SAYSIT WILL BE WARMER
PROMISE OF WEATHER SERVICE
THAT WILL BRING JOY TO MANY.
Gas Consumers Buy Coal in Anticipa-
ton of Lower Pressure-Yester-
days Temperature.

The prediction Of the weather service that
to-day will be fair and warmer" will bring
gladness into many households where the
only fuel is natural gas. A similar predic-
ton was made by the weather forecasterS
on Friday night for yesterday but it failed
to hold good. Local Forecaster Wappen-
hans awOke yesterday morning in the midst
of a roaring blizzard that had been raging
since o'clock the night before. At o'clock
yesterday morning the thermometer regis
tered degrees above zero. This was the
minimum temperature for the day. The
highest temperature for the day was 80 de-
grees. At O'Clock last night the thermonl-
eter stood at II degrees.
Business was lively with the retail coal
dealers yesterday on account of the sharp
change in the weather. Indiana block coal
sold readily at SO a ton and anthracite
brought 81 q ton. People were afraid to
trust the gas over Sunday, and those who
have stoves suitable for coal deemed it best
to lay in supply of fuel. There was much
complaint against the gas companies yes
terday, although it was stated at the Office
of the Indianapolis Gas Company that not
nearly so many complaints came in yeSter-
day as on Friday.
A man who has informed himself on the
gas situation said last night: THE whole
trouble lies in the facts that the gas COM
panies have too many consumers on their
lines. In this city there are 80 600 consumers
where should not be more than 5000. The
gas Is not failing in the fields, according to
the reports of the gas inspector, and wells
are shot every few weeks that gush forth
with the all the old-time force. The gas
companies have let their mains run down
until they are in wretched condition The
gas inspector discovered this and has made
a report of the fact. | notice that the Indt-
annapolis Gas Company says that few COM
plants came in yesterday. That does not
Indicate that people are satisfied with the
supply. There are thousands of people in
Indianapolis who have gone to the company
with complaints until they have grown tired
and have come to the conclusion that 1t Is
useless TO COMPLAIN"

sing, the well-known middle-weight pugil-
list, who, until short time ago, assisted in
training James j. Corbett, is lying critically
i'll at his home in this city, as a result CT
a terrific blow on the back of the head, de-
livered by Jack Root, in their recent fight
in Chicago. Lansing is almost entirely para
lyzed and to-day is hardly able to speak.
He can move only a few portions of his
body. His physician, DR.. Mcintyre, thinks
from what he can learn from Lansing, that
the terrific blow he received on the head
from Root, and which felled him, causing
him TO strike his head upon the floor with
great violence, has caused the formation of
a blood clot on the brain. Or. Mcintyre
says the chances of Lansing's recovery are
slight. Lansing has been confined to his bed
since he returned from Chicago.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Nov. 26.-Early last

every factory abandoned gas and will use
coal the rest of the winter, and already
stronger flow is noticed in dwellings, but

be severe.

Mr.. Cannon Sees No Reason Why Con-
gress should Meet Next Spring.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-Representative
Cannon, OF Illinois. chairman of the appro-
priations committee of the House, has ar
rived, and to-day the subcommittee on de-
ficfencies began consideration of the esti-
mates for the extraordinary expenses of
the army and navy, growing out of the war,
and the preparation of a bill covering these
deficiencies for the period from Jan. l. 1899,
TO July l. 1899. Mr.. Cannon will push the
preparation and consideration of the regu-
lar appropriation bills as rapidly as posi-
BILE but he sees no reason now why any or
them should fail and thus necessitate an
extra session. He expects that the urgent
deficiency and the District of Columbia
bills will pass before the holidays and that
work on the other regular bills VIII have
progressed so far during the recess that
they can be brought into the House after
the recess as rapidly as that body is ready
for them. The committees having jurisdic-
ton over the bills not prepared by the APP
preparations committee-agricultur consul
lar and diplomatic, army and navy, etc
will also get 10 work Immediately after the
session begins.
Mr. Cannon thinks 1t useless to attempt
to work during the holiday recess There
twenty years when the House refused to
adjourn for the customary recess, but on
each IL Wa9 impossible to keep a quorum of
members in town and nothing was accom-
plished. Both he and Mr.. Dingley, chairman
of the ways and means committee, share
the opinion that TO try to hold the House
here during the recess would be impracti-
cable and Improbable With the enact
ment of the regular money bills necessary
TO carry ON the governmental machinery
at this session of Congress, Mr.. Cannon
sees no occasion for an extra session, so far
as legislation for our new possessions is
concerned. He believes unripe or hasty leg
isiation FOL, the government of the islands
would be infinitely worse than military
rule. Under military goVernorship there is
perfect elasticity. Changes can be made to
fit new conditions fast as they arise. A
years delay before attempting permanent
study and investigation of all the condi-
items surrounding the government of the
Islands, both by the military authorities
and by commissions which may be provided
by Congress- Congress could then Mr. Cam
non says, deal intelligently with the SUBJ
ject.
The grand total of the appropriations for
the fiscal year ending July l. 1899, includ-
Ing all the extraordinary war expenses to
for extraordinary expenses from Jan / to
July /, 1889, is SSS3 Isl .6I5. There are no fig
ures, as yet, upon which the appropria-
tons for the coming session of Congress-
can be based but Mr.. Cannon believes they
viii be considerably below the figures for
the last Congress.
