Jury Sits on San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, July PA sensa-
ton has been created by the final re-
port of the grand jury of the city and
county of San Francisco. The jury
was composed of nineteen representa-
tive men of the city. They had been
in session nearly seven weeks. Most
of the departments of the city govern
ment the jury criticised severely.
Speaking of the crime report, it says:
1--WE think ourselves justified in as
sorting in this city, that
crime is organized for pur-
poses offensive and defensive and
has it's aides and abetters. Our cleo
tions't narily and finally are con-
trolled oy a great extent by II to Is
hundred members of the criminal
element league d together, and render.
ing quid pro qua having so-called. 1t
pulls on men in authority, and others
influential, with those having power.
Matters have reached such a condi-
ton here, that to openly Of
fend the directory of crimi-
nal element, seems to invite
complete political ostracism. Recip-
rocity exists between criminals, pros
titutes, gamblers, and bossism police
men seem not to meet the require
ments of the situation" Speaking Of
the Chinese quarter, the report says !:
"This San Frar cisco Sodom with all
it's loathsome features has become so
familiar it has ceased to inspire horror
among citizens; only strangers realize
the hideousness and filthiness of its
slums. 1t is vain to point out the dis
grace of having such q foul cancer in
tn the heart of this great metropolis;
quarter of century and still the evils
spread. Its gambling dens, brothels
and opium joints exist in spite of the
police and its inhabitants live in foul
kennels, which stife visitors with I'M
bearable stenches." ...

CHICAGO, July PA News special
from Washington says the republican
senators will hold a caucus during
the week to determine what is best TO
be done with the tariff this session.
Senators Allison and Aldrich say the
subcommittee of the finance commit
tee is working night and day on the
republican tariff bill, and they believe
the subcommittee will have the meas
ure ready to report to the
full committee early next week,
and that not more than two weeks
will be required by the full committee
senate. This will put the bill on cal
endar about the 10th or 18th of Au-
gust. Senator Mandeison, when ask
ed whether the senate would likely
get the bill out of the committee at
this session, or whether it would per-
NIT the question to remain pending
until December, replied, ~ have no
doubt the republicans will insist upon
reporting the bill, so that the coun-
try may know exactly what our party
proposes to do in the way of tariff re-
form. OF course it is not natural we
should pass the bill this session, I
presume it will take six or eight
weeks to debate the bill, and that we
could not adjourn before the first Of
October, if we tried to pass the bill.
The republicans in caucus will likely
decide to report their tariff bill, and
simply place 1T on calendar, so that
congress can adjourn by the Goth or
25th of August.
