The immigration authorities have made arrangements to look out for the steerage passengers and either turn them over to their friends at the pier or care for them at Ellis Island. WILLIAMS PROVIDES FOR STEERAGE PASSENGERS. Immigration Commissioner Williams sent the following letter to the Cunard company yesterday: Cunard Steamship Company, No HI State s'reet. Upon tli'- return to port of the Carpathia the Immigration authorities will do whatever in their power lies to facilitate the landing of aliens who began their voyage on the Titanic. If any of these have relations or friends to meet them at the pier they will be discharged to the latter. Such of these as do not wish to land al the pier will be brought to Ellla Island and there cared for. At the pier there will be two or three immigration lnapoctori to take charge of those Of th Titanic passengers who may require our assistance. It is the pr-aaent inttntion of both the customs and immigration authori? ties that n<> cutter shall board the Carpathia as she ? onies up the bay. This In order that she may be permitted to reach her pier without any unn re.??-h New Tork at OT An unsigned dispatch from the Marconi operator at the Camper down station, Nova Scotia, said : We are now in direct communication with the Carprthia via the ttP!,mch? Franconia. and able to announce official!* that the Titanic struck I ? ??, mous iceherf- and sank. Over two thousand lost. Seven hundred ? ?? ",? mostly women, on th.? Carpathia. n marea surMvors, A message from the Carpathia to the Cunard Line received yesterday but sent at 11 o'clock Tuesday night, said: "Carpathia east of Ambrose Channel Ml miles at 11 p. m. Tuesday. All well." Nothing has been received from the Carpathia to indicate any change from the first figures of more than 800 saved, and nothing to change the figures riven out by the White Star Line of approximately 2,200 on the Titanic It is supposed that the d.screpency in the figures in the unsigned dispatch from Camperdown may be explained by the repeated relaying to which the original dispatch from the Carpathia was subjected. f/2 Glass before Breakfast tones up the stomach, clears the head and does you good.

Presidents Brother at White Star Line Of fices?Just Waitinj _ S The melancholy scenes about the offices of the White star Line, at No. fl BroOkfWgy, were intensified b. the leaden sky and the rain that dripped un ceaslnglv all afternoon yesterday on the crowds of anxious friends and rela? tives who stood in throngs about the building. They were quiet; there were few signs of grief, hut rather an attitude of simp'? waiting. The Inquiries, It was said, CUM mostly for th? first and second .lass passengers, as only two persons asked for news in the steerage department. One of the early visitors was the brother of President Taft Henry W. Taft, who came asking for tidings of Major Butt, the ^resident's aid. He said h?also asked for Frank D. Millet, the painter, and K. H. Behr, the fBtnous tennis player, who Is reported to be on the carpathia. He paid that no hope was held out for the other two. Another inquirer for Rehr was W. S. Brewsfer, a lawver, and he e ,pr??-ped great relief when h? discovered th _t he was reported to be aboard the res?"ie ship. F L. Allison, whose father an?! mother. Mr. and Mrs. H. .T. Allison, were oti the Titanl?-. with a Miss Allison and a Master Allison, made inquiries for them, but was unable to get any further good news than that Master Allison was reported t - be on the Carpathia wi*h his nurs<\ There was . ? news of th?.

She was accompanied by her brother. De Witt Sellgman. and was shown into the offices of Vli.. t<> worry it. I think the sonne of such a report as that should be run down. There is no truth to it." When asked what he thought of an international Ice patrol, he replied that he did not think it a good plan. "That does not appeal to me, but, of course, It Is a matter for experts to de . I le," he said. "However. I think the purpose Is served l>> the way the steim ers pass along the word to each other." This recalled the fact that It is kn??*>Mi that Captain Smith was warned by other ships of the Ice floe, hut Mr. Franklin would make n?. .omment. Vinctnt Astor Inquires Frequently for News of Father. Many persons who did not come in person to the offices of the company made their Inquiries by telephone. Among thej-e was Vincent Autor, son of Co|on?l John Jacob Astor. Several times during the day and the night as we|| he tele? phoned for tidings, but nothing new could be told him. Many telephone mes? sages were received ..Is?, asking about Major Butt, Isidor Straus and Benjamin Guggenheim, both by suburban and long distan? e wires. Karly in the morning a band of Italian laborers on their way to work, carry? ing their newspaper luncheon pa?d:ets. askcl a p?ill< email stationed m front of Hie offi.-es for the latent news. When they were told that no encouraging news bad been received they shook their beads sadlv and went their way. They were a contrast t.. the many inquirers of higher degree who came fre? quently t<> ask for friends or relative-, or drawn by a general sense of sym? pathy. While Mr. Franklin was talking to the newspaper men H P. Da\lson, of J. P. Morgan A- Co, rang up and mad? SOOM inquiries of him. "I know something about that," Mr. Franklin replied, "but can't say any? thing to you about It now." Shortly before noon press dltpatcho? which state.] that the California!! of the Leyland Line had p!? ked up some bodiog and was proceeding to Boston were shown t?> Mr. Franklin. He sail he knew nothing about that, and It won not authentic, so far as the White star Line ? .... conc?rn?d. Mr. Franklin made a statement In reply to criticisms be orOMrl) prepared.
