we expected and as the bonds had been
issued we had to pay $4,000 interest on
them before there was any return in
earnings by the new steamers But
that, of course could not we'll have
been anticipated.
"Then we wanted money to put in
new boilers and otherwise repair the
Mariposa and the Alameda. Instead Of
borrowing the money from a bank or
in open market, we borrowed 1t from
the stockholders by passing dividends.
why the stockholders should not be
satisfied 1 cannot understand, for they
now have the property, the two steam
ers being as good as new. Some have
said that the company should not have
paid dividends so long as 1t did. The
company was making the money and
there was no good reason why 1t should
not be paid to the stockholders in divi-
denS."

WILL NOT BUY OCEANIC.
John ID. Spreckels Denies That Any
Deal Has Been Made.

SAN FRANCISCO, April I6.-Those
interested in the business of the Oceanic
Steamship Company have been indulge
ing In much gossip concerning that or
ganization. principally because of the
recent assessments levied on the stock.
one or the latest bits OF gossip in this
connection is that several of the direc-
tors and heavy stockholders are anxious
TO unload their holdings and for this
purpose held meeting to devise ways
and means OF so doing. 1t was agreed,
according to the wise ones, that there
should be an industrious circulation of
reports that the stock of the Oceanic
company was to be purchased by the
Santa Fe Railroad, which report was
expected to bull the stock and permit
the holders to realize at a profit.
when President John d. Spreckels
was asked regarding this report he said
that he had not even heard of the rum
or that the Santa Fe was to buy the
stock.
There is absolutely nothing in the
rumor," said Mr.. Spreckels yesterday.
Neither my brother nor myself who
hold nearly half the stock has been
approached by any person relative to
the sale Of stock. The stock has prac-
tically cost the holders nothing. They
paid $12 share for 1t and have re-
ceived ss6 in dividends. 80 they are
really $25 ahead.
why there should be such a slump
In the Oceanic stock I cannot under
stand. We had to have money to build
the new ships and we issued bonds for
$2,6OO,OOO. We could not issue bonds for
any larger amount under the law, for
that Is the amount OF our capitalization.
The construction of the new steamers
was delayed eight months more than

An ACETYLENE LIGHTHOUSE.
From The Shipping World.

From The Shipping World
During the months OF April and Nav 1890
some experiments were tried on the value OF
acetylene in a small light of the sixth order at
one OF the batteries guarding the entrance of the
harbor of Genoa. These having proved very
satisfactory, the Italian Minister OF Marine sug-
gested that the inventor of the apparatus should
repeat them on larger scale at the first rate
light of La Lanterna, the principal light of
Genoa Harbor. The test was to be carried out
at the inventors own expense who had to guar
antee better illumination than that given by the
petroleum burners of the lighthouse and a. con-
stant light without smoke or interruption for
fifteen hours at a time The offer was accepted
An apparatus with four separate generators was
installed, and for period OF 900 hours or 100
days of ten hours each, during October to Janu-
ary of last winter the lighthouse was worked
with the new gas without the slightest diff
Guilty. AT distance of forty nautical miles from
Genoa is the electrical light of Tino and II was
observed that while the Tino light could never
be seen at Genoa, the Genoa acetyene light was
visible at Tino. 1t is also stated that the annual
cost of maintaining the electrical installation OF
Tino is $4,000 francs, whereas. from the expert
ence gained at Genoa, 1t could evidently be sup
nlied with acetylene for 1.200 francs year
