kellogg and Gen. Johu K. Brooke hadt
three hours conference to-day, Gen. ~
Brooke IS the officer who received the
State armstrom McEnery and Penn,
and rs it Is said that number Of arms
are missing, it IS probable that the
council was held to adopt measures, for
their recovery. Notice win be given
by the proper authorities to return
them, failing in which the United
States military will be enpluyed to re-
cover the arms. II is Known thattlie
council regard the situation Of the city
as dangerous that the stations OF the
troops were ordered TO be made in the
strongest positions, and that no force
is to leave the city, and that one bait
terry was ordered tu the city from the.

KELLOGG TO WILLIAMS. ..
Governor Ike llogg to~dav telegraphed
to Attorney General Williams. pro-
testing against the removal Of any
troops from this State, and declaring
that the insurrectiouary spirit here
was now rife, and better ready for de-
cisivc action than at any previous
time.
THE PROPOSED ARRESTS.
Governor Kellogg informed your
correspondent this morning that he
knew nothing Of the proposed arrest Of
the leaders in the recent riot.
4 correspondent of same date at1l
p. NJ, says: l....
White League officials have a dis.
patch from Washington that states

THE WHITE LEAGUES. 10
The White League meeting tonight
was the largest ever held in the city
One OF their leaders, reliable, prom
inent citizen and no aiarmist, who op-
posed the fight, but was ia 1t, and al
terward worked for compromise, told
your spondeuC Tonight thut the
city League had nearly niae thousand
well-armed aud wen drilled men, who
were only waiting the order 10 make
fight. Their tuuc Was not fixed, bus
would be very 5000, rs they were des-
perate and determined upon getting
rid OF Kellogg, no matter what might
he the consequences. Arrests for State
treason or search for State arms, owing
TO mistakes liable TO be made in the
latter effort might precipitate it, but
when the time came, The United States
solGieTy would be takeu.. g.if.. .... T. =.
There is a false report here about
Presidential anxiety fora compromise
Kellogg and Packard deny 1t, and r
there is no doubt but that an effort is
being made at Washington to test the
amiability of Kellogg's opponents by
the most extreme measures.
