Time, 2:20 IL, the best ever made

Chicago, Nov. 2l.-The Tribune's
Washington special says Judge Po-
land declines to talk at length of
Arkansas matters, but says there
need not be the slightest apprehen
sion of any breach of the peace or
bloodshed growing out of the pc
culiar condition of things in that
State. Smith is not strong enough
to make a fight, even if he were so
disposed, while the Garland party
would not offer the slightest resist
ance to the smallest body of United
States troops, if they should be sent
there to install Smith in the guber-
material office. The committee had
about finished taking testimony but
they were importuned by the Gar
land party to remain few days Ion
ger to receive some further testimony
documentary and otherwise, which
it was desired to submit. 1t was
thought hardly necessary for both
Poland and Ward to remain, how
ever, and the matter was finally adj
justed by leaving Ward there with
the Assistant Sergeant at Arms and
official reporter. Poland disposes of
the story that he was telegraphed by
the Attorney General to come on
here by explaining that Judge Will
lialns merely requested him to stop
here on his way home.
