Cottaox City, Mass., August 22.???The
United States steamship Tallapoosa sank off
hero last night. The survivors have landed at
Woodshall. She collided with a large threo
masted schooner. She lies with her mainmast
and the top of her smoke stack out of water.
The Tallapoosa is a paddle wheel vessel of 650
tons, and carries two guns. She is used as a

Till OFFICIAL REPORT.
Washington, August 22.???Commodore Eng
lish, acting secretary of the navy, this morn
ing received, the following telegram from Lieu
tenant Commander Merry, commanding the
United Stater steamer Tallapooia, at Woods
hall, in regard to the sinking of that vessel:
The Tallapoosa was sunk by a collision with the
rfFcccerJi nus 8. Lowell, about three miles east
ol Vineyard Haven at II :J5 last night. She lays in
n.id channel, in about ten fathoms of water.
I he teboouer struck on our starboard
fere rigging, cutting clear through to amidships;
sunk in about live minutes. The schooner was
dtniated about the bow. As far as ascertained,
I???aiKd Assi.vtnnt Surgeon Clarence E. Black and
George 15. A. Foatcr, landsman, are missing. Camo
to Woodshall at duyllght by th * steamer (Tate City.
The Fishhawk has gouv to the scene of tho wreck.
Picnic give me instructions. The wreck should bo
lighted for the safety of navigation.
The Tallapoosa left Boston yesterday morn
ing, with freight for Newport. Sho left the
Washington navy yard about July 14th with
freight for the northern yards. Secretary
Chandler joined her at New York with a
party of ladies and sailed in her to
lYrtimouth, New Hampshire, and vicinity.
The following is a list of tho oilicers of the
Tallapoosa: Lieutenant cominandor, John F.
Merry; Lieutenant W. II. Everett,Lieutenant
F. E. Beaty; passed assistant surgebn, C. E.
Black; passed assistant pay master, 0. C. Tif
fany: passed assistant engineer, W. 11. Tawnc;
matcc???J. W. Baxter, L. 11. Gallaghor and
Hugh KukL and postmaster clerk Jaraos
Bishop, Jr.
No definite information can bo obtained at
the navy department as to tho exact character
and extent of the'frcight and stores on the Tal
lapoosa. At the limo of the accident sho was
engaged in transporting freight to and from
the different yards, ana whnt sho had loft or
what sho had received at Boston, is
not known here. Secretary Chandler was
to hove joined tho Tallapoosa at Newport, and
xmc of his personal effects were on tno vessel
when she sunk. Commodore English at onco
telegraphed to. Secretary Chandler, in New
York, notifying him of tho accident, and also
telegraphed Rear Admiral Luce, nt Newport,
commanding the North Atlantic station, to at
once dispatch a vessel of his squadron, now at
Newport, to tho scene of the wreck, and to
take such steps os tho circumstances may re
quire.
HOW TJIK DISASTER IfAPPEEXD.
Boston, August 22.???Tho facts of tho sink-,
ing of the United States steamer Tallapoosa
-are as follows: Tho Tallapoosa, with
140 men and officers, was bound to New
port to take on hoard Secretary ChandldV. At
II o???clock last night, during a thick fog, when
three miles northeast of Oak Bluffs, Martha???s
Vineyard, she was struck on the bow by tho
schooner James S. Lowell, of Bath,
Captain Reed, from Balti
more ??? for Portland, with a
cargo of coal. Her side was crushed in, and
she sank in fivo minutes in about ton fathoms.
As she went down her whistlo was blown as a
signal of distress, and it was hoard by tho
Boston and Savannah steamer, Gate City,
bound for tho latter port. Sho camo up im
mediately, and with tho schooner Mary A.
Hood, who hnpponcd to bo in tho
vicinity, rescued tho crew, with tho
exception of tho surgeon and one man
who aro said to bo missing. Tho Gate City
blew her whistle and tho steamer Fishhawk,
lying at tho wharf at Woodshall, sent out
her steam launch. Tho Gate City lay to
until threo o???clock, transferring tho crew to
the launch. They wero all landed at Woods
hall. Tho Tallapoosa lies on what is known
as tho Squash meadow flat, and the smoke
stack anu top mast alono aro visiblo. Tho
schooner, James S. Lowell, also has on board
several of the Tallapoosa???s crew.
