FRISCO A HOST AGAIN
First Hotel Since Fire Is Operated for
Benefit of City. .~7@

San Francisco, July 24.-.Qne Of the
most striking examples Of the public
spirit that has characterized the re-,
building Of San Francisco was shown
in the opening yesterday Of the st.
Francis Annex. III r z~..N.. .....
Altho a temporary structure, this
first Of San Francisco's new hotels is
fitted with every modern. convenience
and will afford the traveller the same
luxury Of service that was formerly
obtained in the famous st. Francis.
A peculiar interest is attached to this
enterprise in that the hotel is situated
in the center of San Franciscoss ia,
nous tropical park, Union square, and
that permission for this site was OBJ
tanned from the board. Of park commits
sioners on the ground that it was the
broadcast civic policy to; make It imme..
diately possible For the better class of
travellers to visit the city and to enjoy
every comfort to which they were ac-
customed. :
In return; fol-. this privilege the ho-
tel company is pledged to turn over to
the city all profits returned from the
operation of the hotel, these profits to
be used for the future improvement of
the park.
This is probably the only case on rec
ord Of a hotel built and operated on pri-
waite capital for the benefit OF the city.

8.H0UR LAW HITS
WAR DEPARTMENT
Death Knell for System of Con-
tract Work in New
Order.

Washington, July 24.-The applica-
ton Of the presidents order relative to
the enforcement of the eight-hour law
in the case Of government contract
work, has proven more difficult in the
case Of the war department, owing to
it's more complex machinery, than with
the navy department. So it has been
culars of instruction to the agents Of
the department engaged in different
lines of work, all differing in some es-
sential. The order issued by Brigadier
General Crozier, chief of ordnance,
reads as follows: :
uThe secretary of war has decided
that it shall be the duty Of officers of
this department. to use their powers to
prevent the violation by contractors Of
Aug. /, 1892, relating to the Limitation
of hours Of daily service Of laborers
and mechanics employed upon the pub
lie works.
Sounds Death Knell.
The opinion among the executive Of
ficers who have to do with public works
president eight hour order will sound
the death knell Of the whole system Of
government contrac,' work and that
Hereafter the government will be
obliged to hire its own labor and car
~ on the public works under its own
superintendent and inspectors, :
The contractors are now working In
keen competition with the government
in many places, and it Is said are bare
ly holding their own. The application
Of the eight-hour law, according to. ex:
ecutive officers here. will oblige them
to do one Of two things: increase the
price of their bids for government work
to point beyond the government esti
mates, in which case the. department
would do the work itself, or reduce the
wages of the laborers and mechanics
to make their productive capacity cor
respond dollar for dollar to their en-
ployees engaged on private work at ter
hours per day.
