GAS BILLS COINCIDENCE.
Two City Employees Make an Interest
ing Comparison.

Two city employees noted a peculiar CO.
incidence in their artificial gas bills yester-
day One lives in Morton Place and another
in the central portion of the city. The bill
of the Morton-pace man up to Sept 20 was
$3.50, that Of the downtown man $2.1S. Their
bills to Oct 20 were increased to So and $3.50,
respectively, and to Nov. 20, Sab and 1853
an increase in each case of 81 cents on the
October bills and $1.l3 on the November
bills. Both men say that they are sure there
ought not to be such an increase and mas
much as it was the same to cent for two
months on both bills they are wondering II
the increase was an arbitrary amount and
if others were affected in the same way.
There was less complaint yesterday of the
natural gas supply-due, probably, to the
warmer weather.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
A short time since allusion was made in
the Journal to the possibility of European
combination to override our continental
policy. Since that time the Austrian premier
has made a stormy appeal for the concert
of Europe to break down the growing power
of the west beyond the Atlantic. There are
muttering indications that the great con-
tinental powers are coming TO an under
standing (of which the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
Poland was the infant prophecy looking to
the partition of China as the most available
solution of the problem of cheap food, out

Passenger rates between Chicago and St.
Paul and Minneapolis and Duluth will be
restored on the 18th of December. All the
roads interested in the traffic in that por-
ton of the territory of the Western Pas
senger Association were represented at a
meeting in Chicago yesterday and the de-
csion to restore rates as soon as the legal
notice could be given to the Interstate-com-
merce Commission was unanimous. Such of
the roads as think they have grievances
requiring redress agreed to hold their woes
in the background for time and the meet
ing promised collectively and individually
that when the troubles of any of the roads
were presented for adjustment they would
be fixed up as quickly and in as satisfactory
a manner to the complaining road as pos
Sible. Between now and the l2th the rale
of 81, made by the Milwaukee q 81. Faul
will be in effect on all the roads, but last
night Chairman Caldwell sent message TO
ali other passenger associations and inter-
ested lines asking them to refrain from
using the 81 rate for basing purposes. 1t
was the general opinion among all or the
roads that the one thing to do was 10 get
the rates back to the old STANDARDS as
not done it would only be

New Movement Against scaIpers.

Probably the most important resolution
70 he considered by the National Live Stock
Exchange az the convention to be held in
Sioux City, Ia, Dec. 8, is one relating to
the return passes to live stock shippers
who come to market in charge of live
stock. In consequence of the alleged abuse
of the privilege by the sale of these passes
to the scalpers, the Western Passen-
ger Association has notified shippers that
after certain date the practice of issuing
passes would be discontinued. To avert this
move. timely action is proposed on the part
of the National Live Stock Exchange with
a view toward assisting to remove the
cause of complaint. Another reason as
signed for the withdrawal of the return
pass privilege is the application of the
Kansas law both in Kansas and Nebraska,
which, it is claimed. compelS the railways
to accept overloaded cars of live stock
without reference to weights, thus neces-
stating extra attention for the protection
of the railway claim department against
death losses. The railways, 1t is further as
serted will conform to the humanitarian
feature by carrying experienced live stock
attendants on every train under the express
direction of live stock agents familiar with
the business. The proposed resolution reads:
THAT this association does hereby urge on
the Senate of the United States and the
House of Representatives the prompt en-
actment of laws whose object shall be to
suppress the practice of ticket scalping and
coniine the sale of railroad tickets to the
properly authorized agents of transporta-
ton companies together with suitable pro-
vision for the redemption by such compa-
MES of unused tickets. or portions of tick
cts, presented for that purpose by the orig
inal purchaser"
