In the Pope that some bodies may be found. Coffins are Included in the cargo. Several undertakers will go along. The cableship Mina, which was in the vicinity of the Titanic dlsaeter, arrived here with no survivors aboard. Only Faint Hope. New York, April 17.?Only a faint hope remains that any of the 1,802 passengers and crew who have been missing since the giant Titanic sank have been picked up. The nurvivors resuced from lifeboats by the Cunarder Carpathia, now on her way to this city, are the only known saved. Of the 868 persons rescued by the Carpathia, the names of 326 passengers had been received by wireless. The Carpathia evidently was out of wireless range toward noon, for after that efforts to reach with wireless communications were futile and a score or more of messages from the Cunard Company and other sources were unanswered. At 6 o'clock yesterday* afternoon Vice President Franklin of the White Star Line said that so far as he knew the Olympic was still standing by the Carpathia to relay wireless messages. He added that he had received no word from the Olympic since 9 o'clock yesterday morning and had been unable to get either the Carpathia or the Olympic by wireless. Mr. Franklin said also that the steamship companies crossing the Atlantic had entered into an agreement to abandon the short northern route in favor of the southern route ?6 long as icebergs were reported In the pathway of the former course. John Jacob Astor Kissing. Col. John Jacob Astor is believed to be among those drowned. His wife and her maid are safe on the Carpathia. Isadore Straus, the millionaire merchant; Benamin Guggenheim the er?nn?r mnematfl and Fd gar J. Meyer, vice president of the Braden Copper Company, are still unaccounted for. Whether Charles M. Hayes, president of the Qrand Trunk Railway was saved was not known. His name cvas not among thcae. rey/; :ued by the Carpathia. A Canadian lispatch early yesterday stated that Mr. Hayes was saved. His wife and laughter were rescued. The treasury department, through the customs office, has given orders to expedite the landing of the survivors of the Titanic and to aid them In every way possible upon the arrival of the Carpathia. Customs regulations have been suspended and the customs officers will aid the survivors In finding relatives and friends. Ship Must Have Hit Low IcebergHalifax, N. S., April 17.?-The steamer, Parisian, the Allan liner, which last Monday was near the scene 3f the Titanic disaster, the fact arousing hopes until a denial was received ?w i,a. :he Titanic on board, entered Halifax larbor at 7 o'clock this afternoon. Capt. Haines reported that at 10:30 (Parisian time) on Sunday night she vas in communication with the Tianic, being 150 miles distant. The Pitanic was then safe. The operator >n the Parisian retired soon after,, ind nothing was known of the disaster intil Monday morning. The weather on Sunday night was :lear and starlight.

A young woman of Dunshaughlin, a little village in Moath county, about 20 miles from Dublin, wrote to the district council bitterly complaining that all the bachelors thereabouts were so mean that they locked their cottage i loorB each morning, went to work, ind, returning home, made their own i nipper and spent the rest of the evenng smoking their pipes. ' The young I woman said she was going to leave a I country where a young girl might i lever expect to get a husband. "Prom :he way you are going on," she said :o the councllmen, "the squall of a jhlld will never be heard in the deserted cottages of Dunshaughlln." The letter aroused the councllmen, tnd they recorded in the local statute rook that all the bachelors must marry within three months or leave wHuffoa TMn Intv nnanari an inickly and informally, might be regarded as confiscatory, but it seems to tiave hit the bull's eye. There are 69 bachelors in the county, but all of. them are taking the law phllosophicaly.

Neither of the measures adopted to force bachelors to marry seems to be wholly adequate. They seek to do by indirection what should he dons h? ? more direct method. Laws and outside coercion can not make marriage more desirable. The task is one for the women themselves, a task more important than winning the ballot All that is necessary is for a woman to study the art of appearing to be wooed when she herself is wooing.
