STOCKTON, Aug. 18.-COnsiderable ex-
element was caused here this evening
when meeting of laboring men was held
on Hunter square to take up the anti
chinese movement and run the undesira-
Ole. CLASS out OF Stockton. The police were
spprised of the meeting and were stationed
in.the crowd to stop any unlawful demon
stration, but the uprising ended in the talk
ozone mau and promise TO assemble
again tomorrow night and notify the
Chinese to leave. The speaker was a book
agent and general canvasser named P. P.
Cox, who has been in the State six years.
: He was called to the top of barrel, in
the absence of the speaker who was ex.
peeted to harangue the crowd, and made
Loud denunciation of the national admin
istrati0n for not enforcing the Geary act.
He urged the crowd to appoint commit
tee tomorrow night to give the Chinese
timely notice to leave, but to do it in an
orderly manner and with proper respect
for law. The speaker was cheered and,
enthused by the applause. raised his voice
for the protection of labor. The meeting
dispersed without organization, but the
police and the Sheriff's forces will be pre-
pared for any break tomorrow night.
There is belief among the police that
Cox was put forward to make show Of
himself, and the fun ended when he closed
his harangue.
