Tennessee Miners Are Desperate.
KNOXVILLE, TENN. September 12-Relia.
BILE information received here from Brics-
vile and Csal Greek il that the miners thsru
have determined to turn loose the LIS CON.
victs in the mines of the Knoxville Iron COM
pany. During the late Bricsvills trouble
these convicts were taken cut of the stockada
and sent to Knoxville the same day that thu
troops were captured ct Briceville. Later
they were returned and put to work and mat
ters have been gong along smoothly, but il
seems that the free miners have now deter
mined to play desperate game. The coal
mining season is opening with rush, and Z
large operator says that with no disturbance
the mines could not fill their orders.
There 10 now great uneasiness and opera
tors do not know what to do.
Whether the miners will attack the con-
victs or not remains to be seen, but there il
great unsasiness in the entire district, and q
gentlemen who 10 thoroughly posted upon
the situation says the public need not be sur
prised if every convict in the district is re-
leased within twenty-four hours. The con-
victs in the Oliver Springs district will also
be released. The programme this time 10
not to guard the convicts to Knoxville or any
other place and surrender them to the author
tiles, but to turn them free in the mountains
and run them out of the state into Kentucky.

ROCHESTER, N. Y. September 1.-THE re-

ticket a. follows:
Governor, ]. D. Fassett, of Chemung;
lieutenant governor, John Vrooman of Her
klmer; secretary of state, E. F. O'Connor, of
Brooklyn; comptroller, A. Z. Ware, of James
town; treasurer, I. NJ. Hargraves. of Monroe;
engineer and surveyor, V. Colvin, of Albany.
Andrew d. White had been q prominent
candidate for governor, and was on the slate,
and would probably have been nominated
but for his articles in Popular Science
Monthly, attention to which was directed q
few daye before the convention. These arti-
cles, in their general drift, array science
against scripture, ana would have been used
against him by church people.
The platform adopted is stalwart.

Sensational Hunger Reports.

LONDON, September 11.-From Russia
comes the news of tragedies attendant on the
failure of the harvest and the consequent suf.
ferlng and struggle for existence. While no
cases of canabalism have been reported. there
have been several cases of mysterious disap-
pearance that are attributed to suspected
cannibalism. and in Bessarabia the police are
carefully watching for evidence against per-
sons under suspicion. Many suicides are
stated to have occurred among the peasantry,
who, owing to strong religious feeling, have
been, as rule, slow to commit the act. There
is nothing reassuring in Russian advices, and
the prospect for them this winter is too ter
rible to contemplate.

LONDON, September 12.-Public opinion IN
Great Britain is ut the present moment turn
ing with indignation upon the Mormon cru
sadc being preached in many of the country
districts.
Revelations just made show that there are
200 Mormon "mlssionaries" at present work
ing in Great Britain. their attention being
particularly devoted to Yorkshire and Lam
cashire.
Particular attention has been called by the
press to the operations of two young ''Mor-
mon missionaries who have been operating
in . village of Lancashire, and some strange
disclosures az to the proselyting methods
adopted have been made.
The result has been another upheaval of
public indignation, and it is probable that
another and more determined attempt will
be made to find some means of putting q
stop to this trans Atlantic traffic in women.
The revelations just made, it should be
added, have brought about thorough venti-
lation and exposure of the methods of the
latter day saints.

HALF MILLION MEN.
This organization has been perfected
through coiored alliances, and numbers more
than half million with thousands being
added every day throughout the southern
states. Colonel r. NJ. Humphrey, general
superintendent of the colored alliance, ad-
mitted the existence of this organization,
saying it had been induced by the organiza-
ton some time ago of planters and mer-
chants In certain sections, notably Memphis
and Charleston, to reduce the price for pick
ing to . very low standard, and that the cot
ton pickers had combined to protect them-
selves from this dictation, and he thought
they would be able tc do 80.
CIRCULARS SENT OUT.

mailed at Houston to every sub alliance
throughout the cotton belt, fixing the date

simultaneously inaugurated. and how it shall
be conducted.

alliance of the United States 10 in this city.
Colonel R. M. Humphrey, general superin-
tendent of the colored farmers alliance and
cotton pickers league. has been actively at
work in organizing the colored men for q
general strike all over tho south. A copy
was obtained of q secret circular which
Humphrey is having distributed by thousands
all through the cotton states.
The following is the main feature Of the
strike:
Whereas, The planters and spectators
above mentioned are firm in their demand
that you pick at starvation wages. - offered
by them, and leave your families to suffer
fearful consequences, placing to yeur account
the present low price of their cotton; and
Whereas, Above 600, 600 pickers have al
ready bound themselves together insa-
cred Covenant to pick nc cotton for any
ono, except their own, before about November
I, at less than 81 per 100 pounds, with board;
and
TO STRIKE ON SATURDAY.
Whereas, Your success depends upon your
united action.
Now, therefore, l, R. N. Humphrey, by
virtue of the authority in me vested, do issue
this, my solemn proclamation, fixing the
18th day of September, 1891, it being Satur-
day, as the day upon which all our people
shall cease from. and absolutely stop picking
cetton, except their own, and shall pick no
moro before about November I. unless their
just demand for wages shall b sooner ac-
coded to by the planters and others interested.
