there came flashing over tha wires rom Cape Race, within f00 miles of which in the treacherOus reri0u rf fro Newfoundland banks inc hure Ifno~ struck the berg, that at 2.g0 O'clock Monday morning, three hours and 0f- ty-tlye minutes after receiving her death blow, the Titanic sank The news came from the steamer Carpa- Lma and it was relayed by the Whfe star liner Olympic. and it revealed that by the time the Carpathia ort- ward bound from New York and rae ing for the Titanic on a wIreiesg call reached the scene, the ill starred vea- sel had disappeared. Left on the sur- race, however, were lfebots from the Titanic, and in them. ss appears from me ineaSre reports received uu Go a late hour. were some 675 survivors, of the disaster.

 the world had gone down, mufing out m her downward plunge. it appeared, hundreds of human lives
 A significant line in the dsspateb from Cape Race was the statement
 that of those saved by the Carpaf1ia nearly all were women and chlld zen.
 Should other vessels have picked up any other passengers of the sinking
 steamer 1t may mean that few of the
 men on board were saved, for tho pro-
 portion of women and children among
 the passengers was large. This would almost certainly mean tho loss of practically the entire crew Of $50.
 In the two saloons were 230 women and children, but it is not known how many there were among tho TAO third class passengers. In the first saloon 1 there were 12S women and 70 children. 1 and fin the second 7s women and 8 chil- dren.
 Notable persons. travellers on the H. tanic, whose fate was in doubt in the | lack of definite adyicas as to the fdsn- 1 tity of the survivors were lfr. and Mra | John Jacob AstOr. Major Archibald | Butts, aide Co President Taft. Charles ! M. Hays, president Of the Grand 'rrun l.

 washington, April 15.-Charles F. Bfooker o1 Ansonia, who represents Connecticut on the national republican committee, was at the New Willard nolel last week. He was on his way from Hot Springs, Va. to his home
 When asked by newspapermen what effect the result of the primaries in Illinois would have upon the presi- dents chances in his home state MT BroOker said:
 Connecticut republicans believe in President Taft, and the result of the primaries ;n Illinois will have not the slightest effect in that state.
 Connecticut will give her twelve votes to the president in the national convention at Chicago. There Is abso- mtely no Roosevelt sentiment in the state. l cannot speak for other states in New England but I can for Con nectiout. In my judgment there is no occasion for the friends of MT Taft to 1oel discouraged over the Illinois pri- marl9s, or even to be d4sconcerted- Illinois does not spell anything. 30 far as the ultimate result is concerned MT. TaIt will be nominated in Chicago and he will be reelected. We have had experiments enough. President Taft has given the country a good ad- minisLratiop. lie has tried his level best to carry out the platform pledges of his party, and he has succeeded as well es anyone who could have gone into the White House following the administration of Colonel Roosevelt.
 For my part" concluded MT Brook CT, T can see no reason for uneasiness on ths part of President Teft's friends or on the part of the republican party. As I have said, our people have had enough of experimenting: what we want Is performance, and MT Taft is giving us that"
