The Gas Agitation.

With the fullest precedents at hand for
Legislative regulation of the New York
city gas companies, the movement, or
rather the threat, 70 establish munich
pal lighting plant is plainly not for the
redress of grievances, but TO get tn city
into the business Of making light The
agitation started yesterday was started
by the restless spirit of Municipal Owner
ship.
There is more against that system
than overburdening the Government
with responsibility for functions that
are better served by private enterprise.
The Municipal Ownership advocate is q
load on industrial confidence and pros
perity. His voice is a signal TO every
business company successful enough to
be conspicuous that its business is in
danger. The Municipal Ownership man
is envious of it>and wants to seize IL. In
his devotion to his hobby he longs to
narrow the field wherein ordinary cit-
zens may make a living.
Trouble between the city and the gas
companies will be much better adjusted
by business men than by doctrinaires.

Dutch Ce-night 10 do 80 Questioned.

Dutch Ce.-Right TO do 50 Questioned.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Govern
ments OF Germany and Holland have Sc
cured from the President authority for
German Dutch telegraph company to Land
q cable on the Island OF Guam. This fact
was disclosed through a request made OF
the Navy Department by Baron Gevers.
the Minister Of the The Netheria nds. Tor
copies Of charts Of the waters OF Guam and
it's vicinity to enable the foreign company
TO facilitate the work Of landing it's line.
Az the Department had not been informed
of the grant made by the President. Il d.
clined to furnish the charts.
The Departments refusal was brought to
the attention OF the President, and in the
inquiry which followed. his right to permit
q foreign company TO land cable on Ameri-
can territory was questioned. 1t was con-
tended that such an authority could not be
Il was developed, however. that the opinion
Of Attorney General Knox, that the COM
pany which il laying the transpacifc
telegraph cable did not require the approval
Of Congress to make landings on American
territory, was construed by the President
TO confer upon him the right to grant the
permission requested by the German-Dutch
COMPANY II is now contended that the
right of the President extends only TO Amert-
can cable companies and that foreign tele-
eraph concerns seeking to land their lines
on territory Of the United States must
secure the consent Of Congress.
In view of the questions raised the matter
of permitting the German-Dutch company
TO extend it's lines to Guam Is being held
In allowance. The company wants to lay
A cable from the Pelews and the Celebes
groups to the German island Of zap. In
the Carolines, and thence to Guam, where
IL will connect with the new all. American
cable to the United States and the Philip-
pines. and thus make the line independent
Of the British telegraph route to Europe BY
way Of Asia.