A MOST CARKl.KHH PIECE OK WORK.
Captain Itecd, of tho schooner James S.
Lowell, joys in regard to tho collision that it
was the most careless pioco of work he over
saw. Tho night was clear, tho lights of tho
Lowell were burning all right, and were per
fectly visiblo a long distance. There
-is difficulty In obtaining tho story of
the steamer, her executive officer
to whom tho reporters aro referred, declining
to make ony statement. One of the men on
the lookout on the steamer says he saw tho
but it would seem as though the officers in
charge of the schooner wero afraid wo would
not alter our course, and turned their vessel???s
head front the proper course. Now, it is a per
fectly easy thing to avoid a fixed point, but
when that point keeps bobbing around thero
is no telling what to do. The very way tho
schooner struck would indicate that she had
changed her course, coming, os she did, full
head into us, instead of grazing alongside.
The statements of others of the Tallapoosa,
however, would tend to show that a different
set of movements were followed. The general
opinion among the sailors h that the schooner
was going in auch a way aa to leave tho Talla-
E ossa the option of passing astern or across
cr bows. The Tallapoosa choso tho latter
course, and in endeavoring to glido in front
was run into by the schooner.
Says a sailor, who claims to have boon on
the pilot house ot tho time of the disaster:
???The captain, the navigator and the mate saw
tbe lights of the schooner, but disputed
whether it was a green or a red light, and fi
nally tho captain exclaimed???well, do some
thing, turn her ono way or tho other,??? and
then we struck."
Ono of the men at tho wheel declares
that they gave the order, "hard astarbonrd,"
when it ought to have been "nport." Upon
whomever the fault lies, certain it it tho
Bchooncr pluugcdlftill head into the Tallapo
on the starboard bow, and cut clear through
the timbers of the vessel, opening an immense
holo for tho water to pour
in. About sixteen men were on deck
of tho government boat. Tho watch on deck,
but according to tho statement of several of
tho watch, they and most of tfioir comrades
were asleep forward. Tho men of tho crow
below were rudely awakened by tho torrific
shock, and sprung hastily from their ham
mocks. The water flooded the berth deck and
instantly the sailors, abandoning everything,
rushed on deck through the debris. There thoy
found o confusing noise, resounding so ns to
drown all tho words of the officers, caused by
the escaping steam through the whistlo. The
steam was quickly cut oil, and then only tho
order of tho hour was heard: "Man boats,
abandon ship." There was no confusion, on
ly a great degree of hustc. Some 20 or 30 men
toak to the water instead of to boats. All
this happened in a little
over* five minutes. Tho Tallapoosa
hod already begun to settle, and in a fow
minutes her hull was completely submerged.
Not one of tho head officers had left the craft.
Captain Merry, Lieutenant Everett, Engineer
Town, Master Mechanics Stevens and Walker,
and four sailors took to tho rigging,
curinfcing that the depth of tho
water was not sufficient to
submergo the main top. Ensign Whittlcsy
and Mate Gallagher clung to Uio rig ropes.
Tho colliding schooner had stood by to aid,
and tbo boots made to her ns well ns to the
second schooner, the Mary A. Hook, which
was hove to in responso to calls for help.
Having placed tho men on board the
boots returned and took up tho
sailors floating in' tho water,
rescued the others from tho rigging. Captain

Merry was the last man
lieutenant Everett left only just before
collision, and reported tho fact. Several of
the crew of the steamer acknowledge tho
steamer to bo at fault. Briefly tho facts aro
Hint tbo schooner was steering southeast by
couth half cast, and tho steamer in an exactly
opposito direction, with tho sailing vessel
having the right of way by
law. Many of tho men wero o considerable
time in tbo water, ten of them being fished
up nearly half an hour after sinking. Num
erous wrecking schooners and tho steamers
Fishhawk and Verbena, are cruising shout
the sound in the vicinity seeking to secure tho
bodies of the drowned, and any wreckage that
may float. Later advice* from Cottage city

CAPTAIN REED???S STORY OF THI COLLISION.
