Adopted by Representative Working

SAN FRANcisco, February 25th.--A meet
ing of Ward Presidents and other representa-
tive men of the w. p. G. was he'd at the
Workingmen's Free Library, on Market
street, near Ninth, this afternoon. The at
tendance was large. Denis KearneY pre-
sided. The following resolutions, prepared
by leaders of the party, were read and
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Board of Health of this city has
declared - Chinatown" nuisance and its executive
officer has issued his order that the nuisance must
be abated by the withdrawal of the Chinese from
the city in thirty days. and the Board OF Supervisors
at its meeting last evening unanimously eoncurred
in the proprety and necessity OF said action.
Resolred, That We nail with joy tins action of the
Board OF Health as furnishing practical and peace
able method Of beginning the work OF relieving this
city and State of the odious presence of this alien,
degrading and degraded people, and that we will
use every eXerton to preserve quiet and good order
among the people, and renuer any assistance in our
power to the Board of Health in carrying out to
success the good work they have undertaken.
Resoiued That while the marching of our friends
through the Streets and calls upon corporations has
accomplished much good in calling the attention Of
the nublic to the needy condition of labOrinor
classes STILL in view OF the encouragement afforded
us by the aciion Of the Board OF Health we advise
cessation for the present OF this method OF making
their wants known to the public, in the hope that
The public will heed their appeals and furnish the
relief they ask.
WHEt EAs, 1t is reported, and We have reason to
believe, that certain parties connected with the po
lice and others have, in secret concave determined
upon violent measures to resist the enforcement of
the law against the Chinese and, whereas, have
reason TO apprehend that the same rash eounsels
may prevail again which resulted in the attempted
assassination OF our verify Mayor; and, Whereas
the actO of the Board of Supervisors last evening"
in increasing the police force to 900 men, is
accessory and unwarranted expense to TIE city and
oy practically carrying out these Ubiquitous plans
and suggestions; therefore,
Resided That we deprecate and denounce any
lawiesS attempt from any source whatever, and de-
clare ourselves uuhesitatngIy and unreservediy in
favor of peaceful process the surest and
speediest solution OF ali our difficulties.
ReSol1ed, That while we discountenaGce all law
leSSueSs, and warn ur friends !. org the Working
men against it, vet wish 1t understood and z We
deliberate notice that on the perpetration Of any
outage upon any OF oHr friends or leaders, or the
employment OF any police or other force to interfere
with the peaceful operation Of the law in the abate
ment OF the Chinese nuisance, or any accession to
the infamous demands OF the craven Chinese Con
sui, Mr. Bee, for foreign military interference,
ore ready to assert and maintain our sts, ayenge
friends and visit upon 10 designing minions OF
power, backed up though they Ihay be by cowardly
capitalists and corporations unishnent swift
and terrible that the reader OF the history will shud
der at the record. We have kept the peace-we in
tend to Keep the peacebut are not to be triiied
with The law must be obeyed the Chinese must
90. We know our rights, and knowing, dare main
tain them.
In a speech On the resolutions Mayor Kali
loch said In these resolutions everything is
conservative and housekeeping. [ think we
are doing well. | gave the men who marched
in the procession God-speed and told them
to cry aloud until their cries were needed,
but L do advise under existing circumstances,
and in view of the excited public feeling, that
there be cessation of the marching for
few days. A continuance of professions may
interfere with plans for providing work for
the unemployed.
This forenoon William T. Coleman called
on the Mayor, and they had long confer
ence. 1t is understood that Mr.. Coleman
visited the Mayor as a delegate from mer-
chants and property-owners.
As far as can be ascertained, Vice Consul
Bees inceadiary remarks were made in a
speech, wherein he expressed the wish that
rioters would not be restrained from going
into Chinatown. He said, il they go there,
they would get reception which they never
would forget
