O'DONNELL EXULTANT.
His inpromptu Mass Meeting on
Third Street Last Night.

When Or. c. c. O'Donnell drove up In a
hack to the corner of Third and Market
streets at o'clock last evening he found a
small crowd of hundred or so waiting
for him, but it did not take five minutes to
swell the audience to a thousand or more.
The result of this was an awkward
blockade of streetear traffic, for the in
creasing crowd almost completely blocked
Third street as far down as Stevenson and
spread in Il broad. wedge-shaped mass
over to Kearny street. There was but one
cry-"The Chinese must go!"
Police Sergeant Tobin, who was present
with a squad of police, approached 0'Don-
nell and demonstrated with him, pointing
out how illsuited the spot was for a public
meeting and indicating the sidewalks on
Third street TO show how seriously pedes-
trian traffic was interfered with.
O'Donnell was not, however. in a mood
to be triaed with by any mere policeman
or squad of police. and be promptly notified
Tobin that to disturb public meeting wns

liable to arrest.
The crowd, which was largely composed
of workingmen. paIpaby sided with the
perpetual candidate for Mayor. and as

LABOR is GLAD.
The Toilers Commend the Supreme
Court and Say 1t Is a Great
Day for the State.

Labor smiled yesterday. His wrinkles
were smoothed out and the crows feet un-
der his eyes were eliminated from his
visage when he was informed that the
United States Supreme Court had declared
the Geary act Constitutional.
The laborer was not alone in his rejoic-
ing. With him were the cigar manufac-
turers, the shoemakers, the fruit-canners,
and others who have been injured in bus-
ness by the Chinese.

Special to THE MoRN1Ne CALL

WASHINGTON, May 15.-MeNulty and
Vincent must hang. The United States
Supreme Court dlsmsses the writ. Carroll
Cook was present when Chief Justice Full
ler read the opinion of the court in the
McNulty and Vincent cases.
The decision Of the court in effect is that
It cannot interfere with the decree OF the
California courts in its construction of a
California law. II the California court
had not gone back on its first decision and
delivered another opinion on another
phase of the case, the United States court
might have entertained the motion.
Cook has obtained from the court ten
days stay of mandate in order to give him
time to secure stipulatioas from the Attor-
ney- General. Cook says he has two other
appeals pending in California courts, and
something further will be done upon his
return to California about June l. He ad-
mits, however, that the cases of McNulty
and Vincent are well nigh hopeless, as are
also those of Bruggy and others. IN which
the same questions are involved.

awaiting the death sentence pending the

that an adverse ruling had been given he
took the matter stoically and refused to
say anything in regard to the fate that
now awaits him. The death watch Will be
placed on him tomorrow.
Upon being informed of the decision.
McNulty said he was not surprised and
that he supposed his last chance had now
gone. He felt satisfied his attorney had
done all that was possible to save him. He
found some solace in the thought that lie
had outIiyed some of the witnesses against
him. McNulty has had the death watch
set on him three times already. A petition
to Governor Markham in his behalf may
be the next thing looked for.
