An Uneasy Feeling In the Community.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 24.-The city officials
and citizens who were present at the secret
conference yesterday are very reserved 10
their statements as TO the object of tho meet

concerned wa 'er.rates and an increase of

understood that none of the partci pants should

the matter of increasing the police force was
discussed among other things. lie laughed at
a suggestion made by u city official not present
at the meeting, that its object was to oppose
the condemnation of Cinnamon, or to put down
the agitation by the unemployed. The oxecu-

While great many citizens consider that
tho threats of the Sand Lot leaders are mere
idle vaporings for the sake OF effect, IL cannot
be denied that an uneasy feeling exists. A
sense of uncertainty AS to what may occur in

prive the Western Union of the control of the
