KNIGHTS UNDER TIE BAN.
The X. of l.. Organization CONDEMNED by the
Holy See.

The ~ OF L.. Organization Condemed by the
Holy See.
QUEBEC, August 13.-Rome has finally
spoken upon the question of the Knights
of Labor. The society is unequiyOcally con-
demned by the Holy See, and the Bishops
OF the church are enioined to proceed
against it rs against all the secret societies
under the papal ban. Cardinal Taschereau
has just communicated this decision to the
public here in the shape of letter address
ell to his Bishop.
In his letter to the Bishops the Cardinal
states that in May last he represented to
the Cardinal Project of the Sacred Congre-
CATION of the Propaganda that divergences
of opinion had been expressed by the news
papers of Canada and the United States ON
the condemnation Ofthe Society. In Sep
tcmbcr ISL, il was pretended, he wrote
that the effect of his sentence stood SuS-

AwONDERFUL BOAT
That viii Run From Pittsburgh To New
Orleans and Back in "A Week.

Orleans anu lbaCk III q htch'
PIrrSEURGH, Pa, August l3.-An
order for iron plates was given to one Of
our rolling mills yesterday by John
Daugherty, of Mount Union, Pa, for Use in
an experiment which is scXpected to rcvolu-
tionize travelling by water. The plates
are to De used hy Mr.. Daughcrty in con
structing the folding paddles for patent
rapid transit steam boat which he is able
to build on the Allegheny river When
completed the boat will make 4
trial trip to New Orleans.
t. prove the practicability of Mr..
Dougherty's idea. The boat which is 10
test the usefulness of this patent, is to be
33 feet wide, lG5 feet long on the water
line. and 175 or lHO feet long on the deck,
and will be built entirely of wood. Its
weight. without the engine, will be about
Is tons. and when il has on board the en-
gine and go passengers, its draft of water
will be less than six inches. On each side
of it will he two folding paddles sinking
deep into the water, the paddles will be
open when going forward SO that they will
move the largest possible body OF water,
but the change To the backward motion
will, 10y the agency OF springs, close the
naddlcs and thus reduce the resistance to
a minimum. There will also bc under the
center of the vessel two propclling poles
which are intended 10 drive
the vessel through shallow water
striking the bottom of the river.
Mr.. Daugherty calculates that his patent
will so greatly increase the speed of the
traffic on the river that he will be able To
make the trip from Pittsburg to New
Orleans and back in \ week, the time now
taken by the fastest boats to make the
round trip Ia Cincinnati. The present
venture is made on river not because the
inventor believes that folding paddles can
not he used on the ocean, but because he
wished To make his first trial on water free
from waves. When he has once put his
principle successfully into practice he will
set to work to apply it TO ocean travel.
He is confident that he will De able TO re-
duce the time occupied in crossing the
Atlantic by the shortest route, that from
South Hampton to Halifax, to 81 hours and
that from New York to Calcutta to ten
DAYS.

AN OCEAN OF FLAME.
REPORTS OF THE FOREST FIRES IN NORTH
ERN WISCONSIN NOT EXAGGERATED
The Light Of Day Almost Shut Out by Dense Clouds
Of SmOks-Ths Flames Aided by the UnpreCe-
dsntsd DrOuth-Everything Dry as Ia Tin
dsr-WOrS; Thought 10 Be Over.

Fort HOWARD, Wis, August 13.-Re-
ports from the great fires in this region
have not been at all exaggerated, and it re-
auires but a glance to show that but little
of the real misery and destruction they
have caused has yet been brought TO light.
Fort Howard and Green Bay are enveloped
in dense volume Ofsmoke, and all around
the outskirts of the town can be seen the
flames rs they burst from the woods. Since
the train bearing your correspondent left
Milwaukee, the effects Of the late drouth
have been more and more apparent. The
railroad seems as though it had been built
by an unscrupulous Beard of County Com
missioners and contracts let to Us many
culvert-builders as possible. The road
north of Appleton seems TO consist of cul-
verts built without any cause, for
there is not sign of one of the creeks
which they are designed to cross. Every
thing is as dry as tinder, and the fences
and grass along the tracks are either burn
ed or are now burning.
North of Little Creek is, or rather was, n
large cranberry swamp for it is now per
fectly dry, and the bushes are all on fire
and burning tiercely. Here, too, the smoke
became more and more dense, and hung in
the atmosphere sullenly, rs though wait
ing an opportunity to settle down and en-
velop the country in Egytian darkness.
Over the water in Green Bay it descends
like dense fog in all but its color. The
smoke is light brown and the wind al
ternately clears it away and allows it to
gather again. The sun shines through it
like q huge orange, and casts sickly
shadow. The scarcity of water makes
every one apprehensive of fire, and the
proximity OF the forest fires are constant
source Of dread.
One of the most peculiar effects Of the
fire is the action of the animals, which
seem to be apprehensivc of some great dan
ger. The cattle and horses huddlc tOgeth-
cr. forgetting to feed, and stamp the ground
restively. Even the birds seem frightened
and fy around in an aimleSS sort of way.
Around Green Bay the damage has been
heavy, but the greatest loss has been Suf-
fered in the Oconto region. Dcpcre, too,
a village half dozen miles south OF here,
has suffered heavily Last Monday con-
hagration broke out and consumed fifty
one buildings, including a church and sev-
cral stores.
The fires, according to the latest reports,
are dying out, and unless a gale OF wind
should spring up, will probably cause little
more damage. The loss Of life, too, is less
than was anticipated, although doubtless
greater than has been reported. Commu-
mication with the timber districts is slow,
and Investigation will doubtless bring To
light great deal OF suffering.

