PRECAUTIONS AGAINST VIOLENCE.

BOsION, Mass, JAM ia dispatch from Augusta

during the afternoon hours were extraordinary
The granise-waed old structure resembled a feudal

vor gained admittance. dotble guard protected
the Governors room. The spacious rOtunda below
swarmed with men. and when any one succeeded in
getting past the guards at the step-gate he was
not admitted to the State House without
scrutiny from the vigilant special sentries who
attended the carefully locked doors The younger
guardsmen on duty did not hesitate to show their
volyers and were anticipating with youthful ardOr
a hot contest with the Fusionist forces, whom they
believed were about to arrive by the railroad. a
special force of about 125 men was detailed to
stand guard on the balcony fronting Statest.
Just before the arrival of the FusiOnist Legisla-
ture on the sidewalk below, the Guard was ordered
into the hall of the House, where it was drawn up
in military order and divided into squads. General
Charles Mattucks of Portland, was in command of
rhis contingent and he appointed Major A. Benson of
Portland, as his adjutant. When the guard was
about to move ont to the balcony General Mattucks
ordered the men to break step. fearing that the
measured tread of so many would be heard by the
Fnsioniss on the sidewalk three hundred feet dis

and succeeded in making 10 unnecessary noise.
They were all armed with revoivers and from their

rxPLAYArIoS-wHATs SECRETARY scHURz SAYS.
lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, JAM 19.-Indan affairs continue to
sngross large share of public attention in Wash
ington.
The House Committee on Indian Affairs continued
to-day its investigation of the which led to
the Ute outbreak. General Fisk was examined as
q witness and it is learned from members of the
committee that his testimony made strong JIM
preston.
General Fisk said that the discomfort OF the Utes
began soon after the publication of the Brunot
compact under which they ceded part of their
lands. Ouray firmly declares that the COM
pact as published is not the one 10
which the Indians agreed; that the cesson
as declared includes agricultural lands, which
they told Mr.. Brunot over aud over again that they
could not spare. General Fisk submitted forinspec-
lion of the committee diagram, drawn yesterday
by Chief Ouray, which shows the ceSsion of lands
which the Utes intended to make, and also the
sion which the Brunot compact describes.
General Fisk then adverted to the nOn-pay-
mcnt of the money due the Utes under the Brunot
compact, as another cause of discomfort. He
described the failure to send supplies to the Utes,
and said that that failure aggravated their dis
content. Referring TO the reported mpractcability
Of hauling supplies to the White River Agency
In the month of September General Fsk reminded
the committee that Major Thornburgh found it
possible TO take his supply train within few miles
Of the agency as late as last October.
General Fisk then went on to say that
In his opinion another cause of discon-
tent was the mistake made in taking the
domination of Agent Danforths successor
out of the hands of the missionary society which
had sent him into the field. Mr. Danforth, he un-
derstood. felt compelled to retire from the agency
At the end of four years faithful ser
