The convention OF the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, recently held at
Chicago, adopted platform that for
communistic and socialistic principles
gives points to most Of the advanced adj
vocates Of both schools. 1t Is unique
beyond expression, and is a strange
mixture of commonsense and imprac-
teal theories. 1tprovides for compulsory
education; direct legislation; a legal eight
hour workday; sanitary inspection OF
workshops, mines and houses; liabili-
ties of employers for physical disability;
abolition of contract labor in all
public works; abolition of the
sweating system; municipal owner
ship of street cars, electric
lights and gas plants naturalization OF
telegraph, telephones and mines;
collective ownership by the people Of
all means of production and distribu-
ting, and the principle of referendum
in all legislation.
THE News does not wonder that with
all this work before it the convention
refused to touch upon the tariff. 1t is
too bad that the leaders of great labor
organization should seek to hinder
the real work OF that organ
ization by the adoption of such o hodge
podge platform, instead of attempting
to perform their legitimate work of ac-
complishing needed reforms for the bene.
fit of the working people,

Schooner Nickerson Badly Budetcd
by Wind and Wave
THE MARYLYMBURNER WRECKED.
Captain and Crew Believed to Have Per-
ished-A Series of Storms That Were
Fearful to Experience Encountered
by the Brave seamen.

BosToN, Dec 15.-Seldom has vessel
been subjec ct to so many rebuffs and hard
ships in single voyage as occurred to the
two-masted schooner j. Nickerson OF
Portland, Me-, Captain Winslow, bound
from Perth Amboy, N. j., to Portland,
which arrived In this city yesterday after
noon in tow of tug Kate Jones.
In her present condition the Nickerson
presents sorrowful sight. Her main
gaff Is hoisted halfway with portions OF
the mainsail hanging in ribbons. She Is
badly iced forward, being encased in ice
TO the depth OF several inches.
The Nickerson left New York on Dec. 4
and on the third put into New London
during snowstorm for shelter While
anchored in that harbor she was fouled by
the u. S. S. Dispatch, carrying away her
jibboom. Securing new jibboom she
started for Portland, and all went well
until last Monday, when, OF Nauset, a
violent northwesterly gale came up, dur
ing which she was driven back to an
anchorage off Chatham.
On Monday night while riding out the
gale with two anchors down she lost the
port anchor with Is fathoms of chain
Notwithstanding this she managed TO
hold on until the next morning. when the
gale moderated. The Nickerson then got
under sail with fair wind, but after get
ting into Boston bay the wind shifted to
nortlrs est and commenced TO blow heavy,
with intense cold. All that night heavy
seas swept over the forward part of the
vessel freezing as fast as it fell and form
ing heavy coating
Several attempts were then made 70
reach Gloucester, but they were unsuc
cessful, owing 10 the heavy gale After
being buffeted by the gale in Boston bay
f-:ts4 hours Captain Winslow finally dc
cided TO run for Plymouth for shelter
and when Off Salem sudden flaw Of wind
struck the vessel with terrific force, leav.
ing the nlaiiisail in ribbons and carrying
away the jib, besides doing other minor
damage.
During all this time the crew was nm
able TO hoist any of the head sails and
everything forward was frozen stiff, even
the windiuvs cUufd not be muuipufutCf.
The vessel remained tight, however, and
mt . o'clock yesterday morning she was
picked up by the tug Kate Jones just be
low Minots light and towed 20 Boston
The Nickerson will in all probability be
towed TO her des nation
Five Were Drowned.
BANGOR, Me-, Dec. l5.-fhe schooner
Lymburner Of this place, reported
wrecked at Edgartown, Mass, sailed from
this port, lumber laden for New York, on
Nov. l6, C.G. Stearns & Co. being the
shippers. The owners last heard of her
at Tarpaulin Cove on Dec. 8, and heard
nothing of her loss until informed last
night. On board of her were Captain
William Pickett of Brewer and a crew Of
four, two of them the captains nephews,
Malcolm and Irving Fickett of Harring-
ton. The other two sailors are not known
here. The captains wife is seriously i'll.
The family had not heard of the loss until
last night.

ln recent interview in regard to
the prospects Of silver bill passing
both houses Of Congress before the end
OF the present session, Congressman
Wilson, of West Virginia, is reported
to have said:
"The chance Of bill passing the
House largely depends upon the com.
m'ttee on rules. They are to report a
resolution on Thursday. If the reso.
luton merely calls up the silver bill
for discussion, nothing will be accom-.
plished, as but twenty-four working
days remain and appropriation bills
will take considerable of the time. so
that the discussion on silver can be
prolonged until the end of thu session.
II the committee reports rule reouir.
Ing final vote on the silver bill on a
c'rta'n day and the House decides to
vote on the measure, l am satisfied
that the bill will pass the house. In
the Senate, however, there is a suffi.
Gent minority against the repeal of the
Sherman law to absolutely prevent the
passage Of bill at this session."
"You do not consider the outlook
very encouraging for a bill reaching
the President before March 4, them"
NO, the time is too short in my
opinion, for the repeal of the silver law
at the present session."
