Quebec, March 23.-- Tudsement given in the Admiralty Court Judge Routhier, in the case of a Canadian Salvage Company against the Aetna, Western and other insur- ! ance companies for salvage for 251 bars of silver which the salvage 'company recovered from the wreck of the ill-fated Empress of Ireland. #The Canadian Salvage Company was awarded $22 685 salvage in addition| to $36,172 expenses for saving the! silvér from the wreck. i it will be remembered that when the case started some time ago it created considerable interest in mar- ine circles in view, not omly:-of the world famous wreéck coneerned, but of the curious circumstances sur- rounding the case. The insurance companies interested had the metal turned over to them by the shippers after paying the loss, to do whatev- er they could with it. The Salvige Company was called into segvice and recovered the silver. This done, the underwriters were willing to pay them their expenses, but nothing more, for the raising of the silver. ~The Capadian Salvage Company .| also salved thé mails, for which they received $10,000 from the post of- fice, recovered a number of bodies, and brought to the surface the pur- ger's strong box, for which they were paid $35,000 by the Canadian Pacific Railway. | THE TRAGEDY OF PRINCESS PATRICIAS. * " anununition, ne- He (Special Pelrograd, March lion Rus A{roops, inspired by news of the fall of Przemysl, are pressing forward in a gigantic for- ward movement all along the Carpa- thians, according to War Oflice des- patches to-day.

Berlin, via The Hague, Mareh 23--The German press this afternoon frankly admitted to-day that the fall of Przemysl was a severe blow to the Austrian al- lies, but praised the Austrian defenders. "We thoroughly agree that the fall of Przemysl has no important military bearing," said the Kreuz Zeitung. "but we admit it is a painful blow."
