The Cor ,viots at Knoxville.

KNOXVILLE Tenn, July 21.-After the
release of the convicts at Briceville and
after the troops and convicts had been
put on the train, the mob went to the
mines of the Knoxville Iron Company,
surrounded the stockade and captured
the 1875 convicts there with the guards.
They were shipped here. All the con-
victs are now in Knoxville in an old
building under guard.
1t is reported that the miners at Oliver
Springs have released the 1870 convicts.
The excitement here Is intense. The
streets are crowded and everybody Is
talking about the trouble.
1t is reported that the special train
will arrive here at 10 o'clock with the
first lot of troops, and at l o'clock the
second train will arrive. Troops are un-
doubtedly being hurried forward.
The troops who have arrived here say
the statement made that they would not
fight but wished the miners to capture
the convicts is false The Chattanooga
boys show a brave front and are deter
mined to go back. Many miners from
Jellico and Newcomb were in the mob.

81. PAUL, Mimi, July 21.-The mass
meeting last night to protest against the
ll-Fitzsimmons fight tomorrow night
was attended by over 5000 people.
Archbishop Ireland was the chief speak
er OF the evening, and he arraigned the
prize, ring and its "lawlessnes and vul-
gar animalism" and the municipal au-
thorities for permitting the exhibition.
Ex-United States Senator Mcmillan and
the Rev. W. B. Butterick, of the FIRST
Baptist Church, were the other speakers,
and were even more severe than was the
Archbishop.
Toward the close of the meeting a
memorial was presented calling on the
Govecnor to int rfere and prevent the
fight. in view of Mayor Smiths public
refusal to do SO. 1t was proposed to
crowd would have no delay. With
shouts of present it nowP' it was de-

people went to the State capital for that
purpose. A committee was sent to sum-
mon Gov. Merriam from his residence to
receive the memorial. The Governor told
the committee that he could not address
such a great crowd, but would receive

A Warrant Out for Fitzsimmons.
A complaint has been filed and a war
rant issued for the arrest of Fitzsim-

TROOPS TERRORIZED.
Armed Miners in Tennessee
Drive Them Away.
A SERIOUS CONFLICT EXPECTED.
The Governor Orders Out the Entire
Militia of the State.

The Miners Determined Not to Permit
Convicts to Compete With Thsm-In-
tense Excitsmcnt in KnOxvIlle-The
Streets Crowded With People Discuss
ing the Trouble.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 21.-The
crisis in the trouble between the ousted
miners in this district and the convicts
who were brought here from the State
prison at Nashville has at last been
reached.
When about 400 armed strikers at.
tackled the guards who had charge of 80
felons at Briceville last Wednesday night
and liberated their charges, it was con-
fldently predicted that this would be but
the beginning of general movement
throughout the entire mining district of
the State. Gov. Buchanan was tmmedi-
ately notified and responded by ordering
two companies from Chattanooga and
one from Knoxville to the scene. OF the
90 convicts taken from the guards at
Briceville, two escaped and the others
were brought to this city. When the
militia arrived they took the convicts
along back with them and warned the
mob that they would protect them at all
hazards.
Gov. buchanan at once proceeded to
the seat of trouble, and in a neat speech
explained his own position to the rebel
lious miners. He told them that it was
his sworn duty to uphold the law, and
If the convict lease system was wrong he
was not to blame, and that the only re-
course of the men waRs through the Legis-
lature.
The miners announced that their fami-
lies were starving, and that they were
compelled to drive out the convicts II it
cost the life of every man In the valley.
They made all sorts Of fun of the hand
full of beardleSs youths, but declared
that they would not harm the "spider-
legged, cigarette-smoking dudes" as
they characterized the militia, but as
soon as the militia were withdrawn they
would release every convict in the re-
gion. Becoming impatient, however, at
the delay in recalling the troops, they
decided to overcome the troops by force
of numbers and succeeded, only too
we'll.

Troops to Surrender.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 21.-Gov Blu
chanan has ordered the entire State
militia to Briceville to protect the con-
victs at work in the mines at that place.
A dispatch from Coal Creek says that
1000 miners sent a committee to the
soldiers now there and demanded imme-
diate surrender.
The soldiers laid down their arms, and
the miners are now in possession of the
stockade.
They compelled the convicts, forty in
number, aud 100 soldiers, to get aboard
the train, which took them away from
the scene of the trouble.
Now that the miners are in control and
are supplied with guns, taken from the
soldiers, it Is not thought likely that they
will be driven out without a bloody bat
tie. 1t Is reported that 1000 miners are
marching to the seat of war.
