 These clashes between the military and the rioters are of frequent oc- currence and it speaks we'll for the training and discipline of the militia and their proficiency in the riot drill that they are able to advance by pla- toons and sectons and scatter the mobs with so little loss of life of seri- us injury.
 The governor was asked today If he expected to be obliged to call for mili- tary assistance from the United States in handling the situation and he re- piled that with the brigade already here and the few scattered battalions that were on the way he felt confident that he state troops would be fully able to meet any emergency.
