Atlantic Crrr. X. .1., July 11 A frightful aeckliMit torminattAl the Elk festivities at the lalct Camino Iaht night, tu which a large munlwr of persons sustained terrible injuries, from which .Hom will die. It was at 0:50 o'clock, when the grand exalted rnlerof the ISuiTalo body, Meade Hitwilcr. of Ilarrlsburg, had tlnished his atUlres at the Opening of thn so-.'hl session of the VAn, and was about to introduce James A. Armstrong, of New York, when a crack from the stand was heard. A nm.
racnt later the stand, upon which were almost a thousand people, slowly opened, -and ina.v. of humanity was precipitated to the ilnt iloor. a distance of twenty-five feet. Men, women und children were plunged into thu hole and upon one another. The cries, i.hrielc and groans were deafening, and the direst confusion reigned. An alarm was immediately .sent out, and all the physicians in town refiponded. The work of extricating the injured proceeded rapidly, and by 12 o'clock they were all removed to the hospital or the hotels. 15y o'clock more than 1.200 persons had gathered on the second iloor of the pavilion, anticipating a pleasant evening'.- enjoyment. The bands attached to the biting lodges had given
a tone concert, and CapL Sumuel Terry, of the Atlantic City lodge, had just begun the preliminaries of starting the social session. The night was a lovely one. and as the strains of the music tloated out over the ocean it seemed that a more joyous crowd could not have been gathered together anywhere. Uat there were several hundred of the people who had noticed the vibration of the Iloor. and left the pavilion fearing that the great weight would lead to its de
struction and the consequent injury of the merry makers. Among thov; cautious people were a number of 'the inember. of the Camden lodge, prominent among whom were ex-Assernbly-man William J. Thompson and County ierk Robert J. Harber, of Camden. Fearing to create a panic, they quietly approached some members of rSit-.ng lodges and discussed with them the advisability of bringiug the
affair to a close, so as to relieve the

Iloor of a portion of the weight. While
they were yet talking, the crash came. A oort-on of the floor, some thirty feel fcqnare. located near the middle of the pavilion and near the railing on the board walk side, came tumbling down, bringing along prol ably 100 people. In a see-rnd the electric lights on the second iloor were extinguished, but luckily those on the lower Iloor kept liiirning long enough to permit some of the panic-stricken people to get to the stairtvay. which remained intact, nd reach the board walk. Men, -women and children were jammed together, trying to escape by the stairway, while the victims of the crash
were screaming for aid to extricate them from the fallen beams and timbers. When the first feeling of panic had subsided the surviving Elks gallantly rushed to the rescue of their injured brothers and friends, indifferent as to the danger that confronted them, as they did not know the instant the remainder of the pavilion might bury -them beneath its ruins. While the work of rescue was going on the lights on the first Iloor became extinguished and plunged the place into darkness. Men ran to the car barn of the trolley road near by and obtained a number of headlights from the cars. These were most useful in assisting the work of the rescuers. In the meantime, the people who were seated in the vicinity of the breakfound themselves in imminent danger of falling through the hole. Indeed, some were obliged to clutch the edge if the floor to keep themselves from falling through. Maurice A. P.odgers, ex-president of the senate of Xew
.Terser and a member of the f'nuiden lodge, was seated by the side of his wife in the section that fell. Mrs. Rodger was precipitated to the ground, sustaining only a nervous f fthck. Senator Rotlgers had both j hands caught between two beams, and hung suspended in the air until re-1
essen v some one unknown. An alarm of lire was turned in. but when the firemen arrived all the victims had been released. Ilefor-j the a-nval of the ambulances a number of omnibuses were pressed into service to ca-ry away the wour.ded to their hotels or to the city hotpital. , The x::tcost excitement prevailed p-vtrywhtr? on the streets and in the h tels. as it was not known just who had been injured, and most extravagant stories prevailed of the extent of the aeeiden. These stones arose from the fact that many women fainted and had o lc carried out of the Casino and conveyed to their homes in carriages and omnibuses.

