The loss of the Titanic is so serious to the underwriters that it is asserted that the prices of marine insurance will be stiffened greatly all around, The disaster has overwhelmed with grief not only New York but London and Paris, In the English and French capitals great crowds throng around the bulletin boards, clamoring for news that is so hard to get. In Southampton, England, where nearly all the officers and mem- bers of the crew of the Titanic lived, wild grief is apparent on every hand, and hundreds of homes are desolate. Grief in this seaport is the more polgnant because those who sailed on the Titanic were all picked men and proud of the honor of helping to navigate the biggest and newest of ships. ’ The only recent tragedy of the sea that approached the Titanic dis- aster in the number of lives lost w.s the sinking of La Bourgogne of the, French Line, in collision the bark Cromartyshire in 1898. When La Bourgogne went to the bottom she carried 571 with her, a great many being women. Disgraceful scenes attended the sinking of this ship, the survivors telling stories of men brutally pushing women aside in the rush for the Iife-boats, and of members of the crew savagely fighting with passengers for places of safety, This disaster occurred not far frone where the Titanic went down on the “Graveyard of the Atlantic.” In 1873 the liner Atlantic was wrecked on Mar’s Rock. About 574 lives were lost. The list of victims of both these calamities does not to- tal the number of dead in the foundering of the Titanic, The property loss entailed by the sinking of the Titanic will reach, it is believed, $20,000,000, The vessel was valued at $10,000,000, the cargo, including a great quantity of diamonds, at $5,000,000 more. The personal belongings and jewelry of the passengers are tigured in to bring jup the total. pectedly encountered in midocean, Thus it was that the Carpathia headed about and proceeded to retrace ther way to New York. At 7 o'clock this morning she was pushing her way through a great sea of floating ice, Necessarily her progress must ‘be slow until she reaches faireriweather conditions, The Carpathia is a thirtern-knot ship. Under the most favorable circumstances she cannot reach; Ambrose Channel Light until late Thurs- day night. It is hardly probable that she will be able to come up the Bay before Friday morning. The Carpathia, according ‘to the Cunard Line ofiicials, is not unduly crowded. With the 800 survivors of the Titanic disaster and her own complement of passengers aboard, she is caring for only 1,700 people in quarters that will comfortably accommodate 2,500. Inasmuch as she is provisioned for a cruise to the Mediterranean and gailed from New York April 44, there is plenty of food on the ship, White Star line officials: announce that by order of H. C. Stuart, Acting Collector of the Port of New York, in the absence of Collector Loeb, the customs regulations have been suspended in the case of the steamship Carpathia. “Acting Collector Stuart has requested the Quarantine officer to pass the Carparthia to her dock at once upon arrival, so as to facilitate the landing of the passengers. This undoubtedly will be done, for the reason 4hat the Carpathla has not touched a foreign port since leaving New York on her way to the Mediterranean. LINERS SEARCH VAINLY FOR SURVIVORS. ‘A despatch from Halifax states that the steamer Parisian is approach- ing that port from the scene of the wreck and will arrive to-morrow morning. The captain of the Parisian reports by wireless that he steamed /for many hours through masses of heavy field ice and floating wreckage looking for survivors of the Titanic, but sighted no life rafts or bodies. He added that the weather was very cold and that if any persons had got away from the Titanic.on pieces of wreckage they expired from exposure before help arrived. The Allan liner Virginia, bound for Glasgow, had no better luck than the Parisian. She cruised the viciniiy of the wreck without avail and is now steaming eastward to her destination. The Olympic is still standing} by the scene of he wreck, to relay wireless messages carrying the names) “of.the survivors. The Carpathia’s wireless apparatus has a radius of only 150 miles. Nothing is likely to be heard directly from the Carpathia until late ¢ tonight, or early to-morrow morning, when she will be south of and abreast of Sable Island, The powerful land station there will pick up| Hope that there are survivors unaccounted for is deduced from the i, ie Carpathia’s wireless messages for several hours. | fact that the Titanic drifted 30 minutes of latitude, or about thirty-four Sometime to-morrow night or early Thursday morning the Carpathia) jites peyween the time she siruck and the time she sank. ‘This would should come within. the radius of the station at Siasconset, Nantucket, {favor the theory that some of the lifeboats might have become separated whence was sent the bulletins telling of the progress of life saving during! from the fleet that was picked up by the Carpathia, Capi.

Ns BELIEVE ICE FLOE TORE OUT HER SIDE. The impression that the Titanic was struck along one of her sides by an keberg and not head-on is gaining among naval men, Either this theory is entertained or the theory that she ran upon a submerged ice ar that tore away the plates along the keel the entire length of the ship, It is a curious coincidence that Theodore Wells, a naval designer, of No, 32 Broadway, told The Ever afternoon that the Titanic must have been struck a blow along side; at the same time a cable} message from London carrying same trom Alexander Carlisle, | Titanic and the Olympic.

