MEN BEHAVE GALLANTLY.
ALL WOMEN ON BOARD GIVEN A CHANCE. NO HOPE OP FURTHER SURVIVORS. New York, April 16. Thero were pathetic scenes all night outside the White Star Line offices. Mr. Vincent Astor, son of Colonel John Jacob Astor, conferred for an hour with Mr. Franklin, vioe-president of the White Star Company, and departed in tears. It is understood that nil the women and children in the steerage as well as in the saloon were given a chance of saving their lives. The men behaved gallantly, and went down with tho ship. • The steamer Virginian arrived too late. No hope remains now of any survivors other than the 650 first rescued. Tho ice-cold water made it impossible for any of the survivors clinging to the wreckage to escapo. The women and children spent hours in the open boats exposed to hitter winds before they were picked up. The wealth aboard is estimated aa representing two million sterling, in cargo, jowels, and passengers' personal belongings.
