Nashvillv., Aug. 31 Tho extra ses sion of the general assembly of len nessee convened at noon today. Tho chief'business to coma before the body is the. settliug of the questions "that have .grown out of the recont trouble be tween the miners and convicts at Brice- ville, referring to tho abolition of the lease system and to the rebuilding and enlarging of the state prison. The lease system, as now operated, yields the state $100,000 per annum, and if it is abol ished the extra rate of tho state must bo increased. There is a strong sentiment among the members of the assembly against a change. The military lawij are to bo changed so as to give the ex ecutive more power in emergencies liko that at Briccville. The body will be tu session twenty days, but it is not thought the work before it can be at tended to in that time. If not, an ex traordinary session will be called. A committee representing the miners o-f tho state will be in constant attendance during the session, their object being the abrogation of the lease system or the passage of such laws as will keep convicts from being sub-leased to any mining company that will pay for then services.

The United States weather bureau is in receipt of reports from thirty-one South Dakota and fifteen North Dakota counties which show frost to have done les3 damage than expected. The warm days with some rain following tho frost greatly benefited corn and late flax. Corn that was damaged is cut for fodder. Over all South Dakota the damage will not exceed 10 per cent.

In North Dakota th9 harvest is progressing slowly, grain ripening only moderately, because of cool weather. A Caso of Cnrus. Muskego;.', Mich., Aug. 31.

Chicago, Aug. 31. It is generally understood that Jay Gould has virtually relinquished control of the Union Pa cific railway, and that a majority of tho stocks and bonds of tho company havo been placed in the hands of the bank mg firm of Drexel, Morgan fc Co. S. Pierpont Morgan, of that firm, is to be the leading spirit in the management of that road hereafter. Sidney Dillon, the president of the Union Pacific, it is said, is about to resign his position, and S. S. Spencer, f ornierly vice president of the Baltimore and Ohio, and at present in charge of Drexel, Morgan & Co.'s railway affairs, is mentioned as Mr. Dillon's successor. The management of the company is to undergo a complete cnang;;. toi binitn, lormerly receiver of the Kansas Pacific, who has just re signed the position of general manager oi tue uenver and iiio uranue. is to succeed S, H. H. Clark as general man ager of tho Union Pacific. I he general opinion is that Drexel. Morgan & Co. ncouired control of tho Union Pacific in the interest of the Van derbilts. Drexel, Morgan & Co. are tho financial agents of the Vanderbilts and are also in control of the Chicago. Mil waukee and St. Paul. This indicates that a close alliance between tho Union Pacific and the Chicago and Northwest ern and tho Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul roads is contemplated. The Vanderbilts havo lonsr been anxious to secure a foothold west of the Missouri river and gain an independent outlet for their sj'stem of roads to the Pacific coast. It is not likely thev will ba con tent with the Union Pacific, but that they mean to acquire other important railway systems west of tho Rocky mountains. A contest is said to be now in nrocrress between the Vanderbilt3. the Chicago. Burlington and Quincv. and the Atchi son, Topeka and Santa Fe for the pos ses3ion of the Denver and Rio Grande road, with tho prospect that the Van derbilts will carry oft" the plum. Tho resignation or President Moffat indi cates that tho Rio Grande is about to change hands. Mr. Copell, the man aging director of the company, is un derstood to be on intimate terms with the Vanderbilts and Drexel, Morgan & Co., and will do all in his power to as sist those parties in gaining control of the roaii. If the Vanderbilts succeed in crettinrr the Rio Grande, it is believed their next move will be to secure control of the Southern Pacific, and there are no seri ous obstacles in tho way of their getting it. With this road in their control thn Vanderbilts will be masters of the san ation and be able to dictate terms to all other lines, so far as through traffic be tween the Atlantic and Pacific is con cerned. It would simply bo carrying out Gould's and Huntington's original pian piacmg ail tne roau3 between Chicago and the Pacific coast nnder the control of a syndicate of bankers, with the only difference that instead of the three banking firms of Kidder, Peabody & Co., thn Baring Brothers, and Drexel, juorgan cc uo. being the controlling nnauciai nouses, tne latter hrm alone will take care of the finances, and the system under their control will include all tho Vanderbilt lines east of Chicago and St. Louis. Gould is probably interested in this scheme and has an understanding with the Vanderbilts and Drexel, Morgan & Co. whereby his railroad interests in the west will receive ample protection. 50 and 75c Dress 5 Goods at 25 Cents.i 50 and 75c Dress Goods at 25 Cents.

