THE POSTAL PROBLEM.
California Complains of
insufficient Facilities.
AN APPEAL TO DICKINSON
Official Action-Over 10000 East.
ern Tourists Said to be Win
tering Here.
Associated Press Dispatchest to the HERALD

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, January pa
Washington special to the Examiner
says: Complaints as to insufficient
postal facilities from various cities in
Southern California have been supple
mented by similar ex pressions from
the citizens of Fresno and San Jose.
Letters to Senators and Representa-
tives from the latter place set forth
that the rapidly increasing population
has been the cause of bringing down
on the already overworked clerks a
perfect deluge of mail matter which
they find themselves unable to handle
even by laboring from o'clock in the
morning till midnight. Postmaster
General Dickinson has signifed that
relief will be given as soon as other
offices in various parts of the
United States can be scaled.
The postal department has never
been more exercised over any
difficulties which have arisen than
those in California. Two clerks have
been specially detailed to go over the
accounts of all the offices in the
Union and see if money can be raised
somewhere to relieve the pressure in
the West. From figures submitted to
Postmaster-General Dickinson, in or
der that he might convince himself
of the real necessity of the assistance,
it is learned that over $4,000 Eastern
people are now scattered over Califor-
mia from Shasta to San Diego.

FURIOUS FLAMES.
Narrow Escape of Forty People
from Destruction.

CHICAGO, January 22.-About forty
people barely escaped being burned to
death this morning in a fire that des-
troyed the greater part of big apart
ment and store building at the south
east corner of Oakwood boulevard and
Cottage Grove avenue. Not one
of the forty had time to give
the slightest attention to their
dress, and many, including sew
eral ladies, were dragged out
by the 6remen into the frosty air un-
conscious. Mrs. Abbie Birdsall, a
teacrer, was found lying in foot OF
water in the cellar two hours
after the fire started. She had
become suffocated and lost her
way in smoke. Her recovery is
not expected. T. d. McKillin, a gen.
tleman rooming in the building is al
so in precarious condition, the re-
suit of injuries obtained while making
his escape. Some of the people had
to be taken out of the upper windows
by means OF ladders. A. P. Tregent,
with his wife and baby, were forced
to climb away from the flames to the
roofs of the houses next to the burn
ing block. Wallace L. De Wolf, a
local lawyer, owned the building.
His loss is said to be $50, 700. fully in
sured. About $1,000 worth Of furni-
ture and clothing, half insured, be-
longing to nine families was destroyed
and $4,000 additional damage, also
partly insured, was inflicted on the
stock of several storekeepers occupy
| ing the ground floor.

A FATAL FIGHT.
Death of a Pugilist in the Prize
Ring.

OeaAtn Oh u Fu&lllSt N tne Ff1Ze
Ring.
New YORK, January GA fatal
prize fight occurred at Fort Hamilton
this morning. The fight was between
two feather-weight pugilists known as
"Billy Dempsey" and "Swipes,"
a news-boy, and was fought at
Nick Thompson's Hotel, in the pres
ence of number OF sporting men.
Dempsey appeared to be in poor con-
dition at the start, and during the
first round fell heavily forward, as
was then supposed in fit.
A physician was summoned, but
the man died within fifteen
minutes. The spectators hastily fled
and Dempsey's antagonist is supposed
to have left the State to avoid arrest.
The proprietor of the hotel says that
he does not know the names of any
of the persons present at the fight.
Dempsey's identity cannot be ascer-
tained, though rumor has it that he
was pressman on New York even
ing paper. He was about % years
old and leaves a wife and infant child.
The body will remain at the hotel
until an inquest can be held.
LATER-"swIPEs" sURRENDERs.
"Swipes" has surrendered himself
to the police of Brooklyn and has been
locked up. 1t is probable that all the
others concerned in the fight will be
arrested,

AN UNSUCCESSFUL STRIKE.
The Restaurant PrOprietOrs VIC
toriOus at San Francisco.

SAN Francisco, January 22.-The
strikers kept rather quiet to-day. A
few of the restaurants that had been
closed by the strike reopened, some
with union men and others with non
union men. More will open to-mor-
row, and by Tuesday the strike will
be dead. The National Bakers
Union held long and animated meet
ing to-day, and in tt e course Of the
meeting adopted a resolution ordering
several unions and also the Oakland
branches back to work, but resolving
that Union No. "a shall not return
until its demands are complied
with. The white cooks and walters
resolved to return to work tomorrow
and give no support whatever to the
strikers. AS many of the restaurants
have already employed non-union
men to fill the vacant places, the
union men will have hard time to
find work,

KILLED HIS. MAN.
Encounter Between an OFFICER
and a Criminal at Frisco.

SAN Francisco, January 22.-Early
this morning, while Officer Thomas
Duffy was patroling his beat, he
noticed a man acting strangely, and
asked him what he was doing at such
an unreasonable hour. The man re-
piled, "None of your business" and
started to run. The officer stopped
him and declared his intention of
searching him. AS the officer al
tempted to take hold of him he
stepped aside, drew a revolver, and
fred one shot at the officer, the bullet
lodging in the muscles of his leg.
Before the ruffian could fire second
shot the officer drew his revolver and
fired, hitting the man in vital por-
ton OF the body. After the garroter
had fallen to the ground the officer
fred three more shots, the last two
taking effect in his head, from which
he died in few minutes.
LATER-THE FOOTBALLS IDENTITY.
The body of the footpad killed by
Officer Duffy last night was viewed by
thousands of people as it lay on the
slab in the Morgue to-day. On the
right temple was a round black
hole. 1t was there that the officers
bullet had taken effect. Not until this
afternoon was the identity Of the rob-
ber known as an acquaintance then
recognized him as one Albert Peter.
son, Swede, about 25 years of age.
His room mate at the Niagara House
says that Peterson had morbid taste
to read tales of robbers,
pirates and other criminals and
that with this class of literature
Peterson beguiled days in his
room. Every night he dressed up
roughly and went out until early
morning, saying that he was busted
at Menlo Park at night work. Sew
eral men who have been waylaid
during the. past two months have
identified him as the man who at
tempted or did rob them. He is
recognized as one who has committed
at least half a dozen rohberes. Ex-
animation shows that Officer. Duffy
sustained only a slight flesh wound in
the right thigh.

