The Empress sank within fourteen
minutes. There was time only to

1,000 peasons were asleep and were
unable to get to the decks before
they were carried down in seven-
teen fathoms of water. Scores were

lifeboats and upon bits of wreck-
age were picked up by the D;oanin-

reached the scene of the disaster
from Rimouski
The ,survivors were taken to
• Rimousk,i by the Government
steamers Eureka and Lady Evelyn.
Later many were placed on a spe-
cial train and ate -sited for Quebec.
Captaiin. Kendall, of the Empress
was . saved, 'but he w,as badly hurt
from falling upon wreckage as 'his
ship sank, The chief offioer was
lost.

A
tants which have reached, here
.
e o
from survivors .make it clear that
the sinking of the Empress of Ire-
land will. rank with ,the Titanic ,dis-
aster as one of the dreadful mis-
fortunes of =larine history. The
fact that 'stands out was the oom-.
plate helplessness of most of the
passenger's. They were trapped in
their state rooms and were killed
or drowned before officers and crew
tad time tte help them. It was all
. over within fourteen minutes.
The collier was near to sinking,
but was able to make her way to
tiuski :after picking up few of
he da survivors from the Empress.
Her bow was sdharttered rte the waiter
line from the collision.
So far as could be learned the
collision cai me without warning. A
frightful blow came out of the fog
and ruined the Empress of Ireland
'before their officers knew that dan-
ger was tear. I,t was 1.45 a.m.
When the Norwegian *oilier and
freighter ' Sthor'sttad b, is ship hairdia
a;; fifth of the ;size` of the Empress,

down as if she had been made of
pasteboard instead of wood and

good •speed. She drove ,into. the
port side of the Es press and hex
steel sheathed bow raked inward
and backward. It cut through a
length of state roems, watertight
compartments and deck beams, un-
til there was an, enormous gap that
opened from amidships to the :stern
of the liner.
The water rushed in with the
Power of Niagara. Captain Ken-
dell and hio'oftcei s did all that, was
humanly possible in the 'fous,teen

Twenty-two Died of Injuries.
Twenty-two persons died of their
injuries and from exposure after be-
ing taken out of 'the lifeboats or
from floating wreckage. 'One .man
suffered from broken legs. A wo-
• man wee found who had a leg and
en. arm :broken. Others were *rush-

perfect of modern Atlantic liners

sengers and crew who so gaily sail-
ed from Quebec on Thursday re-
turned to this eity, ragged, ex-
hausted and wounded, leaving. nine
hundred and nnore of their sthip-
mates dead in the river or strew-
ing the hoxe with their oorpses.
The survivors -were brought by a
special Intel -colonial train; and a
more mixed', worn out crowd of
passengers never appeared on a
train in Canada. It was more like
a relief train • after aattlre than a'
ret' from ming party froa bteaniiship
The men were weary and woni;1,
dressed in anyt'hin'g that could be
secured at Rimouski to cover then;,
most of them having be,en 'r:eseued
either nude or in their night
clothes. - Several of them were so
badly injured that they had to be
removed in ambulances to the Jef-
frey Hale and other hospitals, while
others suffering from minor injur-
ies Were, assisted from the train by
their more fortunate comrades:
The women in ;the party were few,
it being evident that the terrible
experiences ,of the early part,of the
day, when the, Empress of Ireland
went to the bdottom.of the St. Law-
rence, had claimed, a far greater
toll of the weaker sex.
Such few women as were left
showed shocking traces, of the hard-
ships and anguish they had en-
dured. Most of them were sup,petrt
ed by men, and after :disembarking
from the train walked, through' the
lime of curious sightseers with
drawn features and with utter in,
difference 'of anffering and fatigue.
A Few Children.
A pathetic 'contrastwas furnished
by ,thepresenee of ta' few children in
the sad procession, who had with
the, buoyancy of youth '•recovered

cern and crew were on duty . at the
time of the collision, and it was im-

A SURVIVORS STORY. •
Several of the women tried to ex
.plain what they had suffered, but in
every case they broke down and were
only able to sob a few incoherent ex-
pressions'as to the horror of it all. A
much more clear statement was made

LORD STRATHCONA'S ESTATE
The Late High Commissioner's Fortune Amounted
to the Large Total of S23,257,olo
A despatch from London 'says:
The_ personal propert'y left by the
late Baron Stratheona and Mount
Royal, former High Commissioner
for Canada, amounted to $23;257,-

bate was granted on Wednesday.
The precise value of the real es-
tate left by the testator, who died
in London, January 21 - this year,
was not made'public, but the fact
that the duty paid'amounted to
$4,189,190, indicates that his entire
estate, • real and personal, had a
total value of $27,928,000.
Th -e holdings consist of $6,606,340
of .Great- Northern Railway stocks
$3,380,328 Northern Pacific Railway
stocks; $4,112,803 Canadian Pacific'
Railway 'atbclos:; $645,652 Bank of
Montreal stock; 466,071 Laurentide
stock; $400,522 Dominion Steel
stock.
The household effects in Lord
Stratheona's Gr'osvener Square,
residence have been valued at
$130,000, and his pictures at $80,000
more.
His Lordship's interest in the.
Hudson's Bay Company -amounted
to $1,240,000, and in the Anglo -Per-
sian Syndicate` $280,000. His inter-
est in Baring Brothers is valued at
$220,000.
If the will had cotcne under the

BREAK R1I t 'S WINDOWS.
Latest Maid of Militants is at Buck-
ingham Palace.
A despatch from London says,
P
Buckingham Palaee is to. be no
longer exempt from the window -
smashing raids of the suffragettes.
It leaked out recently that two
militants ,succeeded. in evading the
sentries outside t11e palace. Enter-
ing the quadrangle, they began
throwing stones: at the windows,
and had .lashed two of them when
the se atrnes seized them and took
them to the police station within
the precincts of the palace, where
they gave'their names to the police.
The Master of the RoyalHousehold
refused to prose,eute them, and
they were released after a: few
hours' 'detention. At, a meeting of
the WoJLihen's Social and Political
Union, when Mrs. Mansell vola of
what the two women had succeeded
in doing, the audienoe burst into
cheers lasting several minutes. T.ho
suggestion that the Queen iuust be
h,orrifiecl, at the treatment metes
out to imprisoned. suffragettes was
received with loud cries of dissent.
Mrs. Mansell. strongly protested
against the action of the , Arch-
bishop of Centerrbury in "refusing
sanctuary" t'o• Miss Annie Ke,nney,,
adding that the Archbishop would
be allowed no peace until women
obtained the vote. Miss Barbara
