miners come to terms.
T3EY ACCEPT GOV. BUCHANAN'S
COMPROMISE.
Convicts to be Allowed to Work Until
tte Legislature Posses on the Leas3
LiW _rhe Men Agree to See That
No Attack is Made on the Campany’s
Property.
Knoxville, Tenn., -July 23.—This morn
ing the miners’ committee left Knoxville
for Coal Creek with the decision of the gov
ernor that if the convicts were allowed to
be placed in the mines from which they
had been evicted by the miners, the militia
would be withdrawn and the legislature
would be convened in extra session for the
purpose of taking such action us
it saw fit on the convict lessa system.
Coal Creek was reachod at 11 o’olock this
morning, and when the miners’ committee
and Associated Press reporter stopped from
the train, 1,000 miners were assembled to
meet them. As soon as the committee
alighted from the train a loud voice was
heard to shout: “All miners to the big
grove.” The big grove was about a mils
from the station, and thither the large
crowd rapidly made its way.
AN IMPROVISED PLATFORM.
A rude platform was hastily constructed
and upon it was placed the committee and
Hon. J. C. J. Williams, who represented
the Knoxville arDitration committee. The
crowd was called to order by a miner, and
the two spokesmen of the committee related
the incidents of their trip to meat the gover
nor, how he received them and his decision.
They stated that the committee had re
ceived concessions and that in their
minds the miners ought to
grint some. This did not meet with any
thing like universal satislaction, but the
implioit confidence the miners have in their
leaders was shown by the unanimous vote
to accept the report of the committee on
resolutions, which had been appointed and
which had been in session while the speak
ers were being heard.
THE OFFER ACCEPTED.
The gist of the resolutions was that the
convicts should he returned to the mines,
the miners guaranteeing that they would
not be molested. The mlitia will be ordered
home, Sixty days will ba allowed to con
vene the legislature, during which time no
convict shall ba molested and no property
shall be destroyed, and the miners,
if necessary, will place guards
to see that the promises are
kept good. The miners’ committee
returned to Knoxvillo at 5:45 o’clock this
afternoon and began conference with the
governor and Knoxville committee. One
little incident noticed by the Associated
Press man will show the discipline in effect
and explain how well tha miners were in
the hands of their leaders. A burly, bluff
miner stepped up to one of the leaders and
said; “I want to change the number of
my gun, I’ve snapped. Immediately out
came a long list of names, opposite to each
of which was the number of the Winchester
rifle whioh had been assigned to the man
hearing that name.
A CONVICT KILLED.
At 2 o’clock this morning Anderson Har
ris, one of the Knoxville Iron Company’s
convicts, was killed by one of the guards,
J. A Duncan. Harris stealthily ap
proached George Tolbett, another of the
guards, and commenced to choke him. An
other r.egro followed. Harris was ordered
by Duncan to desist, but failed
to heed the warning, when Duncan fired.
The ball took effect under tho left
shoulder blade, and the convict died ton
minutes later. Great excitement prevailed
in the convict headquarters. Evidently it
had been agreed among the convicts to make
a break for liberty. When Harris as shot
a second prisoner turned and fled to his
comrades.
THE CONFERENCE.
The conference held to-night lasted throe
hours and ended without any visible result.
Gov. Buchanan declines to consider
the proposition for an armistice on
tha ground that it would be
implied compromise with a
v >:tion of the law that might at the end
ot mat time, in case the legislature declined
to comply with the demands of tho minors,
be renewed with impunity. The representa
tives of the miners disclaimed any threat
and proposed to accompany the proposition
Fith an explanation which would relieve it
from such a construction. The governor
firm, however, in his demands and de
tuned to yield.
BOUND TO RETURN THE CONVICTS.
There is no longer any doubt but that the
governor will return the convicts to tho
■tunes at Coal Creek and Briceviile. It is
a question of how it will be done. The
■tiaers present at the conference express
opinion that if they are returned

