TiH£ TiTAKkG Hi O:\3Ti-il. DISCUSSION ON THE QUESTION OF NATIONAL 171 IQUETTE. THE AMERICAN INQUIRY. 'By Electric Telegraph,—Copyright.) (United Press Association.) London, (April 26. In the House of Lords, Lord Stanhope drew attention to the Titanic firing the British Hag. ’The Senatorial enquiry struck at the root of the position in war time, rendering her nationality doubtful. American feeling would be forcibly expressed if the position was reversed. Viscount Morley deprecated the discussion, saying that any State may institute an enquiry into a foreign wreck whereby the lives of its subjects were lost. Powers to detain witnesses existed in most countries, and it was obvious that they should be exercised in consideration of the necessities of other countries. SENATOR SMITH. Washington. April 20. It is rumoured that there arc internal dissensions in the committee, owing to Senator Smith monopolising its time. After a vote overruling Senator Smith’s ruling, several of the committee resented his plan oi holding forty witnesses in Washington until the examination of all was completed. Senator Smith announced that the rest oi the witnesses would bo apportioned to various members of' the committee, who would decide whether it was important enough to examine them before the full committee, thus saving time. Marconi was sharply examined concerning an alleged wireless message to the operator on the Carpathia, advising him to withhold the narrative of the wreck. He said that lie did not know of any telegrams sent through authorised operators offering to sell their stories. Bride received £IOO from one newspaper. The Marconi Company was not responsible for the delay in publishing details. Il left the conduct of the wireless apparatus to the Carpathia’s captain. Marconi advocated each Government controlling certain wave length, issuing licenses to use these when available. When the wave lengths were exhausted thy should refuse to license more stations. elaboratFtestiimony. Ottawa, April 2G. In memory of Mr Hayes, the entire Grand Trunk system was suspended for five minutes, and the, stations were draped with mourning. ■ ; (V CANADA’S CONTRIBUTION.'

Subscriptions have been started in Paris and Vienna for the Titanic victimes, and in many other* cities. Lord St. Davids, in the debate, remarked that the Titanic was technically a British ship. The owners were absolutely controlled by an American corporation. Sir Edward Grey informed Mr Mu lire Ferguson that when the Paris was stranded in Cornwall, no investigation was hold, the captain declined to give evidence which might prejudice himself with the owners. An investigation was afterwards hold in America, and the captain’s certificate was suspended.
