The moderate resolution that the tea fmporters of San Francisco have sent to the Secretary of the Treasury in refer- ence to the sampling of all tea at New York is only a faint indication of the mc- tual state of feeling here. More communi- cations will yet appear and the entire Congressional delegation from California will take an interest in seeing that the obnoxious order s set aside, or 8o modi- fled that the tea examiners at San Fran- cisco, Chicago and St. Paul shall not be supervised by New York. The resolution of the local tea importers was published in The Call yesterday. That simply re- quested the Secret of the Treasury “‘to order the New York examiner to send four ounces of all teas passed by him to each of the exam! hicago and San sald examiners be in- to scrutinize the samples sent the same manner as the New is to do with the samples \im from other ports.” Francisco anc structed arles B. Platt, the Pacific Coast | member of the United States board of ten experts and vice president of J. A Folger & Co., sald rday: *“As the matier now is the tea examiner in w York is to exercl his judgment Ir- respective of what -may be the judgment of any other or all the tea examiners of the United concerning the samples that shall be brought before the members of the experts In New York. The fact simply remains that the tea examiner at San Francisco and those at other points must send a sample of each line of tea sassed by him to the New York exam- Faer, and is therefcrs mply under sur- nce and there no other word to describe it.

I cannot understand how it ie possible to expect the New York examiner to select samples passed on by himself to send to the board of experts, which might be on the doubtful line, or which he thought would render him liable to criticlsm. This would seem to be asking too much from human nature. “The statistical data given me shows that during the fiscal year ending June 30, 15%, about & per cent of all teas imported Points | n will have the effect of relieving the | s of the tea importers of San Fran- | to the United States came In through the port of New York.

This is simply a matter of justice.” While the present rule stands the Board of Tea Experts will, as a whole, remain {n ignara the reports of the New York tea examiner until the next annual meet- ing of the hoard of experts. — —_— SMALLPOX CAMP DESERTED. | The smallpox camp at the Presidlo s again deserted.

Sl Al Mayor Phelan went to the water front | during the lunch hour yesterday and ad- dressed a large crowd of workingmen at f the Mail dock. When he asked for the | opinfons of those who were in doubt re- | Barding any of the points upon which he ),}!! ere Was no response, but a chee ayor directed his remarks mostly the criticisms of the opponents of handle extension. He deprecated emupt made in Southern Pacific s to make it app that there is | some politica motive underlying this bond campalign. ‘Some of the arguments put forth by the rallroad’s mouthniece are 0 transparent that it would be folly to waste time in replying to them.” sald the Mayor. The railroad’s opposition is all in a nutshell. If the people of the Mis- sion ve a park and have music on Sun- e residents of that section will not | have to pay 10 cents to go to Golden uate | Park. If the people wish to walk or ride | through a beautiful extended panhandle they will also nou be required to pay their dimes. There is the whole cause of the railroad’s opposition—it hates to those dimes and to pay its share for im provements. By way of relief, it abuses all those who favor any public improve- ment or do anything except grant addi- tional franchises gratis to corporations.” a meeting was also held at the | wire works and was add d y Col- onel Hecht and P. H. McCart - Concerts in Five Parks. The executive committee of the Central Improvement Clubs proposes to give the citizens of this city an object lesson on progression to-day. The weather prophet has promised to hold off rain and bad weather, and the desire of the committee | thus attr | these | | good | contended that large numbers should con- gregate every Sunday and holiday, when- ever health and business will permit. To ct there must be something at aces of more than usual inter- nd the committee believes that noth- will draw the people out as much as music. Many are not able to at- tend the concerts In Golden Gate Park, and so music has been provided for the rks and squares that are most central- Iy located. ‘he committee has engaged bands of twelve pleces to play this afternoon from | 1:30 to 4:30 p. m. at the Mission Park, op- posite the Girls' High School on Eight- 1th street: at Union Square Park, Post Third; Columbia Square, Folsom street, near Sixth, and at Washington Square. Unfon and ‘Stockton streets. The object lesson will be attained if the attraction of d musjc at _the city’s breathing places draws .out the peopie and makes them realize that a part of a day spent in a public para is more profitably occu- pled than in musty or ill-ventilated rooms, or indoors at all. Open Letter to Citizens. The following open letter was {ssued to voters yesterday: To the Citizens of San Francisco: The | election for park bonds is of great impor- tance, and hence we make a special appeal to all' interested in the future of San Fran- clsco to remember that the acquisition of these lands will complete our park system, add to the beauty and attractiveness of our city and give its metropolitan growth a :1: Because He Refused to Keep Off the Sidewalk He Was Arrested as an Obstructionist. 404040+ 04O+ 040404040 + 040+ 0O +040+0+0 040+ 0+0+040 4040404040 + 0+ 0404040+ C+0+0+ 040404040+ HE STI A.

