heavily upon US. Eight OF our members
are down with the fever and two are dead.
Nearly all the others have it in their fam
lilies, and the future looks dark. Work is
suspended. Men see their loved mes

MENpHIs, September 7.
DR.. Mitchell, medical director OF the
Howard Association reports over 4O) new
cases discovered to-day by the physicians
under his charge, and says: While we
need medical aid, and would gladly well
come physicians who have had yellow fe-
yer, l cannot recommend the unacclima-
ted to come OF remain. The risk is too
great. They will surely succumb in a few
days and become an additional care. Sew
eral volunteer physicians and a number OF
nurses are down with the fever.
GRENADA, September 7.
The fever seems to have exhausted itself
for want Of more victims. There are only
three deaths and six new cases to-day.

New York, September Z.
The announcement that K~earney was to
harangue the ~workingmen in Union
Square last night drew an immense
crowd, it being estimated that at 1880
o'clock fully 1000 people were present.
The crowd was quiet and orderly, and but
few police officers were to be noticed, and
these were engaged in -keeping q free pass

that there never was such a gathering in
Union Square since the breaking out of
the war. There was, however, q notice.
able absence Of politicians. When Kear-
ney made his appearance he was received
with loud cheers. He then proceeded to
lay aside his coat and necktie, and began
his address. He said The country was
cursed with factions, while o great mass Of
the American workingmen were united.
He wished every ~workingman to constitute
himself . committee to preserve order.
George Blair was appointed chairman OF
the meeting, and Mr.. Kearney continued.
He went on TO say that the workingmen
had been illuminated by q lying, thieving,
venal press. He abused the San Fran
cisco Call and the Associated Press in I'M
measured terms. and said the latter had
prostituted itself and that the former was
edited by . thief. He was interviewed, he
said, in Washington. by men representing
the New York press, and though he kept
his mouth shut the agents Of Shiny, crawl
ing. hell-hound thieves, misrepresented
him all over the country. Kear-
ney then attacked the New York
Herald, and said that Bennett
aped aristocracy and cfawled to
royalty, while young men who worked for
him were in many cases almost starving.
The Times had an article written by some
Shiny creature about him-the Tribune
another, and the editor Of the latter paper,
he said, was not fit to tie the shoesfrings
OF Dennis Kearney. The Sun, according
to the speaker, was a pretty Independent
paper, but il his hearers wanted news they
were to read the Irish World. The Star
was beneath his notice. He did not want
to appear as q d~emagogue. and he told
them frankly, from what he had seen and
known, that Workingmen would capture
the United States ere five years had pact.
He had addressed over A million Of men.