ROSTRON, It appears that all ihe lifeboats of the Titanic that were not damaged in the collision with ihe iceberg were sately launched, ‘This would indi- f| ‘cate that, despite the overpc awering horror of the disaster discipline was maintained (o a great degree, Capt, Smith went down with his ship. | he weather signal station onthe Gulf of St. Lawrence reported to-| day that heavy fogs lay off Nova Scotia and that a violent thunderstorm broke in that neighborhood last night and is travelling eastward. It was said that such conditions left little hope for the rescue of any survivors of ‘the Titanic that might still be adrift in rafts or boats, P. AS, Franklin, Vice-President of the International Piast view quoted: “| never thought there was such a as an unsinkable ship, When the news first came that the Titanic was sinking by the head I each port, The fact that she sank within four hours after the impact with the ice indicates that her side was torn out.” ; Mr, Carlisle added could reasonably he thought of was done in the case of the ¢ Olympic in regard to the ar ranging of the bulkheads and other details in order to minimize the risk of ordinary accident.” As to the number of boats carried by the Titanic Mr. Carlisle said: “J am of opinion that the large ships of the present day do not carry anything like a sufficient number of boats, but until the Board of Trade boats to be care ried shipowners cannot afford such extra top weight. As a matter of fact, both the Titanic and the Olympic were fitted with»davits Jesigned for and capable of carrying four times the number of boats actually fitt ships when they went to sea, Although a large margin was think I am correct in saying that the Titanic carried 50 per ¢ number of boats required by the Board of Trade rules.” Mr, CArlisle also thought that the Board of Trade should make it coms pulsory to close the watertight compartment doors of ships between sun- set and sunrise, He continued: this morning. He had lett there at 4 o'clock, when the worst fears of the disaster had al ‘turned to facts by the late messages from the C: Zarpathia, the Olympic and the Californian, | Mr. Franklin was asked if he could account in any way for the} quick sinking of the Titanic, which he sald vepeatedly and contidentiy yesterday was an “unsinkable ship,” and which represented all that modern marine engineering, architecture and unlimited financial backing could put into a transatiantic liner, He was asked, too, if a lifeboat equip. ment of a cap to carry only about ‘one e-third of the ship's company was in keeping with the advertised Iuxury and safely of the moderi leviathans of the sea, With bowed head and shaking voice, Mr. Franklin could find only this to say: “Until the awful news came last night, I believed that even though wo compartments of the Titanic were flooded she would still float. famage to her hull by the collision must have been beyond all imagina- tion of the men who designed her, She must have been torn and ripped apart as nobody ever believed a ship could be, We bglieved her boat | equipment was adequate to meet any emergency. 1 cannot say more | than that. aha Jacod Astor went down with the Titanle. were saved, Scores of other men placed their wives in lifeboats and re- mained on the ship, among them some of the leading men of affairs of New ything that ed in the the the then lef ent. over i Marine ua was at the otlices of the While Star Line at 8 o'clock | The} His wife and her maid ‘ ‘ARPATHIA _DUE THURSDAY WITH _RESCUED JERSEY FRAUD CASES NOW IN JURY’S HANDS. ‘The case against John J.

One by one these lifeboats were reached and their occupants were taken aboard the Carpathia. When the last boat had given up its cargo of surviv- ! ors other vessels had arrived. But there was not a sign of another livinz| person on the Icy waste. destruction, Reluctantly the captain of the Carpathia, after satisfying himself that ‘he had saved all within reach, headed about and started for New York. He left behind him, crufsing back and forth, the Parisian, the Baltic and the Olympic, which had arrived during and after the transfer of passengers from the lfeboats, ue The White Star line people say that all the lifeboats of the eat were accounted for by the Carpathia. This is hardly posstb!s, for if it is true it shows that the Titanttc, carrying 2,210 persons, had Hfe saving ap- pliances sufficient to care for but a little more than one-third of that number. Undoubtedly at the time of the collision the Titantic was moving! through a great area of broken ice and was in a fog. At 10.20 o'clock in| the evening the lounge rooms, the smoke rooms and restaurant were us| doubtedly thronged with passengers, An orchestra was playing somewhere| and perhaps, it being Sunday night, an improvised concert was in prog: | reas. Surely no thought of danger invaded the mind of any passenger, for was not the Titantic on her maiden voyage, and was she not the biggest! wh and stoutest and most magnificent ship afloat? if And many passengers had retired to their berths. The booming of the} ‘ big siren of the Titantic at regular intervals, a meszase of warning to other vessels that might be near by, had doubiless kept many from clum- ber so early in the night, but some were asleep, especially in the fore- castle, where the members of the crew off watch were in thelr bunks, In all probability Capt.
