Reed objected to its passage because he contended that under its provisions the franchise might be transferred to the Santa Fe road, which in turn could assign it to the Southern Pacific Company. Cap- tain A. H. Payson, vice president of the Santa Fe, however, disclaimed any inten- tion on the part of the road to,assign the franchise to the Southern Pacific Com- pany. Comte and Tobin urged the passage of the ordinance on the ground that a com- peting transcontinental line was ‘desir- able. All the members of the board, with the exception of Reed, agreed with them when the vote on passage to print was taken, The ordinance establishing the pound limits so as to make them co-extensive with the Jimits of the city was passed to print.

The resolution providing for the pur- chase of an X ray Health Department at a cost of $1000 was finaily passed. The Federation of Mission Improvement Clubs petitioned the board not to adopt the specifications for street paving until the asphalt pavement on Grant avenue nas had a fair test. The ordinance desig- nating the specifications for asphairt, bituminous and wooden pavements was t its own request for revision so as to include the use of asphalt on unaccepted streets. The crdinance providing for the repav- ing of Sacramento, Clay and Washington streets from Montgomery to Sansome | street with asphait or bituminous ro jon a_ six-inch concrete foundation was | passed to print.

A resolution granting the Merchants' Ice and Cold Storage Company permission to lay a ten-inch pipe line under Lom- bard street from the bay shore to the company's premises on Lombard street, near Sansome, was passed to print. The roadway of Alameda street, be- tween Seventeenth and Mariposa, was conditionally accepted and that of Florida | street, between Sévenieenth and Mariposa, fully accepted.

DR. KINYOUN WINS THE FIRST ROUND Chinese Merchants Must Have Re- course to a Suit Against Him for Damages. Maguire & Gallagher and J. E. Ben- nett, representing Wong Chung, appeared | in the United States Circuit Court yester- day in the matter of the proceedings against Federal Quarantine Officer Kin- youn to order' him to show cause why he | should not allow certain Chinese provis- jons shipped from Hongkong to be landed in this city from the Coptic and the City of Peking. Assistant United States Attorney Ban- ning, who appeared for Kinyoun, ralsed the point that the pleadings were not properly drawn, and that the court had no jurisdiction because Kinyoun was an executive officer vested with discre- tion under the law and the court could not interfere so long as there was a rem- edy in law in the way of a suit for dam- ages. The complaint was thereupon with- drawn and a suit for damages will be in- stituted, which will bring the merits of the case before the courts in a legal way. Kinyoun thereupon d_an order to_the officers of the City of Peking to take the rejected freight to the Govern- ment quanantine grounds at Angel Island. —_——————— POLICE PENSIONERS BEFORE THE BOARD Eighty-Three Old Timers Are Per- sonally Examined by the Commissioners.

Gibbs of the National Ath- letic Club applied to Customs Collector Stratton yesterday to be reinstated in his | former position as ‘‘clerk” in the office | of the cashier of the Custom-house. Ac- | companying_his request was a mass of correspondence upon the subject of his | former standing under the civil service | rules and letters from many officials in- | dorsing Mr. Gibbs as a man of honor and | probity. Mr. Stratton denied the application, ward his reinstatement on the ground that the position from which he was dis- placed without investigation and without | any assigned cause, as he alleges, is pro- tected by the civil service regulations. | The documents filed by Mr. Gibbs yester- day show that on October 11, 1895, Mr. | Gibbs’ position was changed from that of | cashler to “clerk to act as cashier,” which position is alleged to be within the civil service. On October 11, 1897—just two years later—Collector Jackson addressed a note to Gibbs announcing that by order of the 'Ireasury Department his services would be no longer required. Mr. Gibbs produces letters to show that Collector Jackson received from the Sec- retary of the Treasury a letter signed “Ciuzen,” in which the anonymous writer | called the attention of the Secretary to the fact that Gibbs was an officer in the National Athletic Club, an organization for the exhibition of prizefighting con- tests. Mr. Gibbs was requested by Col- lector Jackson to make answer to the ac- cusation of the anonymous ‘knocker” and he did so by showing that his superior officer knew of his connection with the National Club and had no objection to it, and that he had placed the club's | money in the Custom-house safe on only | one occasion, and then there was no Government money in it. He contends that he should have had a trial under the civil service rules and an opportunity to defend himself in a legal and proper manner. French People Are Generous.
