SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. "A let
ter from Hon. J. w. Dwinelle was
presented to the Board of Super
visors last evening in which he de-
fen,ls his action as special counsel
of the city in appealing from the
decision of the Commissioner-Gen-
eral of the Land Office in the mat
ter of the Stratton survey and al
leges misrepresentation of his mo.
tives as his reason for submitting
his resignation to the Board. The
letter was referred to the Judiciary
Committee.
The Oakland Tribune last even
ing printed list of about twelve
hundred voters who propose, at the
coming municipal election, to vote
for the nominees of the Convention
of 1Ol to be chosen by Committee
of thirty.two leading citizens,
under the movement to organize
Citizens municipal ticket. Nomi-
nations will be made irrespective
of party, though those of Republi-
can proclivities will probably be
in the majority. The movement
has developed unexpected strength,
and it is claimed by its friends that
the Republicans will probably give
up the idea of running straight
ticket, and only two tickets-the
Citizens and Workingmen's-will
he in the field, with the chances
favorIng the success of the former.
Mr.. Andrews, the Workingmen's
Mayor of Oakland, has issued his
annual report. He finds the finances
of the city in somewhat deranged
condition and debt accumulating;
recommends increased econo-
my of municipal expenditures; rep
resents that there is considerable
destitution in the city; that many
demands on the Mayor are made
aud urges providing an aims house.
He devotes considerable attention
? to the Chinese question; dwells
upon the evils arising from their
concentration Ia the heart of the
city; suggests that the establish
ment of Chinese laundries be made
dependent upon the consent of
property owners in the vicinity,
and contends for the hair-cropping
ordinance. He closes with a good
word for the Workingmen's party.
1t has developed its policy and
practical workings in the city gov
ernment.
