Montreal, June 20. -An inquest was held last night at Sorel on the body of Alfred Thibeault, one of the victims; of the Canada -Cape Breton collision. 011ie most important evl. deuce was given by Captain St.Louis Elie Bouille, pilot. The captain de- clared his convictioe that the Cape Breton was in the wropg, as she had borne down on them. Wlien the other ship came aboard he twice ash - ed the name of the pilot, and at last was told it was Theodule Ham- elin, of Deschanfea.ult. The pilet did not diecuss the matter one way or the other, but seemed very sorry for the accident. The mon of the Canada Mid to drive off some of those who came in the Cape Breton's boots, as they were trying to go through the staterooms and cabin, presuumbly to tind booty. Pilot Bout& said that Just as be came abreast of the buoy at St. Ann's he saw a boat coming from a northerly direction, making about east southeast. He heard one blase Up to that time he had seen only the masthead light, but as the on- coming steamer blew he saw the red light, and later the green. The one blast meant that the steamer want- ed to pass on the right. He did not think that could be done, and re- plied with two blasts, which meant "keep to :the left." The Cape Bre- ton replied by a single blast, which meant that she persisted in trying to pass to the south of him. The crash came less than half a minute later. At the time the signal came he was hugging the south shore to reach Sorel, and it was impossible for hins to clia.nge his course as, de- manded 'by the Cape Breton's signals. The Cape Breton was going at fair speed. A collier generally runs from eight to nine knots. The jury found that no person in charge of the steamer Canada, on which deceased was a passe ger, could be held responsible.

Long Bra.rich, N. 5., June '20 -Re- becca Tea,ynurn, a colored girl not over 20 years old, was murdered last night in the kitchen of Miss Lizzie Ball's flat, while no one but her- selr and the murderer were present. She came t� Long Branch a week ago to avoid Edward W. Brown, with whom she had lived in New York during the past three years. She was 'a,nxitme to keep her where- abouts unknown to hire. Brown, it is said, was seen and recognized in Long Branch last night. He, or a. man that it is supposed was he, called at the riall flat, where the girl eves employed, and asked to see her, but she was not in. He gave his name there as Brooks. He was seen, however, by several per- sons before or soon after this call, who, it is (teetered, recognized liim as Brown. A little later in the evening the murderer called, and was let in by the girl herself, who was ironing in the kitchen. It they had any conversation it must bave been in an undertone, as Miss Ball did not hear any talking, although she was dozing in an ad- joining room. All Miss Brown beard were the three sbots. One bullet pierced the heart and another pene- trated the forehead. The girl was dead when Miss Hall reached her wide. The assassin had fled. He was seen by the murdered girl only. No doubt he fired the shots while she was kneeling-, presumably praying for ber life.

The Steamer General Slocum Took Fire in the East River, New York, With Tragic Results. Passenger; Including Many Children, Jumped Overboard and Were Washed Away and Drowned, Greatest Loss of Life Was Caused by the Collapsing of the Ileavy Upper Deck of the Steamer. New Yoik despatch: Five hundred persons, mostly children, perished to -day by the burning of the excursion steamer General Slocum near Hell Gate, in the East River. The Slocum, having on board the annual Sunday echool excur- sion of Se Mark's German Lutheran Church, of this city, was on her way up the river te a resort on Long Island Sound. When just off about 125th street per- sons on shore saw smoke and flames spring from the upper part of the crowd- ed steamer, A paele ensued on the boat almost innuediatly. The crowds on the forward deck, panic stricken, began to spring overboard and to crowd the after part of the ship. The screams of the terrified passengers. could be heard on shore, and hundreds of small boats immediately put oa to the rescue. Owing to the rocks on either side of the chan- nel at this point it was impossible -to beach the vessel. The captain stuck to his poet at the wheel and headed straight thro-ugh Hell Gate for North Brother Island, where she went ashore in the shallow water. Several hundred feet of open water lay between the burniug steamer and shore, and many persons perished either in the water or on the burnine vessel when she was beached. It was estimated that the steamer car- ried more than 2000,persons. The General Slocum is tbe largest ex- cursion steamer in these waters. She has plied for years to Rockaway Beach, and could carry about 4,000 passeneere. People Jumped Overboard. A telephone report to the police head- quarters is that the whole upper por- tion of the boat is on fire, and that the hurricane deck has eared in. At least 100 people nave Jumped overboard. The steamer was surrounded with tugs and was towed to North Brothe- Island, where she was beached. An eye -wit- ness who saw much of what happened to the boat said: "The steamer's whistle was blowing for assistance as she came up the river. 