In his stilts he stands over nine feet, and as his trousers covered them and he had false shoes attached to the bottom of each stilt and walked with ease, some people imagined that he was some glant reared in the backwoods. Yesterday afternoon he was walking along the north side of Market street, between Mason and Taylor, followed by a crowd of youngsters. The sldewalk wis packed with shopping people and the boys got in their way. Captain Splllane happened to pass at the time, and told Miller to keep off tho sidewalk and do his walking on the roadway, where he would not annoy pe- He obeyed, and the captain instructed Policemen Burke and Tra- cey to see that he kept on the roadway. the captain was out of sight he walked back to the sidewalk, followed by the boys. Burke and Tracey pounced upon him and marched him to the City Prison, where he was charged with obstructing the sidewalk. Miller was harnessed to his stilts, and before he could enter the door of the prizon he had to be unharnessed by the watched by an admiring crowd. When Miller descended from his lofty perch he was seen to be below the average size, standing about 5 feet 7 inches. He waited in the prison for about an hour till some one called and put up $10 ball Desk Sergeant Lindheimer had given him permission to take , but Captain Spillane happened to meet him as he was leaving the prison, and he made him take back the stilts, and they were booked as evidence against him.

Caraher, R;berl Martin and peal SANTA CLAUS VISITS THE KIP ORPHANAGE LITTLE TOTS MADE HAPPY BY A BIG CHRISTMAS TREE. | Lady Managers Provide Generous | Entertainment for Children Upon Whom Dame Fortune Has | Not Smiled. | More than a hundred little folks, whom | the dreaded reaper deprived of the foster- ing care that nature had destined to gulde them through life, had a bright ray of sunshine break through the clouds yes- terday at the Marfa Kip Orphanage. A tree was prepared for the parentless inmates that would have glad- | dened the heart of any youngster. Ther was not alone the tree, with all its glis tening decorations and strings of popcorn, | | laughing jumping-jacks and other things 80 inseparable to the yuletide festivities, but heaped around it were great piles of presents for the little ones upon whom | Dame Fortune had not lavished her smiles. | The lady managers of the institution state that Santa Claus has been unusually | good to the orphanage this year. From | all quarters came donations for (he Christmas celebration, and as a conse- quence the joy of the unfortunate little ones was far beyond expectations. | A great big tree was placed in the main | Ves(flzule of the orphanage. It reached to | the celling, and a few feet of the top had to be cut off so that it could be placed upright. The board of managers outdid themselves in the preparations for the fes. tivities. They took entire charge of the decoration of the tree, and their work was nobly performed. Briefly, the tree was a gem. But few exercises preceded the distribu- tion of the presents. Four companies of the old children sang Christmas carols as they marched from the dormitories to the Christmas tree. One of the most touching features of the occasion was the exhibi- tion by the nursery contingent. The diminutive tots sang one or two pretty carols, and then their joy at the scene that confronted them conquered discipline and they broke from the ranks and ran about the Christmas tree in childish ec- stasy. ov. W. I, Kip was th t | Rev. e master of cere- monies and distributed the Christmas gifts | to the children. It was through the ef- forts of the board of managers that many liberal donations were made. The board consists of: Miss Carrie Gwin, Mrs, W, 8. Wood, Mrs. Themas P. Woodward, Miss Mary Heath, Mrs. Sidney Worth. Mrs. R. B. Sanchez, Mrs. George H. Buckingham Mrs. P. L Asbury, Mis v G. C.

Ivan Deniszewicz, the Russian who com- mitted sulcide last Friday night at 278 Minna street by taking carbolic acid, was well to do in the world’s goods, according to the story told at the inquest yesterady afternoon by his friend, Alexander Murat, | a Russian barber, residing in the same house. Murat said he met the deceased in New York City about a Jear ago and that they came to this city about eight months ago. Ivan owned $20,00 worth of property in Kurst, Russia, ‘and had a large sum of money in the New York Bank of Savings. Among his effects was a bank book with 3100 to his credit. The reason he ieft Russia, ne stated to his friend Murat, was family trouble. and he appeared to be brooding over his troubles, whatever they were.
