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 dispatch boat. It is stated that two lives have been lost by the disaster. 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.

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.

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 to lcavo his vessel, CLEVELAND ACCEPTS. HIS LETTER IN ANSWER TO HIS NOTIFICATION. Opposed to Presidential Efforts for XU-Elootion- The Pcoplo Should Not Bo narrosssd by Of fice Bookers at tbs Folls-Tbs Reports of the Working Mon, Xto.T 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 report that four person* wero drowned from the Tallapoosa, Dr. Clarence E. Black, sur geon; William O???Donnell, teaman of Bos ton: William Jones, lansdsman, of Wash ington, and George Foster, colored saloon boy. 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 Clrent "Nnvee." 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 too often recalled or too seriously enforced.

J when suffrage ted, the fill _ people will be at lmud, And . .... .... (his end not one would. In my Judgment, be more 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 ously compete with those Justly entitled to our field labor, in my letter accepting the nomina tion to tho office of governor, nearly two years ago. 1 made the following statement, to which I have steadily adhered: ???The tailoring classes constitute the main part of our population.' The protected In their efforts peaceably to rights, when endangered by steadily adhered: ???The UhoringJHHMMRIIIIH | the main part of our population. ??? They should bo their aggregated capital, and all tho statutes on this subject should rccognlxo the care ot the state lor honest toll, and be framed with a view of improvlntrthe condition of tho working man, a proper regard for the welfare of the work- liigtnan being inscpcrably connected.

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.
