SIEBE'S CONUNDRUMS.
He Wants to Know if Sunset City
Property is Taxable.


Assessor Siebe is in Quandary in regard
to his power 10 assess property within the
limits of the Midwlnter Fair. In order to
ascertain definitely the scope of his duties
he addressed a communication yesterday
to City and County Attorney Cresswell in
which he asked:
Are the buildings that have been erect
ed for exhibition purposes at the Midwinter
Fair grounds assessabeP
''ShOuld a distinction be made between
buildings that have been put up for exhibit
ton purposes only and those where BUSH
ness Is transacted las for instance the con-
cesSlons TO put up res taurants, etc.)p
is the personal property on exhibition
at the fair grounds assessable ?
should distinction be made between
articles that are for exhibition only and
those that are up for sale ?
AS the fair Will, in all prOba biity close
before this years taxes become due and
payable, would il be the duty of the Tax
Collector or Assessor to collect the tax at
the time the assessment is made, as it IS
now done in the counties outside of San
Franciscop"
Besides asking these legal conuDdrums,
Assessor Siebe sent the City ana County
Attorney a communication from the
County Clerk of Chicago, certifying that
no assessments we're made on property at
the Columbian Exposition.

Leeds Mission Not a Failure-Visit-
ing Officials.

The Southern Pacific officials who have
been on trip East returned to the CITY
yesterday accompanied by the Atlantic
system officers who came out with the
party.
Isaac Upham, treasurer of the Traffic
Association. positively denies that the re-
suit of Mr.. Leeds trip to the East has
been failure.
The manner of the officials here in
speaking of the matter would seem to in
dicate that although there may be some
slight hitch in the negotiations there is
nothing serious likely to develop. Secre-
tary Haswell of the Navigation Company
admitted that he had heard from Mr.
Leeds. but refused to divulge the nature
OF his Information. stating that it was in
advisable to make any statement for pub
LEGATION until negotiations had been com.
pleted.
The visiting Eastern officials of the
Southern Pacific will return home on
Thursday. The exhibition of the working
OF rotary snowplow at Truckee on
thursday was revelation to them. The
day was bright and pleasant and the pillow
was put TO work on siding where abouI
three feet of snow had accumulated and
become packed down. About 1900 feet OF
track were cleared in short time.

Boston, Feb. 2s.--The demonstration Of
the unemployed in Fanueil hall was very
fiat affair and took the aspect of tame
socislistic meeting. Morrison I, Swift and
Carson, the Equity Union agitators. acted
as leaders. Swift urged his hearers to be
quiet and peaceable. Governor Greenhalge
was ridiculed by this speaker, and the
crowd was happy. The presence in the
hall of large number of policemen may
have served as calming influence. The
fact that the police had been instructed tc
allow no anarchistic demonstration had
been so well heralded that nothing OF
tue kind was attempted.
