tragedy enacted, on her decks
1t was seen that OF the more than
two thousand human lives with wnicn

of saving for less than half.
Other than the news last evening
that S66 persons largely women and
children had been rescued from the
liners boats by the Cunarder Car
pathia lteveral hours passed W TIL
out word as to the fate Of the rest
OF those on board at the time of the
fateful crash.
Along the entire Atlantic coast wire
less instruments were attuned to
catch from any source the slightest
whisper Of hope that possibly one of
the many steamships which rushed %

other survivors.
But from none of the ships reported
to he at or near the scene of what,
viewed in the light Of the probabilities,
may be recorded as the world S great
est marine horror, came not the
slightest syllable of encouragement 10
the anXiously waiting world.
Early last night there was hope
that any moment might bring word of
cheer. But anxiety deCpencd and

As the Titanic sank before O'Clock
in the morning and it was not hoped
that the Virginian could reach the
scene before 10 a. M, at the earliest
The Partisan was said to he some dis

1t was feared. even by the White
stat officials that the vessels would
not have reached the scene in time
to be of service.
The steamer Nirsinian was finally
heard from at 2:15 O'Clock this morn

OF any survivors on board. The mes
sage from her stated she would bring

The fact that the Virginian was to

On the political questions of the day,
when We have Thomas Sqpare with
the same facilities for speakers and
audience, where at least, the ala We
breathe is laden with odors other
than soy and marsh mud.
The man who attends two political
meetings at Aala Park in succession Is
a martyr to the cause he believes in.

will be no need to bring the ladies"
they will come without bringing.

Somehow people can't take seriously what
might have been a terrible tragedy in American
public life The reaction from the strain of the
first few minutes, when it was not known how
seriously Roosevelt was hurt, made the deed OF

"a man should attempt murder because of a third

would call "tragic folly"

GERMAN WOMEN and AMERICAN TAI

German women have rebelled against .e
high cost of living in no uncertain way. Infu.
rated at the shortage of meat and the exorbi
tant prices, inflamed by political orators who
pointed out to them the tariff wall that had
been built to bar out foreign commodities, they
have made many cities and towns scenes of riot.
The markets in Silesia have been the scenes of
violent combats between the farmers and buy.
ers, the poorer classes, especially in the mining
districts, believing the government refuses to
permit the cheapening of meat, in order to
.oblige the junker caste-that is, the agrarian
Fnoblemen with big estates. The popular wrath
is vented even upon the small farmers, who suf
fer as much as ordinary consumers from protec
ton and the consequent inability to obtain
cheap imported fodder for their cattle.
In some Silesian towns the markets were
Istormed by gangs of women, infuriated by the
prices of country provisions They smashed up
thousands of dollars worth of fresh eggs and
hurled vegetables at the retailers, heads When
a few peasant farmers tried to interfere the
women seized them and either ducked them in
the nearest pond or plunged them head down
ward into barrels Of eggs. Finally the police
with drawn sabres cleared the market places
The government fears the approaching cleo
tions for the Prussian parliament will occasion
serious rioting unless the angry electors are
pacified; but the real reason why the govern
ment is loath to open the frontiers to frozen
meat is less its anxiety to propitiate landed pro
prietors or fear of their now open threats to oust
Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg, as they ousted
Hohenlohe, Caprivi and Buelow, than anxiety
lest it should again be possible to close the
frontiers to cheap meat without causing riotine
in all the big cities The ardent protectionists
also fear that a breakdown of one form of pro
lection will prove an irreparable breach in Ger
many's tariff wall.
The big manufacturing concerns in western
Germany are no more anxious to see the tariff
lowered, especially to English and American
competition, than are the agrarians On the
other hand, chambers of commerce, merchants
guilds and other associations representing small
tradesmen, as well as the syndicates and mil
lionaire concerns, appeal daily for reduction
Tor suspension of the tariff. The Berlin mer
chants guild, one of the sanest and most re
lspected institutions of Europe, sent special
and urgent appeal to the government urging the
removal of the duty on American bacon.

ARMY MAY GROW
own FORAGE HERE
Hay Shipment Delayed and the
Cavalry and Battery Mays
Turned Out to Craze

Threatened with serious shortage
of forage for the mounted troops at
Schofield Barracks, the quartermas-
tiers department has just received
word that a large shipment of hay is
on the way from Seattle, and will be
here about the Goth of this month.
This relieves that situation which,
while not alarming, was causing con-
siderable Inconvenience at the big.
brigade post, and which was keeping
the troop and battery commanders on
the anxious seat Last Sunday the
last pounds of hay were issued in
some of the cavalry troops of the
Fifth, and the horses turned out to
crop the short grass in lieu of MUNICH
ing from their hangers. There is
plenty of grain on hand, SO the stock
is really suffering no hardship. Yes
terday the depot quartermaster sent
out all the hay that he could spare
from the town supply, and with the
full supply to arrive within week,
