MANY PERISH AT SEA
ITALIAN STEAMER SINKS AND
500 ARE LOST.
Disaster on spanish Coast--shIp Hits
Reef In Threading Narrow Passage
Captain Commits suicide-wreck
Attributed to His Own Imprudencc.

Advices from Cartagena, Spain,
state that terrible marine disaster
occurred Saturday evening off Cape
Palos. The italian steamer Sirio.
from Genoa for Barcelona, Cadiz,
Montevideo and Buenos Ayres, with
about 500 persons on board, was
wrecked of Hormigas island. Three
hundred emigrants. most OF them Itai-
ians and Spaniards. were drowned.
The captain of the steamer commit
ted suicide.
The bishop Of San Pedro, Brazil,
also was lost, and it is reported that
another bishop is among the missing.
The remainder of the passengers and
officers and crew got away I'm the
ships boats or were rescued by means
OF boats sent to them from the
shore. number of fishermen who
made attempts at rescue were drown
ed.
Those rescued from the vessel are
now at Cape Palos. in pitiable con-
dition. being without food or clothing.
The Sirio struck rocky reef known
as Bajos Hormigas and sank soon af-
ter, stern first. Hormigas island lies
about two and one-haIf miles TO the
eastward of Cape Palos. The Sirio
was owned by Navigazione Italiana.
OF Genoa.
Before he committed suicide the
captain declared the steamer had S45
passengers on board and that her crew
rurnharad 1o7 ,,,a, r,ho cs.ta ~ r1a
passengers when leaving Genoa, but
additional Spanish passengers were
taken on board at Barcelona. where
the vessel touched few hours before
the disaster.
The disaster occurred at S o'clock
Sunday afternoon. The steamer was
threading a difficult passage through
the Hormigas group. where the Bajos
Hormigas reef is continual menace
to navigation. The vessel began TO set
tie rapidly Immediately after she had
struck, and a terrible sceae of con-
fusion and panic ensued on board. The
fishermen along the coast sought to
render every assistance in their pow
'er and sent out boats which brought
many survivors ashore Most of the
officers and crew OF the Sirio are
among the saved.
The survivors have gone into camp
on the main square of the town at
Cape Palos. Here narrowing scenes
are enacted as the stricken families
anxiously seek beloved members
among the rescued.

WORK LIMIT is voID.
New York Court Kills Law for Fac
tory Women.


The state law Of New York restrict
ing labor by women and children to
ten hours day and sixty hours a
week in factory was declared Friday
by Justice Olmstead in decision
handed down In the court of special
sessions to be ''an unwarranted inya-
sion of constitutional rights" The
ruling was concurred In by Justices
Mexican and Deuel..
Judge Olmstead declared the law
class legislation, and among other
things said:
ITO labor and employ labor. are in
herent and inalienable rights of our
citizens and cannot be taken away
In whole or in part unless upon the
broad ground of public good, which
must be apparent and cannot be pred
icated upon legislative dictum.
ut may be stated as a well settled
legal proposition that the right to la
Dor and contract for that labor is both
a liberty and a property right. When,
therefore, the legislature enacts a
ton 1t must be admitted that IL has
infringed in the enactment the rights
which are very clearly accorded by
the constitution to the individual citi-
zen. The people, therefore, are called
upon to justify this invasion and there
Is but one plea in justification-that
the statute was enacted to protect the
comfort, welfare and safety of the
whole people. and the individual must
suffer this curtailment of his granted
rights in the interest of the common
good.
THE present constitution of the
state of New York was adopted in
1894 and became effective Jan. 1, 1895.
All of the rights which adult wom-
en- possessed at that time were con-
firmed by that document One Of
those rights certainly was the right to
contract for her labor and to work
when and where she pleased without
reference TO the position of the hands
upon the dial OF the clock 1t was not
until four years after that the law
making power sought to place the linn
itation under consideration upon
them. What was the Legislative intent
in doing this? The attorney general
finds and urges no other reason than
that the general welfare of the state
demands that the progeny of women
of the factories shall have mothers
with healthy bodies to the end that
the state may have sturdy citizens"
