dress was not the conventional speech
usually given before an assemblage
gathered to witness the graduation OF
O. class from an educational institu-

story of Mr.. Martinez's trip to South
America as the representative OF
President Wilson for the purpose or
interesting the various nations of that
continent in the Panama Pacific ex-
position and to win their lasting
friendship Mr.. Martinez's remarks
were appropriate to the occasion. in

sibility rests upon American citizens
Mr.. Martinez said the future OF the
United States, because Of the building
of the Panama canal. Is linked with
that of South America. He said the

growing less and less. and it ia his ha-

Rimousd, Quebec. May 20 Prob
ably more than 1000 lives and surely
not less than 700 were lost when the
great Canadian Pacific liner Empress
of ireland sank today in the st. Law
renee river, ripped open from amid
ships to stern by the Danish collier
Storstad.
This was the estimate made here
this afternoon where the hysterical
survivors, many of them pitiably
manned and almost naked, were being
brought. 1t was based on the fact that
the Empress carried 1,437 persons all
told, of whom 1899 were rescued and
landed here by the ships Eureka and
Lady Evelyn. The Storstad, at first
reported to have more than 300 surviv-
ors on board, has sailed for Quebec
after landing only handful of rescued
and number of dead.
OF those saved crew members and
third class passengers predominated.
From partial lists available at 2 o.
clock it was evident that but mere
sprinkling of the first class passen-
gers were saved. Only three names
ilGof those in the cabins appeared in the
soPfeihninary lists Of rescued. They
Z we're 6. w. G. Henderson and G. r.
Burt, address unstated, and Walter
Fenton of Manchester England.
The stricken vessel sank as if she
we're q log. An explosion, apparently
originating in her engine room, hast.
ened her end and those persons who
had to make their way from the cab
ms found themselves on perilously
sIanting deck.
Many injured While Escaping
Many leaped and were drowned.
Others were fortunate enough to
grasp driftwood or we're picked up by
iifeboats. 1t is apparent that the
great hole torn in the ships side ad-
mitted such deluge Of water that
many ii1ist have been overcome in
their beds. The rescued. 1ghting
their way to the lifeboats from the
careening deck, clinging desperately to
the rails or leaping blindly overheard,
broke their arms or legs or otherwise
injured themselves SO badly that %
died after being picked up.
Groaning and in some cases practi-
cally insensible, others were landed
here, while the populace of the village
gathered with medicines and stimuli
ants to relieve their suffering. A spe
cial train was made up this afternoon
and many were taken to Quebec and
Montreal. The president of the Cana
dian Pacific railway issued a state
ment saying the Empress had sunk
within "A minutes. No one on board
had time to seize his belongings, much
less to dress. Those found in the life

music was furnished by the church

connected with Mr.. Sanborns death
were particularly sad. He left his
boarding place Thursday forenoon,
apparently in his usual health and
spirits, and not until Friday morning
were fears felt for his whereabouts.
Inquiries being made, it was found
he was last seen by some young
boys who we're playing ball in o.
B. Cuttings pasture back of the viii
lage, where Mr.. Sanborn passed
them about IL O'Clock Thursday.
Searching parties went out in that
direction Friday afternoon and again
Saturday morning, when his body
was discovered about 10 minutes
walk from where he was seen by the
boys. The cause of his death is not
known. Mr.. Sanb0rn was a genial
character, respected by all, an in
terested worker in both the MethO-
dist and Universalist churches. He
