form vanished and a little of the heat and
smoke of the strife had cleared away Mr..
Gunst walked out and glanced through the
letter. And then remarked to a newspaper
man.
81 ought to have thrown them out at
first
The committee that braved the commits
sioner in his den walked to Judge Thomp-
sons Office, where he wrote an account of
the presentation, which all signed as it
will be presented to the committee OF
eleven at its meeting tomorrow at P. NJ
Just what Mr.. Gunst proposes to do is an
uncertainty. Most probably it will be
nothing. He had evidently received a
quiet ''tip'' of the visit yesterday, as he was
ready with the written demand which he
handed to the committee. The members
state that all he asked for is contained in
their letter. AS he did not read it until
after their departure, he will no doubt
await subsequent action on their part with
his written communication. At all events,
the next move will have to be made by
them, as Mr.. Nose Gunst is not indulging
in any sallies Just at present. In fact, he
quits 'fahead of the game" yet. He still
has the office, and their letter into the bar
gain.
The meeting where the committee OF
three was appointed to wait on Mr. Gunst
was one of the committee of eleven APP
pointed at the mass-meeting Saturday
night.
Yesterdays meeting was held in the Off
ces of Mr.. Gaden, in the Academy of Sci
ences building, on Market street. Those
present were: A. w. Thompson, E. S.
Barney, G. B. Williams, H. II. Highton, f.
B. Gibson, J. NJ. Reynolds, G. A. Sumner,
Joseph Leggett, John A. Anthony and g.
7. Gaden, who presided, Mr.. Reynolds be-
ing secretary.
In addition to appointing the committee
to wait on Gunst one consisting of Messrs.
Highton, Reynolds and Thompson was
also selected to formulate plans of action.
This committee will get together shortly
and present programme embracing all
that the main committee wishes to take
hold of.
The following letter was also submitted
and approved, and will be sent to Con-
gresham Mcguire to-day:
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, JAN IA, 1894.
~ LtS IIOfI. james u inquire, W USHLftV-
ton, d. C.-DEAR SIR: Enclosed we send
you copies of a resolution passed at a mass
meeting held last night at Metropolitan
Temple, in this city, one set to be pre-
sented to the President and the other
(regarding the Reilly funding billy to be
presented to both houses of Congress.
They will explain themselves.
The meeting, had it been held at the
Mechanics Pavilion, would have consisted
of 5000 people. 1t was an outpouring
such as is seldom seen in San Francisco.
The temple was filled before 7:30. Thous-
ands could not get in.
We trust that you will urge upon both
the President and Congress the stern ne
cessity for action in each matter. In the
case of the refusal of the Court Commits
sioner and District Attorney to do their
duty something must be done or the peo-
pie will surely resort to stronger methods
than resolutions and appeals.
The people of San Francisco feel that it
is unseemly action for Government Off
Gals to conduct themselves as if they we're
corporation attorneys. They are indignant
that refusal for warrant is made on un-
tenable or technical grounds, knowing full
well that had these officers desired to per-
form their duty they would have seen
to it that no technicalities existed.
Relying upon your influence and action,
we have the honor to be, yours respect
fully, GEORGE T. GADEN, Chairman,
JOHN M. REYNOLDS, Secretary.

and sent last evening:
