THE GAS RATE FIGHT.
San Francisco Gas and Electric Com
pany Probably Controls the
SifuafiOu

To-day the Supervisors will take up and
consider the offer of the Mutual Electric
Light Company to light the City Hall at
a saving Of 40 per cent. The majority re-
port of the Finance Committee on the
matter Of lighting, which 1t is understood,
is satisfactory to the San Francisco Gas
and Electric Company will be read to-
day and the understanding that the San
Francisco Company is satisfied with the
report may be taken as evidence that the
adoption of the report will leave that cor
poration in control of the situation.
This presumption is strengthened by
the laying over of the report of Engineer
Hunt, who holds that the city, by operat-
ing its own electrical plant, can annually
save to the people the big sum OF $4,000,

A TE--BLoR AT SEA.
Felt on the Steamer Tacoma 200
Miles From Yokohama.

An earthquake shock of unusual dura-
ton and intensity, considering the depth
of water was reported by the steamer
Tacoma on her arrival at Yokohama
March 8. The following extract from a
letter from 2. II. Henig, third officer of
the steamer, to Charles H. Turner of the
United States branch photographed of
fee In this city gives the details, which
are of much scientific interest:
YOKOHAMA, March 3. 1899.
yesterday morning ] was quite sur
prised on the bridge in the watch on deck
by a heavy shock which was caused by
an earthquake At 1852 a. m, March 2.
in latitude SO degrees, 80 minutes sec
onds north and longitude 126 degrees q
minutes SO seconds east, we experienced
a quite heavy earthquake. The shock
and the vibration of the vessel lasted for
sixteen seconds. The barometer showed
at that time 3015, and during my watch
up to the shock the wind was very light
and from east-northeast. 1t quickly
shifted to east one-half south, increasing
but very little. At 100 a. m the wind
again returned to east-northeast. Force
was l. Temperature of water 81 degrees
Fahrenheit; of air 60 Fahrenheit.~ The
sea was very quiet and smooth, and the
formation of clouds Cirro-cumulus. The
shock was most heavily felt down In the
engine room, 1t lifting the engineer on
watch off his feet. On the bridge l felt
it most on the starboard side, the vessel
having a list to starboard. Your
friend, P. II. HENIG."

AN INFLUENCE MANIFEST.
Changes May Be Made in the Fed
eral Building Plans.

1t is very evident that some strong in
fiuence from the Pacific Coast has been at
work among the officeholders at Washing
ton. At least sudden change has taken
place in the mind of the supervising archl-
tect having under his charge the plans
and specifications of the new Federal
building. Some time ago these plans were
sent to this city with a view of letting
local contractors prepare their bids Tor
the work in the several departments or
the structure. The first snag struck was
on the construction of the floor IN the
proposed building The plans called for
a concrete floor throughout the building.
and at this the firm of Gladdlngi r McBean
& Co; made vigorous KICK, al hey tb en-
serted that the plans .preVented mem IN

hollow tile materials, and the concrete
men would have monopoly

by a letter dated the. goth inst. giving a
few of the reasons for the decision set
forth in the dispatch. In the meantime
other influences were brought to bear, and

WILLIAM O. BRADLEY GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY Who VIII Make
This City His Field of Operations

