MUSK-RATS FROM AMERICA
CAUSE ALARM IN GERMANY

Berlin, July 1.-The American
musk-rat is invading Germany. He has
not come directly from America, but by
way of Austria. About nine years ago
a large landowner of Bohemia import
ed ten pairs of the animals from AM
erica and turned them loose on his
estate, which lies some twenty five
miles from Prague. They propagated
rapidly and soon over ran all Bohemia.
Recently they have crossed the Saxon
frontier into Germany. and now 1t is
regarded as only question of time
when all German streams and lakes
will bc infested with them.
The spread Of the animals is regard
ed with alarm by fishermen; for it is
claimed that. although a vegetarian in
America, the musk-rat has become
carnivoruus i'm Europe, and the whole
tribe Of fishes, from the delicate brook
trout to the heavy, mud-sodden carp,
is prayed upon by him indscriminate-
~. Another Of the evil habits of the
animal is that he Burrows into the
dams of fish-ponds and let's out the
water. While the American visitor was
at first regarded as a valuable ac-
QUESTION to the fauna of the country
and was protected against poachers,
there is now a general demand that he
be declared an outlaw against whom
everybody shall be invited to make
war

GOVERNMENT FORCES
IN MANITOBA WIN
Returns Indicate Victory for the
Roeblin Administration

Winnipeg. July 11.-Although the re-
turns of Yesterdays general provin-
cial election were not complete early
today, the reelection of the govern
ment of Sir Redmond Roeblin. and a
conservative or government legisla-
ture, seemed assured.
Returns up to early today gave the
government forces twenty-three of the
forty-six seats, and the Progresslves
or Liberals twenty -one the remaining
two being in doubt.
The campaign was one of the bitter
est i'm the history of the province of
Manitoba. The government of Sir Rod
mond Roeblin has been i'm power for
fifteen years. and opposition To it was
determined and strong, having what is
known as progressive" forces united
to overthrow the Roeblin cabinet
on platform of prohibition, initiative
and referendum and compulsory edu-
cation.
Supporting the government were
powerful liquor interests. Polls opened
at o'clock yesterday morning and at
that time booths i'm the city had hun
dreds marshaled on the outside. Voting
was slow. as the opposition insisted
upon swearing many of those whose
names were on the list, and feeling
ran high.

Still in Good Condition.

his home at Pocantico Hills. John ID.
Rockefeller passed the three quarters
post on his Journey through life this
week. Persons who have seen Mr.
Rockefeller recently declare that he
looks far from his seventy-five years.
At sixty years of age the Standard
Oil magnate was said to have been
about "all in," as the saying is. For
years he had been sufferer from
chronic Indigestion. Careful living
and plenty of outdoor exercise on the
golf links evidently effected cure
which more than one physician had
failed to bring about. Certain it is,
that today Mr.. Rockefeller appears TO

Wreck Commission Reports To-
day Finding Alfred Tufteness
Wrong and Negligent in A.
tering Course in the Fog
CAPTAIN NOT CALLED
Why Steamer Sank So Quickly
Is|mpOTtant Question Which
Remains TO Be Considered
by the Investigators

Quebec, July 1.-THE collier Stor-
stad is held to blame for the Empress
of ireland disaster in the findings of
the wreck commission handed down to-
day.
The commission holds the disaster
was due TO the Storstad's change Of
course, ordered by the third officer
without instruction from the first Of
ficer who was in charge of the collier
at the time.
The Empress was sunk in the ST.
Lawrence on May 20 with a loss of
more than thousand lives.
The cOllier's third officer found re-
sponsible is Alfred Tuftenes. He was
on the bridge when the crash occur
red
we regret" says the findings, "to
have to impute blame to any one in
connection with the lamentable disas-
ter, and should not do so IL we felt
any other reasonable alternative was
left to us We can come to no other
conclusion than that Tuftenes was
wrong and negligent in altering his
course in the fog as he undoubtedly
did, and that he was wrong and negli-
gent in keeping the navigation of the
vessel in his own hands and failing
to call the captain when he saw the
fog coming on.
1T is not to be supposed the disas-
ter was in any way attributal TO any
special characteristics of the St.
Lawrence waterways. II was disas-
ter which might have occurred in the
Thames, in the Mersey or elsewhere
under similar circumstances.
such is the conclusion we have ar
rived on the question as To who was
to blame for the disaster. But the ques
tion of much greater public interest
and importance remains 10 be con-
sidered. viz: Why the ship sank SO
quickly. and what steps, If any. can he
taken 10 prevent the terrible conse-
disasters
The main difference between the
stories Of the officers Of the Empress
and Storstad is to be found in the de-
scription of the way in which the two
vessels were approaching each other
at the time.
witnesses of the Storstad say they
were approaching so as to pass from
red to red, while those Of the Empress
say they were approaching to pass
from green to green. The stories are
irreConCilable.
we have come To the conclusion
that Tuftenes was mistaken if he sup
posed there was any Intention on part
OF the Empress to pass from port to
port or that she, by her lights, mani
Tested an intention of doing so. bJp it
appears To US TO be a mistake which
would have been of no consequence if
both ships had subsequently kept their
There is in our opinion no ground
for saying that the course OF the En-
press was ever changed in the sense
that the wheel was wilfully moved"
