G RE ATER SAN F R A N C IS C O . NEW BO XER O U T B R E A K , Charter Amendment* to Provide fo r Immense Send I Aged Chinese Empress Alone Holds Back Fanatic ftwMoa. San Francisco, Nov. 2fl.— By the spe cial session of the legislature, the oity of San Franoiaco baa been enabled to take the necessary atepa tor rehabilita tion on a big coals. The legislature has ratified amendments to the local charter which were adopted by the voters at the laat election. The most important of the amendments to the city et the present time is that whioh admits of the sale of bonds bearing 6 per oent interest. Under the charter the city was empowered to issoe bonds carrying interest not in excess of 4 per oent. The local law provides that the bonds may not be sold below par. I t was impossible to sell 4 per oent bonds, but now the oity w ill be able to go ahead with 5 per oent seenrities. Of course it ia not expected that they can be floated under present financial conditions,, hot by the time the ques tion has been submitted to the voters end the bonds prepared, it ia believed that the flurry wiU have passed. I t is proposed to issue 5 per cent bonds to the extent of $28,000,000 for public improvements. Of this earn $ 6 , 000,000 w ill be devoted to the re construction of the oity hull. One mil lion dollars w ill be devoted to the re construction of the shattered hall of justice. I t was completely wrecked by the fire and daring the Bchmits admin* istration no effort was made to restore it. One million dollar« is to be spent for e new county hospital. Another million w ill be used for s public libra ry. Severs! million (the amount has not yet been accurately estimated) w ill be devoted to the erection of new school houses; several hundred thousand w ill be used for the purchase of lands for park purposes; $5,000,000 w ill be em ployed for the reconstruction of sewers end streets, and $ 8 , 000,000 w ill be de voted to the purposes of an auxiliary water system from the ocean for firs fighting. __________________ San Francisco, Nov. 26.— Another Boxer outbreak of the sort whioh oc curred in China in 1899, whan many lives were lost, ia threatened for the near future, according to advices re ceived beta on the auxiliary oolller Justin, arriving from Manila and Gnaffi, and the United States ia pre paring to rush troops to China at a moment’s notion. A steamer fully loaded with provision* and ammunition ia lying in the harbor at Manila and, should a report be received from China to the effect that the Boxen a n again on the rampage, troops from the Ph il ippines w ill be immediately hurried to the scene of the outbreak. Those arriving on the Justin state th ft from reports reoeived from China, it ia pointed out that thia trouble is likely to occur in tl;e vicinity of Pekin, where the former fighting resulted from an attack upon the missionaries. I t ia stated that trouble would have resulted long before now, exoept for the interference of the dowager empress. To her alone, it is stated by men arriv ing on tbe collier, if doe tbe fact that the Boxers have remained qniet for the past many months. A t the present time tbe empress is seriously ill, and it ia aaid that her death la expected in tbe near future. Once the'hniprew haa passed awsy, the Boxers w ill lose little time in re newing their attacks upon the mission aries, and it la known that they have made up their minda to drive tbe teachers of religion out of China for all time.

IS .— The recom mendation o f General Mackenile, chief o f engineers, that an appropria tion o f baU a m illion dollars be made this winter to continue the construc tion o f the Celllo canal, opens up an, opportunity fo r placing thia work under continuing contract system. In the rtver and harbor bill passed laat session waa an item authorizing the appropriation now recommended; that means congress sanctlona the appropriation, and w ill make th e money available when asked for. T h e appropriation w ill come as a matter ot form in tba sundry civil b ill» which w ill be passed toward tbe close o f the approaching session, un less It turns out that the a vailab le money Unexhausted before spring, in which event the appropriation may be made in the urgency deficiency bill, which w ill be passed in January or February. It U most desirable that the canal should be brought under a contin uing contract, fo r unless thia U done the work must progress spasmodical ly, as congress appropriates money from tim e to time. Inasmuch aa there U yet to be appropriated up wards o f $3,000,000 to complete tbe canal, it U doubly Important that it should be made a continuing con tract. Otherwise, the money ia like ly to be made avaiU ble in quarter o r half-m illion lots, and construction w ill be strung out over n long period o f years. Thia U undesirable, fo r experience haa demonstrated that a ll large works o f this character, b u ilt under spasmodic appropriations, cost much more in tbe end than those which are built under continuing contracts, the money being made available as rapidly as needed.
