SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2s.-The precautionary
measures telegraphed you last night have up
parently stopped all blatant demagogic threats
Of hanging, arson, and lawlesncss- It Is the gen.
eral opinion that kal1och's advice this afternoon
to the Sand-Lotters to stop their gatherings will
be followed, and there seems no likelihood OF
the vigilance organization being called out for
duty, Even at Sacramento the measures adopted
hero have had a good effect, kearney and other
obstrucuonists Of the legitimate business Of the
Legislature having been unceremoniously put
down and out
The cause Of the recent large outflow OF coin
from here Is largely attributable to the fact OF
all persons in California being assessed, under
the new Constitution, according to the value OF
their possessions on the 1st OF March. This also
is one Of the great reasons Of the depression in
mining stocks, whereas the mining situation Is
now better than for four years. California
capitalists are US desirous as ever to escape
paying heavy taxes.
ALL QUIET.
To the Westerzs Assoeiat<d Press.
SAN Francisco, CAL, Feb. 27.-Last night was
exceptionally quiet. The workfngmen held no
meetings, except few minor ward-club gather-
ings, Us is customary, and the papers this morn-
Ing ure also bare of news In connection with the
agitation, although aboundIng in editorials On
the subject, the general tenor Of which IS ex-
pressive Of confidence in the preservation OF
peace.
The unemployed held another meeting at the
Sand Lot this afternoon and were addressed by
Mayor Ka1loch, who told them that while their
grievances are real and their talk for the most
part sensible, yet continuance Of such gather
lngs only afforded opportunity for the utterance
Of ll-timed expressions likely to retard rathef
than advance the objects in view; that judi
cious committee would be appointed with whom
he would freely confer, and to whom he would
report progress il any was made In the way or
relief and In the meantime the meetings had
better be dispensed with, subject to the call OF Il
committee. This WAS satisfactory to the crowd.
and no more meetings will be held for the present.
CARD FROM KA1LoCH-
The Bulletin this afternoon published card
from Mayor Kalloch, in which, after justifyfng
his OWL course us fur as the peace, safety, and
best interests Of the city are concerned, he goes
on to account for the present excitement On the
ground Of Misrepresentation aud mlsunder.

Health declared Chinatown nuisance the cry
was raised that there would be slaughter anu

men were satisfied With the action Of the noaad

been raised, and the sand-Lot angrily re,

Of the hands Of the Sand Lot agitators and give
it to an organization in whose conservative
character the community would have coni-

busy and wilIful Misrepresentation. and Tor
these he held the Chinese Six Companies and the
ChrUntcte mainly responsible.
