Knoxvtlle, Aug. 19. Another story
of yesterday's fight at Coal CreeK is to
the effect tbat 12 miners were killed hud
20 wounded. An attack by tbe miners
was made, with 800 men against 150
troops. A return fire was ordered by
General Anderson, and a blaze from
everv side of the tort belched out. Some
were killed bucright and many wounded
At tbe stockade tbev stopped and tbe
men clambered over tbe walls. to release
the convicts. The fort is some distance
from tbe stockade and higher op. The
doors and entrances were thrown open
and the miners were at last in possesmm
Tbev began to order the convicts lo
leave, and had tbem al! captured when
General Anderson assembled all bis sol
diers at the side tbe miners were on, and,
moving a howitzer to tbat side,. began to
bombard them. The miners stopped m
their work ol releasing tbe convicts, and
turned to get out of the way of the heavy
fusilade of bullets. Again and again
their leaders begged them to fight, but
they rushed down tbe bill to escape tbe
furious onslaught of tbe soldiers. With a
never bait and never rally gait, they
reached tbe bottom of tbe hiil, bearing
13 dead ana more than 20 wounded
miners with tbem'. Thev hurried far out
of sight and reach of the guns . Tbev
then collected their shattered and wound
ed forces. It is feared more than 50 are
wounded, and more are dead than re
ported.
A train bearing the Springfield rifles
and troops from Nashville arrived at 11
o'clock and were joined by 200 citizens
from here and started for Coal Creek.

Knoxvili.b. Aug 19 The latest intel
ligence was received from Coal Creek at
1.30 tbis moroiog, from a correspondent
who escaped' and made bis way to
Offett's, where tbe wires are working.
His repo't confitmed tbe rumors received
earlier in the night tbat General Ander
son was captured by five men coming
under a flag of truce. They enticed him
into the village by promises of safety.
On turning a ccrner they were met by a
mob, who took him to a hotel and de
manded that he sign an order to his lieu
tenant for the surrender ot the stockade
and tort. Though threatened with bang
ing, be refused to sign, and asked ooly
that be be -bot and hi grave marked so
bis family could find it He may bave
been lynched ere this. ' A desultory fir
ing lasted all night. Tbe miners cluim
to bave killed bve soldiers, and silenced
the howitzer. It is silent but probably
to save ammunition. ' A Offrtt's General
Carnes learned ibat 500 miners awaited
bim at Knapp's Summit, near Coal Creek,
and tbrfe cattle pars were filled with dy
namite, so be left tbe train and went up
a narrow valiey, and when last heard
from was within two miles of Coal Creek.

at 5 o'clock this afternoon , in the reel

discovered by workmen on tbe city ball,
who gave tbe alarm and rushed to tbe
scene, finding' the building enveloped.
in flames- -Thinking they heard : the
groans of some one inside, they went in
at tbe risk of their Jives and bore out
what proved to be tbe charred remains ol
Mrs. Bngga. At first it 'was tboogbt life

were snmmoLed, but it was too late.
Sbe bad evidently inhaled tbe flames and,
being partially overcome, bad started
from the room in the hope oi making ber
escape, but sank exhausted in tbe hall
where she was found. No one seems to
know how the fire ongiuated, as tbe rest
of the family were away, bat the suppo
sition is tbat she was starting a fire in a
gasoline stove, wbicb - explnaed Mr.
Bnggs was well and favorably known
throughout' tbe state, being tbe sister of
President John W. Johnson, ot the State
University at Eugene, and tbe mother of

