Late in the evening freight barge, apparently unloaded, was blown ashore during the height of the gale in Sandy Hook bay, off the Old Dyna- mite battery. The vessel lies in very bad position, with every sea sweeping her decks. The life savers are stand ing by but are unable to board the wreck.
 Owing to the heavy seas in the upper harbor the battleships Maine and Mis- souri to Staten Island were compelled to tie up. At Bellevue hospital the storm was felt severely. One of the large elms standing on the campus was blown and several men narrowly escap- ed being crushed.

Vatican.
 Rome Nov. 13.-Cardinal Mocenni, who, besides Mgr. Merry del Val, is the: only cardinal living at the vatican, and who under Pope Leo XIII. was ad- ministrator for the apostolic palace, has been for a long time suffering from creeping paralysis. He was, during the .cenclave which elected the present pope, one of the three cardinals who were not expected to survive. Pope Plus X. relieved him of his duties but allowed him to continue to reside at the vatican The cardinal has grown grad- ually worse and to-day had an attack. of heart failure, during which the doc-5 tors were obliged to resort to the use of oxygen. It is feared that he cannot long survive. The pope was informed and immediately went to the bedside of Cardinal Mocenni, accompanied by the master of the chamber, Mgr. Bisleti. Cardinal Mocenni was unable to speak, but showed, by the expression of his eyes, qualification with the presence of the holy father The pope remained half an hour and left after imparting the apostolic benediction.

4 DARING RESCUE.
Eleven Passengers Taken from Wrecked
 Ferryboat During storm.

New York, Nov. 1S.After one of the most desperate attempts to rescue ever seen in New York harbor, the eleven men, who were passengers on the wrecked ferryboat Port Morris, were taken off in small steam launch man. ned by a valunteer crew of harbor po- lice. The Port Morris left 99th street for College Point at 6;3O o'clock. with eleven passengers and four large trucks and their drivers. The wind blew a hurricane across Bowery bay and the waves were dashed half way to the top of the craft by the fury of the storm. The vessel was proceeding slowly picking it's way through the tor tuous channel, but the snow blinded the pilot and shut out, familiar lights so that when short distance from College Point she struck ledge. The heavy sea forced the vessel into Q rocky trap and she soon settled in a helpless position.
 The steamers s signals of distress were answered by the health department steamer Franklin Edson, which made many attempts to stand by. The tide, wind and darkness rendered this so perilous that the Edson returned to New York and sent word to the police boat Patrol which made five ineffect- ual attempts to reach the Port Morris and narrowly escaped going on the ledge the last time. Unable to succor the stormbound craft the patrol steam ed to New York and called for volun- teers to man 8 lifeboat. Six men re- sponded, and in the face of the biting gale the boat started for the ferryboat. Before the lifesavers could reach the Port Morris small steam launch, sent out by the captain of the Edson, got under the lee of the wreck and after extreme difficulty. in which they were subjected to great danger, the eleven passengers were lowered into the launch. The four truck drivers refused to desert their horses.
 The launch attempted to land the passengers, but with it's gunwales all most at the waters. edge and the waves sweeping over the little craft, this was impossible and after much labor the passengers were transferred to the Patrol, which landed them at East 1S2d street.
 The captain of the patrol said to- night was one of the worst nights he had ever seen in the East river.

ITALIAN ELECTIONS.
Further Defeat of Socialists and Labor .- Leaders.


 Rome. Nov. 1s.-The second balloting to-day for members of the chamber of deputies passed off without notable in- cidents. except at Porto Maggiore, near Ferrara, one Of the constituencies where the socialist Ferri was the candidate of the interventionists The church vote was against Terri, and this fact pro- voked hostile demonstration on the part of the socialists. whose women violently attacked the eccleslastics, beating them and tearing their gowns. The government had anticipated trou- ble at. Port Maggiore, and had taken precautions accordingly A company of cavalry was ordered out and scattered the rioters, making many arrests and occupying the streets. Signor Terri from a balcony exhorted the people to be calm and predicted the triumph of socialism.
 Definite results will not be known un- til tomorrow, but to-night's results confirm and emphasize the meaning of last Sundays elections, viz: condem- nation of the general strike and it's instigators. Terri is beaten in Rome, receiving one-third less votes than his opponent. The socialist ex-Deputy Chiesa, the organizer of the Navvies, was beaten in Genoa. Nofri. the or ganizer of the railway employees, was beaten in Turin. Florence returned all constitutionalists against the socialist candidates. Milan elected another con servatiye. Altogether up to midnight the extreme left loses twenty three seats.
 The participation of the clericals was more pronounced than last Sunday, even the priests and monks in ecclesi- astic robes having voted. while in Rome numerous persons attached to the vat- ican went to the polls to vote against Ferri. This is considered a tacit but definite abandonment Of the famous rule of the time of Plus K, under which Catholics were forbidden to vote at Italian elections.

