Ject. however, to reasonable regulation
BIZ the council.
Maximum rate of gas for street and
municipal lights. 81 thousand feet.
No gas bill to be less than 81 in
amount.
Penalty of 90 per cent. to be added for
non-Dayment of gas bills within stipu-
lated time.
Gas mains 10 be extended to st. An
thony park and other sections Of city
not now supplied. when demanded.
City to have right to exact standard
of quality of gas supplied.
Company to pay city 5 per cent. of
gross earnings annually.
An important feature of these con-
cessions is the agreement on the part
of the company to pay ) per cent. of
it's gross annual earnings to the city
treasury.
These concessions were obtained by
the city franchise committee which
labored with the problem for six
cred the question of municipal owner
ship of gas and electric light works.
and decided that the city could not
afford at present to build the plant.
The st. Paul Globe, says in regard to
the committees action:
Relative to municipal ownership the
committee says the city is not in a
position to incur the expense that would
be required foT a gas and electric light
plant. Besides, the chatter tends to
operate against such project, and leg
islative aid would be necessary to cor
rect it. That legislative aid could be
secured the committee doubts.
The committee says it does. not want
to discourage the giving of franchises to
any party that may apply, but it ad
vises that in every instance a cash
guaranty be demanded. 1t intimates
secure franef.s.s hlst and get the cap
ital for operation afterwards and it rec
ommends that such methods be dis
coura ged.
The only portion of the gas COM
panys offer so far to receive the critic
ism from any member of the committee
is that making 81 the minimum of gas
consumption by any customer In plain
terms. no bill win be made out for less
than 81 AS one member of the COM
mittee explained. there are hundreds Of
gas consumers that never burn over 80
cents worth of gas monthly. and those
who use less than 81 worth are great
er in number than those that exceed
that amount 1t was pointed out that
such a provision would be a positive
hardship The gas company would real
ly be losing nothing by its reduction in
rate.
What appeals to the committee is
gas and the extension of gas mains 10
Sections of the city not now supplied:
also the right of the city to insist on a
standard of quality and to regulate the

Bible Study Glasses.

Among the many new activities which
are just now stirring in the First Pres
bytefian church are the formation Of
classes for Bible study and the enlarge
ment of the missionary work of the
church. Two Bible classes are already
IN the process of formation One under
the leadership of Mrs. Menninger. which
is to hold its sessions Monday after
moons. and the other under Mrs. Coun-
termine, which is to meet in the church
parlor Monday evenings. If any one de-
sires to join either of these classes. the
time to do it is now. The session of the
church has called a congregational
meeting for this week. Thursday even
ing. at 1880 to take in consideration
plans for the concentration and en-
largement of the missionary life and ef
forts of the whole church. Refresh
ments will be served and a general good
time had All the members of the
church and congregation are invited TO
be present.

Topeka TO WAIT.
Little Hope of Receiving Amy
Gas Rate Reduction.
Franchise will Not Expire I'm
til 1910.
OTHERS DO BETTER,
st. Paul Has just Granted Dol
lar Gas Franchise.
Company Will Also Pay City
5 Per Cent of Receipts.

1t begins to look as though the only
hope Topeka has of obtaining cheap
gas is to wait until the franchise of the
Excelsior Coke & Gas company expires
on June z, 1910.
In all probability the attempt to en-
force the dollar gas ordinance will be
stopped by the United States court, un-
less the attorneys for the city can con-
vince the court that the report of the
special master contains as many alb
surdities as they insist that it does. one
of the things which can be deduced
from the report of the master is that in
Guiding the interest and deprecia ton
percentages. the cost of making gas in
Topeka Is 81 a thousand feet And the
company is selling it for s1-65. The
company ought TO be glad to surrender
it's franchise if this is true
The present franchise of the gas COM
pany was passed by the city council in
July, 1889, end it was provided that it
should take effect in June, 1900, or after
the council which passed the franchise
had gone out of existence. The city has
brought in the supreme court an in
dependent action to test the validity
of the franchise granted under such
conditions. This is practically the only
hope of the city fer cheap gas until the
expira ton of the franchise
st. Paul. Mimi, is struggling with a
cheap gas problem similar to that
which confronts Topeka The difference
is that in st. Paul, the gas company
franchise has just expired. and the old
concern is obliged to cut it's rates to
keep control of the gas business.
A new gas company at St Paul pro-
posed to furnish gas for 95 cents a
thousand. but it could not promise 4
sufficient supply to fill the needs of the
civ. and its propositions were rejected.

