GIVE Up ALL HOPE
FOR MISSING SHIP
AND 4O4 PERSONS

MONTREAL, Jan. 4-Officials OF the
Canadian Pacific Railway Company
here tonight are holding out little hope
to the crowds of anxious relatives and
friends that besiege their offices for
news OF the missing Mount Royal and
her 4O4 people. They firmly believe the
big liner is lost.
Not one word has been heard from the
steamer since she cleared from Ant
wero, on December Z. Vessels that COW
cred the route taken by her since her
departure have seen no trace Of her.
Almost the last vestigc of hope van
ished today with the arrival Of the
steamer Hungarian, Of the Allen line,
at Portland, Me. 1t was thought she
might be towing the Mount Royal, but
her captain has telegraphed that he
saw no trace of the Canadian vessel,
although during It's entire passage hi9
vessel encountered mountainous waves.
( the Mount Royal has gone to the
Port Of Missing Ships, her dlsap-
DeaTance probably viii never be solved.
Did she catch fire in mid-oceEn, did she
strike a sunken wreck and sink before
boats could be launched, or did her hold
boilers give way under pressure OF
steam2 are questions shipping men are
asking here. hut there is no one to
answer.
A peculiar fact IS that the Mount
Royal was in collision on December 2
off Antwerp wish the steamer Larinda.
She was reported uninJul ed then, but
now it is feared her plates may have
been started and the divers didn't dis
cover It. With weakened structure she
might have proven easy prey for the
hammering waves and Ii ts feared she
may have gone to the bottom during a
! gale
Captain Purcell, commanding the
| Mount Royal Is an oid-time ocean navi-
gator and careful man. The steamer
| Is Of 4.599 tons and was built IN 1898.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Hitchcock. to whom has been rendered
an important managerial post with the
Taft forces. has not yet made final
reply to Secretary Taft. but 1t is ex-
pected he wiz ultimately accept the
invitation 10 join the TAFT movement.

Internal Revenue Capers have con-
sidered themselves, il is explained. as
bound TO stand by Secretary COrtelyou
SO long as ne feels that their services

Of his own nomination.
1t is reported that the Secretary has
not gone 90 far as to release them en-
tirely. Back Of this, II IS understood,
Is the fact that some New York ele-
ments have not consented that Mr..
Cortelyou should yet take himself out

troll Of the State assuming a shape
which seems II indicate that neither

stated so strongly that some good poll
ucians are impressed that the Secretary
might yet become the key TO the difficult
situation IL the Empire State.
Despite this aspect, the impression 10
that Hitchcock and Capers are both
ready TO enter the Taft ranks. and that
they are likely finally 20 be given their
release from any obligations to Secretary
Cortelyou.

1t IS further stated that the Western
