SAN Francisco, March 24.-The
troubles here have broken out
afresh. The sand-lot has resumed
its fulminations. The newspaper
war has broker out again and ap>
parently all recent pacific plans
between the committees and the
leaders of the citizens union pros
tective party and the workingmen's
party has been thrown aside by
both. This state of affairs has
resulted from disagreements between
the conference committees, aggra-
waited by the recent sentences i'm
posed upon the sand>lot orators for
using incendiary language, and is
complicated with the coming local
election, the election of a state
senator and the combinations on
foot respecting the United States
senatorship. The situasion is more
unsatisfactory than ever.