1 saw several persons jump into the water before she was headed for the northwest shore of Brother Is- land. Her position made it impossible for those on board of her to reach land except by swimming. I saw perhaps afty or a hundred persons, mostly -womeu and children, jump overboard. Most of the throng was on the hurricane deck when we plainly saw a potion of it col lapse. Many must have been killed in stimtly. A TERRIBLE SCENE. Passengers, Many of Them Children, Jumped Overboard Rather Than Burn. The pastor of St. Mark's Churcb, Rev. Geo. C. Weiss, was on board. with all of his familie, and is was reported was lost. The boat caught fire in Hell Gate, and the flames had complete control be- fore any move could be made to cheek them: .Frightful scenes of panic fol- lowed. it was inmessible to run the 01111000th DISMISSED. Order in Council in His Lord ship's Case. G. 0. C. Was Guilty of Grave Insubordination. Had Every Opportunity to Appeal to the Ministry. Ottawa Dospetchi-The following is an extract from the report of the committee of tbe Honourable the Privy Council, approved by his Ex- celleucy the Governor-General, on the 14th day of June, 1001; "The sub- committee of the Council, ha.ving had under consideration certain recent public utterances of the Right Hon- orable the Earl of Dundonald, gen- eral officer commanding the Canad- ian militia, and a report in relation thereto by the eilnieter of Militia, report as follows; Oe. the 8th day of June, 1e01, the attention of the Minister of Militia was drawn to a despatch in one eit tbe newspapers of Ottawa, purporting to give a re- port of a ispeech made by Lord Dan- donald at a dinner in Moutreal, 111 which be assailed the Government, and particuiarly the Honorable Mr. Fisher, Minister of Agriculture, In relation to their action in militia affairs. On the Same day the Min- ister of Militia _addressed a letter to Lord Dundonald, calling his atten- tion to the report and inquiring whe- ther it correctly stated his utter- ances and the attendant circum- stances. fro this a reply 'wag re- ceived from Lord Dundonald, admit- ting the substootial correctness of the report In question, The Conetitutionai Position. "Lord Lundonald's general remarks s to what he calls political inter- ferenee, to: well as those in relation to the particular case which be mentions, indicate on his part a re- gretable failure to apprediate the principles of British constitutional government.

To Mb -committee, while drawing attention to the reasene which fully jitetify the etepe taken by Mr. Fisher, deem it wall to stet() that such explanation Is not a ne- ceroary part of the record. Even If Mr. Fisher's actioe had been as er- roneously istated, there would still have boon no justification for the course pure:led by Lord Dundonald. Lord Dundonald is an officer of the Canadian Government, a high officer, it is true, but still no official or Id.110 Government, subject to all the Rink tations which aro usually imposed on public officials In regard to the ac- tion of their superior °Moue. For an official to snake a public attack upon Minietere of the Government under which he serves is a proccea- leg so totally at variance with the principies which must necessarily ob. tain in the administration of mili- tary as well n,s civil affairs, that it cannot with propriety be overlooked. Grave Insubordination. "It is impossible to do otherwise than characterize the speech of Lord Dundonald as a Kravo ace of indiscre- tion and insubordination. In tlie subsequent proceedings further evi- dence rime been afforded of Lord Dun- donald's failure to appreciate the position he occupies as a. public offic- ial. It appears that he desired to make a further communication on the subject. Instead of sending this Com- munication to his Minister ho sent it to an Opposition Member? of Parlia- ment, and then forwarded a copy to the Minister, to wthoin It was de- livered at the very moment when, as previously announced, a statement was to be made in Parliament. Tho sub -committee deeply regret that an of of Lord Dundonald's lag li rank, should have been so misguided as to fall into these grave orrore, and to pursue a course, tweach, if ignored, would be fatal to tee dtscipline and subordination to constituted au- thority which are essential in both civil Government and military ser- vice. - . o ALL FORA MAN'S HAT boat ashore, because of the Hell Gate rocks on either side, and the captain kept her headed for North Brother Is - laud. Nothing could be ilono in the way of launching boats, and as the flames advanced the passengers began to jump overboard. They went into the river by hundreds. The disaster was witnessed by thousands of people from both shores of the river, and as rapidly as possible hundreds of small boats and launches set off to render assistance. With the boat burning under his feet, the captain stuck to his post in the pilot house, and the engineer remained at his post below deck until the boat was beached at the lower end of North Brother Island, off Port Morrison. Even then the passen- gers were not in a safe position, for they were some distance from shore, Hun- dreds of smell boats which were scat- tered about picked up those who jumped overboard as rapidly as possible. It is estimated that between 400 and 000 per- sons sprang into the water. An eye -witness said that the greatest less of life was due to the collapsing of the heavy upper deck. It fell with a clash soon after the lire started, crush ing hundreds of persons, who had gather- ed on the lower deck. 11 was then that the greatest panic ensued. There was a living stream of persons going over the rail into the water. As fer as eye- -mit:tosses eould determine the fire, orig- gated on the forward part Of the boat. 1ersons who saw the accident from the shore say that almost instantly persons elm occupied places on the forward deck le gen to jump overboard. Policemen in tile Bronx and Harlem saw the blazing le at steaming up the river, and imme- diately