ANXIOUS CROWDS
WAIT FOR TIDlNGS.

New York, April 16.--All day
thousands of sorrow stricken people
lined the streets in the neighbOrhOOd
OF the White Star Line offices await
ing any fragment OF news from the
passengers on the i'll fatcd vessel,
hoping against hope that relatives
or friends would be reported saved.
Rich and poor have mingled their
tears Of anguish together as they be-
seiged the officials for news of loved
ones. In many instances it was nee
essary to use the police in dispensing
the crowds, especially in the neigh
bOrhOod of ncwpaper offices. where
bulletins were displayed every few
minutes.

New York, April 1.-THE appal-
ing magnitude of the wreck OF the
giant liner Titanic has been but little
miligated by the fragmentary infOr-
nation which has filtered into the AS
sociated Press from the ocean high
ways today. The rescuing steamer
Carpathia has 66S survivors aboard
according to news at noon. This In
creases the list OF the saved by about
two hundred from the number first
reported. Except for this. favorable
details are insignificant compared to
the tremendous reckoning that the
Titanic is at the bottom OF the Allan
tie. and the wreck of the world !
greatest steamer took with her about
thirteen hundred and fifty victims tu
their death.
Hope clung desperately this morn
ing to the belief that the steamers
Virginia and Partisan, Of the Allan
line, may have picked up the surviv-
ors, but this was practically dispelled
at II o'clock when the wireless re-
pCrts stated there were no survivors
on board these vessels. The Carpa'
thia has on board the only survivors
that have been accounted for. and Is
coming slowly to New York. All hope
for details of the disaster is centercd
on this ship. She will be in wireless
communication with Sable Island to-
night and will reach New York on
Thursday night.
