 SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-The following manifesto was issued today. No names are signed to it. but it is understood that it Is put forth by body representing the wealth and interests of the city, including some who have been prominent in times past for the preser- vation of the city from the designs of the disorderly and criminal element.
 To the people of San Francisco and the State of California
 That the move of the present organization of citizens, known as the Citizens Protective Union, may be properly understood and ap- preciated by thoughtful men, the following statement is submitted: We declare the ob- jects and purposes of this organization to be first the preservation of public peace second the protection of life and property third, the restoration of confidence in the security of life and property from all violence; fourth, the restoration of legitimate commerce and industry of the people.

So long as the agitation was confined to its original purpose, it proceeded without objection, for the whole people of California recognized the evils of Chinese immigration and united to oppose it by all lawful means. But now when it is made the pretext for the organization of large bodies of armed men, whose declared pur- poses are massacre and general confagration, the actors to be rewarded by the liberty of un- limited pillage, the citizens of the common wealth have determined to interpose their power and declare that this contemplated tragedy shall not be enacted here, and that the public threats of the accomplishment of such wicked and inhuman designs cannot and will not be longer tolerated.

 The address of the Citizens1 Protective So- ciety is well received and thousands are ready to join the organization, and many have al- ready signed the roll.
