THE CANADA LOST.
As the Dawn Broke the Steamer Sank
Out Of Sight.
FIVE PERSONS WERE LOST.
Crew Behaved Well, and One Hum
dred and Five Out Of One Hun
dred and Ten On Board
Were Saved.

A dispatch from Montreal says the
Richilieu and Ontario Navigation
company's steamer, Canada, bound
from Quebec for Montreal came into
collision with the Dominion Coal COM
pany's collier, Cape Breton, six miles
below Sorel early Sunday. Twenty
minutes later the Canada went to the
bottom. At the time Of the collision
there were 10 people on board the
Canada. Five were lost; the others
were rescued.
The collision occurred just as dawn
was breaking. The Cape Breton lay
at the entrance Of the Lake St. Peter
channel waiting for daylight so as to
find ber way through. She was get
ting under way when the Canada,
making for Sorel at full speed, came
into view.
Just what the collision was due to
and who Is responsible for it has not
been determined, for the officers Of
the Canada decline to talk, but from
the statements given out it would ap-
pear that the Cape Breton had not
got head way on enough to answer
her rudder and that she swerved across
the path Of the passenger beat, her
bow striking the Canada just forward
Of the paddle box on the starboard side
and tearing its way half through.
Then the Cape Breton swung clear
ard the two steamers came along
side one another.
The shock Of the collision aroused
the sleeping passengers. The Canada
at once bsgan to settle and as the
Cape Breton did not appear to be
seriously damaged the passengers were
hurriedly transferred to this steamer.
: In the excitement some Of the pas
sengers jumped overheard and were
picked up by boats from the Canada
and the Cape Breton, but great ma
jority Of those on board did not be-
come excited, while the discipline
shown by the crew of the Canada was
excellent.
Twenty minutes later when the
Canada went down alongside the Cape
Breton, resting on her side in the
mud, all the passengers who could be
found had been transferred. st least
two Of those lost were killed in the
collision.

Captain Cable says they could have

hours more; but they drew. on their
reserve supply in order to test the
pumps and satisfy Constructor Wood

the Fulton's test is regarded as of the
utmost Importance. Naval Construc-

went through every test splendidly,

Miss Kate Dougles Wiggin was one
of several American literary folk who
attended the unwilling of the Robert
Louis Stevenson memorial by Lord
Rosebery in st. Giles cathedral, Edin-
burgh, last week, which proved one
of the most interesting literary events
of the year. The memorial is, of
course, the work of Augustus St.
Gaudens, the American sculptor, and
was subscribed to quite extensively in
the United States. In the course of
his address Lord Rosebery said that
Stevenson's trueist memorial would be
in the number of those whom the
speaker described as 1.-The readers and
almost idolaters of his works."

OTTUMWAN MAY WIN FARM.
P. Jay Donelan, Victim of Fake Tele
qram, Still Has Homes.

P. Jay Donelan this morning receiv-
ed a Western Union telegram stating
that he was the lucky holder of chance
No. 946 in the Rosebud drawing now
being conducted at Chamberlain, S. D.,
and that he was entitled to one of the
finest 100 acre farms in the newly op-
ened territory. P. Jay was preparing
to resign his position in the dry goods
store of his uncle. W. ]. Donelan, and
was studying up on the prices of farm
machinery, mules and such like when
his hopes We're dashed to the ground
by the discovery that the telegram was
not genuine.
A telegram to the Courier this after
noon from Chamberlain states that one
Pat Donehue, of Council Bluffs. is one
of the lucky chance holders. This
gives some hope that there is some
confusion in the names and that P
Jay may yet get his farm and have the
laugh on the paEr~ >'"-s Of the fake
telegram.