ST. Louis Struck by n Hurricane.

Sr. Louis, August l3.-A violent wind
storm, which was almost hurricane,
passed over the city last evening. The
storm came from the north and passed
down the river, lasting for about half an
hour. The air was filled with clouds of
dust, which made it impossible To see n
block distant. Numerous smoke stacks,
awnings, and out buildings were blown
down. At East st. Louis the storm struck
the approach of the big bridge with full
force, carrying away about one hundred
and fifty feet of the woodwork on the north
side, and sixty on the south side, which
was tumbled on the tracks below. For
tunatclS no trains were on the track at the
time and the debris was cleared away in
time 10 permit the passenger trains To pass
over rs usual. reports from river points
above and below here say that the storm
was unusually severe.

FURIOUS WIND STORM.
Buildings Wrecked at Burlington-A Town
Almost Wiped Out.

BURLINGTON, IA, August 13.-This
city was visited by an exceedingly violent
thunder and wind storm last night. The
storm came from the West, and lasted
about an hour, though the winds fury
slackened within twenty minutes from the
time it first struck the city. During that
time, however, it wrought great damage
among the buildings, fences, trees, and
shrubbery in the city. The west wall
of the Steam Supply Company buildings
was blown in; the plate glass front
of Long Bros. extensive dry goods store
was demolished, lady being severely cut
by the glass: Wyman & Rand's furniture
and carpet establishment, and Donahue's
hardware establishment, were partially un-
roofet, while great number of chimneys
were toppled from the housetops. Some
of the trees on the hilltops were blown
down and branches wrenched from Others.
1t is rumored that several houses south
west of the city were demolished, but no
particulars are known. 1t is also rtimored
that Creston has been nearly wiped out,
and Mount Pleasant badly damaged.

TED BY ORANGENEN.


BELFAST, August l3-ap. m.-The ex-
citement occasioned by the riots has been
revived by an outrage committed by the
Oransemen of Queens Island upon a
Catholic named Johnson. The latter was
returning TO his home from work, when
he was seized by the oangemen and given
coat OF tar and feathers. The Catholics
are very indignant at the outrage, and vow
vengeance against the perpetrators. Fv
hundred additional policemen arrived to-
day. Since Saturday fifty seriously
wounded patients have been treated at the
Royal Hospital. Two hundred more have
been cared for at private surgeries, and il
is estimated that probably 300 Others re-
cciyed wounds in the riots whose cases
have not been reported.
The authorities have ordered all the
taverns closed at five o'clock this evening
and keep them closed until ten o'clock
Monday morning.

JORDAN AND FAIRCHILD.
The Former Opposed to the Latter's Policy
and MAY Resign.

WASHINGTON, August, 13.-The Ecen-
ing Star has the following: 1t is said
that Treasurer Jordan contemplates send
ing in his resignation. 1t is also said that
he does not quite agree with Secretary
Fairchild on financial questions He was
very much opposed TO the ten million bond
call which was issued yesterday. His
policy, which it is believed Secretary
Manning would have carried out, was to
call in 10 more bonds than the law re-
quired for the sinking fund. Mr. Fair
child is not so radical in his ideas on this
subject. 1t is thought that rs long as he
remains at the head of the department he
will act upon the policy indicated by yes
terday's call. In that case ii is asserted
that Mr.. Jordan will resign rs soon rs he
becomes convinced that Mr.. Manning will
not resume his place at the head of the de-
partment.

STATE OF THE CASE.
Statements Made at the Department Con-
eerning the Mexican Troubles.


WASHINGTON, August 12.-It is assert
ed at the State Department that there are
no fresh developments in the Cutting case,
and that the attitude of this Government
has not changed many respect. This case
is the fruit Of the natural friction or antag-
Onism between the systems of government
of two peoples who differ radically in char
acter and customs. The position we have
taken is based upon the assumption
that all the material facts and
the legal features of the case are
as they have been set forth in
the correspondence and reports already
made public; but in a matter involving
possible warfare, it is held to be incumbent
upon us to make sure that there is nothing
Of Importance beyond the official infOrma-
tiOn already in hand, and to this end the
best efforts Of the Department are turned.
The foundation once firmly laid, the de
ciSiOn will have to be made whether the
differences found to exist shall be recon-
ciled through the further efforts of diplO-
macy or by war; but in no event will this
Government assent to the doctrine that an
American citizen be arrested, tried and
punished abroad for an offence committed
within our own domain
