FRISCO CARS ARE RUNNING
Twenty Lines Operated During Part

Little Disorder.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 12-Fifty street
cars were operated today from 10 o'clock
IN the morning until O'Clock in the even
ing over two of the twenty-odd lines conf
posing the United Railroads system. For
the first time since the commencement of
the strike last Sunday cars were run to-
day TO the ferries. About 5000 passengers,
a majority OF them women, patronized the
service.
There was very little disorder during the
day in comparison with the hve days pre-
vious. Thousands OF persons evidently re-
garded the published injunctions and pri-
vate warnings and remained indoors for
the Sunday crowds were much smaller than
usual Unquestionahly the firm stand taken
by Governor GilIett when he announced
through this mornings press that he would
Judge the San Francisco situation by the
acts of the people and would not hesitate
a moment 70 call out the militia If riotins
should be continued had a SOLDERING effect
on trouble makers whose acts of violence
made the history OF the past week dis
graceful and bloody occasion.
Five hundred police guarded the streets
through which the fifty cars were run, but
they had little to do. Isolated instances OF
misconduct on the part Of individual police
men were noted, but on the whole the fiYe-
seventh of the entire force Of the depart
ment gave adequate protection to the two
lines that were In operation.

erto had been undoubted. large number
of plotters. the correspondent says was
necessitated by the elaborate precautions
adopted nowadays TO protect imperial per-
sonages.
The plan was, the correspondent says,
20 approach Tsarskoe-seloe in distinct
groups and then execute a sudden and
daring attack on the palace. The first
group, consisting OF thirty-four men, ar
rived on the Russian Goodfridsy. when
from some means suspicion against them
was aroused, the thirty-four OF them were
arrested at TsarskOe-Selo and documents
found in their possession led TO the ap-
prehension OF the other members of the
band In St. Petersburg.
