(From Daily. August 4th.) Gov. T. T. Geer yesterday received a circular .'etter from I d. uo-nfcerg, ae-retary cf the San Francifroo Labor Council, ' urging the governor ana citizens of the state to refuse permts tlon jta the war dtpartment to muster out any more troops In San Francisco, for the reason tnat th discharge of so many soldiers there would letuit in a glut pf the labor maiket, caue a de cline in wages and bring atcut hard times and suffering. The letttr. throughout, is the appeal of en a?i tatorj and shows a lack of loyalty to the federal government, seldom found tn the Pacific coast. It was promptly answered by the go c rr.or In fitting language. The appeal rays in part: "The war department has decided to muster out all the returning volun teers j at San Franc i co, requests and eppeals of the peoile of the respective States who asked that the troops be disbanded in the states they came fiom, having beeri disregarded. Now the San Francisco labor council, the federation ot the trades unlonsj;of this elly, calls your attention Vi the evils inevitably to reeult chould the war i partmcnt adhere to Its announced pol icy. In the hope that a l-ublic senti ment will l)e aroused, strong enough to compel the- .dmirittral'cn to listen t? common sense and plain reason. The strange eotir.ns of the depart- in this matter , can be explained by Inferring the following mo whlch '. eonditlots comicl us to Firs-t, the desire to unduly flood the labor maikett, aaid thus check th ; struggle of the wcrkingmen for im proved conditions; secondly, to comin-l the i-olunterrs, driven by want and doMliutlcn. to re-enlitt; thirdly, to prevent the return of the volunteer to thjeir homrs, where to their friaac's and relatives they would undcubte II v glvo khe ti ue version of the peopie, th climate, and the general conditions in the Philippines, as produced by our war pf conquest. "The great majority of the retumiii;-: vol u liners, when paid off, wUl onl?';?y end their money -they have the fo! dier p-pi lit and e'esires, end are youn?, and Bar Francisco has the reputation of being able and willing to furnish 'to the stranger within Its gates, irre sistible attractions. With money gon. the i Wiitute solJlers vfll be compelloi to sfeck work, which they, in m st case.4. will not be able to find Many of the volunteer, if difcharge-l here.jwill die.

In over crowded hospitals and on lor.ely coun try roads. t "Some, dMven to desperat'on, will re enlif t. tc f.ght. against their own con victions', in a useWs and endless war. The Philippine ew simps and FIirpin. lulLts will f.nlfrh the work of destruc tion. "The ccnnr in the Philippines now forbids thT publication of all news that would fhow up the horrors of the war and the trr-menious sacrifices the p. pl ojf their rr.untry will hav to make to conquer a warlike people, solely for the exploitation of carpe t bagRers and corrrations. Returned to their honio the Volunteers wou'd quickly make knowfn to the American people the real concllilons In the I bil'i pines, and a death knell woi'Jd seen be sounded on the iin-Ameriian lolicy of conquest and Cluster."

The last Issue of the New York Pro ducers' Price-Current contains the fol lowing hop paragraph: Bales. Receipts for week 162 Receipts from Sept. 1 152.483 Exports to Europe for week...... 255 Exports from Sept. 1 109,203 Imports from Sept. 1 2,823 A further considerable reduction In local holdings has been made again this week, partly by shipments' to Europe and partly by deliveries to brewers, New business has been light, but the market has had a eteady tone through out, and ! holders evidently feel suffici ent confidence in the position to pre vent any pressure to sell. Reports from the breweries indicate large business, and a good many hops are being work ed up; this would tell on the market here were it not for the fact that many of the brewers entered the summer with very liberal supplies on hand, and they have not felt the necessity as yet of making further important purchases. So far as we Can Judge from reports received this week the outlook for the crop on both sides of the water Is about the same as previously Indicated in these columns. AN AGED CYCLIST 0. C.
