SEA COSTS ETRURIA A LIFE.
Comber Falls on Seven Men and
Breaks the Back of One.

NEW YORK, January 7.-One man killed
one seriously injured and three others hurt
SO that they are still in the ships hospital
is the work that was done by a sea that
came over the bows of the Cunarder Etru-
ria at midnight Friday. No passengers
were on deck All had been in their cabins
for the greater part of the trip.
Friday night was, according to the cap
tain, about the worst of the voyage The
jar Of frequent seas that slapped against
the bows of the Etruria loosened the lash
ings of the starboard anchor davit. Once
they We're secured, the vessel being slowed
down that time so that the men could go
on the forecastle head with safety. But
the laShings got loose again.
Capt. Potter was the bridge. Seven
men, in charge of Peter O'Mara, boats
wain's mate, went forward to secure the
lashings. They were supposed not to go on
deck until the vessel had been slowed but
the orders became confused and the sea-
men, led by OMara, tumbled up through
the companion hatch. They had just bent
to their task when the wave rose over the
bow, little on the port side.
James Walker, an able-bodied seaman,
nearest to the bow and got the brunt
of the comber as it broke. He was carried
a distance of thirty-five feet and hurled
against the starboard rail, his back bent
almost double. Then he fell in a heap to the
deck, where he was picked up by his
brother George, who had not been injured
Walker was dead, with his back broken.
William Newell was washed to the rail,
where his right leg caught and broken.
He was sent to st. Vincent's Hospital when
the Etruria arrived here yesterday morn
ing. John McMullen, James ILLS and
James Feeey, all of whom were badly
bruised about the head still in the
ships hospital
/ Walkers body was buried at sea the next
| morning, the service being read by Capt.
Potter. He was about thirty-hve years old
and widower He had a little daughter
and father and mother in Liverpool.
About the time that Walker killed
| a child was born in the third cabin to Mrs
| Jacob Goldstein. 1t was girl and was
named Etruria Rachel The passengers
| and the crew made up a purse of $40 for
| the mother The Etruria has seldom seen
such rough weather. The life nets were
| stretched while she was still near the other
| size, and on the first morning out the pas
| sengers were advised not 10 go on deck. On
| the next three days they We're not permit
| ted to go on deck at all.

ATTACKED BY A COBRA.
Steamship Officer Fights Reptile OF
Vessels Deck.

NEW YORK, January when the Ger
man steamship kybfels tied up to her
dock in South Brooklyn yesterday the Off
GERS of the ship were indignant that greater
care had not been taken by the health Of
the vessel the night before. According to
Mr.. Francis the first officer of the ship, the
steamships deck caught fire through the
fumigatng process but the blaze was ex-
tinguished without doing any damage.
This incident was the eliminating one of
a chain of excited happenings that marked
the Kybfels voyage from Calcutta. On No
vember 8, two days before sailing from that
port, Mr.. Richter, the third officer, had
battle with a cobra which was hidden in
the cargo and which he finally shot to
death.
For half an hour the fight between Rich
ter and the reptile continued on the after
deck. The native freight handlers were
too frightened to lend any assistance and
there was not another European within call
al the time. The cobra coiled it's six feet
for the quick blow for which this Species of
snake is known. Thrice 1t darted at Richter
and thrice he lodged In time to avoid the
cObra's bite, which means instant death.
Finally the reptile felled by a blow
from stick, and then Richter drew his re-
volver and shot it dead.
After the kybfels entered the Atlantic on
December II, she encountered severe wea-
Their. On the morning Of December ID,
shortly after midnight. two huge meteors
fell into the sea almost within stones
throw of the ship. The huge, blazing balls
threw tons of water into the air as they
fell into the sea, and for several minutes
afterward the air was surcharged with
sulphuric odor that made breathing almost
impossible.

OPEN FIGHT FOR sENAToRsH1p.
Pennewill's Refusal to Run Clears
Way for All Delaware Aspirants.

WILMINGTON, Del. January THE re-
fusal of Judge James Pennewill of Dover
to allow his name to be used In connection
with the senatorship when his election was
assured was the principal development Of
the week.
His reason for refusing is that he wants
to remain on the bench.
The outcome will be an open fight in the
caucus at Dover on January IA. The per.
sonal choice of Judge Pennewill for senator
is Harry A. Richardson of Dover 1t was
stated today, however, upon good authority,
that Mr.. Richardson may not be able to
control the caucus.
Since the organization OF the general as
sembIy last Tuesday it has been reported
here that Senator Alice would have the
backing of State Chairman T. Coleman du
Pont in his fight for reelection. 1t was
stated today. authoritatvely, however, that
Chairman du Pont is opposed to Alice and
will not support him. This will doubtless
end whatever chance Alice had of being
returned to the Senate.
Governor Lea is not taking part In the
fight. He is keeping hands off. The ex-
ecutve has been mentioned frequently for
senator, but he has always discouraged
such talk.