Canal Toll War.
Washington, Aug: 20. The president
bas proclaimed retaliation witb Canada,
in accordance with tbe authority confer
red upon bim by tbe act to enforce recip
rocal relations witb Canada, passed last
Julv. His proclamation is dated August
18, but was only issued to day, after a
final interview between Secretary Foster
and Mr Michael H. Herbert, the charge
d'affaires of the British legation here,
wbicb took place this TOorniog. . Tbe
Canadian government bad asked for
delay, pleading tne absence of the mm
isters from Ottawa, sod other reasons
text of the proclamation.
The president's proclamation, after re
citing tbe text ot the act ot congress
under which it is issued, concludes as fol
lows: Whereas the government of tbe
Dominion of Canada imposes a .toll
amounting to about 20 cents per ton on
all freight passing tbroogb tbe Wetland
canal in transit to ports of tbe United
States, and also a further toll on all ves
sels ot the United States, and on all pas
sengers in transit to a port of tbe United
States, all ot wbicb tolls are without
rebate, and whereas tbe government of
tbe Dominion ot Canada, in accordance
with an order in council of April 4, 1892,
refunds 18 cents per ton of toe 20 cents
toll at tbe Wellaod canal on wheat.
Indian corn, peas, barley, rye, oats, flax
seed and buck wneat, upon condition that
tbey are originally shipped fot and car
ried to Montreal, or some port east of
Montreal, for export, and tbat if tranship
ped at an intermediate point, such tran
shipment is to be made within tbe
Dominion of Canada, but allows nosncb.
nor any other rebate, on tbe said products
when shipped to a poit of tbe Lotted
States, or when carried to Mootreal for
export if transhipped within the United
States; and whereas, tbe government of
Canada by tbe said svstem ot rebate and
otherwise, dlecri tunnies against the clu
zens of the Uuited Mates la the use of
tbe said Wellaod canal, in violation of
tbe provisions of article 27, ot tbe treaty
ot Washington, concluded May 8 1871,
and whereas, the said Wellaod canal is
connected with tbe navigation of tbe
Great Lakes, and I am satisfied tbat tbe
passage through it of cargoes In transit
to ports of tbe Uoited States, is made
difficult and burdenrome bv tbe said dis
cfimijsting system of rebate and other
wise,' and is reciprocally unjust and un
reasonable; now, tberefore, I, Baojamin
Harrison, president ot tbe United States
of America, by virtue of the power to
that end conferred Upon me by tbe said
act of congress, approved July 26, 1892,
do hereby direct tbat, from. and after
September 1, 1892, until lurtber notice, a
toll of 20 cents per ton be levied, collec
ted and paid oo all freight, of whatever
kind or description, passing through tbe
St. Alary s f ails canal, lo transit toaov
port of the Dominion of Canada, whether
carried in vessels of the United States or
of other nations; and to tbat extent I do
hereby suspend, from and after tbe said
date, tbe right ot free passage through
the said 8. Mary's Falls canal of any and
all cargoes or portions of cargoes in
transit to Canadian ports." . -
At Cm! Creek.
- Knoiville, Tennn Aug. 21. Absolute
peace reigned throughout Coal Creek
valley to day, and,- but for the move
ments ot the soldiers, tbe village tbat for
uearly a week bas been tbe scene of fierce
combat was as quiet as a New England
(arm town. There were a great many
strangers in, tbis place visiting tbe scene
ot the riors. f our buudred miners and
ciMzeqs of Coal Creek bave been arrested.
and 200 of tbem bave been held for
further examination. They bave been
removed from the cars and are now
guarded in acburch. Some of them are
still very defiant, abusing the officers in
charge and threatening dire vengeance
on t heir captors. General Carnes took an
-Dgine and went up .tbe, road toward
Jellico tbis morning to arrest fVebb, wbo
made an inceodiary speecp at a miner s
meeting Friday. v .
, WILL 'RESIST ARREST.
When tbe convicts at Inman were lib
erated by tte miners last Monday, Judge
Moon, wbo was holding court, called tbe
grand jury and charged, although three
miners were on the jury, tbat indictments
be returned against every man who was
known to have participated in tbe raid oo
tbe stockade at Inman. The sheriff de
clined to serve warrants; and tbe deputy
sheriff was ordered to s-rve tbem. The
indicted men say tbey will resist arrest,
and it is thought a large force will be
necessary to capture tbem.
ll.wa In Tennessee.
Nashville, Tenn Aug. 20. General
Carnes is in full control of tbe situation
at Coal Creek, and tbis afternoon tele
graphed Gevernor Buchanan tbat only
tbe First and Second regiments would be
needed to maintain peace. The volun
teers will therefore be returned to their
homes st once. General Carne bas ar
rested 400 miners and they are closely
guarded in box cars. Tbey will be ptos-
ecuted. Matters are becoming settled
and more quiet. , One of tbe guards at
Fort Anderson, who returned here to day.
says tbe bodies of four miners, not re
ported yes'erday, and several wounded
men weie found on the battlefield tbis
morning. Squads of soldiers and miners
are scouring the woods for tbe dead and
wounded. Fiiteen dead, miners were
fonnd in tbe viciuity of the late troubles,
and there are orobably more in tbe
woods.
- What Powder ly Says.
Wtlkesbakrb, Pa , Aug. 21. Mr.
Powderly says in an interview: "While
I don't advocate strikes, I hope the
switchmen will win. Tbey deserve to.
Tbeir boors are long, tbeir work danger
ous and tbeir pay poor. The average
pay is $1 88 for 12 and 14 hours' work.
I would like to ask bow an American
citizen is going to keep a family on sucb
an income. Hungarian and otber for
eigners wbo live like cattle in shanties
might be able to do it, but tbe American
cannot. I tbink every fair minded man
in tbis country will agree witb me oo
this point: so will the wives of our
American workingmen.".
. Una Aet Together. " . -,
Buffalo. Aug. 23. It is believed here
that tbe fireman of the local organization
have passed tbe point where tbe enthusi
asm of tbeir sympathy might take tbem
ont on a strike..: It is thought now tbat
tbey will go.out independent of tbe order
at large.. Dnnng every hour since Friday
night's meeting, firemen, wbo are in a
position to know exactly what tbe com
panies are doing In freight traffic, bave
observed a steady in create In the move-
ment ol freight. It is said Sargent will
today inform- Sweeney tbat, while. he
assumes tbe switcbmvn's cause to be
just, and while they have bis sympathy,
he will not call an insolated strike of
fireman in tbis locality, but it tbe time
comes when labor most assert itself and
the other alhed orders will come out, be
is willing to place bis men in tbe same
column. Briefly, tben, the strike, if it
comes,mU8t be one involving tbe Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. Brother
hood of Railway Traimen, Brotherhood
of Railway Conductors, and Brotherhood
of Railway Telegraphers.
Vice President Webb, of tbe Central,
said tbis morning be bad not yet made
aoswer to tbe proposition ot sheriff Berk
to swear in as deputy sheriffs all the oon
union switchmen employed on the Cen
tral.
To tbe Associated Press, Frank P.
Strgent, grand master of the Locomotive
f iremen, this morning said, in emphatic
language: "if X order a strike ot tire
men, it will be in conjunction with tbe
orotberboods of Locomotive Engineers,
Railway Trainmen, Railway Conductor
and Railway Telegraphers'- Tbere will
be np strike of tbe firemen alone."
j Governor Flower Speaks.
Watebtown, N. Y., Aug.E2. loan
interview witb a representative of tbe
United -Press, previous to his fleparture
from Albany, Governor Flowek said in
reference to tbe criticism tbat bave been
made on bis action in sending so many
troops to tbe scene of tbe strike: "Have
you a brother amoog tbe unlitm at
Buffalo) If yon bave, vou will know
bow to answer it. Tbe militia of tbe
state of New York is composed of active,
intelligent voong men, coming from
prosperous homes and shops and business

