Himouski, Quebec.-While final tab
ulations of the casualties in the sink
ing Of the steamer Empress Of Ireland
were being made Saturday, showing
that 403 of her passengers and crew
had been rescued and 964 had per
ished, Captain Henry George Kendall
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 a collision. His
ship had been stopped, he gave the
requisite signals when the Danish col
lier Storstad, which dealt the blow,
which sent the Empress to the bottom,
was still two miles away, but the col
lier had kept on through the fog which
settled soon after the two vessels
sighted each other, and had rammed
the Empress while the latter was vir-
tually 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.
Captain Kendall, who stuck to the
bridge of his ship to the last, and after
being picked up by lifeboat aided in
saving a boatload Of persons from
the wreck, took up his story of the
disaster from the point at which the
Empress of Ireland, bound from Que
bee for Liverpool, had dropped her pi-
lot Thursday night at Father Point,
near which the disaster of Thursday
morning occurred.
Funeral Ship Lands Wreck Victims.
Quebec.-The Canadian government
steamer Lady Grey brought from
Rimouski Sunday 1873 bodies recovered
from the wreck of the Empress of Ire
land. The historic heights overlook
ing the St. Lawrence were black with
spectators as the funeral ship moved
slowly up the river. The coffins were
carried ashore and the mournful work
of Identification began without delay.
The Lady Grey was escorted by the
British armored cruiser Essex, and
fifty sailors from the war ship with
barred heads laid the coffins in rows
on three tables stretched under the
freight sheds on the pier. The build
ing was draped in black A crowd that
included many of the survivors and
relatives and friends of the dead
waited in silence for permission to
pass down the aisles between the
rows of bodies.

Buy Your Winter Supply Of Coal
Now.

When the nations Of the earth are at
peace with each other and there are no
wars to threaten the consumption OF
the coal output, it is regarded as econ
omy for everybody to purchase during
the summer season their winter supply
OF coal, and now it is much more inn
portant that this be done, as there is an
Increased demand for American coal ia
this country and abroad.
There will probably be increased de-
mand for American coal in South Amer
lea. as well as for the belligerant coun-
tries, for Great Britain has been ship
ping annually more than 5000, 600
tons, while this country has been ship
ping only csc, 900 tons, and now since
England's shipment MUST cease, the
coal mines OF America will be looked
to for the supply.
If at any time there has been good
reason for buying winter supply Of coal
during the summer, there is now good
reason for it.

the United States are regarded i'm Of
fetal and diplomatic circles as notice
to the world that nations of this hem
isphcre stand for the settlement of
american questions by Americans.
Latin American diplomats look
on the mediation proceedings as OF
far-reaching importance. They be-
lieve the South American republics
acted in sincere good will to the
United States and in sympathy for
Mexico.
The joint actions of the govern
monts of Brazil, Argentina and Chile,
it was learned today, had it's inception
on the occupation by the United
States of Vera Cruz. Today the medi-
ators were in conference formulating
plans, which are tentative until
Huerta replies to the communication
forwarded last night.
Plans for further action were con-
'sidered but no intimation of their
character was disclosed.
The mcdiators found their col
leagues in the Latin American diplO-
matte corps deeply gratifed at the at
ttude assumed by the United States
through its prompt acceptance OF the
mediation offer. News of it was
cabled to every South and Central
American capital. The state depart
ment also notified American ambassa-
doris and ministers of the inception Of
the negotiations.
