reports the strikers at Sc

prehends no disturbance. He will not
say that all danger has passed. and he
cannot say what ma. occur. The strik-
ers are all citizens OF Sedalia, many
owning houses and property, and the
destruction Of property necessarily in
wolves loss to them. He met the lead
ers of the strike who said they would
,Only accept a restoration OF former
wages. a written promise was given
hun, signed by the executive committee
will be allowed to run and
property not be tempered with. AS an
evidence OF tho widespread influence Of
the strike, he said the leaders told him
let other companies run freight trains
was because of conflicting agreements
with strikers at other points to hold out
until the ie hands of all tho strikers ON
the eutire Gould system had been
= agreed to. The militia from st. Louis
has been saitching back and forth be-
tween this place and Centretown, about
10 miles from here, since their arrival
yesterday, and are now in camp ut the
latter place, awaiting orders from the
governor. This morning com
mttee of citizens and strikers
from Sedalia arrived and waited on
Gov. Marmaduke. He made an ap.
pointment for IL o'clock, when confer
ence was held. The committee assured
the governor of the orderly condition of
affairs ut sedalia, and the utter useless
ness of armed forces, and r. quested that
the militia be ordered back 10 ST. Louis.
!. The governor replied that unless there
was urgent necessity, the troops would
not be sent to Sedalia, but that tho law
must not he violated, and That trains
must be allowed TO run. Further, he
intended to keep tte militia on hand at
close call until matters had been salts
factorily adjusted, and there was no
fear of disturbance.