IMPORTED TIN PLATE WORKERS.
The Treaaury Department Will Allow
Them to Come In.
W ashington, July 23. —A stamping com
pany of St. Louis recently wrote to the
treasury department in regard to the im
portation of skilled labor for their tin plate
mills, and inquired if they must go through
any particular form to secure the importa
j tion of such laborers for such work. In
reply, Mr. Owen, superintendent of immi
-1 gration, wrote: “The contract labor law
was enacted to protect the wage-earners of
this country. They were suffering from
incursions of laborers who had entered into
Contract abroad and were imported here to
do work cheaper than was paid
to Ami ri an workmen. Such immi;rants
came with surety of employment and dis
plac vl citizens, who uiußt go idle or accept
the hire set by the newcomer. This im
ported contract labor, from dagos on the
railroad to glassbiowers in Pennsylvania,
came at reduced wages and lowered the en
tire American scale of wages. The now
immigration law recognized tae value of the
existing oontract labor law and made cer
tain valuable amendments to it. This de
partment will,labor earnestly to enforce
that law.
don’t shut out new industries.
“Congress did not intend by this action to
forbid new industries or to limit enterprise
to American skill, but expressly made
provision for tbe encouragement of new in
dustries and the importation of new skill.
The law plaiuly inter ds that skilled labor
may be imported into the United States to
do work in an industry not yet established,
provided skilled workman in that industry
cannot be found among our own people.
Tho discussion in connection with the recent
legislation disclosed tho fact that the
manufacture of tin plate is
not an established industry
in the United States, and that wo have but
few laborers skilled in its manufacture.
Skilled tin plate workers may therefore be
imported into the Unite! States at this
time under contracts made abroad to fill
employment. When the present conditions
change and the tin plate industry becomes
established or when there shall be found a
sufficient number of skilled tin plate work
ers to carry on its manufacture with a
reasonable degree of business facility, then
the importation of such workmen will be in
violation of the contract labor law.”
POLK TALKS Of HIS TOUR.
He Says the Alliance Has Not Split on
the Sub-treasury Bill.
Washington, July 23.—President Polk
of the farmers’ alliance has returned to
Washington from his southern tour, and
the Star this evening publishes a short in
terview with him. President Polk said tho
aliianco was not losing ground anywhere,
but was progressing beautifully. Ail
the talk about a split on aocount of
the sub-treasury idea, he said, was
absurd. What difference of opinion there
was, he said, was as to the form of the
measure and its details; there was no differ
ence of opinion as to the principle.and every
farmers' aliianceman had the same object
in view. President Polk said he had been
quoted incorrectly as saying that the
great issue was the tariff and
free coinage, and that with
these issues the alliances 'would all rally
around the sub-treasury bill. “Now,” said
he, “the issue is not the tariff, free coinage
of silver, nor tho sub-treasury bill. The is
sue is reform of our entire financial system.
Neither the issuance of more money nor the
collection of lass taxes will alone do the
people any good. The entire financial
system of the government must be changed
before anything else that may be done can
correct the existing evils.”
DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION.
The New Organization of the Patri
otic Order Completed.
Washington, July 23.— Action has been
completed under the new incorporation of
the new national society of the Daughters
of the Revolution. Mrs. Benjamin Harri

All tho work of the society,

ters, has been withdrawn from New York
and other points to Washington. Applica
tions are now being received from every
state and territory for membership. The
organization is already reported to be
tho most patriotic society in the country
which is made up of ladies. The
registrars general are Mrs, Eugenia
Washington aud Mrs. A. Howard Clarke.
Mrs. Gen. George H. Shields is recording
secretary general and Mrs. Ellen H. Wal
worth is corresponding secretary. The

zation is Mrs. If. V. Boynton, Mrs. A. Leo
Knott and Mrs. John W. Foster.
OHIO'S CAMPAIGN.
Speakers to be Imported Who Will
Insure Qomoerntic Success.
Columbus, 0., July 23.— The democratic
state executive committee has extended a
formal invitation to ex-President Cleveland
to deliver not less than six speeches in be
half of Gov. Campbell during the coming
campaign. Assurance was given that the
ex-President would accept such an invita
tion. Gov. Hill. Gen. Palmer, Govs. Peck
and Boies, with Senators Voorhees, Vance,
Vilas and other representative democrats

