State Troops Not Needed.
J Governor Cummns and Adjutant General
Byers today decided that unless there are
some new developments in the strike sit
uation at Dubuque. no companies Of the
militia will be sent there from any other
point In the state, Indications are now
that the local authorities have the matter
well in hand. There was some rioting in
cident to the street car strike and the COM
pany in Dubuque was called out by the
sheriff, as he has right to do, to assist
, in doing police duty. The governor was
| attending commencement at the State uni
versty at Iowa City and the adjutant gen
eral was out OF the city engaged in mus
tering in new company at Osceola, but
both were kept informed OF what was 60
Ing on. Today they reached the conclusion
that there is no crisis at Dubuque needing
call of the troops, General Byers went
to Cedar Rapids this evening to look after
the repairs on the state rifle range, and
Governor Cummirs expects to go east in
a few days.