Five hundred volunteers, headed by Commander Casalias, with arms, ammunition and horses, joined the rebel ranks last week. The men formerly belonged to the famous regiment of volunteers of Cutnajimiii. which in the war tun years ago rendered notable service to the Spanish government.
It is reported that Commander Casnllas was killed in the lir.st encounter his regiment had with Snanish troons.
In Puerto Principe, the Cubans loyal the Spanish government appointed a commission of three leaders of the first war and several other prominent gentlemen to go and get a conference with Maixmo tfome.. with a view of prevailing upon him to leave the island. Failing in their efforts to getan audience, the committee wrote Come, a letter stating their desire. He. it is said, relumed the letter unopened, with the statement that he knew its
content, through current rumors, uud that he could not consider the subject; that he was not disposed to leave the country, but that he would fight to the last, ditch. The government has sent most of its soldiers to Puerto Principe and Las Villa. The great strength of the revolution is at present at Las Villas, where there are great numbers of insurgents. Pour thousand under Antonio Maceo, are near San Luis, and are reported to be preparing for a concerted movement upon the government forces, Lieut. P.ercerra Romero, wb n .nr.

Many of the Spaniards here contiuue
to express a great deal of dissatisfaction with Martinez Campos' mild policy. They maintain that if the marshal does not begin a more active compaign and shed a little blood, as in the first war, they will compel liirn to leave. The sanitary condition of tlm ritv
continues very bud. From the 'J.'.th to
me -mil ol June there were seventy-
ueatns, twenty-six of whom were soldiers. The death rate for the past three months shows a frightful increase as compared with the same period of 1S9J. Last year the deaths fr April were CO; May 71, and June 33. This year's figures are: April 1.17, May 103. and while the June figures are not yet known, the indications point to bomothing over 3r:1. The death rate in Puerto Principe is very heavy, owing to the prevalence of yellow fever. Forty-five per cent of the deaths there are of soldiers. Since the beginning of the war Spain has sent to this island twentythree steamers with troop, SO.üO.I soldiers, '.so leaders and officers and three generals.

Shortly after 9 o'clock last night the quiet village of Eeonomy was awakened by a disturbance in the residence of .lohn .S. Duss. senior trustee of the Econoniite society. A desperate assault was made upon Mr. Iuss. and but for the timely arrival of assistance he would probably have suffered seriously. The assailant was John Weggle. a resident of Economy, and a very prominent witness in the big lawsuit in which Mi. Duvs is involved. It was through these lawsuits that last night's assault was brought about. In his first testimony. Wegglo testified against Duss. In evidence at another time he testified in favor of the senior trustee. 1 1 is alleged that Weggle had demanded that S.03 be paid htm. else he would again oppose Dnss management of the affairs of the society Last night Weggle called at the Dnss residence and again demanded the S.1.000. When refused Weggle struck Mr. Duss in the face with his crutch, daxing him for a momnt Weggle then began an attack upon Mrs. Duss; threw her to the Iloor and was just in the act of trampling her when a fourth party arrived and grablwd Weggle in time to prevent serious injury to Mrs. Duss. Mr. Dnss having recovered, attacked Weggle, dealing him several blows, rendering his assailant powerless, Weggle was then forcibly ejected from the house. Weggle'sstory Is that Duss attacked him and beat hhn with his own crutch.

