It was learned from trustworthy sources to-day that Standard Oil interests are behind the movement to secure control of the Consolidated Gas Company of Baltimore. The syndicate, which includes John D. Rockefeller, YvTHiam C. Whitney and Roswell P. Flower is the same that recently secured control of the gas companies of Greater York, and its plan Is understood to ir hide the absorption of similar corporation 3 in various parts of the country.

The interests that are endeavoring to bring about a consolidation of three electric light companies of Baltimore are also understood to be associated with the New York syndicate. If the deal is consummated a new company will be formed, which will take over the Consolidated Gas Company and Brush, Edison and Northern Electric.

"The evidence, as well as the other data, disclosos that on the Ohio river, as well as its main tributaries, where reservoirs could act more directly on the floods than elsewhere, with the ope exception of the St.

Francis basin, there are no suit-aide sites or holding grounds where reservoirs ould, at any moderate or reasonable expense and without working far-reaching and extensive damages, be constructed that would at all be adequate to pen up and retain the great downpour from innumerable mountain torrents during the great freshets of January, February and March." The committee concluded that only through properly constructed levees can the proper relief be secured. The furnishes an estimate of the cost of completing the levee system from the head of St. Francis basin to the bead of the passes, putting the figure at from JlS.noo 090 to $20,000,000. and the time necessary at from four to five years. The committee state that good results in assisting navigation have been obtained from dredging with tho new style of hy-diaulic dredges, which have proved very effective, and recommend that r-mple provision be made for continuing this work.

Speaking of revetment work, they say: "There is no doubt that revetments are very efficacious, but the cost is so immense that their systematic application is scarcely warranted." Speaking of the jetties In south pass they reach the conclusion: "On th whole it appears that, although the jetties have accomplished much good and great re-suits, they have not wholly succeed in the fine channel that existed from to 1SS3. To maintain the ood results then obtained, the dikes, cllls and jetties, carried away, should bo replaced, or restored, as far as practicable. Besides, the Jetties should be extended seaward lurther than ordinarily built. For fraeticel purposes the -pass is not aduncate for vessels drawing over 21 or at most 25 feet 'of water.

The committee conclude that It Is very 4loubtful whether a hannel, sufficient for this larger class of vessels, can be obtained in the south pass, on account of the difficulty of securing a sufficient vol-vme of water, as well as the expense.

The southwest pass Is regarded in many quarters lay and expert as the cheapest and most feasible route through which to obtain the requisite deep water navigation.
