Highbinders Likely to Foment War at
san Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S.-A babel OF
voices arose from the heart of Chinatown
to-day from early morning till late this
evening. The more excited Chinese
swarmed around the squares formed by
the intersection of Washington and jack
son streets on Dupont They spread
across the thoroughfares, and at times the
cable cars were stopped until way had
been cleared. The cause of the commo-
ton was notice posted on the telephone
pole at each corner named. Sergeant
Christianson ordered the placards torn
down, and it was only then that the crowd
could be dispersed. A free translation Of
a placard made by Chinamau before it
was torn down is as follows:
TAKE NOTICE!
The white devils sent into Chinatown
by Chief Crowley have lately been held
in check. They do no more biackmail-
ing. We are only relieved from one class OF
bloodsuckers to be afflicted with another.
The Captain and eight men appointed by
the Six Companies TO keep order are now
worse than even the white devils were.
They are Dlackmailing the women, the
opium sellers AMI the lottery games.
None of US are safe from them, and il is
time they were done away with. We had
to put up with the white devils, but we

The committee received the carefully
considered estimate, of one thoroughly
conversant with the subject, that alcohol
ic beverages, in various forms, are sold
at retail in from 70 to 100 places within
the city without the license to do so.
This would represent an annual loss 10

the enforcement OF the law should drive
one-half or two-thirds out of the traffic.
Furthermore, as a matter of fairness,
those who have paid their 1000 for the
privilege of selling, should not be sub
ject to the competition of those who have
paid nothing. For the professed purpose
of looking after the collection of liquor
license fees. a special Office, denominated
License Inspector" with salary OF
81 200 per year, has been established by
ordinance. The present, incumbent was
examined by your committee; and the eX-
animation did not show that the services
OF himself or his predecessors in Office had
been of any especial value to the city.
Your committee recommends the abol-
ishment of this office, as useless eX-
pense and the placing for the response
bility for the collection of license fees
from all who sell wines. beer. or liquors,

there are twenty-seven square miles of

hand, the police force constantly patrol
all streets, and have perfect opportunity
for detecting violations of the liquor
laws At least once in each week. there
should be an inspection and report from
patrolmen, of all places where liquors are
sold and of the names of the persons
conducting the business. Such system
should insure an approximately perfect
enforcement Of the laws. without any ad-
ditional expense to the city, save the

SCHOOL BOARD.
The city of st. Paul is an independent
district and the control of the schools
is under the direction Of a board of school
inspectors. seven in number, who serve
without salary. The common council
however, is vested with ultimate power
to determine the total expenditure for
schools, and to fix the salaries of those
employed therein. The board has con-
tained competent and experienced busi-
ness men; but, for some reason, service
upon it has not invariably been attrac-
tive to this class. The practical adminis-
Iratlon OF school affairs is in the hands
OF superintendent of schools. who is
required to be professional educator
naturally, the post is one of large re-
sponsibility, and one constantly demand
ing the exercise of high professional and
administrative qualifications. The incum-
bent of the place practically controls the
disbursement Of nearly 100000 per year,
and may waste or save large sums an
nually. To have the place well filled is
worth good deal of money to the tax
payers. The present salary attached to it
Is S4,0OO per year. The total pay roll
OF the superintendent's office, including
clerical assistance, $1,000, is S., 500. The
Doard has secretary, whose entire time
is engaged for the work, at a salary of
SlS0O per year. The total pay roll Of the
secretary's office, including clerical serv-
ices, is $500 per year. The clerical force
In both offices is three.
