Emperor William Sends Telegram Oh
Condolenoe.
LONDON. June 23.-The Duke OF Ed
inburgh received this dispatch from
Emperor William II;
"Words cannot express our horror.
We all sympathize with OR British
comrades. As token Of our sympathy
your ensign is flying from the mainmast
of our vessels, with our own ensign at
half-mast, according to my orders"
The Duke of Edinburgh replied:
''The British navy and nation feel
deeply the sympathy expressed by Your
Majesty and our brother officers OF the
German navy for US in this great dis
aster."
In discussing the disaster this even
ing, Lord Brassey, some time Secretary
of the Admiralty, said that the sinking
of the Victoria supplied a strong argu-
ment against building more big men-of'
war. 1t was evident, he said, that the
Victoria's armor afforded her no pro-
lection from the Camperdown's ram
While not convinced that smaller YES
sells were safer than the larger ones, ne
thought it wiser to distribute the coun-
try's naval strength among many less
pretentious men-of-war rather than
among few monster battle ships. II
was poor policy TO put so many eggs in
one basket.
A court circular issued this evening
says that the Queen received the news
with TIE deepest grief and that cher
heart bleeds for the many homes plung-
ed in mourning"
The Queen will publish tomorrow q

TIE LATEST INFORMATION.


The VictorIa's Steering Gear Was Weak
ana May BE Responsible for the Dis
oster.
LONDON, June ga dispatch re-
ceived at o'clock this morning from
Beyrout says that the collision occurred
at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon about
seven miles from Tripoli. The vessels
were almost at right angles when the
VictoriG was struck. Those on the
Victoria's deck at the moment of the
collision scrambled away and were res
cued by boats from the Camperdown and
several other vessels. The men below
had no time TO reach the deck. The
sudden cutting the Victoria caused her
to begin 20 I'll Immediately, and no es-
cape was possible. She went down in
eighty fathoms Of water. 1t is difficult
TO obtain the names Of the rescued, as
they are aboard several vessels, and SO
far an efforts have been devoted to re-
covering bodies
Shortly after the collision five bodies
were taken from the water-one OF
them the body OF the Chief Paymaster.
They we're buried last evening with
military honors st Tripoli.
The Camperdown was severely
damaged forward In the col
lisiOn.. Temporary repairs will be
made aud she will then start for home.
II is said here that several times the
Victoria had shown signs OF weakness
10 her steering gear. One theory Is
that on account Of this weakness she
became unmanageable and could not be
got out OF the CamperdoWn's way.

CONCERNING BUSINESS AND FINANCE.

SAN Francisco, CAL, June 23.-The

doors this morning On the door was the
following notice:
Bank closed temporarily in order to
protect depositors and give time to collect
on securities. We have sufficient assets
more than our liabilities"
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, June 23.-The
Cataract Bank, this city, the largest bank
in Niagara county, closed its doors al
noon. There is great excitement
among business men in consequence, as
over 100000 of their money was on de-
post there The suspension was totally
unexpected and not preceded by run on
the bank. The bank officers confidently
expected to receive help from out of town
exchanges, but money did not come.
Cashier Rankin says that the assets will
be fer in eXces of the liabilities. The
bank people claim to have plenty OF Sc
curities, but when they tried to get them
rediscouuted at other banks they were re-
fused. President Porter is confident the
bank will resume, and he does not think a
receiver will be necessary.
The Cataract Bank has been placed in
possession of Deputy State Superintend-
ent Of Banking VIVA. Greed. The officers
state positively that all classes OF deposit
tors will be paid in full. The capital stock
OF the bank is $500, 600: nominal surplus,

Montrealers during the recent financial dis
aster in New York.

TIE NEW PROPOSALS
In Connection with the Irish Home Rule
Bnl-Ths Revenues.


