 Troops Coming.

New Orleans, October u.-While mar tial law has not been declared and will not be until conditions demand such ex- 1 treme measure the city is to all intents and purposes under military and it has had a wholesome effect. The expression of firmness and determination in the governors proclamation has restored a feeling of confidence in the authorities and made the strikers more sullen than ever.
 Under orders issued just after midnight two country companies of militia arrived here tonight. one from St. Francisville, forty-eight strong. and another from Opelousas. sixty three strong As they marched through the streets en route to their armorfes they were cheered by many people and given rousing greetings by the commands whose armorfes were on the line of march. Each company was met at the depot by a detachment from the first troop of cavalry The Ouachita Guards from Monroe. sixty strong and the Mansfield Guards from the northwestern part of the state, fifty strong, will arrive in the morning. The Jefferson Guards are under arms in
  With all the local commands this concen- trates the entire military forces of the state. Counting only the men who have reported for duty it makes total of about l4Oo men. All are well armed and under splendid discipline.
 Picket Lines Thrown Out.
 At o'clock this morning a report reached Adjutant General Jumel that an attempt would be made to rush the armory of the First regiment or Girod street eecause of the supposed sympathy of many members of that command with the strikers and take possession of the arms and ammunitions. Picket lines were thrown out out on St. Charles and Carondelct streets by the First regiment, the Washington artillery and the naval battalion, whose armories are in the inn mediate vicinity and no one was allowed to pass unless he could give a good ac- count of himself Every wagon passing was searched. These picket lines were resumed tonight.
 There has been less jeering at the mili- tary squads as they went about the streets. A member of a squad of three taught crowd of strike synpathizers a lesson this afternoon. They jeered them and said they could not fight. One of the soldiers stepped back and knocked the. leader of the crowd down with his fist then went on about his business, cheered by few people who saw the incident.
 Strikers Call On Governor.
 This afternoon a subcommittee of eleven of the carmen's executive commit tee called on Governor Heard at the St. Charles hotel and remained with him two hours They came to discuss the situa- tion in detail, claiming that the gover- nor's peremptory manner with them yes- terday when he presented his ultimatum. had precluded going into details. The main difference at present seems to have been the absence in the ultimatun of provision for the pitmen and others who are in the union.
 The governor told them that that was something they could arrange with the company afterwards.
 United States Senator Murphy Foster, who settled the general strike in 1892 in three days when he was governor. arriv- ed this morning and with w. s. Parson, who gained national prominence in 1891. when he led the crowd which lynched eleven Italians in the parish prison, has been endeavoring to bring about an ami- cable understanding They have made but little progress so far.
 In the meantime plans are being laid to start the cars Monday and the Governors says when they are started they will continue.
