SEVEN OFFICERS RELEASED.
The Remainder Of the Names Men
Expect To Leave by Saturday.

KEY WEST. Fla. March 1.-THE ar
rival Of the court Of Inquiry from Haya-
ma on the Msngrove to-day was not un-
expected but the extreme mystery which
has surrounded the behaviour OF lis
II ambecs during the day is in strong con-
trast with their former conduct at Key
West. The most definite statement OBJ
tainable vas from member OF lne
court, who. after stipulating that his
name should be suppressed, SAID
Il do not know Whistler we shall hold
a session. but ! suppose ne Will.
The only development which followed
the courts arrival was the release OF the
cave orders OF seven Of the Names Off
GERS. Tn, other officers will remain here
although the only apparent reason for
their attendance is thai they may testify
further. But all the Names officers ex-
pect to get away by Saturday. Captain
Sampson and Judse-Advocate Mark
lunched together on the lowe. which
lies six miles OF shore. They did not re-
turn Tonight.
Ii is generally believed that the court
Of inquiry has come to the definite con-
clusion that the explosion was external,
and the court is now only busted over
minor technical details.
one Of the officers Of the Maine said to
the cores Ondent:

A NEW GAS PLANT.
Will Be Built if Certain Terms Can
Be Made With the City.

Topeka may have a new gas plant
and cheaper. gas 1t may be that the
price will be as low as 81 but that is
matter for future consideration.
1t has developed that the visit or
Charles K. Holiday, the resident attor-
new of the gas company, to New York
CITY was for the purpose of comforting
with prominent members of the gas
trust with reference to the Topeka
plant. A proposition to reduce the gas
rate is pending and it was this that
took Mr.. Holiday to New York.
Mr.. Holiday brought back with him
proposition from A. N. Brady who has
charge of the Topeka plant which will
be placed in the hands of the individual
members of the city council in few
days.
This proposition is to the effect that if
that body will keep its hands off and let
the company alone for II months there
will be no cause for complaint about
rates. He also promised to extend the
gas mains and make substantial i'm
prOvementS.
When Mr.. Holiday was asked for the
meaning of the proposition he said;
The gas company is inclined to do the
fair thing and the truth of the matter is
that the present plant is too small and
out of date to serve the purpose of sup
plying the city. 1t has not the capac-
Il found Mr.. Brady anxious to make
improvements here but he felt that the
city had not treated the company fairly
since the transfer was made. The first
thing was q new franchise for dollar
gas and this franchise was granted be-
fore the ink was dry on the check given
for the plant. Now the council is try
ing to reduce the rate. 1t is one de-
mand after another and our people are
not feeling very well.
Mr.. Brady said that if the city would
give the company a chance the rate
would be reduced. Another thing that
is certain and that is that the present
holder which holds but 60, 900 Gu. fit. of
gas will be replaced by a new one hold
ing 500, 900 Gu. #. A new plant will be
built and the mains will be extended
wherever necessary. When that is
done the company will be in shape to
furnish gas at g, much lower price.
am not prepared to say what the price
will be but it will be as low as $1.25 and
may be even 81. All this will be done
this summer if the council is disposed
to give the company a, chance
Mr. Holiday says that the improve
ments Mr. Brady promises will cost in
the nefghbOrhOOd of $4,000 and the bulk
of the sum will be spent at home for la
Dor.
The dollar gas ordinance is in the
hands of the council committee on ju-
dietary. The committee started Sc
rieS of Investigations to find out how
much of a reduction the rates would
stand but the company fatty refused to
give the desired information and Il res
OlutiOn to instruct the city attorney to
compel the company to file a statement
was passed but nothing has yet been
done to secure this end ana no report
has been made.
If the council is assured of a reduction
in the rates to consumers there will be
no trouble about the proposition of Mr..
Bradley being accepted. A new gas
plant in Topeka would be welcomed as
well as the reduction in gas rates.
