 NEW YORK, April 1e.-Whie the fate of majority of the 2,100 persons aboard the mammoth White Star liner Titanic, which sank early yesterday off the New FounG- land banks after collision with an lee berg still remains in doubt, and it IS feared that more than 1200 are lost, a note of good cheer came by wire less between one and two this morn
 ing. 1t was in the shape of a mess age from the White Star liner Oiym- pic, one of the vessels lowering about the scene of the disaster flashing the news that 866 of the Titanic's passengers, mostly women and ehii- dren are being brought to port by the Cunarder Carpathia. Other mess ages later brought confirratory tid- ings. The first reports were that the Carpathia had saved only 675 persons. New figures reduced the list of those for whose fate fear was felt nearly two hundred and if. as seems prob able, all the saved were passengers, it would appear all but approximately 45o passengers are accounted for. A partial list of the survivors re- ceived from the Carpathia includes the names of many women of promi- hence.
 After the first calls from the ri. tanic had been sent flying through space, and which brought hundreds of steamers for hundreds of miles around speeding to the scene, what
 seems to have been an impenetrabie wall of silence was raised between this city and the steamer. The giant liner. so far as last nights advices tell. went to her fate without so much as word Of what must have been scenes of terrible tragedy enacted on her decks. In lack Of even line from any survivor, the imagination pauses before even trying to con lecture what passed as the inevitable became known and it was seen that of more than 2oo0 human lives with which the steamer was freighted there could be hope of saving, as 1t appears, less than half.
 ! Alonq the entire coast wireless in struments were attuned to catch from : any source q word that possibly one
 of the many steamships, which rushed
 to the assistance of the Titanic, bore 1 other of the survivors. But from the ships reported to be at or near scene i of what may be recorded as the
 worlds greatest marine horror, came not the slightest syllable of encour- {: agement to the ansiousiy awaiting
 world. Early last night there was hope
 that any moment might bring word of cheer. But anxiety despened and
 the many friends and relatives ot those who sailed on the Titantic be- gan to despair as the hours passed and the night grew old without a word from eith.r of the Allan liners.

 ] The Titanic sank before three in
