OF one of the strangest features of the
conventionsnly little can be said. That
is about the effect upon the women. Old
women, middle aged women and young
women were present. Their emotional
natures were wrought up by the scenes
until an irrational condition resulted.
They were in kind of ecstasy not un-
like that produced during religious re-
vivals, when the feeling becomes In
tense. Womanly reserve and maidenly
modesty were banished for the hour.
Every man who came along with a
badge was "brother." The faces Of these
women shone. Their manners were ex-
cited. Their greetings and congratula-
tions were ardent. 1t was a condition
that was dangerous. Poor Rev. George
Warfel, the minister from Huntingdon,
Pa, was taken away under guardian
ship the day after the convention. He
was so far demented that he could not
be left alone.
There were others in whom reason tot
tered under the strain, but whose loss of
mental balance was not quite SO pro-
nounced. In the parlors OF the hotel old
Captain Lloyd, the picture of "Last
Minstrel, with white hair hanging down
his shoulders and silver white beard
covering his breast, played upon his
flute, Home, Sweet Home" and all
around him there were weeping and
sobbing. The closing scene wasa fitting
one for this national convention of the
Peoples party.-Omaha Cor. st. Louis

Absolute Peace Reigns Throughout Coal
Greek Valley.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 22.-Abso-
lutte peace reigns throughout Coal Creek
valley. Yesterday, but for the move
ments of the soldiers, the village that
for nearly week has been the scene of
fierce conflict was quiet as New
England farm town. There were great
many strangers visiting the scenes of
the riots. The trains leaving here car
ned large numbers from Knoxville who
were anxious to view the ground where
two Of their brave fellow citizens fell in
battle. On arriving at Coal Creek and
properly identifying themselves they
were allowed to go inside the lines.
General Anderson was the hero of the
day and received congratulations in his
honor at the fort bearing bis name.
Four hundred miners and citizens of
Coal Creek have been arrested and two
hundred of them held for examination.
They have been removed from the box
cars and are now guarded in church.
Some of them are still very defiant,
abusing the officers in charge and
threatening vengeance ON their captors.
General Carnes, took an engine and
went up the road towards Jellico yester-
day to arrest a man who made an in
Cenulary speech on FRIDAY. WeDD was
not found, but one Rankin, a we'll
known agitator and leader. WAS captured
and brought back to Coal Creek, where
he was locked up Carnes is determined
TO arrest all the leaders and agitators in
the mining district. Whether the civil
authorities will properly punish or not
is a question.
Six hundred stands of rifles and 30,-
600 rounds of cartridges sent here by
the United States government arrived
at Knoxville yesterday and will be for
warded to Coal Creek as they are
needed. Morton's battery, of Nash
vile, left for Coal Creek and will form
a part of the regular garrison at Fort
Anderson. No trouble is anticipated
for some time at least, but the troops
will remain at Coal Creek indefinitely
for the purl ose of keeping the peace.
Five men lie dead today from out of
the ranks of those who have supported
the law-three OF them soldiers and two
civilians who marched forth ut the call
of the governor
Eleven miners are numbered as dead,
though all the bodies, save one, have
been spirited away to mountain fast
nesses by their late companions, who
follow Indian methods of warfare in
this as well us other WAYS.
1t is rumored that Bud Lindsay has
tried to cause prisoners at Coal Creek to
mutiny and General Carnes has deter
mined to shoot him.

ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND.
The Reunion at Chattanooga Will be the
Largest for Years.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 22.-The prepara-
tions for the coming reunion of the
Army of the Cumberland at Chatta-
nooga Sept. 10, 10 and II next, have
brought out some information of in
terest to veterans. AS one example, it
found that there are 21,000 surviving
Uflicers and non.commissioned officers
of the 205 regiments ana batteries which
served in that army. The list of Of
ficers and on-commissioned officers is
accepted as showing that about $4,000
private soldiers who served in the Army
of the Cumberland, or about 10000 in
all, still survive.
The Information received by General
Rosencrans, the president, indicates that
the Chattanooga reunion will be one of
the largest army gatherings Of recent
years. The brigade Of General Wilter
alone will have 200 of its former MEN,
bers in attendance to lay the corner
stone Of its monument in the Chicka-
mauga National park. General Grant,
the acting Secretary of War, has ap-
proved as the location of this monument
point fifty feet south of the widow
house which was General Rosencans'r
headquarters. This imposing structure
will be 10 feet high and will cost
$4,000. General Alger, the regular
orator, being unexpectedly prevented
from attending, the annual Grafton will
be delivered by his alternate, General
Il. V. Boynton.

