TROOPS STILL GUARD
QUIET DAY IN WATERBURY
 STRIKE SITUATION.
Crisis Was Feared Owing to Fact That Many Workmen Received Their Wages and Carou-
 sals Were Expected.

Waterbury. Conn.,, Feb. 4.-So far as the peace of the city was concerned, the day has been a quiet one, though a crisis ir the trolley situation was feared at night fall owing to the fact that many work men received their pay today and pay day carousals were feared.
 The feeling of uneasiness. however, was somewhat relieved when 1t was an nounced that Governor Chamberlain would not withdraw the troops tonight as had been suggested. The military of1ces had been equipped with telephones reach ing out into every part of the camps and similar apparatus in a tall building on South Main Street near headquarters thus making possible communications.
 The strikers daily statement was is- sued today and had for Its feature a plea addressed to their friends. It urged workingmen in doing their usual We'd nesdsy night shopping to return to their homes without lettering on the streets.
 The afternoon brought about another effort on the part of the city clergymen to induce a compromise conference, but their mission it is stated was fruitless.
 Just before o'clock Sheriff Durham arrived in Waterbury from New Haven. with thirty deputies who were escorted to the court house where they are now Quartered.
 Sixteen more non-union men reached town by a train at 7:20 tonight. They went at once to the barns of the street railway company. There was some hoot- ing as they passed through the city but no violent demonstration. It is believed the company brought in these men in or- der to i'll in the places of any who might sustain injuries while operating the cars.
 At $ O clock tonight action was taken which was significant of the determina- ton to operate cars at all hazard. sher- if Durham. after conference with Col onel Burpee. dispatched to the car barns ten of his deputies. They were armed and had orders to board the cars and see that they were unmolested. The deputies were further instructed to cooperate full ly with the local police and the State militia In the preservation of order.

 Superintendent R. J. Chambers of the Montgomery Light and Power Company said that nothing had been reported to him from the power house as would have been the case had any thing gone wrcng there.

 But the Street Railway people say the trouble was with your company" was suggested. .! a-
