THE FIRE COMMISSIONERS.
Engineer Bird Succeeded by His Late
Assistant.

Assistant.
The fire commissioners met last night
with full attendance of members. The
chiefs report for December was read and
a committee appointed to act upon the
suggestion with regard 10 the fire tele-
phone service, and the necessity of two
extra horses.
Applications from H. O. Wood, J. r.
0lmstead, ]. C. Hopton. John Kelly, J. E.
Deck, +. L. Mefford. S. 5. Rothie, Andrew
A. Anderson, j. y. Bragdon and d. H
Callahan, for positions, were filed. Sew
eral recommendations accompanied the
application of John II. Kennedy as assist
ant engineer for the fireboat.
The resignation of Frank Bird, of the
freboat was read. A petition was pre-
scented signed by number of citizens
protesting against his removal.
Mr.. Clark reported that Mr.. Birds
resignation had been requested because
there had been so much dissatisfaction on
the boat
Mr.. Bird thought he was entitled TO 8
hearing; he had challenged investigation
time and again. He put in the resigna-
ton because he was told If he did not he
would be dropped. If they could show
him he was wrong he would step out
quietly. He had done hard work on the
boat. and during his fourteen years resi-
dence here has always given satisfaction
wherever employed.
Chief Kellogg explained that it was not
question of competence or incompetence
A very unfortunate state of affairs had
arisen on the boat, and it was agreed by
the committee that radical change was
necessary.
Mr.. Faegre said that nearly all the
troubles and Investigations had been on the
tireboat; they had discharged stokers, but
the troubles did not cease, and Mr.. Bird $
name seemed TO get mixed up with all of
them. He moved. that the resignation be
accepted.
Bird asked if he was not TO have hear
ing. He had done his duty by reporting
men be had found asleep. Why did they
have star chamber proceedings?
Commissioner F2egre said one reason
was that Mr.. Bird seemed to nave very
hot temper and il was difficult TO get along
with him. He was competent engineer,
but the discipline on the boat was not
good.
well, when | was appointed as chief
engineer on this boat wasn't expected 10
do no Suncay-School work" said Mr..
Bird.
1t was explained 20 Mr. Bird that the
commissioners were running the depart
ment. Upon being put TO vote the
resignation was accepted.
Assistant Engineer Kent was promoted
10 the place made vacant by Birds resig-
nation; John II. Bragdon was made as
sistant
1t vas reported that the engine-house
on Queen Anne hill was completed and
ready for occupancy. Mr.. Clark said the
board had recommended the purchase OF
Chemical engine, but the city council COM
mltlee had reported adversely. Now they
had house and lot but nothing to oc-
cupy Ii. 4 committee consisting of Clark
and Foster was appointed TO wait on the
council on the subject.

A JUDICIAL DECISION.

It is announced that Mr.. Hebron,
whom Mayor Ronald undertook to re-
move from his position as member of the
board Of public works. will appeal to the
courts in order that the power of the
mayor to remove him may be judicially
determined.
We believe that Mr.. Heilbron's appeal to
the courts will be successful. We believe
that under q fair construction of the law
Mayor Ronald has exceeded his authority
and attempted to do that which he has no
power to do. Whether or not the decision
Of the courts is as the Posr-INrKLLIGENcER
believes it will be, however, it is well that
the matter be tested and that it be deter
mined in proper manner what the powers
of the mayor under the charter really are
Since Mayor Ronald assumed Office he
has used the charter a. . plaything. He
has disregarded it when it seemed the in
terest of his party for him to do so, and he
has posed a. strict constructionist when
that seemed, from party standpoint. to be
the proper thing.
It Is time that We knew whether our
charter means anything and whether our
mayor has autocratic powers.

Fort Wayne, Ind, because they were not
allowed to sell rum on Sunday, once
prosecuted the men who delivered milk
and bread Sunday morning, and the Puri-
tan farmers Of Berkshire county, Mass,
who welcome the Sunday milk train, howl
over the Sunday morning passenger trains.
A number of quiet respectable boarders at
New England seaside hotel we're once
arrested for driving out with their families
on Sunday by persons who were angry
concerning certain liquor prosecutions
and used the Sunday law to get square
with the prosecution.
In New England men universally take
their families out driving on Sunday, but
under the law the livery stable keeper
could be fined, his decent customer could
be fined, and if his customer chose to
wreck the equipage out of spite, no dam
ages could be legally collected from him.
The laws we invoke to protect the peace
on Monday are ample to protect the peace
on Sunday, and if they are not the out
worn creed Of Connecticut colonial bigotry
cannot do it.

