Boiler Explosion.

New ORLEANS, June 10.-The fol-
lowing persons, scalded by the
explosion of the boiler of the
steamboat Hanna, have since died
John Logan, Henry Davis, Henry
Wallace, George Johnson and Jack
Bates. After the explosion John
Britton Jumped overheard and was
drowned. George Gibbs, John Wall
lace, Stephen Thomas and Paul Mi
ner are not expected to recover. All
of the above named are colored. II
is generally understood that the
boats were racing at the time of the
explosion. The Hanna and st. John
were side by side, rounding Four
teen Mile Point Local inspectors
are investigating the matter.

The next matter of public import
ance which Immediately concerns the
people of Knoxville, and in which all
the people are directly interested, is
the Normal Institute, which opens at
the University buildings on the Both
of June and continues to July 29th.
The particulars were given in cir
GUAR letter from Superintendent
Doak, published i'll the CHRONICLE of
Thursday morning. Every teacher
in East Tennessee ought to attend
this meeting. The tuition is free
and board can be had at low rates.
Those who are making teaching then
occupation cannot afford TO miss
such al opportunity as this for ad-
ding to their knowledge of their pro
fession. The very best talent has
been engaged for the occasion, and
we hope to see a liberal response
from the teachers of this section
It is a good cause, and they ought
to make some sacrifice, if necessary
to aid in the work.

FOREIGN.
Flashes by Submarine Gable from
the Old World.

LONDON, June 10.-A dispatch from
Tipperary says that Archbishop
Croke, on his arrival there yesterday,
was escorted from the railway station
by members of the local Land
League with brass bands playing.
A large crowd Of people drew his
carrige through the main streets.
The archbishop addressed the enor-
nous crowd. He warned the people
not to come in collision with the
forces of the Empire not to give
way to hooting and stone throwing,
but to the enlightened conscience Of
the Europe and America. He de-
clared he had no sympathy for those
who could pay fair rent and would
not.
Archbishop Croke, in his address
at Iipperary, said it was the duty of
the Irish party to pass land bills in
sisting only on such amendments as
relate to arrears of rent and the
execution of rent courts. He advised
the people to avoid all assemblages
at evictions, sales, &c.
PARIS, June 10-Monsieur Louis

THE Democrats are said to be in
dustriously working up a scheme
whereby they expect to control the
organization of the House of Repre-
sentatves. Ex-Speaker Randall is
engaged in it. He does not expect
to be a candidate for reelection him
self, but proposes to run Mr.. Ludd,
of Maine, a greenbacker, and the
Democrats will fall in and elect him
The committees and patronage of
the House is then to be divided be-
tween the two parties. BY the way,
Judge Houk, Representative from
this district, may possibly join in the
movement, as We are informed that
he threatened, when the contest for
the Knoxville post-office was going
on before the President, that if the
present incumbent was reappointed
he would vote with the Democrats in
the organization Of the House. Per
haps he may carry ont his threat.

"A REPUBLICAN MEASURE. ="

Under the above caption, Brother
8IcNelly pays the Republicans of
Tennessee the following compliment:
The 1908 settlement was Re-
publican measure. The ink had
hardly got dry upon the bondholders'
proposition before Governor Haw-
kins sent it to the Legislature, with
his approval, and recommended that
body to pass it into a law. r. r
Butler, the leading Republican of the
house, drew up the bill, and every
Republican, save three, in that body,
voted for it. OF the As Republicans
in the Legislature, A voted for the
biIl-out of the 81 Democrats in
both branches of The legislature, 80
voted against it. Gov. Hawkins
signed the bill, and Of course it is
Republican measure, and the Demo-
cratic party is not responsible for It's
passage.
The facts as stated by the Banner
are correct, we believe, with one ex-
ception. Although an ardent sup<
porter of the 1858 bill, Judge Butler
did not write it. It is true that Gov.
Hawkins recommended it's passage,
and it is true that nearly all the Re-
subiicans in the legislature voted for
it, and that majority of the Demo-
crates in the legislature voted
against it.
These are the facts, and to that ex-
tent the Republican party is respon~
sible for the passage of the bill.
And for this, strange as it may seem
to the editor of the Banner and other
low tax papers, the Republicans are
not only willing, but they are anxions
to be held responsible.
We would not have written the
above in such strong, direct language
rs the Banner has done. Modesty
and good taste would have prevented
us, probably. We have always recog-
nized the patriotic services of the
State-credit Democrats in the legls-
lature on this question. They were
d minority of their party, but they
stood by their principles bravely.
The people OF this State will always,
even after the so-called lows
tax leaders have heen forgotten, hold

held responsible alone for the settle

shrink from it. On the contrary
we glory in it.
