The city today ii far more tranquil than for two days past. L'p to 3:80 o'clock there had been no disorders. The au'hnrilics have better control and sev-eral small gatherings were easily dispersed. The streets are crowded but the people are animated chiefly with curiosity to look upon the destruction wrought by the inohs. The police are vigilant, and though no further disturbances are anticipated, they keep the crowds moving and will allow the holding of no meetings on the streets. At half past 2 o'clock the emperor In au "pen carriage accompanied by au aide took a drive about the city, Shortly after his re-turn to the castle the empress went driving. Both the emperor and empress were greeted quietly and respectfully by the enwds of proincuaders. It Is the general opinion that Hie trouble is all over. The rabble has been cowed by the energetic action of the police and even were they so disposed they would be afraid to attempt any such riotous demonstrations as marked the past two days. The streets are strongly guarded and three hundred po-licemen arc held in readiness in case, of demonstration, hut it is not believed thai they will be called upon. SILVER AND LEAD QUOTATIONS.

A LITTLE SARCASM. A RAY OF LICHT LET IN ON THE SCHEMES OF THE DEMOCRATS. Dinglcy of Maine Offer the Bourbons a llelping Hand, but it is Not Prob-able They Will lie Willing to Accept It. Wasiiinoti.n, Feb. 37. In the house this niornngihe bill passed ratifying the act of the Arizona territorial legislature making an appropriation for the Arizona exhibit at the World's fair. The house then went into committee of the whole on the Indian appro) riation bill. Dingley of Maine presented for reference a preamble and resolutions reciting that the democratic party had determined, in order to avoid railing a direct issue on the prin-ciples which separate the republican aud democratic parlies in the approaching presi-dential election, and that it is necessary to make the people believe that there are questions at issue between the two parties as to whether the appropriations and ex penditures of the government shall bo eco-nomically administered. The resolution then goes on to say: These the leaders of the democratic party in pursuance of this plan aud in support of their unfounded charges of wicked extrava-gant against the republican congress and their equally unfouuded claim of superior honesty and ei unoniy for the present demo-cratic congress had found it necessary to dcler all appropriations until the second session of the present congress after the preside, dial election, In order that they may he able to point during the campaign to the apparent reduction of appropriation in sup-port of their charges and claims. Raoived, That, in order to further this plan of campaign, it is inexpedient to pro-vide for the construction of any of the mini- - erous public buildings which congress e 's. b aMb arize, uni'l the Second session Rite. Vjjrcsidential election shall have been decided, and the. necessity which, as the democratic members seem to think ex-ists, for pressing the false issue of economy, in lieu of the real issues and principles, which shall divide the parties, heve passed away. UTAH'S SHEEP MEN. THE WOOL GROW-ERS ASSEMBLED IN CONVENTION. A formidable Protest Against the Signing of the Sheep Measure Now Awaiting tllu Governor's Action The Text of Various Petitions. The w oolgrowers of the territory are up in arms against the proposed sheep measure which they say threatens serious injury to one of the leading industries of this great empire, and almost every locality in the territory is represented in the city this afternoon. All the trains have in delegations and local wool dealers and growers havo been busy looking after the reception and entertainment of a body of men whose industry represents an invest of millions of dollars. Throughout the day the matter has been calmly discussed, and when the convention assembled at J o'clock this afternoon the line ot procedure was pretty definitely mapped out each delegation was accompanied by petitions containing "a list of protestants against the mens, ure all of which were to be Ilred into the governor as the seutlmeut of those who be; licve in the protection of the industry. The secretary's desk was tilled with theau before, the hour to assemble arrived the pe-tition itself setting up the following: To THK tiOVKKSoK OF TUB TerUIIXIKT OF UTAH; We, the undersigned, residents and of the territory of Utah, respect-fully ask that the bill couiuumly known as the amendment to the sheep law be vetoed, for the following ruasons: "First. The object intended to be accom-plished by said bill would be accomplished by the enactment of section 374 of Califor-nia penal code, and said section would not be attended with the disastrous aud pernic-ious effects of the nresent bill. "Second. The said bill Ib designed to in-terfere with the sheep industry alone, be-cause cattle and horses are not herded in this territory except in very small bunches. "Third Grave doubts arc entertained of the constitutionality of such a measure, the said measure is au arbitrary and unreasonable restriction upon tl right of property, as the object of the bill being supposed to be the prevention of the befoul-ing of the water of the territory, there is