Nearest approaching it in magnitude were the disasters to the steamer Atlantio in" 1878, when 574 lives were lost and to La Bburgogne in 1898, with a fatality-list of 571. Should it prove that other lin ers, notably the Allan liners, Parisian and Virginian; known to have been in the vicinity of the Titanic early yesterday had pick ed up the other of her passengers, the extent of the ealamity would be greatly reduoed . ThiB hope still remains. The messages were mostly un official andnone came di reofe.fr om the liner, so that a lurking fear remained of possible bd news to oome. Shortly after 7 o'olook last night there came,, flashing over the wires from Cape Race, with in 400 mileB of which the liner had struck the iceberg, word that at 2 :20 o'clock Monday morning, three hours and fifty-five minutes after receiving her death blow, the Titanic had sunk.

What we need on this sul ject is information." The object of the bill is the or Hection and dissemination of data relating to all phases and conditions it child life The new- bureau will be especially charged with investigating infant mortal ity, the birth rate, orphanage, juvenile courts, Idesertion, dan gerous occupatious, accidents and diseases of children, employed and legislation affeoting children in the several States.
