MOVEMENTS OF MILITIA.
Activity Due Solely to . Desire 70
Efficiency.


The unusual activity of the several
companies of the state militia has excited
some comment. but there appears 20 be no
occasion for any uneasiness. In none of
the troubles from which labor is suffering
through the stagnation Of business has
there been single act OF lawlessness in
this state. but the commanders OF the
militia have been aroused from their
lsthargy and are putting their organixa-
tions 10 the purpose for which they were
formed, namely. TO uphold the law in case
attempt should he made to violate it.
Gov John II. Mctiraw was asked last
evening relative TO the activity of the
state militia, and replied that the situation
remained unchanged and there was moth
ing TO add TO what had already been pub
lished. He anticipated no trouble and ex-
pected everything TO settle back into It's
normal condition in a few days.
The following. dispatches from points
outside of Seattle are OF interest in the
same connection:
