IL the natural gas supply had continued
in its original volume there would be no
question but that all interest of the orig
inal stockholders in the Consumers Trust
Company would have ceased when the
stock was paid off. with interest, and the
city would be the only party in interest.
Now, what is the effect of the failure of
the gas supply? This is a misfortune for
the people. but 1t cannot affect their rela-
ton nor that of the city to the assets of
the company. 1t is the city and the people
who have suffered by the failure of the
gas supply. and not the stockholders in the
Consumers Trust Company. The latter
have received all their money back with in
terest, but the people, after paying for the
company's plant. are out of gas If there
had been no failure of the gas supply the
original stock would now be extinguished
and by what process OF reasoning can it be
held that failure of the gas revived the
stock and reinvested the stockholders with
a large property that had not cost them
a cent, taking il away from the parties
who had paid for every bit of it in
cash?

MANY PLANTS REsUMING.


NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
industrial activity has increased some
what, many plants resuming and others pre-
pairing to reopen on Monday. Several pend
ing labor controversies have reached AMIGA
bic adjustment, adding to the aggregate of
wage earners employed. On the other hand
strikes ordered and some mills will be
closed because of lack of new business,
while the struggle for control of the copper
properties has thrown thousands out of
work. While there is evidence of setback
in the steel industry and some hesitation
In textiles at the East, the general tenor of
these reports is encouraging for continu-
ance of prosperity, particularly in the Sec
tons where agriculture is the chief occupa-
ton. Collections are causing some uneasi-
ness and financial conditions are unsettled.
Merchandise is freely distributed, earnings
for October thus far surpass last years by
So per cent, and those of 1901 by 1916 per
cent.
Purchases of iron and steel products are
still restricted to immediate requirements as
a rule, although the decline in quotations
appears checked Some trade authorities
predict an avalanche of business when buy
ers are convinced that more attractive terms
cannot be secured, but experts believe that
contracts will not be freely placed until
financial conditions improve TO such an ex-
tent that the railways and other big con-
sumers can secure funds readily
Doubtless both statements are correct
and the former will be dependent on
the latter. In the meantime plans
are being made to still further
curtail the output of pig iron. Some in
creased interest Is noted In structural ma
terial for office buildings, warehouses and
bridges, but orders are insignificant when
compared with last years business i'm this
line. In the sheet market there are re-
ports of price concessions by independent
mills, and small sizes OF pipe are weak, but
large pieces and tubes are in brisk request

Stunning.
For the first time this season it is pos
sible to record a distinctly better tone in
the market for cotton goods. Print cloths
are frmer, occasional small advances be-
ing quoted. and the market for staple and
fancy prints Is strengthened by the paucity
of supplies. a slight Increase in sales of
woolens Is not sufficient to recover lost
ground nor Is supplementary business up
TO the volume that should be coming for
ward at this time. New England footwear
factories have all the business needed for
full occupation of machinery during 1903,
and the urgency of wholesalers to secure
prompt shipment indicates that retailers
are seeking immediate deliveries.
Failures this week were 253 In the
United States, against 233 last year, and L.
in Canada, compared with y year ago.

THE RECEIyERsHIP SUIT.

Mr. George Marott, in his application for
a receiver for the Consumers Gas Trust
Company, Unfortunately attacks both the
trustees and directors of the trust, some of
whom made very great sacrifices in putting
this company on its feet, in order that the
people might have cheap natural gas. This
was notably the case with Mr.. Hanna. who
put his personal fortune behind the enter
prise to the extent of several hundred thou
sand dollars, without thought of profit or
compensation in any shape. Mr.. Marott has
been and is a heavy speculator in the stock
of the company, holding, according to his
own confession in his bill of complaint, s91,-
coo of the stock. much of which was bought
at par or less than par. Manifestly his in
terest lies In a distribution of the assets
of the company to the holders Of stock GER
tificates. The only way this can be accom-
plished is by the appointment of receiver
and a receivers sale of the property, and
this is just what Mr.. Marott's petition for
a receiver means, regardless of any extra
legal talk I'm the petition.
The purpose of the Eureka Investment
Company and its organizers can only be
surmised at this stage of the proceedings
but. If all that Mr.. Marott alleges about
them were true and their purpose were to
wreck the company and wipe out its obliga-
tons to furnish cheap fuel gas to the pub
lie. he could not play more directly into
their hands than he has done by bringing
suit for a receivership.

PENALTY OF DISOBEDIENCE.
Boys Act Costs His Own Life and His
Father Is Dying.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3o.-Disobedience Of
his father has led to the death OF Edward
Acton, eight years old, and the fatal injury
of the parent Young Acton was flying a
kite from the roof OF their home in Brook
Ign. His father ordered him down and
forbade the boy his dangerous pastime.
A few hours later Acton found Edward
on the roof again and gave chase. The lad
ran along the edge, missed his footing and
fell to the yard, a distance Of about thirty
feet. Seeing his son falling, and appar-
emily with an idea that he must try to
save him at any cost, Acton jumped out
into space He landed nearly ten feet be-
yond his unconscious boy.
Crippled and almost dead from the shock
of his fall. the father dragged himself TO
the side of his son, and when an ambu-
lance arrived had clasped the boy I'm his
arms Not until the hospital was reached
would the father allow the boy TO be taken
from him. Edward died two hours later
and the father is not expected TO recover.
Acton is a well-to-do machinist.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-On account of his
official connection with the Alaskan tribunal
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,. declined to
discuss the award of the tribunal on his

was not willing to discuss how the agree
ment came to be reached, but it was adj
mitted that the decision giving two islands
in the Portland canal to the United States
was based on Vancouyer's narrative of his
voyage of exploration. The question hinged
on whether he had called the water to the
south OF the island the channel, or whether
he had gone to the north of them. 1t was
found that he recorded having gone from
the entrance to point of land above the
island in a certain time. To do this IL was
figured that he entered the broad channel.

four islands. This led the commissioners to
decide that the two islands lying near the
mouth Of the canal and opposite Port Simp-
son belonged to the United States. Mr.. Tur-
ner, while he was not willing to discuss in
detail the subject, admitted that this was
true Speaking of these two islands. he said:
They are of very little value TO US, except
from strategical standpoint / believe that

will have Port Simpson for its Pacific ter

Touching the report that the Canadians
charged that Lord Alverstone had been
practically won over by kindness, the ex-
senator said he did not think such a thing
could be- If anything, he added, the hospi-
tally and kindness was on Lord Aver

one of right under the international Law, and
Lord Alverstone, who is an able Jurist,

Mr.. Turner regarded il as fortunate that
the commission was able TO agree, and he
considered ii a step forward in the settle
ment of all future disputes.

LONDON, Oct. 30.-Chairman McCrae, at
a meeting to-day of the stockholders Of the
White Pass SC Yukan Railroad alluded to
the Alaskan boundary award. He said that
while he regretted the decision which placed
twenty miles of their railroad under the
jurisdiction of the American flag. IL was
in reality more a matter of sentiment than
business. The reciprocal bonding arrange
ments between Canada and the United States
would continue. Both countries would suf-
fer equally and enormously by disturb
ance of the arrangements, and IL was more
in harmony with the enlightened spirit of
civilization to extend than to curtail them.
Mr.. McCrae further declared that the sug-
gestion for all Canadian or all American
roads to the Yukon were impossible Of real
iZation for a long time TO come.
