Away off In an obscure portion OF Man
chester the explosion OF a lone torpedo
broke harshly upon the silent night air.
Then all became quiet again within the
strike region, and Saturday. usually ac-
counted day of dangerous moods, FADED
into the morning OF q new day. Hour
by hour the sentinels called forth their
"all's WELL" recording as they did SO the
history OF the quietest period since the
men laid down their motor handles and
marched out the barns OF the company.
II was, In fact, a day utterly devoid OF
anything that bordered on excitement.
The military protective system adopted
Friday was continued, and on the bad
streets, where trouble began to brew as

tho troops was heard some more From
the cars which ran along these streets
hayonets bristled. as was the case on
the night previous. and was also the
case at that time tho brewing trouble fell
fiat. In the other sections the Wonted
QUIET prevailed without the influence OF
the soldiers. The main branches ran
without disturbing incident and Seven
Pines ana OaKwood, Seventeenth Street
and River View had again fallen 70 hhe

Hence the soldiers are here yet ana he!e

away. and even lot OF applications Tor
furloughs we're refused yesterday
Colonel Anderson was busy out OF MS
Office last night and could not be seen.
There Is, however. so far as couio DC
gathered, practically no change N ms
plans. The nadvisability OF letting any
Of the troops depart now is stlll SO ap-
narent TO him that he has seen TT to
make no change In the disposition OF
them. But one or two orders were issued
Yesterday and they dealt entirely with
minor matters. One of them granted
furlough to two men. The other requests
for leave Of absence were not granted.
On Seventeenth Street and on Venable

Throughout Richmond the greatest quiet
prevailed--a notable fact considering tina
it was Saturday night. 1t is to be expect
ed that few stones We're thrown. but
If they were. they did not do damage
sufficient to warrant a report of tho hap
pening. Seven Pines ran quietly and Sew
enteenth Street was very, very still. River
View where there has been more or less
serious disorder, preserved an even calm.
During the night a wire broke at Twenty
eighth and Main Streets, and caused con-

break was mended and cars began to run
