AND YET NO TIDINGS.
Whereabouts or Fate Of Tn Gascosae Still
n Matter of Conjecture.


u Matter of Conjecture.
NEW YORK. Fob. 1.-THE French line
steamship La Gascogne, so far rs all
sources of information 60, has failed to
reach harbor.
Three steamers which arrived at this
port yesterday have seen or heard nothing
OF her, but the fact that tho vessels not
nearly so staunch as her have wcathered
the gales that have swept the Atlantic for
tho past week or more has given heart and
hope to those who can view tho chances
OF the big steamer from an impartial
standpoint. La Gascogne has faced many
furious gallo In the years that she crossed
the ocean, but never was she so tardy In
reaching port.
Dispatches reached here from Halifax
with the report that La Gascogne had
been sighted in the vicinity OF Sable
island. No official verlfcation OF this was
TO be had. owing TO the inpossibfilty OF
getting communication with the island.
Any report, however, OF a steamer lying
of Sable island in a crippled condition IN
the midst of heavy gales would not be
hopeinspiring one, as IL Is an extremely
dangerous locality for mariners.
A French line steamer. anchored OIL
Sandy Hook early this morning. and II Is
believed that she Is In Normandie, o sister
ship Of La Gascogne. La Normandlo
sailed from Havrc Feb. 2, and coming
over the Same course as La Gascogne 10
was confidently: expected that she would
have tidings of the other. No signals "a
that effect have been displ Ad. and now
the officials of the line fix sneir hopes on
In Tourine, which sailed for Havre on
"Wednesday last with Instructions TO keep
the strlctest outlook for La Gaseogne, and
II necessary 10 spend extra time IN max
ing q dctour from the regular cour.e.
