Ho said— " I am n New i'ork citizen , and have eo fnr agreed with the neutral attitude taken up by my covmtTy. This, however , has changed my views, anj , if I mistake not , the minds of thousands of mv countrymen. " T/he absence of intelli gence of the passengers and crew for some hour3 caused the gravest fear3 and ugl y rumours , but in the course of the evening news filtered throug h that boats lielonginf; to the Lusitania had been sighted , and that vessels were picking them up. This information g;>vo rise to renewed hopes that a large number of passengers and crew were saved. The Luistania carried boats .sufficient to accommodate all on board , and happ ily the weather and sea conditions apnenr to have been favourable ior the launching of the lifeboats. Vp to midni ght no more definite news was tn \-i t r \ A HISTORY OF TH E LOST Ll J NEit. The Lusitania , with her sister ship, the Mauretania , marked something like a revolution in the Transatlantic passenger trade. One can recall the thrill occasioned by their maiden voyages, their vast dimensions , and tho speed which they attained . They were built and launched in 1907, the Lusitania at Clydebank and the Mauretania at Tyneside . 1'rom the outset it was evident that the two ships would make records. The Mauretani a made tho Western journey in four days 10 hours 41 minutes , and tho Lusitania in four days 11 hours 42 minutes , while their iitewamed her seven years later , v.-,ia of 3,081 tons, whereas the Lusitania 's and the Mauretania 's displacement upon load draug ht was 45,000 tons. The change from that frail earthen vessel in which Hercules is said to hav e sailed tho length of the known ocean , to tho mammoth lines and huge horse-power of the Lusitania is not mere evolutionary progress: it is a revelation of eng ineering and constructive ckiil. Here are tha shi p's dimensions :— Length. 790 feet. Breadth , 88 feet. Death to boat deck . 80 fe et. Dra-.'g ht (fully loaded), J l feet 6 inches. Displacement on load draught , 45,000 tons. Horse-power of Turbine eng ines , 68.000. Hei ght to top of funnels, 155 feet. Height to mastheads, 216 feet. Longfellow has sung the praise of " Thorberg Shafting, Master Builder ," who constructed the " Long Serpent. " One wonders what would be the feeling of that old Norse builder could he see the Lnsitnnia gliding from the slips, or stand upon her brid ge as sho forged throug h the water with an eagle's speed. It is only by comparison that one can form a notion of her size. Three " laps," or promenades round tho ship measured a mile and a quarter. Nea rly every one has seen St. George's Hall , in Liverpool. The Lusitania placed beside that handsome building would completely dwarf it. Her funnels would tower 45 feet above its highest point, and the fla g at her masthead would fl y twice as high as the hall's roof. Her comma.nder, standine on the bridge, v.-ould be upon a level with the. topmost portion of tlie buildinir , and tho hull' s length would exceed the hail' s by some 300 feet. Suppose we turn to her great engines—How are they driven? The coal that feeds her boilers on one voyage between Liverpool and New York would fill 22 trains , each made up of thirty 10-ton trucks. The feeding ~ of the crew and passengers needs something like the commissariat for a small town. Here are- a few among the items—400 pigeons, 250 partridges , 250 grouse, 800 quail , 200 snipe , 60 lambs, 10 calves, 40 oxen , 200 pheasants. 80 sheep, 2.000 fowl, 130 piss, 150 turkeys,. 360 ducks, 90' geese, and then of fish—12 boxes of herrings, 45 boxes of turbot, solo, etc. ; 60 boxes of kippers, 5251b.' of turtles, 2 boxes of mackerel , 12 barrels of red herrings, 1,5001b. of salmon, 36 boxes of bloaters, 10 boxes of fresh herrings, 84 boxes of haddock , 20 kegs of oysters, and 1£ tons of ling. This gives one some idea of the numbers she accommodated . The cold figures are —550 first class passengers, 500 second class. 1,200 third olnss, making with the officers and crnw. 3.000^the nonulation of a little town . The Lusitania s kew ''ate was 5ft. wide, and ofin. thick. With this flat keel was associated a vertical keel 5ft . high , arid Iin. thick, and to this wero attached the frames and beams which formed her skeleton. The double bottom was divided into compartments by the vertical "keel and transverse frames, and in thpse there was provision for water ballast. Tho tops of these tanks wero carried well round the turn of the bilge, so that should the bilge keels be torn away and the hull pierced, it was supposed-that .the inrushing water would be confined between the inner and outer -bottoms.

The following communication has been 1* ; ; ceived from the Chancellor of the Exchequer , and is placed at the disposal of tho Press:— ] After, prolonged negotiation . a settlement has been arrived at on the question of spirits. Tho White Paper shows-that a good deal cJ the mischief , especially in tho northern yarda, , comes from the drinking of raw, cheap spirits of .1. fiery quality. The Government proposa now , alter consultation with the representatives of flic spirit trade, to substitute for theil taxing proposals a complete prohibition of th« sale of spirits under three- years of age. This will bo accomplished by compulsoril y bonding all spirits under three vca rs of aj re. As there will be some difficult y for a short time in finding adequate accommodation an inquiry is to ho instituted immediatel y on that su bjec t, and should it be found that the accnmmixlation is not sufficient ior storing supplies beyond two years, time will be given the trade to provide storage. Meanwhile ai! / spirits up to two years will be conipulsoril y fr bonded , and a surla:c of one shilling will bo placed on all spirits between two and three years of ago taken out of bond.
