London, April 1S.-Although hope
that the list of survivors of the Tt
tanic will be added to practically has
been given up the offices of the White
Star line in London, Southampton and
Liverpool were again besieged by
througs of anxious inquirers.
Some of those who had relatives or
board remained at the Offices through
out the night scanning the lists giver
out during the early hours, which
however, proved not to contain any
fresh names, but merely corrections o.
those given before.
The lord mayor of London has
opened a Mansion House fund for th'
relief of the families of the crew o
the Titanic and of any others left fl
needy circumstances in consequence o
the disaster.
Much indignation is expressed II

Vicinity Of Titanic Disaster to
Be Searched for Posi-

YOUNG ASTOR HEADS PARTY
Charters Fast Steamer In Hope
Of Finding Trace Of
Missing Father.

New York, April 1S.-A dispatch
from Halifax says:
In the belief that rescue work may
still be done at the scene of the Ii
tanic's wreck two expeditions started
from here. One is headed by Vincent
Astor in the hope of finding trace of
his missing father. Young Astor has
chartered a 1900 ton steamer. She is
equipped with fast engines and has a
wireless apparatus.
Young Astor in Chartering her was
not only influenced by reports of her
fitness for such work but also because
she is commanded by Captain Far.
quhar, who won fame fourteen years
ago by going out from Halifax and
lescuing forty persons-men, women
end children-adrift in small boats,
rafts and wreckage from the La Bur
goyne.
Vincent is accompanied by his
fathers secretary. The boys devotion
is exciting comment, because at this
season of the year, with an almost
constant fog and the ice running
thickly, he is practically defying the
fate it seems certain his father met.

MESSAGE INCREASES
TOTAL LOSS OF LIFE

The Camperdown wireless station
at Halifax sent the following dis
patches:
1--WE are now in communication
with Carpathia and In position to an
nounce unofficially that the Titanic
struck an enormous berg and sank;
over two thousand lost; seven hun
dred, mostly women, on Carpathia."
The attention of the Camperdown
station was at once called to the OBJ
vious error in figures, which would
give the total of lost and survived at
2,700, whereas the total number OF
passengers and crew is about 2,2O0.
In reply to this inquiry the follow
ing further explanation was received
from Halifax:
"The Marcon station reports that
nothing authentic regarding loss is
known on board Carpathia, but the
steamer Franconia, in relaying the
message from the Carpathia, says the
total number of saved is only 7O5
There is no list of missing on the Gu
harder, and only rough estimate oi
her total passenger list. There prob
ably were more than 1920 on ship, as
quite a number boarded her at Chtr
bourg."

New York, April 18-Brief wireless
word from the Carpathia served only
to make the Titanic disaster Of more
awful proportions than had yet been
suspected. According to the messages
flashed out from the Cunarder, which
is picking her way to New York
through ice packs, more than 1900
lives were lost when the great vessel
sunk.
The word received was brief and
exceedingly indefinite. The message
did not state the number of Titanic
passengers the Carpathia had on
board, and it contained no tidings OF
the probable number of those left be
hind to perish, beyond the bare state
ment that the loss was more than
1000. Later word was received from
the steamer Franconia saying the Car
pathia had reported the number of I'll
tanic passengers on board to be only
705. Previous dispatches had it that
the Carpathia was bringing S6S of the
Titanic's passengers to port.
Sable Island was in brief communi
cation with the rescue ship for time
but no additional names of survivors
were obtained
Wireless stations along the New
England coast were straining to get il
communication with the vessel and thu
scout cruiser Salem was somewhere
off Nantucket for the purpose of re
laying ashore, through her sistel
cruiser, the Chester, some connected
account of the disaster.
At Halifax the cable ship Mackay
Bennett has been fitted out to go t.
the scene of the disaster Collins, ic,
and embalming materials were loadet
aboard in the hope that many bodie
may be picked up near the scene o
the wreck.

Boston, April 1S.--At the offices of

wreck of the Titanic, has started for

the squire, came from the house, and
Murrell's swarthy face lit up at sight
of the girl Yancy would have yield
ed his place, but Betty detained him.
"Are you going away, maam?" he
asked with concern.
''Yes-.-to my home in west Tennes-

brow.
But amt you ever coming back.

fearfully.
"Oh, I hope so, dear" She turned
to. Yancy. Il wonder you don't leave

easily go where Mr.. Bladen would
never find you. Haven't you thought
OF this?'

smiled almost guiltily.

Betty glanced toward the squire
and Mr.. Crenshaw. They were stand
ing near the bars that gave entrance
to the lane. Murrell had left them
and was walking briskly down the
road toward Crenshaw's store, where
his horse was tied. She bent. down
and gave Yancy her slim white hand.
"Good-by, Mr.. Yancy-lirt Hannibal

Staining Glass.
Ito BE Continued.)

The art of colored glass has been
lost and rebound. guarded and stolen
go many times during the history OF
civilization that it seems almost i'm
possible to say anything new on glass
staining. Yet process has been dis
covered for making the stained glass
used in windows which Is departure
from anything known to the OLD
timers.
The glass first receives its design IN
mineral colors, and the whole is then
fred in heat 30 intense that the col
oring matter and the glass are ind!s-
solubly fused. The most attractive fea'
ture Of this method IS that the surface
acquires peculiar pebbled character
in the heat, 80 that when the glass Is
in place the lights are beautifully SOFT
and mellow.

Napoleon on Shakespeare.
II is a fact that the great emperor
OF the French had a very poor opinion
of Shakespeares plays. According to
Thlbaudeau, in his "Bonaparte and the
Consulate" Napoleon said one day:
Shakespeare was forgotten even by
the English for two hundred years, un-
til Voltaire took 1t into his head 10
write him up, TO please his English
friends; aud ever since people have
gone about repeating that Shake
speare was the greatest author that
ever lived. I have read him, and there
Is nothing in him that approaches
Corneille or Racine. His plays are
not worth reading"
