that il may accomplish its glorious mis-
sion. we now appeal to the people, the
true sources of all political over"

government of the national organization.
among them a rule that the national or

Resolved. That We. the members OF

Brutal Treatment of q Sailor,

Philadelphia, Jan. IA remarkable
tale of brutality at sea was told today OF
United states Commissioner Craig at
the hearing of Horatic S. Cole, mate
of tine steamer L. F.. Munson, charged
with brutal treatment of William Rut-
ley, the second mate and James Cor
don Bennett, a colored cabin boy.
Rutley has been in the German hos
pital suffering from injuries alleged to
have been inflicted by Cole. Rutley
shipped at Capetown and rhe trouble
began after leaving Barbadoes for this
port. He said Cole beat him with a
ropes end so violently that when he
threw UP his arm to ward off the blows
his arm was broken. Once, when de-
scending from aloft, Rutley declared.
Cole struck him senseless as he reached
the deck and then kicked him so bru-
tally tina he was unable to work for
five days. He said the captain encour-
aged Cole in his brutality. The inju-
ries were not attended to until h ship
reached this port on December 31st.
Young Bennett corrOborated this testi-
mony and Cole was sent to prison in
defaurt of bail.

DRIFTING FOR TWO WEI KS
The Coal King, Which Broke Loose From
Her Tug Has Been Tow,d into Port
All on Board are Well

Newport News, Va, January 14.-Af-
ter drifting aimlessly on a stormy sea
for two weeks, the barge Coal King. Cap
tain Nelson, was towed into port this af-
ternOon by the tug G.. w. Morse. The
Coal King left Boston on December 31St
the night of January 1st, her hawser
snapped. Owing to the intense dark
ness, the barge's signal of distress was
not seen by those on the tug. which with
two other bargeS in tow, proceeded on
her course. A fierce gale was raging and
huge waves broke over the vessel. The
crew hauled their nch over the star
board side, but the chain broke after
sixty-five fathoms had been let out. and
tempestuous sea. The main sail was
torn into shreds by the wind and her
spanker was lost.
When the storm subsidized the men set
to work repairing the damage sustained
by the barge. After drifting about six
days the chooner Jos. N. Elliott, bound
from Boston to Charleston. was sighted
was declined, as the barge had weather
ed the gale without serious injury and
was in nc immediate danger. Three days
afterward the British Steamer Green
brier was spoken. Captain Nelson asked
to be reported as needing a tug. which
was done when the Greenbrier reported
her. Last Thursday morning the tug G..
w. Morse, with two barges in tow bound
from Boston to Norfolk, sighted the
Coal King, and went to her assistance.
When the barge reached here today,
after her eventful IA all OF board
were well. and reported that the supply
of provisions on the barge would have
been sufficient to have sustained the men
for several weeks.
