London, Feb. 10. An immense mob formed at Dept. Ford this morn ing, and came marching toward the city smashing iu the house fronts on their line or march. They were be lieved to bo en route to Trafalgar square to repeat their previous per formances and police were placed on the bridges to prevent the mob from reaching their destination. Many of the small shops have already been sacked. The immense establishment of Tarn & Co., although guarded by police was overrun, sacked and badly wrecked. All the shops are being closed and barricaded. It is announced that a mammoth labor congress will meet at Hyde Park on Saturday. Shut Down. Owing to the extremely low price of coal in San Fraucisco, and the dif ferences between the coal miners and the mine owners, which apparently caunot bo adjusted, orders were re ceived by Mr. Miluer yesterday to shut the Newcastle or Coal Creek mines down indefinitely. This is a very unpleasant piece of news to record, but nothing more than could be expected by those who have kept posted as to the condition of affairs at Newcastle. The closing down of these mines will throw hundreds of men out of employment in the county, and tend to make times harder and money scarcer. -Seattle Post-Intelligence r, 7. farmer ami 31eeliasiics.

Although the gravest apprehension has been felt throughout the day, no collision has taken place. The militia still hold the city and strict martial law is enforced. The streets have been thronged all day, the city being filled with strangers. A feeling of the most intense bitter ness prevails on all sides, and the situation could not well be more grave. The governor's first call on the president for troops was made Sunday, and it was expected that the answer would be prompt. It was un derstood that troops from Vancouver would arrive this morning, but it now transpires they have not yet re ceived orders, and have not left Vancouver. The militia have been on duty continuously since Sunday morning, and are utterly worn out. No words can express the anxiety of the citizens for the presence of fed eral troops. Appeal after appeal has been sent to the president, and many senators and other prominent men have been telegraphed to urge him to take action. The Chinese question does not now seem to figure, but has been lost sight of in the bitterness engendered by yesterday's conflict. While there is no doubt that the Home Guards were attacked before firing, and that they acted in self defense, the bitter est imprecations are heard against them. The authorities are determined, and ready for any emergency. The citizens are generally responding to the call for volunteers, and many have been enrolled. The cadet corps of the territorial university were sworn into the service of the territory this evening, and are now quartered with the militia. This afternoon the authorities took charge of all fire-arms and ammuni tion to be found in stores in the city, and removed them to the court house. This was done to preclude any attempt being made to seize them. Charles Stewart, one of the men injured in yesterday's conflict, died to-day. His death had the effect of increasing the bitter feeling. There is talk of making his funeral the oc casion of a grand demonstration. QUEER SIGNS.

CAUTION COUNSELED. Tho firsrmovement of the anti-Chinese agitators, having the semblance of resistance to the legal authorities, was met by a prompt discharge of fire-arms and the killing and wound ing of several men. In London on the same day a mob of fifty thousand strong raged through the streets for twelve hours without a single life paying tho penalty of their excesses. The police and constabulary of the entire city were in service resisting and arresting the rioters, but under no provocation on either side wa3 life taken. At Seattle the first offen sive movement on the part of a few of the people gathered to witness the escort of the Chinese from the ship to their quarters by the Home Guards, seems to have been accepted as provocation enough to warrant indiscriminate shooting into the crowd. Ordinarily, under such cir cumstances, some warning is regard ed essential before resorting to the shedding of blood. This warning is usually given by first discharging blank cartridges and then reloading the guns with ball in the presence of the mob. No warning, whatever. seems to have been given at Seattle. The Home Guards acted as if they had been specially organized to shoot down anti-Chinese agitators at the first opportunity to do so, and keep witum the pale or the law. There is no evidence so far as the reports in dicate that any of the Home Guards were in danger of serious bodily harm. The only charitable construc tion to be placed on their hasty ac tion is that they became nervous and unduly excited, and failed to exercise the coolne33 absolutely essential under such circumstances to avoid doing harm and intensifying rather than allaying popular disorder. This at least is the view that many dispas sionate people will take of the trans action in the light of the reports sent by telegraph. lint this is only an additional rea son why the workingmen, and mem bers of the anti-coolie law and order associations, should exercise the greatest caution and self-restraint They have legal and peaceful reme dies within their reach that will prove more eneciive man Duiiets or oay onets. The anti-Chinese movement is in one sense a social movement. It is for tho protection of American la bor and American homes from a for eign invasion more destructive to their peace and prosperity than if the foe came with arms in their hands in tent on war. The workingmen may make it a social question in every sense, lurougu tneir organizations they may compel every portion of the community to choose between American and Chinese laborers be tween American homes and Chinese lodging houses between Caucasian enlightenment and Asiatic civiliza tion of the most debased and servile character. To accomplish this le sult, they have only to advance in the line they have already selected. They have, so far, the right of choice in this country, but upon the manner in which they exercise the right will depend its duration. They can say, without being shot down, that they will have nothing whatever to do with those who take sides against them in favor of the Chinese, socially or financially. This is a simple for mula, but a strictly legal one, and if generally adopted and enforced, will prove more powerful than spasmodic uprisinge, ending in greater disorder if not disaster.
