BURIED THE RATCHET.
The Statu Quo in the Briceville Mining
District Restored-The Militia
Sent Home.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 24.-The situa-
ton this morning looked to those on the III
side more dangerous than at any
time since the beginning of
the Briceville trouble. This after
noon, however, at 2 O'Clock the miners
committee met in room at the Lamar
house, and in half an hour the trouble
was ended. Hon. Dennis Leaby at
the beginning of the session pre-
sented the draft of series of
resolutions, which were unanimously re-
ceived. The resolutions were presented TO
the Knoxville committee of citizens
and by them approved and signed.
An audience was then had
with Governor Buchanan and Attorney
general Pickle. To say that the opportu-
nifty to obtain peace without bloodshed was
jumped at, puts things mildly. A love feast
meeting followed. Following are the reso-
lutions:
/. The statu quo to be restored, and the
guards and convictS not to be moleSted,
and we viii use all ordinary and honorable
means to prevent interference.
2. Reposing confidence in our governor,
and believing the general assembly when
they meet will give US relief from the
oppression that now exists, we will
endeavor to conduct ourselves as law-abid-
ing people so as to maintain the confidence
and sympathy of the public in the future as
well as in the past.
B. We do hereby express thanks to Gov
ernor Buchanan for his kind con-
sideration in holding the mil
itia in this city, and thereby
preventing conflict that might have re-
suited in bloodshed
1. To the committee of citizens we also
express our thanks for the interest shown,
and their advice in their efforts to adjust
existing difficulties.
The document was signed by the COM
mittee and approved by the citizens COM
mittee. This ends the trouble The mill
tia on College Hill were drawn up at dress
parade at 6 p. M, and the orders read re-
leasing them from strict discipline. The
orders were received with cheering for the
troops did not relish week or two in the
mountains. The fourteen companies will
leave for their homes tomorrow morning

The Cut Begins.

The annual rate-cuttiag over the Grand
Army OF the Republic excursion tickets is
on again. II was thought for time that
the rates would be maintained during 1891,
but there seems TO be something in the an
nual Grand Army of the Republic excur-
sions that precludes all hope of averting j
rate war, and for this reason these annual
excursions have come to be regarded as ut
terly demoralizinc. The cut will be from
St Louis and Missouri river points, and
the rates from Texas will be scaled down
accordingly, some of the ticket agents eX-
pressing the belief that the round-trip rate
from Fort Worth to Detroit will yet go to
Sl5 The first cut was made yesterday,
when all the roads posted the rate as 500. 10.
The Santa F'e and the Katy say they are in
il for business, and will stay with 'em'' if
the rate goes down to SIS, or even lower

The Katy,s Refrirerators.

The Texas brewing company were under
the necessity of securing more refrigerator
service, but found the demand was such the
refrigerator cars were in constant use.
They were puzzled to know what to do and
the Katy wanted to accommodate them.
After some scheming the Katy secured four
refrigerator cars, which will be put at the
disposal of the brewery as soon as they
come from the shops. The first one is ex-
pected TO arrive to-day. The cars were for
local shipments of beer and ice TO points on
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas in Texas,
and these will be run on the Katy exclu-
sively. This puts the brewery in good
shape rs far as refrigerator car service is
concerned

A TYPICAL STRUCTURE.
CaIifornia's Exhibition Building at the
Worlds Fair,
The Commission VIII Reject the Plans
Now Drawn-A Building of the
Mission Style Urged.

Captain Thompson, Secretary of the
California Worlds Fair Commission,
came up from San Francisco on Tuesday
night, but before leaving stated to a
reporter that meeting would in all
likelihood be held previous to that set for
the 18th of July.
'It will depend entirely,n he said,
upon the possibility of securing the at
tendance ofa quorum, but we are anxious
to decide upon a plan fora State building.
None of the plans thus far submitted are
entirely satisfactory, and as the building
question is one of more or less urgency,
we want to get it off our hands. You will
remember, of course, that we advertised
for competitive plans some months ago,
offering prize Of $500 for the one that
was most acceptable.
''As a result twelve were sent in, and
a description of each was printed just
prior to our departure for Chicago. These
were taken with us on our Eastern trip,
and submitted to the chief architect, Mr..
Burnham, who examined them very
carefully, but objected to them all. There
was not one among the entire number
that, In his opinion, was entirely typical
of the State. He went into the question
at great length and very thoroughly, and
at last advised us to reject them all. He
held, as we think very properly, that a
State building should be emblematic OF
the history and resources Of the State,
and that is what we are striving to Sc
cure.
''In view Of this it is probable that we
shall, at our coming meeting, refuse to
adopt any of the plans thus far sub
mitted, but will probably stand by the
Of n arfic criyr lo
prize to the one that we consider the best.
1t is not at all probable that we will util-
iZe the plan decided upon as the most
representative of the State, but that can
not be taken exception to by the archi-
tects.
What we shall probably do is this
| We will employ an architect to draught
plans, and will. have him consult with
the commission. After giving him our
! ideas, we will have him go to Chicago
and confer with Mr.. Burnham, and then
set to work upon plans. In that way we
hope to secure a building that will be
worthy of California and her great indus
tries.
'Mr. Burnham, who, by the way, is re-
garded as one of the greatest architects OF
the United States, is in favor of a build
| ing of the Mission type, but is opposed to
mixed style of architecture, such as
| shown in our submitted plans. He in
formed US that building thus erected
would be of little credit to us, and we
were inclined to regard it in the same
light. 1t is probable, therefore, that
| the plans when accepted will be of the
old Mission style, and that idea will be
carried out without any deviations from
it. This, of course, is only my individual
opinion, but it has been formed after dis
cussing the matter with a majority of the
| Commissioners, who seem to think as
! do.n

ANOTHER STREET RAILWAY.
The Electric Company Wants
Franchise on P Street.
It Promises to Have the Line in Opera
ton Within Four Months, IF
Given q franchise.

Yesterday petitions were being circu-
lated among property-owners on p street
in favor of the granting of franchise to
the Electric Railway Company to con-
struct and operate branch of its road
| through that street.
The thOroughfare is about to be graded
and graveled, and Mr.. Henry and his
associates propose to lay their track if
the franchise be granted-at the time the
street is raised. All they ask is that they
be not required to pay for the grading
| between the rails-in other words, they
will give the property-owners an electric
railway if the latter will pay for the grad
ing, as they would if no railroad was to
be built.
c. 4. Luhrs, is one of the P-street
property who is taking an active
| interest in the proposed Improvement.
lie informed a RECORD-UNION reporter
| yesterday that the company would have
| It's electric cars running on that street
within four months if their proposition
| should be accepted, and he added that the
enterprise was meeting with general
! favor among the property-owners, many
| of,wBom had already signed the petition
The proposition Is to have the road run
down p street to Sixth, and through the
! latter street to J, where the cars will take
the tracks of the present line TO the depot.
| Several new cars are already being made
| in the East, and will be here shortly.
Mr.. Luhrs saidt hat several citizens had
urged that the road be run down Third
street to p, instead of through Sixth, in
order to accommodate visitors to the Art
Gallery and Museum, but that the in
ducement was not Sufficient 1t would,
he said, be taking the road too far away
from the center of population, whereas q
line through Sixth street would accom-
modate thickly settled locality.
1t is expected that the company will file
its application for franchise at next
Mondays session OF the Board of
! Trustees.
