along the beach from Longport to Atlantic
Clty Is almost entirely destroyed. These
bOatmen also say that one large hotel,
number of smaller places and the entire
board walk along the ocean front of At
lantlo City have been washed
threa miles long and was lined
with expensive booths. bath houses, and
places Of amusement and it is presumed
that these, too, were carried away. The
inlet at the northern end of Atlantic City
IS also reported TO be flooded, and much
damage to property on that part of the
island must ensue. Altogether it may be
said that Atlantic City is in a very deplora-
bic condition.
DANGER OF THE INHABITANTS.
In order to render tue position of the
people on the island precarious it is neces-
sary that the water should rise seven feet
higher than it has ever beeu before. and
this fact leaves ground for hope that the
damage will be confined to property, and
that no lives will be lost. The place de-
pends on the outside world for its pro-
VISIONS, and unless communication is re-es-
tabllshed within twenty-four hours there is
likely to be a scarcity of food there.
All that has been said about Atlantic
City applies with equal force to Sea Isle
City. There are large number of resi-
dents at the latter place, and it is impossible
to obtain information as to the state of
affairs thore. As soon as the storm sub
sides an effort will be made to send a
steamer from Somers' Point to Atlantic
City. 1t will be several days before tram
can enter or leave that place over any Of
the railroads.
THE DAMAGE TO TRACKS.
No accurate estimate Of the damage to
railroad tracks can be made by the officials,
owing to the meager telegraphic facilities
available, but it Is known that many miles
have been carried away, and that weeks
will be required to place the lines where
they were before the storm.

LoNDoN,s LABoR CLASH.
Several More Wharfingers Concedt
the Demands.


LONDON, Sept. 1.-The negotiations be-
tween the representatives of the dock COM
panies and the wharfngers we're resumed
to-day. The conference was private, though,
with view to prevent subsequent mIsun-
derstandings, a stenographer was present
to transcrlbs the proceedings.
Cardinal Manning has postponed his iu-
terview with the directors of the dock
companies until tomorrow. Mr.. Burns is
i'll from overwork and is taking a days
rest.
ADDITIONAL sURRENDERS.
Several more wharfingers have conceded
the demands of the strikers. Nearly 1000
men resumed work this morning. The
strikers are as resolute as ever in the stand
they have taken. Their pickets display
greater activity, and have prevented many
patches of new mon engaged to take the
places of the men from proceeding to the
docks.
Another meeting of the strikers was held
at Tower Hill to-day. Mr.. Tillett and Mr..
Champion made addresses, in which they
congratulated the strikers upon an increase
in the subscriptions for their benefit, and
the better organized plan for the dislribu-
tiCn Of the relief funds They expressed a
belief that Cardinal Manning, who they
said WAS deeply impressed with the justice
and leg lity of the strikers demands, would
succeed finally in arranging a settlement.
GENEROUS AUSTRALIA.
Further contributions Of money for the
relief of tho strikers have been received
from Australia. The strike committee has
nearly 9l2000 in haud. The seamens
union hos sent IA request to the unions In
Australia to refuse TO unload vessels from
London loaded by "black-Iegs."
AT the meeting yesterday 1t is believed
the dock directors and shippers discussed
two schemes, the first for the payment OF
heavier dues, aud the second for direct en-
ployment of the dockmen by shippers. The
latter subject is a thorny one, and is likely
to lead to protracted discussion.
Cardinal Manning has addressed letter
to the directors Of the dock companies. A
reply is expected tomorrow. The docks a.
Liverpool are unusually active. Many
vessels are going to the Mersey in preference
TO the Thames.
