Searching for the Drowned.

NEW YORK. June 26-The police boat
Patrol and the tug Assistance. which has
been chartered to search for the bodies
from the tug Nicol, which foundered off
Sandy Hook. went to the scene of Sundays
disaster this morning.
Louis Benerman is now added to the list
OF missing.
This morning saw vanish what little hope
had existed of any of the missing men hav-
ing been rescued. 1t is now believed that
all are drowned Had any of them been
picked up alive by passing boats they would
surely by this time have reported their
rescue
The only chance Of any of them having
oeen saved lies IN the possibility of their
having been picked up by some boat bound
for another port, and that chance is very
improbable.
This morning It was possible to learn
almost the exact number of passengers
aboard. Seventy-threa tickets were taken
up by the committee. Three boys paid their
fare after they had come aboard. This
makes a total Of eighty-five persons
A revised list of the known dead and the
| missing shows the total number to be forty
two.

To Protect Drarnatists.

Lord Rosebery IL Not the Only Peer
Who Has Tried Cheap Travel.

A story is current that Lord Rosebery
when he went to see the queen at Windsor
on Saturday was driven from a frst-class
carriage by the inconvenient attentions
of some ill-mannered people who wanted the
and that he took refuge in a third-class
compartment, in which were seated a work
man, a footman and two others. 1t is TO
be hoped that the tale is true. for il il far
too good 10 be spoiled by contradiction.
The only indication afforded by the occu-
pants of the third-class carriage that they
recognized their distinguished companion
was when one of them, having 10 answer
q simple question. replied: Yes my lord"
The workingman comes SO well out of
this story that one delights TO think of the
prime minister of England going TO visit
the queen In his company in a third-class
carriage. democratic age and a demo-
cratic premier, truly. The incident reminds
one of a story of the late Lord Shaftes-

circumstances. found himself in the I'M

third-class carriage. The good earl i'm
proved the occasion by entering into in
structive CONVEX sation with his compan-

words to this effect: Well you seem a
