tom of the Matter.

Cripple Creek, Col, Sept. 14.-Former
Atty'y-Gen. Eugene Engley appeared
before Judge w. P. Leeds, in the dis
trict court, Monday, and petitioned for
writs of habeas corpus for Chas. Camp
bell, Chas. H. Mckinney, Sherman
Parker and James Lefferty, strike lead
ers who were arrested by the military.
last week, and have been held as pris-
oners in the guard house, though no
charges have been made against them.
Although martial law has not been de-
clared, and under the state laws can
not be inaugurated, the military Off
GERS have taken absolute control of the
district and have utterly ignored the
civil authorities. Brig.-Gen. John
Chase notified Mr.. Engley that no civil
process for the prisoners whom he rep
resents will be recognized by the mill
tary. Furthermore, Adjt.-Gen. Bell has
intimated that all leaders of the West
ern Federation OF Miners in the dis
trict will be arrested and held as pris-
oners until the strike is broken.
81 shall cause the arrest of Gen. Bell,
Gen. Chase and certain members of the
Mine Owners association" said Mr..
Engley, and shall prosecute them on
charge of criminal conspiracy. l shall
also bring civil suit against them for
damages for false Imprisonment"

Attacks Its constitutionaIity.

One of the hardest fights in the
last legislature was over the bill
making school districts in the va
rious counties co-extensive with the
civil districts. The bill was passed,
however, and under its operations a
lot of school directors were legislated
out of office. Last week the old di-
rectors in the Twenty-frst and
Twenty-sixth school districts of Da-
wilson county filed a bill in the
Chancery Court attacking the con-
stitutionality of the law, and seek
ing to enjoin the newly elected d.
rectors from interfering with the
management of the schools in those
districts. They claim the law is
class legislation. The case will go
up to the Supreme Court, and is of
interest to every county in the
State.

London, Sept. 14.-It is learned that
the rumors of the approaching resig-
nation of the chancellor of the exche-
quer are we'll founded. He will attend
the special cabinet meeting with the
determination of resigning. Other
minor designations are likely to occur
but Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
and Premier Balfour are reported to
be standing together and intend keep
ing up the cabinet by filling the vacan-
cies.
From all parts of the country and
the continent British cabinet ministers
came to London Monday to attend the
cabinet, which was regarded as mark
ing the most important phase IN the
recent political history of the United
Kingdom. The Times voiced public
sentiment in saying that it was a
great occasion" more important even
than all the meetings when home rule
was uppermost, for the main issue is
the unity of the empire"
Not since the fateful day when the
cabinet framed an answer to President
Krugers ultimatum had such crowds
gathered around Downing street. From
early morning, loiterers, assembled
here in the hope of catching a glimpse
of the political leaders. But when 1t
was announced that the cabinet would
not meet until three o'clock, the spec
tators dwindled away.
Mr.. BalfOur, who arrived in London
from Scotland, Sunday evening, went
to Downing street early. There a num-
Der of treasury officials were closeted
all the morning with Mr.. Balfour's sec
retaries, going over the points on
which the cabinet is supposed to base
its opinion for more free trade. Mr..
Chamberlain, who was the central fig
ure in the days proceedings, left Birm-
ingham, accompanied by his wife.
A large crowd babe them farewell
at the railway station. On their ar
rival here Mrs. Chamberlain went to
their London home, and Mr.. Chamber
lain proceeded to the colonial office.
Upon the arrival of Mr.. Chamberlain
at Downing street he was loudly boot
ed. A crowd of laborers employed near
by joined in TINS unusual demOnstra-
ton against the colonial secretary. Mr..
Chamberlain, who was accompanied by
Gerelad BalfOur, president of the board
of trade, showed his customary indif-
ference to this reception. The police
eventually were obliged to form double
lines from Mr. BalfOur's house to the
foreign Office, so as TO enable the cab
met members to enter the latter place.

Section Director Bate of the
Weather Bureau reports the general
condition of crops in Tennessee for
last week to be as follows:
High temperature with drouth
conditions prevailed during the
week with generally damaging effect
on unmatured crops, except, per
haps, those on lowlands which have
the benefit of more moisture Up
land crops, particularly late corn
and cotton, are being rapidly low
cred in percentage of condition on
account of the drouth; intensified by
the abnormal heat, the former crop
is being materially shortened from
the favorable prospects of three
weeks ago. Cotton is not maturing
satisfactorily, being in many places
affected by rust, premature opening
and shedding of forms. Other crops
are also suffering from heat and
Grouth.
