NEW YORK, April 16.-The steam
ship, Titanic, reassurins wireless
messages from which were received
during yesterday after she had col
lided with an iceberg off the coast of
New Foundland, was announced last
night as having sunk before the Car
pathia, the nearest vessel, could reach
her. Eight hundred and eighty-six
survivors were picked up by the Car
pathia and are now on the way to
New York, which they are expected
to reach Friday morning.
A wireless received early today at
Boston relayed by the Steamship
Olympic from the Carpathia says:
Grave fears are felt for the safety
of the rest OF the passengers and
crew"
All throughout the night the offices
OF the White Star Line Steamship
Company and newspapers were be-
sieged by scores of persons anxious
to learn the fate of relatives or
friends on board the Titanic.
A flood of kilograms and telephone
calls brought eager inquiries from
all parts of the country. The officers
had little news to give out.
Wireless operators worked unccas-
ingly through the night to pick up
calls from the scene of the<dlsaster
but were handicapped early today by
thunderstorm which finally silenced
wireless transmission for a time.
Gradually the names of the rescued
persons began to come through BY
wireless by way of Cape Race from
the Carpathia, and were posted In
the company's offices. Some scanned
Thorn and turned away with hopes
realized. But many who came were
grief stricken and disappointed.
Repeated calls came for informs
ton concerning Major Archie Butt,
President Taft's military aid, who is
returning from a visit abroad. Mr..
Taft telegraphed early in the day,
and was promised immediate word If
anything regarding him was received.
Vincent Astor, son of Colonel John
Jacob Astor. remained in the com
pany's Office during the night trying
to learn the fate of his father, but
only the word came that his step
mother and her maid were safe.
Members of the Guggenhe!m and
Strauss families had representatives
at the offices during the night Isa-
dore Strauss and BENJAMIN Guggen-
helm not being among those reported
saved.
. Vice President Franklin of the In
ternatlonal Mercantile Marine Com
pany said today that he had received
word that the carpathia would arrive
here Thursday evening, and his in
formation was that she carried SIS
survivors. He said that Captain Had
dock of the Olympic would be in posi-
ton soon to use the wireless more ad-
vantageously to the London Office.

OF the Titanic's passengers had been
saved by the steamships, virginian
and Partisan. known to have been
near the scene of the accident when