XEim.lSTIV VKTEKANS. The Pliimzner Failure. New York, Aug. 31. A settlement of the affairs of John t". Plnmmer has just been effected. His creditors and those of his brother, Albert F. Plummer, have fully discharged them from all claims, retaining, however, all their rights and claims against William S. Darling, of the firm. The settlement was due in part to tho belief held by the creditors that Mr. Darlinpr had disDOsed of the greater part of the aisets of the nrm and also m consequence of a con cession of certain claims aeaincrt- tha as signed estate by relatives of the Messrs Piummers, including tho dowry right of Mrs. John Plummer. A nnmber of creditors preferred a cash dividend and were paid 20 cents on the dollar. Somn of the largest creditors have taken title to J. i . Plummer s real estate as their share.

A aiovement to Secure the Pardon of Irish Prisoners. London, Aug. 31. An immense am nesty meeting was held in Phoenix Park, Dublin, with tho object of obtaining the pardon of Irish prisoners under sen tenco for alleged dynamiting and other crimes partly of a political character. The weather was fine and the sun shown from a cloudless sky. Multitudes at tended, from Dublin and other cities, bands of music preceding the arrival of each delegation. The meeting resolved that the time had arrived for the re lease of all political prisoners now un der penal sentences: that whatever error they had committed in seeking to achieve the right by wrongful methods had been sufficiently atoned for by their sufferings, and that the govern ment ought without further delay order their release. It was voted that copies of the resolutions should be sent to Lord Salisbury, Chief Secretary .Bal four, Lord Zetland and Home Secretary Matthews. Cold iVeek In Iowa. Des Moines, Aug. 31. The Iowa weather and crop service bulletin Bays last week was the coldest August week experienced in Iowa within twenty years, the average daily deficiency in temperature bcincr about 10 dez. Licrht frosts are reported in all districts in four days during the week, but only the tenuerest vegetation has been injured. The rainfall was light, but sufficient, and in some localities grain in shocks is damaged by humidity and cloudiness. The maturing of corn i3 retarded, and two or three weeks' favorable weather is needed to ripen the bulk of the crop. Abont 30 per cent, of the corn acreage is too far behind to mature nnder normal weaaher conditions in the coming month. Potatoes will show a very heavy crop, but a tendency to rot has been developed in some places. I'arneli. London, Aug. 31.

No direct allusion was made to Parnell and his O'Shea ex periences, but the congelation under stood what wa? meant and several prominent Parnelhtes severely de nounced the bishop after services were over for his evident attempt to belittle the Irish leader. The prospects are that Parnell will have an enthusiastic re ception in Tuam. Captain Kldd's Gold. Halifax, Nova Scotia, Aug. 31.

Senator Wash burn of Minnesota, just returned from Europo, has expressed himself quito freely in regard to the next presi dential campaign. The senator charac terizes the recent reports of Secretary Blaine's ill-heath as a conspiracy to kill Mr. Blaine noliticallr and nhTi11 Mr. Washburn details a conversation he had some time ago with Mr. Blaine, and said in that connection: "Ho has always taken good care of his health. He is stronger today than many men at the age of forty and I believe that fce will live for many years, and live ia health and strength." In reference to Mr. Blaine's candidacy for the presi dency in 1892, Mr. Washburn said: "I do not believe that he is a candidate, ia the ordinary sense of candidacy. I do believe that ha sees as plainly as every one else sees, that the people of this country are going to nominate him and elect him to the presidency in 1898. Nothing can provent this happy consum ation. Ho will be nominated by ac clamation. Harrison will not be a can didate before the convention when he sees the unanimous drift towards Blaine next Bpring. Ho will cordially support Blaine and do all that he can, in a man ner compatible with his position, to aid Blame's election. I know that the entire northwest is for Blaine and has been for years. I want to declare my self strongly for Blaine, for I believe that the people of my state will endorse my sentiment in that direction. The Insurgents la Possession. Washington, Aug. 31.
