Free Miners Threaten to Clean Out the
Troops and the COnVlcts.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April ls.-The
trouble at Coal Creek continues. The
firing on the troops by the miners has
probably brought the long impending
crisis. Camp Anderson's telegraph OPP
orator, Maddox, is missing. A hint
was dropped by the miners some days
ago that the troops and convicts have
TO go ''when the leaves come out" All
the miners have quit work and yester-
day were seen conversing 'excitedly in
groups. The mines pay off to-day and
the troops will also get their monthly
allowance. This means a lively time
for the miners and troops fear another
conflict,

1000 boomers that were waiting in this
vicinity for the opening of the Chey-

yesterday, but few were to be seen at
the opening hour. Monday night and
at early dawn of day people could be
seen going toward the promised land
with view of stationing themselves
near the line nearest to their prospec-
tive claims. All the west line in Texas
and along the north line in the Chero-
kee strip people We're waiting for the
proper hour and some claims were
taken within few miles of this place
but most of the rush was for the cen

No accidents have been reported. 1t
is hard to state how much land has
been taken but it may be said more
than half can yet be had.

UNEASY ABOUT RUsTLERs.

Cabinet Discussion.

Cabinet Discussion.
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The rust
lers" trouble in Wyoming was the
principal topic of discussion at the
meeting of the cabinet yesterday. All
the members were present except the
secretary of the treasury and attorney
general.
The situation is regarded as serious
in view of the fact that tue feeling
against the prisoners is very bitter;
more SO because Of the freely expressed
threats of desperate men that they
mean to avenge the killing of Cham
pion and Ray at the first opportunity.
No word has been received from Col
oEel Van Horne and his captive at Fort
Mckinney since Saturday morning,
when he telegraphed General Brooke
at Omaha that he would start that day
for Douglas to turn his prisoners over
to the civil authorities.
Efforts to communicate with TT.
Mckinney and vicinity since that date
have failed and this has led to the be-
lief that the rustlers or their sympa-
thizers have cut all telegraph wires so
as to prevent the authorities from
learning the true situation of affairs
until their own purposes had been
accomplished.
A telegram was sent to General
Brooke yesterday morning asking for
the latest information on the subject.
He telegraphed in reply that Colonel
Van Horn, with force of 1875 men, had
started from Fort Mckinney with his
prisoners on the 10th inst. for Fort
Russell and that he General Brooke)
does not anticipate any trouble on the

The Eleventh Lesson.

In every respect it will be observed
that the pen and pencil differ from each
ether. The question as to the merits Of
each for reporting purposes has been dis.
cussed to o considerable extent by men,
bers of the profession. Those reporters
who employed pencil while learning,
never afterwards giving the pen o fair
trial, of course regard the pencil with
the greater favor. OF those who have
fairly tested both, the majority prefer the
pen. The advantages Of each may be
seen from the following comparison.
!. Pen work is permanent; pencil
writing fades out In few years.
2. Notes taken with pen are black
and easy to read; pencil writing is hard
on the eyes, and for this one important
reason pencil should be used as little
as possible.
8. Writing with gold pen, which Is
a yielding, sensitive instrument, is much
less fatiguing than manipulating o pen
Gil, which Is stiff and infexible.
Proper names are so numerous that q
vocabulary of them could not well be mem.
orized; aud this would be unnecessary,

the most difficult of them. The halVing
principle, circles, loops and other ad-
iunctive signs should be employed moro
eparingly than when writing common
words.
The learner who always cultivates q

be both more rapid and accurate. BY

characters be written not only small, but
closely together. Tho handwriting Of
