dence given before the senatorial

o committeein Washington, all of

! which i is published in the’ ‘fullest
» detail and eagerly read and “dis-
cussed. The interest-of the gen-
_eral public is becoming more in-

* tense as a result of the testimony.
It had been expected that the
British inquiry would open. in
‘London next Monday or Tuesday

-assoon as the first British sur-|.

‘vivor arrived on board tné ' Lap-
- Jand, but it is - now considered
possible that-the detention of the
witnesses at Washington may de-
jay the enquiry ‘here. . The
_aoxiety of the publie for a: most
searching investigation increases
-hourly’. with ‘the extraordinary
' evidence which has been sub-
; mitted already.

“A deep impression has been
produced by the unexpected Te-
-velation of the possibility that all
ithe Titanic’s living freight might
have been saved had the. Califor-

“nian, Parisian and perhaps other
boats in the vicinity had effective}
- and continuous wireless sefviee..
“This revelation is. likely, to lead:

‘eotes that the American. inquiry
