Following is the communication which

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, January 10, 1895.
To the Honorable, the Board of Bank Commits
sionerS, State of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.: The
undersigned, executive committee OF the Peo-
pies Home Savings Bank depositors, respect
fully submit the following recommendations,
embracing their views concerning the man
now in course of liquidation.
In view of the fact that the California Safe
Deposit and Trust Company is now ready to
liquidate said bank at an expense OF not ex.
ceeding $3.50 per month, the same to include
all expenses, to wit: the salaries OF manager,
clerks and attorneys, we believe it to be your
duty to limit whoever may manage the liquida-
ton of the bank to that sum.
We trust should the John F. Sheehan-James
Alva Watt combination continue to manage 1t
that you will require, If it be within the COM
pass of your duties, a sufficient bond to cover
any encouragement that may follow, and we
believe, in view of what has been done, that it
is a duty you owe to the people who are inter
ested in that institution to throw every safe
guard around what is left of its assets.

THREE MORE JOssEs JAILED.
Thirteen J
Highbinders' Resorts Were
Raided Last Night.


Sergeant of Police Gillen and his ener-
getic squad of officials made another and
more extensive raid last night upon the
Chinese hlghbinders, who now on the eve
OF the Monaghan holidays show DISPOSE
ton to become festive, so to speak. And,
when highlander feels festive there is
usually trouble ahead, for on such occas-
slons he goes forth to meet his enemies,
and square differences with the use OF
either the Ratchet or revolver.
/, On Friday night the SQUAD raided the
headquarters OF the Choy Leong Tong on
Clay street and the Bo Sin Sare Tong on
Jackson street. In the first-named place
the boss joss was captured and carried off
into ignominious captivity in the old City
Hall.
Last night the squad under Sergeant
Glllen was divided, and, in all, thirteen
places were raided.
Following are the names and headquar-
ters OF the '.Tongs" that suffered: Ben On
Tong, 8151l Jackson street; Hop Sing
Tong, 1925 Dupont; Sam Duck Tong, 1924
Stockton; War Ting Tong, 1913 Dupont

ton; Hip Yong Tong, 844 Washington;

In three OF the places josses were found
and taken away with the other parapher-
MALTA to the old City Hall, where they will
remain until destroyed, for the festive
highlander win see them no more.
1t is thought now by the police that the
highlander, collectively, has been eff
fectively squelched and that the Chinese
New Year, which begins in few days, will
pass by without the pop of the deadly
pistol being mingled with the cracking of
the harmless, though noisy firecrackers.

the loss of the favorite losses.

UNCLE SANS AUCTION SALE.
It Melted the Government the Sum of
Forty Cents.

IL ANCLtCu Vic thC sum "a
Forty Cents.
There was an auction sale held in the
United States Appraisers store yesterday,
which was for the purpose of Kidding
Uncle Sam OF the care of sundry worthless
articles which had been left on his hands.
There were five boxes of pears which had
made the trip all the way from Santa
Barbara to Victoria and then back to the
port on the Walla Walla.
They were not all rotten as one would
suppose, and Auctioneer Branch secured
25 cents for them. Then there were ten
boxes of chestnuts and one box of dried
mushrooms which had come all the way
from Italy and were abandoned. Each
lot brought cents, the purchaser
being a teamster, who said he
would take them home and use the
boxes for frewood and likewise the
chestnutS. Even if they were wormy they
were full of oil and would make good fuel.
Nine boxes of broken glass which came on
the steamer Progreso' also brought five
cents for the wood that was in the boxes.
Altogether Uncle Sam was forty cents
richer by the sale

What Insanity Is Imputed To.

