JESUP! GEORGIA,. MARCH 15.
TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE
Reconvened After a Month’s Keces®—Gov¬
ernor Transmit® Message.
The Tennessee state legislature
convened at Nashville Tuesday, after
a month’s recess, but none of the spe¬
cial committees were ready to report.
Governor McMillin sent in a message
concerning the fact that the appropri¬
ations of two years extend only to
March 19th, and after that date the
state can meet none of its obligations
until appropriations are made. It is
probable that the message will result
in the early passage of a bill making
appropriations for executive, judicial
and other expenses, and thus keep
the wheels of government in motion.
Both branches adopted a resolution
indorsing former Secretary of State
Allison for commissioner of the St.
Louis exposition.
Bills were introduced in the senate
providing for investing the state sink¬
ing fund at any time deemed expe¬
dient, and sending convicts of one and
two years to the workhouse instead of
the penitentiary.
The house tabled the bill to redis¬
trict Henderson county, so as to make
the election laws apply. The bill re¬
arranging the congressional districts
was introduced. There are few changes
of importance. In the first district
the only change is the exchange of
Hamblen for Sevier county. The sec¬
ond district receives Hamblen for
Sevier, and loses Morgan to the fourth.
The third district is unchanged. The
fourth is unchanged. The sixth loses
Humphreys and Houston to the sev¬
enth, which is otherwise unchanged.
The eighth is enlarged by Hardeman
county from the tenth, and the ninth
is unchanged.
FOOTES ARE LIBERATED.
Evidence Was Only Circumstantial and
Prosecution Asked Dismissal.
After four witnesses had been ex
nmined in the preliminary trial of the
Footes, Charles and Ar^iur, father and
son, at Bessemer, Ala., Monday the
prosecuting attorney arose and asked
that the defendants be disnifcsed,
which the judge did. As was antici¬
pated, all the evidence was circum

WILL IGNORE MINER*.
Coal Operator® lake Action That May
Result In a Great Strike.
A special from Scranton, Pa., says:
Many of the big coal concerns posted
notices Saturday saying the present
wage scale would be continued for a
year. All this is taken as an indica¬
tion that the big coal producing com¬
panies will not be represented at the
Hazleton conference of operators and
miners, and that they are a unit in fa¬
vor of letting present conditions re¬
main, thus averting the possibility of
a clash with the miners over the wage
question.
President John Mitchell, of the
United Mine Workers of America,
when shown the above dispatch at In¬
dianapolis, said :
‘‘This is a new move on the part of
the operators. The Lehigh company
is one of the largest in the district,
and the action means that all the op¬
erators will post similar notices. Tt
means, too, that they do not intend
to meet the United Mine Workers in
conference.”
‘‘Would a continuation of the ten
per cent advance of all the operators
be satisfactory to the miners ?”
“It would not.”
President Mitchell will leave at
once for the anthracite field, and will
establish headquarters at Hazleton.*’
TAN WYCK PRESIDENT.
Chosen By Southern Society of New York
To Succeed Dr. Polk.
A New York dispatch says: Judge

Polk as president of the Southern So¬
ciety of New York. In accepting the
position Judge Van Wyck in a brief
address expressed in cordial terms his
appreciation of the honor conferred
