A Desperate Fight

/ NASHVILLE, Tenn.-A bulletin lust
received from Knoxville, Tenn, says:
After desperate fight at Oliver be.
tween the troops and miners, the
former were forced to retreat, and
now have 200 convicts, bringing them
to this place.
EXCITEMENT IN CHATTANOOGA.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Bulletins
posted on the leading buildings Of this
city tell the following story: "Ten-
nessee to arms" "Will you allow
your state to be disgracedS" "The
miners have captured the soldiers.
Let volunteers come at once" "Lieu-
tenant Royster Is in the armory to re-
ceive volunteers" bring any kind
OF weapon you may have"
A thousand people stood in the
drizzling rain and read the bulletins
with alarm. Terror was added when
Colonel Woodford wired from Harrl-
man that the thirty Knoxville soldiers
had been captured en- route to Oliver
Springs.
Wires were cut and no one could say
what fate they had met, and the pa
rents of the boys who are at the scene
are wild with anxiety for the safety of
their sons. Mayor Andrews wired
Colonel Woodford not to leave Harri-
mans with the boys if he doubted his
ability to successfully fight, and the
dispatch, together with the story Of
the capture of the Knoxville boys,
caused instant Generalization among
the troops, and they are badly phased.
1t is estimated that fully 5000
armed miners are in the field In East
Tennessee, and the fight against the
troops is uneven TO say the least.
THE VERY LATEST.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Eighteen
hundred miners advanced OH Oliver
Springs at noon and captured the
place.
The little knot of militia was forced
TO retreat. and all of the convicts were
put on the cars and headed for Nash
vile. Whom the convicts had been re-
moved the stockade was burned to the
ground. Late reports say that Coal
Creek Is the next point. A stubborn
light will be made here, as the troops
have gatling gun and cannon.
Volunteers cannot be mustered to
any extent In Chattanooga.

THAT charity alone endures which
1ows from sense Of duty and hope
IN God. This is the charity that
treads In secret those paths from
which all but the lowest of human
wretches have fled; this is that char
aty which no labor can weary, no in
gratitude detach, no horror disgust;
That tolls, that pardons, that suffers;
that is seen by no man, and honored
by no man; but, like the great laws
OF Nature, does the work of God in
silence and looks to a future and
better world for its reward.

On the great lakes, the fisheries
business Is more extensive than a
great many Of those who ought to be
familiar with the facts have dreamed.
About 100000 pounds of fish are
taken yearly, which are valued at
Hrst hands at So, 500, 900. The bust
ness employs !, 600 persons, and neces-
sltates the use OF 800, 900 worth of
boats and 81, $50, 900 worth Of other
apparatus. The area Of the lake sys-
tenn Is figured at 81, 900 square miles.
from which estimate it appears that
the product is about two pounds Of
Dish per acre per annum. This is
certainly moderate enough even for 4
nsh story, and there can be no doubt
that persistent following Of the
methods which have been employed
1or increasing the supply OF food Ash
e Will result before another census
~ an enormous increase.

