New 1OrK.-W llla the late or majority of the 2,100 persons on b. the mammoth White Star liner ri which sank near New Foup banks after a collision with a berg, still remains in doubt, and feared more than 1900 persons lost. A wireless message from White Star liner Olympic, one of {. vessels lowering near the scene ot the disaster.
 She flashed the news that 866 of the Titanic's passengers, mostly wom. en and children, were being brought to port by the Curnarder Carpathia. Other messages later brought confirm atory tidings.
 First reports were that the Car pathia had saved but 675 persons. The later figures reduced the list of those for whose fate fear was felt.by nearly 200, and if, as seems probable, practically all of those saved were passengers, it would appear that all but approximately 450 of the vessels passengers are accounted for, the re- mainedr of the lost being memb bers of the crew.
 A partial list of the survivors re- ceived from the Carpathia includes the names of many women of promi hence who were on the steampship.
 After the first desperate calls Df the Titanic for help had been sett flying through space and had stratdd, steamers for hundreds of miles around speeding t. the scene. what seems to have been an impenetrabe wall of silence was raised between her and the anxious world. The giant liner. so far as adyices appear, went to her fate without so much as a whisper of the scenes of terrible tragedy that must have been enacted On her decks.
