ALL HOPE GONE FOR OTHER TITANIC VICTIMS.

1,302 Known to Have Perished; 888 Rescued; Sanivors Will Arrive In New York Tomorrow. The Cunard liner Carpathia, bringing survivors Trom the sunken Titanic, got into communication early last night and it is now hoped that details of the disaster will soon be forthcoming. Only faint hope remains that any of the 1,302 passengers and crew who have been missing since tho giant Ti-* tanic sank, have been picked up by trans-Atlantic liners. The 868 survivors rescued from life boats by the Carpathia are the only known saved. The two steamships Virginian and Parisian of the Allen line, reported to have rescued some of the victims, sent word that they have none of Titanic’s survivors bn board. All day tearful and anxious throngs swarmed thO offices of the White Star line at New York and overflowed Into Broadway, stopping traffic at times and keeping police reserves busy maintaining order. Col. John Jacob Astor, multimillionaire, head of the famous New York family, is believed to be among those drowned. His wife is safe on the Carpathia. Isadore Straus, the millionaire merchant; Benjamin Guggenheim, the copper magnate, and many other wealthy and influential passengers are still unaccounted for. Some men of authority blame the wreck of the Titanic upon the craze of the American people for speed.
