WKST POINT , Neb , , July 21. [ Special to
TIIK Ilii.1 : The greatest Hood In this city's
history occurred hero this morning , almost
completely submersing the business tmrt of
the city. Last year the city council filled up
n largo creek that ( lowed through West
Point and that drained about two hundred
acres , but made no provision for carrying
away the water.
This morning nt B o'clock a heavy rain
storm sot in and the streets immediately
became veritable rivorj. Tlio entire main
street was a raging torrent , down which the
current of tbo old crook turned. Tlio cellars
of many residences and business houses nro
Jllled with water.
Tbo heaviest looscrs are B. Goldsmith ,
flUoreii , Kloino and .Icrman , F. Manning ,
JlfcCph Tummonil. Frederick Tiotjo , Hoff
man & Lox , F. Mohl , and the Republican
office.
The latter suffered a heavy loss by the
basement being filled even with the side
walk with water , completely ruining a line
library of priceless value. The main stioot
now contains about two feet of sand. This
disaster lias nearly disheartened West
Point's citizens.

.i.r , Tonn..luly21. , A special from
Coal Creek to the American savsj The
meeting of miners which was called for noon
yesterday has adjourned. When the men
assembled thcro were a few hotheads who
began to talk about lire , but they were out
siders und not minors. The miuer.s' leaders
took possession of the meeting and would not
allow such action. There were speeches by n
number of leaders , nil of n conservative tone ,
and advising against any sort of action in
violation of the law. The men said they
simply wanted the convicts sent away , and
nothing more or less. Finally n resolution
was unanimously passed to appoint a com
mittee of live to go to Knoxvillc , and Nnsh-
villo If necessary , to confer witli Governor
Buchanan and arbitrate tbo present dittl-
cultics. .
Commissioner Ford and Assistant Alleman
were Invited to go with the committee. A
resolution was unanimously passed that each
man pledge himself on his honor that not
ono dollar's ' worth of property would bo
destroyed and the company's property should
bo guarded. It was further determined that
no ono should offer violence to any ono except
In sclf-dofonso.
Thcro is a feeling of relief In consequence
of the meeting. The miners seem to feel
that they are now taking the proper cojrae.
The meeting has resulted in good , for the
men mo now quiet. They nro as de
termined as ever that no convicts shall
work bore , and say they will release all who
come as soon as the troops leave. Nearly
every man present had a double-barreled
shotgun in his hand , a few Winchesters and
not a small number of revolvers. The meet
ing was held in the grove near the Kno\villa
iron company's ' mine. Assistant Commis
sioner Alloman was instructed to draw up
the resolution determining not to destroy
property , and also to request the governor to
call an extra session of the legislature w con
sider how to get rid of the convict lease sys
tem All feel easy now that this action has
been taken.
Miners Confident of Success.
MEMPHIS , Tenn. , July 21. A special from
Coal Creek says : At six o'clock p. m. without
any serious demonstrations on the part of
the mineis , the committee appointed at tbo
meeting this afternoon got off to Kiio-vvillo.
since which time nothing has ooon heard
from them. It is not likely that any mine
machinery will bo hurt , as the men are
lirmly convinced that they will event
ually triumph and take charge
of all the mines. Once lot
them think they cannot keep the convicts out
and they will tear out the machinery and sot
'lire to every mine here before they take their
departuio toother sections of'tho countrv to
look for worn The minors uro much elated
at , tholr success so far without resistance and
sny that no troops can bo found who will
"
como here and" protect convicts. No ono
hero lias as yet any idea of what * the state
troops will do wuether they will be ordered
from Knoxville or not. The delay has in
creased the hilarity of the men hero at what
they term "tho perishable goods boxed and
shipped away. "
When the papers arrived today saying that
fifteen companies were at Knoxville under
experienced lenders , fully equipped with
Galling guns , ammunition' btnnkots , the
men began to feel very serious over the situ
ation. It was this which caused the meeting
and the appointment of the committee and
led the men to advise the surrender of those
demanded by tlio oflleers without bloodshed.
Thrilling Scenes in Kuoxvillc.
KNOXVII.U' , Tonn. , July 21 Not slnco the
dark days of ' 05 ha\ro there been such thrillIng -
Ing scenes on the streets of Knoxville as
were enacted today. Since the arrival yes
terday evening from Coal Creek of tho'car
load of convicts and the return of the mili
tia the greatest excitement has been mani
fest. When the armory was reached by tlio
Knoxville niul Chattancoga troops great
crowds gatheied on the sidewalks > ind ga ed
in wonderment nt the movements of the sol
diers. The court house , lawn , stops , fence
and the streets surrounding the place nave
contained gient crowds all dav and many und
varied are the expressions heard regarding
the condition of things.
At 2 : 5 two companies of west Tennessee
militia arrived at the court house square
and cheer after cheer went up ns they came
in. All the now arrivals are well supplied
with blankets. Yesterday afternoon at 20 : ! !
o'clock the excitement in the streets reached
fever boat. It was occasioned by the arrival
of additional troops from Memphis. They
number over ono hundred men and were in
charge of Brigadier General Carncs. Gen
eral Carnes now has ,100 troops ready to
march to Coul Creek. It all depends , how
ever , on Ills orders , which ho as yet refuses
to make public.
Governor's Authority Questioned.
NASHVII.U : , Tonn. , July 21. The question
as to the governor's ' authority to proceed to
quell the miners' riots independently ot the
civil oftlcors , the sheriff of Amlor.on county
having left iho scene , was under discuisto'n
by his excellency and his ofllcial friends all
day. Attorney General Pickell ar
rived this morning mid ho and
ex-Governor Marks wcro closed with tlio
governor for an hour. The attorney general
then proceeded to draft his opinion' and was
occupied with it .luring thu day. The paper ,
which was an exhaustive ono , was handed to
the governor late this atternoon , but lie mid
all parties concerned declined to maKe a
word of it public. No orders woio issued to
the troops , however , and the governor mid
attorney general left tonight for Knoxvillo.
Cowardice of tlio S.'iorin" .
None of tbo gentlemen in conference with
the governor would talk. It was learned by
your correspondent that Attorney General
Pickell thinks that Governor Buo'jnnan was
justified by thu law in sending the military
to Anderson county in answer to the sheriffs
demand , but ns the sherilT has retired igno-
minlousiy from the field the governor is at
the end of his row. Tlio military can only bo
used under civil authority and in the absence
of tlio sheriff the troops cannot
bo utilized , so that unless the sheriff of An
derson county comes forward and again asks
for assistance und summons the national
guard ns n posse tint soldiers will go march
ing homo. Governor Buchanan is very In-
diununt at the sheriff's failure to uphold the
dignity of the law.

