The apparent fact that the Titanic's boats were not sufficient to necominmlate the ship's personnel is causing much comment here, iilthoinrli the papers are chary of discussion on the subject. The law does imt provide the number of boats the largest ships shall carry. It only applies to those vessels displacing up to tons, as it was before the present big ships had been built. ONLY WRECKAGE FOUND. Halifax.

Another wireless from the Carpathia gave the iiuormation that Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star line, when saved from the Titanic, had a conference with tli officers of the Carpathia, following which the Carpathia turned her course toward New York. During the morning. Lower Hroadway, in front of the White Star line offices, was crowded, and policemen and reserves were called to control the people. VIRGINIAN TOO LATE Montreal The Allan line has issued the following statement: "W'e are in receipt of a Marconi message via Cape Race from Captain (iainhelt, of the Virginian, stating that lie arrived on the scene of the disaster too late to be of service and is proceeding on his voyage to Liverpool."

April l(i. Two messages received shortly after 10 o'clock today by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph company from the company's stations at Cape Race and Sable Island make it appear that there are none of the Titanic's passengers on either the steamship Parisian or Virginian. One message reads. "The Marconi station at Sable Island has been in communication with the Parisian, and the ship has no passengers from the Titanic." The other message reads: "The Marconi station at, Cape Race reports they have had no communication with the Virginian and does not believe any of the Titanic's passengers are on that vessel." 8C9 WERE LOST Newport.

The White Star line announced officially at 11 o'clock that they had received positive news that the number of survivors on board the liner Carpathia was 808. This dispatch was sent to White Star line from the Olympic, which is understood to be in wireless communication with the Carpathia, now proceeding to 'ew York. New York, 12 noon. The White Star line office here is notified that President C. M.

Hays, of the Grand Trunk Railway, was saved ifrom the Titanic. ABANDON HOPE OF SAVING MORE. St. John, April 16. All hope that any of the passengers or mem-fcers of the crew of the Titanic other than those on the Carpathia were alive was abandoned tlm afternoon.

All of the steamers which have been crnisiug in the vicinity of the disaster have continued ou their voyape. Charlestown Navy Yard Wireless Station. April 16, 10 a.m. About eight hundred, mostly women and children, aboard Carpatia are the only ones saved from Titanic. Others went down with the ship wreckage, other rescue ships failed to fiud any more Titanic's passengi rs.

This Marconi message was relayed by two ships north of Cape (VI and sent to the wireless station here.

Phillips, the wireless operator on the Titanic last night stating, "Making slowly for Halifax, practically unsinkable, don't worry," when sent by an uncle of the operator in London to Godalming, where the father lives and the parents assumed that it had come from their son as it was signed Phillips. The trans-Atlantic lines have agreed in consequence of reports as to ice in the Atlantic, to cross longitude 47 in latitude 40.10 today, and longitude 47 latitude 41, westbound, beginning April 25. The appalling magnitude of the wreck of tho giant liner Titanic has been but little mitigated by the fragmentary information which has filtered in today.

The rescuing steamship Carpathia has 868 survivors on board, according to the latest news received at the offices of the White Star line in this city. It increases the list of saved by about 200 from the number first But, except for this, the favorable details are insignificant compared with the supreme fact that the Titanic is at the bottom of the Atlantic and that the shattered wreck took with her about 1,350 victims to their death. The first reports giving the total survivors at 675 were varied by more favorable news today, first from Captain Rostron, of the Carpathia, who gave the number about 800, and later by the positive announcement of the White Star line that there are 868 survivors of the Titanic on board the Carpathia. But with these revised figures there remain 1,341 persons, passengers and crew of the Titanic, who are unaccounted for. NONE ON OTHER SHIPS.

Hope clung desperately this morning to the belief that the steamers Virginian and Parisian of the Allar line may have picked up survivors in addition to those on board the Carpathia, but this practically was dispelled at 11 o'clock when Sable Island wireless station reported that the Parisian had no survivors on board i and when the offices of the Allan linei was being transmitted or received, in Montreal issued a statement that I The fate of ih Titanic was the sub-the captain of the Virginian had sent je. of much comment in business cir-them a wireless message saying helrles this morning, as the men who are had "arrived at the scene of disaster too late to be of service." NO NEWS WITHHELD. New York, April 16. Vice-President Franklin, of tho International Merchant marine, said this afternoon that the company was holdinq back no information and that the steamship Olympic was now standing off Caps Race relaying the names of the past-engere on the Carpathia to the wireless station at Cape Race. COMING TO NEW YORK.

Intense interest centres in the gradual approach to New York of the Carpathia, bearing the survivors of the Titanic. It is this ship which promises to bring the first authentic details of the great tragedy and the scenes which followed. The Carpathia is a slow vessel and is due at Sandy Hook about 11 o'clock Thursday night. DIRECT NEWS SOON. Meantime the Carpathia will be within wireless range of several stations along her course.

Her wireless plant has a radius of about 150 miles. She will be south and abreast of Sable Island late today or tomorrow, at a distance of about 150 miles, and may come within direct wireless communication with Sable Island. The present communication is by wireless relays to the Olympic and other intervening ships having a greater radius of wireless. The Carpathia's course now brings her about 400 miles south of Nantucket, where she is due early Thursday. This brings her within easy range of the powerful wireless station at biaaconset, Nantucket.

She will then be 195 miles from New York. VIRGINIAN GOES ON ITS WAY. Montreal, April 16. The Allan line has handed out the following statement under the eignature of George Hannah, superintendent of the line here: "We are in receipt of a Marconi despatch via Cape Race, from Captain Campbell, of the Virginian, stating that he arrived at the scene of the die-aster too late to be of service and is proceeding on his way to Liverpool." MORE MAY BE SAVED. Ottawa, April 16.

It was stated at the marine and fisheries department this morning that a message received at the Canadian wireless station on Sable Island indicates that aome ot the Titanic's boats may have been picked up by the Allan liner Virginian. H. S. McGreevy, of the Canadian government wireless service, with headquarters at Quebec, this morning tele-prised Alex. Johnstone, deputy minister of Marine and Fisheries, that the Sable Island had been in communica tion with the Parisian, bound for Philadelphia, and that the Parisian tiad reported that she had changed her course and was making for Halifax.

That was all the information which the message received at Sable Island oontained. It is known that the Parisis was in communication with the and the officials hope that Mian linar has come across a number of h. ln3i. of the big liner and is hnteninij to Halifax with the survivors jck up.
