Durham, white, of Aiken, was chosen
temporary chairman. DR.. V. P.

great labor demonstration in this
city to- day fully one hundred and
fifty organizations were represented,
aud there were at least 10000 men

Union Square, where it was reviewed
by Mr. John Swinton, Rev. DIR. Me-
Glinn, DIR. A. Donai, Louis +. Post

and bricklayers 1000. Th,re were
many red flags i'll the line, and many

''All men are born alike and equal ]!
Labor built this republic; labor

land, hence no individual should
own it," &c.
At the conclusion of the parade

livered by John Swenton, Robert

KNOXVILLE, TENN: WEDNESDAY,
What Is 1t?

suspicious case of sickness, pronounced
by some to bear smallpox symptoms, came
to the attention of the city and health
authorities last Saturday. It was small
mulatto child of Henry Grigsby, who, with
his family, occupy the rooms over the Pop
lar Log Saloon, on Asylum street, between Gay
and Market Square. The patient was first
seen Friday by DR.. s. G. Bowman, and was
afterwards turned over to Dr. ]. G. Hudg-
ings, city physician, who has treated it
since. Several physicians were called In to
see it, and there was difference of opinion
among them as to what the disease was.
Late Saturday night Mayor Payne,
after consultation with Doctor
A. B. Tadlock, president of the
board of health, declared quarantine on
the premises, until the facts developed.
The entrance way was barred and police
man has been kept stationed there ever
since, and the family have been kept in,
and no one allowed to enter.
Last night meeting of the board of
health was held at DR.. Boyd's Office, there
beng present DIR. A. B. Tad
lock, DIR. s. B. Boyd, Col. J. W.
Gaut and Judge h. 81. Ingersoll
The statement of a number of physicians
was heard, but there was still conflict of
opinion, and the matter remaining in doubt,
the action of the mayor and president in es-
tabIshing the quarantine was endorsed.
On motion, Drs. Frank A. Ramsey, T. w.
Shaw and James Rodgers were appointed as
a committee of experts to visit the case this
morning to diagnose and report on it. 1t
was determined to retain the quarantine
until the question is settled.

Tariff Matters.

CINCINNATI, September 5-A dep
utatiUn from the Grocers' Associa>
ton of Cincinnati, consisting Of Jas.
NJ. Glenn. l.. g. Keever, James IL.
Laws and David A. White, came be-
fore the Tariff Commission this morn
ing and presented paper on the
duties on sugar, molasses and rice.
The paper advocated the continuance
of wise and liberal policy OF pro
lection for those staples of the South
and Southwest. 1t urged strongly
that no change e made IN the duties
on those articles that would
afford less protection than is now
extended to them, as the present
tariff gave no more protection than
was actually necessary to encourage
their production and stimulate their
increase. IL expressed the opinion
that the agricultural people of the
Mississippi Valley are in warm sym
patEy with the development of those
great Southern interests, because
they fully appreciate the advantages
to be derived from the estabhshs
ment of large permanent home
markets for their products. In the
event of any modification of the
tariff on sugar, they suggest that
grades No IA, Is and 16 should not
as now, be scaled so far above the
refining grades as to exclude them,
but that they should be so grade as
to allow their importation They
also recommend the use Of Polaris
coke as test of the grades of
sugar.
In reply to questions by Mr.,
Kenner, Mr.. Keever stated
that the views in this paper
were those Of the entire grocery
trade Of Cincinnati, and that the as
sOciation had no connection whatev-
er with the sugar refinery interest
MIR. Laws stated in reply to a
question by Onver, that there was no
General feeling IN the community in
favor of any rad ctl change il the
tariff, and IL would be better to let
the tar # remain as tits than to have
1t materially lnteriered with In either
way.
NJ D. Daily, representing steam~
boat interests between Cnclnna, i
aid New Orleans, made an argument
against any reduction Of duties on
sugar, molasses and rice, that would
operate against the production of
those staples IN the South, and, cons
stquently, against the interests of
rlVer transportation companies. This
company owned ten or elev, n
palatlal steamers, with ca
paelty of from 1,20O to 1,5OO
tons each, They made eight or
nne trips each season, taking up
sugar, molasses and rice, and in re-
turn taking down manufactures of
the northwest Trade would be
ruined by free trade in sugar. He
asked that there should be no
changes in the existing tariff.
There being no other persons
present who desired to present any
views, the commission adjourned to
meet Tomorrow IN Louisville
