The pnithA n tha rInfl

A writer in The Galveston News calls
attention to the fact that the greatest
damage done ON the beach during the re-
cent storm along the gulf coast occurred
after the tide had turned and commenced
to ebb AS the tide turned the velocity OF
the wind Increased, forcing the water in
ward while the receding tide exerted an
outward pressure, thus causing churn-
ing motion Of the water to and fro and a
whirlpool around every obstruction met,
wrenching to pieces buildings which had
fallen from their piling and undermining
the piling of those still standing. Fence
posts two feet in the ground, from which
the fences had been previously washed,
were torn from the ground by this churn-
ing motion of the water, leaving holes
where they stood from one foot to eight
cen inches deer. Chicago Times.

order was received here late yester.
day afternoon, it is said, from General
Master Workman Powderly ordering
all assem- blies OF the Knights of Labor

stated for ordering this withdrawal is
the aggressive attitude of the Fedora

is substantially the same that is in

lry-Knights OF Labor vs. Trades
Unions. The Federation of Trades il
a similar body to a trades assembly or
a central labor uDion-an organiza-
ton of mixed trades and labor unions
for mutual protection. Why Mr.
Powderly should have particularly Sc
lected this federation for his atten-
tons at this time is not clear. Il may
be that all local assemblies in the or

themselves from association with the
open trades unions.

The SEW LABOR PARTY
OF PHILADELPHIA WILL 60 TO
PIECES
Before a Candidate Is Nominated
for MayOr-POwderly's Order
TO the Knights

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December To-
The indications are that the newly
formed labor party in this city will go
to pieces before labor candidate for
Mayor is nominated for the spring
municipal contest. The split in the
convention held last Monday night
over the admission as a delegate OF
Gursuch, the anarchist, threatens the
most serious results to the infant
party. Not less that thirty Germans,
each having considerable following
in his local organization, withdrew
from the convention. The German
socialistic q cement in ths party claims
that the Knights OF Labor are endeav-
orinR to mould the party and the plat.
form according to their own wishes
without regard to the in erests of Ia
boring msn. This is the rock on
which wise political leaders OF the
other partiesprediCted the labor move
ment would go to pieces. Ia addition
TO the contentious and wrsnglings
between diverse elements in the
new party itself, another difficulty
arises in the shape Of outside iuhu-
ence upon the ward leaders by politi-
clans of the other parties. One Of the
leaders of the movement said yester-
day that he was becoming disguised
with the conduct OF sffairs and that
if he found his suspicious of political
trickerY IN the ranks verified, he
would Immediately withdraw from
the party. The fact that Henry
George, to whom the declarations Of
principles was submitted lat week,
expressed his dislpproval CT the docu-
ment has brought encouragement TO
many Of the most enthus sstic labor
advocates, and it is an open secret
that they are seriously considering
Withdrawal from the movement.

The "Ohiciel Messenger" CODfutes
the Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, December l5.-The
Oftciel Messenger confutes the articles
which have recently appeared in the
Russian press, generally describing
Gsrmany's attitude as hostile to Rus.
STA. The Messenger says: 1t is to be
regretted II at the press has been thus
deluded. Owing to their mutual vital
interests the relations between Russia
and Germany have become more con.
solidated. 1t has been proved by sew
eral trials that both powers recognize
these relations as important to the
welfare of both. Russia firmly in
tends 10 respect Geimany's special in
telests, and has reason to be assured
that Germany will continue to abstain
from any action affecting Russia's dig
nifty, or the interest which have arisen
through Ruesia's historical relations
with her Eastern coleligionists. Ger
many's it fluence will be exclusively
directed to maintain the general peacs
which Europe needs, and which the
Gear and Russian people ear nestly de-
sire. The more complicated and crit
ical political affairs are, the more i'm
perative it is to discuss them calmly
and with caution. On this account
there is less justification for the pre-.
cipitste and self opiristed character OF
the comments of newspapers, whose
voices are by no means unimportant
in international relations.
