ANOTHER FLOATING
CITY COMING ACROSS
Immense Cunard Liner AQuitania
Steams Tomorrow on Her Maiden
Voyage from England

Liverpool, May 29.-The giant
Cunarder Aquitania, iBritain's larg-
est liner and the worlds most lux
urious ship, sails tomorrow on her
maiden voyage to New York. The
liner which cost roughly S1O,OOO,OOO
to build, is 9O1 feet long, 81 feet
breadth. and her gross tonnage is
47,OOO. Although she will share the
mail service, with the Mauretania
and the Lusitania, the Aquitania will
not try to beat the records of her
speedy sisters but will content her
self with a comparatively modest %
knots an hour.
Accommodation is provided for
900. Warned by the Titanic dis
aster the designers have allotted
boats for all. A new feature is the
provision of two powerful motor
launches which if necessary can tow
the ordinary lifeboats. Each is fit
ted with 300-mile range wireless in
stallation in case Of accident to the
liners main apparatus. The Aqui
tania is two ships in one, for the in
ner shell is separated from the outer
shell by fifteen feet, which with a
new system of watertight compart-
ments. is reckoned to make The ves-
sci unsinkablo.
All modern luxuries such as
drawing rooms, lounges, smoking
rooms, veranda cafes, foyers, res
taurants, grill room, swimming bath
and gymnasium are provided, but

is the Long Gallery, which runs
from the first class smoking room to
the lounge and is yeritable mu-

PROMOTING INTERESTS
OF PACIFIC PORTS
Big Appropriations for Oregon and
Washington Added to the
River and HarbOr Bill

Washington, May 29-While the
river and harbor appropriation bill
is still held in the Senate committee
on commerce, and the additions
made to the House bill are still SUBJ
ject to the secrecy that is put upon
members of committees dealing with
appropriations until the bills are
finally reported to the Senate, enough
has been learned to predict that the
Senate committee on commerce has
increased or added to the waterways
bill some ten millions OF dollars.
One-half OF these increases being
given to the Pacific northwest. Four
millions, one hundred thousand dol
lars have been added for the pur-
pose of improving the mouth of the
Columbia in Oregon and Washington
and the north jetty
While the river and harbor bill
may be larger than any of its imme-
diate predecessors, the increases are
justified by the increasing demands
of commerce. the Pacific northwest
being particularly enthusiastic over
the vastly Increased tonnage prom
ised that rapidly growing section as
a result of the opening OF the Pan
anna canal
A member OF the subcommittee
of the committee on commerce,
speaking of the additions made to
the bill for river and harbor i'm
provement. said:
Every single project for which
an additional appropriation is made
has been approved by the board of
engineers Of the army. Much of the
money appropriated is for the pur-
pose of bringing market nearer to
sections OF the country which have
no rail communications, and / be-
lieve it safe to say that no appro-
priations have been made where rail
communication exists which will not
serve to make the navigable water
ways competitors for freight and
serve to reduce and regulate the rail
rate in the interest OF both the pro-
ducer and the consumer"

LITTLE HOPE
FOR THEIR LIVES
OF THE EMPRESS OF IRELAND'S
MISSING PEOPLE-THAT THE
DEATH LIST Is OVER 1000 IS
ALMOST CERTAIN.

Montreal, May 29.-After revising
the passenger list of the Empress Of
Ireland this afternoon, the Canadian
Pacific officials state that there were
1867 persons aboard that vessel.
With only 337 known to have been
rescued, of which number twenty

at 1852.
The Empress was valued at ST.
100000 and its cargo at $350,0O0.
The Alsation, which was at first
reported to have rescued 500, is now
known to have been 800 miles to sea
at the time of the accident. Wire
less reports this afternoon state that
the Lady Evelyn picked up IT bodies
where the collision occurred.
