THE TENNESSEE STRIKERS,
Discussing the Possibility OF Call for Regu
lar Troops.

lar Troops.
Army officers are watching with interest the
conflict between the striking miners and the
state militia in Tennessee, apprehending that
the failure Of the latter to cope with the miners
may result in a call upon the national govern
nrent for troops. In this case it would be diff
cultfor the War Department to meet the demand
in time to serve the purpose Of protecting the
convict miners. The nearest army post, ex-
cepting Columbia arsenal, where there is no
available force Of troops, is Newport barracks,
near Cincinnati. There are but two companies
of infantry there, however, and not all Of these
troops could be spared. Fort Russell in Ohio
has bare garrison of one company and the
nearest available troops are probably as far
west as st. Louis, from which point their trans
portation to the mountains Of east Tennessee
would be difficult and slow. The army officers
here, however, having q suspicion that the
sentiment of the people Of Tennessee, includ-
ing the militia, is favorable to the striking
miners, who are fighting against contract labor.
hope that il the militia again fails the result
may be a return Of the conyicts to their pris-
ons without recourse to federal assistance.

PARNELL AT NEWCASTLE.
His Speech interrupted by Inquiries Al
"kitty's" Health.


"kitty's" Health.
Mr.. Parnelrs recent meeting at Newcastle
was very disappointing to the ex-leader in re-
spect Of attendance, the hall being only two
thirds filed. No Irishman of local prominence
was present and it was necessary to make
Sunderland man chairman.
Mr.. Parnell's speech was repeatedly inter-
rupted by irrelevant inquiries after the health
Of 'Kitty." At points where, in the ordinary
course Of things. applause would have been in
order, mischief makers seldom failed to raise
q cheer for Gladstone, and the demonstration
made by the disturbers was at least as noisy as
that made by the supporters Of the speaker.
Mr.. Parnell INDUCED in severe abuse OF the
liberals. but exempted John Morley from the
other Gladstonians. He declared that Mr..
Morley told him last autumn that he feared
Mr.. Gladstones home rule bill would cause
anger and surprise among irishmen A denial
from Mr.. Morley may now be expected.

STORIES ABOUT MIR. BLAINE.
Halford Denies the Statement Thai
He Inspired Them.

Secretary Halford Denies the Statement That
He Inspired Them.
Cape May Special to the New York World today.
The World correspondent visited Secretary
Halford today to ask him about the truth Of
the statement published in the Sunday Goxete
Of Washington and quoted today in the World
that he, through Perry Heath, telegrsphed .
dispatch to the Omaha Bee and Indianapolis
Journal setting forth that Mr.. Blaine had
placed his resignation in President Harrison's
hands on account Of his i'll health. MIR. Halford
said:
'In regard to that can only say that I have
not seen any such dispatch in the Omaha Bee
or in the Indianapolis Journal, and any state
ment that inspired those dispatches or was
the author Of them is absolutely false"
do You by that mean to say that you have
never been in any way an agent in the promul-
CATION Of any such story?"
81 mean to say" the secretary answered,
'just what / have said-that have not seen
these dispatches and that neither inspired nor
contrived them"
Mr.. Halford talked with the correspondent
for half an hour in defense Of the Presidents ST.
lence upon the relations between himself and Mr.
Blaine. He thought it would be eminently i'm
proper, foolish and altogether q remarkable
performance for either Of those men, sustain
ing the official relations they do. to make any
declaration either in affirmation or denial of
rumors affecting their amity or enmity.
The only knowledge" Mr.. Halford con-
tinued, that 1 have of the condition of Mr..
Blaine's health is such as 1 have gained from
time to time from the newspapers"
And YOU are the man through whose hands
goes all the Presidents mail?"
Mr.. Halford hesitated for just a second in APP
parent embarrassment Then he said:
swell, should not consider it nv place 10
open letter from Mr.. Blaine If one should
come. would not open any letter for Presi-
dent Harrison from q member of his cabinet"
MIR. Halford said he did not pose as the Presi-
dents keeper, that he did not aspire to promi-
nence as the official news dispenser Of the ad-
ministration, but simply performed such Office
as devolved upon him. He offered to ask the
President if he was willing to grant an inter
view upon the subject of his own and Mr..
Blaine's relations, but said that it was prepos-
ferrous to suppose for an instant that President
Harrison would do such q thing. 1t had been
Gen. Harrison's custom to let newspapers hunt
down their own stories, and he did not believe
that custom would be deviated from now.
