The Troubles In San Francisco.

THREATS OF THE AGITATOES-THE WORKING
MEN ORGANIZING MILITARY COMPANIES.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 26.-Thr ward
pre-, idenls, MAY or kall0ch, and the agitatOrS
held meeting at their headquarters yesier
day and passed Il series Of resolutions de-
nouneing the increase OF the police force and
the efforts making to resist the execution Of
The demolition Of Chinatown. The rcsOlu-
tons give notice that "on the pcrpetrati)n
OF any outrage upon the Orkngmen's
party, or employment OF force to interfere
wiki the peaceful abatement OF the China
town nuisance, we are ready TO assert and
maintain cur ri.hts and to visit upon those
interfering punishment 50 swift and terrible
that the reader of history viii shudder at it.
record" Mayor KalIoch approved Of the
resolutions. but recommended cessation
Of the professions for a few days, a. they
interfere with plans for providing work for
the unemployed.
The Chamber Of Commerce has decided
TO raise funds, and employ several hundred
men on the sea-walI at one dollar per day.

agitation in this city, as well IS others, fire.
Quently express the sentiment thar, rather
than suffer continuance 81 the evil results
OF prOtracted agitation, it would be prefera-
bic TO have il out once for all, and the soon
er the better. The leaders OF the work
ingmen evidently have no desire to pre-
ciiitate a conflict, and their action yes
terday indicates that their policy is
rather to keep agitation just at such point
As falls short OF violence, vet Is sufficiently
threatening 10 induce acquieScence IN their
de,ires. 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
a collision. Indeed, that perhaps at present
is the eyreatest source OF danger. The
Ninth Ward Workinemen'S Protective Club
met last evening and organized a military
company, twenty-five men signing the roll.
Some very hot speeches were made at the
meeting of the ward presidents Yesterday
afternoon, previously referred to. Sheriff
Desmond. elected by the woIkngmen, sig
nitcd his intention to support them in their
movement. The ward presidents recon-
mended that their seven clubs hold eXectl-
tive sessions 10 consider the pending ques-
ton, and pledged the entire party TO sup
port the Mayor and authorities IN carrying
out the law. The Eleventh Ward Club,
which was the theatre of Kearney's eXtraor-
binary oratorical effort Tuesday night met
last evening again but with closed doors.
Around police headquarters everything is
profoundly quiet, and there Is no unusual

sci for the Reynolds brothers (colored),
whose case was removed from the State to
The FEDERAL court some time since by United
States Judge Riyes on account Of the al
legged exclusion OF colored men from the

had passed without trial, and under a late
statute they were entitled to go free. Judge
Riyes oveIruled the motion, and said he
would hold the prisoners until the United
States Supreme Court should decide the
question Of jurisdiction now before il, liz
voIving the consttutionality Of the law
under which the prisoners case was re-
moved to the Federal court.