1t gives one curious feeling of bewilder-
ment to read, as in our news columns to-
day, of the relatives of a woman contesting
her will on the ground of her insanity.
The proof lies in this-that she left prizes
to men who should not drink or use to-
bacco or keep dogs, and to boys who did
not trespass on others land or throw
stones, and that she wanted to be buried
without extravaganza expense. The. Judge

superior Court-Judge wheeler.l

A most important decision was hand
ed down yesterday morning by Judge
George w. Wheeler Of the superior
court on the matter of the suit of DR..
Austin b. Fuller against the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance company of New
York.
1t was recalled that the plaintiffs
brought the suit as assignees of a large
number of holders of policies of the
Metropolitan company, which they
claim were issued on the reserve divi-
dend, or Stewart system. The policy
holders had accepted certain sums from
the company and had been given re-
ceipts by the Metropolitan people.
BY the finding of the court yesterday
the court finds that the Stewart" plan
was used, as claimed by Dr. Fuller,
and that the plaintiffs were not be-
barred from bringing suit by signing
receipts. Judge Wheeler finds that the
receipts We're obtained by fraud of the
company, who represented that one sys-
tenn was used, whereas another was
really employed Judge Wheeler's word
ing of the decision is very forcibe in
this particular. The finding of the
judge is a practical victory for the
plaintiffs, and the way is open
for further action.

HONEY ON "A TREE.
These Bees Built Their Comb on the Out
side, Not in the Trunk.

On the farm of Judge George B.
Clark on the east side, Derby, is to be
seen freak of nature which he nor
no one with whom he has talked, has
ever seen or heard of. Suspended from
a cluster of branches in an apple tree
a little way back of Mr.. Clark's house,
is nest of honey bees. They were dis
covered last June by, Mr. Clark's daugh-
ter, Mildred. At that time small
amount of comb was attached to the
branches, but now it has grown to the
size of a half bushel basket, and is
literally covered with bees. Mr.. Clark
estimates that the comb contains TWEEN
ty-five pounds of honey.
1t is usual with bees, when they
swarm in tree, to send scouts out in
different directions in search of hol-
low tree, and that this was not done
and the bees should make their home
on the branches of tree is very
strange. One reason for this is given
that the scouts may have met with
death or the queen bee been killed.

Refuse to Admit the Sanitary Officer
Diphtheria is Epidemic in indianapolis.
Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 3O.-The

of the Christian Scientists In some
cases the sanitary officer has been re-

children were dying and no effort was

In the northwestern part of the citv

fatal cases that had not been reported.
1t is charged by the health officials
that the Christian Scientists have been

disease into places where the inmates
had been exposed.

THE pAssESeE Err 4eENr,
Description of Him by W. A. Turk of the
southern Railway Company.

southern Railway Company
In his address before the American
Association Of General Passenger and
Ticket Agents in Boston on the 18th
inst, w, A, Turk, General Passenger
Agent OF the Southern railway, gave
some interesting information about the
functiSn of the General Passenger
Agent in matchmaking, He said;
THE General Passenger Agent is the
pilot fish that leads the leviathan of
commerce to the waters rich with prey,
and thrice blessed is the transportation
company whose General Passenger
Agent is master of his art. If railway
companies gathered their shining
sheckels from none but those whose ne
cessities compel them to travel, the re-
ceipts of the passenger department
would be meagre source of revenue to
most of them. But the efficient Pas
senger Agent takes care of that, and
every train handles its quota of passen-
gers who travel, not because they must
but because they want to, allured by
the enticing arts of the General Pas
senger Agent.
THE railroad is the natural product
Of demand for transportation, but
the demand is created largely by the
wise management of the passenger de-
partment, Every Involvement Offered
to travel results in an increased pat.
ronage of the road. Facilities for bust
ness make business; "a fair proportion
of travellers become settlers, and set
tiers become producers and consumers
The relation of the passenger anG
freight departments is SO intimate thai
one cannot exist without the other, ant
in all normal American conditions the
healthy growth of one means the pros
perity of the other, but in priority O.
time and antecedence of, cause tn,
work of the passenger department i:
paramount.
Among all the forces at work in the
making of a nation in the accumula
tion of wealth, and the refinement an(
ennoblement of humanity, there is non,
grander than that exerted by the mer
who compose the various association
of General Passenger and Tickle
| Agents"
