I do not know anything about Esola, but the immense opposition to his selection should have been enough to cause his withdrawal at the outset. This has been a bad mess all around. If, as has been stated, the Mayor attempted to force Esola’s election, he made a mistake. % If he made a compact before the municipal election to make this man Chief of Police, it is worse still. I am not convinced that the Mayor did any of these things, but if he did it is very bad. Until I get proof satisfactory to me I will be a supporter of Mr. Phelan. This whole affair is to be very deeply regretted, as it will make it hard to get a decent man to run for Mayor in the future. All boards or commissions appointed should be left to act as their % judgment dictates. Of course, the Mayor, being the responsible head of the municipality, should have the privilege of recommending, but he should not attempt to force the appointment of any bad or in- \ at all Sevmour dared to say is | had a Trallroad ticket, not a pasg, although Seymour. says Biggy told him that Senator (now Attorney General) | Ford had given him the ticket. | Ford-. denies point t he ever gave Biggy a rallroad 1 his life.

The action of the trustees was indorsed by the meeting and they were elected members of the committee that was formed. No one wished to ask Mr. Smith any questions after his statement, which was long and circumstantial. The assets consist of stock, fixtures and bills receivauie, the last item amounting to $14,000. Mr. Smith set forth in his statement that the trou. ble was caused by the unexpected action of the bank and by large expenses. —_——— December and May to Marry.

He said that a man about 35 years of age, 8!X feet tall and weighing 150 pounds had called his attention to the body.

'S0 far as the War Department was in- formed by General Otis, no officers or en- listed men were on board the Manauense when she left Manila. Her officers und crew were furnished by her owners, and the relatives of some of these men have been writing to the department asking if it has any information as to the vessel's whereabouts. It Is known at the ccpari- ment that her machinery was not in good condition, and it is considered possible that her engines may have broken down and the ve: been blown out of her course, and that only temporary repairs could be made, necessitating slow steam- 8 ing. ‘f‘he department is inexpressibly glad that, although the Manauense had such a trying experience on her way to Mauila, she reached that port safely, as she had a regiment of soldiers aboar: In case the vessel reaches San Francisco the depart- ment will decline to pay any claim that her owners may present for the return voyage, but will be willing to compromise on a basis of the time she would have made had she been i good condition.

At noon yesterday there was not a ship in sight from the Merchants’ Exchange lookout station, but three hours later the offing was crowded with vessels. This state of affairs was due to a change of wind. At noon it was blowing twelve miles an hour from the east at Point Lobos, but at 8 p. m. it had shifted around to the northwest and the fleet came alonz. At that hour there were three barks not made out, the bark Levi G. Burgess, the schooners Vine and Daisy Rowe, the hark- entines Leslie D and Monitor, the steam- er.Sequola, the overdue British ship Re- liance and the ship Ancyra, from Portland for’ Europe. The latter vessel sailed on January 20 with 80,142 centals’ of wheat, valued at $72,000. The Ancyra, Captain Stuart, put into this port for repairs as the result of a col- liston. On Janu: 29, at 1:45 a m., In lati- tude 37 north, longitude 126:3) west, the ship. was In collision with the British bark Heathfield, from Newcastle, N. 8. W, for San Francisco. The bark struck the ship In the stern and stove it in, and also carried away the stearing gear. Captain Frazer of the Heathfleld stood by until repairs were made, and then escorted the disabled vessel to port. The bark had her head gear carrled away, started - her stem and stove in two plates in her bows. Later in the day the brig W. G. Irwin ‘from Honolulu, the barkentine Quickste] from the Sound and the British barl Heathfield hove in sight and made port during the night. The Irwin was placed in quarantine and will not be released for several days. The Reliance was 207 days coming from Hamburg, and has been for nearly a fort- night off port. She was caught in the October storms off the Horn and as she was not heard from for many months after that the rate of reinsurance on her went as high as 20 per cent. On Jauuary 30 she was thirty miles southwest of the Farallones, and at 3 p. m. yesterday she was stlll ten miles off shore. The Chilean ship Hindostan, which put #n here in distress on January 8, will sail lor Caldera and Valparaiso in a few day: The transport Ohio arrived from Man via Nagasaki yesterday.

