STILL NO TIDINGS
Of the Ill-Fated Danmark's g
 Crew and Passengers.
SHE IS TwENTY-oNE DAYS OUT.
Disconsolate Friends and Relatives Orowl the Offices of the Thingvalla Line.

Whether Seven Hundred People Were Lost, or Whether They Are Now on
 Board Some Vessel Are Drifting About In Life Boats, Still Remains Il nIystery-Nothing Sew Developed as to Their Fate.
 NEW YORK, April 16.-It is now twenty one days since the Thingvalla line steam ship Danmark left Christiansand, bound for this port, with zoo souls on board, and a week has elapsed since the Danish vessel was sighted by the City of Chester, only to be found abandoned and in 0 sinking con- dition.
 For the past three days both the offices of Punch, Edye tS Co.,, on South William steeet, and the general passenger agents office, on State street. have been crowded from early morning until late at night by relatives and friends of the missing passen- gers, but nothing new has been developed as to their fate. Whether the Danmark' $ passengers are now on board of some ves- sel bearing south toward the Azores or drifting about in life boats still remains a mystery. That nobody was on the Dau- mark when she was sighted by the Inman line vessel City of Chester is beyond ques- tion.
 A number of transatlantic vessels arrived here yesterday, all reporting excessively rough weather at sea. The captains of the incoming vessels, almost without exception, were of the opinion that the DapmarlS's passengers were safe. Steamers duo to reach here within the next twenty-four hours and which may possibly have the Danmark's passengers, or some news of the missing people are the Slayonia from Stet tin, which passes over nearly the same course as that taken by the missing vessel the Helvetia and Italy, from Liverpool Tower Hill, from London; Werra, from Bremen, and the Olympia and Alsatia, from Gibraltar. All the Thingvalla line people are sanguine of receiving good news in q few days.

WORSTED NOT WOOLLEN.
A Matter Which Is Troubling Philadel.
 ph!a Customs Officials.


 PHILADELPHIA, April 16.-Collector Cad wallader has not overruled Appraiser Leach's recent decision classifying worsted as woollen, as has been reported, and it is doubtful if he will do so. Col Leach had a conference with the Collector on Sunday night and it was suggested that their differ ence of opinions be referred to Secretary Windom for ruling.
 It is understood that Col. Leach explained his views to the Collector at great length and dwelt upon the fact that the Board of Appraisers at New York unanimously agreed with MT Leach and their opinions have since been tclegraphed all over the country, and the Appraisers in every port arc now using the ruling that Col. Leach decided upon.
 Under these circumstances 1t is probable that Collector Cadwalader will not decide matters hastily and may not overrule MT. Leach officially, although he disagrees with him officially.
