lay in wake, and the Anglican Cathedral, where there were seven, were thronged with a pitying flow of people.SERVICE AT CATHEDRAL At the Anglican Cathedral the service this morning opened at nine and

SCENE.A touching scene was noticed at the Anglican Cathedral when the organ, at the quietest moment of the ceremony, struck up the Titanic-famed hymn, \"Nearer My God to Thee.\u201d The grandeur of the scene literally appalled the hundreds of the grief-stricken mourners.Survivors of the Ill-fated Empress bent low, with heads bowed down, by the revival the hymn brought for them the horror of the Titanic disaster, so repeated in the Empress disaster.800 ENTOMBED IN THE EMPRESS SHIP WILL BE RAISED IF AT ALL , POSSIBLE SAYS C.P.R.OF-*\tCIALS.Quebec, June 4.\u2014As nearly as Can be figured out, about 800 bodies are entombed in the Empress of Ireland, at the bottom of the St.Lawrence, three miles off Father Point in 100 feet of water.Some of these may be free in the water, and so may come up later, but it Is believed that the great majority of them arc still in the vessel.No decision has been arrived at as yet with regard to what will be done with the vessel itself.Capt.Walsh, marine superintendent of the C.P.R., is now in communication with several leading salvage firms of the United States, and is awaiting advice from them as to what should be done with the sunken hull.If at all possible the ship will be raised and towed to shore and the bodies will be taken out.This, however, depends upon the advice of the experts.\"The only thing I can say so for,\u201d said Capt.Walsh yesterday, \u201cis that If It is found possible to remove the Ireland and get the bodies out of her, it will bo done without nny question as to difficulty or expense.\u201d When the Allan liner Alsatian sails to-day It will take the bodies of Chief Officer Steede, James Wilsman, storekeeper ; Miss Alice Riddell, stewardess, and Mr.and Mrs.W.Leonard Palmer.Several of the first and second-.s- cabin passengers will also sail by the ' Alsatian, including Charles Mallocb, (Continued, on Page 5) 2 KILLED WHEN BRAKES FAILED Mother and Daughter Were the Victims When Car Crashed Into Motor Car MOTORMAN STUCK TO HIS POST AND RECEIVED SERIOUS INJURIES FROM BROKEN GLASS Montreal, June 4.\u2014With useless brakes, a street car raced down Atwater avenue towards St.An to ne, at 6.20 o\u2019clock last night, crashed into a motor car and killed Mrs.Emile ¦Robillard, of 225 Hamilton street, and her daughter Blanche, aged sixteen years.Injuries that may result fatally were sustained by the dead woman\u2019s husband and her eight-year-old son, Emile.Mr.Robillard and his son were taken to Western Hospital at the top of the hill, which gave the car its fatal impetus, and are reported to be critical condition.The mother and daughter were taken to the morgue, where an inquest will be opened this morning by Coronor McMahon.Motorman Roscoe Chenevert, despite his knowledge that nothing could stop the car, stayed at his post, receiving serious lacerations of his arms from the broken glass of his window and a painful blow in the abdomen when he was thrown against the controller of the car by the shock of the collision.He gasped out an explanation of the accident in the ambulance, saying that the brakes of the car No.1015 were defective and that the Tramways inspector at the corner of Atwater and St.Catherine streets had ordered the car to the shops.PLOT AGAINST PRES.POINCARE Discreditable Attack Made by His Opponents on Mme Poincare üM.SmhL -

