Kearney Twice ceArrested--Bailed Roth TImes-.HIs Conviction Believed to bc Imp0ssibIe--UnVvar Attack on aLOyal Regiment-Yesterday Meet ing at the sand LOt-WOrkinxmen in the Interior Waiting for a Signal.
 SAN FRANCISCO, March 11.-Denis Kearney was arrested by the police this morning about 9:3O o'clock on charge of using incendiary language at the meeting Tuesday night. He furnished bail. but was immediately rsarrest- ed on charge of carrying arms on the street and again bailed out. The arrest was accom- plished very quietly, and while it has caused a great deal of comment and occasioned great excitement, caused no demonstration of any kind. Public opinion seems to be divided as to the wisdom of the movement, and there is much expression to the effect that 1t will amount to nothing because of the impossibil- ity of obtaining conviction. This view is mainly based on the fact that the sheriff, who has the drawing of jurors, is personal and political friend of Kearney and was elected on the Workingmen's ticket, as was also the dis trict attorney. The witnesses in the case are members of the police force who have been attending the meetings and street demonstra- tions of the workingmen in disguise and talk ing notes. There are many who think the Citizens Protective Union will be able to ex- ercise moral pressure that will result in the conviction of Kearney, and the policy of ar resting any person who indulges in incendiary language will be vigorously pursued until the agitstors are either locked up or oowed into the observance of the law.
 The mischievous and untrue article on the militia by Bohemian reporter, published in the San Francisco Gall, seems to be-repro- duced in the New York Times by dispatches received here. The facts are that the Second regiment is entirely and thoroughly reliable, composed of the very best young men, off cered by several graduates from the New York Seventh regiment and commanded by Colonel Smedley, energetic retired army officer, also graduate from the New York Seventh regiment. Having no regimental armory the companies were scattered in different buildings which could be easily en- precaution their arms were ordered to be con- centrated and guarded by men detailed by Colonel Smedley from his regiment. In case of disturbance the members of the companies will assemble at the old City Hall, where their arms are now concentrated. Not only is the Second regiment reliable, but General McComb has especial confidence in 1t for being most determined. The reporter could not have made greater mistake than ap peared in his sensational article, which has unfortunately been telegraphed by the Asso- ciated Press agent without inquiry as to it's truth.
 Agitator Gannon's case was called today, and he demanded jury trial. The case was set down for Wednesday next.
 There was 8 small meeting on the sand lot to-day, not more than two hun dred persons being present. Cannon, Sherman, Wise and Smith spoke, but did not touch on Kearney's arrest. A letter is said to have been received from the workingnen of Glen's Ranch stating that the workingmen of the interior of the State were ready to como to the city to participate with the sandlotters when a collision occurred. A number of in cendiary placards alluding to the councils were seized by the police this morning, but the authors were not discovered.
