be the first TO make trouble in the event OF
riotous demonstrations in the city.
To-day copy of the circular was received
by mail at police headquarters, together
with two letters from citizens representing
that threats had been made in certain quar-.
ters to foment disturbance and apply the
torch. Threatened localities are mentioned
but are kept secret by the police. The act
ing-superintendent thought the matter OF
sufficient importance to provide extra pre-
cautions, and, alter conference with the
president OF the board, be sent out orders
10 the precinct captains ordering the en-
tire reserve force on duty for the night.
They will remain in the station-houses
subject to a call from headquarters. A
large force of police will be sent to
Cooper Institute to suppress any riotous
demonstrations.
TEXT OF THE CIRCULAR.

tute tonight. 1t is printed in English and
