SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-Fully 10000 per-
sons occupied the Pavilion last night to lis
ten to the grand concert of welcome given
by the combined vocal music societies of
San Francisco and Oakland, to the Grand
Army of the Republic. There were 7C0

miration from those present. By S o'clock
the crush was so great that the doors had to
be closed. The concert was closed by the
singing of America - in which the immense
audience joined. The singing of this nation

siasm as was never equalled on the Pacific

No Further Demonstration Against
the Squire Employees.

Boston, August 5.-Once more quiet
reigns at East Cambridge, and no further
acts of violence have occurred since last
evenings riot. The men were not troubled
in the least as they went in to work this
morning nor at noon when they came OUT
The advice received by the idle men at the
Knights of Labor meeting last evening has
evidently had a salutary effect already, and
the appointment of thirty OF their number as
guards to assist the police, certainly shows
that the men as body do not approve OF
violence or bloodshed. Valleyley, the in
iured teamster, was reported in a comforta
BILE condition this morning, but unable to
appear in court at the trial of his asSallant,
Dinan, whose case was continued untll tne
18th inst. The defendant was ordered to
recognize in $1,000, but could not OBTAIN
bonds and was committed to jail. Another
man named James Mccarthy for throwing
stones at the employees was fined $50 and
costs by Judge Mcdaniel and placed under
5000 bonds to keep the peace for one year.
Although he was sent to Jail in default, he
expected to receive bail before the close OF
the day. In commenting upon the cases,
Judge Mcdaniel said that he thought the
full penalty of the law should be imposed on
the guilty ones, who should be made to real
ize the gravity of their offences; 49,
Mr.. Newman, the old teamster who has
remained by Mr.. Squire so far through
thick and thin, failed to put in an appear
ance this morning, but his absence is attrlb-
uted to fear. On the contrary, Mr.. Crowley,
who was one of the special objects of attack
by the mob Wednesday night, bobbed up
serenely this morning as usual, and refused
the offer of police protection on his way
home to dinner.
Mr. Squire was also on hand this morning
bright and early. He said that he had sew
eral teams on the road and should continue
to have, even if they had to be driven to
Boston between two rows of soldiers.
1t is understood that the thirty men ap-
pointed Wednesday night by the Knights for
guard duty are TO be sworn in before this
evening for special policemen. The police
with the assistance of the pickets appointed
by the knights, have been enabled to adopt
a better system patrol work, and it is to-
dav almost an impossibility for any trouble
to occur without immediate detection. Mr..
Squire said this morning that while he hated
to say much about the Cambridge police, the
prevailing opinion was that they did not
amount to much. The most Of them,, he as
serted, were in sympathy with, the locked
out men. and they consequently were not
doing their duty by him and his emp ployes.
Although a repetition of last night troupit
is hardly anticipated this evening, an extra
large force of police will be in readiness foI
action and every protection Will be anoroeo
the WOrkmeu.

ON A TECHNICAL POINT.
Rights of the Secretary of State in
the Absence of the Governor.

LEWISTON, August 5.-There was no hear
ing before Judge Cornish of the Municipal
Court, this morning, in the case of the Chi
cago officer, Grove, who has been sued for
$4,000 damages for false Imprisonment by
Thomas jenkins, on requisition papers is
sued by the Secretary of State.
The point involved is question of law,
and the parties interested have brought it
before the law court of the State, and it will
be tried at Portland before Judges Walton
and Haskell of the Supreme Bench.
Sheriff Smith says he has received a sum-
mons by telegraph to bring all the parties
interested to Portland this afternoon. They
will be accompanied by Judge Wing, who
will appear for Grove. Sheriff Smith says
the question involved hinges ON this point,
whether the Secretary of State has power to
issue papers in the absence of the Governor.
Nobody alleges that Jenkins will not event.
ually have to accompany Grove to Chicago.
The point brought up is simply technical
one.
Jenkins was found in his cell in the
relatives reside in Lewiston and that place
was originally his home. He processes inno-
cence of the crime with which he is charged,
and states as the reason for his sudden de-
parture from Chicago that he heard his
father was sick from lung fever and he
wanted to see him. In regard to his arrest
he says that Grove wanted him to go with
out any trouble, but he told him the case
was in the hands of his relatives and law
thof tbatr o1oip aad hot fbo 1,o
heard before the Governor before requisi-
tion papers could be issued. AS Grove
could not prove anything and had no wit
nesses the papers could not be issued. He
argues that Grove has all the necessary
papers from Illinois.
Officer Grove, against whom suit has been
brought for false Imprisonment, takes the
matter very philosophically He says:
"a cop is used to raps, you know. was
simply acting in the line of my duty. The
necessary papers from the Governor of Illi-
noiS were in my possession, and with them
/ secured the legal documents from the Sec
retary of State If it is necessary to await
the return of Governor Robie. all right; but
| would like to have Sheriff Smith deputize
his present keeper. Officer Haskell. to ac-
company him to Chicago during the hitch"
He is very well satisfied with the treat
ment he has received from the county off
cials. The county officers say it would
have been much better for Jenkins to have
gone without trouble; besides involving his
friends here in enormous bills for lawyers
and costs, eventually he must 60 to Illinois.
If the lower court should decree the papers
irregular, he must stay in Auburn jail, and
when he does finally reach Chicago he will
have to pay the fiddler in full.
