CHICAGO, Aug. 31-At the Labor Congress
ole of the most interesting and profound
papers read was that on "Civil Law and
Labor Conflict" by DR. John Bascom, ex-
president of Wisconsin university. Papers
on Social Reform in Germany" by DR..
Zacner; "The Philosophy of the Labor
Movement" by George McNeill, and

The programme at the Single Tax Con-
gress was principally q long and unim-
portant discussion of the order of business
and platform the congress should adopt.
The platform was proposed by the Single
Tax society of Philadelphia, and while it
was not satisfactory to the scientists and
experts of the congress it makes clear all
single tax theories and embodies the latest
results of the students of the congress.
The platform is long one and the most
important parts are as follows:
Dispense with a horde OF tax-gatherers.
simplify government and greatly reduce
its cost. ssS...
Give us with all the world that absolute
free trade which now exists between the
states of the Union
Abolish all taxes on private issues OF
money.
Take the weight of taxation from agri-
cultural districts, where land has little
value apart from improvements, and put
it upon valuable land. such as city lots
and mineral deposits.
At the Social and Economic Congress
the entire proceedings of the session con-
sisted of a long discussion on the silver
question. which was brought about by
President f. Benjamin Andrews paper

allism.'

sion.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Aug. 3l.-News from the
storm-swept district of Port Royal and
Beaufort is still very meagre There is no
| telegraphic communication with these
places yet, the only news being obtanable
by mail. News received by The Chronicle
| brings the startling intelligence that sew
enty dead and swollen bodies have been
| taken from the Coosaw river by searching
| parties. Not one-half of the horrors of the
storm have as yet been told, as messengers
| from surrounding sections are arriving
hourly bringing news of deaths and terri.
BILE havoc, caused by Sunday nights gale
The result of the days work of the relief
party puts the number of missing at over
100, but owing TO means of communication
| correct lists of the dead cannot be OBJ
| tanned.
Bodies Found Lying in Heaps.
In several places along the Coo aw river
were found eight or ten bodies lying on
the bank close together. Graves were
hastily dug near the places of the discov-
cry of the bodies and without ceremony
| the storm victims were placed beneath the
| earth. Many of the dead were so far ad-
| vanced in putrefaction that the scene was
revolving and horrifying. The situation
in some localities is reported as being dis
| tressing among the negroes, only one or
! two persons being left out of families of
twelve or fifteen. To the extent of their
ability the people of Beaufort and Port
| Royal are rendering all the assistance in
| their power to stricken families who lost

Bad News Expected From the Islands.
Provision and clothing are being liber-

meas of a definite character has been re-
ceived from St. Helena and other sur
rounding islands. These islands for the
most part are thickly populated and it is
feared the loss of life has been very great.

Further Particulars from Savannah

will be much greater than was at first sup.

and the loss is estimated at S4O0 900. The

WAS IT A COINCIDENCE7

Our two friends, Editor Hays, of the
Sleepy Eye Dispatch, and Col. Frank
J. Mead, the well-known Washington
correspondent, have question Of hon
or to settle. Several days since Col
Mead, came out in the st. Paul Dis
patch with an article wherein it APP
peared that a Saltwater lumberman
had closed down his mill and dis
charged $50 men who had voted the
Democratic ticket, against his and
their interests, last fall. The mill fore
man demonstrated and inquired what
the men with families were going to
do. In last weeks Sleepy Eye Dis
patch, Mr.. Hays tells similar story,
except laying the scene of action in
this city. The reply of the Saltwater
lumberman, as we'll as Mr.. Hays
story are placed in the deadly parallel
for the benefit of our readers:

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.

What brilliant electrical display
was that of last Sunday night. The
whole Northern skies were in blaze
Of glory, turning an otherwise dark
night into twilight. The lights were
changeable. Some times they were in
the North only. Then they were in
the east and then in the west. And
then they were in the center of the
heavens, without any apparent con-
nections from the horizon. Now a
long flash of light would shoot up
ward like the tongue of a fire reaching
for, and licking its chops over the
prey. Then there were constant lash
es all over the n nth, shooting upwards
like the waves rolling over the pillows
of the deep. Now all had sank to the
horizon. Presently, blue patches, ap-
parently ds,commenced to ga her.
Quickly they spread, until the entire
Northern horizon was one vast blue
sheet of electricity. Then came zig
gag formation, running this way and
that, until finally they arose into i'm
mense blue columns, towers and
steeples of the buildings of an mag
mary world. This constant changing
kept up until early morning, and
made one of the most beautiful
Northern light spectacles ever visible
from this city.
