Tugs Seeking Lost Boat.
ST. JOHN. New Brunswick, October -.
In the hope of picking up some of the
crew of the wrecked Donaldson line
steamer Hestia, a number of tugs and
other craft put out from this port early
today for Seal cove, Grand Manan
Island, where the Hestia ran upon a
ledge early yesterday morning, and
where more than score of persons are

h1eboat. which. OvercroWQed with men,
was the last to leave the Hestia. When
last observed the occupants Of the frail
craft were struggling in the heavy sea.
Small Boat Carried to Sea.
The wind at the time of the accident
was blowing gale off shore. Today, all
though it had diminished considerably, 1t
still blew from the land. 1t was the
general opinion that the lifeboat had been
carried to sea.
One vessel to leave port for the scene
of the wreck this morning was the
steamer Aurora, which makes regular
trips between here, Grand Manan and
PASSPORT, Me. The steamer expected to
pick up the survivors OF the wreck who
are now at Grand Manan and bring them
to Passport, arriving there tomorrow.
Hours in Fear of Death.
The Hestia struck the ledge at 1:10
am yesterday, according to information
received here early this morning from
Grand Manan. This fact was given by
Third Mate Stewart, one of the men
rescued by the Seal Cove life-savers,
and who is now at the station.
The condition of the six men rescued
by the life-savers was pitiable. Left on
the wrecked vessel, with the, last boat
gone, and with no chance Of rescue in
view, the mems nerves gave way under
the strain.
When taken off by the life-savers
they were in a condition of exhaustion:
Third Mate Stewart broke down and
cried when he was taken into the sta
ton, and it was a long time before in

Japan's Ideals Strengthened
by Ito's Death, Declares Son

GENOA. October 27.-Marquis H.rkumi
Ito. son of Prince Ito, declared today
that the assassination of his father at
Hardin. yesterday, would add new
strength to japanese ideals.
Marquis Ito, who had spent sleep
less night, received a representative of the
Associated Press in his cabin of the
steamer Atsuta Maru. on which he ar
rived, last night, from London.
The news of his fathers death came
to him in cipher telegram from the
japanese ambassador at London. soon
after similar message from the secre-
tary of the imperial house at Toxic had
been received here, but not delivered to
the son.
Il knew that father was at Darien.'
said the marquis. His murder was an
act of Korean revenge. There is a strong
party there which detests Japanese rule
and which would be disposed rather to
accept a Russian regime in Korea.
Marquis Ito recalled the murder of Dur
ham White Stevens. the American ad-
wiser to the japanese in Korea. a San
Francisco by Koreans in March. 1908.
and said that Stevens was assassinated
because he had supported the policy of
Prince Ito.
II believe that the death of my father
Marquis Ito continued, will add new
strength to Japanese ideals I do not
think that it will have other consequences
so far as Korea is concerned. as he had
no official position in that country
Notwithstanding his bereavement, the
son. who is vice grand master of cere-
monies at the court of Toxic. will con-
tinue his journey to Paris and accom-
plish the mission on which he has been
sent. This mission is the purchase of
jewels for the trousseau of the imperial
princess.
In 1903 H;rkumi visited Rome in COM
pany with Prince Arisugawa who rep
resented the Emperor of Japan at the
wedding of Crown Prince William of
Germany.
Marquis Ito today received a message
from Baron Hayashi. japanese ambas-
sador at Rome. stating that a cable mes
sage from Toxic requested the return
home of Hirkumi at the earliest possible
moment and by the shortest route.

walked back and forth along the side OF
the table and sang a song of four or five
stanzas, the words of which were from a
poem that he himself had composed the
day before in honor of President Taft and
his visitors.
This unbending of dignity created the
greatest surprise among the distinguished
japanese who were our hosts on that oc-
casiOn.
Ito Cheers in English.
when we left the Toxic station and
our party cheered with three 'banzais' the
crowd of distinguished Japanese states
men that came to bid us goodbye, Prince
Ito led the return, cheering in three hur-
rahs and a tiger, in English.
Prince Ito and. Mr.. Taft held many
conferences and became fast friends. He
was looked upon in Japan as its most
eminent statesman, and We all voted him
the prince of good fellows.
.On the last visit of President Taft t.
Japan, Prince Ito was absent in Korea
but he sent the late Durham Stevens. as
