OSS SERIOUS PROBLEM AT SAN FRANCISCO Trade of the City Has Outgrown Capacity of Southern Pacific Company. SHIPS CANNOT DISCHARGE Business Revival Came On mi Rapid ly That the Transportaiion Com panies wern Caught Unprepared The Southern Pacific Company and the shippers of San Francisco are con fronted with a serious problem. The trade of the city has outgrown the1 railroad's equipment and the corpora-j tlon finds Iwolf face to face wUh thej fart that it lints not control rolling stock enough to move the merchandise for which the Interior of the mate Is clamoring. Shipload upon shipload of Importations consigned to tit ft ---rt-lit ; sections of the mate atv stored In j local ware ho UK's auaitliig the mil-1 roa Ts pl asure. Ther Is no longer a stagnation In mercantile affairs. The revival of traje came on so rapidly that the Southern Pacific Company ( finds Itself unible to handle the ;,-Teat volume of business that has been forced uimii It by the sudden and substantial business activity. The condition is a serious one and Is lamentably detrimental to the com mercial Interests of the city. Within1 the week thre det-p m-a vessels laden; with commodities for Interior s- ctlons have been towed away from the Oak laud wharf, unable to discharg their esrsiM's. When they were ready to unhaiten their hutches the railroad uftVinls Inform hI their acents that they would he unable for many days to supply th.-in with iars upon which to transport their goods. The result has been that the ships have lietn timed back Into the stream, and as soon as thy could find a berth on the Pan Fr.uiclsco side of the buy , they ,11m barged their cargoes, which have been carted away to the ware, hous-s. Gradually the accumulated merehaii d'se Is being moved to Its destination. A tar a day to this point and a car a day to tha-t Is the railroad's limit where the condition demand that a doien car wer necessary where the railroad Via only able to furnish but one. ' A prominent shipper states that he sent a ship to the railroad's Oakland wharf last week. It had a thousand tons of freight for the Interior which It wag almost Imperative to ship by Saturday. When an application was made for cars the railroad officials th"M"v up their handa and exclaimed that It would be almost Impossible to moe a pound of the cargo, for th" reason that there was hardly an avail ah car at their command. They ad- mlttol that trade had revived so rap-! Idly and increased in such volume th.it ttvy were totally unprepared to i handle the freight that was awaiting! shipment to the in'erlor. The ship was moved to this side of the bay and the railroad was pleaded with for any rolling stock that they could possibly put at the disposal of the shipper, and the very best that they could do was to move the cargo at the rate of one tar l'Wid a day, and this to the exclu sion of a doien other clamoring ship pers. At tills rate it will take nearly two weeks for the railmad to move the cargo, where ordinarily It should pot take as many days. The British ship Beacon Kxk en gaged a berth at the Oakland wharf las' week, but before she was taken over her agents were notified '.hat the railroad could not move a pound if her freight, and she discharged at the city. The Itritlsh ship Duchelbum and the German vessel Arthur Fitg r were tied up at the Oakland b. f re their officers learned that the railroad w.i. unable to handle their cargoes. Shippers !ok upon the present con ditions as extremely annoynig. And while it indicates the rapid approach of better times much of the advan tage to the city will be loet unless better I'acllitles for moving freight are provided at once. The consumers of ih- Interior demand it and the mer chants of the ejty must have it In or der to hold their trade. under the laws of New Jersey, and will 'eventually operate a steamship line between New Tork. San Francis co and Honolulu. Four steamers have already been ordered for the service by Hint Co., of 8,500 tons capacity dead weight, and these boats. It Is ex pected, will be In operation about April or May next. Meantime the company will operate sailing vesels and will, as a matter of fact, continue to opTate sailers In addition to steamships, when the demand warrants It. Flint & Co. owned sixteen large clipper ships, and took over the business of the Sut ton line when Mr. Sutton died about four years ago.

It Is the Latest Innovation Proposed for PostotTW Boxes. Washington Times. There ar more than H00) of the people's money locked up in pustofflce keys, each and every keyholder being renuired to put up with the postmaster a depit for his key, the amount de posited being returned when the box Is given up and rent ptid. Postmasters are required to keep a strict account of the key deposit fund, while the P"tfflce department here has a regu lar division sot apart for keeping this ace .mm. As a p.wtai official puts it. then- Is a great deal of trouble and no money in the transactions, and the final outcome of the trial of the key less locks which are to be tried In the principal olllcs of the country is eagerly looked for. The department haji long wanted a keyless lock, but none of the lock Inventions until the present was regarded as In any way calculau-d to ppve acceptable. Con tracts have been made for a supply of the new locks, which will first be tried in New York. Boston, Philadel phia.

These offices will be fitted out as soon as the factory can complete the making of the bx s. If they prove In every way satisfac tory to the department and to the pa-, irons they will be placed In offlcs throughout the country, but not to the entire exclusion of the lock boxes.
