Leaving for n moment the pluck hero of this much discussed exploit 1 wiall state the facts as far * T kiow them. Dalton left Fulkstone very early on Sunday morning in a life-bat, rigged with siils, called the Ocean " King. Three men accompanied him, two boatmen aund u young man who was to be tho histoian of the performance. In spite of a strong wind they reached Bou- logne safely aud at 4 0'clock the same after- noon, the wind having suddenly calmed down, Dulton jumped overbowd und started on his long swim bk to Tolk- stone, whore he ar as relted above, What happened in the meantime is only known to the two boatmen and the his- torian, The Ocean King, being a sailing boat, was of course obliged to tack frequently and was sometimes as muchas hulf ami distance from the swimmer. His really close companion was one boatinan ina little tender who mwed the entire distance from France to England as close as possibloto the swim- mer, serving as his guide and historian. This is the substance of hisstory: At+4 p. m. ouSaturday, the weather beingextremely favorable, Dalton jumped off the stern of the Ocean King about one hundred yavrds from the head of Boulome pier on the last wave of the tlood tide, which took him towards pe Grisnez, Hecontinued swimming with the last of the tide, Ho had nearly come ubreastof Cape Grisuez, whero he had to contond with the strong ebb tide sotting very fast to the southwest appar ently swimming quite 1y, and by oue or two short rests at 6 p.om, By 7 oclock Dalton was swimming well. He asked for someo refreshment and took a cup of meat ex- Lot by means of a it kettle, The weather was beautiful and the sea comparatively smooth, Very slow progress was made from Cape Grisnez on account of the strong tide that was runuing. From S to 0:30, though davk, it was seen with the aid of alump that his rate of progress remained about thesame, From 10 to 10:%0 his ad: vane was very slow and the night had grown cold. Small quantities of the extract were now administered often, By 11:0 the swimmer was outside Cape Grisnez with the wind rising considerably, later blowing cold from N. N, . Lightuing ws now playing frequently and by 2 o'clock the waler was smoother, but not much progress was mado, An hour took a rest ou his back. drifted a long way to the eastward answer to questions ho replied cheeringly: €O, I'm alivight” At 050 Varne light ships were reached, Dalton beingpeetty well fagged, haviug been in the water lourteen md and & bLalt hours. Nips of beef teacontinu8d frequent, The cbb tide set west from Varne, Atan unuswal pace at 10 a. m. he was swimming right agaiust the tioe off Hythe andjwaited for it to turn, The rost did him good, and he went off again wellun hour and a balf later, much exhausted and his strokes getting weaker, but be struggled on manfully and by 2 o'clock was abreast of Bund Gate, At 8 o'clock he was taking onger rests and it was quite painful to see s vistressed condition, Ouly within the Jast wile or so did he later a shower felland Daltow At daybreak he had In change his stoke, using the breast stroke alittlens he rested. His face wore a semiblind appearance. Within aquarter of a milofromshore he struck out quite power- fully again. Such are the features of the swim, according toreport, but the question s} what is this evidence worth, considering the very imperfect opportunities he had for judg- ing. I spoketo many people here who tal great interestin swimming, and 1 do not exag- gerite insaying that the general verdict is, “not proven.” T Dalton really sccomplished theunrivalled featof swimming the channcl on his back, why did e not take such pre- cautions as woull plice his laurels beyond dowbt?

New Yourk, Avgust 18.—The correspond- ence between Viee Presiaent Webb of the New York Central and Grand Master Work- man Powderly was made public tonight. August 16 Powie addressed o letter to Webb, saying he had been inwvesti- gating the cause of the Central strike andasking for an interview on Monday to discuss the matter of arbitrating the differ- ences which existed between the Now York Central and its Knightsof Lator enployes. Webb in reply grantedan interview, but at thesame time wished the matter to be pre- sented to him in writing. Powderly replied nest day, saying that he had been caled from the city and that he w cd to commit to paper whathe sould rather discuss personally, He say: SIE am correctly informed old and faithiful em- ployes of the New York Central have been summarily dismissed from the service of the compuny because they were active members of the Knights of Labor, It is represeited to me that up to the time of their discharge they were fuithful to the interests of the company and not one mark of discredit stands against the in- dustrinl record of any of those who weredis- chirge or briet 1s the statement of the men.

The interestsof the working people are the same as others, but their right to organize and select the ory ation they wish to belong to is fully as dearto themas their pecuniary interests can ‘m»i- bly be. Here is an organization, the aim of which is to work for educatinal and legis tive advantagzes, called upon to defend its members who up to the time of their dis- is long The intere of the conpa missal had worked only in an cducitionl and legislative dircction, Surely we lave a right to questin why they weredischarged.
