AL Hope Abandoned.

New York, April 16.-Only faint hope remains tonight that any of the 1902 passengers and crew who have been missing since the giant Titantic sank, has been picked up by trans Atlantic liners The S6S survivors rescued from life boats by the Gun arder Carpathia, now on her way to this city, are the only known saved.
 Meager wireless messages that came to hand today practically ex- tinguished hope that some of the ill-fated passengers may have been picked up by the steamships Vir- ginian and Parisian of the Allan line Both of these steamers sent word that they had none of the Titanies survivors on board
 Of the S6S persons rescued by the Carpathia, the names of 326 passen- gers had been received by wireless mp to 4:30 o'clock The Carpathia evidently was out of the wireless range toward noon for after that eG forts to reach her were futile and a score or more of messages from the Cunard company and other sources were unanswered
 At o'clock this afternoon Vice President Franklin of the White Star Line said that so far as he knew, the Olympic still was relaying messages from the Carpathia. He added that he had received no word from tho Olympic since 9 o'clock this morning and had been unable to get either the Carpathia or the Olympic by wireless.
 Mir Franklin said also that the steamship company's crossing the Atlantic had entered into an agree ment to abandon the short northern route iii favor Of the southern route as long as icebergs were reported in the pathway of the former course.
 The dispatch from Montreal saying hope still was entertained there that the Parisian might have aboard some of the Titanic's survivors. Mir, Frank lin characterized as a ridiculous re- port"
 lie added that in my opinion neither the Parisian nor the Virginian has any survivors aboard"
 The Titanic was insured for S5,O0O,- ] 900, MT. Franklin said. On the ship he added. the White Star Line would lose about S3,OOO,OO0 This will be the smallest part of our loss he added,

it is hoped they will be in close touch with her.
 All hope that some of the Titanic < survivors might be on board either the Parislan or the Virginian had to be abandoned late yesterday when 1t was definitely learned neither stamer had pickd up any one from the big liner
 Seach for bodies in the vicinity of the disaster, it was learned tonight, will be taken up by the White Star Line from Halifax, where the cable steamer Mackay-Bennett has been chartered to proceed to the scene and remain until further orders, searching for bodies that may come to the sur face.
 Up to 1:30 o'clock this morning, so far as could be learned at any of the coast stations, no syllable of tidings had come from the Carpathia since she was able, by the aid of the Olympic's relay many hours before, to send waveringly ashore list of the names of the first and second cabin Titanic survivors which she had on board. It is thought feared, would be the better word that this list is now practically complete. As for the rest, direct advices from Sable Island reported that weather conditions were bad for transmission and that only faint communication was had with. the ship she being barely within range of call It was thought too, that the wireless op- orator on the Carpathia had become fatigued from his long siege at the key of the liners wireless, and that he was resting, preparing for the transmission of messages when the ship comes into communication with stations on the American coast.

FROM OUT OF THE DEEP.

The human Interest of the great Titantic disaster will never all be told. On the ar rival of the relief ship, and even from it by wireless may be heraIded deeds of vaIor and dar- ing. But in every newspaper of- flee handling the Associated Press report of this disaster last night, there was something echoed of that spirit of chivalry where men preserve the lives of their wives and daughters and coneedne the same privilege to other men, shove them to safety and then give their lives as sac rifiee.
 The first accurate list of the passengers came from London by by cable. Then there was given the papers last night list of the saved. To get the absolute cor rect list of the dead, it was neces- sary for the editors to check the -5ssyt ( from tke full list. And when the checking of the saved was taken, 1t provel how the men sacrificed themtelves, and how the women were saved. In but a single instance in all the roster of the ships passengers waa the wife of man lost and the man saved. That isolated case may have had its attendant reason. That man might have been an invalid, or 1t may have been through accident that either he was saved, or that she was lost.
 Here is partial list as checked. The capital letters are the saved, the others the lost For pages the roster ran this way:
 John Jacob Astor, WIFE, man and servant.
 Herbert chaffee and WIFE.
 T. W. canevash and WIFE.
 Walter Clark and WIFE.
 Ward J. Crosby, WIFE and DAUGHTER.
 Thornton DaVisson and WIFE.
 Charles Hayes, WIFE, DAuGH- TER and MAID.
 Henry B. Harris and WIFE.
 W. A, Spencer, WIFE an MAID.
 George w. Widener, WIFE and Man servant.

pathia and send in by wireless to the government complete list of the Titanics survivors. The Chester was caught by wireless about forty miles off the Chesapeake Capes and by i o'clock was steaming northward at 20 knots an hour.
 Two revenue cutters also were no tified to stand in readiness to pro- ceed to the Carpathia if necessary.
 In event the Salem had not sui ficient coal, instructions were given to dispatch the cruiser North Caro- lima instead.
 A possible chance of obtaining news bearing on the disaster developed this evening when the Leyland Liner Californian came into the zone of wireless communication with Sable Island The Californian was reported at the scene of the disaster shortly after the Titanic went down and it was thought probably she would have valuable information to communi- cate
 Captain Rostron of the Carpathia has been instructed to send full de- tail of the sinking of the Titanic.
 All day long fearful and anxious throngs swarmed the offices of tho White Star Line and overflowed into Broadway stopping traffic at times and keeping police reserves busy maintaining order.
 Colonel John Jacob Astor is be- lieved to be among those drowned His wife and maid are safe on the Carpathia Isador Straus, the lnli~ lionaire merchant Benjamin Gug- genheif. the copper magnate, and Edgar l. Meyer, vice president of the Braden Copper company, still are un- accounted for
 Whether Charles M. Hayes, presi dent of the Grand Trunk railroad was saved was not known tonight His name was not among those reported rescued by the Carpathia. A wire less dispatch early in the day stated that Hays was saved. His wife and daughter were rescued.
 
