the other bodies recovered from the IT,

by Lawrence Millet Of New York. a son,
who went to meet the ship as soon as he
learned the news.
1t is probable that the body of Mr.. Mil
let will be taken either to Boston, his
old home, or to New York, where he re-
tanned residence. AS far as could be
learned here last night no arrangements
have been made for the burial.
Other members of Mr.. Millet's family
will meet the body at whichever city it
is taken for burial. Mrs. Millet is still
abroad. and was with her husband in
Rome prior to his leaving Europe.
