 Mayor Lee addressed a very limited number, Of Republicans in the rooms fof the Ninth District Republican club, last night.
 He opened by claiming credit for the Congress street bridge. Only two questions that have been asked in connection with the bridge were left unanswered by him. These questions:
 Why was the contract to build the bridge not let to the lowest bidder? Why was the contract made with the highest bidder not drawn so that the city could compel the completion of the bridge within the contract time? His remarks about the car barn sur render were characterized by al most remarkable brevity.
 This is what he said:
 And the car barn surrender. Of course we very much dislike to see trolley cars cross the tr streets any where. We don't like to have the trolley cars cross Fairfield avenue and Main street where. we are forced to keep two policemen all day, and the trolley company also has to have a man there."

schemes of their own. It was feared that his death would result in com plete change of the nations. foreign policy. The premier. however, is in- sistent in his statement that the poli- cies of Prince Ito will be followed by the present cabinet
 Detailed message from Harbin to- day indicate that the plot against the life of Prince Ito which was con- summated yesterday had existed since 1907. At that time Ito. as resident general of Korea. following the refusal of The Hague tribunal to heed Korea's plea for assistance. forced the Korean emperor to abdicate and succeed in compelling the signing of the treaty giving Japan sovereignty over the peninsula. Prince Ito, to the Koreans. was the personifcation. of the Jap anese influence which had wrested their Independence from them and in the abdication of the emperor the plot was formed which ended yesterday.
 The Russian police are still holding the assassin of Prince Ito at Harbin and several other Koreans who were arrested after the tragedy and who are suspected of complicity. Two of these are thought to have accompanied the Korean who did the shooting. It is probable that the suspects will be turned over to the Japanese authori- ties.
 The special train bearing the body of Prince Ito will be met at Darien by WuESulP WHEEL AdS pSOL OIoSICd 1IOil the naval station at Yokohoma. The Emperor has detailed an imperial court chamber to go to Darien and ac- company the body, on the warship, from there to Tokio where it is ex- pected to arrive in about a. week
 The whole nation is in mourning for the dead statesman and notes of re- gret have been received from practi- cally every foreign nation.
 The Chinese authorities. besides sending messages of coincidence, are making preparations to show that they are not responsible for the death of Prince Ito as they are not allowed to exercise any police power in the zone of Manchuria-

BUT SIX SAVED
 IN STEAMER WRECK
Thirty-five Perish as Vessel Hestia Strands in the
 Bay of Fundy
LIFE BOAT FELL WITH SEA
Special from United Press.>

Special from United Press.) Eastport, Me, Oct. N.-Failure to- day to learn any news of the missing boat load of passengers and crew of the Donaldson Liner Hestia, Glasgow to Baltimore, which was wrecked early yesterday morning on the rocks off Grand Mana, N. R., has convinced shipping men here that the boat is lost. This will bring the loss of life in the disaster to 35, of whom five were passengers.
 The only persons saved of the fl souls aboard the wrecked liner were six of the crew who stayed aboard the ship when the last boat was lowered. They were Third Mate Stewart, Sec ond Engineer Morgan and Seamen Keen, Mckenzie, Emith and Macvi- cars When the vessel went on the network of rocks and shoals between the Gannett Rock and Machias Seal Islands,zrthe first boat lowered fell empty into the sea. Into the second boat went four of the passengers but the terrific seas swamped it almost at the steamers side. The third boat was too small to contain all the remainder of the crew and the six finally res-' cued stuck to the ship while the oth- CTS dropped over the side into the lit tie craft. In swirl of spume the third boat vanished from the sight of the little party One boatload drifted off into the night and no word has been heard from it, the belief being that it was swamped. The upper works of the Hestia can still be seen but she is pounding sos heavily that it is thought she will |anet hold to- gether long.
 Those rescued from the vessel are so exhausted from exposure that they cannot yet tell their story.
