R~oxvirLe, Tenn., Aug. 19.—[Special Tele- gram to Tng Ber.|—In a decisive battle to- day the miners who heid Coal Creek were defeated and have surrendered uncondi- tionally, The bruntof the tighting fell on the citizens who responded to the call of the sherif and accompavicd as a posse tho Atato troops under General Carnes as far as Offutt. That station was reached early last evening and there the posse left tho cars, ntending to march on and attack the ininers on the flank, while General Carnes pushed on with the tramn and engaged the rebels from the front. After leaving the train the posse marched rapidly across the country and hills to the top of Walden’s ridee. On this mountain they were within thrvee-fourths of o mile of Camp Anderson. ‘Tney reached thispointon the mountajn top about 10 p. m. Here they halted and lay on their arms. Many of them had had nothing to eat since breakfast yesterday and thero was not & drop of water to bo had, but with true courage they waited to go to Fort Anderson, About 3 o'clock this morning a terrible rain storm came up which continued until noon. When this rain began to fall the inen were somewhat refreshed. They bind no blankets nor the loast shelter and they were largely men of means and unused to hard labor. Marching to Fort Anderson Just at the break of day the officers called their forco into line. The militinmen under the command of Colonel Weolford tock the teaa nnd the squad of Dbusiness men of Knoxville formed the reur and in the pouring rain they started to Camp Anderson by & circuitcus route of two miles. This was done to avoid “a large body of miners who cccupied the lit- tie narrow pass between them and the camp, and the force had marched but a_little ways when they werahalted by a disturbance in the rear. Turough the for aud rain they saw from twenty-five to seveuty-five miners. These fellows dodged behind trees and rocks end opened fire on the Kuoxville citizens® squad. Kitled by Bushwhackers. Their firo was roturned and hot shot was poured into the bushwackers. In the fight John Walthall, a clerk in the Eust Tennessee railroad office at Knoxville, was killed. He was shot through the head nna died in- stantly. His home was formerly 1n Pulaski, Tenn. He was a promivent Knight of Pythinsand expected to goto Kausas City tomorrow to the national conclave. . Carty, a prominent lawyer of this city, who was 1n the eitizens squud, received apainful wound in the shoulder. He con ed on bis feet and in tho fight. Bush Giveus, a constable of Knoxville, was also killed instantly. He was about 50 years of age. Waulthall was about 25, Both were members of the citizens’ squad, Tho state force charged and the miners vere driven from their position. The troops aand citizens continued their Charge ana drove them from the mountain, our miners are known to have been killed and a number wounded, They got off with their dead, howover. The state forces cap- turea nearly all the guns of tbe raiuers. Drove Off the Miners and Retired. After driving back the mivers the force AgaIn sought to go to the fort. In the nar- row valley between their position and the mountain there were about 500 armed miners. The forces were worn out, so they decided to retreat back fivo miles to Offutv to the radroad and telegraph office. They hoped to communicats witi other state forces if there were any. ‘Lhey reached that point about noon. After a delay of some time they got in communication with Gen- sral Carnes, who was in possession of Coal Ureek. The general sent a train for them and took them to Coal Creek. When they reached there they were in so terribly exhausted a condition that they wero not fiv for duty and he sent them back to Kuoxville, they arriving bere at 7 p. . with the bodies of the dead. An immense throng of citizens met the train and the weary citizen soldiers pulled the wagon bearing the bodies to un- dertakers, G oral Carnes’ Mo General Carnes' force, which left here last night at 7:40, reached Offutt during the mght. He remalned thero until after day- light. Ho then ran his train uear Coal Creek, disembavking his troops, prepared for battle ana surrounded the town, Hesent Colonel Sovier unarmed to the town and squzht to make & compromise with the winers, They refused. One man put his pistol to the colonel's head aund threatened 1o shoot him, He got back to his troop General Carnes then sont him ovack with an order to the miners to surrender uncon- ditionally. He advanced bis forces and sur- rounded the miners, The lawbreakers saw it was o time to surrender, so they did s A number were captured, but the grestor purt had flea But General Curnes bad the situation. He demanded the return to him of Captain Kellar Andersoun, who was so treach- erously captured yesterasy. ‘They