EFFORTS TO SAVE SAILORS.

London, April 25.-The American Steamship
Company gave the passengers the St. Paul
the alternative of remaining at Southampton
to sail the Teutonic of returning to Lon
don. A few took advantage of the latter offer
and here late tonight. Among them
were Mr.. and Mrs William Lansing of New
York. and Mr.. and Mrs. George S. Satterthwaite
of Philadelphia. and several Englishmen who
were second class passengers. All agree that
excellent order had been maintained on board
the liner and that every effort had been made,
to rescue the sailors of the Gladiator who could
be seen swimming directly after the collision
occurred.
Five sailors managed to climb aboard the
St. Paul in the few seconds the vessels held
together. One of them left the cruiser through
a portfolio from berth in which he sleep
ing and gained the lower deck of the liner by
way of the hole torn in her bows by the COM
pact Others came up the anchor chains One
OF the sailors told Mr.. Bride that two of his
shipmates in irons in the brig" and he
doubted whether the officers had time To order
their release before the cruiser heeied over. II
they had not been released almost at once. the
sailor said, they must have been drowned like
rats in trap. the brig was within a few
feet OF the spot where the st. Paul struck the
Gladiator.
The officials of the American Line say that
fifteen first class passengers and fifty second
and third class passengers boarded the ST. Paul
at Southampton. the majority of those who had
booked for passage to New York having decided
to Join the ship at CherbourS.
The Gladiator was twin-screw protected
cruiser of the second class. She was of $50
tons and was $50 feet in length. She was built
at Portsmouth In 1896.

LOSS OF SI6,OO0, 900.
Cost to French Industries of Deprfs-
sion an United States.
Tspecial by French Gable 20 The Tribune

copyright. 1905, by The Tribune Association
Paris, April 25.-The effect of the lndustrlai
situation in America upon French exports to the
United States is set forth to-day in report
from the Ministry of Commerce showing that
the value of such exports has diminished nearly
$4,000 600 during the first quarter of 1908. as
compared with the corresponding period of last
wear. The French industries that have most SUI
fered are Lyons silk. automobiles and women 8
attire. 1t also appears that the exports TO Eng
land have fallen off by s6.500,00o in value as
compared with the first quarter of 1907, and As
this is attributed the indirect influence OF the
recent crisis in the United States the estimated
loss to French industries is put in round num-
bers at s160O0O0O during the last three months.

All the men speak in terms of highest praise

traditions, refused to leave the ship until the
last. The st. Paul reached Southampton at I
o'clock in the evening. Although the damage
