The Local Authorities Not as Idl
as Supposed.

0S SAHROSOA'
New YORK, April PIT seems that
the local authorities have not been so
idle during the last week or ten days,
in arranging to cope with riot, as
many people have supposed. Prepara-
tions have been made at most Of the
armories for a sudden call out, and
there has been a great deal of activity
behind the walls of the State arsenal
at Seventh Avenue and Thirty. fifth
street. The Forty-seventh regiment,
Of Brooklyn, was under arms the night
of the riot in Green Point, and the
day after. 1t has leaked out also that
a squad of Earle's battery, whose head
quarters have been in the armory of
the Twelfth regiment at Broadway
and Forty sixth street, was put on
duty night and day as long ago as
Wednesday and Thursday of last
week. The Gatling gun was trans
ferred a night or two ago under
strong guard of police to the arse
nal, and the battery has since had its
rendezvous there. There is an effort
on the part of the authorities to keep
the whole matter quiet. The officer
in charge of the arsenal says he is not
allowed to give out information.
