NAMED BY THE MAYOR.
e. S. Starkey and John C. Horfi-
gan Appointed Members Of the
Board of Public Works.

DoGE1 VI l. w va nSs
Mayor Smith yesterday morning an
nounced the appointment of John q.
Horrigan to succeed Judge Barrett and
Z. c. Starkey to succeed himself as
members of the board of public works
for tive years. The appointees took the
oath of Office at, once, and the board re-
organized, R. J.. German being re-
elected president and w. f. Erwin sec
rotary.
That Judge Barrett was not reap
pointed created considerable surprise in
some quarters. He was the Oldest MEM
Der of the board, and until a year ago
was president of the body. Many of his
friends had asked the mayor to reap
point him, but MI. Horrigan was
stronger candidate for the office: lie
had been promised a seat on the board
by Mayor O'Brien and again by Mayor
Rice, as reward for his services,

RenIatins Slammed TinNare.

In the process of forming stamped tin
ware fiat sheets of metal are placed in pow
erful presses and forced by means OF dies
into shape. This shaping process and
enormous pressure on the metal completely
disintegrates the tin coating, breaking the
fibres and rendering the surface of the
wares fractured, rough and unfinished.
This defect is remedied by replating, which
reincorporates and reunites the surface,
correcting all fractuosity and making the
ware bri ght and new. The ware to be re-
plated is dipped into caldron of boiling
tallow, so hot that the original tin-plating
is softened up and melted from the surface
of the sheet iron. Then the article so
treated is dipped into a pot of fused tin,
where it takes on a new coating of that
metal. 1t is then dropped a second time
into the grease pot, which has the
effect of evenly distributing the coat
ing of tin, taking off the superfuous
metal. 1t is then put into box Of bran,
where it is cleansed of the thicllest of the
grease, and finished by being rolled in
flour and middlings, which completely
cleanses the ware, leaving it smooth and
bripht.-Americdn artisan.

A Curious Calculation.

By the most reliable authorities on
livestock affairs, among which is the Agri-
cultural Department of the United States,
the total number of cattle in the world is
estimated at 227 1864 head, while the
grand total of horses amounts to $685., ,239
head Taking the population of the world
to be 1862, $40, 900, as generally estimated,
there would be less than one head OF
cattle to every six people, while few
could ride, as there would not be one
horse to every twenty-four persons. In
the matter of sheep, of which there is
estimated to be 49,55S, ,456, and swine of
which the grand total is placed at 81 ,544,
447 head, there would be one mutton to
every three persons, and one porker to
every twelve. Allowing grand distribu-
tion for beef purposes of all the animals
enumerated to take place at once, if such
could be done, the close of 1888 would see
each specie as extinct as is the mammoth

intend to meet some of the Democratic
leaders at Sacramento with view of rec
onciling the conflicting claims of the rival
cities. Mr.. English has been apprised by
nearly all OF the members of the commit
tee from San Francisco that if Sacramento
will forego her claims this year they will
cheerfully assist the Capital City in having
the Convention located there two years
from now, when full State ticket will
have to be nominated. and it is believed
that this inducement will have its effect.
The Convention, in addition to electing
National delegates, new State Committee
and candidates for Congress, will also have

death of the Chief Justice was sad blow
to the members of the Court, by all of
whom he was regarded with warmth of
affection that has constantly increased with
years. The justices were so deeply moved
by the announcement of his death that
they asked to be excused from making any
statements with respect to the high estima-

was dearly loved by all the Court, and they
had the highest estimation of his ability

Claus Spreckels Testifies to the Output of
Pacific Coast Refneries.

Pacific Coast Refineries.
WASHINGTON. March 23d.-The House
Committee on Manufactures resumed the
investigation of the Sugar Trust this morn
ing, and Claus Spreckels, of San Francisco,
was examined. There were two refneries
in operation on the Pacific coast, witness
said, the American Refinery, with a ca
pacity of 100000 or 100000 pounds daily,
and witness refinery, with q daily capacity
OF 100000 pounds of raw sugar. There
was used this year IN witness refinery
about 40, 900 TONS or one-third of the an
nual crop that came from HaT ali 10000
or 50000 tons from the Philippine Islands,
and about 10000 tons from Central Amer
lea. The price of raw sugar from Hawaii
was formerly fixed by the price in Manila
P. l., but for the last three years it had
been regulated by the New York market.
The trust combination has undoubtedly
tended to lower the price of raw sugar and
raise the price OF refined sugar. Sugar was
cheaper In San Francisco than in New
York, but of course when sugar went up
in New York it went up in San Francisco.
Representative Wilson" Then, by re-
naming out you have reaped the same
beDefits as those who have gone into the
trust"
Answer-"Correct."
Question" Then the trust is good for
you?'
Answer" Well, l don't know so much
about that. The trust may say, 'Spreckels
won't join the trust, but we will crush him
out. We will put the price of sugar in
San Francisco down to five cents, and
make our profit here 1 have come East
to start factory, so as to get my share
here"
Question" This investigation is to
ascertain whether the tendency of these
combinations is injurious to the consum-
ers. Now, as q matter of fact, has not
their effect been to produce competition and
lessen the price OF sugar, instead of pro-
ducing an opposite effect ?''
Answer don't agree with you. They
are not going to form trust to work for
the people. They are going to work for
their pockets"
Question" The trust says that your
building of all Eastern refinery is mere
pretext ?"
Answer" No; there has been some
talk about it being a bluff. You will see
what viii do. 1 do not bluff, but when
they bluff 1 make them show their hand"
Speaking of the probable growths of the
beet-sugar industry in this country, witness
said if the United States could be sure of a
certain amount of protection, there was no
doubt but what, in eight or ten years. the
beet production would supply the country
with sugar.

Europe's Coal supply.

1t appears that about 100000 tons of
coal per year is the amount yielded by
the chief coal districts of Great Britain
Newcastle, South Wales and the Clyde
country-and, assuming this to represent
the average annual consumption for many
years to come, ii is estimated that the
British mines will not be exhausted in
less than 600 to 800 years. 1t is further
calculated that, drawing upon only one of
her fields, the Westphalian, Germany viii
not be able to exhaust her coal supply in
less than LOCO years, and she has, in addi-
tion, the riches of the Bayarian, the Ach-
can and the Silesian coal districts. 1t is
