Lord Mersey, who presided over tho
British inquiry into the loss Of life on
the Titanic, is to be member of the
royal commission appointed to investi.
gate the Empress Of Ireland disaster,
was received here with satisfaction. As

Quebec.
Another change has been made in
the number of dead. The latest

Steamship Co., show that 1924 persons
perished as result of the collision be-
tween the Empress of Ireland and the
collier Storstad. The company has
learned that there we're 1,476 persons
aboard the Empress instead of 1887
as heretofore stated, hence the in.
crease in the death list. The total
saved is now given as 452.