CAPTAIN SUICIDES.
Commander of Steamer Admiral Dewey
 Kills Himself in Chart Room.

kAAItS HAmSeII 1m Ch0rE NO0ms
 Boston, Nov. 1S.r Frank s. Israel, commander of the United Fruit compa- ny's steamship Admiral Dewey, com mitted suicide by shooting through the heart in the chart room of his vessel last Thursday morning. The steamer reached port to-day on her regular trip from Jamaican ports.
 The death of the captain occurred when the fruiter was in the vicinity of the Bahamas One of the stewards who had been sent to call the captain to breakfast found his lifeless body on the chart room floor with revolver grasped in the right hand.
 Captain Israel had been in his usual good spirits and the previous evening had entertained some of the passengers in his cabin. The only cause assigned for the fact is temporary mental aber- ration. It appears, however. that he had made deliberate preparations for his death, as he had wound his chron- cmeter and left letter for his wife, and some instructions relative to the disposition of his body. Chief Officer James G. Clark assumed command of the ship.
 Captain Israel was a native of Nova Scotia, having been born near Yar- mouth fifty-three years ago. He had been for many years a resident of Mall den, where he leaves widow and two daughters. He had been in command of the company's steamers for seven years, and was assigned to the Admiral Dewey three years ago.

TOM WATSON GETS IN
 LINE WITH STATEMENT
BELIEHEs HE GOT HALF 4 MIL
 LION VOTES.


 Was Due to and What It was Not
 Parkers Defeat Aided by His Beconl-
 ing Identified With clevelaud's ama-
 raudera'-Bryan and His Relation to
 the Democratic Party-TalIS of Re-
 organization.
 New York, Nov ls. Thomas E. Watson to-day gave out the following statement:
 It should be borne in mind that at the time the Springfield convention tender ed me the presidential nomination, the peoples party had had no real exist ence as a factor in national politics for eight years In the presidential cleo tion of 1900 1t gave to it's nominee only 5O,0OO votes. To that extent had the fusion of 1896 swallowed up a move ment which in 1894 amounted to nearly 2,0O0,0 ,00O votes and about 1,500 active newspapers, therefore we had to build from the ground up in 1904. We had almost nothing to start with in the way of party organization, campaign funds and newspaper support; we had only three months in which to work. These things being first considered some fair idea of what was accomplished can ba had only when the official returns ara known Up to this time no official state ment has been made of the vote and I can only guess what it was from infor- nation conveyed to me by friends in various parts of the country. These sources, of course, are not very relia- ble Easing an estimate upon them, however, my opinion is that received something like half a million votes scat tered through so many states, north and south, east and west, to indicate that the sentiment which gives it's moral support to the peoples party is national and not sectional. I have found everywhere that the. current was strong and deep in favor of Jefferson ian democracy. I believe to-day that if all those who believe in that theory of government could be united in harmoni- ous political action, we could sweep the country.
 < MT. Roosevelt's overwhelming major- fly was not so much due to the fact that our people believe in class legisla- tion and the reign of special privilege. It was not by any means an endorse ment of corporation tyranny, the greed of the trusts. or the methods of com- bined capital. MT. Roosevelt's s majority over MT. Parker was due mainly to two things, one was the immense per sonal popularity of MT, Roosevelt him self, and the other was the immense unpopularity of MT. C1eveland'a second administration. Unfortunately for Mir. Parker he became so completely iden- tiled with the marauders who plunder- ed the government during MT.
