ALIVELY KICK.
The Proposition to Raise the
Price Of Fuel Gas to
Eighty Cents
Meets With Much Opposition. Not
the Fair Thing. and Not
Necessary.

The proposition of the Board of
Public Service to raise the price of
fuel gas to eighty cents, meets with
very decided opposition, and good
reasons are given for objecting to the
advance.
It is claimed, that great many OF
our citizens have bought gas stoves,
on the assurance that the city could
afford and would furnish gas at sc
cents; and that no advance should
therefore be made, unless 1t is a
necessity.
That so cents was fixed as twice
the actual cost, to cover contin
gencies.
That the Directors and ex-Superin
tendent say that gas can be made a
so cents.
That the deficiency in the gas fund
was not caused by selling gas at 8
cents, but by making the gas work
pay the expenses of the electri
light works. Therefore, the propo
sition to increase the price of gas, |
to put an extra tax on the 800 fue
gas consumers, to keep up the cleo
trio light works. This, it is helt
would be very unfair and unjust.
1t is not strange, therefore, tha
there should be a vigorous protes
against the proposed increase in tn
lprice of fuel gas.

tsiue.
fihe pastors of the city churches
shased us no little kindness. for they
opened their houses of worship to
our ministers on Sunday, and in some
of the churches there was preaching
by our people each evening during
the meeting.
Then some Of our ministers did
some excellent preaching, and made
a most favorable impression on the
people. As a general thing they had
hacked houses and the very best
attention.
We like this thing of having the
meetinghouses open to our ministers
during Conference week. 1t gives
our ministers an opportunity to do
some sound and judicious preaching,
and at the same time enables all
those in the city to attend services
each evening. Thousands of our
people went away from Bellefontaine
greatly strengthened spiritually by
these evening services.
The Commercial Club, of Bellefon-
taine, through their president, Mr..
lw. C. Huston, did much, indeed, to
make it pleasant and convenient fol
those who attended the meeting. In
fact this club was at the trouble and
expense of placing on the ground al
additional buildings needed for the
conference.
Not only so, but the Club tool
charge of the lodging and did many
other things to help along with the
arrangements for the gathering
And when the meeting was over, moi
only the members of this Club, but
the citizens of Bellefontaile gener
ally expressed themselves as being
greatly pleased, and the Presiden'
said to us personally, that they fell
more than compensated for all theil
labor and expense in getting the
meeting to the city and entertaining
the people. In its vote of thanks the
conference did not fail to remember
the efforts of the Commercial Clui
and the citizens generally.
The railroads also treated our peo
pie in a most courteous manner. Tht
different lines not only did what the,
promised, but made all possible eff
forts to render the trip to and from
Bellefontaine pleasant for every
body. They also deserved a vote o.
thanks, and received it.
AS we view it. this was the bes
'Conference we ever attended. L
was the most spiritual and uplifting
and very far reaching in its mission
airy efforts. The delegates were eau
tious in the decisions made, while th
Standing Committee showed wisdom
in recommendations made to thI
lopen Conference.

LENGTH OF CABLE.

You can form some opinion of the ex-
tent of this great work when 1 tell you
that the length of his cable will be three
and one-half times longer than an At
lantic cable. When this is completed,
gentlemen, the system we have the
honor to represent here today will
reach from England and France to
China, three-fourths of the distance
around the globe. And I venture to
predict that we shall be able to beat
Puck's prophecy of girdling the earth
in forty minutes, by sending message
from San Francisco to San Francisco
in one-fourth of that time.
THE FIRST SECTION.
menced, will probably be completed
about Christmas day, or, say, by the
first of January; and if we have the
good fortune to be in communication
with Honolulu by that time we shall be
delighted to give you the free use of the
cable to exchange your congratulations
and greetings with your friends. The
remaining sections, starting from Homo
lulu, touching at Midway and Guam, to
Manila, 5000 miles of which have al
ready been manufactured, will be laid
and in operation. I hope, by the end
of June next. The whole length of the
line will be about 10000 nautical miles.
TRIBUTE TO JOHN MACKAY.
I can scarcely trust myself to speak
of the character, the enterprise, the
honesty, the uprightness, the liberality
and the warm-heartedness of our late
beloved chief. You knew him equally
as well as ourselves, many of you prob
ably better, for he loved California and
its people. He was a great builder-up
of his enterprises think, the greatest
this country has ever seen. He has
frequently said to me: ST like the man
who does something to build up the
country" To US his loss is irreparable
We feel that we have not only lost a
great president, but a great personal
friend. And, could he have been pres
ent this Afternoon, it would have been
the red-letter day Of his life. But We
feel. gentlemen, that he would have
wished US to have accepted your kind
invitation and to have assisted US in

Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen: We
deeply appreciate the honor of meeting
such distinguished body Of men repre-
senting the business community of this
city, and we thank you most cordially
for this great reception.
It is very gratifying to US to feel that
we have come to see you on this occa-
sion for the special purpose of show
ing you some evidence that an Ameri-
can Pacific cable is at last a reality.
For more than twenty-five years a ca
BILE across this great ocean has been
projected. Bills have been introduced
in Congress from time to time, but
nothing was accomplished, until the
late Mr.. John W. Mackay took up the
question. You are well aware that for
many years he had a great desire to see
a Pacific cable laid. He was con-
WINGED that the United States, and es-
pecialIy the Pacific Coast, needed direct
telegraphic communication with the
Far East; that 1t would greatly benefit
not only California, but every State in
the Union and after closely watching