relinquish a part of tbeir liberty in tbe
service ot the state tor protection in just
such emergencies as tbe present one.
When tbe state calls on tbem tor service
that bas an element of danger, the state
is bonnd to use every means at its com
mand to minimize that danger as far as
possible. Certainly it would be an out
rage to place these young men in a peril
ous position to long as it is possible to
avoid it. When the proper authorities
at uurtaio informed me that 2UUU militia
men of tbat locality were trying to pro
tect property so vast that it was neces
sary to place every man in constant
daoger, and when asked tor more troops
to lessen tbis danger to lives as well as
protect tbe property, tbe state coold do
no less than to send enough troops to
prevent Dioodsbed. it was due to the
strikers, as well as lo tbe militia and tbe
owners of property in question, tbat we
gave ample protection to all; for tbe
strikers are not the ones from whom
serious trouble is feared; tbat comes from
tbe lawless element, the 'bangers oo' who
ib variably gather at sucb places, and find
pleasure in stirring up a ntrike and caus
ing wreck and ruin; In' a city like
Buffalo tbis element numbers many
tboutaods. I am sure the good people of
tbe state find no lault because the exec
utive bas granted tbe request for suffi.-
cient troops to prevent tbis law-breaking
crowd from - committing any act that
might lead lo further trouble."

An Exciting Voyage.
' Wenatchee Graphic.
Probably no otber river of tbe United
States Is more difficult of navigation than
tbe Columbia, and no boat makes a more
perilous voyage than the City of Ellens
burgh, wbicb navigates tbe river betreen
Weoatcbee and tbe mouth of tbe Okano
gan, a distance of about ' one hundred
miles. On tbe up trip tbe Methow and
Cbelan rapids are passed only by attach
ing a line, and none but a first class
pilot, perfectly fsmiliar witb tbe river,
could avoid tbe" nnmerous rocks and
reefs, and guide tbe staupcb boat over
the multitude of small rapid which
must be passed on the adventurous jour
ney. , From beginning to end tbe trip Is
full of interest snd excitement, tbe
sturdy steamer bugging first one bank
and tben tbe otber, now gliding into tbe
smooth waters of an eddy and in another
moment figbdng its -way, inch by men,
over a minature cataract. Io going op
tbe rrver a speed of four or bve miles is
all tbat can be attained, but on the return
trip the scene changes and tbe slow,
plodding steamboat of the up-tnp be
comes a racing grey bound that leaps
through tbe treacherous rapids at the re
markable speed of twenty five miles an
hour, thus distancing tbe fastest ocean
steamer, or any man of war Uncle Sam
bas got. Tbe Maid of th Mist, io tbe

In Early Days.
From Saturday's Dally.
y
Daring these' daye, when Item are
scarce, it is interesting to listen to the ex
perience of pioneers, who cam to Oregon in
early days. Such was oar privilege this
morning, and Justio Scbntz, who now
wears tb judicial ermine, waa at the month
of the Columbia in 1853, as fin mat of a
bark from New York. The destination waa
St, Helena, where was located a aaw mill,
and the craft was to load lumber. For
twenty-one day the. captain kept outside
the bar, afraid to enter the river, and no
pilot ahowed himself, although th flag was
hoisted daily. Dnnng all this time aa
Oregon mist fell, and from tbe captain to
the cook all were disgusted with th cli
mate. ' The helm wa changed, and the
bark tailed for anoiher port to receive her
cargo. Mr. Edwin Crate, 8r wa present
during t conversation, and whan the year
waa mentioned said bs waa her long before
that, for ha made tb over land trip io 1837.
and landed at The Dalles, then an Indian
village, in th fall of that year. At that
time there wa no Portland, no Oregon City,
and Fort Vancouver waa being built.
There are many pages of unwritten history
in tbe recollection ot those old state-boulders,
