WAGE
BILL WILL PASS
Acute Situation In England
Seems to be Clearing.

London, March 22.-There win be no
dissolution of parliament, followed by
a general election, at this time, and
the minimum wage bill, intended TO
end the coal strike, put forward by the
| government, which had suddenly seen
defeat staring 1t in the face, will pass
according TO the latest indications. The
situation was cleared materially and
the position of the government
strengthened when the motion of for
mer Premier Balfour to postpone the
second reading Of the bill for six
months, being In effect a motion to re-
| ject the bill, was voted down in the
house Of commons.
The change In public feeling, how
ever, was due almost entirely to the
assurance given by Mr.. Balfour In his
speech that his party did not want dis
solution. This was received with a
sigh OF relief by the government, al
though there was evidence that Pre-
mier Balfour and bis colleagues did not
share the panic of their supporters.
Mr.. Balfour's assurances Gained the
feelings Of the ov~erexcited Liberals and
confirmed what those who are closest
In touch with the situation were con
fdent would happen. It is now believ-
ed that the bill, futile as 1t is, will pass
both houses.
Premier Asqaith still seems to think
that the bill will end the strike. II It
does not the prime minister will be
| obliged to take the further steps,
which God forbid" that he had In mind
when he indicated In the house Of CON-
would not stop Its active efforts for
the resumption Of work at the mines
ii the bill fails Of it's purpose. This
is interpreted to mean that the pre-
mier expects serious strife In the event
Of the miners who accept, the bill re
turning to work against the wishes of
others, In which cas- the government
will have to protect them with sol
diers.
Mr.. Balfour's statement to the effect
that there will be no dissolution Ia
taken to imply that it has been ar
ranged for the Unionist peers to adopt
the course pursued by them In regard
to the compulsory insurance bifl-name
ly, that there is no time TO give the
measure proper consideration, and
therefore that 1t would be for the best
to let 1t pass under protest.
The most picturesque feature of the
debate in the house Of commons was
the temperance of Mr.. Balfour as the
leader of his party. Although he re-
ferred to Mfr. Bonar Law as the Union
LIST leader 1t Is evident that the rank
and file of the Conservatives thought
1t wiser to have an old and tried chief
handle the situation. Mr.. Balfour
spoke in a temperate tone. for which
he was thanked by Premier Asquith,
but he showed much of his former
form.
The division on Mr.. Balfour'a amend
ment was 226 In favor and 348 against
1t. This Is the normal ministerial ma
jority, with the support Of the Labor
ties and Irish Nationalist.

Californian Was Within 80 Miles
of the Titanic
WHEN SIGNAL WAS HEARD
And 1t Took Three Hours to Cover the
Intervening Distance--The Californian
Circled the Scene for Three
Hours, But Saw No Bodies.

Boston, April l9,-The steamer Cali
fornian, which arrived to-day from Lon
don, had neither survivors nor bodies
from the Titanic aboard. The steamer
arrived at the scene OF the disaster off
the Newfoundland coast just as the last
boatload of survivors was being hauled
aboard the Carpathia, which had arrived
little in advance of the Californian.
The steamer circled the scene for three
hours, but no signs Of life were seen
among the wreckage.
The Californian was only thirty miles
north of the scene of the disaster when
the wireless message for help was re-
ceived from the Titanic. Intervening
there We're great masses OF ice, so that
it took three hours to reach the scene,
and the steamer arrived too late TO be of
assistance in the rescue.