Now Hill Propos > d 1'or Iroliin I.
LONDON , July 21. Tno Intimation made by
Balfour In the commons yesterday to the
effect that n local government bill for Ire
land , based on the sumo lines as tlio English
and Scotch acts , will bo Introduced by the
government at tlio next session of parliament
is founded on the fact that such a mo.iMiro
will certainly become part of the government
programme for next session.
Discussion of the estimates in parliament
has boon made the occasion for long rev-lows
in the press , in which tlio improved condition
of Ireland , the fact that agrarian crime lias
diminished , trade increased , evictions lo"-
soncd in number , boycotting almost ceased ,
the plan of campaign is almost c.xtii.ct and
emigration decreased are considerably
touched upon.
During the past week five of the principal
banking corporations in Ireland have held
annual meetings and declared a dividend of
10 per cent.
The Standard , referring to this Improve
ment in the condition of Ireland , asserts that
a discontinuance of the subsidies received
from the United States is largely responsible
for the improvement. "Tenants , " the
Standard adds , ' 'bribed by American dollars ,
will persist in their dishonest and unlawful
conspiracy , but loft to face umdded tbo consequence -
sequence of their criminal mistake , llrst in
ono place and then another , they have found
it necessary to surrender , whllo the humili
ating collapse of the plan of campaign has
given warning as to the worth of the solemn
pledges of the agitators. Gladstone has al
ready stated that it Is undeniable that the
conservatives in some respects have a great
advantage in undertaking homo rule legisla
tion , for when the lories propose radical legislation -
islation the lords gro\\l , but they never boar
It. In the meanwhile the most romarknblo
feature is the curious rcapproachtnent bo-
Uvcon Balfour uud the Irish members. The
Iiishseo that their arch-opponent is , after
all , human and that he has the qualities of
sincerity and courage not inferior to their
own. The change has been on both sides
and Balfour lias perhaps learned the mojt.

