THE ARMY MUST MOVE ON. Mayor Steinman's Plain Talk to Captain Williams. The City Cannot Do Any More for the Men, and They Must Go or be Arrested. The men now at Agricultural Park, most of whom came from Stockton, will probably disband to-day and leave the city by squads. Yesterday J.

D. Jost, a local labor agi- I tator, succeeded in inducing Supervisors Morrison, Miller and Todd, several of the City Trustees and Chief of Police i Drew to hold a conference with the lead- ers for the purpose of considering the situation. There were a number of private citizens present also. Jost's proposition was for the authori- to provide transportation and lood for the men at the Park. Mayor Steininan came in about the time the meeting had got under way and asked what it was called for and by whose authority.

"We may as well stop this thing right now, gentlemen," said he. "This is only the beginning, and crowd after crowd will come here as long as we will care for them. It would bankrupt the richest city under the sun. It must stop right here, and there is uo use of dallying with it any longer." The Mayor then called the Trustees and the Chief of Police into his room, and they held a consultation with closed doors. When they came out he addressed Captain Williams, saying: "We can do no more for your men.

You must find work or leave the city. You are an intelligent man, and know as well as Ido that this city cannot feed I your men and give them transportation simply because they are uauded together. We have our own poor to take care of, and must look after them first. "The best thing you can do is to disband and look for work. You will get it much quicker in that way.

Your army must leave the city, tor we cannot have so many men here begging on the streets, and if it be persisted in we will have to arrest them." Supervisor Morrison stated to the Mayor that the Supervisors had made arrangements to give the men their supper auti breakfast, thus ministering to their wants till Friday. "Very well," said the will tide you over till morning, but you must get out of the city. If your men are found begging on the streets after that they will be arrested. That's all i have to say." The Captains seemed downcast over the situation, and went away with Chair- man Morrison to arrange about the supper. AGITATORS AT WORK.

Captain Williams ssays He Will Stny rtiul Fight It Out. About 9 o'clock last night a Recokii- Union reporter visited Agricultural Park and found a meeting in progress there. Speeches had been made to the men by A. B. Sanborn and Noble Fisher, and J.

D. Jost was then just concluding his harangue. lie ranted against the newspapers, captalists and otiice-holders, aud told the men that these were responsible for the condition things that hud brought them there. In winding up his remarks he told them that "necessity knows no law." He declared tliat with very few exceptions, liiure iiii'in't been an honest man elected 1 lo oince in twenty years. When the speaking was ended the men wero lonued into companies in military lashion and passed iv review by moonlight irout of the stand occupied by the speakers.

While this was going on the reporter usked Captain Williams what he proposed to do to-day. "Nothing, that I know of," was tho reply. "Hut we don't intend to leave here. We can't foot it, and if we were to capture a train of cars we would be dropped oil' in the mountains. "No, I think we'll just stay here and fight out." Captain Williams added that the officers would hold another conference during the night, but ho did not think any other conclusion would be arrived at.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION. Professor Gnyley's Fifth Lectnre on "Evolution of English Comedy." Profesgor Gayley last night delivered i his lecture on the "Evolution of English Comedy" at the Supreme Courtroom, and it proved not less interesting than its predecessors. The subject treated was the school of manners and the period that embraced between Colley Cibber, 1071, and George Farqubar, 1707. He gave an extended reading from "The Uelapse." by Sir John Vanbrugh, considering Lord Parliugton the best character of a fop in the comely of the time, and saying that If such comedies here were revised aud put on the stage to-day many would go to the theater who now stay away, because they do not care for the trashy plays put on. He said at the beginning of this period incident and plot were carelossly chosen and loosely constructed, but they were more BkillUlTly handled by c'ongreve.

Yanbrugh and Farquhar. Cheap realism in characterization had the result of producing clever mannerisms. He spoke of the decline of social comedy and alluded to Aphra Behn, Mrs. Mauley and Mrs. I Ceutilevre as a three-headed monstrosity.

The latter, however, created the characters of Marplot and Sir Felix, which were followed by others. At "this period manners were either conventionally sketched in outline or daubed in with disgusting details and unpoetic exaggeration. Business and interest gained in rapidity, but not in essential sequence. It was the period of decay of social and dramatic morality. The third stage was the Hanoverian comedy, lrom the rise or the modern novel, about from which comedy declined, to the rise of the melodrama, It was an interesting question, said he, whether the novel supplanted the comedy or not.

The realistic novel is beginning to give way to the romantic. Will wo, in the future, have a revival of the comedy of manners or romantic comedy Steele was the founder of the comedy in response to the awKKening of the moral sense and the protest of tho people against the license and vulgarity of the stage. ON SUSPICION. Boys 'Jhoufiht to Have Jiobbed a Grocery Officers Bagley, Higguis and Talbot yesterday arrested five youngsters--John Galgani, R.

Police Captain Greene has the satisfaction of knowing that he was the means of saving a man's lite last night. He was passing along Second street, between I and and when near the Colombo Hotel he saw one man spring at another, with one arm outstretched and holding a big carving-knife, at the same using the word "bastardo!" coupled with an oath. Greene sprang forward just in time to i grasp the man's arm, and forced him back upon a seat by the door of the boarding house, and directiy over a grating in the sidewalk. He saw the man slide something down by his side and heard it fall through the grating. He took the prisoner to the i police station, where he gave the name of l.ouis Koselia, and locked him up on a ciiarge of assault with a deadly weapon on Antonio Morella.

Greene then went back to the scene of the affray, and in the basemeut found I the long knife which Koselia had dropped through the grating. It is a murderouslooking weapon, being long enough to run entirely through man's body. A DEAR PAIR OF HORNS. The One J.iabU< to Cost Aleck Drugnn Ills Liberty.

In a Few Days the Service Will be Hunts by Sunday Night. The Electric Railway Company found it to be considerably more of a tusk tbau had been supposed to get its generator into position for operating the street cars.

A large number of men are at work preparing for getting it in place at the Pioneer Box Factory, on Front street, and the work will probably be completed today. The location is not far from the former electric plant, and connection can readily be made with the wires supplying electricity to the various lines. It is expected that the car service will bo about per cent, of what it was before Wednesday's fire. Since the above was put in type last night it was learned from L. T.

Hatiield, the company's attorney and agent, that another plant will be put in right away at some other point and the full streetcar service re-established at a very early day. Albert Gallatin came up from San Francisco last night, and from him it was learned that the large 260-horse power generator that is now being put in place was obtained lrom the Southern Pacific Company, being one of four that they had received for use a few months hence.

A large gang of mon were at work all night, and will be replaced by others this morning, aud it is expected that a few hours hence will see the cars again in motion. The necessary poles have been set aud the cable hangs ready for counecliou in a moment after the generator is set.