Farmers Bank Bill Under GORfBI\u2019BIlCB Will Not RfiSUIDB Discussion PARTY LINES WERE NOT STRICTLY ADHERED TO BY THE SPEAKERS.Ottawa, June 4.\u2014The Farmers\u2019 Bank bill came up for second reading yesterday and resulted in an all night sitting, previous to a division which was looked for in the early hours of morning.There was a long list of speakers, some half a score In all expressing views for and against the appropriation of $1,200,-000 by Parliament to reimburse the depositors in the wrecked institution.A feaeure of, the speeches was that they did not adhere to strict, party lines, some Ontario Liberals and some French Conservatives differing with their parties in favoring and opposing the legislation respectively.The speakers yesterday were nearly all from Ontario and Quebec.On the Government side Hon.T.W.Oroth-ers, Minister of Labor, and Hon.L.P.Pelletier, Postmaster-General, were SAYS ROOSEVELT IS UNDESIRABLE Leading Spanish Paper Quite Outspoken as to Ex-Pre-sident of U.S.ministerial crisis has taken SECOND PLACE IN VIEW OF THE CHARGE MADE.LondA, June 4.\u2014The Daily Express\u2019 Paris correspondent says : \u201cThe anti-President campaign has become the chief topic of conversation in political and social circles.In the lobbies of the chamber even the ministerial crisis seemed to be taking the second place in people\u2019s thoughts.\u201d The correspondent interviewed Guy de Cassagnac, who said he published his article in L\u2019Autorite in the interests of France.He declares the authors of the plot to compel Poincare to resign by attacking the private life of Mme.Poincare are acting not only from personal spite and hatred, but from political motives.\u201cM.Poincare embodies the policy of the three year bill,\u201d said M.de Cassagnac.\u201cIts opponents are also his opponents.They are making common cause with those who would like to distract attention from the coming trial of Mme.Caillaux.They would set the President\u2019s wife against the wife of M.Caillaux.We will not permit our country to be besmirched.The honor of France is our only care.It would be an insult to the sovereigns who have been received in the name of France by M.Poincare and his wife if any political party In France were to be allowed to discredit the Presiaent and his wife, 'T fear this scandal cannot be prevented, but if the President adopts a strong attitude he will have the country behind him, and by a strong attitude I mean that he should not depart from his principles or his policy.\u201d VIVIANI MAY BE PREMIER.Paris, June 4.\u2014It is regarded as certain that Rene Viviani will he one j of the first approached by President1 Poincare to form a cabinet to succeed that of Gaston Doumergue.The President faces a difficult situation In finding a new premier, because it is necessary to unearth a man within his own party who will agree to the changes in policy made imperative by the great gain of the Socialists in the Chamber.The three years bill is the crux of the political situation in France to-day.The Socialists are unalterably opposed to it.President Poincare and his adherents are committed to It.-4- ST.LAWRENCE ROUTE SAFE London, June 4\u2014The Times m an editorial yesterday morning, protests against the disaster to the Empress of Ireland as ebldence of the dangerousness of the St.Lawrence

in \u201dEI Imparcial,\u201d the most influential and widely read paper in Spain, declares Colonel Roosevelt\u2019s approaching visit is undesirable.The \u201cEl Imparcial\u2019s\u201d editorial recalls that Colonel Roosevelt fought as a volunteer against the Spaniards and declares that his actions were most unfriendly to Spain.The paper also reminds its readers of the strong anti-Spanish sentiment which preva,.ed in the United States at that time, and says that in a circus performance in New York City a trained monkey was exhibited trampling on the Spanish flag, to the huge delight of the audience.REARRANGEMENT OF RINGS Committee in Charge of Redistribution Bill Fail to Reach Agreement JAPANESE NAVAL INCIDENT Berlin, June 4\u2014Herr Liebknecht has now published in Vorwaerts new

disappearing, though It was understood generally that everything had been arranged satisfactorily.The final meeting of the committee In charge of the measure was held last night, and, to the surprise of all, the Liberal members of the com-mittse refused to accept the rearrangement of the constituencies.The committee split on the union of Prescott and Russell, in Ontario, and of Richmond and South Oape Breton in Nova Scotia.Russell is represented by Hob.Charles Murphy, and Richmond by G.W.Kyte, M.P., and they apparently had influence enough to prevent their party accepting what is generally recognize! as the fairest redistribution measure ever offered an Opposition.DR.HERRIDGE IS MODERATOR Ottawa Minister Elected at Session of Presbyterian Gen-aral Assemby FIVE NAMES WERE NOMINATED BUT

