The strike of the coach and cab drivers continued
yesterday, Merriam, Henry, Wilson and a few other
employers still holding out. Nearly all the principal
stables have, however, conceded the advance rom
s12 to $l4 week. The objection made by the en-
poyers who hold out is that they do not want to
pay cab drivers more than $13 week, while they
are willing to give the s14 to coach drivers. The
committee appointed for the purpose appeared be-
fore the Mayors Marshal yesterday at noon to
prefer charges OF violation OF the ordinances against
Messrs. Banned. Henry and Merriam, and were
about pressing the complaints when Mr. Banfeid
told his men he would give the advance. The
drivers were, therefore, unwilling to proceed any
farther In the matter, and the Marshal stated
that for the present he would hear no
other complaints To-day the committee will again
appear before the Marshal and prefer charges
against Mr.. Merriam and Others The men stated
last evening that they were cOurteously received
by the Mayor and other officials in his offlce. To-
day the committees will continue to watch the
stables and coaches driving through the city, for
the purpose OF seeing II any unlicensed drivers
have been employed. Those men who have gone
TO work at the S1i a week are the most earnest in
demanding the advance for their fellow workmen,
and express themselves willing to share their
wages with the men out OF employment while the
strike lasts. mass meeting OF the drivers from
all parts OF the CITY will DO held on Sunday evening
next.

Report Of the Rio Grnnde Commisslon-


Preventive Measures To BE Taken.


The report OF the Mexican Border Commission,
appointed under an act Of last session OF Congress
to inquire into the extent and means Of the pre-
vention Of cattle stealing aud other depredations
carried on In Texas from Mexican soil, Is in pos
session Of the State Department, and the Commits
sioners themselves are on their way to Washington
to add their personal narrative In fuller explana-
ton OF the situation.


The President will take advanced ground In his
message to Congress In behalf OF terminating the
predatory warfare along the Rio Grande, and will
offer some suggestions as 10 practical means o
solving the question. The inability OF the Mexican
government to suppress its own bandtti will be
taken for granted as the alternative would be to
express dIstrust OF It's good faith; but in either
event the United states government will be treated
as justified in taking the question OF protecting It's
citizens into its own hands, and that with but few
preliminary formalitles. The report OF the Com
mission covers but about onethirc OF the testimony

throughout this section of the State. This
cannot be said of any other county in East
Tennessee. So little flour is manufactured
in the other counties, that it has no repu-
tatiOn beyond the boundaries of the cOun-
ty where made.


If we had twice as many mills in East
Tennessee. as we now have, they would
bring large profits to their owners and save
to the county very large amount of food
for stock. And besides this as we have the
richest and as good wheat as is grown in
the Union, our flour would soon make
reputation in the surrounding States that
would cause steady sale for it at the high
est price.


The flour made in Virginia and Mary
land always brings higher price than
more Northern flour, because it is made
from rich Southern wheat. And these
States manufacture enough to make their
flour known throughout the North, and it
has an established reputation. Such would
be the case with East Tennessee flour if we
had mills enough to grind our wheat. 1t
is to be hoped we shall soon have mills
enough for this purpose. Our immense
water power cannot be used more profita-
bly, than to be utilized in the manufacture
of flour.

Prescription for the Cure of the Disease.


Our dispatches for a few days past have
brought the most alarming intelligence of
the spread of fatal malady among horses
in several of the Northern and Eastern
cities. Apropos to the occasion we clip
the following. from the New York Ereuing
Post:


The horse. disease which has been so
prevalent in Canada has made its appear
ance in Buffalo and Rochester, and it is
natural to suppose that it will continue to
move eastward and southwark. The
plague has been SO general in Montreal
that great difficulty has been experienced
in keeping the street cars running and the
Fire Brigade provided with horses, while
one surgeon has two thousand under his
care. The following description of the
disease and its treatment is taken from the
Buffalo Commercial, and is worth pre-
serving


The early symptoms of this disease are
said to be light, hacking cough and gen.
eral dullness, with an indisposition to
move cold ears and legs, with watery
discharge from the nostrils. AT first the
nasal membrane is pale, but as the disease
advances it becomes highly colored, and
the mucous discharge changes to green
ish or yellow color and the pulse becomes
more rapid. AS soon as these symptoms
appear the animal should be kept warm in
the stable by blanketing, and warm bran
mashes should be given.


A letter from DR.. G.. Elliott, veterinary
surgeon of st. Catharines, contains what
nave proved to be valuable suggestions for
Ile treatment of horses suffering from the
epidemlc now so prevalent among these
animals. Dr.. Elliott advises that the sta
DIe pe Wen ventilated, the horses blanket
ed and chloride of lime sprinkled through
the stable every morning. The nostrils
should be sponged out two or three times
a day, II the mucus adheres thereto. The
food should consist of bran with a little
oats, and moderate quantity of nav. If
the bowels are costive, half-pint of raw
linseed oil may be given but It is proba-
BILE that the mash will cause sufficient re-
taxation.


Prescription No. (given below should
be administered every morning and eve
ming. If the throat should be sore-which
can be ascertained by pressure of the hand
upon the larynx-about two table spoon
fulls of prescription No. (also given be-
low should be rubbed in. So long as the
disease is confined to the larynx there is
but very little danger, but should it de-
scend to the lungs-which will be indi-
Gated by the continued standing up of the
animal, cold extremities and labored
breathlng-a halfpound of mustard should
be mixed with two ounces of turpentine
and water to the consistency of thick
cream, and the mixture rubbed well in

HERALD is reliably advised that it's sta. ement was
correct in every particular Furthermore, James
has since been waited on by Mr.. l. II. Geary chair
man of the special committee, but as yet no de-
cided action has been taken. The report Is current
in Trenton that ScOvel Is strongly disposed to show
fight, but his friends advise him that his better
plan is to yield to circumstances, and to prove to
all that he Is filed with love for the liberal cause
rather than for his own personal ambition.
