It may be that, from the stepping-stone of an absolute dictatorship, supported by public opinion, Yuan SHIE-KAI may eventually be persuaded to follow the example of the founder of the Ming dynasty and establish in his own person a new Imperial line, but all the weight of classical tradition and his own proclaimed convictions would appear to point rather to the probability of a Regency, accompanied by the restoration of the Emperor HSCAN TUNG, under con- ditions greatly limiting the prerogatives and privileges of the Imperial Clans and Banoermen."

BERLIN, May 31st,

Two hundred and ten bodies have been recovered.

All accounts bear testimony to the splendid conduct of Captain Kendall after his ship was struck. He was on the bridge holding on to the rail with one hand and having a megaphone in the other. He dashed down the deck shouting. "Release all available boats," and then returned to the bridge shouting: Keep your heads," and "Stewards, Brouse everybody; break down the doors if locked;" and, again, Women and children first!!! -

Though soaked after his rescue he continued his unceasing exertions to save life, and finally broke down utterly exhausted.

One hundred and eighty-eight of the dead have been brought here for identification.

The Captain has been served with a writ claiming two million dollars (geld} on behalf of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company.

The Captain of the Storstadt refused to make a statement, but a sailor. said the Captain was off duty at the time of the accident.

It appears that the Storstadt saved 450 people from the Empress of

Ireland.

Yel, after rescuing some 350 people, six miles from the coast, she seems to have sat her course up the river for Montreal, which it has taken her three days in her crippled condition to reach. The sufferings of the rescued people, both mentally and physically, can be imagined. It is hardly likely that the Storstadt was in a position to provide food, clothing and accommodation for 350 people, and it is strange that no passing steamer equipped with wireless telegraphy was able to give earlier news of the whereabouts of the Storstadt with her human freight. Confirmation of the statement that the Storstadt appears to have 350 people from the Empress of Ireland" will be cagerly awaited.]

The mediaval methods of Chineso soldiery are described in a White Paper, giving correspondence on affairs in Chino, says a London contemporary. The docu ment deals chiefly with the efforts of Yuan Shih-kai to establish a Republic on a settled basis, and the revolt against his authority of the Huang-Hsing faction, which was finally overcome by the capture. of Nasking on September 1st.

Mr. B. Alston (Chargé d'Affairs at "General Chang sun had previously Peking) explains on September 12th: declared that he would permit no pillage or outrages of any kind to occur after his. entrance into the city. The General, however, discreetly remained outside for three days, during which time his troops were allowed uncontrolled licence. After establishing himself in Nanking on went September 4th, Chang Haun through the formality of posting up, stringent orders, and of decapitating a few of the looters who were caught red- handed, but by that time there was nothing left to loot."
