Reach Paris Excites Interest in
Official Circles

LONDON, June 23.-The strange dis
appearance of Kent Loomis, brother of
the Assistant Secretary of State at

iety and and to be regarded as a start
ling diplomatic mystery. He left

rope, which included the delivery Of
important dispatches to General Hor-
ace Porter, United States ambassador

meet him and accompany him to Paris.

III is SAID, AND RESIGNS

NEW YORK. June 2S.-Edwin Haw-
ley of this city has retired from the
executive committee and directorate of

Pacific. He was best known as gem
eral traffic manager, although his

Dartments. He is credited with hav-
ing negotiated the sale Of the Hunt
ington interests to the Union Pacific.

CREDIT NOT GOOD.

These matters are just cause for complaint
by taxpayers of this county and should be rem
edied.
We find that Notwithstanding the wealth OF
this county and the large amount of taxes
collected the merchants are obliged TO watch
the different funds available before extending
credit to the county and some refuse to sell to
the county under any conditions. 1t frequently
happens that owing ITO the probability of there
being a deficit in the several funds Of the coun-
ty, and bills not being paid promptly. mer-
chants in making their bids put some at a
much higher price than they would accept IL
they were sure of getting their money. The
credit of this county should be good that

lowing report regarding the charges
against Supervisor H. ID. Rowe:
We have investigated the charges brought
against Supervisor H d. Rowe in regard TO
our judgment Supervisor Rowe did not. over
charge mileage. but acted within the law pro-
flded to govern Supervisors in the matter OF
Inasmuch as it has come to the attention Of
the jury that the Supervisors contemplate
changing the grade of the ground around the
would be an extravagant and useless expendi-
ture Of public moneys and that no additional
light would be given to the basement as re-
suit of proposed work. We strongly recon
mend that the proposed change be not made.
The grounds around the county buildings IN
Oakland We find are taken care OF at an ex-
pense of two hundred and forty five dollars per
month, for which expenditure the work done
Is entirely inadequate, the grounds around the
Courthouse being in a deplorable condition,
and that this is by far too great an expendi-
ture for services rendered
The Board of Supervisors refusal to
pay the claim of c. S. McMullin for
$4,000 for the discovery of assessabl
property which was not on the assess
ment roll is sustained.
This is the jury's stand on the in
firmary deficit:
In the matter OF the deficit in the County
Infrmary fund. amounting to about s17. 900.
inasnuch as special legislation has In the past
been provided for the payment Of a deficit in
the city and county OF San Francisco, We rec
ofnInend tnat such special Legislation pc enacted
as will place the credit of the county on a
proper basis and that future Boards of Super
visors be so governed by such needful amend
ment to the county government act as will pre-
vent a recurrence OF this deficit in any fund.
and the finances of the county should be 50
managed to leave balance in each fund at
the end of the fiscal year.
In relation to the extensive repairs being
doue about the Courthouse at the present time.
criticize the Supervisors for entering into
agreement for mechanical work, such as
paper hanging and painting, at an expense to
the county OF SO per day for eight hours work,
when the master painters charge for private
work is but 81 so and SIS.
The District Attorneys office was renovated
at the enormous expense of 5000 being for
material furnished and 135 days labor at So
per day.
In the matter OF moneys paid TO indigents.
We find that the amount of money paid Is
largely in excess of last year, and we find no
reasonable explanation of this and recommend
a more careful expenditure of the public
money for these cases
We indorse the plan of the Board OF Super
visors to cooperate with the different charita-
BILE organizations and believe this cooperation
will be productive OF a saving to the county
In the matter of extravagances in purchases
for the county find upon investigation that
the highest prices are often paid. and in order
TO carry out the idea Of purchasing from local
merchants the county is obliged in some cases
TO pay a very large percentage more than
goods could be purchased for in the open mar

It is related of the Russian Field
Marshal Paskievitch that in the course
Of the siege of Varsovie, being some

shelled, but to no purpose, says the
New York Tribune. His troops did not

The captain coolly took shell from
pile near by, lit the fuse, and hold

The marshal, folding his arms across
his breast, stood looking at the smok-

Both men stood motionless, awaiting

turning away to consider other meas

In the evening, instead of punish
ment, the captain received the cross
