part of them were rescued without
serious injury. The ice broke the win
dows of the car which stood on end and
only partially filled with water,
The first body recovered was that OF
woman who was taken out few
minutes after the accident. The con-
fusion was such that nobody could tell
an hour after the catastrophe how many
people had lost their lives, but il Is
believed that at least six besides the
motorman are dead.
There were 10 or 12 people in the car,
the exact number being unknown. Sew

the others are all dead. Those rescued
were 4:

AGAINST THE WHEEL.

The Pope Does Not Favor the Use of
Bicycles by Catholic Priests.
Father Sylvester ,lorg, the priest at the
Sacred Heart Church, recently directed an
inquiry to the Pope at Rome concerning
the use of BICYCLES by priests, to which he
received an unfavorable reply.
The Pope advances as his reasons that
his refusal will save The clergy from being
hurt; that il they ride the wheel it sets Il
bad exemple, and they are liable to be
joked by their fellow priests. There are
quite number Of the local priests who
have become devotees Of the cycle in recent
years, and they have found that by its use
they are helped considerably in tbs per-
Torrance of their duties.

the time the disappointed searchers re.
turned last night, indicating that the
vessels hull was in the vicinity, stated by
those claiming to have seen it. and while
further tidings are anxiously awaited it is
with feeling of hopelessness and kecnest
disappointment.
Especially is this the case at Benton
Harbor, Mich, and other places where
the crew of the Chic0ra resided. The
news. Of the finding of the dismantled
vessel and the rescue of her crew
was received at Benton Harbor and st.
Joseph during memorial services for her
dead in the churches. Hundreds wept for
joy. Special trains were arranged for the
conveyance of people to meet the Sup
posed dead men, and everywhere the
widest excitement prevailed.

THE RERING SEA BILL.
conservatives Insist on Full Discussion
and the Government Yields

London. June 1S.-The Boring sea bill
passed its second reading in the house OF
commons today. Sir Edward Grey said
the only changes made in the bill. as COM
pared with the first Boring sea bill, were
introduced in order 10 meet the Sugges-
tons of Canada on the subject. The bill
dld not raise new questions regarding the
seal fisheries ard he warned the house
that If the government was not allowed to
carry out the agreement with Russia very
serious situations would arise respecting
the Western Pacific.
Thomas g. Bowles. representing Lynn
Regis. moved that the bin be referred to a
select committee for comparison with ne
agreement with Russia TO ascertain wheth-
er it is the same as that of 1898. Several
conservatives supported the motion.
Sir Richard Webster said that while
he sagreed with the motion that the
bill be referred TO a select committee, he
thought the government ought to give
as much Information as possible 20 the
house before Tire bin went into ordinary
committee, and promise to allow full
discussion of the measure. For. he con-
tinued. though Russia never advanced
such extravagant claims as America, still
the house was entitled to know the real
position OF affairs. He was certain there
was a strong feeling in Canada that their
interests were inadequately watched at
present.
Thereupon Sir William Vernon Har-
court promised TO consider whether fur
Their papers could not he submitted, and
whether the government could allow
full discussion of the bill.
Mr.. Bowles then withdrew his motion
that the bill be referred to a select COM
mittee.
