The Santa Fe system includes the At
lantic and Pacific, the st. Louis and San
Francisco, the Southern California and the
Colorado branch, besides the parent road.
1t has been in the hands of receivers for
about two years.
Vice-President D. Is. Robinson has been
putting the system through a general reno
vation. New rails have been laid wherever
needed, the rolling-stock has been i'm
proved considerably and iron bridges have
been substituted for the old wooden
trestles.
"Since last January" General Freight
Agent Bush said yesterday, 1.-The earnings
of the Atlantic and Pacific alone have
been $500, 900 more than for the same period
last year"
The sale of the Santa Fe may possibly be
interfered with in a measure by the United
States Trust Company, which holds Sl6,-
100000 worth, as trustees of the bonds of
the Atlantic and Pacific. Itasked the Fed
eral court about two months ago to appoint
separate receivers for the Atlantic and Pa
cItic, but the court refused. From that
grew an action by the trust company to
foreclose the first mortgage on this par
ticnlar road, and this suit is now pending

ALONG THE WATER FRONT.
A Fresh Southeaster Presages
Coming Winter Storms
and Disasters.
The Evandale's Sailing Delayed Owing
to Loss of Time in Shipping
Cargo.

A fresh southeaster stirred Up the bav
yesterday and several vessels were in i'm
minent peril OF going ashore. Tugs had to
be called into requlsltion, and number of
schooners had to be towed into Oakland
Creek to escape going on the rocks.
The Lurline, a sugar boat, and Rosario
Jared worst of all. The Rosario had lust
arrived from the Arctic. They were living
off the sugar refinery and the shippers
thought there was no danger. When the
gale came up, however, things were
changed, and in the case of the Rosario sig
nails of distress were soon hung out The
tug Sea King hurried to her aid and soon
the brig and schooner were in place of
safety.
The Clan Robertson at Howard No. 3
had lively time of it. The swell was so
great that all the mooring lines were car
ried away, and steel hawsers would not
hold the ship. New lines were put ont
and the vessel finally stood the strain.
The schooner Fortuna collided with the
whaler Alice Knowles. While the crew of
the latter placed all the blame on the For
tuna the crew of the schooner asserted
that the whaler was to blame and should
be compelled to pay the damages.
The tug Ida w had hold of the Fortuna
early in the morning, but as she had
trouble in handling her and the Sea King
was on the lookout for tow the latter
stepped in and towed both vessels To an
anchorage.
The Spreckels tug Active towed the
Lurllne and another sugar boat to Oakland
Creek.
The Kahului was being battered to
pieces by the southeast swell, SO change
had to be made. She was moved into the
stream, but when the wind and tide went
down she was put back in her old position.
Among the other unfortunates were the
barges Ludlow and Atlas The former
dragged her anchor and went adrift, while
the latter capsized in Mission Bay and her
oeckload OF lumber was scattered all along
the front. Both barges we're afterward
secured ana anchored at their old berths.
Inc river steamers Il. G. Walker.
Leader and Mary Garratt could not
discharge their cargoes, owing to the
swell FOR the same reason the sailing of
the Occidental and Oriental Company s
Evandale was put off twenty -four hours, to
eaten up on the freight offering. The
tramp will take away about 6O00 tons dead
weight ana probably 300 Chinese. She has
peen especially fitted out for the latter
business.
Affairs along the front were very quiet
yesterday, OWING to the rain. Shippers on
the south end were busy getting out extra
hawsers and the expectations of a gale
were universal. The barometer was fall
