Secretary Nagel to-day returned from New York, determined to recommend strongly 'to President Taft the calling of an International congress to impose stringent regulations for the protection of life on the ocean. Secretary Nagel met the Carpathla at her dock and. authorized the admission to the United States of every alien rescued. All who desire mav remain, al though the Secretary believes many will elect to return to their native lands. The Secretary said he was surprised by an almost complete absence of hysteria among the aliens.

'Their calm and quiet attitude," he declared, "made the event of their landing all the more Impressive in the light of the terrible calamity. I left the ship with unspeakable, indescribable respect for every and woman among them." To illustrate the bravery with which the Immigrants faced the situation, the Secretary recited the case of one woman who, without display of emotion or appeal for sympathy, approached him thus: "May I stay on board the ship to-night? I have lost my husband and my two children have not been well to-day." An Irish girl relieved the depression by a sally with the immigration officials. When asked if she had a card she quickly retorted; "DiviJ a bit of card have I. I am glad to have my life." That was not repartee, said the Secretary, but expr-fed the philosophy of every 'M. Secretary 'I that' appar ently all who iave been rescued from the Titanic were not saved.

He called attention to reports that some of the lifeboats were not filled and returned again and again to pick up men who had dived Into the sea. in support of an International congress to study oceanic transportation, the Secretary said- this seemed the proper way to deal with the a est Ion. as the United States could not undertake to Impose its views or laws on tne rest or tne won a which likewise is endeavoring to solve the matter. "We have the laws without the mer chant marine, while other nations have the merchant marine without the adequate laws," was the Secretary's remark. BABE AMONG SURVIVORS.

(.... TRAGEDY TO LEAVE. IMPRINT "Misfortunes are in morals what are in medicine; heaven sends us mL'tor-tunes as a moral tonic," said Ignalmj Mueller, rabbi of Temple B'rlth. Sholum, an address at the Temple last night on tiia-subject of the Titanic disaster. The tragic episode which has just startled the civi-llzed world.

the speaker said, reminds forgetful of God, humbles foolish prido and teaches that fortune and misfortur.a boh come from God and both must ou good. The Rev. Dr. Mueller spoke In part as follows: "The appalling marine disaster and losa of human life which a few days ago brought gloom and sadness to every feeling heart induces me to discuss the Question in what spirit we should consider such terrific catastrophes which now kid again cause a thrill of anguish to mortals. Despair Or Infidelity.

"At first sight we are Inclined to think any fatal accident, no matter of what great magnitude, to be much graver and more unendurable than it really Is. We grow somewhat bewildered by the suddenness and horror of the situation, and as our at-ufa auuii.

By correct reasoning we can soon oe-mh that no misfortune on B'ob aa ii ayycarS lO US r'Hn our mind Is startled and suddenly arouied. thing for us Is to consider, that everythin--that happens in the world is part of a great plan of Providence, and the worst SIF win then be over.

This thought Is to All us with the consoling assurance that whatever happens to us we are the beneficiaries of heaven's iVF.cnLe mercy and goodness, we sea i 5 and acknowledge His fatherly hand in all occurrences, if we feel convinced that nothing comes to pass without God consent, then we stand under tha protection of heaven, ana this will aulet our spirit and satisfy It which befall men are, at the end. for the good of humanity. Wo must never forget that our development is toe great object of our earthly existence. No doubt God might have made us thoughtful and skillful from the very beginning. But would we not thereby hava been deprived of the sincere "euuu3 ana intelligent efforts? It is much more satisfactory imiicuetuuiis than to have been perfect from the moment of our creation.

To struggle for our possessions, to make ourselves capable ot their acquisition, to learn how to walk by falling and rising again, to overcome tne hindrances which we ourselves or others have placed in our way that is worthy of a man. Through Misadventure. "It is truly said: 'Our bravest and best lessons are not learned through success, nut through Misfortunes are iu morals what bitters are in medicine. Heaven-sends us misfortunes as a moral tonic And Bias, one of the' seven sages Vf Greece, teaches us a great lesson when he says: 'The greatest misfortune of all is not to be able to bear "On, could we but see the mysterious workings ot Providence, were we but able to comprehend the whole plan of creation, those events which we are now perplexed to account for, would work their proper effect upon our minds and hearts. For tho tragic episode which has just startled tlie civilized world will leave us a iosson which will not be lost upon us.

It-teaches the thoughtless to think. It reminds the forgetful of God. It humbles foolish pride. It educates our soul ana helps to purify it from It instructs us to regard life as a plan of God. It tells us that fortune and misfortune both come and because both come from both must be good."

To the tender and yet triumphant strains of "Autumn," an old air, to whose tune several hymns have been set, which are sung by men and women on two continents, the Titanic, according to report, sank into the sea, the orchestra playing the solemn music, which, it is said, resounded across the water, even above the last tumult. If, as is reported, it was "Autumn" that was played as a funeral dirge for the big liner, and as a source of hope and comfort to the drowning thousands, the words of one version, sung to the air, would seem singularly appropriate, embodying as they do the lines "It is finished all the types and shadows of the ceremonial law. Finished all that God had promised. Death and hell no more shall awe." The words of the hymn, In their entirety, are as follow: "Hark! the voice of love anu.mercy Sounds aloud from Calvary; See. It rends the rocks asunder, Shakes the earth and veils the sky; 'It is Hear the dying Saviour's cry.

"It is finished oh, what pleasure Do thees precious words afford! Heavenly blessings without measure Flow to us from Christ the Lord. It is Saints the dying words record. "Finished all the types and shadows Of the ceremonial Finished all that God bad promised; Death and nel! no more shall awe; 'It Is Saints, from, hence your comfort draw. "Tune your harps anew, ye Join to sing the pleasing theme; All on earth and allln heaven Join to praise Immanuel's name. 'Halleluiah! Glory to the bleeding lamb!"
