They haye been five st that the investigation proj fisheries read, counsel fol doninion government gave a briel recital of the disaster, and med ately Captain Xen all was called into the box. Sho ns ua om misleading or 1 8 to a witness there are no Ina flash the president of the com- mission has interposed with some drily caustic remark, and the line of inquiry is hurriedly aban . There are many of Lord Mersey's neat little interjections and descrip- tions which will lopg be classics in Quebec. His long vowels and rather peculiar intonation, his Babit of pausing over his words are added touches of the picturesque which pack the galleries of the court day by day. On Friday one of the wit- nesses referred to a third party as a lawyer. "A liar?" asked his lordship in a tone of horror. "Not a lar, a lawyer," the witness pearsisted. "Oh, a lawyer," Lord Mersey grim- ly replied as he beamed on the crowd of counsel in the well of the court. "Well, well, there is not much difference sometimes." The Norwegian names of the crew of the Storstad gave his lordship some interesting moments. Few of them could speak English with flu- ency, and the interpre ly became mixed. "Let us have an interpreter to ex- plain the interpreter," wearly plead- ea Lord Mersey, as the court room rang with laughter. . "The 'officer from the Storstad whose name begging with a *"T." Lord Mersey called First Officer Tuftenes, "Thé neptune inn," he cynically call- ed Quartermaster Galway, of the Empress, in sarcastic reference to the place where Galway is staying in town. Another witness earned from Lord Mersey the sobriquet of the "Gentleman from Crows-Nest." The evidence submitted can scarce- ly be said to have thrown much new light on the collision. The comman- ders of the two vessels are emphatic as evar in their contraditions, Capt. Kendall persists that the Storstad chan hér course in a fog. Capt. Ande déclares that the Empress made\three blunders--blunders in steering and blunders in her signal- ling. But how the great error of Sea- manship which brought the ships to- gether in so wide a waterway was made, has not yet been told. So late in the proceedings as this morning, there seemed some possi- bility of = solving the problem. The thivd-officer of the Storstad was on the stand. He related how, on com- ing through the fog just before' the collision he had heard the order given to port the helm a little. The ves- sel did not answer, he claimed, and he himself, acting without orders from the navigating officers, threw the helm hard a-port. Again and again he was questioned whether this throwing over of the wheel without orders hadn't been responsible for the collision. The witness was equal- ly insistent. He said he had merely kept the Storstad om<her course There is, too, some unsolved mys- tery over the scrap log of the Stor- stad's engine room. The third engl- neer was on duty in the engine room when the collision occurred, yet the ! chief engineer admitted on the stand ; this morning that he had himself | made ientries in the scrap log the same evening. Pressed over and over again why he had followed this sin- gular course, the chief engineer) pleaded that his third engineer could not spell.

This officer is employed by the Mounted police, lives at the barracks, amd uniform provided for him by 'the de- partment. He must be. able te. un- derstand and speak English for he is Jie medium between the red man ibe officer of the law in the Indian territory. Usually the scout becomes a very important personage among the In- dians and is not much loved by them. While they are not usually averse to police control, yet they cannot over- some the old idea that the Medicine man and chief of the tribe should be the only Indian authority under J which they must bend. One of the most enlightened scouts inthe employ of the forcevis Eddie Spring-in-the-crowd, who for short is called plain "Eddie." What his father saw at the time of his birth to suggest such an uncommon name for his child is not known. Eddie is one of the few Indians of the blood reserve who gets mail at the local post-office. For some years Eddie has heen a subscriber to a Canadian periodical, and while the police af- firm that he does not read the liter- ature, yet they believe the pleasure of having a magazine come address- ed to himself more than offsets the small subscription he pays for it. Headsman Botches His Job. Although there is no movement in Germany to do away with capital punishment, there is one in favor of substituting the gallows for the headsman's sword employed in Prus- gia and several other German states. The reformers conténd that, while it is almost impossible for anything to go wrong with the gallows, guil- lotine or electric chair, it not infre- {quently happens that the headsman J*loseshisnerve and botches his job." ft is also held that decapitation by the sword is far more grewsome than need be, and that the sight of the black-covered block and silent exec- utioner leaning on his short broads- word is a far greater tax on a con- demned man's nerves and courage than the scaffold or chair. In Berlin the execution takes place in the courtyard of the Plotzensic Penitentiary, in which the execution- er awaits the arrival of the condem- ned man on a large flat flagstone, which gives him a firm footing, The culprit--after sentence has been read to him by one of the officials who are present, clad in evening dress---is thrown face downward on a sort of bench, in which there is a cupshaped hole for his head to rest. ie is then strapped down, and the headdman raises the sword of death up to the level of his own chin and then lets the heavy, razor-edged blade swing down. Possibly the reason tliat there has been nd movement before toward the abolition of this medieval form of execution lies in the fact that details of executions are never published in the German press, says the New York Times. However, as the death sen- tence is rarely carried out, the pub- lic does not often hear of the Saxon execution.-- Philadelphia North Am- The Testing.

