THE NEW DOMINION,

T'he Missing AtaIanta-A Relic of the
 Lost VesseI-Evidence Of a Severe Col
 Iision.
 ST. JOHNS, N. F., July 30.-The British barkentine Girl of Devon, Captain Grant ar rived here yesterday morning from Plymouth England, after a passage of twenty-seven days. She brought in with her large, white painted fgurehead, which the captain afirms to be unmistakably the head of the ill-starred training ship Atalanta. In accordance with the ordinary scale 1t would exactly fit ship ranging from TOO to 900 tons. It is the fig ure of goddess, and very similar to figures of Diana or Atalanta, as represented by Ro- man and Greek mythologists. It is three fourths length figure, with coronal fillet on the head The robes that, flow loose and gracefully over the figure are gathered by buckle above the knee, and few inches be- low the knee is truncated and takes fluent, wedge-like shape, where it enters the ships cutwater. As a considerable reward has been offered by the British admiralty for any authenticated fragment of the missing ship, Captain Grant will retain his prize until he reaches England in his own vessel. When Captain Grant first saw the floating figure, about 8 quarter of mile distant, there was seagull perched on the bust. The position of the ship at the time was latitude 46 deg 12 min. north longitude 9 deg 30 min. west. One noticeable feature about the fig urehead is the evidence of great violence, either by collision with ice or with floating wreckage. The large metal bolts that fast ened 1t to the cutwater are rudely bent and broken, indicating the application of 8 tre- shock to the bows of ship, and the lower part of the figure is broken and spln- tered, which tends to strengthen the theory of collision

The Spanish Outrages-Actton of the
 State ment-COrrespOndsnce to
 be Opened with Spain.
 WAsHNGToN, July 30.-The affidavit of Captain Parsons, of the schooner George Washington, which arrived at Baltimore July 27th, and which was boarded when of Cape Mazzi, Cuba, was placed in the hands of Sec retary Evarts this evening. The Secretary said that sufficient information having been received setting forth the facts as set forth by this and other outraged sehooners, the department had decided to open immediate correspondence with the Spanish Government on the subject. He had no doubt that the Spanish authorities regarded Admiral Wyman's report as point in their favor, and this would evidently con- front him in the discussion. The matter was discussed by MT. Evarts and the President after the Cabinet meeting to-day had ad- journed, when the course to be pursued was decided upon. The United States steamer Powhatan has been sent to the coast of Cuba to look out for American interests in that quarter. She will be charged with investi- gating the latest Spanish outrage perpetrated on the Baltimore vessel George Washington.

Tanners Vomiting Sophisticated by
 Nauscn-He Loses Half POund-But
 stia PIucI<ily Holding Gut.
 NEw YORK, July 30.-Dr. Tanner looked and felt better this morning than yesterday, when the weakening effects of his long fast were very apparent. Soon after three o'clock this morning he suffered from nausea and vomited some mucous, and in order to obtain relief drank an ounce and @ half of earbonic acid water. At four o'clock he drank some more and then went to sleep. At
 five o'clock he awoke seeming to be lively, and at 6:45 o'clock he arose and dressed and walked up stairs with firm step. He asked for piece of ice, which he chewed and lay down on his cot apparently somewhat ex- hausted by his exertion. pr. Tanner said he did not care to take ride and continued to lie on the cot till 5:40, when he sat up wrapped in a woolen blanket and read the papers and mails At 9:45 he descended from the gallery and began walking briskly and easily, making 9 laps or two-thirds of a mile iR Is minutes He then drank an ounce of earbonic acid water. He conversed awhile, and at 11:15 lay down and in 6 few minutes was sleeping quietly. Just before 12 o'clock he awoke, sat up in 8 chair with his feet on the table and glanced over newspaper
 Shortly after ? p. m. the doctor submitted to an examination, which showed his tenn perature to be 99, pulse IS, respiration 14, strength so kilogrammes. Sphymographic tracing showed less force and volume to the pulse as compared with previous tests His weight was 1264, showing loss of half pound since yesterday. About o'clock the doctor started for drive in the park, where his jug was replenished with spring water. The doctor partook of four ounces of it and then walked about a quarter of mile, and while return ing to the hall he was attacked with nausea and yomited a small amount of mucous tinged with bile The hall was reached at seven o'clock. The doctor was much fatigued and rested on the first floor a few minutes and then ascended to the main hall, where he again vomited He remained in the main hall till 8:45, when he had another attack of nausea and vomiting, making the fourth

Candidate Enclish,s Letter.


 INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July 30.-The follow ing is the letter of acceptance of ". H. Eng fish as the nominee for Vice President of the Democratic party:
 GENTIEMEN-I have the honor to reply to your letter of the 18th inst, informing me that was unanimously nominated for the office of Vice President of the United States by the late Democratic National Convention which assembled at Cincinnati. As fore shadowed in the verbal remarks made by me at the time of the delivery of your letter, 1 have now to say that accept the high trust with realizing sense of its responsibility and am profoundly grateful for the honor conferred I accept the nomination upon the platform of principles adopted by the con vention, which cordially approve, and I ac- cept it quite as much because ofsmy faith in the wisdom and patriotism of the great statesman and soldier nominated on the same ticket for President of the United States. His eminent service to his country, his fideli- ty to the Constitution, the Union and the laws, his clear perception of the correct prin- ciples of government as taught by Jefferson, his scrupulous care to keep the military in strict subordination to the civil authorities, the high regard for civil liberty personal rights and the rights of property, his ac- knowledged ability in civil as well as military affairs, and his pure and blamelesS life, all point to him a man worthy of the conf dence of the people. Not only brave soldier, a great commander, wise statesman and pure patriot but 8 prudent painstaking, practical man of unquestioned honesty, trusted often with important public duties, faithful to every trust and in the full merid- ian of life and vigorous manhood, he is in my judgment eminently fitted for the highest office on earth the Presidency of the United States. Not only is he the right man for the place, but the time has come when the best inter ests of the country require that the party which has monopoized the Executive depart ment of the general government for the last twenty years should be retired The contin- uance of that party; in power four years longer would not be beneficial to the public or in accordance with the spirit of our repub ican institutions, The laws of entail have not been favored in our system of govern ment- The perpetuation of property or place in one family or set of men has never been encouraged in this country, and the great and good men who formed our republican government and traditions wisely limited the tenure Of office and in many ways showed their disapproval of long leases of power. Twenty years of continuous power is long enough, and has al ready led to irregularities and corruptions which are not likely to be properly exposed
