been called out, and although martial
law has not been officially proclaimed,
there is no other recognized authority in

brought about by the determination of

Messrs. Orr and Martin having OBJ
tanned from the District Court an injunc-
ton restraining Governor Waite from
forcibly removing them, were deter
mined TO resist to their uttermost. They
accordingly kept the entire police force
at the City Hall under orders to resist the
soldiers if attacked. In addition, several
hundreds of the toughest citizens, many
of whom have records as man-killers,
were sworn in as deputies by Sheriff
Burchinell and placed in the City Hail as
a reinforcement of the police department
Each deputy was armed with two six
shooters and instructed to use them in
case of necessity. The police were armed
with shotguns, in addition TO their clubs
and revolvers.

Light Artillery arrived at the City Hall
at 3 O'Clock, and General Brooks, the
commanding officer, delivered to Police
Lieutenant Clay. in command outside the

would be taken by force. Orr aud Mar

hour ex pired prominent citizens entered
into negotiations with the parties to the
controversy with a view to reaching q
settlement by arbitration, and while the
negotiations were in progress a truce was
declared.
The streets about the City Hall were
packed with an angry mob, numbering
many thousands.

graphic news of the world tonight over

fore the western terminus of the Asso-
ciated Press leased wire system, to Salt
Lake, Sacramento and san Francisco,

Angeles and San Diego, and north to
Portland, Tacoma and Seattle.

journalism, illustrating the progress
made in the telegraphic news service. 1t
places for the first time the great cities of
the country, without an exception, in
actual touch through their large news
papers.
Press was established between New York
and Chicago in 1885. 1t was regarded as a
great innovation in newspaper progress,
as il exacted the employment by the AS
sociated Press of its own expert opera
tors, and the handling OF news direct into
the general offices OF the Associated Press.
The leased wire circuits were greatly in
creased, until they extended throughout
the East and West as tar as Denver, and
latterly throughout the South as far as
Galveston and San Antonio. The final
link in making the service transconti-
mental was added tonight, when the Pa
cific Coast became part OF this great sys-
tenn, which now embraces an actual mile
age in excess OF $4,000 miles. Tonight,
therefore, when the night circuit opened
