Belfast Makes Money Supplying It at GO
Cents Per Thousand Feet
WASHINGTON, March 10.-The City of
Belfast, Ireland, has been making large
profit on the gas works controlled by it.
Last years profit was e37, 677. It has
been decided to lower the cost to con
sumers, although the present price is
ridiculously low, according to Ameri-
can standards. Hereafter gas will be
sold for 80 cents per thousand feet, in
stead of 66 cents, and there will be a
discount Of from per cent to 20 per
cent, dependent upon the amount con-
sumed, all this, too, with coal at $500
per ton. United States Consul fancy
at Belfast, has supplied the depart
ment of state with full statement of
the cost of producing Belfast's gas, re-
garding the subject as interesting to
American newspapers just now.

ready to introduce into the house very
soon after congress assemblies. Speak
ing of the report that the law might
provide that the duties assessed should
go into effect Immediately upon the in
PRODUCTION of the bill, Mr.. Dingley said
that it would be impossible under our
constitution to make law retroactive.
Duties, he said, must be assessed ac-
-cording to the law on the statute books
at the time goods were imported. The
law could provide that goods still In
bond should pay the new duty if they
had not been withdrawn from bond at
the time the law went into effect.
The committee had under considers
ztion during the day the sugar schedule,

sgarding it.

COMPACT AGREED ON
Organization of the Senate Not
to Be Disturbed Durin0i
the Extra Session.
Republicans to Control Com
mittees and Democrats the
General Offices.
Davis Chairman of Foreign Az
fairs and Hansbrough Of
Public Lands.

WASHINGTON, March l0.-Numerous
conferences were held during the day
by the leaders of the various parties
and it has been practically settled that
no change will be made in the organi-
cation Of the senate, and that the pres
emit situation should be maintained
that the Republicans should retain the
control of the committees and the Dem
ocrats of the general offices. The formal
agreement to this effect may be post
poned for a few days, but the prelimi-
naries were agreed opon by the repre-
sentative men of all parties during the
aay, and it now looks as if there would
be no obstacles to the contamination of
the agreement. This agreement is to
be binding only during the present
special session of the senate and the
coming extra session Of congress, it be-
ing understood that hostilities will
break out again next December when
congress will convene in regular ses-
sion.
The compact provides for the APP
pointment of new senators to fill the
vacancies caused by the retirement of
their predecessors and that Republicans
shall be appointed in the places of re-
firing Republicans the Democrats in
the place of retiring Democrats.
The Vacant Chairmanships.
This will give the Republicans the
opportunity to fill all the vacant chair.
manships. The most important of
these are on the committees ON foreign
relations, naval affairs, privileges and
elections and public funds. Senator
Davis has already been placed at the
head Of the foreign committee. It is
understood that Senator Shoup will
succeed Mr.. Davis as chairman of ter
xitories, that Senator Hansbrough
will go to public lands, and
At is probable Ethat Senator Hale will
take naval affairs and Senator Chandler
privileges and elections. The two
vacancies ON the finance committee
-occasioned by the retirement of Sena-
tors Sherman and Voorhees, will be
filled by the appointment Of gold Re-
publican to succeed Sherman and q
silver Democrat to take Voorhees, place.
The agreement also provides for the
reference Of the credentials Of each of
the senatorial appointees to the COM
mittee on privileges and elections,
where, it is understood, they will not
be disturbed until the regular session
in December.
