FRANCHISE FOR NEW COMPANY.
Board of Works Besieged--A TeIe-
phone for 81 a Month Guaran-
teed to Residences.

There was an interesting discussion of
the telephone situation at the Office OF the
Board of Works yesterday afternoon, when
representatives of the New Telephone Com
pany appeared to ask for a franchise, large
ly like that given the Central Union Com
pany, but differing in that it does not pro-
pose to pay the city 5000 annually on the
ground that inasmuch as its rates are to be
reduced from 10 to so per cent. it should not
pay part OF It's revenue to the city. 1t was
stated that the reduction in rates means a
saving to the subscribers of 100000 year
on bass of 2,500 phones in operation and
a proportionateIy larger saving as the num-
Der is increased
An interesting feature of the conference
was the appearance of representatives of
dozen outside independent companies ask
ing that the board grant the franchise in
order that their subscribers might be placed
in communication with Indianapolis There
appeared ~ represent the New Company S.
p. Sheerin, Pierre Gray and l.. c. Walker,
besides which directors A. II. NordNlxe
Harry b. Gates, M. B. Wilson, d. NJ. Parry
and W. N. Gates were also present. Sew
eral stockholders of the New Company were
also on hand The Citizens Cooperative
Telephone Company had Leon Bailey, Jacob
Messrs. Pickens and Cox. who the day be-
fore filed a petition asking the Board of
Works to let franchise by competitive
bidding, were also present In his talk L,
c. Walker intimated that one or both of
these companies might be representing the
Central Union Company in disguise. He
disclaimed any intention of impeaching the
motives of any one, but warned the board
that the Central Union (xoupauu oftar, a
sumes strange guises in throttlng COMPETE
ton at the outset. 1t behooved the board
he said, to inquire carefully as to the ante
cedents of any concern that asked to deal
with the city, and he suggested that it
would be well for the board to find the
source of any company that came in trac-
ing 1T back to the real parties interested.
lie declared that there had been absolutely
nothin secret in the movements of the New
Company, that nothing had been said at
any directors meetings that the board
might not have heard, and that it was easy
to ascertain who were the men really in
terested in the movement There was moth
ing anonymous about it. 1t was not ask
ing to keep secret its originators until some
future time. Insisting that he was not i'm

same time that it seemed rather strange
that after the New Telephone Company en-
tered the field, met instantaneous success
and seemed to fill popular demand so
many other companies should spring up like

who had filed a petition the day before
concealing the names of his clients for the
present, sat rather silent while Mr.. Walker
spoke of anonymous promoters of telephone

Wheat reached it's highest point in
years last week on the Chicago mar
ket, selling at $1.10 a bushel. There is
a growing belief that this figure will
be surpassed by May wheat. Septem-
Der wheat touched $1.05. December
reached $1.09 and january added an
other cent Friday of last week, with
two more days to beat this record.
Everything points to great scarcity
abroad, and the suspicion is growing
that SO much wheat has been exported
as to leave no surplus at home: Ex-
perts submit the following figures:
Wheat crop raised in United States last
year government estimate, 530,000,00
bushels; left over from previous crop,
100000 bushels; total available, $780,
100000 bushels; exported since July l.,
100000 bushels; consumption to
July 1, 1898 government estimate), $780,
100000 bushels; seed, 60,000,000 BUSH
els; total, 545,0O0,000 bushels; balance
left over, 100000 bushels. Not less
than 100000 bushels of wheat are
now owned by Joseph Letter, who de-
clares that his wheat is worth not less
than $1.25 bushel.
