The demise in Oakland of Mrs. Lucy
Anne Browne on Friday last and her in

to the pioneers Of this State and the
residents of generation ago the memory
OF her gifted husband, j. Ross Browne.

visited by travellers. Returning to Calf
fornia in 1855 he won high favor from the
government in investigating Indian af-
fairs He revisited Europe in 1860 as cor
respondent for the Sacramento Union and
Harper's Magazine.
Although of a rowing disposition Mr.
Browne finally settled down in the foot
hills of Oakland, and his residence, known
as Pagoda Hill, attracted much attention
because of its Oriental style of ARCHITECT
ture. In 1868 he succeeded BurIingame as
Minister to China, and in October, 1875. he
passed away at his home across the bay.

INCOMPLETE
REPORT ON THE
CITY TAX LEVY
Will Be Presented to
the Supervisors.
THE RESULT OF A TANGLE
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE TO
SHIFT RESPONSIBILITY.
It Has Disagreed on the Large APP
preparations, but on the Small
Ones There Was Unani-
nifty Of Opinion.

The Supervisors will meet this morn
ing at 10 o'clock to consider the tax levy.
The Finance Committee will present an
incomplete report, but will not present it
in the customary way. Certain minor
appropriations will be recommended
unanimously by Chairman Rottanzi,
Devany and Haskins, but the report will
state that the chairman disagrees with
the other two members of the committee
regarding appropriations for streets and
the Mission zoo. RottanZi wants to cut
the street department appropriation and
drop the zoo park altogether for the pres
ent. In conclusion the committee will
state that it cannot agree on these items
and will ask the board to step in and set
tie the matters at issue without reference
to the committee. No total levy will be
suggested.
These statements are authoritative,
being made by one member of the FL
nance Committee. He further stated that
the meeting of the Finance Committee on
Saturday evening was the last held on the
subject of the levy no second meeting
being called for Sunday.
There were several chance meetings
yesterday between Supervisors Britt, De-
lany, Rivers, Sheehan and Haskins.
There was considerable private discussion
pro and con on the subject of the Mission
zoo. This proposed Improvement" is the
hardest one on which to reach an agree
ment.
The indications are that the even split
in the board will make the morning SEES
sion to-day interesting. In view of the
fact that the law compels the Super
ysors to fix the levy before they adjourn
this afternoon, the probabilities are that
some form of a compromise between the
six favoring 81 40 as the municipal rate
and the six who advocate 81 20 will be
made. In this event 81 80 may be the final
figure.

Customers Baggage for
Their Tips.

This question has just been decided
in the affirmative by the higher court at
Vienna, which not only confirmed the
Judgment of the lower court in curl
Gus action referred to it, but also as
serted the right of hotel servant to re-
tain passengers luggage in case sufh-
cient gratuity is not forthcoming.
The suit, which proved again the
Saws delay" arose out of dispute, in
August of 1896, between a gentleman
who had passed considerable time az =
summer resort as a hotel porter. A
Mr.. D, who, with his family, had
stayed for IS days at the hotel, pre-
scented the servant who brought the
Luggage to the station with pourbolre

the man emphatically declined to ac-
oept. demanding instead ten forms. On
the departing guest declining to give
that amount the servant refused to part
with the visitors luggage, which, after
a scufle, he carried back to the hotel
and deposited with the manager. Mr..
D then brought, through the public
prosecutor, a charge Of eXtortion
against the servant, accompanied with
threats and injury to property.
The lower court acquitted the servant
on all the counts when the case was
1 brought before it in March, 1897. Then
the suit was carried to the higher court,
which confirmed the previous decision
The charges of threats and injury to
property the court considered improved,
and declared that the servant, who re-
ceived no wages, was thrown for his
subsistence upon the generosity of the
visitors; that of this Mr.. D. was
aware; and that personal service for
/ IS days, according to the local usage.
at ten kreuzers a day, amounted to al
least u forms, to which the man had
/ legal claim, and that he was quite
within his rights in retaining the lug
gage to secure himself from pecuniary
4 loss.

everybody is so general in Austria that
the only surprising part of the affair is
that anyone had the courage to resist

and a milestone or hone. Near by was
a canoe 81 feet long 4 feet wide, hol-
lowed from a single trunk of oak. This
crannog is the first yet found in an