Justice Alverstone and the congratula-
tons of Messrs. Root and Lodge on his
lucid explanation of so technical and

The attorney general made it clear
that Canada wants above everything
access to the sea and the American
counsel informed the Associated Press
that every effort will be made by them
to convince the tribunal that the treaty
contemplated a barrier between the
Dominion and the ocean and that the
question of territory is not important

Union of New York. on the question of
the fusion nomination for mayor Of that
city In Mr.. Jerome's letter are en-
bodied three letters which he has re-
ceived from Thomas A. Fulton, secre-
rotary of the Citizens Union. Letters
from Mr.. Fulton under date of Septem-
Der Is and Is are devoted to enlight-
en1ng Mr.. Jerome regarding the oppo-
sition within the Citizens Union to the
denomination of Mayor Seth Low, and
asserts that Mr.. Low cannot be elect

that Mr.. Lew is the logical candidate
OF the fusion elements, Mr.. Fulton
wrote under date of September 15
Some of the most determined oppon-

plished splendid results in 1901. men
who know their districts and who con-
stantly return with the reports that
the people will not take Low

TURKEY WEAKENING.
Shows Signs of Yielding to Bull
garian Demands.

London, Sept. 2s.-The Balkan situa-.
ton today presents a somewhat puzzling
aspect. Turkey is showing signs of
yielding to the Bulgarian demands and
it is evident from the daily meeting of
the council of ministers at Yildiz Kiosk
that some sort OF negotiations are in
progress with the object of avoiding
war.
According to dispatch to the Daily
Mail from Constantinople these councils
concern two possibilities-either to
make an arrangement satisfactory TO
the MacedonianS or obtain from the
great powers promises of neutrality if it
il found impossible to avoid a war
Apparently both Turkey and Bulgaria
are anxious to repudiate having taken
the initiative in the negotiations.
The Sofia correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph asserts that the overtures
came from Turkey and We're welcomed
Dy the bulgarian minister on the condi-
ton that deeds were substituted for
words and that the cessa ton of whole
sale massacre should become an accom-
plished fact. He adds that pacific So
luton, if it comes. will emanate from
Constantinople where the Bulgarian
representative is invested with full pow
ers and the negotiations are said to be
proceeding satisfactorily
The same correspondent says in the
meantime devastations by fire and
sword continue and the Bulgarian gov
ernment has received from Trustworthy
sources a pruesOme tale of massacre tor
lures, indignities and burnings. in many
instances the victims being slowly
roasted alive.
The assertion is made in another Sofia
telegram that the sultan will issue All
trade on Thursday granting the demand
for a mixed commission. but this state
ment is not confirmed and would seem
TO be negatived by the dispatches from
ConstantinoDle.
A Monastir correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle. writing September Is. says
the Bulgarian list of villages pillaged
and burned reaches total of 10s.
According to a dispatch from Odessa
the whole Russian Black sea fleet is kept
on a war footing in readiness for. any
eventuality.
LEAN TOWARD TURKEY.
London, Sept. 23.-The Sofia CORE
spondent of the Times affirms that a
singular communication has been made
to the Bulgarian government from
Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign
minister who observed that, in the opin-
ION OF Count Won Buelow. the German
chancellor. Turkey has the right to send
troops to Bulgaria to preserve order.
This interesting disclosure, continues
the correspondent. was coupled with q
gentle recommendation to observe eau
ton.
At the same time Count Goluchowski,
the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister,
expresses the opinion that the slaughter
of 1000 Macedonian peasants does not
warrant complaints of the extermin&-
ton Of the Bulgarian race in Mace
donna
The condition OF the 10000 refugees at
Burgas, mostly old men. women and
children, is deplorable All are abso-
lutely destitute and furnishing.