Ala.
Acquitted of Jury Bribing.
New Orleans, July 23.—Tha last of
jury bribery cases was called before Judge
Baker this morning, the case of j Emile Bag
anetto, accused of attempting to bribe tales
juror Dave Bonhage. Tho case was given

hour’s deliberation they returned a verdict
of not guilty.
CLASSIFICATION OF RICE.
The United States Appraisers Hearing
Arguments at New York.
New York, July 23.— An important
hearing took place to-day before the United
States general appraisers concerning the
classification of coarse and uncleaaed rice.
The verdicts of the New Orleans court and
that of the Southern district of New York
were entirely different, and the same case
in all respects is now before the appraisers
for final decision. Tho importing firms of
Dan Talmage Sons, Gustave Jahn & Cos.
aud others protest from an assessment made
by the collector at Now York, who abides
by the decisiou of the Now Orleans court.
The rice planters of Louisiana, Georgia and
South Carolina are also represented on the
other side. An army of experts and wit
nesses are being examined.
AMOVE TO CORNERWIIEAT
THE ALLIANCE LHADERS IN THE
SCHEME.
Circulars Being Bent All Over the
Country Advising Farmers to Hold
Back the Crops for a Month or Two.
Higher Prices Promised Them if
They Will Do So.
St. Paul, Minn. , July 23.—St. Paul has
been mode the headquarters of tbe national
movement by the united farmers’ alliances
of the country to corner the entire wheat
crop of the United States. At No. 317
Wabash street for several days a largo force
of employee has been engaged in sending
out circulars with a view of having not
only the alhaucemeu of the United States,
but all classes of farmers, keep back the
wheat crop until prices hare been advanced
to a high point. The alliance press bureau,
reform press bureau aud state press
bureau are working together endeavoring
to unite the farmers of tho United States in
a gigantic wheat trust. At tho head of the
movement, which has its headquarters in
St. Paul, is George M. Muller, editor of the
State and a prominent aliianceman. A
circular reciting the benefits of combina
tion and urging the formation of a trust
has been made public. The circular esti
mates the wheat crop of 1891 in the United
States at 500,000,000 bushels. The pro
moters of the trust believe that four-fifths
of this wheat can be held back by the farm
ers for from four to eight weeks and high
prices bo secured.
SENDING OUT THE CIRCULARS.
Washington, June 23.—H. W. Ayer,
secretary to President Poik of the farmers’
alliance, and manager in this city of the
"reform press bureau,” whioh is also known
as the “alliance press bureau,” said this
afternoon that the work of sending out cir
culars designed to show the farmers of the
country that it was to their advantage to
hold back tbe wheat crop, was actively pro
ceeding iu this oity, as well as in St. Paul,
Minn., which was chosen as one of the head
centers of operations because of its location
in the great wheat belt. Mr. Ayer
said that there have already been 400,000
of these circulars sent out from Washing
ton, and that during the next few days an
average of 100,000 a day will be mailed
until more than 1,000,000 circulars alto
gether ore issued. The circulars, he said,
will also be published in about 2,000 weekly
papers with whioh the bureau is connected.
He remarked that he could not say, of
course, that it is the circular which has
brought about tho result announced in tho
recent market reports, but that, as a mat
ter of fact, the actual movement of wheat
was 140 oars less per day thau has been esti
mated.
PREMATURELY PUBLISHED.
Mr. Ayers said that the information that
the issue of such a ciroular by the alliance
men was in contemplation became publio
prematurely about two weeks ago, when
the circular in course of preparation was
published in a newspaper. The final decis
ion to issue the circular had not at that
time been reached, and many leading
nllianceruen were unaware of it, but It had
since been finally determined npon. He ex
plained that the executive committee < t the
alliance had not aoted on this matter, and
that by the circular no order was given
to alliancemen to hold back their crop, this
being contrary to the meth ids of the alli
ance. What is done by this ciroular is to
give the fanners information us to the faots
in regard to the world’s wheat crop, with a
suggestion that wheat some weeks later
than the present time will bring a higher
price.

