COLLIER is BLAMED
FOR DEATHS OF 1854
Captain Kendall, Of Inflated
Ship, Tells Of Orders.

RIMOUSKI., QUE. While final
tabulations of the casualties in the
sinking of the Inflated steamer En-
press of Ireland were being made,
showing that 403 of its passengers and
crew had been rescued and 964 had
persisted, Captain Henry George Ken
dali of the liner was telling his story
Of the disaster at an inquiry conducted
by Coroner Pinaud here.
Captain Kendall, in substance, de-
clared that he had taken all possible
precautions against collision. His
ship had been stopped, he gave the re-
quisite signals when the Danish col
lier Storstad, which dealt the blow
hich sent the Empress to the bot
tom, was still two miles away, but the
collier had kept on through the fog
which settled down soon after the two
vessels sighted each other and had
rammed the Empress of Ireland while
the latter was virtually motionless.
Then, despite his plea to the master
of the collier that he run his engines
full speed ahead to keep the hole in
the liners side plugged with the Stor-
stad's bow, said Captain Kendall, the
Danish vessel backed away, the water
rushed in and the Empress sank.

REPORTERS In the Commons.

sort of official acquiescence about 1886.

occupying the back bench in the stran-

the house officials. although the latter
affected to be ignorant Of their pres

publish the daily division lists itself

idea that there was something sacred
about the doings of the house which
required the prohibition OF publicity
was exploded. After the great tire or

MILWAUKEE, WIS. = An unus-

the rest of his life to care for a COM
rade of the national soldiers home
here. who if afflicted with leprOsy, with
the knowledge that he, too, in all prob
ability will contract the disease, was
written in the records of Fred w. Cur
tenius, who it was made known has
volunteered as the attendant Of Yer
non D. Bennett, the recently dlscoV-

Curtenius destroyed every record OF
his former life, save his honorable dis
charge from the Gath regiment U. S.
infantry, in which he served through
the Spanish-American war, and enter
ed the little shack in the home
grounds that had been assigned to
Bennett.
The veteran who has thus given up
hope of ever again associating with
his fellow men is, according to the
records Of the soldiers home, SO years
old. a protestant, a laborer, unmarried
and possessing no friend in all the
world He made his decision sitting
alone in his room, weighing carefully
the result of his heroism, knowing
the extent of physical and mental suf-
fering in the knowledge that he is
banished from association with his

When the surgeon-generai of the
home, in consultation with the best
skin specialists of this city, pronounc-
ed Bennett a leper a call was MADE
for volunteers for the position Of

that it meant, for it is almost certain
that in the years that must pass be-
fore the patient dies the nurse will
have contracted the disease.

Norwegian Collier Shows Effects Of
Jamming-Reporters Ordered Off.

MONTREAL. = With the Nor
wegian flag half mast at her stern the
collier Storstad, in charge of the tug
Lord Strathcona, came into port under
her own steam. She was badly dam
aged about the bows, but so far as
could be seen this did not extend to
more than twenty feet from the stem.
She was low in the water except at
the bows where she had evidently
been lightened. Her draught was TWEEN
ty-six feet.
That the impact with the Empress
CT Ireland had been great was evident
by the way the vessels stem was
twisted to port, the hawser hole com
pletely smashed, plates cracked, rivets
twisted or missing while the heavy
anchor had evidently been driven back
several feet into the bows. Newspa-
per men who met the vessel and
boarded her were ordered off.