LONDON, June 23.-The new financial
proposals ia connection with the pro-
posed establishment Of an Irish Parlia-
ment, were issued ,o-day. The origi-
nal clauses, 10, relating TO separate
consolidated fund and taxes; IL, relating
TO hereditary revenues and income

ments as between the United Kingdom

the officers OF the Victoria saw that
there was danger of the ship founder
ing, orders we're given 20 keep the wa
ter in the compartment into which the
Csmperdown had showed her ram. The
sailors tried TO obey the order. The
shin was making water too fast to close

THE NEWS IN LONDON.
As soon as the news of the disaster
became known In London the Duke Of
Edlnburg, who was lately promoted to
the position Of Admiral OF the fleet,
visited the Admiralty and conferred
with the officials there. A meeting OF
the Admiralty Board was held and q
Telegram Of instructions was sent to
Rear Admiral Markham.
The news OF the calamity has caused
the most intense excitement, not only
among those who had friends on board
the Inflated ship, but among all classes
Of the population. The Admiralty office
in Whitehall is besieged by relatives
and friends Of the officers and crew, re-
porters seeking further details OF the
disaster and throngs Of people attracted
by curiosity.
All official kilograms in regard to the
loss OF the ship will be sent at once to
the Queen az Windsor Castle. As soon
as Her Majesty received Rear Ad miral
Markham's dispatch, which was imme-
diately forwarded to her, she gave Or
ders for the pOstponement Of the state
ball that was TO have taken place at
Buckingham Palace tonight.
Mr.. G adstone was greatly shocked
when he was informed Of the sinking OF
the Victoria and the great loss Of life
that had attended the laundering Of the
vessel. The Prime Minister in
formed the House Of Commons Of
the accident, and paid a glowing
TRIBUTE TO REAR ADMIRAL TRYoN
who he said was the most efficient and
esteemed officers in the service OF her
majesty. Mr.. Gladstone said there
were Gil officers and men and 107 ma
rires on board the ship. 1t waw feared
OF this total Of us souls, $50 have been
/ lost. He was sure that the deepest
sympathy Of the House would be felt for
the brave men who had found an early
grave in the service of their country
and that IL would be extened to their
/ relatives aud friends.
The RI. Hon. Lord George Hamilton,
formerly first Lord of the Admiralty
endorsed everything that Mr.. Gladstone
had said and expressed the deepest re-
greet for the Calamity that had beiallen
the country in the loss Of so many brave
officers and men.
In the House Of Lords, Earl Spencer,
First Lord of the Admiralty, referred
to the disaster in terms similar to those
employed BY Mr.. Gladstone in the
House OF Commons. Among those
saved is the RI. Hen. Lord Richard Gill;

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 23.-The
news of the sinking of the ID. Z. NJ.
ship Victoria caused profound sensa-
tion at the Navy Department here.
People who saw the beautiful and state
ly Blake flagship Of the British squadron
at the naval review thought that she was
great ship, but she was OF secondary
Importance when compared with the
Inflated Victoria, for while the Blake
was a large armored cruiser the Vic
toria was 3 full fedged battle ship,
nearly ], 600 tons larger than the Blake.
She bore about the same relation TO the
Blake that our own new battle ships,
Indiana and Oregon, do to the armored
cruiser New New York. Her dlmen-
sions and features were as follows:
Armored ship Victoria, steel, 1O,47O
tons, 1900 horse power, $40 feet long,
20 feet beam, built at New Castle, com
pleted in 1890; hull cost e612, 522, ma
chinery SIP, 1913, turret and oaroette,
compound armor, two Hilton guns In
forward turret anu one 1V-luCu HOuut-
ed Ia a barbette aft. The turret and
barbette had is inches OF compound ar
NOR. Her listed speed was 1915 knots.
She had one lofty military mast of steel
carrying gun platforms.
The CamperdOwn which dealt the ia
tai blow was about the same size as the
Victoria. She resembles the United
States Steamer Charleston In general
appearance, though she is twice as
large. She has central superstrue-
ture, but her decks fore and aft are en-
tirely clear save two barbettes carrying
heavy guns and her sides are clad in
impenetrable armor.
Naval officers here feel that one re-
suit of this catastrophe will be to en-
phasize In striking manner the terri
BILE efficiency OF the ram as 3 weapon OF
naval offense, for although there was no
intention Of using 1t Extensively in this
case, when it is presumed the ships
engaged in simple manRuvers, its avail
Sbility in time Of war has been amply
demonstrated.
