Capt. Mckay of the sunken vessel states

last Sunday. 1.-THE following day foggy
weather set in, but for all that we man
agod to feel our way along until Wednes-
day morning when We saw steamer
emerging from the bank of fog and
coming directly toward U.s." II judged"
said Capt. Mckay. '5lat when first
sighted she was going Mt the rate of 10
or IL miles per hour. AT that time we
could zee nearly a quarter of a mile
away and we were making about two
miles an hour with the light westerly
wind which prevailed. Seeing a collision
was inevitable, the alarm was given and
in less than three minutes from the time
the steamer was first seen approaching,
she crashed into our starDoard quarter,
almost cutting our vessel in twain. The
crew made rush fer the rigging to
save their lives. Fifteen of the men sue

VOICES NAMES SENTIMENT.
Hon. Charles I.ittlefield Doesn't Like
Manley's Surrender.

Thinks His Lack of Sense Exceeds That of
Delegate Plummer Who Wired Paper
That Mckinley Was Certain To BE
Nominated.
Lewiston, June ia special to the
Journal from Rockland, says:
Hon. Charles e. Littledeld, who is
slated to second Reeds nomination at st.
Louis was shown the dispatoh in this
mornings papers in which J. Fl. Man
Icy is alleged to have said that he gave
up the fight. He immed lately tele-
graphed the Maine committeeman and
Reed manager for verifcation.
1.-The answer is in the affirmative,
said Mr. Littlefeld to your correspondent,
81 shall telegraph him that I think his
lack of sense exceeds that of Stanley
Plummer, the Maine delegate, who
wired the New York Press that McKin-
ley was certain to get the nomination on
the first ballot.
None Of us thought" said Mr.. Little
field, that Reeds chance was bright
and shining one, but we are going to St.
Louis prepared to fight 1t to finish. I
believe there is more opposition to Nc
Kinley than really appear on the surface,
and that his nomination by one ballOJ
could be prevented, in which event Heed
stands more than a good show. Manley' .
work as Reed manager has been any
thing but satisfactory to the Speaker 8
friends in this state. and if he made the
talk asoribed to him by the United Press
reports he has clapped the climax.
1.-The only thing in which concur
with him Is that under no confederation
will we allow Reeds name to go on
the tickets second place. Reed himself
would not listen to such thing for one
minute. As for Senator Proctor of Ver-
mont. we shall oppose him as Vice.
Presidential candidate to tha very last.
The Maine delegates consider that he
has been acting the traitor to Reeds in
terest all along and that instead of his
being surprised at the action of Ver-
mont's state convention he well knew in
advance that was going to happen"
Mr.. Littlefeld could give no opinion
as to where the Vice-Presidential nomi-
nation might fail but thought j. Sloat
Fassett Of New York a promising oandi-
date. Mr.. Littlefield leaves for Port
land tomorrow morning, where he joins
the Reed Club and the Maine delegation
for ST. Louis.
