T.ondon, June 4.--~0On the first report of the Empress of Ireland catastrophe £100.00 was mentioned as the ap- proximate cargo Hability to be add- ed to the insurance of £400,000 on the hull and disembursement, but now it ia feared that the liability will be far in excess of this, Regarding the Cobalt specie which went down, the Financial Times savs | that there is nothing in the news to stagger the market even if the report- ed extent of the loss he correct, as it should be possible to salvage the bul- lion.

Defends Empress Crew Quebee, June 4.--A strong word of protest was uitered last evening by Capt. Murray, harbormaster of Ques bee, who for many years was com- mander of various ("P.R. vessels, and until her final fatal voyage was cap- tain of the steamer Empress of Ireland, against criticisms of the crew of the Empress of Ireland in the re- cent catastrophe. "I hear that there has been a lot of adverse ' criticism regarding «+ the number of the Ireland's crew saved,' said Capt. Murray to the Gazette last night, "and T wang to say a word for these good fellows. It is hard fof! a landsman to understand the exact eir- cumstances, but there are standing or- ders that in any emergency such as a collision the crew must immediately hasten to their stations at the boats My information is that the instant Capt. Kendall saw that a collision was inevitable he gave the order to the second officer to call all hands to the boats. "This order was. instantly obeyed and that is why the men Te saved. They rushed to the upper decks in an effort to launch the boats and were tipped ofi#into the sea when the Em: press careened after the other vessel backed away. a "The spirit of both officers and crew was shown by the work of the chief officer, Mr. Steede, who marched up in his pajamas and started chopping the boats free. He was crushed to death by he fall of boxes hurtling down as the ship lurched. But before he was killed he got several boats cut loose, which later saved a number of people." » C.M.B.A. INSURANCE. }Senate Bill Permitting' Increase in Rates Reported.
