E STEAMER RIPPED STEM TO STERN IN MUCH DANGER Royal George With 225 Pas sengers and 200 of Crew
 on the Rocks Disabled Ship One Mile From Point St. Lawrence and
 Liable to Toppler Over

Montreal, Nov. About BPS pas sengers, all from the steerage, and all of the 200 of the crew of the mag nificent passenger liner Royal George are in grave danger, today. The big liner, her bottom believed to be torn almost from stem to stern, is hard and fast on the massive rock forma- tion jutting out from Point St. Law fast was the liner going that she hurdled high on the rocks with a trifle more than six feet of water ur1- der her and she may topple over at any moment. Three-quarters of the entire passenger list were taken off by tugboats. last night, but one-fourth and the crew are still on board.
 At last accounts a terrific storm was battefing the vessel. It was inn possible for any of the fleet of rescue tugs, which had been hurried to the assistance of the Royal George to ap- preach close to the wreck, today. They will stand by. however, and will be ready for anything that may devel- op. The officials of the Canadian Northern Steamship Company admit that the position of the steamer is desperate but they say that they be- lieve they will rescue all hands.
 The Royal George sailed from Bris- tol. Eng, October 80, on which was to have been her last trip of the year. < Quebec, Nov. with dozen tugs reported standing by, the big mail steamer Royal George was. today, still one mile from Point St. Lawrence, Isle of Orleans. It is stated that her bottom is probably ripped from steam to stearn and the great danger is that she may topp1e over she stands so feet keel to boat deck. She was run ming IS miles an hour through a dense fog when she struck.
 The 914 passengers on the Royal George were divided as follows: 35 first cabin, 149 second and 710 steer age.
 The chief danger is that the great steamer will fall over on her side. Shipping experts here believe she will be a total loss.

COMES OF GOOD FAMILY
Unfortunate Plight in Which N.. " Judd Finds HimseIfA AHeld In
 Bail of sf .OOO.

Presenting an abject appearance of despondency. remorse and nervous fear, Norman w. Judd, the we'll dressed thief yesterday caught while in the act of stealing a satche1 filled with precious metal belonging to R. c. Jones, a travelling salesman, was today arraigned in the city coure be- fore Judge Carl Foster and remand ed under $1,000 bonds to await trial before the Superior Court.
 Judd. who appears to come of an 'aristocraic family, gives his home address as .Easthamptoh, Mass, where it is learned his father conducts a general Atore and is highly respected in the community. The son today in the prison pen, admitted his guilt and when informed his family were known, pleaded that no word of his shame be sent them. He regretted honorable discharge papers from the army found upon his person had dis closed his identity.
 The prisoner has but recently been discharged from Fort Wright, in New York. where he had been sent to the division hospital at Fort Slocum. A nervous affection, said to be due to a growth on the neck inca apacitated him for active service and produces the impression that he is a confirmed drug-user. He said that this, his first offense, was inspired by the necessity for food and a desire to get home after fruitless search for work in the city denied him on account of his visibly nervous condition.

Budapest. Nov 7.-Scutari is slow- ly starving to death, according to stories received here, through Mon tenegrin sources from the few re- fugees who have managed to escape from the town and join it's besiegers for the sake of food.
 The commander of the beleaguered Turkish garrison has said that he can hold out for three months.
 The Montenegrins keep up a steady cannonade against the forts and oc- casional1y attempt to take them by storm. Shops in the town are all closed. There are no surgeons in Scutari and a serious wound generally means death from gangrene.
