I, Juno 18.—There {3 to- night as much uncertalnty as to tho cause of the accident or number of lives lost in the ‘Long Island Sound calamity as at the time when the news of the disaster was first re- celved. Great complaint js made at the con- duct of the officials, who absolutely refuse information on oyety. point ‘Tho Ista’ of passengers are known to be incomplete, and there ig n growing feellng hero that the num- ber of lost is far greater than wag at first feared or the ofitcinis are willing to allow. Tho Captain of tho Narragansett is in New York, and his return is not expected ‘for some days at least.: One thing is certains the steamer was completely out of her course, and was being driven ‘aliead at fuil specd, notwithstanding the dense fog. This ts vouched for by those passengers who had not gone to bod when the collision occurred. They all agree that the speed was not less- ened. If it had been, they say, they would surely have noticed it, ‘They agree that the continued whistlings and the high rate of specd caused n feeling of nervousness, ro- marked at the time, and not shaken off by many, THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT is definitly sottled by Jotin Helly, ilrst-base- manof the Cinclinat! Basu-Ball Club, who got here to-night, and who tells a straight- forward story which reflects anything but credit on the management of the steamer, Me was in tho lower cabin aft, and was awakened by tho shock, which caused the Iamp close by to fiaro up and show him where the statra were. The Jamp was broken, but Reilly knows he was the first one to climb tho stairs, and he is pretty certalu that NOT A BOUL FROM TITE CROWDED CANIN followed, It took hin buta few moments to got to the top, and: tha large clock there was precisely at 11:50, thus settiing tho tne of the accident beyond question, ‘THero were a number of people left on the upper deck, and an attempt was made to Joosen the Hie-raft, but It was tod down go strongly that they could not move It, Not an axe was to ba found anywhere, and not an officer or sallor came to render assistance. Indecd, the only oficial thoy saw was the bow watehman, and ho was not on the deck until all hope was gone, and DID NOT OFFER IIS ARNVICES, When at last they got tho raft off and low- cred {t, a crowd from tho lower deck jumped on and capsized it, ond Reilly and about forty othora had no alternative but to jump over. Deforo doing so, however, ha pushed into tho saloon inan- awer to loud cries for help, and found a lady who had locked hor two children Iu thelr stateroom and had lost tho key, Tho solid door refused to yleld to tho welght of four mon, Not a tool could be found anywhere, and the children woro LEP? TO HURN TO DEATH, while the mother was swept away by tho crowd and lost sight of, It was at the gaugway at. this timo that a youtig man was seen to deliberately put a pistol to his right temple and blow his brains out, but the excited crowd puld no more ut- tention to it thun they would toa pop-gun, and tho body was trainpled under’ foot in the inost inutter-of-fact way.

She lies in seven fathoms of water, Sheds groundyi in tho westery extremity of the shoals... But forher sri, there she would have sunk out of sight. ‘The Master of a wrecking schooner reports that he Inspected the wreck In a diving armor this morning. A part of the port wheel-house of the Narmgansett was picked up early this morning in the ‘race. ‘The courses of the colliding steamers Iny toxether, but had the Stauing- ton sounded two successive witlstles instead of oneinreply to the signals of the Narra- enneett the uceldtent would in all probability not have occurred, No bodies recovered to-day.

He found the body of 1 child -about 1 year old. Nothing to identify it. CAPT, YOUNG. TIME NAMRAGANSIS si .COMSTANDENs STATE Boston, June 13,—Tho Herald lins the fol- lowing special from Stonington, Conn: Capt. Young, the officer who was Jn tem- porary charge of the Narragansett on the night of the disaster, during the yast twa days has spent his entire thno at the scene of tho necident, Ho has sald but little about the colliston and subsequent loss of ltccx- cept to oxpress tho belief that he was in his proper course when the snceldent happened, and that when al! the facts ara known no blame whatever can be nttazhed' to him.- “HE HRARD TIE WHISTLE! of tha Stonington at Intervals for several winutes before the collision, but could not exactly place her because of her lights beng indistinguishable through the heavy mlatand fog. He was proceeding cautiously ata very low rate.of speed, and was ninking his course, expecting to soon pass tho Nghtships of Cornfield Light. NE HEARD THE WARNING of Mr, Cook on the bow watch the moment it was given, and with the loss of hardly an in- stant ordered his engines reversed, and did everything to avoid the catastrophe. In re- gard to tho cause of the fire which followed the collision he did not exprevs even an opinion, and give the inference that he was as much in the dark us other people, With reference to tho behavior of his crow through tho trying ordeal of saving his pas- sengers he says no crew could tiave done more under the clreumstances, ‘The passen- gers, on the whole, behaved admirably UNTIL THE CHY OF FIRE was raised, and then they became unmanage- able, Through the coolness of his ofticers and men, every one of whom stood by their posts, many were placed safely on life-boats and rafts who otherwise would have been lost. In regard to where tho blame of tha collision should rest ha would uot exuress an opinion. It appears. from conversation with leading navigators of the Sound that Capt, Young has beon satling those waters the past thirty-one years, and was considered one of tho best pilots on {ft before ever take ing command of n steamer, which he has done for many years. * WRECK NOTES. .

