considerable questioning as to his whereabouts on the morning of the fire, Bowers ackuowledged be had slept in the lumber yard just east of the location of the fire He denied he had been in any saloon at the time the night men declared he had and made general denial of any complicity in the matter.
 Bowers actions since he has been in the district have also been inyes- tigated He has been here since be- fore the Johnson Addition blaze, and has been known to have worked but three days in that time, receiving two dollars a day for the work He has approached a secondhand dealer in Lowell several times during the past three weeks desiring to sell valuable articles The stoTekeeper has bought several of them including watch and other trinkets He offered for safe a fine pair of field glasses, a gold watch, a silver watch and a | fine meerschaum pipe inlaid with silver sprays. Neither of these last mentioned articles were bought.
 According to the secondhand deal Ter Bowers acted very peculiar when he made the sales He warned the store man not to tell about the pur- chases or he would kin him
 The hypothesis is that Bowers was either directly responsible for the fire in Johnson Addition or hung around the blaze and robbed the ruins If anyone who lost any of thei mrasll possessions during the fire would confer with Officer Ora ham it is likely that additional light can be thrown on the case.
 i Nothing is known of Bowers pre- vious to his arrival in the Warren District He was in the Lowell Jail for ten days some weeks ago for disturbing the peace. The officers are busy clearing up details of the
 case. Deputy Graham is sure that he has bad man in custody and hopes
 to complete the trail of evidence against him.

 the liner had gone down. Only floating wreckage few lifeboats and rafts from the steamer buoying up less than a third of those who set sail on her. were to be found. The rest had sunk with the liner, OF been crushed to death in the storstad's impact. or been forced from exhaustion or exposure in the ice-chilled northern waters to lose their hold on the bits of wreckage that supported them and drowned.
 Only a few persons were picked up by the Storstad which was badly crippled herself by the collision. These were brought here by the collier. together with those saved by the Eureka and Lady Evelyn. Twen' ty-two of the rescued died from in. iuries or exposure The others, most of whom had jumped into boats or plunged into the water scantily clad were freely given such clothing as the town could supply and later those who were able to travel were placed aboard trains and started for Quebec, where they arrived tonight
 Accounts agree that in the briei space of time-not more than four teen between the shock Of the collision and the sinking of the liner. there was little chance for systematic marshalling of the passen gers. Everything indicates that hun dreds of those on the steamer prob ably never reached her decks.

 "It all happened so quickly that we do not really know what was going on Nobody had time to cry women first, one passenger told Captain Belhnger of the rescue boat Eureka "The stewards did not have time to arouse the people from their berths. Those who heard the fren- zied calls of the officers for passeu- gers to hurry on deck lost DO time in obeying them, rushing up from their cabins in scsnty attire They piled into the boats, which were rapidly lowered, and rowed away. Many who waited to dress were drowned"
 The horror of the interval during which the Empress was rapidly fill ing, with the frightened throngs on board hurrying to escape before she sank, was added to by an explosion which quickly followed the ripping and tearing given the liner by the Storstad's bow According to one of the rescued the explosion probably was caused by water reaching the boilers. It bulged the liners sides and hurled people from the decks out into the sea.
 The ships heavy list as the water was pouring in5 weighted her on the side she was struck and made the work of launching her boats increas ingly difficult When she finally tooK the plunge to the bottom, scores ol persons stu on the decks were car ried down in the vortex Only a few were able to clear her sides and find support on the pieces of wreckage

 Kendall stood on his bridge as his ship went down. One of the boats from the liner picked him up and he directed it's work of saving others until the craft was loaded The cap tain was injured in the crash and suffered from exposure, but his speedy recovery is expected

 LINES UP MEDIATORS

WASHINGTON, May 29.-MeXican mediation was the subject of discus sion at cabinet meeting. The ad- ministration took the positive position that communication forwarded the mediators at Niagara Falls by Car ranza should be received.
 The President announced to the cabinet that Carranza had addressed note to the mediation conference seeking representation. The details of the Carranza message were not discussed. but 1t was later declared that the administration took the view that Carranza should not be . ignored.
 While the cabinet was in session, word came from Niagara Falls that there was doubt whether Juan UT uuidi. the agent of Carranza, would be received by the mediators Later lit was learned that the administra- ton directed to the American repre- Isentatives at the peace conference an urgent message that Carranza's message be accepted.
 When the last word came that the Imediators had agreed to receive Car lranza's communication, government | officials expressed the opinion that this important development would ul- lumately lead to participation by the rebels in the mediation proceedings. With relation to German shipments of arms to Puerto Mexico. it de veloped that the United States may be called upon to pay compensation | for the delay of the delivery of the | Ypiranga's cargo of war munitions, originally consigned to Vera Cruz
 but hel don board on account of American occupation of that port,
 It became known that negotiations were in progress between the French and German concerns which sold