YELLOWS AMONG PEACHES
The Scourge Playing Havoc in the
Orchards of Maryland.
Chesterton, Md., July 23.— The fatal
“yellows” have made their appearance to
an alarming extent among the peach
orchards of Kent county aud are spreading,
very fast. In the vicinity of Millington
tho crop will be cut short 100,000
baskets by the blight. The disoase
is confined principally to the varie
ties of peaches known as Mount Rose,
Troths, Mixons and MoCollister’s late.
Galena is being ravaged by the soou-ge.
Home large orchards have been almost
Hwept out of existence by the scourge
and will be taken up this fall.
Acres of troes have been taken out and
many more will be uprooted and burned.
Some farmers have picked peaches to-day
that ought not to be picked bifore tho last
of August. The crop in Kent, it is esti
mated, will be out short over one-half by
prematuring. In Still Pond Neck, a great
peach center, the scourge is also doing
havoc, and only a small port of tbe yield
promised at the beginning of tho season will
be realized.

SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1891.
DUPE3 ON AN EXCURSION.
A Couple of Fakirs Start Them on a
$lO Round Trip to Chicago.
St. Louis, Mo., July 23.—A Southern I
Express car at the Union station is the
present abiding plaoe of an odd assortment
of white and ooloredl excursionists from
Birmingham, Ala., who are packed in the
car like sardines in a box. The excursion
ists originally numbered 400 people, who
paid $lO and $5 for travel to Chicago
and St. Louis and return. The “excursion”
was engineered by a white man named
Pickett and tho notorious “Doc r Kennedy,
a negro, who has achieved considerable re
nown in the south as an originator of finan
cial hoaxes. When the party got to West
Point, Miss., $6 additional was required to
oontiuuo the trip, as was $3 more per person
for those intending to go on to Chicago
when the party reaobed St. Louis.
THEIR EYES OPENED.
About this time the mental eyes of a
majority of tha dupes of Kennedy and his
partner were unsealed, and they refused to
pay anything further. A few, however,
paid the required $3, and they started for
Chicago. They must remain here until
thev can obtain sufficient money to return
home, and will make any locality pernicious
to the health of Kennedy and Pickett,
should they come across them. The excur
sionists were induced to leave home on the
understanding that work would be fur
nished them in Chicago and St. Louis at
large wages.
NEBRASKA'S GOVERNORSHIP.
A New Executive to be Fleeted De
spite the Court’s Ruling.
Chicago, 111., July 23.—A special from
Omaha, Neb., says: “The muddle growing
out of the unseating of Gov. Boyd in favor
of Gov. Thayer by the supreme eourtjis
being tbiokened by aotlve preparations of
tbe alliance and democratic parties to have
gubernatorial candidates in the field this
fall. Though tho supreme court has virtu
ally declared that Gov. Thayer holds over
until next year at the regular election, in
the face of tuis the aliianco
and democratic politicians are pre
paring for a fight with a view also
of electing a chief justice who will then
sustain their individual party views when
the case is again brought before the supreme
court. It was like the explosion of a bomb
in state politics when Chairman Watson of
the stale republican central committee an
nounced that his party would have a candi-
the field also. Mr. Wataou, after legal
consultation, says he is satisfied that it is
perfectly right to eleot a governor this
autumn.”
SPORTS FBBL SORF.
Anathemas Cast Upon the Straight

St. Paul, Minn., July 23.—The four
companies of the First regiment, Minnesota
National Guard, who were ordered out by
the governor yesterday to prevent the am
phitheater from being use 1 for a fight,
wore withdrawn at 6 o’clock this morning.
Wild rumors have filled the air that the
fight was to come off in South St. Paul, tbe
men to battle for the $3,000 which the club
forfeits to them. There is no foundation
for tho rumor. Crowds of disgusted meu
from all parts of the oountry are leaving on
to-day’s train and many aro the anathemas