Mr.. Douglas Henty, who has left ESQ.,
900 to foreign missions and Bible soci-
ETY., was head of the biggest brewery in
West Sussex. He was certainly strong
churchman, but his inclinations were
those of sportsman. He kept race
horses, and at one time cut a consider
able figure on the turf, so that this dis
posal of third part of his personal
estate has caused some talk about
Chichester, where the major portion Of
the ninety public houses he owned are
situated. .... ..--.
The Hentys are one of the wealthiest
trading families in the south of Eng
land. They unite brewing and banking,
like many of the great brewers, who
first acquire tho command Of public
houses and then educate their publicaus
to give them the use of their money.

counties, and score of others have done
the same.-London Star.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 22.-Max Fem
ner, a local pugiliss, known as the "Ter-
riole Swede," is dying from the effects
of a fight, and the other principal, Billy
Allen, a soldier from the Preside garri-
son. is in the city prison, being held to
await Fenner's death, when a charge of
manslaughter will be made against him.
The fight was a furious and unscientific
battle Allen is an amateur, but he
proved quick and hit like pile driver.
The Swede cliuched to avoid punish
ment, when Allen solved his tactics and
upper cut him fearfully. In the fourth
round the Swede fell helpless ON the
ropes while Allen rained heavy blows
on his head and neck That ended the
fight. 1t took half an hour to revive
the Swede. A day or two after he be-
came i'll and symptoms of concussion of
the brain developed. His life now
hangs in the balance.

courtroom there ran through it muir
mur Of surprise and recognition. They
looked upon his face and beheld the face
of their friend they had loved-every
feature in perfect counterpart, the
great laughing blue eyes, the manly,
straightforward expression, the warm,
friendly smile. He took his seat beside
his lawyer, and the case was won before
1t was begun. He bore in his person the
incontestable signs of heirship. His evi-
dence was vital, therefore real, incon-
trovertible.

has decided not to complete its work on
the Rothschoenberger Strollen, the long
est tunnel in the world. The main
tunnel is of the same length as the st.
Gothard tunnel. It's branches, however,
add twenty-one miles to its length, max
ing the total extent almost thirty miles.
The tunnel WAS begun at state expense

CANADIAN RETALIATION.
The Action Of the President After Care
full Consideration.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The procla-
nation of the president in retaliation
for the unfriendly spirit of the Cana
dian government as evidenced in the
discrimination against American vessels
passing through the Welland canal to
Canadian ports was somewhat of sur
prise, though not unexpected. The sub
stance of the proclamation is as fol-
lows:
Whereas, said Welland canal is con-
nected with the navigation of the great
lakes, and l am satisfied that the passage
through it of cargoes in transit to ports
of the United States is made difficult
and burdensome by said discriminating
system of rebate and otherwise, and is
reciprocally unjust and unreasonable,
Now, therefore, !, Benjamin Har-
rison, president of the United States Of
America, by virtue of the power to that
end conferred upon me by said act of
congress, approved July 26, 1899, do
hereby direct that on and after Sept. /,
1892, until further notice, toll of
twenty cents per ton be levied, collected
and paid on all freight u whatever kind
or description passing through the st.
Mary's Falls canal in transit to any
port of the Dominion of Canada,
whether carried in the vessels of the
United States or of other nations: and
to that extent do hereby suspend from
and after said date the right of free
passage through said st. Mary's Falls
canal Of any and all cargoes or portions
Of cargoes in transit to Canadian ports.
Included in the aftermath of the Cana
dian retaliation proclamation is a state
ment that this course has been under
careful adNisement since before the ad-
jchrnment of congress- The informa-
uon is now allowed to leak out that the
precise shape which retaliation should
take, so as to produce the most telling
effect on Canadian commerce and pre-
cipitate IL solution of the difficulty, was
arrived ut after repeated consultations
with leading business men of our Cana
dian frontier
1t is said in administration circles
that the ground was so carefully gone
over beforehand that Canada is not left
leg to stand on, and must give in to
the American demands and immedi-
ately revoke the order in council of
April last authorizing the discriminat-
ing rebate of IL cents ton on grain
products shipped to Canadian ports.

Rouehors Opposed to the Reduction.

PIrrsBURo. Aug 22.-The roughers
of the Pittsburg district discussed the
decision of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion conference committee in changing
the reduction in the finishing depart
ments from "a graded to a horizontal cut,
thereby imposing AN additional decrease
in pay of about 3 per cent. on the
roughers. Steps were taken for the for
nation of permanent organization,
which is to be effected at a meeting
fixed for next Sunday. While most Of
the roughers perceive that it would be
unwise to strike on the head of the
agreement with the manufacturers,
there is still an ugly feeling abroad
among them which may result in local
troubles. A telegram from Youngs-
town, o., says that at a meeting of val
ley roughers there ON Saturday protest
was registered against the 10 per cent.
reduction. They will hardly refuse to
go to work, however President Weihe,
of the Amalgamated Association, re-
fused to talk on the subject of the
roughers move.
