SINKING OF ASHIP
A Sub-Officer of the Victoria Gives an
Account of the Wreck of the
Vessel.

Accident,
The Immediate Cause OF Which Was
On Order Given by Vice Admiral
-. Try0n.


VALETTA, Malta. July 3.-Notwith-
standing the efforts that are being
made by the naval authorities here to
prevent the survivors of the Victoria
disaster from giving any information
concerning the loss OF the vessel, your
correspondent has succeeded in obtain
ing from reliable sources full story Of
the casualty, the first report covering
all the details Of the accident that has
been sent to the United States. Most
of the men seen decline for obvious
reasons to have their names published,
but the reliability Of the interviews
following may be
Entirely Depended Upon.
A sub-officer who was attached to the
Victoria says:
THE feet was maneuyering when
Vice Admiral Tryon signalled to the
first division to turn l6 points to star
board. The object of this lnaneuver-
was to bring the ships in position for
anchoring. Vice Admiral Tryon either
forgot or mistook the distance between
the two columns. which were six cable
lengths e. 0O0 feet) apart The leading
turned toward each other in circle
the diameter of which was
three cable lengths 1.8O0 feet) and .
collision was inevitable. The Camper
down struck the Victoria on the star
board side, midway between her cat
heads and the turret. When Rear Ad-
mirai Markham saw that his ship was
bound to strike the Victoria he signaled
for the Camperdown's engines to be re-
versed 1t was too late, however. to
much check the Camperdown's head

down penetrate the flagship, but her
forecastie was showed 10 feet under the
forecastle of the Victoria. A bugle call
was sounded on the flagship, calling all
hands 10 their stations and the order
given to close the watertight doors in
the bulkheads minute before the col.
lision occurred. The Cainperdown, how.
ever, was swinging rapidly toward the
Victoria, and those on the flagship
scarcely had time to reach the compart.
ments before the vessels came together.
The water rushing into the shir
| through several of the forward doors
prevented the doors being closed. The
officers who were in the ward room fell
1 the shock. which was tremendous
l and heard the sound of tearing iron anf
the rushing of the water on board.

ClamorinR for Coin.

DENVER. July 8. The First National

for the miners are excited and talk
wildly of bloodshed. Those dismissed
from work were paid with checks on
the bank and they are clamoring for
coin. All business firms have shut

hourly velocity during the month was
twenty-five miles from the northwest, on
the 18th, while the eleven continuous
foggy days were from the 9TH to the 18th,
the fog being entirely dispersed by the
storm of the 18th and 10Th OF that month.
The next greatest number of consecu-
tive days with fog was January, 1885.
The least wind in 1885 was 3, 3,73S, and oc-
Cured in January, being an average OF
nve miles per hour, and the highest
velocity was eighteen miles per hour, on
the 10th, after which the fog occurred.
The winds of the past fifteen years
prove beyond a doubt that the months
with the least total velocity OF wind are
October and November, for in that num-
Der of years the least occurred in No
vember, six times; October, three times;
December, four times; January and Feb
ruary once each.
a theory can therefore be predcated on
the occurrence OF numerous foggy days
in this valley to be due TO complete satur-
alton of the earth with rain in conjunc-
ton with great amount of overfiOwed
land and stagnation in the atmosphere.
In the winter of lS74-75 there was a
spell Of almost continuous foggy weather,
lasting some four weeks.

Unsuccessful strikes, like the recens
railroad at Buffalo, building trades in
New York, and iron and steel workers at
Homestead, inevitably tsad to weaken
the confidence OF workinEnen in their
union. If it fails In the enc purpose OF
ITS existence. TO raise wages or prevent
their reduction, they have no further use
for it. If in prolonged and, to the men,
expensive contest with their employers
they are beaten, and forced to come to
their employers terms, they argue that
they can do as well without the union as
with 1t. In many cases, TOO, the prefer
ence employers give non-union men in
duces Withdrawals. Is has, We believe.
always been the casa, both in England
ness prosperity, whom labor Is in fair to
good demand at good wages, have been
pad tmes for trsde-unionisrn. Men
mock TO the unions when work is scarce,
and wages falling. and the prospect for
1uture employment dark. Industrial dis
turbance is probably AS often the cause as
lhe result OF tradcs-unionism.
More specific reasons for this reaction
against labor organizations may un-
uoubtedly be found in the blundering
management of the heads Of these bodies.
1t is a sad record, the story Of what
American Workingmen have been made
10 suner from the incompetency and
worse of these blind, and in some cases
dishonest guides. Their tyranny over
subordinatesi in tho unions, their arrogance
IN dealing with employers, and their cool
appropriation from the hard earned
money OF the members of the unions OF
large salaries Tor these services, have dis
gusted many, and made them non-union
men. They could not help seeing that
the only one to profit by such trade
unionism was the walking delegate or
the officers of the union, and the ones TO
suffer were themselves. Il will be CT edit
to the common sense Of the American
workingmen if they shall repudiate such
leaders and such trade-unioniSn. At
best a union is an expensive luxury to a
workingman with family and moderate
wages. a prudent man wants to be sure
he is getting hiE moneys worth from the
union, and when he is in doubt about it
withdraws.--Springheld Republican.

REACTION AGAINST TRADES UNIONS.
Comments of the springfield "Republi-
r

Comments of the springfield ''Republi-
cau'' Upon 1t.
There are indications of something of a
reaction against trades s-unionism among
the workingmen of this country. There
has never been a time when they were
anywhere near so thoroughly organized
as their fellows in England. A compare
lively small minority of American wage
earners have at any one time been what
is called organized. Such trades as the
cigarmakers and the locomotive engineers
may include most of their members i'll
their unions, ana there may be other
trades, like the iron and steel workers, of
which this is also true. IL may be also
true that the tradesmen in certain locali-
ties are well organized. 1T has been the
constant complaint OF labor leaders and
advocates of unionism, however, that
they could not get the men to join the
unions. TO the existence of this larger
number of non-union wOrkmen they
trace the failure of strikes, and declare it
to be the reason why many of the work
ingman's dreams of higher wages and
shorter hours fail to be realized.
Now comes the added complaint that
the membership in existing organizations
is diminishing, and there are certain good
reasons why this should be the case.
