Brown, proprietor of ‘the United States hotel, gave them a cham- Pagne dinner to-day in return tor the campli- ment paid him by naming tuetr mess in honor of bis hotel. Mr. Langley responded to the colonel in a neat little speech. Col. Moore, who has been in Washington since Tuesday, returned to camp yesterday to resume command of the battalion. Every man in camp turned out in full dress uniform to receive him at the depot, and the cordial welcome they gave him’ attests the sincere aflection they bave for their old commander, Messrs. Frank P. Madigan, J. K Pugh and A. B. Copper, acting in behaif of the captains of the several sailing vessels, tendered the use of their boats to tue corps yesterday evening.

The Nationals have never been able to defeat the Kansas City team, and yesterday they @ropped another game to the cowboys. The score was 6 to 2. Erroneous reports from Kan- sas City last night were that the Statesmen were victorious by a score of 6 to5. Shaw and Weidman were the piteuers and Gilligan and Briody catehers. Each side made nine bits,but the errors of the Nationals were eight to their opponents three. Other yesterday.—At St. Louis—Ma- roons, 1; New York, 12.

De Akers, master workman of Assembly 4026 of the Knights of Labor, was seen today by a STAR reporter, who questioned him as to Parson's letter attacking General Master Work- man Powderly, Mr. De Akers sald: “I bave read the letter as epitomized in Tax Srar. Parson’s attack on Powderly bas not even the weight of speciousness, He says, for instance, among other things, that the founda- tion principle of anarchism is the same as that of the Knights of Labor. Quoting his own ele- gant phraseology, 1 answer: ‘Whoever says so lies.’ Noah Webster is accepted as authority on the derivation, meaning and application of words. If my memory isnot extraordinarily treacherous, he defiges anarchism to mean want of government; a state of society where there is no law or supreme power, and where Individuals may do as they please. ‘The terrific force of the definition is tn the last clause. Tum Very certain that I represent my order when I Say’ that the tact of its existence Is a perpetual protest against the Goulds, Parsons, Pinkertons and Squires doing as they please. He says the present social system exists by force, yet evi- dently would be not unwilling to invoke force to subatitute the original by another forcibly sustained system. How atterly illogical 1s this when applied to a people who possess th elective tranchise. If the people won't vole tor his ideas, cam he expect them to fight tor them?” “Is Parsons, as he asserts, Knightof Labor?” asked Tus Stag reporter. “He may, as he says, been a Knight of Labor at some time,” said’ Mr. De Akers, “but the moment he became an anarchist he ceased to be so, Our constitution and pledges are very plain'as to what constitutes a member of the order. Murderers have been known to be Masons, burglars, too, at one time, bave been members of other honorable bodies. So, too, Mr. Parsons may have been at one time a Knight of Labor, but I assert that when he adopted auarcbism he cast aside the mantle of the order. “Is bis attack on Powderly likely to effect the latter's chances for re-election at the next gen- eral assembly?” queried THE STAK man. Mr. De Akers responded emphatically, “no, sirt I au no hero worshiper; but 1 am con- Vinced that Mr. Powderly will be re-elected simply because he represents (oat element in the organization which is determined to con- tinue the steady advance which has maintained a8 w consequence of our having, under our con- stitution, moved band in hand with the body of the peopie and in harmony with our natioual institutions.” ‘Mr, De Akers declined at this time to say any- thing as to the complexion of the District dele- gution Lo the genecal assembly.

A northeaster is just something terrific around this island, “White Wings” vanish and white caps come at one blow. The South Beach, about eight miles away, becomes, dur- ing high winds, an attractive point, as there the waves reach their best. Yesterday a long swell came up quickly, too quickly, to where @ number of ladies and gentlemen were stand- ing. It marked the handsomest lady for its own. It caught her, too. In her endeavor to escape its embrace she fell, and was being car- ried back in the encircling arms of old ocean, when a young man trom Washington rushed after the prisoner into the receding water and, reaching forth, grabbed her by her “big right arm,” and mid’ the huzzas of the eager com- pany, brought out his lovely burden, who, irightened and wet, was sufficiently herself to say: “less my rescner!” «TREASURY OFFICIALS TRAVELING IN STATE A few days ago the revenue cutter Dexter brought to these shores Chief Clerk E.
