THE MILITARY MASSING At san
FRANCISCO.
The Workingmen Excited and Indignant

SAN FRAxcIsco. March s. Inquiries re-
garding the recent movements in military
circles show that all the arms of the I'd regi-
ment were removed from the company armo-
ries and deposited in old City Hall. On the
Central Pacific station guard of a lieutenant
and ten men is kept. Over two companies Of
the LIST regiment are concentrated at the ar
mory of the company and the arms of Co. 6
of the I'd regiment were placed in their
charge. guard is now mounted nightly at
the armory of the Sd regiment. The armory
of the LIST regiment Is closely guarded and no
one allowed to enter.
The arms of three cavalry companies were
removed from the armory. to what locality is
unknown. Congregations were established
and guard rounds visit various posts nightly.
The arms only of the I'd regiment were
removed from the armories, and the guards
are detailed every night to watch over other
company property. The Sd regiment is
concentrated at the Olympic club building,
and those companies of the lst not accommo-
dated at the armory of Company have
regimental quarters. at the corner of
Howard and New Montgomery streets. Gen.
Mcdowell, commanding the division of the
Pacific, was telegraphed yesterday to bring
the available troops in his division to San
Francisco. AMI companies amounting to 500
are en- route. with more to follow, probably
1900 altogether.
It is impossible to find out BY whose orders
these movements are in progress. but it is
conjectured. the movements are under the
direction of Gen Mcdowell, and are due to
representations made to Washington authori-
ties by Colonel Bee, Vice Consul from China,
regarding the supposed danger in which the

precautions will be maintained until the set

many asserting it is an insult to their loyalty.
Workingmen are considerably excited over
these movements. and many assert that the
authorities are trying to force = quarrel on
them. Others say that the movement is de-
signed to bluff the Board of Health in the

CARRY THE NEWS
TO GARCEZON.

The election yesterday was one Of the most
quiet character. At the opening of the polls
there was fair sprinkling of the workers ofthe
democratic party present, but when the votes
began to 90 into the ballot box, and it was seen
that many democrats were voting the straight
republican ticket, the democratic fuglers
dropped their occupation in dismay and ST.
lenty stole away to be seen no more for the
day. Many democrats declared as they de-
posted their ballots in the box, 81 am done
voting for the democratic party" or 81 have
cast my last democratic vote"
The name of "Pillsbury" which headed
the democratic ticket, although it was not
that of the notorious Eben, but brother OF
his, made many sick as they came up
to vote. Then some of the candidates
for aldermen on the fusion ticket were known
endorsers of the State steal. One of them had
armed himself with death dealing instru-

wanted to fight to force it upon the people
