Montreal, May 29.-The number of
victims of the wreck of the liner En-
press of Ireland is estimated tonight
at close to a thousand. At this hour it
is impossible to get accurate figures;
1867 were aboard when the liner was
rammed by the collier Storstadt and
only 337. landed by the steamers Lady
Evelyn and Eureka at Rimouski, are
definitely accounted for. Reports are
circulated that the injured Storstadt,
en- route to this port, has $50 sur
vivors aboard, but this is unconfirmed
and generally discredited.
There are small hopes that any of
the 1880 missing will be saved.
According to the best available in
formation, the first and second cabins
lost heavily. A large proportion of
the survivors are said to be of the
crew and steerage. The temperature
of the water was SO and many are
reported to have died from exposure
after being rescued, while others had
little chance after being thrown into
the water.
. The Storstadt, Norwegian ship,
rammed the Empress amidships, tear
ing her way aft through the state
rooms, and many were crushed to
death as they slept, according to frag-
mentary stories of survivors wired
here from Himouski. Others were
trapped by wreckage in their sleep
ing quarters and were unable to es-
cape. Many of the crew were above
deck. The steerage quarters were
so situated that they almost entirely
escaped the force of the collision. The
Storstadt was reported late this aft
ernoon to be slowly making her way
up the river at Father Point, where
she put in for a pilot.
Captain Anderson said he had
corpses aboard, but made no refer
ence to living survivors. This is TAX
en- here to indicate that hopes that
the Storstadt carries survivors are un-
founded.

Montreal, May 29.--Only twelve
women were saved from the Empress
of Ireland, according to a dispatch
this afternoon. The message added
that majority of the survivors were
members of the crew. Another re-
port is that many of tt passengers
were killed in their berths by the col
lision. Still another is that twenty
of the survivors have died of ex-
posure.

"The government boats Lady Eve

of Ireland. Both captains reported
that all the passengers were in life
boats of the Lady Evelyn, Eureka and
Empress. So soon as the passengers
are landed both boats will leave for

survivors"
The Canadian Pacific Railroad has
received similar message. This ap-
parently conflicts with earlier and
later reports that between 800 and
400 only were saved. 1t is pointed out,
however, that the message may mean
all the passengers who succeeded in
leaving the ship and not all who were
