PHILADELPHIA AROUSED.
The city Council Votes to lease the
Gas WOFIxs-CitIEenS
Protest.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 19.-Amid
scenes of disorder unprecedented in
the annals of Philadelphia's legisla-
tive body, the city council Thursday
night voted to lease the city's gas
works to the United Gas improvement
company for term of rs years for the
total sum Of $25,00O,000, the money
to be paid in various amounts before
the end of 1907. Council chambers
and committee rooms were crowded
with excited citizens protesting against
the lease to the United Gas Improve
ment company from p. m.., when the
proceedings opened in the finance COM
mittee room until after s p. m. when
select council passed the bill and sent
1t to the mayor.
The climax was reached when the
vote In common council was announc-
ed after 8 hours of debate. The mo-
ment President George McCurdy OF
common council, announced the vote
a great uproar was started IN tne gar
lery, which was crowded to the door.
From all over the gallery came misses
and cries Of "Thieves!"
A squad of police cleared the gal
lery. The agitation against the pass
age of the bill resulted in common
council amending the measure so as
to provide for a slight reduction in
the price of gas.
Mayor Weaver is expected to veto
the bill, and in that event both cham
bers will probably pass it over his
veto. The vote in common council
was IA to 9 and in select council 81
to A. There is only one democrat in
each body and both voted against the
lease. There is some talk among cit
liens who fought the lease to take the
matter to the courts.
