were conflicting to great extent
Many were of the opinion that hun.
dreds of lives were lost, while others
thought that but few were drowned.
AS this dispatch is being sent, the divers
are searching all the cabins, the engine
and firerooms and other compartments
of the ferryboat for bodies. 1t is known
that all of the crew got ashore in safety.
The body of boy about 10 years old

The body had been IN the water but a
short time. The coroner's office attrib-
uted the death to the Mortified COLI
sion and the police recorded it as the

NO WISH TO LEAD.
BUT MRS. ROOSEVELT MAY HEAD
 WASHINGTON SOCIETY,"

A Modest. Gracious Matron Is tn,
 Wife of the Vice President-Carei
 Little For Society, but Is Vel
 Equipped to Fulfill Social Duties.
 Although Washington society hat been acquainted with the wife of oul new vice president when he was assist ant secretary of the navy, it was not until the other day at the inaugura tion ceremonies that the Capital City really sized her up. To say that the impression made by Mrs. Roosevelt is wholly favorable is only stating the bare truth.
 The Roosevelts will spend the time until the opening of congress in De. cember at their country house at Oys. ter Bay, N. I. There is much curiosity in Washington society concerning the position Mrs. Roosevelt will then elect to take. The position and social du- ties of first woman of the land' may devolve on her owing to the continued i'll health of Mrs. Mckinley.
 Mrs. Roosevelt is not fond of so- ciety, and 10 other woman in the public eye in America more cordially detests publicity of any kind. She has always preferred the quiet solitude of the Roosevelt country home at Oyster Bay to the diversions of society in New York or elsewhere. She is, how ever, hostess of rare grace, charm and tact when called upon.
 Charming is the adjective that best describes the woman who presides over the household of the vice presi- dent. Although she is by no means naughty or exclusive. Mrs. Roosevelt is an aristocrat to her finger tips, with out any of the popular odium that usually accompanies that term She is simply well bred. intellectual and ae- complished American woman. whose interests are centered in her husband and children and who has a wonderful power of eXerting influence while ef- facing herself. Her influence on her husband and his respect and consid- eration for her opinion are unbounded, for she is well fitted by training and education to be the consort of man so prominent in public life.
 Mrs. Roosevelt is the second wife of the vice president, the first having been Miss Mice Lee of Boston. She died few years after their marriage,