began to turn in alarms for am- bulances and fire boats. All the boats at North Brother Island were sent to the assistance of the people in the water, and as fast as they were brought ashore were cared for in the pa- vilions there.. The patients in Um hospi- tals on the islands became almost insane from fright, and at the terrible scenes they had witnessed. A large part of the crowd on the doomed steamer were children, and there was little hope for them after they had gone overboard. The current in the East River at this point is very strong, and scores of little ones were sucked in by the whirlpools at Hell Gate. One man who went out in it row- boat said that he saw at least 50 child- ren perish in tbese whirlpools before he could reach them. Persons on tugboats say that several hundred bodies have been washed ashore or were towed or 'car- ried in boats to the shore of North Bro- ther Island. Almost every other woman who was taken away was calling for her child. New York, June 15. -Captain William I Van Schack, who commanded the Slo• ; cam, bas been arrested. i At 1.45 20 unidentified bodies bad been Ilisted. All were women and children. No iSentilication was possible, es the first todies were recovered, as they were picked up at so many .ifferent places. -- sible government in a country of such vast extent an Canada it is found necessary to attach a special respo:a bility to each arnister for the public affairs of the Province and district with which lie has close political connection and with which his colleagues may not be so well acquainted. Mr. Fisher, while shar- ing with his coneagues that general respoasibility already referred to, represents in a particular manner the eastern townships of the 'Pro- vince of Quebec. If, when it was pro- posed to form a new regiment in this district, lie interested himself in the work and sought to make the organ- ization effective, he was discharging a duty both to the people of the district -and to his colleagues in the Cabinet, who would expect bira to inform himself of all the facts, and and advise them before approval by the Gehl:let of the propoeed ar- rangements. Me. Fisher's Position. "Mr. Fisher etaites that, so far as bie interference related in any, way to polities, it was not to give the new regiment a, political color, but to guard against that ver,i evil, which, be had reason to -believe, was oue of the causes of failure of some previous efforts to maintain ef- ficient military, organizations in the eastern townships. He interfered, not to have the regiment officered by hie own political friend:, het to see that capable militate?: men of all political colors receivedas far as possible equal consideration. That he did not seek to give hie own pol- itical color to the regiment is abun- dantly evidenced by the fact that of eighteen manes submitted in the ! list only ono was struck- out by him, and by the turther fact that a ' majority of 'the gentlemen chosen for ' commissions with his approval are Ids political opponents. In the case of the gentleman particularlymen- . tioned Ise Lord Dundonald as hav- ing been objected to, it bee been sbown that be had never been in any wee' connected with the militia., and therefore, wee not regarded oat a - suitable persoe to have the rank of major, and that Mr. Fisher reconi- • mended for the place another gen- ! tlemaii, who was n.190 a political op- ponebt, but who was well qualified . by military torvicie for a position of comratind.• "It should be added that at the time of tleallog with that isartieu- tar c.ase, as net forth by Lord Dun- donald, Mr. Fisher was not acting • merely so •a Minister socially in- terested. In the Eaetern Township nt- fairs, although hie position .would have given lime an undoubted right to advise. lie Virtlq acting for and with the Authority of the Minister , of Militia, Witte was absent front the capital, and 'therefore his Action had all the force and authority -of ac- tion by the responeiblo head of the Department of Militia and Defence. The Proper Course lerglected. "In View Of those facts It is dirt'- , Cult to reach any other conelusion titan that the action taken by Mr. • Fisher was entirely within his right and duty as a Cabinet Minister, and entirely in the interest of a. non-por- tiaan militia service. It la of import - twee to observe that the list from whieli otio name Wan etthlek Wars Yonne., Woman Leaped Fully Dressed Into River. New York, June 21 -The lieraa to- day says; Startled by the cry that a person had accidentally fallen ov- erboard from Canarsie pier in front of the Sunset Hotel lest evening, a well dressed yonag woman, pushing her way through tlie excited throng of men and weemen, leaped into the rescue, without waiting to remove her clothing. Slue leas Mrs. Xathryn Van Houten, aged 27, of No. 90 Stone avenue. The young woman swain to where a derby hat coeld be seen floating. Several men manned rowboats and quickly followed her, but the young w43nandisplayed lier ability as it powerful swimmer, leading them by several yards. She dived several time near the spot, Where the hat floated, but failed to find any one. Just then it was announced that the report of a man being overboard Was a mistake, that the bat bad] sim- ply blown from the head of a fisher- man, who had come in on a sloop which was being moored at the pier. Declining the aid of a boatman, Mrs. Van Houten swam back to the pier. She was pretty well exhausted when she revealed a nearby float. As she was being dragged from the water, Mes. -Van Houten sud- denly screamed, as her leg struck the point of fe sharp nail at the end of the float.
