MUST FACE A GRAVE CRISIS,
SITUATION IN INDIA IS GET
TING WORSE DAILY.
Just What the British Government
Has to Contend With at the Pres-
ent Tine-A Slight Foretaste.

Bombay. Aug. 25.-The latest dispatches
received from the frontier state that the
situation is getting worse. 1t is evident
that the Indian government must face a
grave crisis involving heavy expenditures
and probably great loss of life.
The government is confronted with the
following state of affairs: Khybar pass

valley and TWO large bTiSades are holding

Iris are again restless. The authorities
are convinced that Fort Ali Musjed could
only have fallen after desperate fighting,
as the native garrison OF khybar rifles
was made up of men who ndered val

ped4tion Of 1888. The fall of the fort is
very serious blow. for it isolates Fort
Lundi kotal, which is at the extreme end
of khybar pass, garrisoned by 800 Khybar
rifles, and necessttates the prompt recon-
quest of the pass.
This is certain to prove a formidable
foretaste on Monday, when body of ar

PRATT STOPS THE TRIAL.

voice, and he inquired of Mr.. Pratt If
he was willing to go on with the trial
before the three commissioners, and re-

and there being no board, I shall re-

There were then CALCULATIONS and

Dininny's strident tones were heard,
inquiring again if Pratt declined to
have a trial before the three commits

Judge Powers sat next to Pratt and
coached him as he made his reply, and
above the piercing whisper of the
judge, Pratt reiterated evasively his
first statement that he refused TO be

Dininny, and here Chief Pratt again
caught a whisper from the judge, and,
getting the thread of his explanation,
continued: Not when we have al

Dininny again reiterated his inter-
rogatory, and Chief Pratt revamped
his declination, and thereupon the
chairman of the commission ayerred
that that suited him all right.
A search was made at this point for
Kenyon, but it was found that, clothed
in his indignation and his wrath, ne

here decided that they would meet at
8 o'clock to discuss certain bills and
would give Kenyon notification of the

that is what the commission did.

that Commissioners Dininny. Noble

For nearly three hours yesterday
morning majority of the directors Of
the Union Light & Power company
were in session in the temporary quar-
tiers Of the company in the Bee Hive
building. The report of the committee
on organization absorbed the greatest
share of attention, and suggestions for
the promotion of the work in hand

services of w. w. Armstrong. now with

capacity of book keeper. were retained.
The new company is prosecuting the
work theoretically in order that on
the 18th of the next month the city
may be lighted under the terms of the
contract The extension of the light
district REQUIRES the erection of 900
new poles. and this part of the contract
is looked after by the erstwhile Pioneer
companv.
Under the terms of the contract the
com Dany is to receive $72 per lamp per
annum.
THE GERMAN METHOD.
In regard to granting franchises to
electric light companies. it is interest
ing to note the difference in this re-
spect between our own city and the
cities of Europe. Take, for example,
the CITY of Berlin. In the first place
the company must pay into the city
treasury 10 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts. 1t must furnish two central
avenues with light at a nominal cost.
Its territory of operation is clearly de-
fined; and it is compelled TO put down
main wires within a snort time. speci-
fed in the contract. The city may eX-
tend it's street lighting at any time at
nominal rates charged by the company.
The books of the company are always
open to the inspection of public Of
ficials. The company is bound by strict
rules relative to the tearing UP of
streets and the LAYING of wires. and is
limited to certain fixed charges to Gus
toners which cannot be changed with
out consent of the city council And
finally, the city requires a deposit for
security of $4,000, and requires the
company to keen a renewal fund equal
to 20 per cent of the invested capital.
This fund is in the form of Berlin mu-
nicipal bonds. and must be kept on de
post with the city magistrates. In ad-
dttion TO all this. the city reserves the
right to purchase the entire plant at
any time at a fair valuation, as pro-
yided in the contract