HOPE ABOUT ABANDONED.
That James veale, Barre Man, Is Alive,
After Titanic Disaster

From reading the newspaper lists of
Titanic passengers, Mrs. Joseph Ossola of
North Main street feels sufficiently posi-
tive that her cousin, Amelio Portaluppi,
is among the survivors of the sunken
ship. Mr.. Portaluppi's home is in Mil
ford, y. H.. and he left for his old home
in Italy January !. To n friend who
lately arrived from italy, Mr.. Portaluppi
stated some time ago that his return
voyage to America would be made on
the White Stars new liner. Mrs. 0ssola
as well as other relatives this side of
the Atlantic, was aware of Mr.. Porta-
luppis decision when news of the disas.
ter was first obtained but her worst
fears were not realized after reading the
list of the survivors and now she is san
guine that her relative may have ar
rived safely in New York.
Mr. Ossola has communicated with the
New York Office of the White Star com
pany. and to-day he was expecting
message bearing more definite news CON
cerning the whereabouts of his wifes
relative. Mr.. Portaluppi's wife was to
have accompanied her husband, but de-
cided to defer her return at the last
moment. Mr.. Portaluppi has been an
occasional visitor in Barre.
Further confirmation of the prevailing
belief that James Vesle of this city was
among the unfortunates who went down
with the Titanic is at hand in the dis
patches containing names of survivors
aboard the Carpathia. The list has been
materially cut down since the earlier
reports were received, and Mr.. Neale's
name was not to be found.
Barely Escaped Sailing on Titanic.
f. Covell, who has been passing the
winter at his former home in Italy. ar
rived in the city this morning from
New York, where he recently landed.
Mr.. CovelI is congratulating himself on
his narrow escape from sailing on the i'll
starred Titanic At his home near Milan,
Mr.. Covell had made all prepara tions to
sail on the maiden voyage of the new
White Star liner as she shipped out of
Cherbourg. France Owing to unforeseen
developments. however. he arrived in
Cherbourg a day late and was obliged to
defer his return to America until the
arrival of a second boat.

felled before order was restored Just
rush to get aboard He was shot.
His body fell into the boat and remained
beneath our feet until we were rescued
by the Carpathia."
But the magnificent bravery displayed
by most of the men in the hour of
danger was the principal topic, upon
which the survivors will talk. They
also saw that but for the unparalleled
self. sacrifice and heroism of Captain
Smith and the Titanie's officers the sea
would have claimed greater toll. From
the bridge Captain Smith called through
a megaphone:
"Be British"
That became the rallying cry of the
officers and men. Gilbert " Tucker of
Albany, former editor of the Country
Gentleman, said that no praise was suffi-
cient to describe the fine conduct of the
officers.
Band Played as Ship Went Down.
Mrs John Murray Brown of Acton,
Mass, one of the saved. was in the last
boat to get away safely. "The band was
playing, marching from deck to deck up
to their knees in water" she said, "and
as the ship went under | could hear the
music"
In fact, the ships band proved to be
among the real heroes of the disaster,

The surviving passengers are unanl-
NOUS in the statement that the "unbe-
Iievable" happened. Quartermaster
Moody. who was himself at the helm,
said to-day that the Titanic was making
81 knots an hour and the. officers were
under orders at the time to keep up the
speed in the hope of making record
passage on the maiden voyage OF the
gigantic liner; and those orders were car
ried out in the face of the knowledge
that the steamer was in the vicinity of
great icebergs which were sweeping down
from the north 1t was "clear and
starlight night" as all the survivors de-
scribed the weather.
Confidence in their safety under the
reinsurance of the clear night was a
point which was EMPHASIZED to-day in
the stories of nearly all the survivors,
and even when the collision with the ice
berg occurred there was practically no
excitement. Then came the order for
all to come on deck with life-belts, after
which the crowd tumbled out of their
staterooms and made their way to the
open, followed by the order to board
the lifeboats, which were let down as
rapidly as filled with passengers.
When the lifeboats had been filed,
the seamen in charge began to pull away
to safe distance. The charge is made
by Alice Farnam Leader, New York
physician, that the seamen in the boats
could not row skillfully and that several
women, including Countess Rothes, took
their turns at the oars.
Lady Duff Gordon said that a panic
began to seize the passengers by the
time the last lifeboat was leaving.
Everyone seemed to be rushing for
our boat. nearly the last of all, she
said, "snd a few men who were crowd
