&nCG tn the ODJecIS! InlS StAte OA affairs is due to conference that was held yesterday forenoon between Manager Sewell, County Sheriff Dun ham, Colonel Burpee, counsel for the company, and the city officials.
 County Sheriff Durham came to town yesterday forenoon and had luncheon at the Waterbury club The sheriff deemed his power and means insufficient to protect the peace, so he called upon the state authorities for military aid So to-day the military is in evidence They began coming last night over the Highland division. They alighted at the West Main street crossing where they were met by q police escort The military force con sists of two machine guns, or Gatling guns, Companies A, R, F, K and H of the First regiment, Hartford and D of Bristol and E of New Britain. They marched directly to the armory. Scarcely had they departed citywards than another train came in with Com pany c of Rockville and G of South Manchester. About 10 o'clock five companies arrived from New Haven B, c, n, E and K. They belong to the Second regiment, commanded by Colonel Sucher. The First reg 'ment is under the command of Colonel Schultze and the Gatling gun divis- ions, First and Second, under the com mand of Lieutenant Molloy.
 The First regiment is quartered at the Auditorium and the Second at the armory and the High school One of the machine guns is stationed at the armory and the other at the power house of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co. Companies A and q are also under arms
 The entire military body is under the command of General Frost. The arrival of these imposing visitors was announced with hisses and ieers. but nothing further went to indicate the temper of the people. They made no delay in getting to their respective quarters and though they were quite nslmerous on the streets this morning no attempt to molest them was made. In general way they appear to be a good lot of young men, hearty and as well able to crack and appreciate q joke as anyone in Waterbury, even in these excited times. The men made the best of things as they found them in their respective quarters last evening" but it is supposed that this evening they will be better provided for. They cook their own meals and get their bread from local dealers.
 The appearance at the armory this morning was indeed strange. From the windows military hats and caps protected. bayonets and blue cloaks. sleepy eyes and frowsy faces. Men were stationed at the entrance and no one was allowed to enter without hav- ing some insignia of business connect ed with the situation. Press repre- sentatfves from New York, Boston, New Haven, Hartford and other places are quite numerous. Piles of clothing are in the corners of the main hall, men lounging about in every con ceiyable position of languor and ease Once in a while a trumpet call com mands attention for few moments and then things go along in the easy and free style as before Officers loi ter around, but not with clanking swords or dangling spurs.
 This morning two companies left the armory for exercise. 1t was said al first they were going on duty, but il was hard to surmise where they were necessary, for there was no disturb ance around nor any signs of any coming. There were a great many people on the streets, but not as many as one would expect 70 see on such al occasion.
 At the armory and High schoo things were about the same. The de scription of one. serves all.
