A FOR REFUEE OR FOR COMMERCE? Difference of Opinion as to What San Pedro Har- bor Should Be. Some Important Documents Re- ceived From Secretary Alger by M. M, Estee. It Is Claimed That Congress Neg-| leoted to Make the Necessary Appropriations. A letter from General Russel A. Alger, Secretary of War, together with a number ot documents which were received yester- day afterncon by the Hon. M. M. Estee, go a long way toward explaining why the work on the new harbor at Sun Pedro has been so long delayed. Mr. Aiger was of the opinion that the | wording of the act providing for the im- provements did not give him full authority to let the contracts and begin the work, so he placed himself in communication witn | Norman Lieber, Judge-Advocate General Mr. Lieber is as Mr. | for the War Department. very much of the same opinion Alger on the matiter, who believes Con- gress has not made it ef clear as to whether the total appropriation of $2 900.- 000 should be exvended in tha building of a harbor of refuge or breakwater, leaving the harbor for commn:erce for some future | | time, or if both should be constructed or. | { the same appropriation and at the same time. .

Golden is badiy burned about the head, face and breast, ana will die. Kelly is seriously burned about the head and face, but, notwithstanding his injuries, the surgeons at the hospital believe that he will recover. The explosion, it is believed, was due to a defect in the steam generator. It is situated in tne basement and shortly before 8 o'ciock last night both men examined i1t. It was found to be all | right,and they proceeded with their work. About an hour later there was un ex- piosion followed by the hissing of hot Steam. Golden was overcome by the steam and tell to the floor in an appar- enily dying condition. Although severely burned by the escap- ing steam Kelly managed to crawl to the door, where he loudly shouted for help. Several men who were in the factory went | to their assistance, and realizing the.r serious condition they at once summoened th: ambulance. The unfortunate men were subse- quentiy removed to the Receiving Hos- pital and caron oil poured over their burns. Drs. Bunnell and Kearney, who attended them, gave their opinion that Golden could not live. Kelly, who is about 35 vearsof age, went to work in tha factory vesterday. “I have been out of work for some time,” ne remarked, “and learning that they needed a man in the factory I ap- plied for the place. I was put to work and shortly before the explosion I de- tected steam escaping from the generator. I calied Golden's attention 10 it and we both made an examination. We failed to find anything wrong with it and we re- wurned to work. Shortly afterward the generator exploded, enveloping us in steam.” Removals. A dispatch from Washington states that President McKinley holds that his amend- ment of July 27, 1897, to rule 2 of the civil service rules applies to reductions of ratinuzs as well as to removals. The amerndment to which reference is made provides that no civil service em- | ploye shall be discharged without first | tiling written charges arainst him and | ffording him ten days’ time in which to | muke a defense, | I'he application of this rule to reduction | in rank has created quite a stir in civil service circles here as well as in other It is held by the President that changing an employe from one position at a given salary to another position at a lower salary is on the same basis as a removal, and tuat charges must be ftiled and a defense allowed in tiose cases as well as other ————— DURRANT'S EXECUTION.

Libelous Statements Regarding the Proj:ctors of the Sierra Railroad Specifically Denied by Contractor Er ckson. Like the Vermont politician who incurred the displeasure of one of his con- stituents by his peculiarity, the Examiner has the facuity of knowing too many The public hus bad many instances of that paper’s ability in that line, but little things like specific denials and proofs of misrepresentations do not deter the fuker from springing new fairy tales on its readers. The latest effort in this line appeared 1n the issue of yesteraay morning, when glaring headlines and a sensational story announced the alleged fact that the projector: of the Sierra railroad were 10 trouble with the sub-contractors. Charles Erickson, the contractor in ques- tion, in the following letter adds one more to the long list of that puper’s misrepre- senlations: | SAN FRANCisco, November 24, 1897. | To the Fditor of The Call—DEAR SIR: 1see in lo-day’s Examiner asiatement that I had filed | alien on the Sierra Railway Company of California, and that Prince Poniatowski was in- | debted to me in the sum of $62,000 and had refused to pay the same. There is not a particle of truth in these statements. The facts are these: Ientered into a contract with the West Coast Construction Company | to grade the Sierra Railway of Californis, and there becume due to me by reason of said grading aud werk done on the roud a large sum of money irom the West Coast Construction Company, and not from Prince Poniatowski, as stated in the Examiner. The matter has been in course of adjustment several days, and no lien has been iiled on the road. The settlement of this account involved many intricate matters of accounting, and the same has been practically agreed upon and wili be shorily paid.
