OPEN MORE LAND. GREATER BAN FRANCISCO. NEW BOXAR OUTBREAK. Charter Amendments to Provide for Immense Bond Issue. Aged Ch nean Emprsae Alone Holds Back Fanatic Hordes. Ban Francisco, Nov. 26.—By ths ape cial session of ths legislature, the city of ban FraiK'isoo has teen enabled to raks.tha neceesaty step« for rehabilita tion' on a big eoale.

The most important of ths auiemlmenta to the city at the present time is that which admits ol the sale of bonds bearing 5 per cent interest Under ths charter the city was empowered to issue bonds carrying interest not in excess of 4 per cent. The local law provides tliat the bonds may not tie rold below |»ar. It was impossible to sell 4 per cent ttomls, but uow the city will be able to go ahead with 6 per cent securities.

Mayor Busse has thus far refused to heed the pleadings of the organizations that the saloons beclose»! and in this attitude he has been upheld by the Saloonkeepers* association, the Reeiau- rantkeepers’ association and the United Societies for Self Government.
