The Wharf Question.

Mayor Bliss has taken the bull by the horns in the matter of the Florida Blanca street wharf. which he and O.. L. Bass are building under a franchise granted twenty-five years ago and which committee of the city council recommended should be declared void on the ground that the franchise expir- ed yesterday, and has virtually defied the council to abrogate what he con- siders his rights in the premises. He takes the position that politics are at the bottom of the fight that Is being waged against him and stated to your representative today that had the fran chise been secured by some of those who are pitted against him In the fight. no action would have been taken in the premises. If the council holds to its expressed determination to oust the mayor from the wharf privileges a lively law suit will be the outcome and the mayor says he stands pat on the question of his rights to build a wharf at the end of Florida Blanca street Considerable interest is mani fested in the outcome of the fight and "Bliss Wharf" was the mecca of numerous sightseers during yester- day and today.

LETTER FROM BLISS
PENSACOLA MAYOR TO THE WATER
 WORKS COMPANY.
Executive Demands That the Contract Pressure, I5O Pounds to the Square Inch. Be Furnished
 The City.

Pensacoia, April 27.--(special. )--May- or Bliss is hot on the trail of the Pensacola Water Company and today made public letter written to that concern demanding that 1t furnish wa ter for fire protection in accordance with charter specifications. viz press ure of 150 pounds to the square inch The mayor is very explicit Tn ms de- mands and says that if the charter provisions are not complied with he will insist that the contract has been violated and will ask that it be formal ly abrogated. The bonds which were voted for public improvements provide for a water works system owned by the city and there has been some talk of the city purchasing the plan of the Pensacola Water Company. This prop -osition has met with considerable c"- position on the ground that the Wa ter works were out of date and that the mains had deteriorated to such an ex- tent as to be practically worthless.

seixure of Fishinw Smack.

The seizure of the fishing smack Sal- lie Stearns oy the Mexican govern ment, which was reported to the own CTS, Warren and Company, of this city yesterday, was topic of more than ordinary interest among those connect ed with the fishing industry during the day. While full advices relative to the matter have not been received 1t is the general impression that the smack was seized for fishing inside of the three mile limit. The matter has been taken up with the United States consul Progresso, where the seizure was made. and also with the state department, through Senator S. R. Mal- lory. Mexican consul Diaz, of this city, while without advices relative to the matter, states that the seizure should act as a warning to American vessels not to violate the Mexican maritime laws. He further states that the mat ter willy probably come up before the district court in Merida, Yucuatan, foI adjudication.

The McAfee Case .

The meAfee case.
 The celebrated McAfee case is again before the courts A reference is be- ing taken before Register Altman. in the Chancery Court, for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the as- signee should prosecute a suit for something like s6.000,000 against the Atlanta and Birmingham Air Line Railroad. A number of claimants against the defunct construction conn pany, the McAfee Company. are op- posed to the payment of $2,500 to at- torneys for bringing the suit
 The style of the case is W. H. Me- Afee, assignee, versus the McAfee Com pany. The original suit in chancery was brought for the purpose of bring ing all claims against the company into court. In this manner the assignee de- sired to adjust all accounts. After due time all claims were filed. some of which were passed upon favorably, while the assignee took exceptions to others. The exceptions in a number of instances were allowed by the chan ceilor.
 Recently the assignee filed a suit in the Circuit Court for over $6,000. .000 for alleged damages. it being claimed that the Atlanta and Birmingham Rail- road had violated a contract with the company to build certain section oi Tor bringing this suit, the attorney: fled bill against the assignee fol s2,50o to be paid out of the availabl, funds. It was pointed out to some oi the claimants that 8 victory meant z great deal of money with which al claims could be paid. Some of tn, claimants, however, were satisfied witi what they had in sight and were op posed to going to the additional ex pense of bringing suit.
 With view of determining whether or not tho assignee should pay the at torneys for instituting and prosecuting the suit the chancellor ordered a ref erance

Special Contracts

This company built UP It's business
largely by writing so-called special or
board contracts. and the present ex-
pense Of such contracts IS quite large;
but the time of those boards begins
running out this year, and the expense
incident to them will begin to decrease.
I find that the contracts have been
carried out exactly according to their
terms. and that there Is a remarkable
persistence in the membership OBJ
tained By these contracts.
