The Injured Are Hurried to Hospitals
When Train Reaches Quebec and
Everything Possible Done to Re-
Iieve Their S~ufferinas.

Ouebec.-A train OF 396 survivors
from the sunken steamer Empress OF
ireland reached here at s o'clock Fri
day night. The escued on board
numbered twenty-nine first class,
twenty-nine second class and 101
third class passengers, and 237 OF the
crew. Thirty-seyen survivors were
left at Rimouski, which would make
a total of 433 saved. AS revised fig
ures show 1887 persons to have been
on the steamer, this makes the prob
able number OF lost 954.
Among the twenty-five survivors OF
the first cabin there were eight wo-
men and one child, and strangely,
among the twenty-nine rescued from
the second cabin there were also
eight women and one child. OF the
101 persons saved from the steerage

Among the fifty passengers left In
Rimousk were a number who were
80 Ill or 80 badly injured that they
had to be taken to the hospital.
Special praise was given the heroic
work of DIR. James f. Grant of Vic
toria, b. c., ships surgeon on the EN-
press. To his GOODNESS was credited
the saving Of a large number OF per
sons taken out Of the water who
probably would have persisted.

JUNTA OF FIVE
THE LATEST PLAN
MEDiAToRs BELIEVE THEY HAVE
FOUND SOLUTION OF The
MEXICAN MIDDLE.
Commission Government to be Com
posed Of a President and Four Cab
met Ministers Who Would be Neu-
trial In Politics to be Selected.

Washington. - Conferences which
indicated rapid progress in mediation
of the Mexican situation at Niagara
Falls were held Thursday between
President Wilson. Secretary Bryan
and other department officials, none
of whom would publicly discuss the
details of proposed settlement.
Information obtainable mere, now
ever. reflected the news from the Ca
madam border city that essentials of
a Mexican paciication plan had been
agreed upon between representatives
of General Huerta and the United
States, but that some subjects still
we're under consideration before a
protocol actually could be drafted for
signature.
Officials generally admit that the
basis of the plan of mediation Is for
the establishment of a commission
government or junta to be composed
| of a provisional president and four
| cabinet ministers who would be neu-
trial in so far as political affiliations
are concerned. To this provisional
| government Huerta's power would be
transferred pending an election.
That the basic plan has been com
municated to the constitutionalist
chief, General Carranzs. and his adj
visers, was admitted here. Although
| Carranza and his adherents still are
not a party to the mediation, it was
pointed out that after the mediators
had determined upon the disposition
Of the Mexico City government, de.
velopments might arise which would
involve negotiations with the consti-
nationalist forces.

Mule Foot HOPS" And Cholera.

According to tests made of four
Mule.foot hogs advertised as "The
Cholera Immune Aog," the VET

that they are no more immune

Four pigs were purchased from
q breeder, who was advertising
them for sale rs cholera immune,
aud each was given the centimeter
of blood from u hog sick with
cholera. All four promptly deve
loped cases of ch olera and died.
Post-moftem examinations left
no doabt as to the cause of the
death.
This demonstration was made
for the benefit of the students Of
the college and the farmers of the
