Notwithstanding the fact that the Union
Pacific announced few days ago that they
would no longer permit Beckwith. Quinn
& Company, coal contractors. to work Chi.
namen In their mines. and would ship them
out Of the country. seven hundred Celestials
arrived at four O'Clock yesterday afternoon
from Evanston. They were accompanied
by four companies Of troops, increasing the
| force Of soldiers at this point to six c0mpa-
nies. The Cinnamon will be domiciled In
the freight house until their cabins are re-
built. The announcement was made last
night that the Chinese will 20 to work in
the mines this morning and that white men
would not be permitted to work any more.
The plan Is to protect the Chinese with
troops until the white men are forced tn
leave town, when the troops can b. with
drawn. No demonstration against the Ce-
lestials has been made as yet, but it is safe
to say that serious trouble will ensue as
soon rs the opportunity affords. The
presence OF no large body OF
soldiers will prevent any open act of vio-
ience but the white miners assert that the
Chinese must 60 in spite of Uncle Sans
protection. Hundreds Of vumOrs were asioat
last night regarding the plans, and soldiers
and citizens are in state of suppressed cx-
element, momentariiy expecting IN out

have been surrounded by a strong picket
line, and all the buildings belonging to
the company, Beckwith, Quinn II Co. IS store.

the different mines are all under guarl. a.
it is said the miners have threatened TO
blow them M. The situation is serious in
the extreme, and the feeling prevails every
where that on account of the bringing Of
Cinnamon back. The destruction of property
by fire and explosives is sure TO follow. and
it Is not unlikely that general strike may
ensue, as the employees all along the line OF
tbs road are in sympathy with the miners.
