ALBANY. n. V. Aug. GA reporter
showed General Master Workman Pow
derby the dispatch from Terre Haute
saying that the strike would not be or
dered by the federation. Mr.. Powderly
said that it was the first intimation he
had received of such action, but de-
clined to talk, saying that it
would not be policy for him to make
any comments upon it until officially
notified. He did not seem to be very
much surprised or downcast at the re-
suit, but went to his supper in good
spirits. Local labor leaders, however,
looked very glum and were evidently
very much displeased at the action of
the council.
Secretary Hayes said: IF the dis
patch is true it means a single-handed
fight with the Knights doing the fight
ing and the other organizations aiding
financially"

PREscorT, Ariz., February 25-The
worst fears of the Walnut Grove disaster
are more than realized, though particn-
lars come in slowly and are still meager.
Two prospectors arrived here late last
night from the upper dam. They state
that they camped above the dam Friday
night and that about l O'Clock Saturday
morning the dam broke and the water
rushed down the steep and narrow canon
in solid body eighty feet high. One
man was rescued from the top of tree.
Toe prospectors state that not even q
remnantsof the dam exists. The i'm
mense body of water, one and half
miles square and sixty feet deep, was
emptied in an nour. They had talked
with many persons from the smaller
dam, fitteen miles below, who said that
up to Saturday evening twenty i've bod
les had been recovered, but could give no
additional names. The survivors were
in the greatest Gestitution, having neither
provisions nor clothing. Gunny sacks
were being used in place of clothing. A
camp OF workmen engaged in building u
f1ume has not been heard from at all, and
it is feared all were drowned. No news
has been received here yet from Wicken-
| burgh or from other settlements below the
dam. More detailed particulars are
looked Tor now every moment.

which the majority of the members
OF the national executive committee
aud number of members of the party
at large are taking part, began here to.
day. Resolutions we're adopted congrat
ulsting the party upon its fight in the
campaign Of 1888, which was character.
lied by the "most extravagant, corrupt
and shameless use of money by the Dem.
ocratic and Republican parties witnessed
in the United States. Although there

there has been no change in policy cal

industrial Ciasses.'' Allegiance to the
Union Labor party is resffirmed and re-
newed efforts are urged upon the reforms
advocated in the platform of 1888 relating
to finance, transportation, land, and the
suppression of trusts, as all the evils
which now afilict the agricultural and
industrial classes have their origin in
these questions. The Knights of Labor,
the Wheel, the Farmers Alliance, the
Farmers Mutual Benefit Association and

THE BERING SEA MATTER.
The Report of Its settlement

The Report of Its settlement
D1scredtted I'm Canada.
OTTAWA, February 25-Sir John Mac
Donald announced in the Commons that
Sir Charles Upper, Minister of Marine
and Fisheries, at the request of the
British minister, has gone to Washing
ton to assist in the negotiations for the
settlement of the Bering sea dispute.
Mitchell, @ member of the opposition,
called attention to Washington dispatch
saying that England had abandoned her
intentions on the Bering sea matter on
condition of compensation for last sea-
sons seizures. He thought England dill
atory in asking for Canadian repre-
sentative at the last moment, and that
Upper was not we'll qualified to repre-
sent Canada. Sir John Macdonald ex-
pressed confidence in Upper.
1t is asserted that the negotiations thus
far at Washington are purely prelimin-
ary and that no settlement has been
reached.
ST. PETERSBURG, February 25-Baron
de Struve, Russian Minister at Wash
ington, has been instructed to present
the views of his government on the
pending Bering sea negotiations at
Washington, particularly touching the
points in the pro ,ection OF seals during

ARemarKabie Confession.

There has hardly been more trusted
leader in the last twenty years OF he
publican management" than Field
Marshal Hslstead. The place he has
occupied in the newspaper world has
been very conspicuous-almost UNIQUE
1t is only few years since he was actu'
allv put at the head of the newspaper
bureau of Presidential campaign, with
headquarters in New York, and with
autocratic powers. He is, and always
was, by nature at least, a gentleman, and
it is only the hard necessities OF
his cause that have forced him into
the strange attitude he occupies before
the public. And it is very doubtful If he
is more desperate than the rest OF tho
combination who seemed to have re-
solved to hold on to power and patronage
without much regard to the means en-
ployed. We wonder how many people
have noted his confession as to the pub
lication of the alleged ballot-box forgery
about which he was compelled to testify
on the 14th inst, in Washington.
The paper which he had got from For
aker, and which involved Campbell in
the ballot-box job if it were genuine,
also bore the names of Sherman, McKin-
ley and Butterworth. OF course it would
not do to implicate these men, 80 the
following happened, according to the
confession:
81 published the paper with Camp
BELLS signature, which thought was the
proper course. He could not be drawn
out in this matter and advised Foraker
to leave it to me as felt more competent
to take care of it. 1t was cracker that
had to be touched off at one end only"
The party chances were getting des.
perate in the last days of the Ohio cam
psign, and something in the way of a
desperate remedy must be applied. So
Foraker promised Wood he would help
him to be Smoke Inspector if "that
paper" could be got at once-a paper
limited at as having on it the name
of the Democratic candidate for
Governor. Wood got the paper, gave
it to Foraker, who gave it to Halstead
because he was "more competent to take
care of it," If il we're genuine it wounded
one enemy and three friends. So the
three friends were left off and the name
of the opposition candidate to be smit-
ten was alone published! The world
knows the rest. 1t was all forgery and
the whole matter appears to have been
the most disastrous as we'll as the most
disreputable performance ever under
taken by any set of political tricksters in
the history of American politics. In no
other age and in no other party could
such thing be possible; and yet these
are the men who have led and will still
lead the party, while the party itself, 30
far from rebuking this accursed business,
appears to be wh 1lly unconscious of any
duty in the matter beyond "a united
attempt to heal the petty differences in
Ohio" What shall be said of party
journalism that dares make no comment
On such an incident in the politics of q

