STEPHENS HESITATES.
Jefferson City, Mo-, June 10.-Governor
Stephens has not yet ordered out the ma
tional guard of Missouri to take charge
OF the street car strike in ST. Louis, but
preparations have been quietly perfected
looking to that end. Adjutant General
NJ. +. Bell and Rrigadier General Clark
have been looking after all details and if
the order is issued Will be able to land
1000 troops in st. Louis within twelve
Governor Stephens said that he had not
determined upon ordering out the national
guard. The great problem confronting
him in regard TO sending the national
guard to st. Louis was where the money to
portation and maintenance was to come
from 1t would cost $1,000, he says, TO
great deal to maintain them after they
are there. There is no appropriation OF
money in the state treasury for such pur-
view a deficiency amounting TO 100000
or so for keeping troops in st. Louis IS
Generals Bell and Clark have gone so
far as to look over the ground In St Louis
with view to making the best disposi-
ton possible of the troops for effective
work in case an order is issued calling
the national guard out to suppress the
strike.
