New York. June 23.-It is under

tually concluded for the acquisition of
the Great Northern ore lands by the
United States Steel corporation. For
NAL announcement, however, is not ex-
pected until next month.
The information comes from excel

has been reached on all points and that
there is no doubt whatever Of the Of
fetal ratification Of the deal and its

future. "r~ y + - =
Just what the terms are could not
be learned, tho it is assumed that they
do not differ in any radical particular
from those under consideration some
months ago. .,.
In the early part Of the year the
deal for the lease Of the Great Northern
ore lands to the steel corporation was
nearly brought to conclusion, but
some differences Of minor character
arose regarding the royalty basis and
negotiations were declared off. Since
then, however, it is understood that
their removal as resulted in a salts

ARTIFICIAL GAS AT
SOC AND AT 75C
Cincinnati Gas Deal that Involves
$50, 100000 Big Profit
at Low Rates, ~.

Cincinnati, June 23.-The eastern
syndicate, represented by A.. S. White
Of New York, and thought to be either
the Standard Oil crowd Or the United
Gas Improvement company of Philadel-
phia, that recently closed ninety
nine-year lease for the two artificial
gas companies at Cleveland, has just
closed a similar lease for the plant of
the Cincinnati Gas and Electric COM
pany, which supplies Cincinnati with
artificial gas.
Mr.. White promises that the new
company will reduce the price Of gas
to consumers at Cleveland still lower,
tho the price in Cincinnati is so cents
a thousand for gas for commercial pur-
poses and rs cents thousand for light
ing and other limited use.
The company will also build a great
electrical station here to supply cleo
tricity at price SO cheap that small
| companies will find it profitable to buy
their supply from the big company
| instead Of generating it themselves.
The syndicate has organized both OF
it's new Ohio leasing, bonding and OPP
Grating companies as the Union Gas
and Electric company. To each it adds
| nati' being added and made part Of
| the name.
The new company guarantees pei
cent dividends on the stock of the Gin
cinnati Gas and Electric company after
1910, in the meantime paying Az ant
Az per cent dividends. 1t is to keel
on deposit in securities 100000 t,
guarantee the payment of, the divi
| dend. It is also specified in the con
tract that the new company shall ex
pend 100000 in improvements ant
extensions at once.
One Of the most remarkable feature
of the deal is that it is said to involve
over $56,0OO,O00, which indicates tina
i gas-making is an exceptionally profit
able undertaking at the comparativel,
low rates charged, and that also th
profits have been sufficient for the ere

stock. Cincinnati is city of 10000
population, which makes the fnancia
feature of this deal all the more con
spicuous.

How About Contingent Funds?

.. ( p. r
The senators in their discussion Of
the appropriation for the president g
travelling expenses yesterday, continued
to misstate the facts and to misrepre-
sent the president. Likewise their
criticism appeared to have an air Of
virtue not justified by the practices Of
the senate itself.
What provision Of the constitution,
for example, gave the senate the right
to erect an office building at an ex-
spense Of millions and to provide each
senator with a private room9 It may
be necessary to the public business and
it be unnecessary The senators them
selves were the sole judge Of the need,
and it is generally easy to persuade an
official that he needs a private room
or a larger desk.