Boston, August 22.???Captain Itced, of the
???choones James L. Lowell, states in relation
to the collision, that he was passing through
the sound last night with a strong southwest
???wind, having all sails set. Tho vessel was
going at least nine knots. v
f Tbe night was dear, hut dark. Wheh two mile???
away the lookout reported "a light ohejd. ???
hliortly It was seen to beared light, and I said,
speaking to the wheelman ???redjlaht. keep her
straight.??? I stood near the wheel during all the
time, and the course was not altered until the
word came that a green light could be seen. To
avoid a collision, seeing that the steamer wasi do
ing nothing to avoid us, I ordered the helmsman
bear down!out bafore It could be done,and be loro
my vessel &*d altered her course, the two vessel*
struck each other, their stems coming together.
Our vessel???s stem glanced by the Tallapoosa*,
and penetrated her bull. After the vessel had
stopped tbe steamer swang around alongside the
Low t il,and her crew might hare f umped on board,
but It was not then known what was the con-
dltion of either veaecl. After getting my family,
who were on board as passengers, into a boat. I
examined my vessel and found she waa leaking
Quite bad?*, though not in immediate danger or
sinking. Tbe Tallapoosa drifted away
from us, and sank within ten minutes,
before many of the officers and
crew bad left her. As she went down those who
could do so took to the rigging and were taken off
later. The schooner Marla A. Wood came along,
and assisted in saving the crew, and later apaasing
steamer, the Gate City of the Savannah line, wm
signaled, and came to our assistance. After all the
saved tad been transferred to her, sac steamed
away to Woodshall. Our vessel Is badly damaged
her stem being started and the wood ends??? injured.
6he made twenty-one inches of water in the short
time we were under way proceeding to V ineyard
Haven.
THE STORY OF THE COLLISION.
Boston, August 22.???Lieutenant Wm. H.
Everett, executive officer; Ensign Win. B.
Whittlcsy, and Mate Hugh Kuhl, with 100
men from the wrecked Tallapoosa, arrived in
this city to-night and proceeded to the navy
yard, where they go upon waiting orders.
Lieutenant Everett ssys he believes
the Tallapoosa did act in a
manner to avoid the line of water
which the schooner would cover, lie was not
cn deck at the time of the collision, bat from
the conversation he bos since had, he feels
convinced that tbe steamer was in the right.
The two vessels, he says, were coming in dia
metrically opposite directions. The head on
the schooner should have kept straight along,
and we should have pussdto one side of her,
rv
uLd Li
him. No nttempt was made to save personal
effects. Tho men wero later transfer
red to. tho steamer Goto City, of
Boston lor Savannah, which brought them
to Woods Hall. Tho mon. as above
stated, reached hero this evening, Captain
Merry remaining with a few seamen at Woods
Hall. Four men aro reported lost, but of
theso only two aro known certainly to have
perished. Surgeon Clarence E. Black,
nt tho time of the disaster, was below in
his wardroom. Tho carpenter's mate
being injured in tho hand when
tho mast fell, hurried to have-tho surgoon
attend to tbo wouuds. As ho was so doing
the cry of "Abandon shin!?????? rang out.
Tho two men hastened on uerk. Tho sur
geon made his way aft to tho hurri
cane dock. Hero ho stood under
tho awning, which was spread, holding fast
to tho settle. He did-not soom to realise his
perilous position, and when Lioutouant Ever
ett, perceiving him, called out that ho bettor
provido himself with a preserver,
tho surgeon responded: ???Whcro aro
they??????? Tho lieutenant? pointed them out,
but his friend did not inovo. Tho sailors hur
rying by heard the officer remark to him.
???Well, 1 guess this is tho last of Black,??? and
almost immediately tho vessel sank. It is
supposed that the awning prevented the offi
cer from clearing himself from the wreck, and
ho was immediately drowned. Tho second
tnon lost was the colored saloon hand, named
George'Foster, belonging in Norfolk, Va. Ho
bad quickly seized a life preserver, and rush
ing to tho hurricane dock, throw himself, pre
server in hand, over tho stern. Ilis body
struck upon ono of thd monkey rails and ho
was probably instautly killed.

