THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
Its Session at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, September 19.-Arguments
were made before the Tariff Commission
this morning in favor OK the maintenance of
existing duties on pig lead and lead ore, of
an Increase of the duties on spetter and
sheet zinc, and for the encoura cement of
the sorghum sugar interests by the main
tenance OF the present duty on sugar.
n. J. Coleman, formerly Lieutenant Gov
ernor OF Missouri, made free trade argu-
ment particularly on the tariff as it affects
farmers. He declared the protected indus
tries were eating one another up-the iron
men eating up the cotton men and wooden
men, etc. IL was In that way that every
thing was so high. The country had to
come to its lowest basis, and then the
American manufacturer could compete
with the world.
Dwight Tresdway, representing the Cham
Der Of Commerce, made asstatement In SUP
port Of the existing duties on sugar, mo
lasses and rice. He said that he appeare d
not in the interest of any class or Of any
special branch Of business, but spoke in the
name Of the whole Southwest, and advo-
Gated principles which would be indoreed
by the whole people from Missouri to the
Gulf, and from the Rio Grande to the At
lantic. He argued that taxes might be
reduced by $l50,OOO, 900 year without I'm
perilling any special interest or industry.
But reduction on the sugar tariff even by
one-fOurth would work incalculable injury
to the sugar planting interest of the South,
and would be almost ruinous to at least one
entire State. A reduction of the duty Oh
rice would be equally injurious to Louisiana
and the Carolinas. The st. Louis Chamber
OF Commerce, therefore, disapproved OF
any legislation that would make worthless
the millions Of dollars now invested in the
production OF sugar, molasses and rice.

THE GRECO TURKISH WAR.
The Bone of Contention Narrow Strip of
Land Along the Border.
Pal MaH Gazette.

The fray between the Greeks and the
Turks at Ksralik Dervend is no mere border
brawl between frontiersmen. It Is a con-
flict waged between the regular troops OF
Greece and the Porte for the possession OF
q narrow slip Of mountainous territorv
ceded to Greece under the Berlin treaty.
which has been retained by the. Turks. An
the powers unanimously cIded agaips,
the Turkish preteRsion to retain Karalfk
Dervend, position commanding the
road to Salonica. Its evacuation, how.
ever, has been postponed from time
to time, until the Greeks, waxing impatient,
and possibly encouraged by the difficulties
IN which the Turk is involved elsewhere,
took the law into their own hands, and oc-
cupied the disputed territory. The Turks
are now engaged in shelling them cut of 1t.
Reinforcements are hurrying up on both
sides, and there is no saying how 1t may
end. II 1t were only the regulars who
fought, matters would be less serious. But
it is reported that the Bishop of Platamona,
at the head Of his flock, is marching
to attack the Turks In the rear.
The incident is suggestive. The Bishop is 8
subject of the Sultan, Platamona is part and
parcel of the o toman Empire. But the
Bishop, like his flock, regards Greece as
their true country, and on the first Opportu-
nity they have come to the assistance of
their kinsfolk against the forces OF their
own rulers. This is natural enough, and it
Is because It is SO natural that Ii is SO dan
gerous. II the fighting is prolonged, the
Hellenes not only In ThessalY but in Epirus
are likely to follow the episcopal example.
A very small spark Is able to kindle fire in
those regions which all the diplomacy OF

An underground telegraph system be-
tween Paris and Marseil'es is nearly ready
for use in France. Three weeks ago $50
men were engaged in pushing forward the
work from both ends, following the main
roads and the right bank Of the Rhone.
From q description By Iron. the English
journal, 1t appears that the pipes are laid at
q depth of more than a metre and a half
and chambers for facilitating repairs are
placed at about every 500 metres; they re-
semble large cast iron caldrons with covers.
and have spertures for receiving the ends of
the two pipes which they connect. Every
100 metres the pipes are united by cast iron
couplings, which will permit of Inspecting
and repairing the cable; and the Joint be-
tween each pipe is made with an India rub
ber washer or lead collar. ''The work is
pushed forward with Vigor," adds the same
paper, land it is proposed eventually to
connect this cable, which will traverse
France from north 10 sou'h, with the cables
