AtOokffock, or;shortly after the arrival pf .the United States troops, Adjutant-General Tarsney ordered thir militia back to tho armory, and presently the Crowd that had been surging through the streets began to dwindle and the excitement began to die out. Prominent citizens wore busy all night trying to effect a compromise, but the situation remained unchanged all of Friday. The troops wore still under arms and the City Hall was in possession of the police, The trouble was brought to a temporary settlement, Friday evening, Gov. Waite, upon the advice of his attorneys, agreeing to submit the questions at issue to the Supreme Court on their merits. Peace is thus assured, for the present at least. It is claimed that at least twenty people have called on the District Attorney and urged him to have Governor Waite tried as to his sanity.
