the
Denver, March 16. The trouble be
tween! the city police and the militia is
not yet ended, though it is now believed
Gov. Waite ia willing for any reasonable
compromise. The trouble arose over
the sjoyernor's effort t to oust the two
me'n.bera of the fire and police board,
Jaeksc-t Orr and D. J. Martin, whom he
removed for protecting gambling-houses,
and place in office their successors, S. G.
Barnes and Dennis Mullins. . Messrs.
Cfrrand Martin, having obtained from
the district court an injunction restrain
ing . Governor . Waite from forcibly re
moving them, were determined to resist
to the uttermost. They " accordingly
kept the entire police force at 1 he city
hall all day under ' orders to r. i?t the
soldiers if attacked. In addition, sev
eral hundred . of .the ' tougher citizens..
many of whom have records as man-killers,
were sworn in as deputies of Sheriff
Burchinell and placed in the city hall as
a reinforcement of the police depart
ment. Each deputy was armed with
two six-shooters and instructed to use
them in case of necessity. . The police
were armed with shotguns in addition to
their clubs and revolvers. .
This force was opposed, by the militia,
the First regiment and the Chaffee'light
artillery and a proclamation was issued
to the entire btate militia to hold them
selves in readiness for marching orders.
Efforts were later made for arbitration,
which which successful to the extent of
' preventing bloodshed.. The governor is
in retirement at. his home, which is
guarded by patrolmen, as he is in mor
tal fear of assassination.
' At 9 o'clock this morning everything
is quiet, awaiting a conference between
General. McCook, commanding the fed
eral troops, and Governor Waite.- Five
companies of the Seventh United States
infantry are camped at the Union depot,
The police force has greatly .increased
since yesterday, and still holds the city
hall. . It is understood the force numbers
350, and will' under no circumstances
surrender. . It is expected the governor
will order state troops from other points,
now under arms at their armories, to
come here. ' They number 750 enlisted
men.
Governor Waite has addressed a-letter
to General McCook Asking that the gov
eminent troops be withdrawn from the
city because the latter refuses to assist
. in carrying out the governor's purposes,
but simply confines himself to main
; tainihg peace. , '. ..' .
'. This action was taken by the governor
after having held a brief and it is under-
stood peppery conference with General
' McCook, in which the latter declined to

use the United States troops to assist in
seating the governor's appointees. In a
letter, to General McCook, the. governor
says he interpreted McCook's offer yes
terday to put seven companies of federal
troops in Denver to mean an offer to
assist the state toepfcffce the law, and
his letter .asking that- the troops be
moved into the city for y the specified
object to assist the state troops in the
execution' of the law and to prevent
bloodshed. Finding, in McCook's" opin
ionVhe had no right, be would with
draw his request for. troops. This is
taken as evidence that the governor has
weakened and that he will soon accept
a proposition for a reasonable com
promise. ; - ' -
. X Grand Jury Called.
Judge Bailey has issued an order for
the drawing of a grand jury to meet
on Monday. District Attorney Steele
has for some time been comtemplating
the calling of a grand jury to act on
several cases pending, and he thinks it
would be well to have it in session until
the danger of riot is past. He' said this
afternoon! .
"If anybody is killed by the controversy
between Governor Waite and the old
police board, the person who .does the
killing and the one who incites the act
will be tried for murder.''-
General McCook recei ved a joint letter
from Chief of Police Stone" ' and Chief
Pearce, of the fire department, stating
that Governor Wait had some "mal jcious
jSendisb and, desperate scheme'' on foot,
which he might put into execution either
this evening or early in the morning
and asking him to. call' at the city ball at
once for conference. It is feared ' that
tomorrow,' being St. Patrick's day, may
give an . opportunity to those inclined
to stir up a fight leading to a general
riot. The city hall is being fortified.
The street report is that the governor
and his henchmen - are sw'earing in all
the deputies they can,: and - a night at
tack upon the hall is feared. -
FEAttS ASSASSINATION. '
. Djsnveb, March 16. Gov. Waite ac
knowledged today to Gen. McCook that
he feared assassination. The general
says there is no doubt that had there a
gun been.., fired yesterday, the governor
would have been lynched within half
an hour, to the state's lasting disgrace.
The cause of Gov. Waite's obduracy, it
is learned on excellent authority, is his
wire, bhe attended last night a con
ference in an angry mood and declared,
with clenched fist, that the fight should
go on until the last national guardsman
in the .state lay dead on the pavement
Many, populists do not uphold Governor
Waite, and Judge Croxton, one of the
best known populists in the state, has
asked General McCook to use hie infla
ence with the governor to avert further
trouble. . Referring to the
action, General Croxton said
not politics, it is anarchy."

