While the Militia Is Present-An Ex-
ira Session of the Legislature Fore
gone Conclusion.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 24-Yesterday
morning the miners committee left
Knoxville for Coal Greek with the deci-
sion of the governor that if the convicts
were allowed to be placed in the mines
from which they had been evicted by the
miners the militia would be withdrawn
and the legislature would be convened in
extra session for the purpose of taking
such action as it saw fit on the convict
lease system. Coal Creek was reached at
IL O'Clock a. m. and the miners commit
tee stepped from the train. A thousand
miners were assembled to meet them. As
soon as the committee alighted from the
train a loud voice was heard: "All min
ers to the big grove"
The Committee Reports to the Miners.
The big grove was about a mile from
the station and thither the large crowd
rapidly made its way. A rude platform
was constructed and upon it was placed
the committee and ]. c. Williams, who
represented the Knoxville arbitration
committee. General Williams urged a
compromise. 1t should be remembered
that the governor says there has been no
proposition made by him but that of sus-
fasv, IL
ever, for citizens to see what could be
done to settle the difficulty, as he is a
warm supporter of labor, but at the same
time the executive. Two Spokesman of the
committee related the incidents of their
trip to meet the governor; how he had
made concessions and that in their minds
the miners ought to grant some.
A Counter Proposition Made.
Finally the miners agreed on a course of
action, and drew up resolutions contain
ing proposition to the governor This
proposition is that the troops must be
taken home from Knoxville. The con-
victs can he returned to Coal creek TOR
sixty days only, and the legislature TO
meet and repeal the convict law system.
With this proposition the committee re-
turned to H. oxville and went into confer
ence with the governor. Nothing could
be learned Of what was said, but in a
couple OF hours the conference ended and
the committee of miners was much de-
pressed. They said the governor would
do nothing at ALL
New Programme OF the Miners.
Mr. Ingratam, who has been prominent
in the trouble in Coal Creek, says that not
soldier will be harmed if they 90 to Coal
Creek, not man hurt, but the convicts
will be turned loose just as soon as they
leave. He says the miners are determined
that the conNicts shall not be worked in
the mines several OF the committeeman
are very angry, but unite in saying the
troops will rot be resisted if they go One
of the most conservative men in the city
says the proposition to Governor Buchanan
from the miners was an insult, and that it
would have been an insult TO the state for
the governor to have agreed to open viola
tion of the law, and that he has no power
to do so if he desired it,

Ihe right Is Undoubtedly ON and the
would-Be Spectators Go Home.
ST. PAUL, July 24-All efforts to bring
of the Fitzsimmons-Hall fight across the
border in Wisconsin have been abandoned,
and every departing train is carrying
away its contingent of Disguised, red-hot
sports. Most of them stayed up all last
night in the expectation of a sudden sum-
mons, ride on special train and ring
in some secluded dell, but they were dis.
appointed. Every half-hour or so the
word would go around the hotels that the
principals of the two men had agreed upon
locality and that special train was in
waiting at the station.
Looking for that Special Train.
Then a small army of sports would
tramp down to the siding, stub their toes
in the switches, dodge in and out between
the moving freights looking for the train
that wasn't there, and then tramp back
again tothe hotels, breathing maledictions
on the author of the canard. This pro-
gramme was repeated three or four times
between midnight and daybreak, and did
not tend very much toward reconciling
the visitors to the situation.
Hall Charged with Thinking.
The general impression seems to be that
Hall was not anxious to meet Fitzsim-
mons, and that if he had been there would
have been no great difficulty in having the
fight come off. 1t is alleged that he was
mighty glad the authorities interfered and
that the managers of Fitzsimmons did
their best to induce Halls managers to
agree to some arrangement, but the latter
found objections to every proposal. At
any rate there is no doubt that FitZsim-
mons was anxious to go on with the fight
Each man got 800 as an honorarium

A little before midnight the uncertainty
rs to what the governor would do was
dissipated by the issuance of orders to the
troops to be ready to move at 6o'clock
this morning. The governor told re
porter, after the conference with the com
mittee was closed, that the law would be
executed. Later corporals and sergeants
came to the city and hunted up all men
out on permit and took them to the camp
on University Hill. Parties who furnish
food for the convicts and troops were in
structed to furnish an early breakfast.
Persons who were keeping posted said that
large number of coaches were in the

Regulars and the Tennessee Troubles.

WASHINGTON, July A.-Since the ques-
ton has arisen of sending United States
troops to Tennessee should a request be
made for them by the governor of tue
state, army officers have been examining
the legal side of the question and doubt is
expressed if troops will be sent if asked
for. The constitution provides that the
president may render necessary assistance
with troops upon the application OF the
legislature, or the executive of the state
when the legislature cannot be convened.
This is understood not be the case in Ten
pessee at present.

Cheering Thackeray.

Mrs. Richie, Thackeray's daughter,
who has been giving in Macmillan's
Magazine some interesting recollections
of literary life, says that she has dim
but most delightful remembrance of a
party at the house Of Dickens, when his
children and she herself were very little.
She recalls her admiration Of the white
satin shoes and long white sashes worn
by the Dickens girls, and the fact that her
own sash was bright plaid of red and
blue, a combination which she "could
not bear" The evening passed, happily,
radiantly. and at its close came an Incl
dent which brings tears to the eyes Of
those who love and reverence the satiri-
cal but always warm hearted novelist.
Only this do remember very clearly,
that we had danced and supped, and
danced again, and that We were all stand
ing in hall lighted and hung with
punches of Christmas green, and as
have said, everything seemed altogether
magnificent and important, more magni-
ficent and important every minute, for
as the evening went on, more and more
people kept arriving.
The hall was crowded, and the broad
staircase was lined with little boys.

arms, and legs were waving about to-
gether. They were making great noise,
and talking and shouting, and the eldest
son of the house seemed to be marshall.
ing them.
Presently, their noise became q cheer,
and then another, and we looked up, and
saw that our own father had come to
fetch us, and that his white head was
there above the others.
Then came third final, ringing cheer.
and some one wentup to hint was Mr..
Dickens himself-and laughed, and said,
quickly, "That is for you!"
; My father, surprised, pleased, touched,
settled his spectacles, and nodded gravely
to the boys.
