(Received Juno sth, 10.25 p.m.)
MONTREAL, June 4. Sir Conan A. Doyle, in an interview, referring to the loss of tho Empress of Ireland, said there was never a disaster of the kind that one was not struck, enormously by tho beauty of human nature. It was perfect blasphemy to talk of original sin. Man was full of wonderful unselfishness, which was only revealed in a lightning flash by some terrible disaster. He especially regretted the death of Laurence Irving, who was a man of noble spirit wifS «_. beaUtiful and idealistic turn of mind.