told bim they would bring bim by 1 o'clock. In the meantime the troops weut on arrest- g miners. At 1 o'clock the miners’ leaders did not bring In Avderson and smd they did ot know where he was, Iy 4 o'clock Carnes had many prisoners. Ho said Ander- 800 had to be returned, and at 4:20 he was brought afo and sound. Cuptain A o 5 ers s Experionces. Captain Anderson says obut for three or four miners te would have been murdered last night by Lindsay’s gaug. These miners .protected bim, aud they are men in Ander- sou's employ, Camp Anderson never surrendered. The men there repulsed the winers every timo ey cawe uear, it is not kuown here as yet e with what loss to the miners. Thoy were afraid to come near that Gatling gun. Late this afternoon, after Carnes had full control of the town and valley, and had some 200 prisouers, he sont & detachment to the fort, Loxs of Life at the Fort, It was known at noon today that Private Smith of Hill Cily, Tenu., bad been killed inside the fort. Private Watterman of Mem- phis was shot by the premature discharge of agun. He will die, so says the report. Thero are reports tonight that large num- bers of miners from Kontucky are on the way to Coal Creek to attack the troops to- night, but no one here believes the rumor. PICKING UP DEAD AND WOUNDED, Soldiers and Miners Searching the Ten- nesses Battle Fieid, CoaL Cneek, Tenn., Aug. 20.—The frst action on tho part of General Carnes this morning was to send out searching parties of fifty each to search for killed and wounded and see that tho miners did not mass. Fayette Geutry, as ex-policeman and a braye mau of Knoxville, was found noar tho scone of the ambush fight. He was hard hit in the hip and left hand snd had lain on the moun- tains twenty-four hours, six of them in a drenching rain. The miners are also search- ine for theie dead undera flag of truce, A detachment of 100 soldiers has just gone up the alley to scatter or canture 400 miners, Governor Buc an's Appenl.

The proclamation closes as fol- lows: “I have overy reason to beliove that tho nsurrcction will be qualled. To endor this result certain adaitional forces are being sent as reinforcoments as rapidly as they can bo assembled and transported. Somo steriffs and citizens have gallantly made voluntary offers of assistance and have been glaaly received. It is the purpose of the ox- ecutive department to use every power cons forred on it by the coustitutioa and the laws to restore order and preserve the mainte- nance of tho laws. I therefore call on overy patriotic eitizen to bold himself in readiness in cuse his sorvices should bo needed by the state.” tford a Coward, Tenn., Aug. 20—A special to the Banner says: The men who fought un- der Major Carpenter yosterday morning say Colonel Woolfora acted with great cow- ardice. Ho is denounced by the members of the citizens’ posse. No Need for More Troops, CHATTAN00GA, Tenn., Aug. 20.—Affairs at Coal Creek are in such a condition now that all reinforcomonts have been stopped from folog to the front, and the volunteers from Chattanooga now here leave for home today. ASSAULTED BY UNION M Seyere Beating luflicted Upon = Luke Shore Switchman, Burraro, N. Y., Auz. 20.—A Lake Shore engine with a crew of men was engaged ia switching cars of perishable property last night with Switchman Albert L. Bowen on topofa car. As the car approached the Lebigh bridge av Hamburg street ono of the striking switchmen climbed on top of the car and attacked Bowen. Officer Mattison saw the attack and started to the rescue. Before he reached tie car Bowen had driven tho striker off the car. Bowen received a severe cut on the head, but proceeded on the car toward the freignthouse, Officer Matti- son being on the engine. HBowen had occa- sion to leave the train to attend ta his work, when he was set upon by a mob in the vicin- ity of Hamburg street crossing, Officer Mattison returned to the crossing and res- cued Bowen, but not till after the latter had received severs cuts about the head. Matti- to the aining car ana tele- phoned for the freight hospital ambulance. When the ambulance arrived Dr. Neal ban- daged Bowen’s head und 1n company with Ofticer Mattison started for the ambulance. They had scavcely left the dining car when one of the mob of the strikers struck Bowen a vicious blow in the face. Ofticer Mattison arrested the assailant and handed him over to & policeman who chanced to be near by, AFFECTING N NESS, V YORK BU e Strike Ives Bankoers, Merchants and K s Much Trouble New Youk, Aug. 20.