SUPPRESSED EXCITEMENT.
There was great deal of suppressed
excitement on the street, but the spark
to fire the magazine has not been thrown,
and there has been no outbreak. The
streets are now quiet, though strict
watch is maintained at the city hall to
prevent possible surprises. The army
officers speak in the highest terms Of
General Brooks and the state troops for
facing the mob about the city hall. 1t
seems that tbs state troops were with
drawn by Governor Waite on the recon-
mendRtion of General McCook, who said
the government troops would preserve
order and prevent a conflict. AT 80
the troops turned in for the night, the
crowds had dispersed and the usual
quiet prevails.
ATTEMPTS TO COMPROMISE.
Hon. T. M. Patterson appeared before
the old police board this evening when
the situation seemed most critical, and
appealed to the patriotism OF the mem
bers and urged the necessity for submit
ting all matters at Issue TO some fair
minded board. Before he had finished,
Messrs. Rogers, Shsfroth and Hartzell,
counsel for the governors latest ap-
pointees, Mullins and Barnes, put in an
appearance and presented a formal prop
osition on the part of their clients to
submit the mattere in controversy to
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 verbally,
which had been acouted at. In view OF
these facts. Messrs. Martin and Orr re-
piled that the matter would now have
TO take its due course in the court so tar
rs they were concerned.
MORE TROOPS CALLED FOR.
II 1;40p.m.-Governor Waite has issued
the following proclamation:
All companies OF the National guard Of
the state OF Colorado are hereby notified
to be in readiness at the inspection arm
cries to respond to call TO come to
Denver, which will be issued on Friday
OF this week.
(Signed) DAVIS H. WAITE,
Governor.
Denver, Thursdsy, pm.
The withdrawal of the state troops
from the scene OF action tonight was the
result of conference between Governor
Waite and Adjutsnt.Geners Tarsney, at
which 1t was decided that it would be
impossible TO take the city hall with
the forces at hand without great and
unnecessary loss of life. Tomorrow the
governor will call all the troops of the
state to Denver, and Saturday he will
renew his attempt to install the new po-
lice commissioners in office.
GENERAL M'CooK's ACTION.
General McOook will confer with the
governor at 8 o'clock tomorrow and will
then decide upon his line OF action.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Secretary

for federal troops in Denver. At the
White House it was said no such request
had been received. Heretofore Wash
ington troops have been ordered out
only after conference between the presi-
dent, secretary OF war, general COM
manding otficsfs and two senators from
the state involved. No such conference
has been held here. Later, Secretary
Lamont said General McCook, in charge
of the.srmy in the west. is located at
Fort Logan, nine miles from Denver, and
he has full power TO act on the request
OF the governor. This latter may have
been done.
