true enough that these men made great
strike, and some of them were guilty OF
things that were worse than mistakes.
1 don't refer here to those in particula ar
who were indicted, but to those mis-
guided men who found in the excitement
of rioting a sort OF excuse for their con-
sciences. All men, however, make mis-
takes if they make anything, and for one
do not feel like pursuing them or hav-
ing them pursued for indiscretions which
no doubt they themselves regret now in
the light of the cold facts of the case.
"The railroad was simply right in this
case, for it did its duty to the public In
every place where it was not physical
impossibility to do it, and where this inn
possibility existed the riots were the in
terrupting obstacle.
The trouble in almost ali such cases
as that of the late strike is due to the
activity Of the malignant few which
overbalances the apathy of the law
abiding element. have not had doubt
from the first that the vast majority OF
our men, barring the first heat Of disap-
pointment and vexation, were honestly
sorry to be placed in position so unten-
able as theirs was and that they regret,
even more than we do. the destruction of
property that was so closely identified
with their own livelihood.
THE time and passion of the strike
are far behind US and 1 am, as l have
said, glad to see these indictments
relegated TO the same limbo"

PETROLEUM FOR LOCOMOTIVE FUEL
The Experiment to be Given a Full
and Fair Trial.
Considerable Reduction In Expense
Anticipated by the Rail-
road Officials.

II. e. Huntington, II. J: Small and
superintendent Fillmore of the Southern
Pacific Company recently went to San
Diego to see with what degree OF success
the Southern California Railroad Com
pany were meeting in the experiment of
burning petroleum for fuel instead OF
coal. The result of their investigation is
said to be determination TO adopt
petroleum.
According to the Chronicle the expert
ment will first be tried on the local
trains about Oakland and Alameda, and
if satisfactory its use will be extend ed to
other roads OF the system.
General Superintendent Fillmore said:
'If we can burn petroleum at less cost
or even at the same cost as coal, we will
employ it on the local system across the
the bay. It would DO away with smoke
and cinders, and that advantage would
pay for the trouble and expense of equip
ping the engines with the appliances re-
quired for the burning of the OIL"
The Southern California Railway has
twelve locomotives equipped with pat
ented devices for burning petroleum,
and is preparing to equip all It's engines
company has effected saving OF twenty
per cent. in the cost OF its fuel The
petroleum is the thick, crude product of
the oil wells near Los Angeles, unlimited
quantities Of which can be had at small
cost.
Arrangements have been made by the
owners OF the oil wells to ship the sur
plus product to San Francisco, and it is
said that the Southern Pacific will be the
principal purchaser. Mr.. Fillmore and
Mr.. Small have figured out that TO use
the oil as fuel for locomotives at a cost
not to exceed that Of coal, it would have
TO be purchased for not more than IS
cents barrel, delivered. As the oil can
be had for % cents barrel in Los
Angeles, the company has no fear but
that 1t can secure unlimited quantities
for much less than IS cents aud effect a
large saving by utilizing it instead of
coal, which now costs the company st 80
per ton.
Several locomotives are to be equipped
with the necessary spraying devices,
arched ire boxes OF fire brick, and tanks
for the storing Of the oil, and expert
ments with the new fuel will be made as
soon as the engines are ready.
