FEW ROUNDS OF Hot
SHOT.
THE MAYOR TELLS CANDIDI.Y WHY
He SENT EAST FOR THE
New BOILER.

Mayor Sutro, through his secretary,
Colonel w. c. Little, has assailed the Man

The cause of the discord is an Eastern.
made boiler, costing only few hundred
dollars, recently purchased by the Sutro
Railroad Company.
The Manufacturers Association contends
that California boiler of equal merit
could and should have been bought if for
no other reason than that the franchise
called for the purchase of home products.
The Mayor, through Mr.. Little, denies
all this sort of thing, claiming that pat
ented articles such as the Eastern-made
boiler are not embraced in the franchise
though, admitting that they were, there is
a clause which expressly stipulates that
the California article must be OF equal
durability and cheapness as the Eastern
made goods. This Mr.. Little denies IS the
case, regardless of the repeated assertions
of the Manufacturers and Producers AS
sociation to the contrary
The association, however, has not de-
sisted in its fight against the Sutro Rail
road Company, for it now appears that it
has made official charges against the COM
pany, and as the result of this Mr.. Little is
extremely angry.
There will be read before the Supervisors
next Monday Mayor Sutro's reply to all
these charges. In the meantime Colonel
Little pays his respects to the Manufac-
turers' and Producers Association.

nevertheless a fact, that two of its most
prominent officers are directly connected
with one of the largest iron works on the
Pacific Coast. This OF itself should not
prove anything, for all minded

Yaine of n Railroad.

The chief engineer in charge of the
first line Of tho Mexican National rail
way met by n simple method what
seemed a dangerous opposition to the
road. After the construction of the road
from Laredo to Saltillo the business of
the 'conductas. or wagon trains and
pack mules. that had previously done
the local carrying, began to fall OF. I'M
til at length the owners banded together
and threatened TO shoot the trainhands
that were destroying their business.
The situation was grave, and troops
were about to be ordered ont to protect
the railway men when the chief engi.
neer begged tho company not to ask for
troops. but to furnish him with corps
of interpreters and an appropriation for
entertaining Having received both, he
invited the aggrieved carriers to BAN
quet and caused the interpreters to call
TO tho attention Of the guests the fact
that there was more money to be made
by furnishing freight to the railway
than by going to war Ii was pointed
out to them that the establishment of
mule routes from the interior to the sta
tions Of the railway would soon build up
a valuable carrying business. and SO
well was the argument presented that
threats of violence ceased. The suggest
ed local feeders to tho road were estab-
lished, tho line was extended TO tho City
of Mexico, and business so increased that
the carriers were buster and better off
than they had ever been before New
York Sun.
