Washington.-The condition of III,

Agriculture announced. 1t issuo6

age.
The low condition of the crop #
was said, was due largely to excessive
rains and exceptionally cool nights in
Central and Northwestern Texas
Eastern and Southern Oklahoma and
Southwestern Arkansas which
brought the condition percentage in
those states down to 65.6S and 70 re-
spectively. In Texas many farmers
were obliged to replant several times
No estimate of the acreage planted
to cotton will be made by the de.
partment until July 1. Unofficial est
mates of the acreage have placed it
from 3.5 per cent decrease to / per
cent increase.
In a detailed review of the cond.
lions in the cotton states the de-
partment makes favorable report on
the progress of the crop in the heavy
producing sections of Mississippi and
parts of Louisiana, Oklahoma GeOr
gia, Arkansas, and Alabama. In Tey
as, says the statement, cotton is max
ing one of the poorest starts with
messed in many years.
"a The Mississippi crop is probably N
or. IL days late. There is some com.
plant of weevils. But taking the
state as a whole" the department
says, conditions are excellent"
In parts of Oklahoma, the depart
ment says, the crop will average as
much as three weeks late, while too
much rain in lower sections has pre-
vented cultivation. In semi-arid re,
gions, however, the crop is declared
to be in excellent condition. While
the crop is said to be 10 days to two
weeks late in Alabama, general con-
ditions of cultivation are regarded as
excellent. Cool weather has retarded
growth somewhat and weevils are &C
tive in the Southwestern portion Of
the state.
The early planted cotton in GeOr
gia consisting of probably 80 per
cent of the total acreage" is reported
in good condition. "a small portion
Of the crop is not up and will not come
up until it rains," adds the report
The Georgia crop is estimated to be
about week late.
In North Carolina the crop is about
two weeks late due to dry, cool weatH
er. The early planted cotton, how
ever, is reported as in almost perfect
condition"

Victims Show Exhaustion.
The faces of all plainly registered
the frightful experience they had gone
through. Few of them possessed a
complete outfit Of clothes, the majority
wearing only shirts, trousers and
boots.
Heads were barred as the injured
were brought ashore, supported by
friends and officials of the company.
The second and third class passen-
gers and the crew were Immediately
made comfortable on the Allan liner
Alsatian, which was lying in an ad-
joining berth at the breakwater. The
first class and injured passengers we're
transferred in automobiles and other
vehicles to the Canadian F'rontenac.
A staff of doctors and nurses took
charge of the injured.
Twenty Women Are Saved.
Among the rs survivors Of the first
cabin there were eight women and one
child and, strangely, among the 20 res
cued from the second cabin there were
also eight women and one child. OF
the 1O1 persons saved from the steer
age four were women.
Among the so passengers left in
Rimoush we're number who were so
i'll or SO badly injured that they had to
be taken to the hospital.
Special praise was given the heroic
work of DR.. 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 prob
ably would have persisted had they not
received prompt medical attention.

Capt. Henry George Kendall of the

aster at an inquiry conducted by

he had taken all possible precautions
against collision. His ship had been
stopped and he gave the requisite sig
nal when the Danish COLLIER Storstad,
which sank the Empress, was two
miles away, but the collier kept on
through the fog that settled down
soon after the two vessels sighted
each other and had rammed the En-.
press while the latter vessel was mo-
tionless.
Then the End.
Then, despite his plea to the mas
ter of the collier that he run his en-
gines full speed ahead to keep the
hole In the liners side plugged with
the Storstad's bow, said Capt. Ken
dali, the Danish vessel backed away,
the water rushed in and the Empress
sank.
Capt. Kendall took up his story of
the disaster from the point at which

Quebec for Liverpool, had dropped

FACTS ABOUT LATEST
STEAMSHIP HORROR

OF the 433 persons saved from the
sinking Empress Of ireland 2s7 were
members Of the crew.
OF the 81 first cabin passengers ~
are known to be saved. 4 few others
Of the rescued remained In RImouskI,
near Father Point.
Among the 1853 second cabin pas
senaers, 20 were rescued and taken to
Quebec.
OF the us steerage passengers 1o1
were rescued and taken to Quebec.
A few third cabin passengers were
left at RImouski. ~
THE proportion Of crew rescued
caused widespread comment, and con-
trasts with the heroic record Of the
Titanic. However, the Empress Of Ire
land sank In about seventeen min
utes and there was little time for
"women and children first" Most Of
them were asleep In their berths. The
reports Indicate a lack of panic.

ireland has been equaIed or exceeded
by only four marine disasters in the

the SRhone, Wye and other vessels at
St. Thomas In the hurricane Of Octo-
Der 20, 1867, when 1000 persons per-
fshed; the burning Of the excursion
boat, General SIocum, In the East

the Blue plays Notre Dame. The de-

The Yale coaches believe that Notre

in the Yale practice to the style of
game any eleven was expected to play,
but defense will be worked up for
the Notre Dame forward passing. The
Yale defense has been left till every

but 1t is not believed Yale can defeat
Notre Dame without careful coaching
for the open game, in which the In

There is little hope that Aleck Will

the Notre Dame game. He is recover
