ceGe, and the governor said he would
use the entire national guard If neceS-
Sary. Moreover. Adiutant General
TarSney said IF he was ordered 10 fire

pieces.
Threatening demonstrations have
been made against Gov. Waite. who re-
mains at his residence under military
guard, and he was reported much
alarmed as tn his safety before the ar
rival of the United States troops.
At the city hall it was claimed that
strict orders had been given not 10 fire
a Shot or raise a club until the militia
II I'd taken the offensive. From 3 .. III.
until 9 p. n. the state troops were
drawn up il line of battle, and the city
hall forces were ready for action. The
other city officers were prepared 10 va
cate at Il moments notice. All over
lures from the governor were rejected,
and
AN AMERICAN FLAG
was hung from q window This was
cheered by the Gro Nd. City officials
and prominent officials sought in vain
for 4 compromise, and every hour or
two the governor threatened 10 eXtermi-
nate the city hall people in thirty min
utes, but wiser counsel finally pre-
vailed.
The fire department had lines of hose
laid through the city hall to throw
water OH the bcSiegers. The firemen
were armed. The surgical department
was made ready to care for the wounded
IN case of a conflict. At o'clock, or
shortly after the arrival OF the United
States troops, Adjt. Gen. Tarsney o.
dered the militia to fall back to the
arnIory, ana presently the crowds that
had been surging through the streets
began 10 dWindle and the excitement
began TO die out.
The United States troops are camped

fifty special deputies under arms, he
says, and these are to patrol the streets
IN the ab5eHce Of policemen.
GOV. WAITE ELFCsED
tonight to make any statement further
than that he had Withdrawn his troops
for the night. What hIs next step viii
be lie wCuid not say. His pale, care
worn face told more elOQuently than
words OF the strain through which he

more letters threatening his life. and
there is considerable public feeling
against him. Judge Graham, whose
Orsier of injunction Coy. W aite disre-
gardcd. says tonight he Will take 10
move in the matter. There was great
dtai OF suppressed excitement on the
streets, but the spark To fire the maya
zine has not been thrown. and there has
been no outbreak. The streets are now
quiet, though strict watch is maintained

Army officers sneak III the highest
terms Of Gen. Brooks and the state
trobb bS for facing the mob about the city
hall. 1t seems that the state troops
were withdrawn by Gov. Waite Oh the
recommendation of Gen. McCOok, who
said the government troops would pre-
serve order and prevent a conflict.
At $3.50 the troops turned III

dispersed AID the usual quiet reigned.
Hon. L. NJ. Patterson appeared before
the old police board this evening, when
the situation seemed most critical. and
appealed to the patriotism of the mem-

minded board. Before he had

ana llarlZol, counsel Tor tne gov
errors latest appOintees, Wilkins and
Barnes, put III appearance and present
ed formal proposition on the part of
their clients to submit the matters in
controversy to a board of arbitration to
be mutually agreed upon. This was
exactly the proposition made by
the old board earlier in the day,
both by written agreement and
