No ecision has been arrived at as yet ith regard to what will be done ith the vessel itself. Copt. Walsh, a.rine superintendent of the P.R., is now in communication th several leading salvage firms f the United States, and he is waiting advice from them as to at should be done with the unken hull. If at all possible the hip will be raised and towed to lore, where the bodies will be aken out. This, however, depends pan the advice of the experts. "The only thing I can say so ar," said Capt. Walsh, "is that if, t is found possible to remove the rela.nd and get the bodies out of ,er it will be done, without any ueetion as to difficulty or ex- ense."

Vessel Abandoned to Interests of Underwriters. A despatch frol;a.= London . Says': Over a quarter of u. million -pounds sterling was paid oait by London underwriters in satisfaction of Eng- lish insuranee.inrterests involved in the loss of the Empress of Ireland. Now that the vessel has been aban- doned to the" underwriting inter- ests, the Financial Times says there is little doubt that the hull will be dynamited as soon as the silver and copper have been recovered. ¶Dhe total of these metals is estimated at $50,000. Under no circumstances, say the underwriters, can the boat be recovered at a cost which would pay for the operation, and the only object in once more raising her to the surface would be to place on record the fact that she was recov- ered. Their opinion is that the sooner she is blown up the better it will be for safe navigation of the St. Lawrence. PROSPECTS NEVER BETTER. Crops in the Western Wheat Fields Visited by 'Welcome Rain.

It has been said that re- sponsibility Lek the disaster to. the Empress of Ireland has been laid' to the charge of the St. 'Lawrence, but it must be obvious when two large steamers are approaching. cath other art night, and their na- vigation is such that both com- manders are able to give diametri- cally opposite accounts of it, . the sera is not responsible for their col- liding. It would .Happen in any sea. It would be most unfortunate, adds the paper, if the impression gets abroad that this great gate to Canada is peculiarly unsafe, and we are certain that the result of the investigation of the court of enquiry will not attach blame, to the seaway.