hotel.
GALLED OUT AND SHOT.
A Man Mortally Wounded for Stop
ping a Fight at His House.
Roanoke, Va., July 23.—Peter Aliff, a
young white man about 24 years of age, was
wounded this afternoon by John Smith.
Bmith and hi 9 brother-in-law, Charles Hol
lins, quarreled in Aliff’s house over the fact
that Smith had whipped his wife, and were
ordered out of the house by Aliff, who
told them they could not fight
there. Smith aud Aliff then had some
difficulty and Smith left the house, threat
ening to kill Aliff. Ho procured a pistol,
and coming back to the house called Aliff
out and shot him through the abdomen, in
flicting a mortal wound. Smith was ar
rest ed and locked up in tbe city jail, as it
was feared by the authorities that he would
be lynohed if kept in the station house.
COTTON OIL TAX A BLES.
Chancellor Eaulsbury Issues a De
cree.
Wilmington, Del., July 23.—Chancel
lor Saulsbury issued a decree this afternoon
on the delinquent case, pending since
July 6, on whioh date a preliminary injunc
tion was issued restraining the
levy court of Newcastle oounty
from restoring to the voting
lists tho names of tho cotton oil taxables
who had been returned by the collectors as
delinquents. The purport of the decree
is to reaffirm this injunction and to in
validate 3,960 tax receipts, which were pur
chased t>y Postmaster Stewart and others
for $4,616 from ex-Collectora Meeker and
Dougherty, and for which the collectors
made no return to the county.
NEW BINDING MACHINES.
An Exhibition of Improved Patents at
Joliet.
Joliet, 111., July 23.—An important
exhibition of improved grain binding ma
chines was made yesterday on the farm of
Dr. Folks, near this place. Two machines,
which are radical improvements over tbe
old methods for harvesting, were shown.
One binder uses a straw baud and the other
binds with twine or prairie grass. Both
machines wore successfully operated for
several hours. It is expected that the use
of straw aud grass for binding material will
solve the problem of cheap twine for the
farmers.
KILLED BY A BLOW ON THE NECK.
A Fatal Fight in the Ring With Bare
Knuckles by Two Miners.
Monongahela City, Pa., July 23.
Harry Boyd and John Myford, miners at

in tho fourth round Myford was killed by a
blow on the dock. Boyd surrendered to the
authorities.
A Nebraska Town Flooded.
West Point, Neb., July 23,—The
greatest flood in the city’s history occurred
here yesterday, almost completely submerg
ing the business portion. Last year the city
council filled up * large creek that flowed
through West Point, but made no provision
for carrying away the water. Yesterday a
heavy rainstorm set in, and the old creek
turued into tbe main street.
LEO AND THE POWERS.
THE HOLY SE3 REFUSES TO BACK
AN AMERICAN REVIEW.
Articles Devoted to Religious Ques
tions in This Country Were to be
Its Leading Feature—The Vatican’s
Attitude Toward the Dretbund—The
Lose of the Peter’s Pence.
Rome, July 23. —It is stated on high au
thority that the holy see will not give its
consent to the projected American review,
which, it was announced, was shortly to
appear at Roms under tho title
of the Homan Messenger. The
journal was to make a special
feature of the articles solely devoted to the
various religious quostioiis in the United
States. Tee promoters of the enterprise
are undaunted, however, and continue their
labors with every belief iu their ultimate
success.
THE VATICAN AND THE IIREIBUND.
The Vatican declares that the reports pub
lished iu the European press to the effeot
that the protocol of tho uew triple aliianco
would conthn a clause concerning the next
conclave of cardinals is incorrect. The truth
is as follows: At the beginning of last
winter Signor Crispi sounded the allied
cabinets as to their probable
attitude at the next conclave. Premier
Crispi pretended that the sacred college was
hostile to the triple alliance, aud that iu tho
event of a vacancy it would nominate a
pope whose election would constitute a di
rect protest against the triple alliance. At
tbe same time he organized a brisk cam
paign In official journals against
the Vatican, trying to demonstrate
tnat it was the policy of Italy to endeavor
to control the next conolave. The fall of
Premier Crispi upset his plans, and the
Marquis di Rudini, his successor, did not
show himself so persuaded as to the ulti
mate success of tho project. Accordingly,
when Mgr. Galimberti, tho pope’s nuncio
at Vienna, got wind of the scheme, he did
not encounter much difficulty in preventing
the introduction of the proposed clause in
the new treaty.
MISSION OF THE DUKE OF NORFOLK.
The declaration made iu the British par
liament by Lord Salisbury on the subject
of tbe mission of the Duke of Norfolk to the
Vatican, showing that England before open
ing negotiations with the pope informed
Signor Crispi of her intention to do so, have
produced a most unfavorable impression
in high ecclesiastical circles. It is claimed
that the Vatican should be absolutely
free in her relations with the
powers, and if the principle that all
relations between foreign powers and the
Vatican must first be submitted to tho
Italiau government were to be admitted it
would place these relations on a false basis.
The declarations of Lord Salisbury con
firmed the ideas of Cardinal Manning, who,
in his letter to the pope
always contended that official
diplomatic relations with England
were impossible, or at least dangerous.
Cardinal Manning. In his letters, supported
tho views of Cardinal Gibbons and Arch
bishop Ireland, holding that the bishops
were the natural representatives of the peo
ple and of the holy see. These
democratic ide-s continue to make
much progress at the Vatican.
It is asserted that the secretary of state
made known to the presidents of the various
Catholic national congresses that tbe

