GUARDING THE CoNvICTs.
| Precautions Taken by Gov. Buchanan te
| Prevent Attacks on the Prisons.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. Awhile there have
been rumors in circulation in East Tennessee
during the last two days that a mob intended
to attack the branch prisons at Tracy City and
Inman, it is thought there is little foundation
for them. There are go convicts at
these prisons and extra guards have
been placed on duty at each of
them. Several heavy boxes. supposed to con-
tain arms, have been sent By express from the
state armory to the officials at the prisons.
Gov. Buchanan has ordered the state superin-
tendent of prisons to take vigorous action. Ii
is certain that a mob would not now move
on the Tracy City and Inman prisons
unless they were determined to DO
or die. Gov. Buchanan in an interview could
not say whether the leaders of the mob if ar
rested, could be convicted in Anderson county
Speaking of the release of the conyicts the
governor said:
There should have been a heavy guard at
each of these prisons. The trouble has been
that the lessees and the representatives Of
the state have each refused TO pay for such
guards and there have been none. The
stockades should have been defended
with powder and ball. The two
remaining prisons must be defended vigor-
law. but is defending the good citizens OF the
state against danger from criminals at large.
The prisons must be guarded and the matter
must be settled afterward tc the counties
Dispatches received here from several points
In kentucky state that over 800 conyicts have
been captured and are held to await instruc-
tons from the state the lessees.
Gov. Buchanan has offered reward Of IS 900
for the arrest and conviction of the leader OF
the mob at Lover Springs and one of $3.50 for
every man convicted OF participation in the
riot.

Changes That Will Be Made In the Navy a. .
Result
A dispatch was received at the Navy De-
partner. today announcing the death of Capt
Arthur r. Yates of heart disease at the Ports
mouth navy yard yesterday. Capt Yates was
captain of the Portsmouth yard, where he has
been stationed a ittl, over year. He was
appointed to the navy from New York thirty
eight years ago, and served for sixteen years
on the sea.
Capt Yates death will cause the promotion
of Commander BENZ. F. Day and will bring to
the head of the list Of commanders the name OF
Frederick R. Smith, whose case has been a
point in issue with naval authorities for some
years. He has been awaiting orders for fifteen
years, having been court-martialed in 1876 and
sentenced to dismissal. Strong influence was
brought to bear, and he WAS allowed to
remain in the service, but though strenuous
efforts have been made from time to time to
get him ordered to duty, they have always
failed. Now, his case is being utilized by the
advocates OF the selection" theory of naval
promotion as an argument against seniority
promotions.
The lieutenant commander to be promoted
is Geo. E. Ide, and if Commander Kellogg is
retired, as is generally anticipated. Lieutenant
Commander Geo. NJ. Book will become a COM
mander.