Great Destruction.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
LOUISVILLE, KY, February 25.-The
storm OF Monday night worked great
destruction with the telegraph service,
and not wsrd of direct communication
could be had with the South. Until IL
o'clock tonight sll connection with the
Southern States was cut off, but at that
time the Western Union succeeded in
getting wire to Chattanooga. 1t is
impossible to ascertain anything about
the damage done to either wires, houses
OF people, or even to find out the area
covered by the storm
MEMPHIS, Tenn, February 25.-The
storm last night nearly reached the pro-
portions of cyclone. A new cotton
compress near the depot, brick mill
and the Northern Methodist church were
completely wrecked and many houses
damaged. Trees were uprooted and
tossed about like etraws. Ia the busi-
ness portion Of the city not much damage
was done beyond the tearing down OF
signs and the breaking of windows.
A severe wind and rain storm visited
Memphis again this morning. Bsyond
the general prostration of wires no seri-
GUS damage was done.
At Brownsville half the business por-
ton was badly wrecked. and many resi-
dences were damaged. So far no fatal.
ties are reported, but the lack Of wires
makes communication difficult.
LIMA, Ohio, February 25.-There is
heavy damage here from food. Many
county bridges are swept away, and alst
the railroad bridge of the Cincinnati
Hamilton and Dayton. No loss of life is
reported as yet, but there are heavy dam
ages to houses and crops.

LONDON, February 25-There is a
great deal of agitation in Parliamentary
circles over the allegations made by
Chamberlain in letter to the Times that
the Gladstone party made bargain with
the Parnell party to prejudice undenom-
national education by agreeing to
abandon opposition to Catholic schools
for Irish support on other things.
Morley and Sexton have been inter-
viewed on the subject, and deny any
such compact.
:. Cobb tRadical) gave notice in the
Commons today, that if Smiths motion
asking the House to adopt the report of
the Parnell commission, with Lewis's
amendment concerning the Parnellites,
carried, he would move a resolution
declaring that the House deplores
that it appears that at the time
the Parnellites engaged in the alleged
treasonable conspiracies, many mem bers
OF the Government, especially Salisbury
and Balfour, were in close alliance and
treaty with those members, and there
fore Salisbury and other memb bers of the
Government deserve the aeverest con-
demnation.

purN,x 'viz., February 25.-News
from the scene Sf the disaster comes in
slowly. Full lists Of the drowned are not
Known. and il will e several days vet
hefore thew are, kno wn, if ever. The
COM npany's camp, three lViles below the
lower dam, contained 12,S people two
weeks ago, and there were probably that
many there at the time of the disaster.
Besides these, there were twelve
families between the lower dam and
Wickenburgh.
HAIRBREADTH ESCAPES,
Mr.. Mills, courier who arrived last
evening, says he was awakened about z
o'clock in the morning by the shrieks of
people in camp, and yelling to his part
ner asleep in the same tent, he rushed
for the high ground some fifty feet dis
tant, up the steep bank of the caflon.
The canon was about 240 feet wide. His
partner stopped to grab his boots, and
was in the water up "a his armpits be-
fore he reached place of safety.
A PICTURESQUE SIGHT.
When he first saw the wave it was fifty
feet high, and cleaned in the darkness
with millions of phosphorescent eyes.
With terrible roar it swept down upon
the camp, carrying away tents, buildings
and cottonwood trees with which the
canon was filled. By the lower dam was
a building 240 feet long, set sixty feet
above bed rock and thirty above the sur
face OF the water. Every vestige of it
was swept away and no one would know
that dam had ever been in the vicinity
or that any life had ever been in the
canon.
A Los ANGELES PARTY's EXPERIENCE,
A party OF prospectors on their way to
the dam, were camped in Hassayampa

just above the narrows. One of these

turned today, reports that they had
feared rise of the stream, and meant tc
keep watch, but had gone to sleep, when
at about a. m. they were awakened by
a terrific roar. Looking up they saw q
wave thirty feet high approaching them
In its course trees two feet thick were
being twisted and snapped like pipe.
stems, and being dragged up by the
roots. They sprang to the side of the
csfion, fortunately near at hand, and
saved their lives, but lost nearly all their
camp equipage.

The roar of the stream was deafening
as it surged past, and the sight was
grand. Just below where they were the

several hundred feet high. The waters
leaped up and piled themselves on to
oBe another hundred feet high, and
then rushed through the narrow gorge
with an awful roar, stripping it bare oi
everything movable. and leaving only
the bare bedrock for mile or more.
Mills left the works at Noon and
walked seventeen miles to Brill's ranch
opposite Wickenburgh, whence he came
by horse to Phoenix. 1t was at the
lower dam that the principal loss of life
occurred.

PEOPLE who have houses to protect

Among the general puolic the under

ground for the attack made on that Off