 The treasury department through the customs officers will aid the sur vivors in finding relatives and friends.
 Vice President Franklin said late tonight that according to his list of survivors, POP out of S25 first cabin passengers and IA out of 2S5 sec ond cabin passengers had been ac- counted for.
 Charles P Sumner. general agent of the Cunard Line in this country, said tonight he believed the Carpathia was within 60 or 70 miles of the Titanic when the big ship struck the iceberg.
 It was estimated that both the scout cruiser Chester and her sister ship, the Salem, which was under stood to have started north about the time the Chester headed that way, would be in touch with the Boston wireless station before midnight. The cruisers are expected to eommu- nicate any information they may ac- quire to Washington.

Titanic Had Safety Appliances.

Hamburg, April 17.--Albert Ballin, managing director of the Hamburg American Line, in reply to an in quiry today said
 q am fully convinced that the yes sel Titanic was fully provided with all modern safety appliances. Why they proved insufficient is question that can only be answered after more extensive reports have been received and examined by experts and the re- suits studied with the greatest care in order to improve as much as pos sible the present measures of pre- caution"

Death Roll Seems Final,

That the final roll of the rescued from the Titanic disaster had prac- tically been made up was the i'm precision that grew almost into con. yiction last night as the hours wore on without the revision of lists add ing measurably to total of known sur. yivors.
 Of definite news of the disaster the night added little.
 Down the Atlantic coast fog en. veloped in many places. as the re. ports showed, crept the Cunader Carpathia bearing on her the S6S lives that had been snatched from the waters when the Titanic's life boats. laden to their limit, one by one made they way from the giant liner as it became known that she was soon to take her fatal plunge.
 But although the rescue ship was reported within wireless range of the Sable Island station at compara eively early hour and every wireless car was waiting to catch the snap oi q receiver which might mean that the great secret of the liners death was about to be given up, midnight came and went and the night began te grow old-and still the word had not been spoken.

 Total, BPS,
 Of the remaining 540 known sur vivors it is estimated that not more than 100 were seamen, required to man the boats. This would leave ap. proximately 40 and in the ordinary proportions of women and children in the steerage, where the passengers in the Titanic's care numbered 71O, It seems probable that the greater part of these 44O were women and their little ones.
 Nothing could show more plainly the heroism of the crew and the men passengers who stood by the doomed ship facing practically inevitable death and sent the women and chil- dren away in the life boats Some would have to be left, that was a | certainty. Hundreds, in fact, were left. But to all appearances the men who were left stayed behind delib- erately, calmly stepping aside to let the weaker ones. those to whom they owed protection, take their way to safety,
 Sinking by the head Have cleared boats and filled them with women and children.
 This was the final message these brave men sent the world for it was directly afterwards that their wire less signals sputtered and then stopped altogether The picture in- evitably that presents itself in view of what is known, is of men like John Jacob Astor master of scores of millions; Benjamin Guggenheim, of the famous family of bankers lsidor Straus, a merchant prince; William T Stead. veteran journalist; Major Archibald Butt, soldier; Wash | ington Roebling, noted engineer one or any of these men stepping aside and bravely. gallantly remaining to die that the place he otherwise might have filled could perhaps be taken by some sabot-shod, shawl-en shrouded illiterate and pennless pea sant woman of Europe.
 Thus the stream of women with toddling infants or babies in arms, perhaps most of them soon to be widowed, filed up from the cabins and over the side and away to life. The men -by far the greater part of remained to die, millionaire peasant and man of middle class i alike, bravely, it must have been, sharing each others fate and going down to common grave.
 Of the survivors, what?
 Their story of peril and suffering with the revelation they will furnish of just what happened on board the stricken ocean giant-pictures which will leave the imagination nothing to draw upon-still remans to be told. How quickly they will be able to tell it and clear up all the mysteries of identity which the limited carrying capacity of the Carpatha's wireless has left the world in doubt seemed last night to depend largely upon at. mospheric condition.
 The weather was thick on the coast last night, not interfering, it is believed, with wireless communi- cation from the liner to Sable Island, but probably with her rate of progress toward New York, whither she is heading. Meanwhile other methods of communicating with her than by the land stations are being tried.
 From the Virginia Capes the scout cruisers Salem and Chester, armed with powerful wireless apparatus, are speeding toward the Carpathia land ] before very many hours have elapsed
