he said. Il believe that we are now at
the beginning OF an era that will mark the
advance ot our country TO the rank of the
foremost commercial and financial nation
OF the world. For years the United States
has been drained annually Of millions of
gold, which was sent abroad TO redeem or

capitalists IN the times Of our fiuanoial
depressions. Ever since the beginning of
the war this has been going on. Ii is now

come TO Us. The stability during the re-

TENNESSEE MINING TROuRIee

KNOXVILLE, Sept. 9.-Reliable informa-
tiQn from Briceville, received tonight,
shows an alarming condition of affairs
there. It is reported that the miners have
determined to turn loose the I25 convicts
in the mines of the Knoxville Iron com
pany. The free miners have determined
to play desperate game. The public need
not be surprised if every convict in the
district is released within twenty-four
hours. The convicts in the Oliver Springs
district will also be turned loose The
program is not to take the convicts from
mines and march them to Knoxville or
any other place and surrender them to the
authorities, but to turn them free in the
mountains and run them out of the state
into Kentucky. Another alarming report
is that forty or fifty free miners, whom
the Tennessee Coal Mining company has
been working during all the troubles over
the convicts, have been notified that they
must leave the mine. They are told that
If they continue to work in the mine they
will be killed. The situation is causing
the operators much uneasinesS Conser-
vative people here are hopeful that the
miners will commit no outbreak until the
legislature takes some definite action 1t
IS believed by some that the free miners
make the threats contained in the above

lative action on the matter of leasing con-

A RUSSIAN LOAN.

LONDON, Sept 9-The Paris correspond
ent of the Times discussing the situation
in Russia says: After the Rothschilds'
refusal of loan to Russia it was found
that it would require e12, 600, 900 to relieve
the distress in Russia, whilst the poverty
of the people would cause a large reduc-
tion in the customs receipts from the sale
of alcohol, and the expenses OF increasing
her armament would bring the aggregate
deficit up to e35, 100000 or to 240,000 900.
Russia eagerly seized the Cronstadt en-
tente TO make a fresh but futile applica-
tion to the Rothschilds, who represented
the difficulty France herself would be in it
having to pay e30, 000.G00 to e40, 600 600 in
gold for American wheat Then other
bankers were approached, and they agreed
to advance loan to Russia at the same
prices as was offered by the Rothschilds,
namely about So This loan cannot be
negotiated before October. 1t will be
issued at a or 641I, and will be absorbed
by petty investors, as large houses, espe
cially Jewish, dislike Russian issues"

81 have my mothers word for it that when

digious howler. When l was three my
elder brother was six years old. One win

could do best-I howled as l had never
howled before.
"One of the servants was in the garden
long way off hanging up clothes But my
penetrating howl reached her, and instead
of bowling back to me to shut up, as you
would have done, she clapped on a full
head of steam and made bee line for that
pond. Fortunately she kept hold of the
clothes prop that she had had in her hand
when my signal OF alarm reached her and
arrived just in time to fish my brother out
before life became extinct My bowling

child howl l never murmur. You can
never tell when the howl may come in