UNION, PACIFIC EMPLOYES.
Their Conference With the ..Receiver
AmoonK to Nothing.
Omaha, March 16. The conference
between employes and ' receivers of the
Union Pacific has flashed in. the' pan, at
least temporarily, and nothing short ot
further .orders from Judge. Caldwefl Is
likely to bring them together again
I esteraay Receiver Clark, at the pre-
.Limary meeting, furnished the head of
.each organization -represented a state
ment to the ffect that the receivers did
not recognize that any-" agreement with
tne employes as to wages or other mat
,ters in force before, the. receivership was
binding on the receivers. . Furthermore,
the receivers had sought to put new
schedules ' in'- effect' as to onlv ' three
classes of 'employes,' enginemen, train
men and operators, And these were the
only classes which? they would recognize
as entitled to .take part in the conference,
and with them.it must be understood
tne receivers o id not recognize, any con
tract relations, and they wereonly ready
to discuss with their proper representor
tives the question of the fairness and
justness of the proposed new. schedule
This did not meet the views of the men,
and this morning not one appeared be
fore Clark to begin argument, i' They
are- holding a', private' conference, but
give it out they will never submit to the
condition imposed, by. the receivers.
The men.decided they would. never sub
mit to Clark's terms. A

ld of Her First Meeting With Con
gressmen Breckinridge.
Washington,' March' 16. At the open
ing toi the 'Pollard-Breckin ridge trial
this morning the plaintiff , took the ' wit
ness chair, Witness went back, to her
first meeting with Breckinridge - in
April, 1884, wh'en he approached her on
a, car between Lexington, and Frankfort,
pvqtessmg to have met her before. . Then
came the story of ber relations to James
C. Rhodeswho undertook to educate
ner n sne woaia marry nini;.' ot her
sending for Breckinridge for counsel as
an' attorney ; of .the-means he took to bo
alone with her without a chance of in
terruption ; of the subsequent intimacy ;
of the birth of her children in 1885.; and
1888. She produced , letters and tele
grams from him containing words of en
dearment, and closed her testimony by.
declaring that never since she knew him
had she Tjeen intimate, with any other
man. Her frame was shaking with sup
pressed emotion, as she passed out of
the court-room, leaning on the arm of
an attendant. : . . ., "..''."
Before. Miss Pollard left the stand she
testified that Breckinridge had - taken
her. with him on several occasions when
he went out of the city to address re
ligious bodies. He had given her no
reason for. the postponement of the dates
fixed for marriage, and she ' had never
asked for any until the scene- in the
office of Colonel- Moore. ; "From the
night he took me .to Sarah's in 1884,"
said. Miss Pollard, dramatically, "there
never was a suggestion ofa discontinu
ance of those miserable relations until
he left me, with all sorts of promises,
pleadings and loving words, on the 19th
of May, 1893." v -
' MAY MAKE. A-DIFFERENCE.
A certificate filed in the health depart
ment by Rev. Dr. John R. Pax ton shows
that .W. C P. Breckinridge married
Louisa R. Wing.Aprii 29, 1893. This
was a secret marriage -T the public cere
mony was last July. .It is thought this
may play a part in the Pollard Breckin
ridge trial, as going to show . that when
be promised to marry Miss Pollard, in
the presence of Colonel Moore, chief' of
police of Washington, last May, he was
not in a position to redeem his promise,
being already married. ' .