SANTIAGO, CHILE, Jan. 2S, VIA CALVES
ToN.-Thcre is much quieter feeling
here than was evident yesterday md
during the past few days. The Chilean
officials, however, continue to express
surprise at the ullimatum forwarded
from President Harrison.
The Associated Press correspondent
in this city to-day had an interview
with ono OF the most prominent officials
OF the Chilean foreign office. He
said that Mr.. Blaine had all
along given Alontt to understand that
settlement OF tho serious controversy
betwcen tho two Republicans was being
reached and that OIr. Blaine, month
ago, had proposed q submission to
arbitration OF tho assault upon the lib
orty men. "a.
1t is asserted hero that Minister Esan
informed the Chilean government q
week ago that the questions Mt issue
were being settled. Mr.. Egan has dc.
clared that ho said nothing OF the kind.
On tho night OF the reception OF the
ullimatum from tho President oi the
United States cablegram was received
hero from Minister Mogtt, advising tho
Chilean government to stand iirm as
all was favorable in Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. 2S.-At 1910
Mr.. Pruden, one OF the Presidents sec
retaries, appeared at the bar OF the sen
ate and delivered message from the
President transmitting the additional
correspondence in the Chilean matter.
The Vice President opened the message
and Immediately laid it before the
senate. 1t was read by Mr.. johnson,
the chief clerk, the senators ON both
sides OF the chamber paving the closest
attention to it and indicating in various
ways their thorough satisfaction at its
contents, particularly at the sentence in
which the President expressed the
opinion that there is 4 good prospect
that the difficulties with Chile can now
be adjusted OIL terms favorable to this
government by the usual methods and
without any special powers from Con-
gress.
The feeling dissatisfaction was express
ed in words by Mr.. Sherman, who, in
moving the reference OF the message
and accompanying documents to the
committee on foreign relations, said
that he supposed that every nember of
the senate heartily joined in congra-
tulation at the hopeful and honorable
settlement honorable to both sides) 10
tho unpleasant incident. The reading
was completed at half past twelve and
then Mr.. Shcrman's motion was agreed
to and the message and accompanying
documents were referred to the commit
tee on foreign relations.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 2S.--Alice
Mitchell and Lille johnson spent last
night together in their room at tho jail.
This morning a reporter learned from
gool authority what passed between
her and her counsel. On other sub
iects she seemed to be perfectly rational
and did not realize tho enormity Of the
decd.
III killed Frcda," said she, "bccause I
loved her aud she refused to marry me-"
II asked her to marry me three times
and at last she consented. We were
going to marry and go to st. Louis"
"What did you intend to do in st.
LOUISE" asked one Of her attorneys.
"Oh, don't know. But when Frcda
promised to marry mo, l was SO happy.
/ sent her an engagement ring and she
wore it q time, butwhen it was returned
to inc I was miserable. I could not
bear to be separated from her and re-
solved to kill her. 1 would rather she
were dead than away from me-"
( The letters that she wrote to Freda
aro full OF the most endearing terms and
go to show that the girl eagerly looked
forward to the timo when she could
mako Freda her wife.
Strange to say from what can be
learned, Freda hcrself seemed to be in
.fatuated with Alice and willingly as
scnted to the proposed marriage.
The time had beon fixed and the
affair was to have been in tho nature OF
an eiopement.
The grand jury will investigate the
case tomorrow.

pleased to favor mo I have informed
you that Immediately aftor tho occur.
rence Of tho events Of October 10 at
Valparaiso, which my government
most sincerely deplored, tho judicial
authorities initiated tho investigation
necessary to throw light upon the
facts and to detect and punish the
guilty parties.
From tho antecedent the government
OF Chile was able to collect at tho worry
outset 1t appeared that tho disaster OF
October 10 began bya quarrel among
drunken sailors, which assumed con-
siderable proportions, owing TO tho con-
dition OF tho locality in which 1t origi-
mated, and that tho police performed
their duty by ro.cstablishing tranquil
lty and placing the persons who seemed
to have been concerned in tho disorder
at the disposal OF tho court.
The government OF Chile has no data
authorizing 1t to think that tho quar-
rel was duo to any dislike OF the uni
form Of the United States or that tho
police failed TO perform their duty. On
the contrary, 1t is well-demonstrated
fact that sailors get intoxicated when
they go ashore attor having been on
board of their vessel for long time.
This is also quito natural. Tho 'intoxi-
cation OF seamen and the disorders to
which it gives rise, although they may,
assume serious proportions and occa-
sion very lamentable ,oficnsos, Us was
unfortunately the case at Valparaiso on
the 10th OF October, cannot constitute
an insult to tho nation in whose service
are tho men who havo taken part in the
disorder, although they certainly do not
justify the oIense committed during
the display. 1