scarcely au Instance where the mile limit proposed would be necessary to accomplish the result intended and an infinitely smaller distance would protect said waters. "Fourth If such a hill passes it would prevent the moving of sheep from one point to another in almost all parts of tbe terri-tory, for the reason that in order to go from one point to another it is necessary to drive through the, canons, herding as they go; and in almost every instance streams How through said canons into sottlements, mil said canons are no more than a mile wide, the result being, If such a law is -- passed, the closing of all such canons to the passage of sheep. "Fifth In the northern part of the terri-tory, all of the streams and almost all of the waters How through settlements, such streams arising in the mountains, and in scarcely a single instance is there more thau two miles distance from on stream to an-other, so that if this bill were to become a law it would prevent the herding of Bheep in the. only practicable localities In the ter-ritory on the mouutain ranges between streams. "Sixth We represent that the cities of Logan, Ogdeu, Hunteville, Eden, llyrum, Franklin, Richmond, Smithtiuld, Brighani, Willard and other towns in northern Utah depend upon the streams from which the sheep of northern Utah water for their sup-ply of water for their domestic purposes, and said towns ciaim to have, and we believe have, the best and most healthful water that could possibly, under any circumstances, bo obtained. No complaints have ever been made In northern Utah looking towards or hinting at such a law as the proposed. Wo further represent that in the neighborhood of one million sheep are herded upon the desert and unsettled portions of Box Elder and Cache counties, not near any settlement, and thai tho Inhabitants of the entire north-ern Utah Lelleve that no tuch legislation as the bill mentioned should be passed fetter-ing or in any way crippling such industry. i "Seventh We furtherrepreaent that sheep are always herded and that at all times they are in the care of a border; that strictly and technically when driven to water they are beiug herded. That in order to cross the mile limit aud obtain water it would at all times be necessary to technically violate tbe law. That when becp have been feeding and are driven to water, after satisfying their thirst, it is impossible for some time to take them away from the immediate neigh-borhood of the stream. If any attempt should he made to erivc thorn away they will mill and refuse to go, and any attempt to force them would result in irreparable in-jury to the sheep. "Eighth For the reasons given hereto-fore, the passage of this bill would effect, ually destroy the sheep industry of this ter-ritory, aud thu drive away a large amount of capital, and deprive a largu number of people of their means of livelihood. "Ninth That such legislation Is unprece-dented; that there are sutlicieut laws of tho statute books of this territory to protect tho waters of this territory, in which your peti-tioners are as much interested a any other resident of the territory, and that all that la necessary is au enforcement of the present laws." It was after 2 o'clock when A. O. U. W. hall was filled with as tine a loosing body of men as ever assembled under a roof In ion, and Hon. M. K. Parsons, president of the county sheep association, called the body to order. Occupying a seat on tho dais also was Hon. W. L. Pickard, while at the secretary's desk was W. H. Halgh of Murray and Treasurer Joseph B. Kerr of Salt Lake. The minute of the previous meeting ot the association were read aud approved. The constitution and bsdaws of the of Utah county was then submit-ted by S. W. Darke. Tho object ef the as. Delation is expressed in the preamble, which says the purpose is to protect the growers and the industry in the county.

Mackey aud Klbridgu Tufts were presented by the president as au executive committee aud confirmed by the association. Tbe constitution and were then adopted as a body.

Now that the indus-trial conference is over, some peculiar facts are beinf; revealed.

Washburn, J. H. Davis, C. C. Post of Georgia, and J. L Norton of Chicago. It became evident that the southern element was strongly opposed to independent polit-ical action, and the leaders in this line were Dr. Macune and Ben Tearill of Texas and Livingston of Georgia. Those in favor of such action saw that something decided had to be done, and that quickly. Alter the convention was called to meet at St. Louis, it would be near Kansas and Nebraska, two strong alliance and third party tates, matters were so shaping them-selves that it was becoming necessary to destroy the influence of the southern lead-ers opposed to the third party action. Here the Washburne-Taubenee- party showed its linesse. With the aid of Post of Qeorgla and .!. II. Davis of Texas these two states were worked upon so as to come to the support of the third party. Tbe anti-thir- party feeling having thus been (tamped out, the sleerers came to St. Louis and begin their work here to control the convention. With what success the) met the result of the con-vention shows. CREEDE IS A FAKE. Iteports I nun lcnver Say That the Main Mines of the Camp Are Pinching Out Kail road Duplicity. Denver, Feb. 27.
