Tho Trouble at the Tennessee Mines Over
for the Present.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 23.-The miners
committee which went to Coal creek to-day
to communicate Gov. Buchanan's decision
to the men reached their destination at
noon. A mass meeting was Immediately
held and the spokesmen of the committee
detailed their conferences with the COVER
nor and the results thereof. They said the
committee had received concessions, and in
their opinion the men ought to make some.
This did not meet with anything like uni
versal satisfaction, but the implicit conf
dence the miners have in their leaders was
shown by the unanimous vote to accept the
report of the committee on resolutions. The
gist OF the resolutions was that the convcts
should return to the mines, the miners
guaranteeing they would not be molested.
The militia will be ordered home. sixty
days will be allowed to convene tho legisla-
ture, during which time no convict shal be
molested and no property shall be de-
stroyed, and the miners, if necessary, will
place guards to see the promises arc kept
good. The miners committee returned to
Knoxville this evening to confer with the
governor
The conference with the governor this
evening lasted three hours and ended with
out satisfactory results. Governor Buch-
anah declined the consider the proposition
for the armistice on the ground that it
| would be an implied compromise with vio-
| lators of the law.

A MINISTER'S INJURIES.

Rev. T.. j. Stanley Burned While Fighting
Fire in His Home.
SrEvENsvILLE, July 27.- Especial. Rev.
L. j. Stanley, editor of the Montana Metho-
dist, was badly burned about the face, head
and hands, while engaged In lighting fire Mt
his home, near Corvallis, on the evening of
the 25th. The fire originated upstairs i'll
the bedroom of the hired girl and was
caused by her leaving candle burning
near and underneath n hanging dress,
which, in her temporary absence, caught
fire. Tho alarm was quickly raised and
through the heroic efforts of those present
and the near neighbors, the flames wore
suppressed without doing much more dam
age than destroying the furniture, clothing,
etc., of the room. Medical aid was quickly
obtained to attend to tho need of Mr.. stan
lev, who received his burns through trying to
fight the fire in the lining of the room over
head Whilst he ls at present confined TO
his bed, and the injury he has received may
prove serious yet it is hoped that his recov-
cry will be rapid, and that his face will not
be badly disigured. 1t is very questionable,
however, whether he will be able to attend
tho forthcoming session of the Montana
annual conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, south, to be held in Helena
commencing on the 29th.

Tho Vatican Adheres to the Republic De-
spite the Monarchists.
ROME, July 23.-In connection with the
reception accorded Monday to Manager
Ferrata, the new papal nuncio at Paris by
President Carnot, and the nuncio's an
nouncement that he hoped to draw closer
the ties existing between the vatican and
France, it is learned that prior to his de-
parture from Rome Ferrata had a long con-
ference with the pope and Car dinals Rom
pola and Rotelli. As result of these
conferences he must have mapped out
line of conduct for application in France
on the republican policy of Cardinal La
Vigerle. The vatican Is absolutely decided
in spite of the threats and persuasiona of
the monarchists. to continue the pol
icy of adhesion to the republic
in order to restore France to
religious and political pacihcation.
A renewal of the triple alliance will only
give strength to this evolution, which will
marx new departure IN the International
ecclesiastical policy of the holy see. The
programme of Ferrata will consist in apply
ing this principle to the constitutional
right party of M. Pibu in the chamber of
deputies; second in prevailing upon the
bishops and the clergy to make solemn
act of adhesion: and, thirdly to constitute
a vast Catholic union in the country out
side of the old dynastic parties. The vati-
can wishes above all that the monarchial
parties should not meddle in the move
ments.

The Farmers Combine to Corner Their
Own Wheat Product.
ST. PAUL, July 23.-St. Paul has been
made the headquarters of the national
movement by the United Farmers alliance
to corner the entire wheat crop of the
country. At No. 317 Wabasha street for
several days, large forde of employees have
been engaged in sending out circulars with
the view of having all classes of farmers
keep back their wheat Drop until prices
have been advanced to u high point. The
plan is to unite the farmers il a gigantic
wheat trust in which the producers thall be
the stockholders. and by which spectators
and the wheat buyers will be squeezed to
the wall. George M. Muller prominent
alliance man, is at the head of the move
ment The wheat crop of the United States
for 1891 is estimated at 500,oOO,0O0 bushels.
The promoters of the farmets' trust be-
lieve four-ffths of this can be held back by
the grower from four to eight weeks. by

gone skvward. Circulars have already been
sent to the secretaries of the alliances in all
