Ever since 1892 this extraordinary agent

Pacific COmpany's contract; the Pacific
Company has to depend on the general
fund, and If the bills are allowed 10 go
over so long the general fund will be ex-
hausted and the company Will lose an
other big sum. In view of these tactS,
which were explained to the minority the
representatives of the company agreed 10
accept the rate of 81 80, but in DONG SO
they intimated to the Mayor that aIter
this month the company wished 10 dls-
continue its service.
But the acceptance of the company was
not satisfactory TO the minority; there
were certain conditions attendant upon
their terms, and the principal one or these
was that in accepting the rate OF 81 80
from the city the company should agree
that the same rate would hold good Tor
the general consumers. This the repre-
sentatives refused to consider. 1t was
pointed out that the consumers rates are
already the subject of suit in the civil
courts and the company would not Jeop-
ardize the position it had taken there by
making any terms with the Supervisors.
1t was urged besides that the rates to the
city were based upon definite contract
which was admitted to be still in force.
The Supervisors came up little after
that and raised their stipulation on CON

Mayor told them they could take it or not:
The answer must be in tonight, and II II

meeting will have TO recognize the con-
tract Of the gas company and will have TO
allow it, and the refusal Of the minority 10
accept a compromise of 81 80 will cost the
city tidy sum. AS for the consumers
rates. it is probable that when the case
comes up the company will offer a reduc-
ton of from 81 so to 81 80, and that the
matter Will be settled on that basis.
After the departure of the representa-
and the Mayor discussed the situation
and finally came to the decision that they
would consider no proposition that was
not submitted jointly by the San Fran

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The proposition
that lrish-Americans of New York City
by popular subscription buy the Lakes Of
Killarney and present them to the king
dom of Ireland has met with spontaneous
approval from Irish-Americans in Greater
New York
President James J. Googan of the bor-
ough of Manhattan has been untiriug in
his efforts TO bring the undertaking to a
reality He has talked with many noted
Irish-Americans, who have materially
signified their willingness to make Muck
ross Abbey and Killarney an Irish-Ameri-
can national park. These subscriptions
have been made:
Richard Croker, S2500.
William r. Grace, $1,000.
W. Bourke Cochran. $1,000.
James J. GOOgan, $1,000.
Thomas J. Dunn, $1,000

Maurice +. Holahan, $500
William O'Brien $500
John 7. Fitzgerald $500.
Andrew Freedman, $500.
Nearly every district leader Of Tam

James Boothby Roche who has been
visiting this city and Canada. and who
as a member of Parliament from the di-
are situated, is heartily in favor of the
project. He called on Mayor Van Wyck
to-day, and also met Clerk Blake of the
Board of Aldermen and President Goo
gan. The plan was discussed. and Mr..
Roche said later that he had called to
confer with President Googan after re-
ceiving a cable message from his con-
stituents in East Kerry, who had learned
Of the plan suggested. and who were anx-
ious 10 know If such project were feas-
ible.
Michael Davitt had also cabled to Mr..
Roche to look into the matter, as he
thought it would prove of untold profit
to tourists and TO the people of Ireland
Mr.. Roche said that he held an option
on the McKross estate, and that if the
matter were taken up at once he could
obtain ii for 900 and not $3.50 900 as
previously stated.
The Standard Insurance Company Of
Scotland holds a mortgage of 500 900 on
the property, and if need be will accept
$50 900 in cash and take mortgage for
the balance. An officer of the Standard
Insurance Company is a tenant Of Nc
Kross, and he charges fee to all tourists
visiting the place.
Mr.. Roche said that if the park plan
proved a certainty. he had in mind a
brother member of Parliament who would
lease Muckross Abbey and turn 1t into
a hotel paying $4,000 a year rental.

A Meeting of the Supervisors
to Be Held Monday.
Three in the Minority Tired of Doing Demo
cratic PoIitics---The Gas Rate
Question.

THE question of gas rates is rapidly
assuming the character of a dead
lock- and out of it all will probably
come the solution of the problem of
board meetings. The Mayor and his five
Supervisors met three representatives Of
the Pacific Gas Improvement Company
in the executive office yesterday; the ul-
timatum of the city was delivered and the
answer Of the company was demanded.
The company was given until this even
ing to accept or reject the terms, and the
threat Of the Mayor was that unless the
terms offered by himself and the minority
were accepted he would refuse to call
meeting next Monday, and the company
could search elsewhere for it's money.
The representa- tives of the company re-
fused the terms at the meeting yesterday,
and it is hardly possible they will recon-
slider to-day. They will undoubtedly re-
fuse again and the meeting for Monday
will not be called.
There are other forces working, how
ever, and it may turn out that there will
be a meeting after all. In the minority
are three Republicans, and while they
have stayed with the minority on all
questions of principle, they are not Will
ing to pull Democratic chestnuts from
the fire to the detriment of the city's busl-
ness. There are other things on the cal
endar of the Supervisors besides gas
rates, and while the three RepublcanS
are steadfast in the course they nave
adopted on the question of franchises, the
one which raised all the trouble, they WI
hardly hold out against meeting now that
the fate of the franchises has been prac-
tiCalIy settled by the splitting of the ma
jority which favored them. Unless the
circumstances of the controversy change
materially before the time for meeting
on Monday the three Republicans Will
join in the session and will transact such
business as is necessary and urgent.
At the meeting yesterday E: ). Pills

their demand for payment at rate OF

denv the existence or the validity of the

would agree to combine the queSlon OF
consumers rates and city rates ana ac-
cent the minority's figures for both.
The representatives were asked II tHey
would ACCEPT a rate of 81 80 on the cityS
bills and they agreed to do so. The Su-

Death in an Avalanche
on White Pass.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, B. c.. June 9.-News was
brought by the steamer Amur, which
reached here this evening, of another
disastrous landslide on White Pass. The
avalanche which brought instant death
TO one man and serious, perhaps fatal, in
juries to several others. occurred on the
afternoon of Sunday last. just prior TO
the departure of the steamer.
A gang of men was at work on the
White Pass and Yukon Railway line just
over the summit, when terrible slide OF
rocks and snow came down the mountain
side, carrying death and destruction. At
the time the Amur sailed the names OF
the dead and injured We're not Obtaind BILE.
The slide came down with practically
no warning, and before the men could get
out Of its course the rocks and snow ere

working a short distance away and, hear
ing the noise Of the Sllde and the cries .Ot
the injured for help, at once rushed to
their assistance and with other willing
assistants soon had them eXtricdted, but
one man was already dead and TWO
others, II is feared, cannot live.
Dr. hlting, surgeon OF the rallT ay
company. VINO was summoned, says that
the backs Of the two more seriously in
jured men seem to be broken. Everything
possible is being done for the injured men.
More slides are hourly expected, and
men have been set to watch the mills
above the line for several miles above the
summit to give warning.