Siminoff, Davidson and Meyer Brotheis sent a committee to Oakland yesterday to enlist the sympathy and assistance of the leading cloak dealers of-that city. -The result was gratifying beyond expectations, and all orders will be discontinued until the matter is fairly adjusted. The Oak- land dealers expressed considerable as- tonishment when informed that no ques- tion of hours or wages was involved, but that the men were locked out for refusing to abandon their organization. Kahn Brothers expressed indignation at the | t‘!}'xealmenlld(hexmen had received and hoped ey would win. M);n Pennoyer of the firm of Taft & Pen- ‘noyer withholds all future orders until the affair is adjusted. The Columbia and the London and Paris deal only with fair cloak houses, and consider the action of the three firms as an outrage perpetrated on the employes with the ulterior purpose of “introducing slum production.

BIGGY RAIDS "CHAMBERS OF TRANQUILLITY" Revolting Discoveries Made. P S LA Acting Chief of Police Biggy, Captain Wittman and Policeman P. J. Butler raid- ed the “‘Chambers of Tranquillity” at- tached to the Chinese undertaking estab- lishments last evening, and before they had concluded their night's labors some incredible and revolting discoveries were made. As a result the barbarous custom of bringing sick® Chinese to these places and possibly murdering them later, that the undertaker may collect his fee with as little expense as possible, ‘will be a thing of the past. The practice of mak- ing a post mortem investigation into the cause of Mongolian deaths and upon the strength of the stories told by the under- takers, and without an autopsy the sign- ing of death certificates, will also be stopped. Lying ‘on a bunk in the “‘Chamber of Tranquillity,” a_part of the undertaking | place of Wing Sun’at 819 Clay street, was the body of Tom Quong Chong, a Mon- golian who had sought thé shelter of the dead ‘house after he had become feeble with disease and had. been - deserted by his friends. He walked Into the shop on the last day of January, and was later given .a cot in the mysterious chamber on which he expired 'a short time afterward. The cause of his death has.not yet beef determined, but Dr: F. B. Wilson, Assist- ant City Physictan, who receives a fee of $3 for every certificate of death issued to Chinese, called yesterday, and after mak- ing an examination of the body and ques- tioning the Chinese - proprietor of the place, who informed him that the sick man had coniplained of .palns . in. the stomach, signed a certificate stating that to the best of his knowledge and belief the cause of death had been acute gastro enteritis. The ph%slclan had not attended the man -before his death and made no autopsy. “'l'?en the police arrived last. night the dead Chinaman was still on the “cot of tranquillity.”” wrapped. up In the bed cov- ering under which he had died. Acting Chief Biggy immediately ordered:the body to be taken to the- Morgue and. he will direct a communication :to . the Coroner this mornin l!kin; that the: practice of physicians signing death certificates with- out having been in. attendance upon the cases twenty-four hours previous to death be stopped. Biggy says this:is the law and it has. been” seriously disrégarded. The dead Chinaman had remained in the place since Thursday - morning and . the roprietor had refused to bury. him -until l‘:u friends collected the necessary $20. It is believed-that the lives of Chinamen are cut short after they have been placed in the keeping of the undertaker. A sin- gle instance where a sick Chinaman whe ver entered the places has ever seen day- light again is not on record. For the pur- | death of the Chinese taken to the Morgus | last night and to find 1f polson or vie- | lence hastened his end a mirute examin | tion will be made. In a house on Stockton street the police found ‘a Chiraman who had negotiated with ‘the undertakers for a bunk in a “chamber of tranquillity.” When the of- ficers visited him he was walking ar his room and stated that he was rea the undertaker to receive him at any tir The police suspect -that. crimes of descriptions have been covered up by ! loose methods employéd by who sign death certi . suspected that pol by highbinders in ending the 1i ot 1 rivals, but the present system would fail | to show any such causes. \‘ California- Weather { Has a national reputation. - Zinkand's is known all ‘over the world . ———— | Amherst has a course in modern gov- ernments and their administration.
