utiYe Officer Of the Tallapoosa, testified: was on
board on the night eff the collision and had turned
In and was asleep; was awakened by crash and
prolonged whistle; l knew nothing regarding the
collision previous to my reaching the deck; on
reaching the deck from my room ] noticed lot of
wreckage on the pilot house; then around for
ward OF the deck house from port to starboard and
saw schooner alongside of US with her bow about
and about drifting clear of us; heard the captain
Lieutenant Commander Merry, hail the schooner
and request her to anchor somebody replied ''What
for? to which Mr.. Merry replied, Because we are
sinking, and want you to stand by;'' on making
my presence known to Mr.. Merry he ordered me to
abandon ship, and also heard him give the order
from the paddle box just before that; / then went
to work and attended to my duties as executive Off
Ger, getting the boats lowered and people in them,
amending to the starboard boats first then ran
AFT, and went up the port rigging after the hurr-
cane deck was about washed with water and
remained there until taken off; Mr.. Merry
ordered me to order the boats to carry the
people aboard the two schooners which were at an
Choir, and afterward to return for US; ON arriving
aboard the schooner was ordered by Mr.. Merry to
take the gig and seorch for launch which we had
aboard: l took the machinest with me, and after
searching for about half an hour returned without
finding her; while was away she was picked up by
one of the other boats and anchored; in the mean
time the Gate City came along and took us to Woods
Holl, where We we're transferred to the Fish Com
mission steamer Fish Hawk; the boats were secured
for completely except the life boat she did not
have her cover ON the Taapoosa sank three or four
minutes after reached the deck; all the men were
ordered to be picked up before left the rigging;
erything possible done to save life and every
body worked, quietly, quickly and unselfishly.

BATES COLLEGE.
Bates Boys Solid for Blaine and
Logan.
LEWISTON, Sept. 6

LEWISTON, Sept. 6.
The Bates boys are enthusiastic over politics,
especially the Republican faction. The DEM
ocrats are so few there can hardly be said to
be Democratic faction. What few Demo-
Gratis there are keep very quiet and seem to
fesl lonesome. The Blaine and Logan COM
pany took an active part in the grand demor-
stration of Friday night 1t was thier first
appearance on the street. The members were
all nicely uniformed in blue and white caps
with blue plumes, blouses to match, and white
buskins. They were headed by the college
band-20 pieces. In the centre of the compa-
ny was borne splendid transparency. Upon
the ends were painted pictures of the candi-
dates; upon the sides, "Bates College, and
"Solid for Blaine and logan" The fine APP
pearance OF the company upon the street was
due to great extent to the successful manage
ment OF its captain, j. j. Bailey, '87.
On the following morning Judge West, the
eloquent blind orator for whom the boys evinc-
ed great liking on the previous day, spoke to
the students in the large chapel. He was re-
ceived with storms of applause when President
Cheney introduced him. After mentioning
various reasons why he felt interested in the
people OF Maine he gave some good advice
moral as well as political. AT the close Of his
remarks which were frequently encored, the
President OF the B. and L. club proposed three
cheers which were heartily responded to.
THAT is worth travelling q thousand miles 70
hear" said Judge West. An informal recep-
ton then took place. The boys were all intro
duced, thus having the pleasure of speaking
to and shaking hands with the distinguished
orator. CA. 8.

uence the band played and the great crowd
shouted for Mr.. Blaine. In response Mr..
Blaine advanced to the entrance of his resi-
dence amid storm of cheers, and addressed
tne assembled people. In giving his reasons
Tor not voting on the constitutional amend
ment Mr.. Blaine said:
The issue on the Temperance Amendment to the
has been very properly and very rigid
y separated from the political contest of the State
Today Many Democrats have voted for it and
some republicans have voted against it, but the Re-
publican party, by the desire of leading Temper
msnt men, took no action as party on the Amend
nlent. For myself decided not to vote at all on
sle question. l took this position because am
sossn Dy tne republican party as the representa-
i've OF national issues and by no act of mine shall
any question be obtruded into the national cam
Palgn which belongs properly to the domain of
State politics. Certain advocates of Prohi.

canvass thus tending to exclude from popular con-
sioeration the questions which press for national
oeclslon. III there be any questions that belong
solely to the police power of the State it is the
troi OF the liquor traffic. and wise men will not di
vert their votes to the question of Prohibition

addresses.
