polnta sufficient number OF Sergeants-at.Arms to
take peaceabe possession OF tile State House. to
remove the armed force which increases the public
disquet, and to seat all the members
OF the House. whether opposed to him or not He
promises that no violence shall be used against any
member, nor indignity nor force against the police,

they resist constitutional authority. He Will not,
however, take such a step without having 1t dis
tinctly understood that said action is not rOtous,

General as conflict with the federal authorities;
and he asks General Emory whether he Will, by
military force, prevent such action BY the Speaker
OF the House for Its reinstatement In Its hail.
