Minneapolis, April 17-Special to
the Pioneer at 4 p. m.-The steam
ship Carpathia with survivors of the
Titanic disaster on board is in COM
munication with New York and the
rescued are sending messages to
friends and relatives throughout the
country. Word has also been re-
ceived that the passenger lists sent
yesterday include the names of all
first and second class passengers res
cued which would indicate that
Astor, Guggenheim, Major Butt and
other prominent men on board were
drowned. Messages also state that
all of the women and children were
rescued and that only men were
drowned. The Carpathia is expect
ed in New York tomorrow when full
details of the wreck will be at hand.

M0Gfreal phi 17-s:seorge e.
Hannah, general passenger agent of
the Allan lines, has announced that
neither the Partisan nor the Vir-
ginian succeeded in rescuing any of
the passengers of the Titanic. He
said that he believed the Titanic
sank more quickly than was expect
ed and that the work of transferring
the passengers to small boats had not
been completed.
New York, April 17-An approx
mate statement of the passengers on
the Titanic is as follows:
First cabin passengers, 1926; second
cabin passengers, 2S5; third cabin,
10; total passengers, 1920. Mem
bers of the crew $50. Number who
probably persisted, 1872. Number
known survivors, 86S. Number of
named survivors 1913. Approximate
Il 20 lifeboats manned by 40 men,
bers of the crew.
Armenia, N. D., April 17-Friends
of H. F. Chaffee here have received
word from James F. Chaffee that
Mrs. H. F. Chaffee is among those
saved and on board the Carpathia
but that he is missing. H. F. Chaffee
was insured for $161,750 and owned
$4,000 acres of land in Cass county.
N. D.
New York, April 17-All hope that
any of the passengers of the Titanic.
excepting those on board the Car
pathia, has been abandoned and anx-
ious relatives and friends are wait
ing details of the disaster which will
be known as soon as the Carpathia
is in communication with the shore.
Builders of the Titanic state that
the side of the ship must have been
ripped open by the impact and ex-
press surprise that she stayed afloat
four hours. The last message from
the doomed boat was that it was
sinking by the head and this is taken
to indicate that the bulkheads could
not stand the enormous pressure.
The ocean is covered by ice
where the boat went down and little
hope is expressed that any have sur
vived beyond those rescued by the
Carpathia. The steamers ,Virginian
and Partisan cruised in the vicinity
OF the wreck for several hours but
reported that they saw no signs of
human beings among the wreckage.
It is rumored that because of this
wreck, steamship companies will
abandon northern lanes and use the
southern passages.
