MORE TROUBLE IN TENNESSEE.
The Miners Becoming More Aggressive
and the Situation Serious.

The Miners Becoming More Aggressive
and the Situation Serious.
NASHVILLE, Jan. 2O.-Nearly 1000
miners congregated on the hillsides
about the Coal Creek stockade yester-
day morning and kept up constant
firing Of small arms, and went
through a dance around the two
small block houses which contain 200
State troops. The miners came so
close to the pickets that an exchange
Of shots followed. None of the SOL
diers was hit, and it is thought that
the miners escaped without injury.
About two weeks ago soldier acci-
dentally shot and killed Il convict,
and since then the miners have be-
come more aggressive. Further trou-
bic is expected. They swear that
when they get ready they will eX-
terminate the civil guard, State
troops, and the convicts, and
forever end convict labor in tho
mountains of East Tennessee. The
officer in charge has asked for
reenforcements, and one company of
infantry has been sent out from Knox
vile. The miners say that 10 more
soldiers nor convicts shall enter the
valley. The soldiers are well fortified,
yet the miners outnumber them 100 to
one. The Kentucky miners and those
in and near Jellico are ready to join
their Tennessee friends at a moments

Great IlistOric Famines,

Famines were formerly much moro
common than during the last half CEN
tury, and many notable calamities of this
nature are mentioned by historians. Not
including the seven years famine in
Egypt mentioned in the Old Testament,
the first great famine noted in history
was in Italy, b. c. 436. Thousands of
persons, driven mad by want, threw
themselves into the sea and rivers to es-
cape from further suffering In A. D. 42
there was great famine in Egypt, and
another in Rome and the vicinity in A. u.
cj?. In 272 famine prevailed in the Brit
ish Islands, and people ate grass. roots,
and the bark Of trees: thousands died in
Scotland from privaton in A. ID. 306, and
over Al, 900 perished in Britain sour years
later In A. d. 450 famine prevailed all
over the South of Europe, raging worst
in Italy, where parents ate their children,
and in 739 England, Scotland, and Wales
were again ravaged, also in s23, when
thousands starved, and in 954, when the
crops failed for four successive years. In
1916 an awful famine ragged throughout
all Europe, and again from 1893 to 1195,
when crop failures caused terrible suffer
ing. In England and France the people
ate the flesh of dogs and cats, and many
cases of cannabalism We're recorded.
There were famines in England in 1851,
1915, 1886, 134S, and 1865, and a general
distress prevailed also in both England
and France in 1893. 174s, 1899, and 1795.
The great Irish famines of 1914, 1916, 1899,
1881, and 1916 were in consequence of the
failure Of the potato crop, and, no doubt,
in each thousands of people starved to
death.
European calamities of this kind, how
over, dwindle into insignificance when
compared with the colossal dimensions
of famine in the crowded countries of
Asia. In 1887 over 500, 900 human beings
starved to death in northwest India, and
in 1860 another famine carried off 500 ,000
In 1865, 100000 people were supposed
to have starved in Bengal and Orissa. and
in 1868 the death roll from famine in
Rajpootana exceeded / 800, 900. Even as
late rs 1877 about 500,0G pershed in
Bombay, Madras, and Mysore. The
worst calamity of this kind ever re-
corded took place in the years 1877 and
1878, in China, Complete crop failure
took place in all the northern provinces,
and the number of those who persisted
from want of food was estimated at
$500, 900. AS the internal communica-
tons of country are improved the dan
ger Of wholesale starvation is much less
cned. 1t is not likely that, save in
Russia, Persia, and China, there will
again be such dreadful loss OF life rs
has been experienced FROM the failure
OF the crops.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. The war feel

OF preparation for hostility by the
navy and war departments, or that
did not produce some added express

Valparaiso massacre.
All are anxiously awaiting the pres
idents message.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, Jan. 19-Private
advices from authentic sources in
Chilli, state that among the common
people of that country, the talk is that
war will result. The Chilians have
no idea that their government will
back down or retract any word or act
they consider themselves strong and
expect additional strength from Eng
land.
They agree that the United States
is able to wipe their vessels off the
face Of the ocean, but they doubt not
their ability to secure recognition and
aid from England or to secure some
of England's war ships by purchase.
Ii the informant is correct, repre-
sentatives Of the Chilian Government
are now in England working on both
propositions. According to orders re-
ceived to-day the cruiser Charleston
will sail on Tuesday or Wednesday
for San Francisco. She is simply
waiting the arrival Of it's new pay

