noon W. +. Coleman had a long conference
with Mayor. Kalloch. What passed betwee
them is as yet unknown. Subsequently kai
! loch and the ward presidents of the working

This afternoon the ward presidents, Kalloch,
and a number of representative men OF the
, W. P. e. held a meeting at the headquarters
of the party on Market street, kearney pre-.
siding. Resolutions prepared by the party
leaders were presented. The preamble re-
| cited the action of the Board of Health in de-
claring Chinatown a nuisance. The resolu-
tions pledged every exertion to preserve quiet
and good order and render any assistance i'll
their power to the Board of Health i'll carry
ing out the work advised cessation OF street
professions in view of the encouragement
afforded by the action of the board; referred
to a report said to have been received, to the
effect that the porice aud certain other parties
were holding secret meetings to concert
violent measures to resist the enforcement OF
the law against the Chinese expressed fear
that some rash counsels might prevail, which
before resulted in the attempted assassination
of the Mayor, and denounced an increase OF
the police force. After passing a series OF
resolutions Mayor Kalloch spoke, advising

committee of the Chamber of Commerce has
decided to raise funds sufficient to employ

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-The Inter-Ocedn edi-
torial, after carefully reviewing matters in
San Francisco, says: The people in San
Francisco are reported to be very much ex-
cited. If there il any conflict at all it is
likely, in the present State of public feeling,
to be a serious one. But some years ago the
citizens of San Francisco organized to clear
the local atmosphere, and succeeded SO well
that they may safely be entrusted with the
management of the present trouble. In case
of a serious outbreak the government would
order out the military and possibly the Presi-
dent might order the U. S. troops to protect
the Chinese against a law-defylng MOB.
While the people of California are uncom-
promisingly hostile to Chinese immigration,
it is not fair to conclude that they will en-
courage or sustain the action limited at by
Kearney. Thu questions now claiming con-
sideration IN California demand the best
thoughts of her wisest men, and they cannot
be settled in a day nor by any gang OF hot
heads. Behind those of special significance
to California are others in which the people
of the whole country have a direct interest.
, and behind these, again, are a few points IN
, which all the civilized nations may ask to be
: heard.

locomotives and trains of wagons, destined

POSSIBLE to replace mule power, the slow and
expensive tractile force at present in use, and
will form a connecting link with the railroads
ID now completed and with others which are
ut being constructed. The vehicles, which were
K. builta at Rochester, England, will be shipped