The logitimato outcome of trying to protect al' industries (and thereby protecting none) is shown In an editorial in tho American Economist, of May 10. Home and Farm, of Louisville, Ky., asks the very sensible and pertinent question: "Why should wo protect sugar raisers against pauer labor anil not protect tho cotton planter against the pauper labor of Egypt,
and the wheat crower utrainst tho
pauper labor of Hussia and India?" To
wnicu tue American i.cotiomist uuikc.h
the following reply; "There Is no
reason why we should nrote.t the
sugar raisers from pauper labor and not protect the cotton planter. As a matter of fact, the wheat grower is protected and always has been under ,
a policy of protection. Hie cotton planters of the south have never asked j for nroteetion: thev have always .
claimed that they did not need it; but I we believe that the time is not very I far distant when they will find that ' the increasing imports of foreign cot- !
tons are tending to cheapen the value of American grown cottons. Wo want i no pauper products no pauper prices j
no pauper labor. Kentucky will be i
more prosperous with protection for !
all its industries, but nothing can be gained by narrow minded local selfishness. Home and Farm should know this."
The Economist believes in "cohnr it
whole hog or none." It knows that
duties on such articles as wli .nit, corn and cotton do not, and cannot, protect farmers. No duty on an article that is exported largely and imported not
at all, or but slightly, can be protective, unless the producers of such an article can form a trust and maintain prices at home above those for export. This, most manufacturer ein do, and many of them have done, but it is next to impossible for farmers to combine in this way. Consequently, they get only bogus protection from their duties. Hut supposing it were possible to protect all industries alike by protection; and supposing, moreover, thut the benefits of this nroteetion were
distributed evenly amongst all engaged in those industries including even the factory hands, who never receive any protection benefits, an.l never hear of them except at election times what would be the final effect
of protection? It would be that euch industry would be protected at the expense of nil other industries and what any one would gain by protection
would be lost by the time it had paid its share of protection to all other in
dustries. It would be exactly like a
game of poker in which each partici
pant had lost exactly as much as lie had won not counting time as of anv
value. It Is impossible for every one
around a gaming table to win more than he loses. It is equally impossible for every industry to gain more than it
loses by protection unless we accept as true the idiotic statement that the
foreigner 'pays our tariff taxes. There
is nothing in protection when it Is applied "all hands round." There is
much in it, for those on the inside, when applied to certain industries. Let us not deceive ourselves about it.

The hum of industrial activity ha
almost silenced the sinister nredietions
of the calamity organs concerning tho
disastrous effects of the new tariff.
Whilst in one column thev arc con
strained to publish accounts of the march of prosperity in nearly all
branches of trade, in the next column
thay "doctor" statistics in order to prove that the new tariff is 'ruining"
tho textile manufactures. They are obliged to record the retwrts from
Pittsburgh that all the leadintr indus
tries in that great center iron, steel, glass, farm implements, etc. are in
the full tide of prosperity. John Jar-
rett, secretary of the Tin Plate association, reports that "all the tin plate mills of the country are crowded with
the orders." and are "running to their full
capacity." This is one of the protected industries of which "ruin" wits. nn.
dieted under the deadly influence of
the new tariff.
With grim humor the rrreat indus
trial movement is described in lnrlir
organs as "a recovery fron democracy's
imgnt." What is most remarkable Is
that the recovery from the "blit-bf

the passage of the tariff of ISM the op
position to it, even in l"eniisylvnnia, had died away. The opposition to the
present tariff promises to be of still shorter duration.
For the nurnosu of makintr an offset to
tho innumerable repurts of industrial prosperity the tariff organs have raised a great clamor about tho enormous importations of wool and woolen goods within the Inst four montlis.and resort to the tricky device of making comparison with the corresponding period in 1591. when the niintrv tvns In tlm

I crating throughout a country makes the wages for the same labor uniform I in every part of it, as a dearth of labor in any one plncu cannot be of long duration while men are employed elsewhere. A recent supplementary bul
letin of the manufactures of the United States, however, says tho New York Sun, shows this general view to be
false. In Colorado the average yearly earnings of an employe of a manufacturing company was S720; in Montana, 722;
in Nevada. $715, and in Wyoming S70S. In the states wliere colored labor is abundant the total average earnings nie much less. In Alabama the average is ST.17; in Mississippi, $310; in North Carolinn. S307. In New York the average is "(); in Pennsylvania, S492; in Ohio, $479, and in Massachusetts S191. When it is considered to what extent the female and child labor enters into the factory operations in New York, the figures are surprisingly high. Tho total wages paid in New York manufacturing enterprises amount in ordinary vcars to $500,000,-0CÜ.
England stands at tho head in Europe as the best market for labor. Scotland and France are a little behind her. Then there is a heavy drop until Austria, the Netherlands, and Ilelgiimi are reached; tho scale goes still lower in (lermany, where the rate is the same us in Ireland. Spain, Sweden, Russia and Italy follow here in the order given. According to the table of liodio, an Italian authority, glass-blowers are the best paid mechanics in Italy, and paper-makers the poorest. Tho rate of wages in Italy, Iowas it is now,, w;:s still lower twenty-live years ago. In England an increase in the rate of wages has been about 20 per cent, in twenty-five years. A Freneli bricklayer now gets 50 per
cent, more wages than were tviid for
his work in Franca forty years ago. Boston Herald.
