San Francisco, Feb. 12.-The recent
movements OF W~orkingmen is causing some
uneasiness in the city, but there appears to
be no ground for apprehending any dis
turbance. The best opinion seems to be
that the movement is simply designed to
influence legislation now pending. Mayor
Kalloch, Auditor Dunn and Kearney are at
Sacramento for the purpose Of lobbying in
favor of the bill to enforce the clause in
the Constitution forbidding corporations
to employ Chinese, and the Workingmen's
action is probably intended to add weight
to their arguments. 1t is, therefore, not
likely that any resort to violent measures
will be bad. The authorities recognize the
wisdom of being prepared for any emer-
| gency which may arise, n are prepared
to act promptly and effectually if the neces-
| sity does arise.
The case Of the North MONDAY Mining
Company vs.. the Orient Mining Company
is on trial before a jury in the United States
| Circuit Court. This is an action for tres
pass on some 300 feet of mining ground in
Bodie District, valued at more than a mil
lion dollars. An injunction AGAINST de-
PENDANT was granted pending trial when the
| suit was brought.
Emma l.. Warren was found dead in the
rear yard of her parents residence. No.
2603 Sacramento street, at half-past six
O'Clock this morning. She left the house
to make a visit at 8 O'Clock last evening,
aud her parents retired to bed at 10 o'clock.
On coming down stairs this morning, they
found her dead body as stated.
The unemployed workingmen again as
sembled to-day ut the sand lots, and after
some speeches from the leaders, marched
in procession to the Office of the Mission
Wooden Mills and Selby Smelling Works,
demanding the discharge Of the Cinnamon
in their employ. At both places they were
told the matter would be considered by
the directors and an answer given in a few
days. The procession then returned to the
sand lots, and after further speeches, broke
up. The proceedings were orderly, and
the crowd apparently good natured.
Some 5000 non-employed W~orkingmen
assembled at the sand lot to day, and after
listening to q number of speakers, about
half OF the crowd formed in line, and then
marched to the office OF the Central Pacific
Company, and a Committee, appointed for
that purpose, sought an interview with
President stanford and Vice President
Croker. Both were absent, and the COM
mittee was received by General Superinten-
dent Towne, to whom they stated the object
OF the movement was to ask the company
to comply with the provisions If tie new
Constitution forbidding corporations to
employ Chinese. aud to give work to nom
employed whites, and minated that if
their request was not complied with, and
the distress continued, ii would be difficult
to foretell the result. Mr.. Towne replied
that be would refer the matter to the Di-
rectors OF the company and return an an
swer ON Monday next. The procession re-
turned to the sand lot and shortly after
dispersed. Other corporations will be
called upon Tomorrow. The proceedings
were quiet and orderly.

Jail under conviction for the murder Of
