THE YACHT RACE.
The MayfIower and caIatea Arrives
SafeIy-The Empire State.

SANDY Hook, Sept. 10.-The heavy fog
which settled down over the bay off Sandy
Hook and drifted far ont, yesterday after
noon, completely hiding from view the con-
teStants in the yacht race and all water
craft, did not lift as was expected, and many
narrow escapes from disaster are reported.
Most of the vast fleet of sailing craft that
accompanied the racers preferred to anchor
in the lower bay after the race was declared
off, rather than risk a run up to New York
in such a fog. The Galatea was among this
class and by the skipper's advise the anchor
of the cutter was dropped just outside Sandy
Hook, where Lieutenant Hem and his party
remained all night Early this morning she
was towed up the bay and is now riding at
anchor at her moorings off Staten Island.
The Mayflower went up to her berth this
morning somewhat later. 1t seems to be the
prevailing opinion in New York that the
Galatea is no match for the Mayfower in
any wind or sea in which the sailing quail
ties of either may be put to severe test.
On this point all yachtsmen seem to agree.
The Mayflower is by far the fastest and bet
ter boat, everything being equal. The ques-
tiOn has arisen whether the Galatea has been
sailed as we'll as she might have been. On
this point there is considerable difference OF
opinion, but it is a generally accepted fact
that the cutter was not nearly SO well
handled as the Mayfiower. The steamer
Empire State which went ashore at Sandy
Hook yesterday, was assisted of during the
night and towed to New York, her fires hav-
ing been drowned in order to prevent an ac-
cident. All the passengers who had re-
mained on board of her during the night re-
turned in safety She was to return with
her passengers to Providence to-day.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Professor Pow
ell, director of the Geological Survey, expects
the members of the survey who were sent to
Charleston to make observations OF the
earthquake to return in few days. From
the preliminary reports already received 1t
is evident that some very interesting, and
probably some very important scientific facts
have been discovered. Several hundred re-
ports have been received from persons IN
the centre of the earthquake region. From
these and the observations Oh the govern
ment scientists, Director Powell concludes
that the earthquake had its centre in North
and South Carolina, to the northeast OF
Charleston. The land area OF the earth
quake was one-third of the total area OF the
United States, and the maps whlcn nave
this distance in Is minutes. The earth.
quake did not come from the direction OF
Bermuda, Mr.. Powell asserts. Director
Powell says that the scientists will be agreed
as to the main facts OF the earthquake.
The complaints that the war department
has not done what it could to relieve the suf-
fering in Charleston by sending tents are
not justified. The departments supply. OF
tents was nearly exhausted by the contrlbu.c
tions ordered by Congress for the relle1 OF
tents were never returned. In the present
instance there was no authority given by
Congress to lend the tents, and, so far as
the technical law goes, it is quite proDaD lie
that the officers of the war department may
have violated the law in authorizing the
loan.
The Charleston relief committee OF the
chamber of commerce of New York met to-
day. 1t was reported by Treasurer Brown
that up to the present time he had received
subscriptions amounting to $33,122 out OF
which the mayor of Charleston had been
paid draft of $20.500, leaving a cash bal
ance of ST., ,622. Since yesterday the treas,
urer has received $7,122, which included
$500 from Jay Gould, $500 from United
States National Bank and $500 from Robert
Ienox Kennedy.
Minister Phelps has been instructed by
cable to convey to the lord mayor of London
grateful Acknowledgements of the President
of the United States for his generous offer
to open subscriptions for Charleston.

THE MAINE CAMPAIGN.
Erery Indication of a Sweeping Re-
publican Victory.