WHITE CAPS IN OHIO.
A Woman Backed in Ice Cold Water
ana Likely TO Die.


ana Likely 10 Die.
SPRINGFIELD, o., Jan. 1S.-White Caps
have been getting in their work near
here, and as result the woman in
the case is lying at the point Of death.
She is Miss Mary Shelbrook, and
was charged with living illegally with
Charles Peterson.
Notice was given them to leave the
neighborhood Of st. Johns, Darke
county, within twenty-four hours or
suffer the consequences. They did not
heed the notice, and the visitors came
promptly. The couple, who lived in
great destitution, were taken from
their hovel to the nearest creek.
The ice was cut and the two
were rapidly ducked. The mob
then burned their hut and all
their belongings. The woman had
been Ill for several weeks, and, it is
believed, cannot live. She has been
taken in and is being cared for by
Farmer Henley. Special officers are
making an examination. 1t Is likely
dozen farmers will be arrested soon.

RIDlCUlED BY GOV. WlNANS.
IL Wouldn't be Worth the 100000, 900
IL Would Cost 20 Nhip Chilli

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 20.-Gov. Wi
mans of Michigan in speaking OF the
prospect of war with Chill says:
There can be no good excuse for
a war with Chilli, That little God
forsaken country is beneath our
notice. If it was England now. 1
shouldn't mind so much, but differ
ences with such q country should be
readily settled by arbitration. 1t would
be much the cheapest and tho best
way. What is the use OF having Pan
American Congresses with these little
South American countries as partici-
pants and then, in the very first furry,
resort to the old barbaric powder and
lead arguments? 1t isn't consistent.
We should demand a full indemnity
for all that we may have suffered from
the Chilians, but believe in demand
ing it otherwise than at the cannon's
mouth.
"Do you know" he said, THAT a
war with Chill would cost this coun-
try $500, 900, 900, with the chances
largely In access OF that figure? Why.
it costs 81, 500 every time you fire off
some OF those new-fangled guns on
the new war ships. and all for what?
All for licking little ne-horse coun.
try, in which no glory could possibly
be obtained. The army and navy
are, OF course, anxious for a
war. They have been out Of job SO
long that they very naturally feel as

IT is PLAIN ENOUGH.
People Should Take the Trouble to
Read the Ballot Law.
When and How the Nominations OF
Candidates for the Legislature
Should BE Certified.

A correspondent OF the RECORD
UNION contributes the following criti-
cism of an article recently published in
a San francisco paper:
EDS. RECORD-UNIoN I notice in the
San francisco Ctroa5cie of the 18th an
article which must have been penned by
some one who had not read the new cleo
ton law with much care. That paper, in
the article alluded to, takes the ground
that some doubt exists whether nominees
for the Senate and Assembly must have
under the law, their nominations certi-
lied to the Secretary of State or the
County Clerks, and suggests that the At
tOrney-General be called in to render a
decision in the case.
AS the Attorney is ready
enough with his opinions the suggestion
may be entirely gratuitous, and at any
rate an opinion from the legal adviser of
the State is not needed in the case, eX-
cept perhaps, to clear the brain of the
writer of the aforesaid article.
Section llS9 of the election laws tells
plainly what nominations shall be certi-
fed to the Secretary Of state. 1t means
this year only Presidential Electors and
congressman.
The latter part of the same section saws
as plainly as needful that all other nom
inatious shall be certified to the County
Clerks, and the language shows conclu-
sively that provision was intended to be
made for joint Senatorial and Assembly
districts.
Under the law the Secretary of State
must certify to the County Clerks the
nominations certified to him. It would
seem good way to so certify, and fur
nish an exact and uniform guide to the
County Clerks in putting the Presidential
Electors and Congressman on the ballots.
as we'll as the constitutional amendments
and other propositions to be voted on by
the people, TOR the Secretary Of State to
furnish to the County Clerks sample bal
lots, showing precisely the names and all
propositions he certifies to in the order
and style in which they should be pre-
scented. This, / understand, is what the
Secretary OF State proposes to do.
But 1t must be obvious that if the nomi-
nations. Of Senators and Assemblymen
are certified to by him, it will require
about a hundred changes in the sample
ballot to suit the different Senate and
Assembly districts
An Intelligent reading of the section
quoted will show that but eight changes
in the sample ballot would be required.
one for each Congressional District and
one to fit the case of supplying a Con-
gresham to ill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mckenna.

The divorce suit of Mrs. Emma Treich-
