Acting Mayor Gallagher of San Fran
cisco declares there shall be no vigi-
lance committee and no lynching in
San Francisco If he and the police
force are unable to prevent daily mur-
ders, or attempted murders, by single
criminals, how can he prevent good
citizens in hundreds of thousands from
lynching those criminals if they catch
them? Perhaps some Of the purblind
members of the police force may be
among the first to be lynched.-Stock-

If Acting Mayor Gallagher and his
associates wish TO abate the agitation
in favor of a committee of safety for
San Francisco, they should do less
talking and take more energetic action
against the thug element. The police
department of the afflicted city is now
virtually on trial. 1t is even under
suspicion of offenses graver than that
of inefficiency. One or two more crimes
of violence with well-known people as
victims will fire the public indignation
of San Francisco to a point where in

and an authority created to meet the
grave emergency confronting respect
able citizenry.-Stockton Record.

Electrical Manufacture of
Steel in Austria.

~ ONSUL URBAN ]. LEDOUX re-
4 ports from Prague that Austrian
J papers are discussing the intro
duction of the Kjellin process in
the manufacture Of steel by the Poldi-
hutte, at Kladno, Bohemia, in concert
with the Oberschlesische Eisenindus-
trie- -Gesellschaft, which process, says
the Prague Tagblatt, may bring about
a complete revolution in the Austrian
steel indsutry. Continuing. the Prague
Tagblatt says:
That such steps may be leading to
vastly important results may easily be
realized when it is considered that the
Kjellin process yields an excellent
steel said to be fully equal to the best
crucible steel, while the cost of pro-
duction is considerably lower than with
the mode of production so far in use.
The Kjellin product, however apart
from its lower cost, is further praised
for Its ductility, density, homogeneous
ness, softness, the possibility of OBJ
tanning high degrees of carboniferous
quality, and, finally, for its excellent
magnetic properties. If these sur
mises-as appears highly probable
should be proved by facts, all under
takings which have at their disposi-
ton the primary requisite for the
adaptation of the electric process viz.
cheap electric power by means of suf-
ficiently strong water power, will Sc
cure a great advantage over other
works. Chief Engineer V. Engelhardt,
in his work on the Kjellin process,
states that it can compete with the
Siemens- Martin method, where the
kilowatt hour can be put down at
about a half cent

oBEYED THE GENERALS ORDER.

General Sherman once possessed an
Irish servant whose forte was asking
questions and trying to find out the
why and wherefore of everything he
was told to do. During battle an
orderly one day approached the general
and told him that his favorite horse,
Ross, had been struck by a cannon ball
and killed.
Calling his Irish servant the general
said. go skin Ross"
why, sir, is Ross dead7" began the
man.
General Sherman rose up IN his wrath.
saying: Never mind whether he is dead
or mott told you to go out and skin
him"
The man returned about three hours
later and Sherman hailed him with the
words: Where have you been? Does
it take you three hours to skin a
horse?"
NO" answered Mike, "but it took me
about two hours to catch him."-Chi-

there has been constantly increasing

slightly below that of preceding years.
Prior to 1898 the entire production

For several years the problem of a
water supply for the gold fields was
most difficult to solve, for in that ter
ritory, about 400 miles from Perth, the
capital of the State, there are no riv-
ers, few natural supplies of surface
water and the rainfall is light The
vital Importance of overcoming this
difficulty was recognized by the State,
and some idea of the magnitude of the
undertaking may be formed by the cost
of the construction, which amount
ed to over S15,000,000. In 1896 the
Premier of the State obtained the ap-
proval of the Legislature to an expen-
diture of $12,500,000 for the provision
of a supply of 100000 gallons of
water a day. The work was ener-
getically pushed and brought to a sue
cessful completion in 1903. The supply,
which is now regarded as adequate TO
the demands of the gold fields, is
pumped 351 miles.
Fully $4,000 men are engaged in
mining, and the wages paid are suf-
f1ciently high to induce first-class
miners to remain permanently en-
ployed. In the gold fields the value of
mining machinery in use amounts to
approximately s20,0O0.O00, and there
have been erected about 1000 stamps.
These figures show concIusively the
splendid industry that has been built
up, and all conditions now point to a
continuance of the prosperous condi-
tions.

LIGHT COMMITTEE
THOUGHT To Be
IN PRED|CAMENT

When the committee on street lighting
was recently authorized TO make new
contract with the WeLsbach Street Light
Ing company for street gas lights at re-
duced rates. it was then the belief OF the
committee that this company was the
only one that desired such a contract
Suddenly, up popped a representative
OF the American Street Lamp and supply
company of New York. who asked that
his company be allowed 10 bid for the
contract. as IL could give better service
and lower rates
The committee thought then that II had
nothing TO do then but 10 advertise for
bids
Since then some OF the members of the
committee have realized that they were
directly authorized TO make contract
with the Welsbach company, and they
say that therefore they see no reason
why they should advertise for bids. -
At the meeting tomorrow afternoon the
matter will be thoroughly discussed.
The Welsbach company is an old one
and has contracts with large number
OF cities The other company is not well
known here, and II is stated that Il now
has no contracts with other cities
III is claimed that II will undertake 10
furnish light OF greater power and con-
suming more gas than the Welsbach COM
pany and yet will do II for lower price:
and the council committee seems TO be
up against a rather stiff proposition. IN
which there may be possibilities not yet
generally apparent.