When the new French Chamber meets, a freshly-elected deputy in- tends, so it is said, to propose the im- position of a tax on duels. His argu- ment will be that duels are a form , lof advertisement, and as such are as , {liable to taxation as posters and pros- pectuses. y p He suggests that duels, like rail- way trains, funerals, and Caesarean Gaul, shall be divided into three clas- ses--third, second, and first in as- cending order of taxable magnitude. For a third-class duel, "with the ordinary four seconds, a couple of general practioners, and a scratch Mh the forearm, the tax will be 50 francs. The procesverbeaux, or offi- cial accounts of the duel, must be written on papers stamped with a sixpenny stamp. ; The sanguine deputy estimates that such a tax, loyally imposed and exacted, will bring over $5,080,000 a year to the exchequér. A Versatile Organist. Geoffrey Norris, a well-known character in the country parts be- tween Wigan, Southport, and Pres- ton, England, is & man of remark- able versatility. Although he has a wooden leg, he has played the pedal organ at Wrightington Parish church for a period of nineteen and half years. Sexton and parish clerk or twenty years, he digs all the graves unaided, and has personally directed about 500 interments. He has held office in connection with ev- ery phase of Sunday school work, and has rung Good Friday "passing bel" for twenty years. For twenty-three years he has missed only one Sunday service, and that was when his own banns of marriage were called, as it is customary for those "aamed" to abstain from going to church on "panns Sundays."

Some described themselves . a8 being 'brought from the dead, having fallen under the ef- fect of the black damp before Teach- ing safety. Some heard the explosion and knew nothing until revived, while others dropped to their hands and knees and crawled to safety. There are forty-four of the sur- vivors, the latest official figures from the offices of the Hillerest Collieries, Limited, giving 237 as entering the mine in the morning. Eighty-six bod- {es have been taken out, and one hundred and seven still remain in the mine. It is practically certain every one of these latter is dead. Not a sound is hard in the mine, save that made by the rescuers themsel- ves, and the presence of fire makes it impossible for them to conduct their groesome but self-im task But still the work goes steadily on. "Yes, I was one of the lucky res- cued party," said H. Yeaden. -"And | feel as though I had been brought an from death. I was working in North 15 at the time of the explo- sion. That location is about one-quar- ter mile from the mouth of the mine. I can remember hearing the explos- jon, and that is about all I knew, with the exception of dropping down to the floor of the drift near some water, Possibly it is to that I owe my life. The next thing I Knew I wa told physicians had been using th pulmotor on me forty-five minutes." Wm. Guthrie, another of the few saved, had a thrilling escape to sa- fety. Rushing with others to the mouth of the mine, he was caught in a frog of the track, but quickly drawing a knife he released the boot from his foot, and walked to safety in hi stocking feet. Malcolm Link and Chas. Jones had similar experiences in getting to safety. They were. in 15 chute when the explosion occurred. They just heard a report as though it were shot from a battleship, so they dropped to their hands and knees and crawled to safety. 3 Chas. Ironmonger 'was thrown from the mine by the force of the ex- plosion, and was seriously injured. He was removed te the hospital, and died shortly afterwards. Arnold Varley was another of the saved. "I just heard the report," he said, "and then I rushed to safety. There were a number of others a- round me, and I can remember stum- bling over a dead corpse on the way." Chas. Murray gave up his life in an attempt to save his two boys, who were entombed in the mine. Hearing of this' he rushed in, but never came out again. An inquest was held here Satur- day afternoon on the bodies of those already taken from the mine, and a funeral was held yesterday. This in- quest was but a formal matter, in or- der to allow a ready disposal of the bodies, but an inquest proper will he held two weeks later on July 2nd, when all bodies are recovered. A carlogd of coffins has been sent from Calgary and Macleod. General Manager Brown, one of the most active of the rescuers, col- lapsed, when it became certain that his brother, William Browa, was a- mong the men imprisoned in the mine. Some idea of the collosal force of the explosion can be gained when it is realized that one man, who was working over 500 feet away was blown against the side of the room and his safety lamp snapped in two. Not a man who did not escape with- in five minutes of the explosion has lived. An engineer.at the hoist-house outside the mines, and several hun- dred feet away from the scene of the explosion, narrowly escaped death, while his building was completely demolished. It is stated that a ah boy, who was in this building at the time, was blown to atoms, Many a man makes a sirenuous el fort to recognize his duty so that he will be in a position to dodge it. There's mo reason why lightning shodldn's strike twicé in the same plgce--if it can find the place. 1 had as soon a man would me as my horse. abuse FRESH GROUND OOF- AT 40¢. CAN'T BE BEAT.
