 DENVER, Col, March 16.-Esrly thii morning Governor Waite invited the fquad of militia that had stood guard about hii home last night into the house for break, fast, after which he ordered them back to the armory. He then went quietly to his office in the Equitable building. and soon after was closeted with General McCook, whose quarters are in the same building. This evening the governor announced that the proposition to submit to the supreme Court the question of the rightful claim ants to the offices of police commissioners would probably be accepted by him, but he wanted little more time to think ovex this. A decision is expected tonight.
 Early in the morning crowds gathered about the city hall, ready to risk all in or der to see the fun. But the day passed, and when in the afternoon the police went on duty regularly the crowd thtnned out. Yet at dark many still fingered, hoping that something sensational would occur.
 The militia Is ready to assemble at c mo- ment's notice. Their conduct yesterday has received much praise. The Fort To- gan regulars spent . rather dreary night at the Union depot last night. "The troops will remain" said General McCook, until all signs of trouble are ended. We shall keep the peace, prevent bloodshed and preserve the federal property from attack. Meanwhile we shall await instructions from Washington"
 Governor Waite regrets having called out the troops. He stated to General Mo Cook in the conference that @ man had tod him that the general had intimated that he was ready to order out the regulars when the governor should call upon him for that purpose. General McCook denied this. He has fully shown his position and after a long talk he satisfied the governor that he had been deceived.
 This morning the governor sent letter to General McCook stating that he had re- quested the general to move the troops to che city because he supposed the general would aesist the state troops in enforcing the laws; and saying in conclusion: ''In conversation with you this morning find that in your opinion you hava no such right. I therefore most respectfully with draw my request for United States troops"
 General McCook emphstically declared that some of the statements in the letter were erroneous. He stated that he had no such conversation with the governor as in- dicated.
 Sheriff Burchinell telegraphed as follows to Secretary Lamont:
 q am quite able to maintain psace here, unless the militia are used against me. Nobody but thegovernor Is seeking to dis turb the peace, and he is acting in con- tempt of the district court of this county" !"
 During the afternoon 8 number of prom inent men assembled to consider the ad- visibility of proceeding sgainst the gov ernor on the question of his sanity. A committee was appointed to call upon General McCook and find out what he pro posed TO do, and another committee will look up the lunacy laws. The question of lunecy is eprung solely for the purpose of preventing the governor from proceeding with the militia without the advice of any one.
 During the day all sorts of rumors were current and the people were in con- stant state of expectation. From every city where 2 militia company Is organized came the report that companies had as- sembled awaiting orders.
 The attorneys for both the old police board and the governor were firm in the positions taken by them last night. Con- missioners Martin and Orr, backed by the police and the sheriff, were defiant and de. olsred that Governor Waite could never buff them. The attorneys for the new members sent notice to them in the after noon that unless Governor Waite called of tho militia and consented to legal steps through arbitration they would withdraw from the case.
 The newspapers all condemn the gov. ernor.
 A secret meeting of large property own CTS was in session to night. Men whose names are known throughout the land made excited speeches recommending dras tic measures One suggested an attempt to capture the srmory. Others proposed the kidnapping of Governor Waite. Afte, several violent speeches were delivered i was decided to wait till morning The city hall is being fortified again. Is reported that the governor is swearing in deputies and night attack on the cit, hall Is feared. The governor ignored thu proposition to srbitrste and said nothipt would be decided before morning.
