The Fire Department had lines of hose
laid through the City Hall to throw water
on the besegers. The firemen were armed.
and 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, Adjutant
Tarsney ordered the State troops back to
the armory. and presently the crowds that
had been surging through the streets be-
gan to dwinde and the excitement began
TO die out. The United States troops are
camped in front of the Union depot, where
Sheriff Burchinell says he will try 10 keep
them for two or three days to prevent any
possible local outbreak. He has only fifty
special deputies under arms. he says, and
these are TO patrol the streets in the alb
sence of policemen.
Governor Waite refused tonight to make
any statement further than that he had
Withdrawn the troops for the night What
his next step would be he would not say.
His pale and careworn face told more
eloquently than words of the strain
through which he had passed. He has
Ing his life. and there is con opsiderable pub
lie feeling against him. Judge Graham,
whose order of Injunction Governor Waite
disregarded, says tonight that he will take
no action in the matter.
There was a great deal of suppressed
excitement on the streets, but the spark to
FIRE the magazine mas not been thrown and
there has been no outbreak. The streets
are now quiet. though strict watch is main
tanned at the City ball to prevent possible
surprises. Army officers speak 10 the
highest terms of General Brooks and the
State troops for facing the mob about the
City Hall.
1t seems that the State troops were with
drawn by Governor Waite on the recon-
mendation of General McCook, who said
the Government troops would preserve
order and prevent conflict. At $50 P. NJ.
the troops turned in for the night, the
crowds had dispersed and the usual quiet
prevailed.
Hon. T. NJ. Patterson appeared before
the old Police Board this evening, when
the situation appeared most critical, and
appealed TO the patriotism of the mem beIs
and urged the necessity for su submitting all
matters at issue TO some fair-minded BODY.
Before he had finished Messrs. Rogers,
Shafroth and HartZell, counsel for the
Governors latest appointees, Mullins and
Barnes, put in an appearance and pre-
sented formal proposition on the part of
their clients to submit the matters in
controversy to a board of arbitration, and
to do this was 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 secuted at. In view of these
facts Nessrs. Martin and Orr replied that
the matter would now have 10 lake its due
course in the court so far as they are con-
cerned.
The Will drawal of the State troops from
the scene of action tonight was the result
of conference between Governor Waite
and Adjutant-Generai Tarsney, at which
it was decided that 1t would be impossible
to take the City Hall with the force 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 10 in
stall the new Police Commissioners in
Office. General McCook will confer with
the Governor at 8 o'clock Tomorrow and
will then decide upon his line of action.