Minn , , July 21. [ Special
Telegram to TIIK Buu.I | ro.ic.liod St. Paul
at nn early hour this morning , to find the city
in an unprecedented state of excitement.
The great Sioux uprising of ISA \ , when the
whole territory of Minnesota wai ilevastato.l
by the hostile forces at Little Crow , wasn't
n marker to It , The cause of all this unusual
turmoil is the great fistic battle which is to
tnko place tomorrow nl ht before the Ath
letic club between Bob Fltzslnimons nnd
Gentleman Jim Hall , the bruising wondora
of the antipodes.
In the language of the short-haired , St.
Paul Is groggy and a few moro pmcUoi U
liable to send her through the ropus. Tlio
law and order element is m tklug a herculean
effort to stop the battle , and for a time It
looked as if it would bo sticcossful. The in *
dictation mooting at Market hall last evening -
ing was a tremendous alTmr , and .sot all the
tongues of the city a wagging. This mooting
was largely attended by members of the cloth
and citizens morally opposed to the affair.
Hundreds and hundreds of cltlzms were un-
ablu to gain admission to the trill , and tlio
rabble that blocked thu entrance ami choked
thu adjoining streets would double discount
any scene that could ponibly bo enacted
within the walls of any well regulated club
room.
St. 1'aul'n Only Object.
Nino-tenths of the throng were attracted
through Idle curiosity , and were in for any
thing that would furnish n little gratuitous
excitement. The business conti'igency of
the citj is clamoiously In favor ot ttio right's
going OM , and the papers nro looming with
interviews to this effect ,
"Anything , " as a prominent public official
stated in tlio mcscnco of a largo crowd In the
lotumla of l\\o \ \ Hotel Ryan this morning ,
"anything that will eroato'tlio impression on
the outside that St. Paul Is not in the last
throes ol dissolution. "
The outpouring of the Indignant masses
last evening resulted only in increasing Urn
feverish interest in the great contest , and
just now it looks as if iho light could only bo
prevented by calling out the military. But
this will not bo done- and the light will como
off.
CJThis afternoon Archbishop Ireland , Judge
McMillan and President Cochian of the
Young Men's Christian association waitoa
upon Governor Morclam at his residence , at
thu head of a boil v of several hundred clii-
/ens nnd implored his executive Interference.
Tlio covornor appealed to Attorney GJnoral
Clapp , asking what could bo douo and tbo nt-
touiov general replied , statingthat under the
statutes ol Minnesota nothing could bo done ,
and that the president of the United Statoi
was the only soun-o of salvation loft. This
frigid reception had a tendency to cool the
ardor of the prop igandlsts. and tonight the
short huirod are in a state of excessivejubi
lation.
JJcad Games in SxvarniH.
The streets , saloons nnd hotel corridors
nro swarming with the dead gnmo this evenIng -
Ing , nnd the city resembles the scones that
precedes n national convention. The sports
are hero seemingly from every habita
ble portion of the glebe , and judging
from Iho way tlio tickets are selling they
have little apprehension but what the ovcnt
will como off according to card. Deacon
Wliitllold of the Kansas City Star heads a
delegation of wild and woolly Mlssotirlnns.
Dave Pomeroy , Doc Whiting and Jon Wilder
are hero from Tucson ; Bat Masterson , who
has killed as many men as ho lias lingers and

of the TimoH-Stnr , Bon Johnson of the Com

New Orleans , and Harry MotUrov , editor of
tlio Picayune , witli a select company or

Men and Money.
I saw John Kline , Hall's trainer , this aft
ernoon at , tlio Metropolitan. Ho said that hia
man was in superb condition , and ex
pected to win thu light. Hall la
ns handsome and gentlemanly aa
over. Ho said never foil bettor In his
life , and that ho would lluk FlUslmmons nnd
liuk him hard.
The betting on the contest is most mer
curial. First ono man gives odds on Hall
then another on Fit/simmons but it is nearly
nn oven thing. Gcorgu Little of Hntto City
wagered $ * > , ( XK ) on Fit/simmons to $2.r > 00 on ,
Hall , taken bv Bat Masterson. tlio Denver
sport. Mr. Little bet fill ) to $ > W ) with
Mnstcrson that thu Black Po.irl would whip
Elling.sworth before UiuTulii City club.
Tonight I saw FiUsimmons for a moment.
Ho resembles on Indian rubber skeleton nnd
looks ns if ho could eat a liorsu. Ho says ho
couldn't he liner. His muscles mo like iron ,
his wind Htrong , and lie says that
Hall Is destined for the worst
beating a man over revolved. Fltz
is mad , and this Is affording tlio
Hall faction much satisfaction. Tlmy take
it as an augur In Jim's favor and ho himself
say * that lanky Bob is as good as liked.
Where the . ' 'l lil Will Occur.
Tno pulldlng In which the battle will tnko
place is out on V.'osc Seventieth street , about
fifteen minutes ride on the curs. It Is octag
onal In shape , with the ring In the center ,
and will accommodate 8,000 people.
It Is said tonight that Governor M err I am
will issuu n proclamation , but this will cut
no figure and tlio fight will proceed according
to programme.
Anldo from the great battle between the
Australians tomorrow night , Thu lilnok
Pearl-Joe lOlllngsworth battle , which takes
place tonight before the Tlwn City dub lu
Minneapolis is exciting approximate excite
ment. The fancy predict a haul and gama
fight , nnd thus tar butting has boon oven ,
though Indications nro that when the
moii outer' the ring the Pearl will
be tliu favoiito at odds ot 2 to 1 , although
many of the knowing ones slyly intimate that
ho is coming out second best.
