ment of the docks bottom. The truth, as in
ferentially shown blythe last report, was that
the ship was badly docked, long portion of
her amidship's keel being left without support
The dock was tested by the docking of the old
frigate Franklin at weight of 1900 tons, and
beyond a temporary settlement of a small
fraction of an inch, which afterward disap-
peared, there was no effect visible The report
has started gossips to limiting at the possibility
of structural weakness" in the ship itself

1t is not likely that Capt. Sampson, who is
about to be relieved from the Naval Academy
will suffer in any way on account of the
charges that have been preferred against him
by two of his servants, but there may be a
general order issued soon putting q stop to the
practice of hiring two servants out of the al
lowance for one, and thus technically present
ing false vouchers for the money. This has
been the custom at the Academy and yards for
many years, and after this fact was explained
to the Sec. he cooled down considerably from
his first state of indignation against the officer
Representative Mudd has been constant caller
at the Dept. Of late, urging that Capt
Sampson be brought to trial, but the Sec.
snubbed him the other day very decidedly, and
he is not quite as enthusiastic as he was.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

Meeting of the General Assembly ut Den4
YER Powderly's Advice as to the Tariff.
DENVER COL, Nov 12-Over 200 DELE
egates to the general assembly OF the
knights Of Labor were called TO order
yesterday by Grand Master Workman
Powderly, who after few remarks
read his annual address, and at its con-
clusion the assembly adjourned until
this morning for the purpose OF giving
the committee on credentials time to
prepare their report
In his report after reminding the
delegates OF tho fact that December %
the order would enter upon its majority
as an association Mr.. Powderly said:
For years the most importent OF q
series Of questions that has agitated the
people OF all nations is that Of tariff and
free trade. We have not as an order
adopted tariff or anti-tariff clause in
our preamble and do not advise such
q thing now. We should, however,
throw open the doors OF our assemblies
for the discussion OF this great problem,
so that our members may become edu-
Gated in the basic principles OF protec@
ton and free trade. While we do
not allow the question inside OF
sanctuaries, our members are
asked every four years in the United
States and every five years or oftener
in Canada to register their votes either
in favor of or against protection My
recommendation is that on and after
January l. 1891, 1t shall be permissible
for local assemblies to discuss the ques-
ton of high tariff and free trade. By
putting the question In this shape,
Which will bring the greatest good to
the greatest number, high tariff or free
trade? we do not commit the order to
either school, and yet allow our mem,
bers to take up for discussion and aglta-i
ton that vital question"

Three Large New York Banks Narrowly Es-
cape Suspension.
New YORK, Nov l2.-Rumors OF
trouble among banking institutions
we're current all day in Wall street.
but no one paid much heed to them,
thinking that they we're the usual ema-
nation OF bear minds. After the close.
however, 1t was learned that three
banks members Of the New York Clear
ing House Association, had difficulty in
settling the claims Of the other banks
against them. There was q balance
against tho Bank OF North America OF
81, 400, 900, which 1t was unable to set
tie The other banks wero the North
River and the Mechanics & Traders.
How the heavy balance was created
against the Bank OF North America
was puzzle. 1t was thought that the
Arm of Decker, Howell & Co had over
drawn their account to that extent but
this could not be definitely ascertained.
During tho day the Mechanics &
Traders Bank made its settlement with
the clearing house and the other two
banks received assistance from the
other banks in the association and
pulled through all right
At the Bank Of North America 1t was
stated that the trouble was directly due
to the account Of Decker, Howell & Co,
and that now the account OF that firm
was closed, the bank was in stronger
position than ever.
The most important factor in the de-
velopments was the scarcity OF money.
Right up to the close it was in great de-
mand and one-half per cent. and legal
interest was charged on loans, equal to
$50 per cent. per annum.
Oliver Peabody, OF the banking house
OF Kidder, Peabody & Co., expresses views
OF the situation which are worth re.
Numbering, because they are tersely
and clearly stated and are comprehen.
sive. He says: ''While imprudent busi-
ness mon are at present spreading adj

than that tho commercial trade Of the