ties nearer his Kentucky home. But
some of the wise ones say Governor
Bradley is eminently qualified to attend
to his own affairs to the best advan-
tage. Governor Bradley knows Coils
p. Huntington.
The dispatches say that Governor
Bradley is now in the mountains of
West Virginia enjoying much-needed
and we'll deserved rest from his guber-
material Iabors. He has announced
that before he retur~e to take up his
official burden again he will visit San
Francisco and "size up the the situa
ton" What that may mean remains
to be seen. San Francisco has it's full
share Of able attorneys, and if Gov
ernor Bradley believes that he will be
able to "size" them up and take their
mental competitive caliber in the time
he has reserved for himself, 1t is more
than likely that after he has finished
his inquiry he will have another guess
coming. But Governor Bradley knows
Coils p Huntington, and Uncle Coils,
1t is said, is not altogether pleased with
his legal staff. It may be that Gov
ernor Bradley intends to make some
critical observations on the weather.
1t is said that chill has come into the
atmosphere in the neighborhood of
Market and Montgomery streets since
the adjournment of the Legislature at
Sacramento.
Governor Bradley does not intend to
resign his high office to come to San
Francisco. A step of such Importance
as the removal Of ones influence from
- n ctr ri +hnnco1ode Of
miles away demands elaboration, par
ticuIarly when one is as old as Gov
ernor Bradley He will not resign. but
will serve his term to its expiration in
December next. He will then favor US
with his permanent presence.
While Governor Bradley is not well
acquainted with many people in San
Francisco or in California it would be
a gross injustice to hir to say that he
IS unfamiliar with California affairs.
AS after Of fact, he is most thor
oughIy informed upon some of the
most important subjects that ever
aoitated the people of California. AS
Governor of Kentucky he became &C
ouainted with Coils P. Huntington and
that great creature of the railroad
magnate, the Southern Pacific Com
pany of Kentucky.
In his official capacity Governor
BRADLEY learned very quickly to know
what Huntington wanted and what he
did not want in the way of legislative
enactments. During his term of office
Governor Bradley became thoroughly
familiar with the efforts of the Ken
lucky Legislature to abrogate the
charter of the Southern Pacific Com
many of Kentucky 1t is matter of
eongratulation to him perhaps and of
thanks for Huntington that the railroad
r,agnate received what he wanted and
the charter was not forfeited Coy
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-03-27

railroad to pay it's just debts and back
taxes. There was stubborn legal
fight and one day Governor Bradley's
Attorney General. w. S. Taylor, com
promised with Huntington upon
basis that made the great heart of the
railroad magnate glad. This is why it
is that Governor Bradley may rank
Coils P. Huntington among his friends
and why Kentucky's Governor may
give San Francisco the best of it after
a critical observation of the city's in
adequacies.
With the prospect of such a distin-
guished addition to the legal frater-
nifty of San Francisco something of the
record of Governor Bradleys life may
not be uninterestine. 1t may be that
the Governor may give US a few new
points in the law governing railroads
with a particular application to the
Southern Pacific.
Governor Bradley was born in Ken
lucky in 1S47. At the age Of IA he en-
tered the Federal army and three years
later, by a special act of the Legisla-
ture of his native State, he was adj
mitted to the bar. The American sup
plement of the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA says he is a statesman. In 1870
he was elected a District Attorney and
in 1872 and 1876 he enjoyed the distinc-
ton of being defeated for Congress.
In 1880 he seconded the nomination of
U. S. Grant for President at the Chi
cago National Republican Convention.
President Arthur employed him to as
sist in prosecuting star route" thieves,
and in 1887 he ran for Governor of
Kentucky and was defeated. In 1895
he was elected Governor and on De-
cember 81 next his term will expire.
Shortly after his election he met Coils
P. Huntington and had the good for
tune to merit the good will and active
friendship Of the railroad magnate.

ernor Bradley, as already indicated, Is
a lawyer of marked ability, and Hunt
ington enjoys the reputation Of loving
those that love him. 1t is not improb-
able that Governor Bradley will find
the climate of San Francisco to his
liking.
During his term of office Governor
Bradley saw the people of Kentucky
making strenuous efforts to force
Huntington to pay his just taxes as
other people who do not enjoy the
friendships of Governors are compelled
to do. The Southern Pacific Company
of Kentucky had the same cOnscien-
tious scruples against paying its just
debts as the Southern Pacific Company
of this State Suits were instituted by
the authorities of Kentucky to force the

Improvement work on the Santa Fe
lines is now being pushed at more rapid
rate than probably ever before in the
history of the road. An unusually large
force of men are at work in the track
and bridge and building department, be-
sides the men employed in the contract
work.
The condition of affairs is directly the
result of the economy the management

taken up. and an effort is now being
made to carry out the work planned for
this year In the somewhat limited space
Of time
With the completion o. this years work
the Santa Fe proper will be in first class
shape. The main line will be practically
all of new steel, and a wooden trestle
will be almost a curiosity on the several
thousand miles of road. The principal
difficulty that is being experienced in the
wor is the remarkable scarcity of men.
While more are employed in these de-
partments than usual, there is demand
for still more.
