KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 24.-The dark.

tion this morning looked to those on the in

resolutions whica were unanimously re-

t.s Knoxville committee of citizens aud by
them approved and signed. An audience was

THE TROOPS GOING HOME.
This ends the trouble in the mining dis
tricts. The militia on College Hill were
drawn up at dress parade at 6 o'clock this
evening and orders read releasing them
from strict discipline. The Orders
were received with tumultuous cheering,
for the troops did not relish a week or two
in the mountains. Fourteen companies
viii leave for their homes to- morrow morn
ing Oh q special train. The conYicts will be
removed to Briceville and Coal Creek to-
morrow morning.
TO PROTECT THE CONVICTS.
The miners committee remain in Knox
vile tonight to accompany the guards and
convicts tomorrow to guarantee protection
when the train arrives at Coal Creek. This
action will not meet the full approval of all
the miners, but the terms Of the agreement
will be abided by. Never in the his
tory of labor agitation have illegal
acts been committed in 50 orderly fashion
were those of the Coal Greek valley
Hilers. They are so thoroughly disciplined
aud so thoroughly controlled by the miners
union that it is universally conceded that
the end of the trouble has come.
