THE CREW RETICENT. [By Electric Telkgrafh—Copyright] [Unitbd Prebi ■ Association.j London, June 10. The Corsican has arrived at Glasgow with 133 of the Empress of Ireland's survivors, mostly members of the crew. There were pathetic scenes at Liverpool when the latter returned to their families. Many families of the missing men were waiting at the station in the hope of finding relatives among the rescued.

Heller, an Australian, states that he got into a boat in which were twentysix of the crew. There was room for eight more, and all seemed quite dry. The craw are reticent. THE APPROACHING INQUIRY. (Received 11.55 a.m.) Ottawa, June 11. Mr Vaux, a British marine expert, conferred with the Minister for Marine in regard to the approaching Empress of Ireland inquiry. Mr Vaux is studying the survivors' statements, procured at the instance of the Marine Department with the object of showing the Commission on which point* to direct the investigation. It is practically settled that Lord Mersey's Commission will sit at Quebec.