AUGUSTA, Sept 10.-Ih answer to inquir-

telegram:
HDoRs. REPUBLICAN STATE CON-,
AUGUSTA, Sept. 10, 'S6.
: Whitelqse Reid, Manager NJ Y. Tribune,
Nelo York:
In elections other than Presidential years
since the Republican party came into power
in 1856 the Republicans have carried the
State by an average majority of 9,1ol. The
largest majority was in 1866 when the he
publican majority was 1000 This was the
year following the close of the rebellion, in
which Eben f. Pillsbury ran for Governor
on the Democratic ticket and General Cham
berlain was the candidate against him. In
1878 there was majority of $4,000 against
the Republican ticket. The average total
Republican vote in these years has been 3d.
0S2, and the average total Democratic vote
in these years has been 1884. The cam
paign for this year closes tomorrow night.
1t has been in many respects the most sin
gular campaign ever witnessed in Maine. In
every county in the State there have been
Third Party Prohibition nominations. They
have made very active campaign, having
speakers in every school district, and have
been in alliance with the Democratic party.
The Republican canvass has been made
with care and accuracy and gives positive
assurace of decided victory on Monday
next. We shall elect our Governor, our
four members of Congress, and have good
majority in both branches of the LegiSla-
ture, which will ensure an United States
Senator.

The Fishing Interests.

GLOUCESTER, Sept. 10.-Schooner Herbert
M. Rogers arrived this evening from Green
land, with 100000 fetched halibut, this being
the first arrival of the season from the
Greenland coast. Capt. Vele reports fish
scarce along the Greenland coast, He went
not allowed to enter Danish ports, and was
told that man-of-war was patroling the
coast to keep American fishermen out. This
they said, was in accordance with the treaty
between the United States and Denmark,
which forbade Americans fishing in those
waters or trading with natives. The Rogers
encountered much heavy ice, and being
threatened with seizure he sailed for home.
No mackerel have been seen in the straits of
having seen nothing of the schooner Seth
Stockbrdge, which sailed from here June IS,
for Greenland, and which has not been since
heard from. 1t is feared she has been
iammed in the ice and lost with all on board

REEDS ELECTION CERTAIN.
Wealthy and Aristocratic Mr.. clifford
Declines to Pool in-His Big Speech
es are all Sufficient.

Since the opening of the campaign there
has never been reasonable doubt of Con-
gresham Reeds reelection, and the only
question now in regard to it is one of majori-
ty. Republicans generally think that he
will have at least thousand votes to spare,
and one of the Democrats gave me the same
estimate today. The Democratic opposition
to Reed has very little heart in it. The bet
ter informed of the party know well enough
that he will win, and at least some of them
do not care. Mr.. Clifford, the Democratic
nominee, has not proved very strong can
didate, in spite of his rather painful efforts

are inclined to look askance at him as an
aristocrat, and he is by no means hand in

THE VERMONT ELECTION.
Complete Returns Show Decided
Republican Victory.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Sept. 10.-Com-
plete returns from the entire State, comprlS-
ing 241 towns, have been received here, The
vote in this election is larger than was antlcl--
pated by those most competent to Judge OF
the result. The main issue was the re-elec-
ton of Senator Edmunds, which is assured
beyond a doubt, as the figures show the ag--
gregate gubernatorial vote cast is 56,479, of
which Ormsbee Rep.) received 37,6S1 Shurt-
left (Dem.) 17,091; Seeley (Pro.) 1882; scatter
ing 267. Republican majority, 1888; plu-
rality, 20,590 The prohibition vote was
drawn mostly from the Republican party. In
1882 the aggregate vote was 81, ,S39, divided as
follows: Barstow Rep.) 35,S39; Eaton Dem)
14,446; Marten (Greenbacker) 1856; scatter
ing. s. Republican majority, 19, S29; plurality,
213,730. The Republican vote this year eX-
ceeds that of 1882 by 1872
The Democratic vote this year exceeds
that of 1882 by 2,525, the Prohibition vote of
this year being equivalent to the Greenback
vote of 1882; less four votes only. The diff
ference in the gain made by Democrats and
Republicans this year is 6S5.
The representatives elected are divided
politically as follows: Edmunds repre-
sentatives, 155; anti-Edmunds representa-
tives, 6; Straight Republicans, 45; Prohlbl-
tiou representatives, q; Straight Democrats,
27; Edmunds Democrats, 4. Total-239.
Add this to the difference between the scat
tering vote in 1882 and that of this year 267,
and we have 932 which represents very near
ly the difference between the Republican
majority this year and in 1882. One hundred
and ten towns comprising the First Con-
