Ship had no passengers from' Titanic.' 1 The other from Marconi Station, Cape Race, reports :—"Had no communication with Yirgirji&D, Do not behove any Titanio passengers on that vessol."—Reuter. ' . ' A FAINT HOPE. ¦ New Yobk, April 16, 4 p.m. A telegram from.Montreal states that, notwithstanding reports to tho contrary, tho officials of the Allan Lino still cling to the. hope that tho Parisian may have on board, some survivors, from tho Titanic. . j This assumption is apparently based on tho fact that tho Parisian is heading for Halifax, although her' ' original destination was Philadelphia. — Reuter. THE SEARCH ' FOR SURVIVORS. Halifax, . April 16. The Parisian steamed through much ice looking for survivors. No life rafts or bodies wero sighted among the floating-wreckage, which covered a largo area. The weather was cold, and even if persons had been on the wreckage they would in all probability have perished from exposure before they could have been picked/up. Tho Parisian is expopted to reaoh here tomorrow. —Renter. LEYLAND LI?TBR.' ON, THE SCENE. / -Km Yobk, April 16. - The Leyland Company have instructed the captain of the Caiifornian by wireless telegraphy to remain noar the scene ' of the wreck, end to render whatever aid is possible,"until he is relieved or until his coal : supply runs low.—Router. - ' FOGS AND THUNDERSTORM. . : Montreal, April 16,11 a.m. The weather station on tho Gulf of St Lawrence reports that heavy fogs are lying off Nova Scotia.
