SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-The
Pacific Mail steamship City of
I. Peking, due from China and Japan
on the 2lst, is reported to have six
hundred Chinese passengers on
board. This is an unusually large
list, but it is said that the greater
portion of them come under con-
tract to go to the Hawaiian Islands
to work on the sugar plantations.
AS far as can be ascertained by
considerable desultory conversation
with leading bankers of the city,
the new Constitution meets with
but littlepfavor with them. Their
objections are more particularly
against the articles on corporations
and taxation, which they hold will
have. it the Instrument is adopted,
disastrous effect OH general busi-
ness interests. 1t is known that,
in n general way, they have dis
couraged those seeking loans from
branching out into new enter
prises until the question of
the adoption Of the Consti.
tuition is settled, believing that,
until then, it will be better to 60
slow and assume no obligations un-
= til way out can be clearly seen.
Their idea seems to be that banks
can protect their own interests but
that, in so doing, the community
will suffer. 1t is limited that there
will be no difficulty in banks es.
Gaping State taxation of capital by
disincorporating and re.incopora-
ting as National Banks, which
2 will relieve their capital from
State taxation. An intimation Is
also given that they might incorpo-
rate under the laws of other States
and run their establishments here
l. aH oh h,
= other way of avoiding the tax on
capital. One very prominent
banker, after little general con-
versation as to the condition of bus
iness in the city, remarked: "lf
this Constitution is adopted, there
will be very long Sunday here,
and everybody will have good
chance to take rest from business
activity"

SAN FRANCISCO, March H.
Some time ago Oscar Alderman
brought suit against Chief of Police
kirkpatrick, charging him with
misconduct in conniving at the
t-escape of J. G. Duncan, and in not
properly defining the boundaries of
the Chinese quarter and changing
= the police on that beat as required
by law. Kirkpatrick demurred,
pleading the statute limitations.
: Judge Thornton, of the Twenty
third District Court, to-day over
ruled the demurrer on the ground
- that the statute does not run in the
case of public officer so long as he
remains in office. kirkpatrick then
y entered plea of not guilty.
