AUGUSTA, Jan. 15.-While to the outside public everything is perfectly quiet here it may as well be stated that there is imminent danger of serious outbreak. General Cham berlain is prepared for any possible emergen- cy and has completed all necessary arrange ments to maintain the position he has assumed as guardian of the public peace and custodian of the public property pending the decision of the Supreme Court as to who is the rightful successor of Governor Garcelon. He will not recognize even in the most indirect manner either of the claimants as to the Governorship and neither will he heed until the courts de- cision is rendered any action that may be talk en in the premises either by the Republican or the fusion Legislature.
 The fusion Senate met at 10 and took re- cess until without transacting any business. In the fusionist House the Committee on EIec- s, Westbrook, Republican, to Merritt W. Styles, Democrat, which was carried without opposi- tion and Styles was qualified and took his seat notice was given that hearing would be had this afternoon on the Vassalboro and Embden contested cases. recess was then taken until 4:30 this afternoon. Notice was given of fusion caucus to be held this even- ing.
 In the House this afternoon the chairman of the committee on Elections announced that they were ready to report on two more cases, but would delay until tomorrow to give the parties who hold certificates an op- portunity to appear if they wish. They will report in favor of seating Murray of Vas salboro and Lishirness of Embden. This will make 78 members in the House. with out Hale and Young, Republicans.
 Attorney General McLelland denies the re- port that he has been preparing warrant for the arrest of General Chamberlain. A rumor was rife to day that General Chamberlain had recognized Lamson as Governor, but call at headquarters showed the rumor to be false.
 Lamson to-day sent General Chamberlain an order to reduce the force on guard at the State House, but the latter has not done so, and tonight more than two hundred police men remain on guard. Mayor Nash sent the following letter to General Chamberlain to- day:
 AUeUsrA, Jan. 15. To Major General Chamberlain
 Sir-I have the honor to state that will keep at the Capitol only such police force as in my judgment the events from day to day seem to render necessary for the preservation of peace and the protection of public prop erty. In no case is such force to annoy any person or to interfere with any of his rights and privileges. After this day admission to the building will be confined to members elect to the Legislature, those claiming seats l therein, the State officers and employees and l such other persons as you may direct.
 Very respectfully your obedient servant,
 (signed CHAs: E. NASH, Mayor. Libby today: STATE OF MAINE, EXECUTIVE DEPARrMENT,l

 JOSEPH l.. HANSON, Governor.
 Libby is said to have refused to obey Lan- son. The fusionists to night feel quite conf dent that the court now sitting at Bangor will not entertain the questions submitted by the | Republican Legislature.
 The Committee on Elections are ready to report in the morning in favor of | ,eating w. Murray fusionist, in the Vas ,alboro district, in place of N. Butler, Rep.) | The vote of Nassalboro is thrown outsand the balance of the district elects Murray. This ,hange will give the fusionists 77 in the House. They will probably await the decision of the court before choosing Governor.
 BANGOR, Jan. 15.-The Justices of the Su- oreme Court have not reached decision re- yarding the questions propounded by the Re oublicans. All seven of the Justices, includ- ng Chief Justice Appleton and Associate Jus ices Peters, Barrow, Danforth, Walton, Lib- by and Simonds, are present.
