FREE PLEASURES IN LONDON

Relic Hunter.

In London there are pleasures to be
had for nothing. as was explained to
me by a hard-working woman with no
money margin for enjoyments. With
two feet and pair Of boots she could
hear music every evening during Lent
from Westminster Abbey to st. ALI
bans, Holborn, and the church in
Soho which rivals the restaurant In at
traction. And all for nothing-only
she confessed to putting a half.penny
into the bag from her own depleted
purse. The scientific economist could
probably spend a pleasant day in Lon
don without spending anything else.

Passengers Represent Untold Wealth.
Untold wealth was represented
among the passengers of the Titanic
there being on board at least six men,
each of whose fortunes might be reck
oned in tens of millions of dollars.
A rough estimate of the total wealth

MIGUEL TO FIGHT FOR MANUEL

The proposed movement to restore
King Manuel OF Portugal to the
throne from which he was deposed by
his people will be one Of the most
formidable ever prepared against an
existing government, according to the
man who expects to lead 1t. Dom
Miguel of Braganza.
The former prefender, who has en-
tered into an offensive and defensive
agreement with Manuel, discussed his
plans freely the other day, only In
sisting that such portions as might
be of benefit to the Portuguese gov
ernment be withheld.
Dom Miguel prefaced his remarks
by praising Americans he has met,
paying especial compliment to Mrs.
J. H. Smith. mother OF his daughter
in-law and widow of the American
speculator, SILENT" Smith.
He emphasized his belief that It is
only a question CT time when the Por-
tuguese monarchy will be restored,
citing recent outbreaks in various
parts OF that country to support his
government is unstable.

SECURES A STRENUOUS POST

Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson ac-
cepted the post in Mexico City two
years ago because he mad become
weary Of the inactivity at the Brus-
sells legation. where the only diplo-
matte excitement was the wearisome
controversy over the Belgian atroci-
ties in the Congo. President Taft was
anxious to have him accept one of the
European posts, as fortunately he is
rich enough to pay the bills for house
rent and hospitality which these ap-
pointments demand. but he chose
Mexico City just for the pleasure of
downright hard work and hard fight

And he has certainly obtained 1t. 1t

Should those grim figures be veri-
fled, the loss of the Titanic-costliest,
most powerful, greatest, of all the
ocean fleet-while speeding westward
on her maiden voyage. will take rank
in maritime history as the most terri
BILE of all recorded disasters of the sea.
There is no information as to those
who are among the saved, and the
greater number of the unfortunates
who must be numbered with the lost.
The officers of the White Star Com
pany themselves have been able to
learn no details of the horror that will
carry grief into a thousand American
homes, some of them among the
proudest in the metropolis.
One point is known from which may
be derived a sad satisfaction in des-
perate situation where the salvation of
all was not possible:
The women and children were cared
for first
These were sent away in the first
of the boats launched from the sinking
ship. the only boats, apparently. which
did not share the fate of the nam
moth vessel.
America and Britain are spared the
horrors that attended the sinking of
the French liner La Bourgoyne in 1898
when the women and children were
trampled under foot and cut down
with knives amid the mad rush of the
panic-stricken crew for first places in
the ships boats.
The first reports of the disaster in.
dicated that the Titanic had been in
collision with an iceberg not long af-
ter 10 o'clock Sunday night.
1t appears, therefore, that this most
splendid of modern steam-power ere
atoms, equipped with every device for
the safeguarding of life at sea, ie-
manned afloat only little more than
four hours after she sustained the
mortal thrust that sent this 100000
900 creation to the bottom of the sea
with her precious freight of human
lives, ere ever she had completed her
first transatlantic trip.
OF the conditions which made the
disaster possible as little definite IN
formation is available as Is accurate
knowledge of its terrible results.
1t is natural assumption that such
a collision could not happen except in
a dense fog.
The weather station at Cape Race,
N. F., however, reported that the
weather was fair and that a fresh
wind was blowing from the west.
The temperature was slightly above
the freezing point. recording S3' F.
The barometer at that time registered
1920 inches, indicating an absence OF
fog.
Should the present estimates of the
fatalities be sustained, no maritime
disaster in the history of the deep sea
voyaging approaches in magnitude
that of the loss of the Titanic.
The Atlantic went down in 1873
with loss of 574 lives.
The day when Simpsons ships de-
stroyed the Spanish fleet at Santiago
the Bougoyne met her fate in collision
with another vessel and her victims
numbered 571.