EMIGRANTs ARE WARNED.
Indians Advised Not to Try Fortunes
in Canada.

Special tabIeeram 10 The star.
CALCUTTA, January THE government
of India has issued notice TO al of the
local governments to discourage the emil
grafton of the natives to Canada. The no.
tees posted warn the emigrants that there
is no probability of their obtaining employ
ment, and that in the event of their becom-
ing destitute they will be liable to deporta-
ton. The latest advices from British Co
lumbia are to the effect that people from
the climates of India are suffering greatly
this winter in British Columbia and that
some of the natives who left here in such
high hopes only a few months ago have
actually starved to death. Some of these
gloomy reports circulated through the VII
lagos of the natives by the natives them
selves WILL however, do more to discourage
the emigration than a dozen of the official
bulletins of the government.

CLAMORING FOR CURE.
DR.. Koch's Sleeping Sickness Treat
ment in Demand.
Special Cablegram to The Star

BERLIN. January 1.-The imperial de-
partment will shortly publish a scientific
description of Prof. Koch's cure for sleep
ing sickness. At present the professor who
is in German East Africa on the shores of
Victoria Nyanza, is besieged by suffering
natives from all parts of the colony, and
it is confirmed that the cure is successful
in almost all of the cases.
The sickness has ravaged entire districts,
depopuating large areas, and as recently
as March last the professor confessed that
he despared of ever finding cure The
disease is caused by the sting of a gnat,
and Dr. Koch was at first of the opinion
that the only remedy was to destroy the
gnats.
In spite of advanced age and Ill health
the professor decided to penetrate once
more the dangerous regions where the sick
ness abounds and his efforts have been
brilliantly successful.

BILL AIMED AT GRAFT
NEW YORK LEGISLATURE MAY
ENACT REFORM MEASURE.
Proposed That Legislators and Public
Officers Shall Not Participate in
Fees Which They Create.

ALBANY, January Very many repub-
licans who have been disappointed in their
desire for a reorganization of the senate
have decided that something must be done
to convince the voters of the state that
those in charge of the party's affairs should
take some steps to make good their desire
for reform.
With this end in view it was learned last
night that bill is to be introduced stimuli
taneously in the senate and the assembly
which will prevent senator's, assemblymen
and congressman and all others holding
public office from participating in the fees
which they as legislators and public officials
create through legislation.
Modelled on Federal Law.
1t was asserted that the bill to be intro
duced is to be based upon the federal law
which precludes a United States senator
or member of the House of Representa-
tives from participating in the financial re-
suits which might accrue from the legisla-
ton in which they are directly or indi-
rectly interested in getting on the statute
books.
The text of the bill to be introduced, as
outlined calls for two new sections to the
penal code relative to members of the
legislature. 1t is proposed that the first
section of the bill shall read as follows:
Provisions of Bill.
mo member of the Legislature, after his
election and during his continuance in Office,
and no head of a department or other officer
or clerk in the employ of the state, shall
receive or agree to receive any compensa-
ton whatever. directly or indirectly, for
any services rendered to be rendered to
any person, either by himself or another in
relation to any proceeding, contract, claim,
controversy, charge, accuse ton, arrest or
other matter or thing in which the state is
party or directly or indirectly interested,
before any department, court-martial, bu-
reau. officer any civil or military COM
mission whatever Every person offending
of a misdemeanor and shall be imprisoned
not more than two years and fined not more
than $4,000"
The second section reads:
mo member of the legisla ture after his
election and during his continuance in Of
flee shall act agree to act as attorney or
counsel in any action, proceeding litiga-
ton whatsoever. to. for or on behalf of any
state department. bureau, officer civil or
military commission whatever. Every per-
son offending against this section shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall
be imprisoned not more than two years and
fined not more than $1,000
The necessity for this proposed legisla-
ton, in the estimation of the republicans
who desire a better state Of things in their
party arises 1t was proclaimed last night,
from discoveries made through Comptroller
Martin H. Glynn.
