Another Big Meeting In San Fran
SAN Francisco. Jan. 26.-There was big at
tendance at the mass meeting of citizens to-
night for the expression OF opinion on the
Francisco.
The committee of eleven made a long report,
telling what had been accom- plished. Resolu-
lions were adopted approving the work of the
committee; denouncing the action of the sem
ate in postponng action on the Reilly funding
bill; praising the efforts of Governor BIdd and
Attorney Fitzgerald for their efforts to
co operate with She people OF san Francisco
in securing necessary reforms; expressing
confidence in the intelligence and Integrity OF
that the resolutions taken to Sacramento by
the committee of eleven be actually iutro-
duced in the assembly and considered by the
assembly and senate; denouncing objections
OF certain members to the proposed investigG-
tons on the ground that members have not

cere ana absurd; inviting the hearty co-opera-
ton OF citizens i'll the work of investigation
and reform; demanding that the propet in

may be enacted: that any investigation that

appointed councillor and the appointment
of the latter is being decided upon. But the
government organs take pains to point out that
accepted. On the other hand the opposition
newspapers dwell on the fact that the agri-
cultural section Of the council is now
totally composed of agrarians and big land
owners and also that the agricultural commits
sion of the reichstag has resolved to forthwith
introduce Count Won Kanitz's bill in the reich
stag. In spite of the energy OF the promoters
of the bill, there is however, little chance of
the measure becoming a law.
THE EMPERoR's BIRTHDAY.
The birthday anniversary tomorrow OF Will
liam will be more generally and popularity cell
ebrated than for years past. Nearly all the
reigning princes of Germany will appear either
personally, like the king of Saxony and the
king OF Wurtemberg and the grand dukes OF
Hesse, Baden and Oldenburg or by proxy to
present their congratulations to the EN-
peror. His majesty, has received let
ter from Prince Bismarck, felicitating him
upon his birthday and excusing himself from
being present presenting his congratula,
tions as his poor health and the severity of
the weather prevents him from travelling. The
emperor replied in n cordial letter of thanks,
written in his own hand. The event will be
ner tomo row night, while the armies and
official world will begin celebrating today
H aesme m a keep cities until the as md
die of February. The students of the
various universities will all hold fetes. The
Omcers Ol slhle, military oncerS, members OF
the diplomatic corps and DISTINGUISHED for
eigners among the latter being Poultnoy Bige-
low, will carry their congratulations person
ally to the emperor tomorrow at the castle.
The court reception last Wednesday was at
tended by 1000 persons from far and near.
The news that the committee ways and
means of the United States house OF represen-
tatives had commenced the repeal of the
American diflerential duty on sugar was re-
ceived very favorably here. In an inspired
article, the Kreuz Zeitnng points out that the
sugar interests of Germany are in critical
condition, that a number OF sugar producers
II Germany will fail, and whole districts will
be injured for years to come unless there is a
change before August
According to that paper 1t is absolutely i'm
perative that the government should come TO
the assistance of the sugar producers, and 1t
proposes as the only radical remedy is to con-
fine sugar production to certain districts and
then increase the export premium.
Dr. Wagner, who made insulting remarks on
a speech which Baron Won Stumm delivered in
the reichsiag. has been challenged by the lat
ter to fight duel The professor today de-
clined either to fight II duel or to retract his
words.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26. A defalcation has

books. The result OF the examination confirm
ed the fears entertained, for Michael Mitchell,
the accountant, was short to a considerable
amount. The deficit is certainly $500 and
may reach several hundred dollars more.
When proof of the theft had been obtained,
Mitchell was summoned before Mr.. McCoppin,
and on being accused of the crime and shown
the evidence against him. had no recourse but
to admit his culpability. This took p ace yes
terday and he was discharged. 1t was Mitch
ellis duty TO receive from the newspapers the
prepayment of postage, and instead of turning
over the fun amount to the cashier of the
postoffice he diverted portions OF the money to
his own uses and then sought TO hide his
operations by manipulations of his books. He
was apo nted TO the position which he has
disgraced about three months ago and it is
understood, began his defalcations almost
from the start.