cupy themselves with dynasties.
I'KTER’S pence.
The administration of St. Peter’s peuoe is
continuing its inquiry into the regimo of
Mgr. Foicni. The inquiry is held iu secret.
The results, however, will soon be made
known. The Vatican nas been requested to
publish a full official statement of the posi
tion of the funds iu order to tranquilizo
Catholic opinion, which is at present much
agitated over the recent revelations. It is
reported that Mgr. Folchi wifi shortly pub
lish a pamphlet justifying his position in
respect to the funds. At the Vatican it is
thought to be exceekingly improbable that
Mgr. Folchi will oommit such an error of
judgment.
Fresh trouble has arisen between tho
pope and the Italian government. Tho
government has closed several parish
churches, which, having bad their sources
of revenue confiscated, found themselves no
longer able to provide for the expenses of
public worship. It is emocted that the
holy see will shortly publish a protest
against this action.

IMMIGRATION OF JEWS.
AN APPEAL IBSUSD BY THE JEW-.
I3H ALLIANCE.
Russia's Fugitives a Desirable Addi*
tlon If They Can Be Quickly Scat*
tered Over the Country—Each New-
Comer Adda Something to tha
Wealth of the Community.
Philadelphia, July 23.— A lengthy ap
peal with regard to Russian Jewish immi
gration was to-day issued by tho Jewish
Alliance of America, accompanied with a
plan of action. The appeal says:
It may b stated beyond question that if tha
annual iutlux of many thousands of immigrant,
could, by seme effective system, be quickly dis
tributed through the vast interior, they would
prove a desirable acquisition to the respective
localities In which they settle, and also speedily 1
better their own condition. A careful aualysi.
of the whole subject of immigration, as eluoid.
a tod by both American and European econo
mists, has shown that each new-come*
positively adds a more or less definite
amount to the wealth of the goneral commun
ity. and hence no Intelligent person can regard
the coming of these Immigrant* otherwise thaia
with satisfaction. Not merely money but brain
and muscle are essential for the building up off
a community, and although few of the victim*
of Russia’s monstrous tyranny succeed in pass
ing her frontier without being robbed of prac
tically all their property, yet their stout heart*
aud willing hauds are sufficient capita*
to warrant them a welcome to this oountry.
They are prepared to do all kinds of work, and
experience, wherever they have been estab
lished, proves that they make good factory
hands, tailors, seamstresses, carpenters, etc.
lUPEUIMENTa TO ASSIMILATION.
It Is, however, manifest that the assimilation
of these immigrants is retarded through tlieic
concoutration in the lamer communities, and
particularly in seaboard cities If some out led
into the more thinly settled interior district,
could lie opened, if some system could bo devised 1
by which numerous places throughout th.
country, particularly in the southern and west
ern states, which an- soliciting new settlers
could hove their demands supplied from th
overcrowded cities, then a great desideratum,
would be a complished and a most beneficent!
result lie obtained. The material condition of that
newcomers would be benefited, their introductioS
into varied brandies of industry would be simplM
fled their education in the rights and duttes of]
American citizenship would lie facilitoted. am*
their complete assimilation into our com
monalty would follow as a matter of course
To compass such ends for the refugees fronsi
Russian barbarism, the Jewish alliance oS
America lias been organized, and tho move
ment has now become sufficiently Extended to
permit practical work iu tins direction being
undertaken. "
PURPOSE OF THE ALLIANCE.
The immediate purpose of the Jewish all lane,
is the settlement of small Jowista communities
through tho country, and united efforts by Jew.
in all quarters of the union are solicited. Pe-<
cunlary help will come from members of the;

worthy of a civilized nation, and for tbis
reason we have organized a party of ttio