—The effact of tue railrond strike on the wheels of business down town is becoming more marked every day. ‘Lhe banks are beginning to be affected by reason of the practice of western shippers 10 forward drafts on theircastorn constgnees along with the bills of lading, which drafts ve payable through New York banks, and also by virtue of the practice of lending money to cousignees on such shipments, While the goods are tied up in Buffalo 1t is sometimes diflicult for the New York mor- chaut to meet his obligations, The banks i most cases have given tueir customers time in meeting their notes ana drafts, If the strike is prolonged much longer, the banks will probably cease to lend on such security, and will take some concerted action o meet all the casos which have so l:ll"m'lsen, The falling off of grain sbipments to the extent of 70 or 80 per cent over the roads in- volved in_the strike is also having an in- creasod effect on the business of the ex- chauges, and by reason of the consequent docrease 1n exports. Is also threatening to affoct the rates o foreign exchango. AFFAIRS EAD, Another Strike Ml w Dy, Pirtsiuid, Pa., Aug. 20.—Another strike may take place at Duguesne within the next fow days. The Carnegio companv is said to be systematically aischarging the men who led the latu strike, as many as eight bewng thrown out of employment i one day. Al those turned off rejoin the Amalgamated association, and there 1s & strong feeling in favor of instituting another strike unless the discharzed workmen ure re-employed by tho company. Burgess MecLuckie, the executive of Homestead, whose trip and utterances o the east about the Homestead strike have caused 80 much comment, arrived home yesterday, He said he secured 1,500 for Howmes.ead re- lief in Boston alone. It is now stated ou good authority that the Piukerton detective agency bas spotted the men who took the guns on the eveni of the riot at Homestead, and that quite @ number of arrests will soon be made. John Fleischman, the man shot at the 1on mill yesterday, is doing well and will recover. The mill is Tunniog wbout as usual, but without additions to the force ut work.

LONDON, Aug. 20.—New York Horald Cable—Special to Tue Bek. |—Now it is the turn of tho consorvatives to be diswppointed and disgusted, and i Lord Salisbury’s final list of honors they find ample cause for com- plamnt. An outgoing prime ministor usually rewards his chief followers on the recognized principlo of giving good things to bard work- ers or those who subscribed liberally to the party funds, but on what principle Salisbury actod now would puzzle the acutest mina to discover, unless it was set to work to make tho scramblo for tities tho subjzct for sar- donic humor. The persous selected for knighthood are, with one or two exceptions, simply luaiorous ovbjects. Ashmead Bartlett heads the list. He 15 a vulgars platform spouter, & party hack, looked upon with 8o much contempt in the House of Commous that he scarcely ever veutures to open his mouth in it. He stumps the conutry industriously, but nobady ever heard that he did any good. That he shouia be now Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartiett may be said to have spread a broad grin over the fuce of all Bugland. Then comes the well known furniture maker, Blundel Maplo. It scems rather out of placo to give a tradesman a title, but Maple is a good fellow and a popular man, 8o people merely shrug their shoulders. Some Literary Fellers Recognizod. Then comes Dr. Smith, editor of the Quarterly Reviow and of well known dic- tionaries. His long service to literaturo and volities fully deserved some worthier recog- nition than to be stuffed iuto this menagerie of barone! We have among them Edward Lawson of the Daily Telegraph, who labored hard for the unionists, Auother journalist who re- ceived the same honors is John Jaffray, pro- pristor ot the Birmingham Post, the most powerful paper in the midland counties. He is & man of wealth and high character and agroat friend and supporter of Chamber- lain. 'I'hese are the cream of the baronets. Prof. Huxley becomes right honorable by admission to the privy council. So does Jesse Collings, the faithfulsatellite of Cham- berlain, Liberal unionists fignre protty well in th lists. Salisbury has been sparing with peerages. Two representatives of very old English fam- ilies, Sir Rainaid Knightly and Mr. Leign of Lime, are called to the uppor house, and half a dozan other gentlemon against whom there is notling to be sad. Salisbury does not carry out his practical Jokes at the expense of the House of Lords. The people who Lave been left out and who aro going about vowing they received distinct promises of baronetcies or other honors are lezion. Some of them are well known to me, and I mustconfess their claims for reward were undeniably good. Salisbury doos not give sorious attuntion to these mat- ters, but leaves the chief whip of the party toarrange them, except the peeragos, and the consequence is