The engineers o! the City OF PGeb.a deny that
they were opposed to the position assumed by

As far as the cause OF the tie-up is concerned,
they say that they were in sympathy with the

THE wILKESON COKE.
1t IL rs Good as the Famous McCon-
nelIsyilIe Product.

Yesterday afternoon l. NJ. Kelly of wflkeson,
superintendent of the Tacoma Coal Company,
arrived with his wife at the Occidental hotel.
The company has at Wilkeson thirty coke ovens,
the only ones, by the way, on the Coast. 'We
expect that in the spring." said he, eve shall
erect twenty ovens more, making fifty in all.
Our product goes to Tacoma, Seattle, Portland,
Spokane, and indeed to ali the places in Wash
ington and oregon where coke is wanted.
at is impossible to make coke out of the lig-
mite coal which is so common here, and impos-
sible to make it out of good deal of the true
bituminous coal. For instance, there is q vein
of bituminous coal near the one of which we
make coke; and though 1t ia excellent for steam
and domestic purposes, IL is useless for coke.
Sometimes the veins OF bituminous coal lie be-
tween veins Of Ignite, although people generally
suppose that the bituminous coal is lower
down.
''Before coming out here I made coke for
years within two miles of McConnellsville, and
believe that the coke we burn here is tn 0
equal of the famous McConnellsville product
The two things that render coke inferior are
ash and sulphur. Coke with much sulphur in
it cannot be used in the manufacture of steel.
Well, the McConnellsville coke contains 10 per
cent ash and 2-l6 per cent sulphur. Our Wilke-
son coke has Is per cent. ash and no sulphur at
all The coke here. however. weighs only
thirty-uine pounds TO the bushel, while the
standard is forty pounds; but think that the
absence of sulphur makes up for the smaller
weight"

There is some complaint about the barken-

Tahiti. Near ManzaniIla.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17.-Messrs George and
lmiek, local agents OF the schooner Vine, have

two hours on her bottom. The steamer Rose
vile will try to tow her TO ManZanilla. The
Tahiti looked as if she had been bottom up for a
month. Her rudder was gone and there was no
sign of any living creature.
News from Mauzanilla states that the steamer
Roseville, which had gone to tow the wrecked
brig Tahiti to port, returned unsuccessful, the
tow lines not being strong enough. She will
start again soon. The Tahiti is bottom up 1t
is believed that when righted number of bodies
will be found IN the hold. She had hundred
persons on board, all of whom are probably lost
