
closed in the dark, as there was some
trouble with the gas mains of the hotel,
and for some time the only light in the
whole building a single candle placed
on the clerks desk in the hotel office. The
night session was devoted to an informal
discussion of the best plans for the associa-
ton to pursue in its work. The national
association will hold it's annual meeting
