OFFICIAL REPORTS REAssURING.
The Governor Receives No Unfavora-
BILE News-Mills's Substitute.


The offices of the Governor and Adjutant-
general did not present that busy appear
ance yesterday that has characterized them
since last Saturday. when began the first
rush of the business incident to getting the
State militia in the field OF action. Every
thing has Quilted down and the janitors have
had an opportunity TO clean up the papers
from the floors. The war of the miners
was talked of as thing of the past and
all reference made to it sounded more like
ences that had happened in the past forty
eight hours. Acknowledgement Robbins was
in his usual place in his office, having ar
rived home early yesterday morning. He
reported that he had left all quiet at Can
nelburg, with 12S men and Gatling gun
to protect property. He left part of the
Indianapolis Light Artillery, the Green
castle and the Aurora companies of in
fantry. All the other companies which
now in the field are in the neighborhood Of
Sullivan, with General Mckee in COM
mand
The companies at Cannelburg will remain
there for at least a week possibly longer.
General Robbins said yesterday that 1t
would be week before any decision would
be reached looking to ordering them home,
and that meanwhile events might transpire
which would nscessitate keeping the militia
on the ground even longer than that. The
decision of Judge Heffron in the cases OF
contempt against the three men who have
been arrested for refusing TO obey the in
junction of the judge restraining them from
interfering with the running of trains will
have a great deal 10 do in determining the
time for the withdrawal Of the troops. 1t
is believed at the Statehouse that If the
miners that they cannot disobey the orders
of the court with impunity, the effect will
be to restore order in that community. Un-
less the Acknowledgement is satisfied that
ii is safe to do so, the Governor viii not
remove the troops for two or three weeks
yet. Major lockwood. who is now in COM
mand at Cannelburg, teiegraphs the Gov
ernor twice day, giving the condition OF
aas was da ms that be eond Se
situation with the force he has. He has
scouting parties out hunting for any sus-
picious acts, but thus far has found moth
ing TO indicate that the miners are doing
any plotting in that neighborhood.
Telegrams were also received from Cen
eral Mckee, in which he stated that, with
the reinforcements. he could cover the ter,
ntory around Sullivan, where there had
been been SO sd much hea trouble ae tb
and that he was not expecting any more.
Yesterday morning the Governor &C Sonsid,
elisor be appointed for Sullivan county.
Mason j. Nibiack General McKees spe-
Monday night TO lay the matter before the
Governor. He stated that Sheriff Mills
would neither lend aid to the. troops nor
make any attempt to enforce the law him
self While the matter YVES being consid-
cred by the Governor a telegram was re-
ceived from Sullivan stating that George
T. Briggs had been sworn in as special
deputy sheriff and that Sheriff Mills had
agreed TO give him full powers to assume
the sheriffs duties in regard to the. strik-
ers. 1T was also stated in the telegram
that Briggs was a determined man, who
would do his duty fully, and that there
need be no further fear in regard to the
work of the county officers. Briggs has
already arrested seven of the strikers and
has warrants for seventeen more of them,
which he will serve with the aid of the
militia.
