A Presfdio He ghts That May Lave
Much Money Spent on 1t
A resolution of intention was adopted
by the Street Committee OF the Board of
Supervisors yesterday to improve large
tract in the Presidio Heights district by
public contract. The tract EN- braces
sixteen blocks bounded by First aud
Central avenues and Sacramento and
Jackson streets and the idea is to bi-
tuminlZe the roadwavs, lay sid walks and
generally improve the section. The cost
of the work Will be from $125, 600 to
S15O, coo.
The petition on which the resolution
was based came from the Presidio Heights
improvement Club, but the matter will
by opposed by several large property
owners who claim that such improve
ments are premature.

CAUSE Of DELAY

thorlties.
The Chamb of Comm rec Will Peti.
tion the Postm ST r.Gsneral to
Abate the Evil.

At the last annual meeting OF the Cham
Der of Com merce the question was raised
and widely discussed of the delay in the
distribution of the China mails alter they
reach this port. Complaint was made by
Horace Davis that in several cases delays
of thirty hours were shown and, in one
particular instance, a delay of forty seven
hours.
Accordingly Postmaster Frank McCop-
pin was communicated with by Captain
Merry in regard to the dilatory transmits
sion of the mails and the long quarantine
in which they were placed. In reply, the
following communication was received
yesterday:
SAN FRANCISCO CAL, April %, 1897.
Hon. William L. Merry Secretary and Treas
Trer Of the Chamber Of Commerce Of San Fran
cisco-DEAR SIR: | be- to acknowledge receipt
OF your letter OF the 22d inst in behalf of the
Chamber OF Commerce. with which you were
pleased to transmit TO me a communication
from the Sperry Flour Company of this City,
complaining OF the delayed delivery OF Asiatic
mails.
In reply thereto would state that the facts,
as utlined by Hon. Horace Davis of the Sperry
Flour Company, are in the main correct The
responsi bility this state OF things does not,
however, rest with the postal service. Mr.
DAVIS called at this office few days since rela-
tive to this matter, and was furnished with
full statement of the circumstances giving rise
TO the delays comp aimed OF. The matter is
one which rests entirely with the quarantine
authorities.
With view to expediting the delivery of
these mails l have Deen in constant corre-
spondence with both the quarantine officials
and the steamship companies since the
Asiatic ports were declared injected by the
Board of Health of this City. l have gone
even further than my duty as Postoffice Off
cial requires by placing two OF my own men
at the quarantine station TO receive the mails
and hasten their passage through the dlsin-
ting process.
The regulations of the Federal quarantine
require that mails shall remain in the tanks
about sixteen hours The remainder of the
time Is consumed n checking and preparing
the mails for fumigation, rebsgging them ana
getting them across from Angel Island to this
office.
l iully realize the annoyance resulting 10
the business community from this state of
things, and would be most happy TO Copper
ate with your chamber in effecting remedy
If such can be found
can only add that every effort is being
made by this department to meet the situa-
ton and that l hold myself in readiness to
cooperate with your cham Der In any future
steps which it may think fit TO take looking to
q remedy. am, in he meantime, yours very
respectfully, FRANK McCoPPIN Postmaster
By R. E. Doyle, Assistant Postmaster.
1t is very proba Die that the next step of
the chamber Will be to send a petition
to the Postmaster General at Washin gton
and try to have the hours of fumigation
lessenrd. In this step Mr.. McCoppin, as
seen by his letter, will doubtless CO.
operate.

SOUNDS WELL FOR MURPHY
Story Which Will Refresh Old Soldiers
Memories Somewhat.

Washington, Feb. PA pleasant in
cident, out of the usual routine. took
place in the pension bureau today when
delegation from G.. A. r. posts OF Al
legheny City and Pittsburg, Pa, form
ally presented resolutions of thanks TO
Commissioner OF Pensions Murphy for
his humane administration of the bu-
reau. The presentation speech was
made by Representative William A
Stone of Pennsylvania, who paid q
warm tribute TO Commissioner Murphy
and declared that, for the first time ir
the history Of the bureau. all soldiers
are satisfied with its administration.
Commissioner Murphy, in responding,
expressing his appreciation of the en-
dorsemeft Of men opposed to him polit-
ically and belonging to a soldiers or
ganization- He quoted the instructions
given him by President Cleveland, which
ne said. never had been published, as
follows:
Mr.. Murphy. I think you know my
ideas OF the pension bureau and the PEN
sion system. They are these: In claims
coming up for the action Of the bureau.
where you find the case OF worthy sol
der who served his country faithfully
in her hour Of danger, you Will be len
ene with him and give him the beneat
of Il reasonable doubt. In settling the
claims OF the widows and the orphans
you will act In the same manner. but
waste no sympathy on the unworthy"
Mr.. Murphy said that, whether his
term Of office as commissioner be three
weeks or three months or three years,
that would always be his policy.
Washington. Feb, 12.-Commissione.
or Pensions Murphy has issued an order
directing that all cases OF helpless min
ors for continuance OF pension under the
act of June q, 1890, will be made extra
special. and chiefs OF divisions have been
directed to take up such cases at once
and push them to an early adjustment.
This action Will benefit q large number
OF needy claimants and will give them
the benefit OF the pension, when entitled.

The daluhta Daily Eagles Saturday oug gebruarY H. 1887

Evening Star today declares that the act
OF abdication of the ex-Queen was pro-
cured under duress and Is void for this
reason and because OF legal informali-
ties. He says that the queen has never
given legal abdication and Is still the
lawful ruler. even IL she forbears TO en-
force her leeitimate rights. 1t is be-
lleved that Liliuokalani inspired the
card. AT the Hawaiian legation it was
read with interest but without concern
and Is mere regarded simply as an ex-
pressson from royalist standpoint OF an
eventfuI episode in Hawaiian history
but as not at all likely to have any
practical influence.
Mr.. Palrners card was called forth, as
ne explains, by the publication in the
Star recently, OF the queens aodiesflon.
He refers to that document as brief
drawn by Hon. A S. Hartwell, chief
counsel for the corporation OF sugar
planters and lawyers now posing as
the Hawaiian republic -having no
legal force whatever. void when written,
and which could not be sustained n any
court OF equity n any civilized land
He further says that the queen was
forcibly confined n the Iolani palace,
and. being told tat those she loved, her
ton, signed the act OF ahdicaticn, as the
only means to save them
The ring OF adventures knew thslr
victim" says Mr.. Palmer, "and had
they proposed her immediate death they
could not have terrified her. but TO save
those she loved she executed the docu-
ment"
He further says that not only was the
queens signature obtained Under dnress.
but that It was worthless from another
reason-it was not her legal signature.
Her prosecutors overreached themselves.
he says, and ont OF excess Of caution re-
quired her to sign az ',Liliuokalani Dom
inis" which was not her legal signature
Legally. there is not and never was such
person, The document should have
signed ''LiIuokaIani Regina"
Hr, Palmer, who refuses TO admit
that he speaks cor Lltcokaiani By d.
recticn, closes Els card by this state
rfsnt. perhaps Significant Of future In
tentlcns:
NO question Is ever settled until It Is
settled right. and that the whole Ha-
wafian matter should be properly re-
viewed Is the opinion OF a great many
people of the island"