THE HISTORY OK THE TALLAPOOSA???CHANGES IN TIIE
NAVA L DEHA KTMEXT.
Washington, August 22.???Tho Tallapooia
is a wooden side-wheel, double-cndcr steamer,
ond was used principally ns a transport and
dispatch vessel. 8ho was originally built of
wlute-ojik, at tho Boston nqvy yard, In 1863,
nnd waa rebuilt at Baltimore in 1874,
when extensive external improvements
were made, including a largo
and elegant cabin. During the
war sho did blockade- duty on tho southorn
coast, and was frequently used in tho trans
portation of troops and sailors. Since then
sho has been engaged in carrying freight to
the different yarqs. Sho was also in demand
ns a pleasure boat, possessing peculiar advan
tages and facilities for the accommodation of
passengers. Secretaries Robeson, Thompson,
Hunt and Chandler, have frequently used her
in making their inspection trips. Sho was
frequently tho subject of ridicule,but neverthe
less, was regarded as a good vessol of her
kind. Her average aptfed waa about ten knots
au hour. Her dimensions are: length on the
land side 240 feet, and extreme breadth 35 feet.
Her tonnage is C50 and displacement 1270. Sho
was rigged as a schooner, and carried ap area
of 4,300 feet of canvass.
During tho illness of President Garfield it
was contemplated that be should bo taken to
sea on this vessel, and arrangements wore
made for his accommodation, but the trip was
abandoned as impracticable, and the dying
president was taken to Elberon instead.
From a statement prepared by tho chief of the
bureau ofconitruction and repair, it appears
that the total cost of the Tallapoosa to October
Ut, If81, including all repairs, but without
the machinery waa $303,835. Commodore
English this afternoon telegraphed to Commo
dore Merry, at Woodshall, to allow those of
bis i Hirers whose services are not required, to
proceed to their homes, and to send the crew
to either Boston or New York,
as may prove most convenient. Commander
Merry fa to remain in the vicinity of tho
wreck to await further instructions.
Commodore Enrl English has started his
resignation as chief of the bureau of equip
ment and recruiting, to take effect September
6tli, which the secretary of navy has accepted.
He will then have been promoted to the grade
of rear admiral, and will leave New York
September 10th for Southampton, and assume
command of the European squadron about
September 18tb, in place of Rear Admiral
Baldwin, who will bo placed on the retired
list September 30th.
Commander W. 8. Schley, commander of
the Greely relief expedition, will succeed
Commodore English as chief of the bureau of,
equipment and recruiting.
Secrets rv Chandler, in accepting Commo
dore English's resignation, speaks in very
complimentary terms of his management of
affairs in bis office.
Instructions have been forwarded to Com
mander Schley, of the Greely relief expedi
tion, to discharge all ofthe enlisted men under
his command who are willing to leave the
rervisc. The vessels composing the fleet will
remain in commission at New kork until fur
ther order*. It is understood that Lieutenant
Emery, commanding the Bear, win be ordered
to duly on the new dispatch boat Dolphin, as
executive officer.
Albany, N. Y., August 19.???The following
was received to-day by Colonel Lamont, secre
tary to Governor Cleveland, who is at Upper
Saranac lake, with instructions to make it
public on receipt:
Albany, N. Y., August 18.1884.???Gentlemen:
have received pour communication dated July
28, 1884, informing mo of my nomination
to the offieo of president of the United State* by
the national democratic convention, lately assem
bled at Chicago. I accept tho nomination with
grateful appreciation ot tbe supreme honor con
ferred and a solemn seuso of the rcrpouslbillty
which, in its acceptance, I assume.
VIEWS ON THE PLATFORM.
