ably appropriate $1,000 1t was stated

At a meeting of the Citizens Commit
tee of twelve last night Mark l.. Nc
Donald was elected President and
Sands Foreman, Secretary. After the
organization member said that the
Mayor in his epistle to the Board had
foreshadowed the duties of the Com
mittee. They were to arrange for
mass meeting to memorilize the legis
lature for permission to appropriate
money from the City Treasury to de-
fray the expenses of delegation to
Washington. He had no doubt
that the legislature would grant
their request but if they
refused, he thought that the citizens
would contribute literally towards
a not very considerably sum, which
would be needed. Mayor Bryant in
response to a request for his views
said, my idea is this: you are to call
mass meeting and have set of reso-
lutions adopted by popular voice. If
you conclude to send Committee to
Washington, present the names at the
meeting, and if they are good men the
meeting will undoubtedly indorse the
appointment.
City laws are utterly ignored by
the Chinese. They don't care what
we do here in the hall. When man
is arrested for any offence they first
try him in their tribunals and if they
conclude that he is not deserving of
any punishment they spirit away the
witnesses and the guilty man escapes.
The other day police officer told me
that one night he went up to China
town to make an arrest, and was told
by some Cinnamon that they would
save him if he didn't go away, that
they were running Chinatown them
selves they said
Let there be a meeting such as was
held on the occasion of the bill in Con-
gress to give Government Island to
the Railroad Company. Five men
l think were sent to Washington with
a set of resolutions, and although the
bill had passed one house and
was likely to pass the other, they sue
ceeded in defeating it. / think that
such a delegation at this time would
be treated with great consideration. 1t
is just before the Presidential election
and both great parties are looking
toward the Pacific coast for assistance.
If bill is forced through the House |
think the other will refuse to
confirm it. | have no doubt but that
the meeting will be the largest ever
held in this city. After adopting
memorial to the Legislature, asking
it to allow San Francisco to defray
the expenses of the delegation to Wash
ington the Committee adjourned un-
til Saturday next.
Charles B. Inghals visited the Odd
Fellows cemetery yesterday afternoon
and leaning over one of the headstones
cut his left forearm with razor with
a design of committing suicide. He
was found in that position by a man
who conveyed him to the City Hall.
He was very weak from loss of blood
and refused to assign any reason for
| his action.
