OF last Thursdays fire at Sullivan's printing
works, the most important testimony was
that OF j. ]. Sullivan, the senior proprietor.
He said the occupation of the fifth floor was
OF recent date, GBd q that until within a week
or two before the fire there were bat seven
girls up there. He had frequently told them
that in case Of fire they should escape by the
roof. There was movable ladder up there
to reach the trap door, and the girls knew OF
this. They laughed when he told them OF
this mode OF escape, and said they could
easily get out that way. he had not spoken
to the recently employed girls aoout this
means OF escape. His brother, who ran to
the fifth story, escaped that way. 10 an
other part of the fifth floor was a skylight

statements that the telegraph aud telephone

cost of purchase of the fruit and the labor

| goes, not to the orchardist, but to labor ex-
penses in shipment
The lruit-growerS mention the item of tea
transportation, and assert that the tonnage
of fruit would far surpass the tea tonnage
| provided the rates We're equal, and cOnclud-
| ing in this respect the committee say:
If the millions OF the East can be ted
with California fruits, which have paid
| freight tariff of two t2l cents per pound, il
| is submitted that it will be quite as beneii-
cial to the transportation companies as it
will be wholesome to the Eastern constun-
crS.
The memorial sets forth comprehensively
the quantity that c0uld be shipped from
each of the leading reproducing sections
of the State, and also makes a calculation
regarding consumption to the East. 1t is
the testimony Of Chicago dealers that they
can dispose Of ten carloads per day if they
can get the fruit in five days time at $400
car.
The fruit-growers believe that California
fruit should be placed in the Chicago
market at five cents per pound, which
would enable its retail to consumers at
popular prices.
The memorial takes the ground that the
fruit crop of 1850 will largely exceed that
of 1881, and cannot be proftably moved to
Eastern markets at prices charged during
the preceding years The memorial says:
Taking for illustration the freight rate on
ereen fruit per passenger train to Chicago,
as the principal distributing point, $500 per
car or ten tons weight, and considering
that after allowing for the weight of the
packages there is scarcely more than eight
tons of fruit in said car, it follows that
every pound of fruit so delivered in Chicago
has cost five cents per pound for the freight
alone. This IS more than twice the price
received for the fruit al the orchard by the
grower"

dom and public spirit of your Board has
caused you already to appeal against this
decision.
1t is said that separate schools may be
provided for these Mongolian children
Where is the money to come from? Are
there not now thousands of children in the
streets of San Francisco whom YOU are dis
tressed not TO be able to provide for? Shall

dren, to provide for that of these Chinese,
who are thrusting themselves upon US in
spite of treaties, Federal restriction laws
and Custom house officials? Can anyone
believe such 10 be the true intent of the
law?
1t has been said that ii was unjust to tax
Cinnamon and especially for the schools,
and then refuse to educate their children.
This is novel proposition. Do we not
tax parents who have no children, and.
bachelors? They are apt to claim that
they, too, receive no benefit from the pub

all resident foreigners and all foreign
property? We tax even the citizens or
