SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-Wten 1t became
known to-day that the Board Of Health had
declared Chinatown NUISANCE, considerable
apprehension prevailed lest the mass-meettng
convened for tonight might be the signal for
the outbreak Of disturbances Happily tha
result has proved the falsity Of the apprehen3

Union Ha11 presented an unwonted1y crowded
appearance. Hardly were the doors open ere
the hall was filed to Its utmost capacity.
Fully 1000 must have been packed
within its walls when at s o'clock Mayor
Kalloch arose to speak. His address was in
the main calm, vigorous, and eloquent pres
entation Of the workfngmen's cause. Some
personalities were fnteraingfeds' but as u
whole tie speecch 1counseled patience and lawl
abidance. He read letter from one larg5
laundry, advising him of the discharge Of its
Chinese employees, and having replaced
them by white men and women KaE
loch said he doubted not others
would follow the example. Ha
spoke in high terms Of Gov. Stanford, who
had assured him the Central Pacific were to;
day devising means for setting several hun
dred white men to work in place Of Chinese.
The speech was very satisfactory, as 1t set
forth clearly and fully the folly OF ratding
the Chinese wash-hou5es OF perpeIaql4
outrages on individual Cinnamon. It had
an excellent effect on the vast assemblase,
mainly composed of workingmen; and can
not fail TO allay the fears of property-holdets
