that had attended the laundering OF

Rear Admiral Tryon, who he said was
tho most efficient and esteemed officer

OF the house would be ielt for the bravo
men who had found an early grave in
the service OF their country, and that
it would be extended TO their relatives

The Rt, Hon. Lord George Hamilton,
formerly first lord OF tho admiralty, en-.
dorsed everything that Mr.. Gladstone
had said and expressed the deepest re.
gret for the calamity that had befallen
the country in the loss OF SO many
brave officers and men,
Among those saved ia Rt. Hon. Lord
Richard Clifford, Vice Admiral Tryon'a

HOW 1T OCCURRED.
LONDON. June PA dispatch re.
ceived at o'clock this morning from
Beyroot says that the collision occurred
at o'clock yesterday afternoon, about
seven miles from Tripoli. The vessels
were almost at right angles when the
Victoria was struck. Those on tho
Victoria's deck at the moment OF the
collision scrambled away and were res
cued by boats from tho Camperdown'and
several other vessels. The mon below
had no time to reach the deck The
sudden heeling OF the Victoria caused
her to begin to fill immediately and no
escape was possible. She went down in
eighty fathoms OF water. 1t is diff
cult to obtain the names of the res.
cued, as they are aboard several yes.
sells, and so far all efforts have been do,
voted to recovering the bodies
Shortly after the collision five bodies
were taken from the water, one Of them
the body OF tho chief paymaster. They
were buried last evening with military
honors at Tripoli. The Camperdown
was severely damaged forward in the
collision. Temporary repairs will be
made and Ishe will then start for
home. 1t is said hero that several
times the Victoria has shown signs OF
weakness in her steering gear. One
theory ia that on account OF this weak
ness she became unmanageable, and
could not be gotten out OF the Camper
downs way.
On the evening following the after
noon OF the disaster Lady Tyron, who
arrived from Malta three weeks ago, was
holding her first reception Of the sea.

present. When the news OF her hus-
bands death reached her she fell in
faint.

died away. Are we to pay so much in

Union with Canada.
Boston, Mass, exchanges prominently
note that Judge L. E. Munson of this city
addressed the Boston chamber of com.

day upon our commercial and political re.
lations to Canada.
The papers contain quite extended no.
toes of the address, and judging from the
reports It must have been interesting to
the chamber, which is so intimate In its re-
lstions to Canada and Its people.
Mr.. Munson has given the subject much
careful consideration upon the various
points presented, and discussed them In an
attractive manner. Our Canadian relations
at present are attracting a good deal of
consideration, In both political divisions
of our country among both people, and
the discussion of the subject is both timely
And important.
