that in their opinion it was no harm to

been prominent in the movement lately
suggested dynamite as means of re.

The board Of supervisors this even
ing passed an ordinance to increase the
police force to 400 men. The ostensi-
BILE reason was for the purpose of CIV
ing employment to needy men.
At IA meeting of the 11th ward of
workingmen this evening, resolutions
were adopted promising that there was
an attemt to be made to prevent the
condemnation Of Chinatown, and
being law abiding citizens they wou Id
defend with their lives their leaders in
enforcing the law and offer thousand
armed men to aid the government in
carrying out its provisions.
Speaking of the resolution, Kearney
said he had been informed from reliable
sources that secret movement is on
foot to crush the anti Chinese crusade,
the Chinese Six Companies and some
of the merchants being the instigators.
and the police department and national
guard the tools; that the enemies of the
workingmen were to inaugurate the
trouble by starting FIRE or a row;
then Kearney and the mayor were to
be assassinated by policemen in the dis
guise Of Chinese highbinders, and
Chinese, armed to the teeth, were to be
let loose to massacre men, women and
children, selecting the laboring popula-
tion of the city as their victims.
Regarding the case now before the U.
5. circuit court involving the constitu-
tionality of the law forbidding corpora
tions to employ Chinese, we would ac-
cept no decision but that Of the people,

man and woman, and the civilized |
world. He announced that tomorrow |
the ward presidents, mayor, working
men and city officials would meet at the
headquarters of the party, but the pur-
pose was not stated.
San Francisco, Feb. 25-Concerning
the present condition of affairs it may
be said that there is some danger of
conflict on account of the fears of both
parties. The workingmen profess to
believe that there is an organized effort
about to be made to resist by force Of
arms the enforcement Of the laws and
ordinances recently passed, and claim
to be the party of law and order.
Among the business classes there is |
Il tendency to accept the violent and
incendiary language Of the working
men orators at its face value and to |
fear some overt act directly against
Chinatown or the employers of Chinese.
There is also strong feeling of impa-
tence, anger and disgust at the threat
ening character Of this agitation which
has almost paralyzed the business inter
ests. .reacting upon its suppo rters and the
sentiment is frequently expressed that
rather than suffer the continuance of |
the evil, it would be preferable to have
it out at once and for all, and the SOON
er the better. The workingmen leaders
evidently have no desire to pracipitate
conflict, and their action to-day indi-
Gates that their policy is rather to keep
the agitation at just such a point that
falls short of violence, yet is sufficiently
threatening to induce acquiescene in
their desires.
This line Of action is dangerous in
view Of The excited state of the public
mind. and may result in provoking the |
other side into some action that will |
bring about collision. Indeed that |
is perhaps at present the greatest source
of danger.
