His MISREPRESENTATION.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.-The Board
oil Supervisors this evening passed an ordi-
nance to increase the police force to 400
men. The osteusible reason was for the
purpose of giving employment to needy
men. AT meeting of the lth ward club
of workingmen this morning, resolutions
were adopted promising that there was
an attempt to be made to prevent the
condemnation of Chinatown, and that,
being law abiding citizens. they would
defend with their lives in enforcing the
law and offer thousand armed men to aid
the government IN carrying out its provis
ions. Speaking to this resolution, Kear-
ney said he had been informed from a
reliable source 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 guards
the tools. That the enemies of the work
ingmen were to inaugurate trouble by
starting fire or row, then Kearuey and
the mayor were to be assassinated by
policemen in disguise OF Chinese highlan-
ders, and Chinese armed to the teeth were
to be let loose to massacre men, women
and children, selecting the laborIng popu
iati)n ct the city as their victims. Re-
gardlng the case now before the L United
81 ate circuit court, and involving the con-
stltUtiouality OF the law forbi1ding the
corporations to employ Chinese, we would
accept DO decision but that of the people,
and they say the Chinese must go" He
would leave list of names OF persons
that must be gul!otened, in case he was
assassnated, as his assassination would be
blow at every workingman and woman in
the civilized world. He announced that
tomorrow, the ward presidents, mayor
and workingmen city officials would meet
at headquarters OF the party. Purpose
not stated.