the odd jutable we soe in this marvelous list, Aftuirs In Gladstone's Camp. Gladstonian murmurs are subsiding simply because London is getting deserted. Politics will for the time be blank, but a large con tingent of radicals will neither forset unor which have been cast upon them. As for Labouchere, he is quite able to revenee himsell, Some Gladstonian organs are trying t divert his wrath trom Gladstono to the queen, insinuating that her majesty declined absolutely to accept him as a minister. The fact is Gladstone aid not submit his name, and never had the least in- tention of doing so, Labby being a thorn in his side. Gladstone would sooner have asked the Father of Lies to join bis ministry than the editor of Truth. Thoero will be a hard fight for Morley's scat. Eyen should he be defeated in New- castle he will have no occasion to regret it, for another und safer constituency will be placed at his disposal. Two or three offers huve been made bhim alreadyv. The other ministers are in no danger, They can have o comfortable six months with little work and bigh pay. adstone 1s said to have a new home rule bill all ready. Morely is the only other man who koows all about it. The story goes that it will sauisfy all the Irish cxcept the ex- treme Pavoellites, but it 18 oo early in the day to believe that, A MeMBER OF PARLIAMENT, ENGLAND AND MOROCUO. Why Sir Charles Evan Smith's Misslon to . ‘oz Was u Fullure Loxnoy, Aug. 20.—A blue book has beea puolisied containing furtuer corrspondence that passed between Lord Salisbury and ir Charles Evan Smith i relation to the latter's mission to Fez. Lord Salisbury in his con- cluding dispateh to Sir Charles protests that the advantages scught in the proposed treaty with Moroceo would be enjoyed equally by all the powers, but as the wiscouception had arisen that Fugland aimed at self-aggrandise. ment it would be inexpedient to adopt meas ures of menace which, while they might be successful, would revive and appear to con- firn hese wisconceptions. **Lherefor concludes Lord Salisuury, “for the preseat muke no further attewpl Lo induce the sultan 1o accept the treaty.” Tne Grapbic, commentiug on the corre- spondence, says that the foregoiug disputoh is scarcely satisfuctory and that it will be difficult 1o persuade a foreiguer tbat some subtle design does not ucderlie Lord Salis- bury's amuziug forbearance, Retused Thelr ¥oquost, LoNDON, Aug. 20.--A spacial to the Times from Caloutta savs that the government has ioformed the Currency assoclation that iv is unable to comply with the request of the as- sociution: thut the governmeat appoint a s o MORNING, AUGUST 21. commission to inquire inte tne advisability of establishing a gold standard in Indis, and that in view of the alaraiiag condition of af- fairs and the dangers 6f'a crisis the govern ment doclares what stems it proposes to take 10 allay the panio existing in the country. THEATRICAL GOSSIP, What 1s Belog Done by Playwrights and Actors Across the Water. Loxnoy, Aug. %.—The phenomenal suc- coss of the music bialls during the past season 18 having an effest uvon London’s theatrical and mustoal caterers. During the coming soason quite a flood of new burlesque and comio opsras are promised. In audition to the conversion of the Roval woglish opera house into a musie hall, the Royalty Olympio and probably the Saaftesbury theaters in- tend to forsake the serious lines. The new burlesques are too numerous to mention, but as the provincial demand is equal to that of Loudon thare is little doubt that all of them will get a trial. Mr. Rovart O. Buchanan, the playwright, will make his first attompt at comic opera this season, bo- sides rilling the commissions he hus in hand for plays for Messrs. 1. 5. Willard and Boer- bohm Tree. 1t is thought Miss Decima Moore will be the heroine of the comic opera with which Mr. Levinson intends to open the now Tra- falgar Square theater early in Septembvor. A three-act comie opera by Howard ‘Talbot has just been fimshed. [t is callea “Tho Mabatma’ and is said to be brimful of charming music. The libretto is by Mr. Edgar Lee und contains a very clever parody on theosophy, which cannot help being more amusing than the real thing. Aftor arun of thras weeks .Mr. Charles Wyndham has withdrawn ‘‘Haste to the Wedding’ from the boaras of the Criterion theater, The next feature at the (Gaiety theater will be a burlesquu serpentine quadrille danced vy four girls attired 1n vari-colored silics. The seroentice dance, as. exemplified by Jenuy Joyce, is quite the rage at the Alhambra, where there is also a new ballet called “Up the River” in preparation, This ballet will be given with splendia Thames scenery, ae- picting house boats and other incidents of river life Terry Whs the Atraction.

