All Quiet On the sand l.ol4
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 2l.-During
yesterday the city was as quiet as
usual. In accordance with precon-
certed arrangements the military
were on duty at their respective
armories, but not the slightest oc-
casion arose for their services.
Notwithstanding the announce
ment that no meeting would be
held at the City Hall lots, several
hundred people gathered in that
vicinity early in the afternoon and
collected in groups on the side
walks discussing the situation
quietly. A number of boys took
possession of the speakers stand
and amused themselves with sky
larking and ground and lofty tum-
bling. The men confined them
selves mostly to the sidewalks on
both sides Of Market street and the
lots themselves were mostly de-
serted except by boys as
above mentioned. Tho police
were not conspicuous though occa.
siona!ly, one or two gray coats
were visible In that vicinity. A
large number Of the workingmen
went over the bay to attend meet
ing at Oakland. Everything there
passed off quietly. About two
thousand were present altogether.

Presidents of the various Working
mems clubs in this city have issued
an address to the public, holding
that they have u right to protec-
ton III their meetings under con-
stitutional guarantee, and that the

by the actual State of affairs.
Run om the OIa Fellows BnOh -Ths
Clay street Bnah Threatened
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Ala run
commenced on the Odd Fellows
Bank Saturday and continues this
morning. The sidewalk in front Is
crowded with people and police
guard the door to keep out greater
number than can be attended to at
once. The bank is paying out fifty
dollars on demand and requiring
two days notice for each subse-
quent hundred dollars. AT the Clay
Street Savings Bank there is an
unusual demand, though not what
could be considered u run. A
number of slnt II depositors are
Withdrawing their accounts. The
bank is paying out on demand up
to $500. Over that amount they
require notice in accordance with
their bylaws. Very few notices
have been given thus far. At the
Hibernia, German and Masonic
Banks not ripple of excitement
appears. The San Francisco Savings
Union report u slight increase of
business both ways. The attend
ance at all savings banks Is in
creased by the fact of dividends
being now payable and many of
the crowd are either drawing them
or having them credited up on
their books. The general impress
sion among we'll Informed parties
Is that any excitement that may
exist is without good ground.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-The Daily
Telegraph prints the following un-
der date of Constantinople yester-
day: MrS Master, agent of the
English Relief Fund, has just ar
rived here with train full of refu-
gees from Adrianople. These un-
happy people have been in open
cattle trucks three days. Many
persisted from the cold weather.
Last night fifteen were found dead
in the trucks. The suffering of
all is described as awful.
Mothers are reported In their
frenzy to have thrown away
living babies rather than see them
die in their arms. As the train
moved from Adrianople numbers
of people tried to cling to the out