When the Republican papers urge
upon the voters OF their party to be
true to protection as one of its early
features of policy, they aim to mis-
lead. The Republican party orig
inally consisted of men who differed
widely upon this subject. 1t is
hardly worth while now to inquire
what were the respective proportions
of high tariff men and low tariff men
in it. This fact is certain, that the
party agreed that the question was
settled in favor of low ariff..-[ Bos-

BALFOUR'S POLICY EXPOSED
of President Cleve-

Pope.
| Associated Press dispatches to the HERALD

Associated Press dispatches to the HERALD
DUBLIN, January 22.-An attempt
was made last night to serenade Will.
fred Blunt, who is confined in the
prison at Galway. The police inter
fered and ordered the musicians away.
The latter thereupon embarked in
boats and held torchlight procession
on the river beneath the walls of the
prison. Seamen from the war ship
Banterer gave chase but failed to cap
ture the serenaders.
General enthusiasm has been caused
by the release of William O'Brien
from the Tullamore Jail. Last night
bonfires and beacon lights il
Illuminated the South of Ireland.
The action of the Land Commission
has been equivalent to censuring any
moderation of the plan of campaign.
Balfour found that the League could
only be suppressed by suppressing
the society. The action of the gov
ernment in prosecuting the priests
showed that the hopes of muzzling
them by means of intrigues at Rome
have been frustrated. 1t was an at
tempt to outrage the people into an
exhibition of violence as a set-off
against Balfour's wanton brutality.
If Blunt had never revolted, Balfour's
intentions toward the Parnelltes'
course were evident enough. He
believed that Balfour would push
matters to extremities until public
opinion daunted him.
CELEBRATION AT KILRUSH.
Kilrush was Illuminated this even
ing and the streets were crowded with
people. The Government proclama-
ton prohibiting meeting announced
to be held there to-day was publicly
burned. All the bonfires and the blaz-
ing tar barrels were extinguished by
the police. There was a conflict at
Kilkee between the police and the
people, and one policeman was Sc
verely injured.
o'BRIEN'S PROGRAMME.
O'Brien, who is almost prostrated
with emotion, intends to attend
banquet given in his honor by his
electors and then rest for few weeks
in accordance with his doctors ad-
vice. In an interview to-day he said:
Il felt so we'll in leaving prison that |
have overtaxed my strength, and as
a result am sleepless and worn-out.
The National League" he continued,
instead of being effaced, as the CO.
ercionists prophesy, is more firmly
rooted than ever"

THE TOWER TRAGEDY.
Five More COrpses Found in the
Ruins.

TOWER, Mimi, January 22.-Search
for the bodies of those burned in the
clearinghouse fire was continued to-
day and five more were taken out OF
the ruins, making total of nine. All
are too badly disfgured to be rec g.
nized. 1t is thought that some OF the
bodies may be entirely consumed.
Jack Collins, of the Superior, left his
room before his comrade, but did not
get out. 1t is believed that his re-
mains were among those found to-day
Henry Beerdecker arrived here Fri
day evening and is believed to be one
of the victims.

OVER THE BORDER.
Details Regarding the Mortgage
Bank Project.

CRY OF Mexico, January 22.-Re-
ports of the suspension of negotiations
between the New York syndicate
seeking to get control of the Mexican
Mortgage Bank, are denied by Sebas-
tian Camack Camachio, President of
that institution, and M. L. Muiraud,
representing the New York people.
The object of the syndicate is to make
the bank more energetic and useful
institution, and in particular to avail
themselves Of the right the bank
possesses to issue certificates of mer-
chandise values. 1t is proposed to
issue certificates for bar silver on pre-
cisely the same plan as that adopted
by the Western National Bank
of New York, and it is understood
that persons interested in the West
ern National Bank are behind the
movement. Encouragement is given
to the plan by the Government here.
1t will put no obstacles in way OF a
syndicate getting hold of the mort
gage bank, which has an authorized
capital of $50, 100000. Several of the
leading shareholders desire the sue
cess of the syndicate, and the points Of
difference have been mostly adjusted.
If this plan is carried out American
capital will gain predominance for the
first time in a bank on Mexican soil.
There is some opposition to the scheme
grounded ans apprehension that the
issuing of bar silver certificateswill gain
control of the exchange business be-
tween this country and the United
States and Europe.

Baltimore, December 1, 1887.
THE PoPE's REPLY.
The Pope then read his reply to
Archbishop Ryan in Latin, express
ing the pleasure he felt in receiving
a jubilee gift from the President of
the United States. He continued i:
"I have received offerings from all
parts of the world, from Italy, from
France, Germany, Hungary,
Spain, England, and one from the
President OF the United States, the
most pleasing one. In America you
enjoy perfect freedom, a freedom that
we admit is highly beneficial to the
spread of religion. AS head of the
church, owe my duty, love and
solicitude to every part of the church,
but toward America bear especial
love. The care of your nation is
great, your government is free
and your future full of hope.
Your President commands my highest
admiration and this offering from him
l shall cherish as token of the SYM
pathy between u.s."
