tbo citizens who responded tn the
call of tbo sheriff and accompanied

there the posse loft the cars , intending to
march on und attack the miners on the

the train und engaged thu rebels from the

After leaving tbo train the posse marched
rapidly across tbo country nnd hills to the
top of Wuldcn's rldco. On this mountain

Many of them had had nothing to cat

couropo they waited to go to Fort Anderson.
About ! i o'clock this morning a terrible rain
Btonn cnmo up uliicb continued until noon.
When this rain boxun to fall the men were

nor the least shelter nnd they were largely
men of means and unused to bard labor.

Just at the break of day the oflkors called
their force into lino. The militiamen under
the command of Colonel Woolfotd took the
lead and the squad of business men
of ICnoxvillo formed the rear and
In the pouring rain they started to
Camp Anderson by a circultcus
route of two miles. This was done to nvold
"n lurge body of miners who occupied the llt
tlo narrow pass between them and the camp ,
nnd the force had n.urchod but a llttlo wajs
when they were halted by a disturbance In the
rear. Through the foe and ruin they suw
from twcnty-fivo to soventy-llvo minors.
These follows dodged behind trees nnd rocks
and opened lire on the ICnoxvillo citizens'

Kilted by Itiislinhaukors.
Their lire was returned and bet shot was
poured into the bnshwackers. In the flcht

After driving bark the mir.crs the force

Tbo forces were worn out , so they decided
to rotrcot back 11 vo miles to OlTutt
to tbo railroad and telegraph

itato forces If there were any. They reached
that point nbout noon. After n delay of some

NnYOHK , Aug. 20. The effect of ttio
railioad strike on the wheels of business
down town Is becoming moro marked every
dnv. 'Iho banks are beginning to bo affected
by reason of the practice of western shippers
to forward drafts on thoircastotn consignees
along with the bills of lading , which drafts
aio payable through Now York banks , and
nlso by virtue of the practice of lending
money to cons'gnccs ' ou buch shipments.
While the goods are tied up In Buffalo it Is
sometimes dllllcult for the Now York mer
chant to meet bis obligations. Tlio banks in
most cnsos have given tiinlr customers time
in meeting their notes and drafts. If tbo
strike Is prolonged much longer , the banns
will piobably cease to lend on such security ,
nnd will take some concerted action to meet
all the cases which have so far nrisen.
The falling ofT of grain shipments to tbo
extent of 10 or SO per cent over the roads in
volved in the strlko Is nlso having un in
creased offoot on Iho business of the ox-
cnnuiros , and by reason of tbo consequent
docicaso in exports. Is ulso threatening to

L.OSDOV , Aug. 20. INow York Herald
Cable Special to Tuc UEI : . | Now It Is the
turn of the conservatives to bo disappointed
and disgusted , and in Lord Salisbury's final
Itstol honors they find nmplo cause for com
plaint. An outgoing prime minister usually
rewards his chief followers on the rocognbod
principle of giving good things to hard work
ers or those who subscribed liberally to tbo
party funds , but on what principle Salisbury
acted now would puzzle the acutcst mind to
discover , unless it was set to work to make
ttio scramble for titles the subcl ] for sar
donic humor.
The persons selected for knighthood arc ,
wltu one or two exceptions , simply ludicrous
oDjccls. Ashmoud Hartlott heads the list.
Ho is a vulgar * platform spouter , a party
hack , looked upon with so much contempt In
the House of Commons that ho scarcely over
ventures to open his mouth la It , Ho stumps
the country Industriously , but nobody ever
heard that ho did any good. That ho should
bo now Sir Ellis Ashmoad Bartlett may ho
said to have spread a broad grin over the
face of all Enclaud.
Til en comes the well known furniture
maker , Dlundol Maple. It seems rather out
of place to glvo a tradesman a tltlo , but
Maple Is a good follow und a popular man , so
people merely shrug their shoulders.
Some I.lturarj IVllt-rx Kccognlznd.
Then comes Dr. Smith , editor of the
Quarterly llovlow and of well known dlo-
tlonauos His long service to literature and
politics fully deserved some worthier recog
nition than to bo stuffed Into this menagerie
of baronets.
Wo have among thorn Hdward Lawson of
the Daily Telegraph , who laboicd hard for
ttio unionists. Another Journalist who re
ceived the same honors is John .laffray , pro
prietor ot the lilrmingham Post , the most
powerful paper in the midland counties. Ho
is n man of wealth and high character and
a great friend and supporter of Chamber- ,
lain. Tlioie are the cream of the baronets.
Prof. Huxley becomes right honorable by
admission to the privy council. So does
Jesse Callings , the faithful satellite of Chatn-
borluln.
Liberal unionists figure pretty well in the
lists.
Salisbury has been sparing with pacracos.
Two representatives of very old English fam
ilies , Sir Ualnaid Knightly und Mr. Leigti of
LI lie , are cilled to the upper house , and half
a dozsQ other gentlemen agnlnst whom there
Is nothing to bo said.
Salisbury docs not carry out his practical
Jokes at the expense of the House of Lords.
The people who have been loft out and
who are going about vowing they received
distinct promises of baronotclos or other
honors nro loelon. So mo of thorn are well
known to me , and I mubtconfobs their claims
for reward were undeniably good. Salisbury
does not give serious attention to those mat
ters , but leaves the chief whip of tha party
to arrange them , except the pzeragos , and
tbo consequence Is the odd juciblo we see iu
this marvelous list.
Attaint In ( ilaiUtono'H Camp.
Gladstonlan murmurs are subsiding simply
because London is getting deserted. Politics
will for the time bo blank , but a largo con
tingent of radicals will nclthor forcot nor
'forgive Iho slights which have been cast
upon them. As for Laboucucro , ho is qulto
able to revoneo himself. Some Ulad tonmn
organs are trying 10 divert his wrath irom
Gladstone to thu queen , Insinuating that her
majesty declined absolutely to accept him as
a minister. The fact is Gladstone old not
submit bis name , und nnvor had the least in
tention of doing so. Labby being a thorn in
bis side. Gladstone would sooner have asked
the Father of Lies to Join bis ministry than
ttio editor of Truth.
Tboro will bu a hard fight for Morloy's
scat. Eyen should ho bo defeated in New
castle tip will have no occasion to regret It ,
for another und safer constituency will bo
placed at his disposal. Two or throe offers
have been made him already. The other
ministers uro in no danger. They can have
a comfortable six months with llttlo work
and high pay.
Gladstone is said to have a now homo rule
bill all teady. Merely is tha only other man
who knows all about it. The story goes that
It will satisfy all tbo Irish except the ex
treme Parnollltes , but It is too early in the
day to believe that.