names upon which a vote was taken were those of Dr.Herridge, Rev.Principal Scrimger, of Montreal College, and Rev.D.D.McLeod, of Byron.In accordance with the usual custom a standing vote was taken with Dr.Scrimger and Dr.McLeod, the latter being declared the choice.A similar vote was taken between Dr.McLeod and Dr.Herridge, the latter being elected by a large majority.SENATORS DISCUSS TARIFF CHANGES DETECTIVES TO INVESTIGATE Rome celebrated\u2018her 2667th birthday on April 21, with a general hoisting of flags and ifluminatlon, but there was no rei ival this year of the celebrated Feast of the Century, the ancient ceremony which was last attempted In 1900, when the Forum and Palatine rang as It did twenty centuries before, with the invocation by Horace to the \u201cAlma Sol,\u201d In which he asserted that the sun irv its passage around the world would see no such sight as Rome.Although the year of Rome\u2019s birthday is officially recognized as 750 B.C., recent archaeological discoveries indicate that it should be moved back many centuries.f The first coins of North America were issued In the Sdmmer Islands, now known as the Bermudas, in 1616.The earliest United States

regretting that the Government had not reduced the tariff, Senator Choquette in the Upper House yesterday said he did not think the Senate should be called upon to vote on party lines and commit themselves to a line of action, which they would probably repudiate should the Liberals be called to office in the next election.The tariff was also used as a vote-catching device.It was the convenience of political1 opportunists.Senator MacKay, of Cape Breton, ! said that he felt a good deal as Senator Choquette did.He adjourned the debate.Will Endeavour to Get at True Facts in Connection With Richmond Tragedy ADJOURNED INQUEST INTO THE DEATH OF MRS.J.B.VIGER TO BE RESUMED THIS EVENING.Richmond, June 4.\u2014(Special) \u2014 The adjourned inquest into the death of

evening so that the jury will be in a position to form a verdict which will clear up the mystery.Hon.P.S.G.Mackenzie was here yesterday and after the facts had been laid before him in connection with the tragic death of Mrs.Viger, he got into communication with the Attorney-General\u2019s Department.It is expected as a result of this move, that a provincial detective will be on the scene

4\u2014(Suecial)\u2014 The three Liberal members, J.A.McMillan, Glengarry, Duncan Ross, West Middlesex, and E.W.Nesbitt, North Oxford, voted with the Government.Paul Lamarche, Conservative, Nicol-et, stated that had he not been paired and unable to vote, he would have voted against the resolution.Premier Borden, the last speaker, said that the Hon.Mr.Fielding should not have issued the certificate, but as he had done so, and the hank failed, the Government was morally bound to aid the depositors.the principal speakers.Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux opposed the legislation strongly, and, like other Opposition speakers, protested against it on the ground that it was setting a dangerous precedent, and that it was sectional legislation designed to implement a Conservative pre-election pro-| mise in Ontario.Another ground of j argument by the Liberal members ! was that the Banque Ville Marie, Banque St.Jean and other institu-! tions in Quebec province which had failed were entitled to the same con-| sidération as the Farmers Bank.Government speakers supported the legislation because, they said, the loss to depositors would never have occurred had Hon.W.S.Fielding listened to warnings and refused to issue a certificate to a bank with W.R.Travers at its head.Until Carranza's Position is Settled A.B.0.DIPLOMATS HAVE NOT?YIELDED AN INCH TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT.Niagara Falls, Ont., June 4.\u2014(Special)\u2014Despite the mild denial given out last night by the mediators, there is no doubt that the mediation proceedings are at an absolute standstill.This deadlock will not be broken before the question of Carranza\u2019s participation in the conference here is definitely settled.Not even the informal conversations, which have been the chief feature of the negotiations, were held yesterday._ The mediators have yielded to the American delegates to the extent at least of withdrawing from their original stand that Carranza, having once rejected their invitation, would under no circumstances be admitted.The A.B.C.diplomats have, however, not yielded an inch to the State Department or to General Carranza in the matter of putting temporary-stop to the revolution, which is de» vastating Mexico.-+- , THREAT MADE BY SYLVIA PANKHURST SAYS SHE WILL LIE ON DOOR STEPS OF COMMONS UNTIL GRANTED INTERVIEW London, June 4\u2014\u201cI will lie on the steps of the House of

alone responsible for militancy and suggestions of wholesale incendiarism, were made.-4- EMPRESS VICTIM HAD $6,200 IN BELT.Montreal, June 4.\u2014Inquiries were being made here yesterday as to the
