FROM CHINA'S EMPEROR.
The Former Chief of Police of San
Francisco Receives a Handsome
Banner

San Francisco, Jan. 27.-The Chinese
government conferred on ex-Chief of Po-
lice Crowley of this city, last night, an
honor granted to only other white
man, President Grant. 1t. was large
silk banner, richly ornamented, and the
possession of which admits the owner to
the imperial grounds in Peking-the high
est honor that can be given to a foreigner.
Mr.. Crowley was chief of police of this
city for nearly twenty-five years. and his
fairness to the Chinese residents of this
city induced some leading merchants of
this city to petition for the privilege of
presenting the banner to him 1t was for
mally given to Mr.. Crowley last night
with a handsomely illuminated letter. The
banner is fifteen feet long and five feet
wide, and is made of scarlet satin, en-,
broidered with designs in silver and gold.
The border of mandarin blue is magnifi-
Gently decorated with Chinese characters,
interspersed with small mirrors in silver
frames. This same decoration appears
on an elaborate fringe on the lower edge.
Across the face of the banner are worked
birds and flowers. On one end is the en-
peror's name in royal green and four Chi
nese characters a foot high, of spun gold.
The other side of the banner is of white
silk, on which the Chinese artist has de-
picted a battle scene.

The Matter is Taken Up by the
Senate Committee.
Senators Butler and Mason Viii
Prepare a Bill.
MIR. GARY INTERESTED
The Postmaster General Asks
for Latitude
And Suggests Two Per Cent
as the Interest Rate.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The senate COM
mittee on postofhces and post roads to-
day had under consideration the advisa-
bility of establishing the scheme of postal
savings banks in the United States.
The discussion was general and the only
conclusion reached was that Senators Ma
son and Butler should prepare the bill,
which could be used as a base for future
deliberations. This was done because of
the fact that there were a large number
of measures before the committee, all
looking to the same end. 1t is intended
that the bill to be prepared by Messrs.
Mason and Butler shall suppIant all
these, and they were requested to have
it in shape to be taken up at the next
meeting, to be held a week hence.
A communication was read from Post
master General Gary making suggestions
regarding the details of the legislation
proposed. Among other provisions urged
by him was one giving the largest possl>
BILE discretion to the postmaster general
in putting the new system in operation.
Mr.. Gary stated that in his opinion the
tendency is to make the interest rate too
high. 1.-The downward tendency of inter-
est rates is unmistakable,' he said. He
thought a rate too low preferable to one
too high, and suggested two per cent as
a prudent and reasonable rate. He also
certain postoffices or sub-treasuries as de-
positories for the postoffce funds because
of the impra cticabiHty of making repay
ments from Washington in case all the
repositories should be located in WASH

also sought places of safety and in their
flight many forgot to take their instru-

When it was learned the blaze was light

an hour several policemen were kept busy
preventing the more excited ones from
hindering the work of the iremen. y

woodwork of the ceiling near the center
of the main dining haI. He notified the
cashier and an effort was made to pre-
vent those in the place from becoming
excited. Those at the tables directly I'M

doors, and others, seeing the fire and
smoke followed.
