FIRE LIMITS.
Vigorous Protest Against the Propose,
Extension.

A Vigorous Protest Against the Proposed
Extension.
A numerous delegation of property-own.
erS appeared before the Fire Committee of
the Board of Supervisors yesterday to pro-
test against the proposed extension of the
fire limits.
George Cumming denounced the proceed
Ing as an outrage, not justified by any pres
ent condition of circumstances, and entirely
premature. The district he referred to, Mis-
sion street, about Sixth, is largely inhabited
by citizens who have worked hard for years
to build themselves modest homes. They
are anxious to build more, but are not able
to build brick buildings such as would be
habitable. They are too expensive. He
intimated broadly that this extension was
not conceived through any urgency of safety,
but by some syndicate anxious to force a
corner on its holdings.
Assistant Engineer Sullivan argued that
San Francisco had the least fire protection
of any city in the nation, and so far from
pushing the limit TO the proposed lines only
he thought the whole city north of Van
Ness avenue and Twelfth street should be
included in the fire limit.
Supervisor kingweIl opposed the order,
but the other members of the committee
were for it and its passage will be recon-
mended. 1t was so modified, however, as
not to affect buildings that are now under
Roadway, or will be commenced within the
next six months.

paired and provided with new concrete

Perfecting Diplomatic Relations With
Mexico.
Not long ago the announcement was made
o. the conclusion of treaty between Japan
and Mexico, but until now nothing was done
to perfect the diplomatic and consular rela-
lions on the part of Japan. 1t was the hope
of the japanese Government. when the
treaty was drawn, that large market for
japanese goods might be developed to The
south Of the United States. The belief and
hope that this was probable was shared by
the consular attaches of the japanese Gov

having been educated in the United States,
had opportunities for investigating the COM
mercial outlook for American countries.
Recently the japanese Government instruct