THE NEW ANrr-cH1NEsE Law.

The new anti-Chinese act that has now
become a law does not contain the OBJ
noxious and treaty-breaking provisions
that were incorporated in tho Geary bill.
1t continues the present law in force, but
adds provisions that are expected to make
its enforcement less difficult. The author
ity to refuse bail in habeas corpus cases is
one of those provisions, and the require
ment that every Chinese shall register and
obtain certificate OF his right to remain
here is another.
Senator Sherman said he regarded the
provision requiring every Chinaman now
legally here to take out a certificate. under
penalty of removal from the country, as in
plain violation of the existing treaty with
China. He refused to sign the report of
the committee of conference, explaining
that he fully sympathized with the popu-
lar feeling against the free introduction of
Chinese laborers. Among other things he
said:
In violation of that article OF the treaty we
expressly provide that these people shall only
have the right to remain here upon applying,
on certain terms and conditions, for a certifi-
cate; that II they lose their certificate they are
not to be governed by tha laws AZ to other per-
sons; they are here ticket-of-leave men. Pre-
cisely O. under the Australian law q convict il
allowed to 60 at large upon . ticket of leave.
these people are allowed to go at large and earn
their livelihood, but they must have this ticket
OF leave in their possession. And this is the
legislation that II supposed to be in harmony
and consistent with the treaty!
Would We in our country adopt system as to
our German immigrants who are born In Ger
many, and as to the English, Irish, Scotch and
French who come here, which would put them
under the ticket-ofleave plan, and require them
TO show their certificates whenever they went
to any officer who might demand It at any time
whatever, under penalty of being deported to
the land from which they Gamer Yet We do this
against the Chinese.
Now, do not think that this fs In harmony
with the treaty. Those who believe that we
have right to trample upon the treaty, as .
matter of course, can vote for this report with
out any conjunction.
Nevertheless two-thirds of the Senate
voted to sustain the report of the conference
committee, and the House concurred by the
overwhelming vote of 1875 yeas to % nays.

What's this? What's this? Here is
the Telegraph denouncing fraud in the
Democratic primaries. It virtually de-
clares that the primaries recently held by
its party in King county we're open"
primaries. and in speaking of the next
Democratic primaries declares that "rov-
ing bands of men voting at open primaries
In different precincts In different wards
cannot make . convention that can pro-

All this Is true enough, but it does seem
rs if the truly good Democratic friends of
the Telegraph had been doing some shock
ing things. For many months our con-
temporary has been proclaiming that all
the crime in this community had been
gathered into the Republican party and
all the good into the Democratic. 1t must
break its heart to find badness among the

Mrs. Knight's Caravan Leaves Yakima.

Mrs knights Caravan Leaves Yakima.
Mrs Emily knight, OF Spokane. the celebrated
mining expert, has left Yakima for her mines In
Yakima county, and the Yakima Herald thus
describes the expedition under her command;
ION Wednesday morning the start was made.
There were Q dozen saddle and pack animals,
az many men, and two wagons loaded with the
mill machinery and supplies. Mrs. knight was
well equipped and clad for the hard journey,
and wore full wooden suit, including pants.
Over this bifurcated garment was q wooden
skirt, but even this was to be thrown aside once
civilization was passed, and she will
straddle her horse and bear the hard
ships with the strongest and toughest
of her companions. In her journeys
she always goss well auned. and 10 re-
ported TO be . splendid shot with rife or re-
volver The journey to Gold Hill or Dumping
river is, under the best conditions, difficult
one, but at this season Of the year the trail il
very near impossible The wagons will be
abandoned at q point thirty-five miles from
here, and from thence on to the destination the
pack animals will be used entirely. It II
feared that the outfit will b unable to get
through, a. the Natcheez, which must b forded
many times, is unusually high and turbulent,
even for this time OF year, and many old noun
taineers maintain that the journey cannot be
made. Mrs. knight was aware of this, but as
she Is very anxious to get a start on the work,
was willing to run the risk."