I have carefully cousldored tho platform adopted
by the convention, and cordially approve tho
same. A plain statement ot the democratic laws
and principles upon which that party appeals to
the suffrages of the people needs no supplement
or explanation. It should bo remembered that
tbe office of president is essentially execu
tive in its nature. The laws enacted by tho
legislative branch of the government the chief ex
ecutive is bound faithfully to enforce, and when
the wisdom of the political party which selects one
of its members as a nominee for that office, has
outlined its policy and declared its principle, It
teems to me that nothing in tbe character of tho
office or the necessities of thwease requires more
from the candidate accepting such nomination
than tho suggestion of certain well known truths,
so absolutely vital to the safety and welfare
of tbe nation, that they can not he

effectual than an amendment to tho
constitution disqualifying tho president
from re-election. When wo consider
the pationogo of this great office, tho al
lurements of power, the temptation to retain pub
lic places once gained, and more than all, tho
availability a party finds in an lucumbcut, when
a herd of office holders, with the zeal born of beuo-
fits received, nnd fostered by the hone of favors yet
to come, stand ready to aid with money and
tmiticd political service, wo recoguizo in tho eli
gibility of the president for re-clection a mostse-
rleus danger to that calm, deliberate and intelli
gent political action which must characterize a
government by the people.
THE WORKING MEN.
True American sentiment recognises the dig
nity of labor, and the fact that honor lica In hon
est toil. Contented labor is an element of na
tional prosperity. Ability to work constitutes
tho capital and tbe wa'gcs of the laborer, the In
come of a vast number of our population, and
this Interest should be jealously protected. Our
workingmen aro not asking unreasonable Indul
gence, but ok Intelligent nnd manly citizens they
seek the same consideration which thoso
demand who have other lntercsta at
stake. They should rccclvo their full share
o??thc care and attention of those who mako and
execute the laws, to the end that tho wants and
needs of employers and employed shall allko bo
subserved, and the prosperity of the country, the
common heritage of both, be advanced.
MAS related to this subject, whllo wo should not
dlscouravc the immigration of those who como to
ark now ledge allegiance to our government, and
add to our citizen population, yet as a means of
protection to our workingmen, a different rule
should prevail concerning thoso who. If
they runic or are brought to our land,
don???t|intend to bceamo Americans,but will injuri

AGAINST SUMPTUARY LAWS.
In a free country tho curtailment
of tho obeolute rights of an indi
vidual should only be such as is essential to the
peace and good onler ol tbe community. The
limit between proper subjects of government con
trol and tboee which can tie more fittingly left to
with tho habiU and
snare not offensive to
the moral sentiments of the civilized world, and
which are consistent with good citizenship and
public welfare, are unwise and vexatious.
the qunmoN or transportation.
The coromcrco of the nation to a great extent
determines Its supremacy. Cheap and easy trans
portation should, therefore, be liberally fostered
within the limit of the constitution. The general
government should so improve and protect its
natural water ways as will enable the producers of
tbe country to reach profitable markets. The peo-
?? lepay the wages of the public employes, and
tey are entitled to fair and honest work which
the money thus paid should thus command It Is
the duty of those intrusted with the management
of these affairs to see that such public service is
forth coming.
THE CIVIL SERVICE.
The selection and retsntiou of subordinates in
government employment should depend on their
???iscrtaJned fitness and tbe value of their work,
and they should be neither expected nor allowed
to do questionable party service. The interests of
tbe people will be better protected, the estimate
of public labor and duty will be immensely im
proved. public employment will be open to all
wbo can demonstrate their fitness to enter it.
Unseemly scrambles for place under the govern
ment, with the consequent Importunity which
embitters offieial life, will cease, and the public
departments will not be filled with those who
conceive it to be their first duty to aid the party
to which they owe their place*, Instead of render
ing au honest return to tncpc-ople. 1 Micro that
S e public temper is aueb that the voters of tbo
no are prepared to support the party which
gives the nest premise of administering bthe gov
ernment In an honest, simple and plain man
ner, which is consistent with it* charter and par-
K ites. They have learned that mys-
ry and concealment In tbe management
of their a Skin cover the : tricks and betrayals
of rtaterrnsnthfp they require consists in hon*
etty sue frugality, a prompt response to the needs
of the people as they arise, and a vigilant protec
tion or all their varied Interests. If I should be
rolled to tbe chief magistracy of the nation by the
suffrages of my follow cltiaens, I will assume the
duties of that nigh office with a solemn determi-
Being, wbo, I believe. will
alwaya bless honest human endeavors in the icon-
acientiona discharge of public duty.
