SEATTLE, W. T., Feb. 8.-Yesterday the
Anti Chinese Committee, headed by the
chief of police, and accompanied by a
large crowd, proceeded to Chinatown,
where everything movable was placed in
wagons and driven TO the dock, where the
Queen of the Pacific lay, ready to sail for
San Francisco. Tit Cinnamon made no
resistance and generally acquiesced with
good grace. The police force generally
sided with the crowd and made no effort
to stop the work Of removal. Governor
Squire ia in town, and issued q proclama-
ton warning the mob to desist, and order
ing the militia companies Of the city to
place themselves under arms and assist
the Sheriff. This was received by bowls OF
defiance when read to the crowd. About
400 Cinnamon, in the warehouse on the
dock, were prevented from returning
home by the crowd. The officers OF the
Queen of the Pacific refused to take the
Cinnamon without tickets. A collection
was raised and enough was subscribed to
pay the passage Of about 100, and these
were received on board. The Queen OF
the Pacific wal detained in the hope that
some arrangements would be made for the

joined from sailing until the writ can be
heard this morning.

At an early hour this morning the
militia and home guards marched to the
Ocean dock, where the Cinnamon were
confined. and took charge Of them. War
rants had previously been issued for the
arrest OF prominent agitators. Before
daylight the work OF srresting them
began, and by 8 o'clock all the leaders
were in jail. They were Immediately
bailed out. All the Cinnamon on board
the Queen were marched to the Court
house by the militia, in answer to the
writs of habeas corpus sworn out yester-
day. No opposition was made to the
move. Judge Greene informed each
Chinaman that he was at perfect liberty
to 20 or stay as he chose. A vast ma
jority chose TO leave. They were accord
ingly escorted to the steamer, and those
who wished to stay were escorted TO their
homes without collision or bloodshed.
Up to this time there had been no blood
shed, although the streets were crowded.

on the home guards by q few hotheads.

and responded with q volley. Four men
fell, one was killed and three were
wounded. Their names are Bernard
Mulrsne, killed; james Murphy, special
policeman, shot through the arm; John
smith, shot through the right arm. One
other, name unknown, was shot through
the head or fatally wounded. The mill

mob at bay for fully an hour. The
crowd then slowly melted away. Intense
excitement prevails and danger Of fur

orally suspended. The Queen sailed at !
