THE Big GAS TRUSTS.
An Impending Fight Between Them
in New York City.
MANY MILLIONAIREs INVOLVED.

1t Is Said That E. C. Benedict Is En-
denvoring to Obtain Practical Con-
troll OF the Lighting of the Metrop-
oils, but Mr.. Benedict Denies 1t.
New York July 21.-Todays Herald
says notwithstanding vigorous pro-
tests to the contrary, it Is almost GER
tain that New York within the next
four months will be the scene Of a BIT
ter fight between two great gas trusts.
When the directors Of the Equitable
company announced last Monday that
they would not surrender their holdings
on the terms proposed by the East
River company the casual observer be-
lieVeu that it was q heavy blow at the
proposition to organize gas trust num-
Der two. But the blow was more ap-
parent than real. E. G. Benedict and
his friends control the Equitable stock
He has been for some time anxious to
form a combination in this city similar
to the one that haS given him practical
control Of the lighting Of Chicago. He
was very active in the prelmnaries
Of the futile attempts aerconsolidatiUn
with the Consolidated company a few
months ago Though Mr. Benedict de-
mics ii, his friends insist that he has
been quietly Gt work making plans by
means Of which the East River com
pany will be absorbed into the EGuita-
bic, and then, they say, with this cOali-
ton It Is his purpUs" to 60 directly into
the territory occupied by the Consoli-
dated ard Standard Gas companies and
fight those corporations on their own
ground.
Meanwhile the East River company
was fully aware Of what was going on.
Thu men interested in this corporation
are in control Of hundreds of millions
Of dollars. Ogden IOelet, G. &. Ha-
vens. G. G.. Ravens, Jr., August Bel
mont, r. II. Wilson and Conrad N.
jordan arc deeply Interested in the
succcees Of the company. According
to the statements In The Street" these
men, approaching the efforts of some
OF the Equitable stockholders to get
control of the East River, nearly
turned the tables and attempted to OBJ
tain control Of the Equitable.
Mir Benedict declares positively that
he has nothing to do with the an
nouncemeut by the Central Trust cGm-
pany. He says that there is no object
10 be gained by the Equitable joining
with the East River. Other directors
of the Equitable say the same, yet it
Is positively known that propositions
were made TO the East River company
by men who hold very large portion
Of the stock of the Equitable and that

THE TARIFF IN THE SENATE.


Indications That the Measure VIII
Reach a Vote This Week.
Washington. July 21.-The tariff con-
ference report was presented to the
senate yesterday, but little progress
was made on 1t beyond the formal
reading of about two-thirds of the re-
port. During the day Mr. Tlllman
openly threatened a flllibuster until
next December If cotton bagging and
cotton ties were not restored to the
free list but the threat was regarded
as somewhat facetious. The sugar
amendments occasioned long debate,
during which Mr.. Allison stated that
the conference rates were lower than
those Of the senate and largely con-
cession to the house. Senators Vest,
Jones, Berry and White questioned this
statement, urging that the sugar trust
secured larger benefits from the con-
ference schedule than from any pre-
viously offered. The lumber amend
ment also brought out an animated
criticism from Senators Teller and Pet
tigrew. Early in the day the senate
passed a joint resolution authorizing
and requesting the president to take all
necessary steps for the release of the
Competitor prisoners from prison at
Havana
The indications when the senate ad-
journed were that a vote would be
reached upon the conference report on
the tariff bill sometime during Thurs
day, or at the latest before the close
of the week. There may be change
in the conditions which will postpone
a vote, but it is difficult to see what
could cause 1t. The opposition to the
bill realize that there Is no possibility
of preventing the adoption of the re-
port, and their present purpose is only
to secure what advantage they can by
exhibiting what they claim are the in
consistencies of the measure.

Governor Hastings Veto Ak.

Harrisburg, July 21.-The Orme bill
was yesterday vetoed by Governor
Hastings. The measure imposed a 10
per cent tax on the face value of all
orders, checks dividends, coupons,
passbooks or other paper representing
the earnings Of any employe not paid
in cash to the employs or member OF
his family, and provided a penalty for
failure to report annually to the audi
tor general. These bills were also dis
approved: Providing for the commit
ment and treatment Of persons in asy-
lums addicted TO the use of cocaine,

SOMEBODY was criIninally neglectful
yesterday afternoon whereby the accident
occurred tearing out three passengers
coaches on tho Edgemoor train. 1t was q
gross piece OF carelessness on tho part Of
somebody aud that person should be dis.
charged from the company's employ. 1t
was fortunate II was not the through train
heavily loaded with passengers instead Of
this local train with only five passengers
aboard. The p, w. & B. has been one Of
the luckiest railroads in the country, be-
ing free from accidents and rarely having
passengers killed. Its management Is par
excellence
