an f>STRUrTITE DISASTER.

The wreck Of the whaling bark Atlantic, off
the Heads at IN FIR .nclsco, involved the loss
of twenty-nine lives. II tho tele graphic account
of the disaster is correct it is difficult To see
how the owners AMI agents "f the vessel can
escape condemnation for sending her To SEA in
q tuta ly unfit condition. The case indeed is
remarkable Cor presenting a monotonous per
verslty of ARRANGEMENTS W llch could hardly
have been exceeded had it been intended TO
east the bark awly. Tnat no such purpose was
entertained is eff,ctualIy demonstrated by the
circum stance that the Atlant was insured for
only small percentage Of her nominal value.
but such confederation of negligence,
blund.rs and recklessness Is seldom met with.
In the first pl see the vessel IS said to have been

MONEY And BUSINESS.

Recital Of the events of Wednesday would be

quickly met by shipments from Chicago aud

Canada, by shipmeDts of a large amount, said
t. be S7,5OO,000, from England and France,
by the arrival of nearly $1,000. 900 previously

Further signs of the trouble brewing In
labor circles were seen yesterday at the meet
ing of the Central Labor UDiJn. The discus
sions showed great bitterness. but the absence
of many Knights OF Labor delegates was even
more significant. Indeed, everything seems TO
indicate a speedy separation OF the worklng-
men of New York into two hostile classes OF
skilled and unskllled labor The former will
be united In trades unions, the latter In the
Knights of Labor. Later on hostility
among the different trades and the different
branches of unskilled labor may be expected.
The cause of all this is not difficult to find.
The labor movement in this part OF the coun-
try mas fallen largely into the hands OF un-
scrupulous aud ambitious men, who wish TO adj
vance their own interests at the expense oil
their ielloa -workmen. OF course trouble Is
the result.