Special Dispatch to The Chtcago Tribune. Menrott, Lato Co.,0., June 13,—Next to tho criticism of his mother, and tho faithful counsel of his wife, there 1s probably nothing to which Gen. Garfield attributes n larger mnensure of bis success in life thun to tho munty independence, tho outspoken comment, and tho searching gaze into all bis public acts which bave beon the con- stant chnructeristics of his constitucnta In thoold Ninoteenth District. “ I bave always felt,” sald he, In speaking to the people of Luke County: yesterduy, “ that your sharp, severe, just critics, and worthy, noble, supporting friends, always did what they belloved was right Thus far in my life I have sought to do what I could, according to my best Ight, Moro than that Ican-nover hopetodo, All of that T shall try to do; and {f } can continue to hayo the good opinion of iny neighbors of this dis- trict it wit ba one of the greatest of my satie~ a MAN 18 TO DE DEST JUDGED + by tho opinions of those amiong whom ho has lived, Gen, Garfield is one of tho pecultarly fortunate in that respect. From one end of the district to tha othor, ainoug itepublicans and Nemoersts alike, no one speaks of him but in the Innguago of praise, respect, love, and ad- miration. Tho saine statement applles ina large degreo to the people of tho Statentlurge. Buein his own district especially, among his old friends and nolghbors, bo stands ag tho synonym for all that is manly, good, und honest. There have been tines, a8 bo mors than Intimnted in tho re- marks just quoted, when ho and bis constituents differed widely In thelr viows regarding certain of his public acta, Among a people so aturdily honest and outspoken as the hardy, thrifty farmers of Northern Obla, nothing could havo been more natural. The faintest serabiance to anything Ike & wrong or improper course of conduct was onough to draw forth tho honest, pluin-spoken indignation of men who wore vot roudy to Justify tho slightest departuro from the Nine of right. It {a such criticlsin ns this to which Gen. Gurtletd apparently referred, and a man who cun retain tho good opinion of auch strict, impartini critics 24 thoso may woll number it a8 ouv of his greatest antisfactions, IN ONY OF SEVEMAL CONVENAATIONS which Tie Trineny correspondent had with Gen. Garfield during hls recent Journey from Chicago to Mentor, tho great represontative of the middie class in American tfe related an ine eluent which touched upon this charuvterietio of tho pooply In his district, It was at tho timo when he was belng mude a turget for the plane derots assaults which have long since been exe ploded and refuted to tha satisfaction not ouly of the Kopubiionns of the land but to most of the decent Democrats, The people of the Ninc- teonth District were diaplonsed with hia course, however, und some of tho mora exe citable. cailed bim ru sign his scat in Congress immediately, Ho didn't resign, but he proceeded to reason with bis coustitnents,—to show them that thoy bad entirely misupprohended bis motives; - tn short, that he wis right, and thit thoy were wrong. Intho light of tho. expiinition thoy saw snd admitted tholr error, und word even mero tuglincd to swuar by hit than befors. But tho inaldgnt shows that, while tho district bas always been the Republican stronghold Btate, Its peri aro in opondant ot any ono mun orset of men, and it thoy aro protty free to do thoir thinking, Thoy may occasions ally ga wrong, but thelr errors ure of tho head, not of tho heart, and whon those orrors ire cleared up, no peoplu on tho face of tho curth are-mory ready and willing to ucknowlodyo thalr mistakes, ‘Tho Commencement exercises and the reunion at Hiram brought tho General Inte contact with tanny of bla oldest friends, somo of whom he had not soon for years, ‘Thoy eamo froin overy dir rection, with henrta full of love and con- gratulution for thoir old comrade, A aurios of conversations with a uumbor of them only sorvod to vontirin THK TRUTIC OF THE STATEMENT thut, among those whu know hit bost, ho stands ag bigh ag tt tu posible Cor a mun to stand in tho utfoottons of ayreat pooplo, Four men whe ure wbout ws near to hint as soy of the old tram boys are Prof, Hinsdale, of Silrumi C. 13, Lack wood and J.
