Knoxville, May 9.-A special from Jelli- co. Tenn. says:
 An agreement has been entered into between the Southern and Louisville and Nashville railroads whereby the territory In the c1enr Fork Valley Is about equal ly divided and neither will enter with it's construction crews, that portion as- signed to the other without first giving the other road 24 hours notice. However the engineers Of 10th roads may proceed unmolestd in tue work of surveying routes in the territory of the other. This agroen ent was reached by w. B. Cren- shaw and Claude Coffee, engineers of the Southern Railway and Charles Pitts and MT. Justus, engineers for the Louisville and Nashville.
 This morning Judge H. B. Lindsay, act ing for the Knoxville, Lafollette and Jellico (the Louisville and Nashville) served formal notice on J. Templeton of Middlesboro, attorney for the American Association, limited, that the Lafollette road would on Monday, June 9, insti- tute condemnation proceedings in the Chancery Court of Campbell county, Tenn, as to the property of the American over which the Louisville and Nash vile desires a right of way.

half mile of very valuable right o9 way.
 Another special train of 100 laboreTs and equipment arrived here this morning and left at once for Clear Fork valley to augment the Louisville and NashVllle forces there. The train of 300 men, wnlcn left yesterday, reached the valley this morning. The Southern Railway wagon train from Middlesboro Is expected 10 reach the head Of the valley this aIter- noon tonight or tom orrow.
 At midnight tonight the opposing forces of the Louisville and Nashville and Sonth- ern railroads are asleep in camps Just half a mile from each other in the Clear Fork valley.
 Great strides have been made today by each side. The Southern has only 1bO men engaged at this point, while the Louisville and Nashville has over 4OO with Special Agent Harlan In command While 1t is hoped that no trouble will oc- cur when the two armies come into close contact, yet 1t is feared that some thing will preclpitate bloodshed. To pre- vent 1t if possible a tacit agreement be- tween the chiefs of both parties has been reached wherein each pledges the other that no construction crew will be placed in direct opposition to that of the other until twenty-four hours notice has been given. This may preserve peace among individuals, but does not change the fight of the two systems for the coal fields. It is the development promised for tomorrow toward which all attention is turned.

RICHARDSON AND
 WHITE HAVE TILT
NEGRO EXcoNGREssMAN FROM NORTH CAROLINA COMPLAINS OF HIS PEOPLE HAVING TO RIDE IN JIM CROW CARS

Washington, May 9.-iSpecial.)- .)-Repre- sentative Richardson of Alabama had tilt in the inter- state and foreign com- mission this morning with ex-Congress- man White, the negro Republican leader of North Carolina.
 White, with a number of other negroes appeared before the committee to induce 1t to frame legislation calculated to do away with separate coach laws. He com plained bitterly of the conditions in the far south which prevented the negro from riding in the same car with the white man. MT. Richardson called his attention to the fact that the law was not confined to the far south, but was also operative across the river in Virginia, and the Supreme Court of the United States had several times sustained the validity of state constitutions containing separate coach law provisions. The question was not therefore one for the committee to consider.
