CASE OF STEAMER UMBRIA
Police Search for Makers of
 Internal Machine.
Believed That It Was Constructed in a Chicago Lodging House. Rosseau Thought to Have
 Had an Accompiice.

New York, May 14.-Sailing lists of half a dozen transatlantic steamship lines have been found by detectives in the room of M. Rosseau, who, 1t is alleged, was the sender of the internal machine found at the Cunard Company's docks recently.
 This fact has given rise to a theory that Rosseau sailed for Europe Saturday immediately after mailing the warning letter to Police Commissioner Greene.
 The sailing lists found in Rosseau's room were all folded in a way to suggest that Saturdays sailings had been studied No railroad time tables were found in the room. and those boarders In the house who knew Rosseau best are strong ly of the opinion that he Is now in mid ocean, en route for some port. They think 1t possible that he sailed on the Umbria. t
 Upon cabled instructions from the po- lice here each of the steamers which sailed for here eastbound Saturday will be searched for the dynamiter
 The American this morning says the dynamiter who placed an internal ma- chine on the dock here made 1t in Chi cago. The paper says:
 Made in Chicago.
 ''In support of clues discovered here a dispatch was received from Chicago early this morning, giving positive evil dence that the Umbria bomb was manu- factured in a room at No. 2S7 Washing ton Boulevard, that city. by a myste- rious stranger, who gave the name of e.. Russell' He is undoubtedly the e. Rosseau: who is now being sought by the police of the entire country.
 ''The discovery has also been made that Rosseau probably had an accomplice and that this person was the author of the letter of warning sent to Police com- missioner Green.
 There appears on the register of the West Shore Hotel in this city, under the date of April 26, !, two names bracketed together. showing that the two men, had shared the same loom, These names are Edward Andrea. Holden. Mo, John A. Ruby or (Reily) Niagara.
 "The name Ruby is in a handwriting similar to that in the letter sent Com missioner Greene last Saturday. and to the writing found on the torn up slips of paper which were discovered in Rosseau's room.
 "The town Niagara from which he registered, does not appear on any map or in any gazetteer. The nearest thing to it is Niagara-on- River. which is a hamlet on the junction of Niagara River anu l4dht OHtdtiOp Sdtlddds WAkCh ID ui- rectly across the river from Lewiston, N. Y.
 A handwriting expert will examine the names on the hotel register and compare them with other samples of handwriting which have been gathered in the last few days"
 The Case of the Naronic.
 Among the effects of the man who sent the internal machine to the Cunard Line dock last week was piece of paper on which was written in French. ''The de- struction of the Naronic was complete. Mr. LeBrun, who made the box. has this moment gone to Chicago The Naronic left Liverpool on the morning of Febru- ary ii, 1893, with 4,000 tons of freight, a crew of fifty-five men and fifteen pas- sengers, who had gone to England on the previous trip in charge of a cargo of cattle. She was never seen after she left the Mersey, and to this day no word of her has reached the owners of the line.
