The largest ships company that ever
crossed the Atlantic arrived yesterday
aboard the giant White Star liner Celtic,
from Liverpool and Queenstown. It con-
sisted Of $40 cabin and 2,sSs Storage pas
sengers, who, with the members OF the crew,
formed a total OF 1913 souls. An unusually
large number OF Irish immigrants boarded
the ship at Queenstown, and more wanted
to, but 100 were left behind because there
were no accommodations for them. The
Cunarder Umbria, In from Liverpool and
Queenstown, which left the latter port
day after the Celtic, could not take any
immigrants, as she had utilized all her cargo
space for the baggage Of her e57 cabin pas
sengers. The American liner st. Paul.
which arrived from Southampton and Cher
bourg, brought 52e cabin and TOO steerage
passengers.
All three ships cabin passengers were
landed yesterday afternoon and gave the
customs inspectors one Of the busiest days
In their experience. The inspectors had
prepared for the emergency and passed
the throng OF homecomers and foreign
visitors swiftly. The steerage passenger
who will land to-day may be augmented
by immigrants from the French Liner La
Bretagne and the Anchor liner Astoria
The single screw Umbria had a race for
port with the American liner. They en-
countered each other in midooean and
bumped themselves for Sandy Hook. The
st. Paul carried away some OF the pack
ing Of her port engine and was delayed,
making repairs, FIVE or six hours, on Thurs
day and Friday. She was also forced to
stop in the lower bay until a tow OF oaal
barges, blocking the channel got out Of the
way. The Umbria got in an hour ahead
of the American liner.

The Rev Dr. Rainsford is back from q
visit Of several months to his native land,
after a long absence, and does not like
some OF its institutions. He spent the time
visiting old friends and relatives and at
much interested in the political campaign.
He said: 1T looks to me as II the prospects
were bright for Mr.. Roosevelt II would
be almost Infamous IL he were not elected.
Dr. Rainsford said that the educational
system Of England was much inferior to
States, and that England would feel keenly
in few years the non-application Of the
industrial system OF teaching. About

1T is losing ground very rapidly. That Is
one OF the natural results OF the cast iron

to learn that Judge Herrick had been nomi-
mated for Governor by the Democrats,
