NO MEETING CALLED YET.
GAS CONSOLIDATION WILL NOT COME
UP MONDAY NIGHT.
BENEFITS Which VIII Result, Ac-
cOrdlnE to the Claims of the
Friends of the Moventent-
Council Non-committnl.

The gas committee of the upper house,
to which was referred the request OF the
Missouri Gas Company to be allowed to
transfer its plant and that of the Kansas
City Gas Company to a third corporation
to be hereafter organized, has not yet
called a meeting and the matter will.
therefore. not come up at the regular
monthly meeting of the council Monday
night
Several members of the council who were
approached yesterday refused to give their
views or to intimate how they would vote
on the request OF the new gas company.
There can be no doubt but that the specter
of 'sell-out'' and the odium OF past
granting OF franchises will prove a stum-
bling block in the way of the reorEaniza-
ton of tine two companies. The efforts OF
the friends OF the movement are, there
fore, directed toward removing the i'm
preston that anything is being asked
which the council did not promise to grant
when Ii gave the new company n fran
chise. They are also showing that the pro-
posed consolidation Is not In any way an
absorption Of the company by the other.
Neither Is selling out to n third, but the
reorganization is asked for the purpose OF
protecting the investment OF millions OF
dollars in this city.
There Is very friendly feeling toward
the new company on the part of the mem
bcrs of the council and the only thing
which will tend to check the manifestation
of this feeling Is the disposition in certain
quarters to hold up the ghost OF the Met
ropolitan street railway franchise eXten-
sion and to make this occasion an oppor-
tunity for asking unreasonable conditions
from the gas companies.
The proposed consolidation viii result IN
n vast Improvement of the service and a
material reduction in gas bills. Kansas
City will have 2iO miles OF mains and will
have one of the best distributing systems
and facilities in the country. ST. Louis
itself has not 30 miles OF mains and thi1
city will have capacities and facilities ade-
quate to supply a city of 10000 people.
The free meters and stoves are retained.
and the price of gas will be 81 per thou
sand feet. Some opposition will undoubtedly
develop in the shape of pressure brought
to bear by consumers OF the old company.
who will be 10th to exchange 80 cent gas
for 81 gas even though the quality and
service will be improved by the combina-
tion OF the services of the two companies.
Petitions were circulated yesterday and
signed by a number of persons asking the
council to fix the price of gas at 20 cents
in the consolidated ordinance. II IS not be-
lieved that this move will meet with much
favor on the part Of the council In view of
all the perquisites given in the shape OF
free stoves. meters, etc.

OWLS BoWLED A GREAT GAME.
Won From the Acmes and Made n
New Record for the Grand
Alleys.

AS anticipated by the bowling enthu-
siasts. the tournament game on the Grand
alleys last night between the Owls and
the Acmes was a battle royal, and though
victory rested with the Owls the result
was for n long time in doubt with the
chances equal. The Owls won because they
bowled the best tournament score ever Tut
five going 500 or better and the team totals
aggregate 2633. The alleys Were crowded
TO the doors with the followers of both
teams. and the excitement and enthusiasm
at all times ran high.
At the start of the game the Acmes went
away like n whirlwind, a triple by kopf
and n QUAD by Hale giving them lead
of thirty-four pins in the fifth frame. The
Owls did some great bowling in the next
five frames and at the close of the tenth
frame they led by fourteen pins. and,
though the Acmes showed four pins in
the lead in the twelfth frame, the Owls
again went to the front in the thirteenth
frame, and from that point they were never
headed, bowling remarkably strong game

Guthrie, o. T., Jan. 29.-(Special) To-day
was the liveliest day of the present ses-

much real business was done, but the de-
bate was redhot and long continued,
neither house adjourning until late this
evening. One of the sensational features
was the final passage by the senate of the
bill prohibiting gold contracts in the ter
ritery. Senator Marum. Democrat offered
an amendment declaring that in the fut-
ure, all acts of congress should be sub
mitted TO Oklahoma for approval, which
raised a tremendous storm among the
Pops, but after voting it down, they passed
the bill, with the assistance of two Demo-
Gratis. Not satisfied with this, they at once
rushed to the third reading a bill virtually
repudiating all territorial, county and city
warrants by providing that nothing but
money shall be received for taxes.
Next came President Johnson's 5 railway

EVIDENTLY AN ERROR.
Congress Advertise
ing Committee Gives PrepOs-
ferrous Figures for 1S0G.

The advertising committee of the trans
Mississippi congress has evidently made n
strange error. In a booklet sent out show
ing the resources of Omaha, the receipts of
live stock for the year 1896 are given as
6,1S1,5 ,529 head of cattle; 14,592120 head of
hogs, 2,00619i head of sheep. These figures
make so preposterous a showing as TO in
total cattle receipts of Chicago for last
year were only 2,6O0,476; hogs, 1853, ,4I2:
sheep, 3590.655. The figures given in the
booklet are evidently those for the entire
stock receipts of Omaha since that city
commenced to receive stock. and were not
intended to show. as they purport to, the
receipts of last year.
A fact which saves the committee from
evident Misrepresentation is that its figures
make Omaha the first live stock market in
the country. while the committee only
claims third place elsewhere in its book
pf
