The GAS PROBLEM.

Tie Cost of the IIluminant in Belfast.
An Interesting Exhibit from Consul
fancy.
In the last volume of Consular Re
ports issued by the State Department
We find the following:
The discussion in some Of the cities
OF the United States Of the cost Of illu-
minating gas has suggested that it
would be of interest TO learn that the
city Council, which controls the gas
works of Belfast, has reduced the price
TO consumers from 66 to 60 cents per
1000 cubic feet, beginning with the
current quarter. Here gas bills are col
lected quarterly. so that the reduction
takes effect from the first Of the year.
This charge is subject to the follow
ing discounts, providing the account for
the preceding quarter is paid on or be-
fore the Goth day of January, April,
July. and October of each year:
Per cent.
5000 and not exceeding 10000 cubic f.. .
1000 and not exceeding 10000 cube r. ~
9l0dlI and not exceeding 10000 cubic r. -
Above 10000 cubic ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. -
The reduction in price was contemp-
lated last year on the ground that the
profits were so large (e67,977 IS. ID
1927 ,S92.1 10 for the year ended June 80,
1886 that the current price was unjust
TO the consumers.
For an intelligent understanding OF
how so large a net revenue was realized
at 66 cents per ! 900 cubic feet less dis
count. a condensed reproduction Of the
official statement of the receipts and eX-
penditures for the fiscal year ended
June 80. 1896 Figures reduced TO United
States money!, is herewith subjoined;

The disposition of the net revenue
was in sundry ways, such as for new
works. meter investments, contribu-
lions to public library, parks, etc. in
terest on mortgages, sinking fund,
stock dividends. etc.
It will be observed that the largest
item of expense is for coal, which costs

A GREAT REVIVAL

and organization Of the Christian
Eastern Churches.
A telegram from st. Petersburg says
the fact that war has not produced dis
cord among the powers and has not
modified the programme Of the imperial
visits. is regarded in official circles as a
solid guarantee of the localization OF
the war and as a safeguard Of peace.
This statement, however, forms a
contrast TO the news from Toulon to-
day. announcing that the entire French
Mediterranean squadron was taking
on board provisions, coal and ammu-
milton in order to sail for the levant If
necessary tomorrow.

a dash through the Dardanelles caused
much interest in military naval circles.
Il was pointed out that the lombard
ment of small puIts on the Albanian
and Macedonian coasts does not require
powerful ironclads such as the Psara,
Hydra and Spetsai, and these may try
TO run the gauntlet of the Turkish
ships and ports in the straits. II only
two of them succeed in getting through
the effect Of their appearance in the
Bosphorus would be incalculable. 1t
is quite certain that with their present
armament, the Turkish warships would
be
POWERLESS AGAINST THEM.
The Greek army, at present, is suffer-
ing from lack OF medical supplies. The
chloroform is already exhausted and
nurses. medicines, clinical thermome-
,ers. lint and surgical appliances are
needed.
The attitude OF the various Balkan
states is closely watched in political
circles. Prince Ferdinand, OF Bulgaria,
is playing her own game and is deter
mined to profit TO the utmost by Tur-
keys stress. apparently needless Of ad-
vice even from Russia.
The Seryian minister at Paris, in an
interview. describes Servias attitude as
being one of strict neutrality.
According to advices from Rome, re-

key are entirely suspended.

TARIFF BILL PASSED THE SEN

riff bill, which has been under dis
cussion in the Senate for several
weeks, finally passed that body
last Thursday by the decisive vote
of 50 to IS. II was Immediately
sent to the House for concurrence,
but as it had been 50 learfully emf
asculated with Senate amend.
ments, it WAS in the nature Of a
new bill and had to be referred to
conference committees of the two
Houses. AS the members are au-
Xi0uS to ''sLake the dust of Wash

the heated term in cooler l0cali-
Ties, it is probable that not much
time will be consumed by the con.
terees i'll adjustment Of their differ
ences and the iniquity will soon
become Il law. The affirmative
vote oil the final passage was cast
by thirty.tive Republicans, two
silver Republicans, Jones and
Mantle, and one Democrat, Nc.
Emery, OF Louisiana. The mega
1--WE vote was cast by twenty five
Democrats, two Populists, Harris

General Jail Delivery.

Ten prisoners, all colored,' made
their escape from The Parish Jail
Monday night. 1t is not known at
what hoHr 1t occurred, but is sup.
posed to have been ab0ut12o'cl0ck.
The cell up stairs, in which they
were confined, had au aperture in
the iron floor, over which had
been riveted patch. This they
priced up and cut through the
wood work and ceiling into the
cell below, making an opening
large enough to pass through.
They then cut their blankets into
strips, which they plated into a
substantial rope, by means of
which they descended to the cell
below, opening into the corridor.
This cell was uuoccnpied and the
door unlocked, notice Of which, no
doubt, had been communicated to
them by c0nfrdeyates on the ont.
side. The corridor d,ors w.ra also