LONDON , Au ? . 30. The phonomoual suc
cess ot the musto halls dtirlne the past season
is having an offoot upon London's theatrical
nnd musical caterers. During the coming
season qulto a Hood of now burlesque und
comto operas nro promised , In audition to
the conversion of the ll-jval English opera
honso Into n music hnll , the Hoyaltr Olympic
and probably the Saattojbury theater * in
tend to forsake the serious linos.
The now burlosquoi are too mimoroiH to
mention , but as the provincial demand Is
equal to that of London tlnro Is llttlo doubt
that nil of thorn will got a trial. Mr. Uoosrt
O. Buchanan , the playwright , will nmko his
first attempt at comic opera this season , besides -
sides tilling the commissions ho has In hand
for plays for Messrs. Ii. S. Wlllard and Boor-
bohm Ttoo.
It Is thought Mlai Doclmi Moore will bo

Mr. Lovlnson Intends to open the now Tra
falgar Square t boa tor early In Soptombor.
A throo-act comic opera by Howard Talbot
has Just boon finished. It is called "The
Mahattna" and Is said to bo brimful of
charming music. The libretto Is by Mr.
Edgar Leo und contains a very clover parody
on Ihcosophy , which cannot help being moro
amusing thun the real thing.
After a run of three weeks .Mr. Charles
Wyndham has withdrawn "Hasto to the
Wedding" from the boards of the Criterion
theater.
The next feature nt the Oaloty theater will
bo a burlesque serpentine quaarlllo danced
by four girls attired in vnri-colorod silks. Tno

llriiMV , Aug. 2J. The ompotor'a declara
tion at the banquet following tin rovlow of
thogurdo du corps on Thursday that the
covornmont did not Inland to adopt the pro-
posut'for two year's military sorvloj Instead
of ttiroo years , as at present , is not consid
ered In olllcial circle ) to involve the Im
mediate retirement of Chancellor von Ci-
pnvi , who supports , and In faot , brought for
ward the proposal. Ttio national liberal
press insist that the chancellor ought to and
must resign , In view of ttio omporor's de
cision , but it has bean an opotf secret that
before thu ampoior started on his recent
whaling voyugo in the North sea ho set his
face ngalnst the main proposals of ttio chan
cellor's military bill.
The estimates prnpared on the projected
two-years' service bill showed that it would
bo necessary to demand at the tha outset a
refoimlngof tno army expenditure amount
ing to 15J.OJJ.OO ) marks , with un a-inual ad
dition to tno war budget of 2J.OJJ.OJJ mirks.
The chancellor did not want inaudacltv In
making ollluial proposals to moot the in
creased expenditure ? . Taxes on beer , to
bacco nnd brandy , under which the whole
otnpiro would writhe , wjro suggested by the
chancellor , who was seemingly rcckloss of
how the Kochstag and the country would
receive thorn. Within his own circle the
emperor never coucu.iled the fact tnat ho
was radically opposed to any shortening of
the term of mllit.iry service.
Sldi-il ulth the llmpiiror.
Gcnoral Count von Wnldorseo held with
the emperor while most of the other high
military authorities sided with the chancel
lor In favor of short servhu. No'v that tbo
ompcror hai puollcly spoUon out , the po
litical opponents of the chancellor treat the
imperial delivery as something altogether
now and as altering thochaicallor's position.
Tno omporor's ' public rejection of the project
does not alter tils relations with the chancel
lor , taough it do33 coal the fata of his army
bill , The Kclchstag might have granted a
largo portion of the propoied additional war
budget if it was accompanied with shoilar
service , but it would never ucjodu to the
extraordinary grabs without it. No great
army bill will therefore bo placed baforo the
IWehsttisnt tno coming session.
Another result of the imperial declaration
will bo a regrouping of the parties. Prince
Bismarck , with u keen eve to the political
transformation , has adopted a tuo year's
principle. The national liberals , the
froissiunlgos and free conservatives , every
party , except the extreme coasorvatlvo , sup
ports tbo short term , whlcti will become ttio
main question on which tbu next elections
will turn. If tuo prosunt government sur
vives an earlier coilllctwlll occur on tha
question with tbo present relchstug.
Von Knlitnliurg Will rri'Hunt till ) Hill.
Chancellor You Caprivi , tnough n submis
sive servant of tbo emperor , will never face
tbo Koic stai : with un army bill asking
money without conceding a itioitor term of
service. Count Yon liiutcaborg , president of
the Prussian ministerial CDuncll and Pius-
sian mlnlstor of the Interior will da so , and
when the emperor dooms thu opportunity
fuvorablo some tlino next year Count Yon
Caprivi will bo replaced by a cUuucollor
'ready to carry out the imperial will. The
immediate consolation attenJiug the
abandonment of the army bill is the with
drawal of the threatened increase in luxa
tion.
