Captain of Wrecked Ship

DEATH LIST REACHES l23
Bodies Washing Up All
Along French Coast
Today.

ST. MALO. France. Nov. 20.-Dednite
information as TO the circumstances Of
the wreck OF the Channel steamer HIIda
on the rocks of the roadstead OF this
port last night Is still lacking. The gen
ersi opinion is that the catastrophe was
due 10 a mirage, which apparently al
tered the position of shore and Channel
lights, misleading Captain Gregory and
causing him 10 take wrong course.
It Is officially announced by the South
western Railway Company that 129 per-
sons were aboard the Hilda. OF which
i0l were passengers and 2s IN the crew.
The total loss was 123.
Ali OF the sixteen English saloon pas
sengers We drowned.
\. yord.ng @ports here. 81 bodies
have been r,.cSvered so far. Among
these are the bodies of Captain Gregory
and Chief Of1iecr Pearson.
Whether the Ifilda used any distress
signals Is not known. Such signals
should have been seen on shore. al
though the fact that sney were not may
have been due TO the heavy snoWstorra
which prevailed at the time the acct
dent occurred.
The six men found In the rigging are
the only survivors yet found
Thirty-six bodies have been washed
ashore at ST. Cast. France.
The Southwestern Railway Company
has not complete list of the passen-
gers who sailed on the Hilda, as il was
the custom for the purser 10 book them
as they took their staterOOms.
The only full list was lost with the
vessel.

1t is held here in government circles
that the entire trouble has been fo-
mented by Austria. which is seeking to
take advantage Of conditions in Russia

the Balkans. and it is not believed that
Russia, Germany. and Italy can be de-
pended upon to go very far in aiding
Austria to carry out these plans.
Turkey Is Desperate.
Turkey is desperate. and if a naval
demonstration takes place II can be
depended upon TO make a counter dem

The Senate Committee on Interstate

be irrevOcably opposed to the Presi-
dents plan. If they accept that plan
it viii be from reasons of expediency
or because convinced that opposition is
useless. Their efforts, it is expected
will be especially devoted to urging
some compromise plan which will be
calculated TO take the force out Of the
proposals OF the President

In addition TO these four. Senator

Finally. Senators Cullom and DoIIiver

IN his Office today. Commissioner War
ner in conversation with DEPUTY Com
missioners Davenport and Kelley andpa
reporter OF The Times. said that ne was
not going 10 cause any one. whose posi-
tom may have gone by the board by
the reorganization of the personnel Of
the office 10 resign.
Il don't want il TO be understood In
that way at all. said the Commis-
sioner- y ind that We can, by little
Judicious action at this time, keep the
entire force we now have at work
There are some vacancies now, and we
viii have some more In the general run
OF affairs BY not filing these places
when they come up we can retain every
employe and that is what / want 10

VIII the work Of your office decrease

asked Of the Commissioners.
Yes. he answered. 1T viii decrease
10 some extent 1 think the vacancies
that VIII occur from every cause viii
be about in the ratio with the dis
missals that may be brought about by
other causes, designations. and deaths
In this way we can work right along
without causing any embarrassment TO
any one, and work for the good of the
bureau.
Unoniclally il was learned today that
the scheme OF Mr.. Warner. when put
into eject. would do away with lot
OF red tape now IN vogue at the bureau
This necessarily viii expedite the han

The entire scheme, II is said. will work
for the good or all concerned, and those
whose reduction will be caused by the
new order do not look upon * as a
hardship imposed upOr their declining

their opinion. that Commissioner War