[Copyright 1802 by the New York Ass oclated Press.) BERLIN, Aug. 20.—Thoe emporor's declara- tion ut the banquet following the review of the garde du corps ou Thursday that tho governmont did not intend to adopt the pro- posalfor two year's military servies instead of throp yoars, as at presont, is uot consid- ered in official circles to involve the im- mediate retirement of Chancellor von ( Privi, who supposts, and in fact, brought for- ward tho proposal. The national liveral pross insist that the chancellor ought to and must resign, in view of the emporor's do- cision, but it has beon an oper secrot that bofore the emporor started on his recent whaling voyage in the North sea ho set lis face against the main proposals of the chan- cellor’s military bill. The estimates propared on the projected two-years' service bill showed that it would be necessary to demand at the the outset a roforming of tho army expondituras amount- 10g 10 15),000,00) marks, with an asnual ad- dition to the war budget of 2),000,00) marks. The chancellor did not want inaudacity in making official vroposals to meet the - creased expenditures, Taxes on beer, to- baceo and brandy, under which the whole empire would writhe, ware suggested by tho chancellor, who was scomingly reckless of how the RRachstag ana tho country would receivo them. Within his own circle the emperor never concealed tho fuct that ho was radically opposed to any shortening of the term of military service. Stded with the Emp General Count von Waldersee held with the emperor whilo most of tho other high militavy authorities siaed with the chancel- lor in favor of shori servies, Now that the emperor has puolicly spoken out, the po- litical onponents of the chancellor treat the mperial delivery as something altogether new and gs altoring the chaacelior’s position. The emperor’s public rejection of the project does not alter uis relations with tho choncel- lor, though it doas soal the fata of his army bill. The Reichstag might have granted a large portion of the proposed additional war budget if it was accompanied witn shorter service, but it would never acceds to the extraordinary grabs without it. No graat ariny bill will therefore be placed before tho Reichstag at the coming ses sion. Auother rasult of the imperial deciaration will be a regrouping of the parties. Prince Bismarck, with a keen eye to tae political transformation, has adopted a two year's principle. The national liverals, the freissinniges aad free conservatives, every party, except the extrema conseryative, sup- ports the short term, whict will become the main question on which the next eiections will turn, 1fthe praseat governmazot suc- vives an earlier coaflict will oceur on the question with the preseut reichstug, Von Ealenberg Will Preseat the Bill, Chancellor Von Caprivi, though a submis- sive servant of the emperor, will nover face the Reicastag with an army bill asking woney without conceding a snorter term of service. Count Von Bulenborg, president of the Prussian ministerial council and Prus- sian minister of the interior will 2 so, and when the emperor deoms the opportunity favorable—some time next year—Count Von Caprivi willbe replaced by a chancellor ready to carry out the imperial will. The immediate consolation attending the abandonment of the army bill is the with. drawal of the threatened increase in taxa tion. It is reported that tho goverament will withhold from the Leichstug the law for tho tuppression of drunkennsss. The measure which has been in operation since July 1, re- lating to Sunday reposo, ic. causing universal discontent, and its repeal will be agitated in the RReichstag. The provavle fate of this law makes the minors pause with other ineasures on the suwmo liue, Inteasely Warm Weather, The weather is intonsely hot - throughout Gormany and fatal sunstrokes a1e occurring cuerywhere in the ewmpire.
