with friends in the city. Engineer
Tomlinson had many invitations to dine
with passengers wno believe they owe
their lives to his skill in repairing the
broken shaft He also went ashore.
The feeling against the Gallia for re-
fusing to assist the Umbria is strong as
ever. A rumor was started to-day that
Captain Mckay did not signal the
Gallia for assistance, but told the pas
sengers he did to make them believe he
was doing everything in his power to
get the Umbria towed into port.
This story is not generally believed by
the passengers, because they say Cap
tain Mckay told them of the accident
as soon us II happened, and did not t.y
to keep any Information concerning
the delay from them. The opinion of
the Cunard officials on this side is that
1t would be unwise to say anything
about the matter until the Gallla arrives
on the other side and Captain Ferguson
makes an explanation,

Umbria Affair Issued by tho Cunard
Company.
LoNDoN, Jan. 3.--The Cunard Company
have issued an official statement of the
Iallia- Umbria incident. In this statement
Captain Ferguson of the Gallia SAYS that
when his steamer approached the, umbra

lying like duck il water, and formed a
perfect picture of security, while the Gnllia
was rolling. On reading the signal shalt
broken, Ferguson consulted with his
chief engineer. The latter officer, know
ing the appliances ON board the tmbria,
and being intimately acquainted with
Chief Engineer Tomlinson, was satisfied
from the next signal. ready TO proceed
tomorrow" that the Umbria was in no
danger, and that there were some weeks
more provisions aboard for ALL
Captain Ferguson, the report continues
had to consider his own position. With
the prospect of easterly weather leaving
him an insufficient margin in his coal,
should he, 1t asks, have expended con-
siderable portion OF his fuel in standing
by the umbria for one or two days
CAPTAIN PERGusos's EXPLANATION.
Continuing. the report says Captain
Ferguson realized that the Umbria had
been broken down since the previous
Friday, yet had not about her sem blance
of damage; that she was in the route of all
steamers crossing to and fro, and that the
weather, although unfit at the moment
for the transfer of passengers without
great risk showed signs of moderating,
and he therefore decided that it was
his duty to proceed and inform all west
bound vessels that he met of the position
of the Umbria. He signaled to Steamer
within 10 hours after he left the Umbria,
that the latter vessel was disabled and
gave her the Umbrias longitude and lati-
tude."
Captain Ferguson's prescience in regard
to bad weather coming out Of the east was
justified. When the Gallia was within 800
or 40U miles of the Irish coast she encoun-
tered heavy gale from the eastward, ac-
companied with high head sea. This
gale delayed him 20 hours in reaching
Queenstown.

sum at the end of each fiscal year, and
therefore it is frequently urged
that such depletion is not felt and,
tibet in some mysterious way, millions
over and above the legitimate cost of
running the national government may
be monthly extracted from the earnings
OF the masses without making them any
poorer. While it is possible that the
practicable tightening of the individuals
disbursements in this way may be, as
the governor says, Constructed and de.
layed, yet it is certain in the end to be
accomplished, and it is believed that no
class Of our citizens will feel more
sensibly and beneticially the carrying
out OF such reform than those engaged
in agriculture and its kindred pursuits"

The men employed by the Diamond

decision, Some of them favored refusal
to work at the reduced rate, but most Of
