Mass Meeting ut san Francisco -Stirring
Scene at Union NaII.
SAN Francisco. February 22d.-The an
nouncement that Mayor Kalloch would speak
at Union Hall last night, and the tacit under
standing that he would deal with the fresh
developments of the unemployed labor move
ment, resulted in concourse of extraordinary
numbers. By o'clock, the street in front Of
the building was crowded with men and wo-
men, and the two points of ingress were
packed. Unfortunately, the doors were not
OF the mass become such that one of the doors
on the east side was forced open, and the lib
Grated crowd poured up that stairway. A
minute later the west doors were opened, and
the rush began at that point also. The
screams of women, helpless and crushed in
the crowd, were rather painfully distinct at
both entrances to the stairways. Ii was ru-
mored that several women were nearly as
badly hurt as they were scared, and numbers
of the more timid did not venture in until the
jam was comparatively over. In less than
Quarter of an hour after the doors were opened
the galleries and the main floor were abso-
lutely packed, and many of the late arrivals
were not able to gain entrance to the hall at
all. At the close of the meeting the crowd
ing and pressure were such on the stairway
leading from the east gallery that the wooden
balusters cracked and swayed, and score of
people barely escaped being precipitated to
the floor. The meeting was entirely enthu-
siastic during the Mayors speech. His APP
pearance was the signal for prolonged cheer
ing; and after some preliminary singing, he
began his address, in which he presented in a
vigorous manner his position in regard to the
affairs of the municipality.

"The Last PeaceabIe Parade - Ke4fen,
the Pianist, Injured.
SAN Francisco, February 22d.-" The
last peaceable parade of the unemployed,
announced on Friday, came off yesterday
afternoon. Marching along Market street,
from the sand lot, the procession turned into
Eighth street and headed for the San Fran
cisco Candle Works, on Alabama street. The
visit was devoid of any satisfactory results.
Some of the paraders, who felt restless at
the long absence OF the committee at the fact
DRY office, started out to hunt for Cinnamon
in the neighborhood They broke in the door
of bone and bottle yard, aud finding no one
there, destroyed all that was destructibie IN
the house. The reason for the preparation
of this outrage was that Chnarnan was re-
ported to have been employed as -sorter.
The procession then marched down town by
way of Mission street. When they passed
the washhouse of Hop Lee, No. 649 Mission
street, an attack was made upon the estab-
lishment with brickbats and cobblestones,
and when the last peaceable procession had
finally passed, the heathen's washhouse had
neither sashes nor window panes. Several
firms were interviewed by the committee dur
ing the afternoon, but the results were not
favorable to their demands. In returning TO
the sand lot the paraders principally amused
themselves with stealing fruit from various
stands along the route of the march Can
non, the Chairman, reported the days iaoors
and adjourned the crowd, with tue ln]unc-
