 NEW YORK. AprG T. - That
 the final roll of the rescued
 from the Titanic disaster has been practically been made up, was the i'm pression that grew almost into a con viction last night as the hours wore on without revision of lists adding measurably to the total of the known survivors.
 Of definite news oI the disaster, the night added little. Down the At lantic coast through fog tnat envel- oped many places, crept the Cunarder Carpathia. bearing S6S lives ;hat had been snatched from the waters when
 the Titanics twenty boats laden 70 the limit. one by one made their way from the giant liner as it be came known she would soon take the fatal plunge
 But although the rescue ship was reported within the wireless range of Sable Island at a comparatively early hour, every wireless ear was wait ing to catch the snap of the receiver which might mean the great secret of the liners death was about to be given up, midnight came and went night began to grow old-and still the word had not been spoken. In the available lists. the record of identified survivors of the disaster stands significantly thus: Men, 70; women, 233; children 16- Total BPS.
 Of the remaining $40 known to be survivors, it is estimated >hat not more than 100 seamen were required to man the boats This will leave ap- proximateIy 40; anI in the ordinary proportions of women and children in ! the steerage, where the passengers in the TitaniCs care numbered 710, it seems probable the greater part of these 40 are women and their little 1 ones
 Nothing could show more plainly the heroisn of the crew and of the men passengers who stood by the doomed ship. facing inevitable death. and sent the women anu children away in lfcboats Some would have

 i This was the final message of these brave men sent to the world; l for it was directly afterWard their wireless signals sputtered then stop ped altogether. The picture that in evitably presents itself in view of what is known, is of men like John Jacob Astor master of scores of mil 1 lions: Benjamin Guggenheim, of a l famous family of bankers; Isidor 1 Straus. the merchant prince; William 1 T. Stead the veteran journalist; Ma I jOr Archibald Butt, the soldier; Washington Roebling, the noted en- gieer-of any or all 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- 1 shod. shawl enshrOujed, illiterate and penniIess peasant woman of Flu rope.
 Thus the stream of women, with l tOddling infants, or babes in arms, perhaps most of them soon to be 1 widowed, filed up from the cabins and over the sides, away to life. The men-by far the greater part of them remained to die, millionaire and peasant and man in mi1dle class alike. bravely it must have been, l sharing each others fate and going down to a common grave.
