Chattanooga workingmen Ccnsure the Gov.
ernor and Mine Owners.
A special from Chattanooga, Tenn, says: "At
q largely attended meeting of working people
with the Federation Of Trades, representing
sixteen trades and callings in this city, it was
unanimously resolved that the present trouble
existing at Briceville is but the natural outcome
of the long and persistent violation of law on
the part of mine owners in refusing to permit
the miners to elect a check weigher to insure
fair weight for coal moved and also of the IN
American attempts to compel employees to sign
an agreement not to affiliate with any labor
organization. This open violation Of the
laws OF the state and open attempt to intimi-
date the men were both brought to the Mt
tention of the state authorities and by
them utterly ignored and left unredressed.
The governor was censured for taking an
armed force to assist in the work Of intimida-
ton and opposing the miners and the militia
was condemned the opinion being expressed
that all laboring men. union or non-union in
their ranks should return home, az they are
that should exist in the hearts of fair and hon
est working citizens. The meeting further
passed resolutions indorsing the miners and
condemning the authorities and mine owners
III. ID. Schwartz, the chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee. was sent to Briceyille to
present the resolutions and state the feeling
existing here. They sent to the governor a
petition asking him to call at the earliest mo-
ment special session of the legislature to con-
s:der the penitentiary and convict lease
system"

RECIPROCITY REFUSED.

The Congress of Venezuela Declines the
Terms offered by the United States.
A New York special to the Philadelphia Press
says:
The congress Of the republic of Venezuela
has refused to negotiate a reciprocity treaty
with the United States upon the terms proposed
by the United States government The rea-
sons given are that the treaty stipulations
would result in a serious loss Of revenue to
Venezuela without any compromising advan-
tage to her own products. and in increased
prices for the agricultural products which they
would be permitted under the proposed treaty
to export to the United States free of duty.
The statement of the congress is in answer to
a communication dated May 90 from Senior r.
Andueza Palacio, president of Venezuela. in
which he requests the advice of the represent
atives as to the propriety of negotiating the
treaty. The answer of congress contains a COM
.pliment to Mr.. Blaine. an expression of good
will toward this country and hope for future
reciprocity upon conditions more acceptable to
Venezuela.

Story of the Quarrel.
Nathaniel K. Jones, son of United States
Senator James K. Jones, was shot Saturday
evening at Washington Ark, and died about
10 o'clock yesterday morning. Attending
ply sicians from the outset gave the Senator
and his wife no encouragement, assuring them
that the bullet had touched very near the
heart and that little less than miracle could
save their son.
The scene around the deathbed was particu-
larly sad. Senator Jones was deeply attached
to his son, who was his favorte child, while
Mrs. Jones loved him with all a mothers devo-
ton. The parents were led from the room
Frustrated with grief.
The town Of Washington was wrapped in
gloom yesterday. The tragedy was referred to
| in all the town pulpits and nothing else has
been talked about on the streets. Sympathy
for the afflicted parents is general.
Young Jones was scarcely more than twenty
years old. He possessed talent of a high order,
was well educated and intended to continue his
studies. He had an inclination for the law He
was popular in the community and all over the
state, and was wellknown in this city.
Young Jones and Chipley, his slayer, had a
dispute some time ago, which. on their meeting
in Washington Saturday evening, was renewed.
Chipiey started toward the depot of the Arkan-
sas and Louisiana railroad, intending to take
the train for his home. Jones went after him
| in order, 1t is claimed, to get a retractjon of

met in the passenger coach. Different versions
are given Of what passed between them. The
only statement that is clear is that Chipley fired
