Governor Waite Kicking Up
,ss.. Lively Row in Colorado.
Troops Still on Duty and the Excite
ment at Fever Pitch.
Steps Being Taken to Decide Sanity Of the
WarIike Governor.

DENVER, Col, March 16.-Eary this
morning Governor Waite invited the squad
of militia that stood guard about his home,
last night, into the house for breakfast,
alter which be ordered it to the armory
He then went quietly to his Office and soon
after was closeted with Gen. McCook.
This evening the Governor announced
that the proposition to submit to the su.
preme court The question Of rightful claim
ants to the offices of police commissioner ,
would probably be accepted by him, but be
wanted a little more time to think it over.
1.-The troops will remain" said Gen.
McCcok, s.un.il all signs of trouble is
ended. We shall keep peace. prevent
bloodsbed and preserve federal property
from attack The men have rations for ii
DAYS. Meanwhile shall wait instructions
from Washington"
Governor Waite regrets having called out
the troops. He stated to Gen. McCook,
in confidence, that man told HIM that the
general intimated that he was ready to or
der out the regulars when the Governor
should call upon him for that purpose. Gen.
McCook denied this. He was fully shown
hi, position, and after a long talk he salts
fed the Governor that he had been de-
ceived,
During the forenoon representative busl-
ness men sent telegram to Colorado rep
resentatives in Washington, explaining the
situation and soliciting their influence with
the administration to keep the troops here,
with orders to assist the sheriff i'll main-
tanning peace until the matter is adjusted
in the courts.
Sher. if Burchinell telegraphcd Secretary
Lamont:
81 am, quite able to maintain peace here,
u,less tie militia of the state is used against
me. Nobody hut the Governor is seeking
- 10 disturb the peace, and he is acting Ia
contempt of the district court of this
county
During the afternoon a number of prom
inent men assembled to consider the
advisability of proceeding against the
Governor on the question of his
sanity. A committee WAS appointed to
call on Gen. McCook and find out what he
proposed to do, and another committee will
q look up the lunacy laws. Tie question of
hnacy sprung solely for the purpose OF
tpreyentipg the the Governor from proceed
ing with the militia without the advice of
p, any one.
The attorneys for the old police board
and the Governor are firm in the positions
taken last night. The attorneys for the
new members cent notice to them in the
afternoon that unless Governor Waite called
off the militia and consented to
legal steps through arbitration, they would
Withdraw from the case. The newspapers

In The Rhode Island Legislature.

Providence, R. l., March l6.-The
Senate today transacted no business OF i'm
portance. In the House, Mr.. Mccarthy
stirred up little breeze by reading from a
local paper charges that the town council OF
East Greenwich, of which Repre- sentative
Allen is member, had disfranchised Dem
ocrats, and announcing bis belief that they
were true. Mr.. Allen emphatically denied
them and said but two men were left off
the list and they were Republicans.
The House passed a resolution requesting
representatives of the state in Congress to
support the bill regulating the discharge of
letter carriers. Both branches adjourned
to Wednesday, the Democratic state con.
vention being slated for Tuesday.

A Bold Thief

Early Tuesday morning a negro,
Alphonse Damon entered Mrs.
Sprole's store and bought a flask
of gin. A few minutes later he was
seen hurrying out of the store. This
created suspicion in Mrs. Sprole's
mind that Damon had done some
thing wrong, and upon investigation
it was soon discovered that some
$40 was missing from satchel which
had inst been placed behind the
counter. Mrs. Sprole Immediately
notified the authorities of the theft,
and in less than an hour after, the
active deputy sheriff, d. J. Veazey,
had located Damon near the brick
yard and placed him under arrest.
AS the stolen money vas not found
in Damon's possession, the officers
arrested Jean Baptiste Hebert and
Etien Belair, and two women, Marie
William and Emetidia Comeau, in
innate friends and relatives of
Damon, who are charged as Access

Attempted Jail Delivery.


Mr.. Hebert Billaud, the jailer, a
few days ago noticed that in two
places, the bars of the cell had been
slightly bent and thinking that this
had been done by some of the pris-
oners, he thoroughly searched the
Jail and found two pieces of iron
which had been broken off from an
old iron bed. Mr.. Billaud put these
instruments out of the prisoners
reach and thought no more of the
attempted escape until Thursday,
when he noticed that the bars had
been bruised and bent in another
place. MI. Billaud again searched
the Jail and this time found a much
stronger instrument, it being a very
heavy iron bar used to fasten one of
the doors. One of the prisoners,
who is charged with a minor offense
and Who is one Of the 'strustees''
had secured it during the day and
it on top of the cell. 1t
is very fortunate that the Jail is in
charge of deligent officer, as had
it not been for the ever watchful eye
of Mr.. Billaud the prisoners would,
have succeeded in their
systematic attempt to escape.
