Vessel Week Overdue at New York
Sighted December 2S Two Days
Out from San Juan.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The missing steam
er Ponce, of the New York and Porto Rico
Steamship Company, which is about week
overdue at New York, enroute from Ponce,
p. r., was safe and proceeding toward
New York two days after leaving San Juan.
This information was brought into port to-
day by Captain Chapman, OF the big sail
ing ship Shenandoah, which arrived from
Port Blakely. Captain Chapman reported
that on December 2S he sighted the Ponce
in clear weather and proceeding at its US
ual speed toward New York. Believing
that the steamer would be in this port sew
eral days before the Shenandoah would ar
rive he signalled to the steamer TO report
the Shenandoah on arriving. When sighted
the Ponce was on north latitude 274S and
west longitude As. 1t had not covered
half the distance from Ponce to New York.
but was about $50 miles north of Porto
Rico and $50 miles northeast OF the Bahama
islands which were the nearest land.
Captain Chapman, of the Shenandoah,
said today that the Ponce had probably
been disabled by an accident to it's ma
chinery and had drifted out of the path
of the regular liners from the West Indies,
but will be reported or towed into port by
some steamer bound from Europe to a
southern port.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-Secretary Shaw
today ordered out two additional revenue
cutters in search Of the steamer Ponce Of
the New York and Porto Rico Steamship
company, now seven days overdue at New
York from San Juan. The Seminole was
started out from Charleston, s. c., and the
Algonquin from Porto Rico. The Mohawk
had previously been started from New
York. The three revenue cutters will make

GREAT STORM ON ATLANTIC
One Member of Crew of the Etruria
Killed and Six Injured by
Huge Wave.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-One of its crew
was killed and six others seriously injured
when the Cunard liner Etruria was fight
ing it's way through a severe storm on
Friday night. The body of the man killed
was buried at sea- The others injured
were in the hospital when the steamer ar
rived today from Queenstown.
Friday night, while the Etruria was
plowing through heavy head seas and great
waves were breaking over it's deck. the
lashings on the starboard anchor davits
were torn loose. New lashings were put
on, but some hours later they broke loose
again. The watch of nine men once more
started forward to secure them, but just
as they completed their task huge wave
swept over the boat, knocking them right
and left James Walker. able seaman, was
swept the full length of the forecastle
deck. He struck squarely on the rail at the
foot of the stairs and his spine was broken.
Others of the crew rushed to the fore
castle deck. which they found strewn with
unconscious men. William Newell, the
most dangerously injured. will likely die. p
When the storm was at its height a girl
was born in the steerage. The mother is
Mrs Jacob Goldstein, and after a collection
amounting to $50 had been taken up among
the cabin passengers the baby was christ
ened Rachael Etruria Goldstein.
During the greater part of the voyage
the passengers were kept below and none
Of them knew a death had occurred until
they were summoned by Captain Potter to
attend the burial service for Walker at
noon Saturday. Walkers home was in
Liverpool.
Captain Potter said today that never dur
ing his many wears as n seaman had he
experienced such rough weather.

BOMB THRowER IDENTIFIED
Man who Wrecked Philadelphia
Bank was RoIIo steele, For
merly of Garner, In.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 6.-With the find
ing today Of the personal effects OF the
man who threw the bomb in the Fourth
Street National bank on Saturday, killing
Cashier w. y. McBear and himself, there
is little doubt in the minds Of the police
officials that he was Rollo Steele of Garner
Iowa.
The bomb-thrower slept Friday night at
the Grant house. a hostelry on the outskirts
Of the tenderloin, frequented mostly by re-
spectacle working people. He registered as
]. r. Steele of New York. and carried a
grip which he refused to allow the colored
porter to carry to the room.
When detectives searched the room today
they found several yards OF slow fuse. a
number OF detonation caps, a revolver, a
box OF cartridges, together with a number
OF tools and some clothing. There was a
suit bearing the tag of Chicago clothing
house and a pair OF overalls marked with
the name OF a Lynchburg (va) merchant.
AS Rollo Steele was reported to have been
in Chicago and Lynchburg, the latter place
within a few days, the police say there is
little doubt as to the bomb-throwers iden-
tity.
1t is probable that none of those hurt by
the explosion will die.
William ]. Crump the negro messenger in
the bank and bodyguard of President Rich
ard II. Rushton of the institution. who is
the most seriously injured, was today op-
Grated on. His condition was such a few
hours after the explosion that he was re-
ported dead, but he rallied and the
physicians operated in an effort to save his
eyesight. though his ayes will never regain
their normal condition. Crump, after the
operation, said his recollection Of the af-
fair comedies in the main with the state
ment made yesterday by President Rushton.

NEW CUSTOMS POINT RAISED

Atlantic Liner.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Goods valued, It
is alleged, at 5000 were seized last night
on the Royal Mail liner Tagus, by Treasury
Department agents as the steamer lay at
its pier in the North river.
All the stuff was taken from the barber
shop, which is conducted by G. Canapa,
an Italian. The articles included cigars
cigarettes and various articles of cloth
ing, none of which was declared on the
custom manifest according to the treasury
agents.
|. Lloyd B. Sanderson, agent for the Royal
Mail, declared that the barber had a per-
feet right to carry the line Of goods seized
on the ship.
He is not an employe of the Royal Mall
said Mr. Sanderson. HE pays $40 a TRIP
for the privileges of the barber shop, and
in addition to his acting as barber, con-
ducts the general ship store. 1t was per.
! fectly legitimate, we consider. for him tc

clothing. There has been no attempt al

ANARCHISTS UNDER ARREST
Emma Goldman and Alexander Berk-
man Charged with IncendiRry
Utterances.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6-Alexander Berk-
man. who last summer was released from
states prison. after having served fourteen
years for an attack on Henry c. Frick,
following the Homestead. Pa, riots in 1892
together with Emma Goldman and two
others, were arrested today by detectives,
who broke up an anarchist meeting on tho
East Side. Emma Goldman made the
speech which moved the police to action,
while Berkman exhorted the audience to
disobey the command to disperse. The
other prisoners are John r. Coryell, who
presided at the meeting, and Israel L.
Schwartz, a youth of 16 years, who refused
to leave the hall when It was cleared.
Emma Goldman is charged with a viola
tion Of that section of the penal code which
makes It a felony to give utterance from q
public platform to incendiary speeches.
Berkman and Coryell are held as access
sories
Emma Goldman had not proceeded far
in her address when she was interrupted
by the police, according TO whom she said
among other things, in English:
1t is ridiculous to think that society
cannot get along without government. We
will say to the government: Give us what
belongs to us In peace, and IL you don't
give It to us in peace we will take 1t by

tates will use force against the govern
ment.
AS the detectives moved toward the stage
there was stampede for the exits, which
BeTkman tried TO stop.
Asked at police headquarters to define
anarchy as he understood the term,
Berkman said
II believe as an anarchist in government
without force. The foundation of the pres
ent and all government is force. I believe
society is perfectly capable of governing
| itself"
Emma Goldman and Berl1man were later
admitted to bail, a bond OF 5000 in each
| case being furnished.

INDIA WANTS NO EMIGRATION
Natives Told to Stay at Home and
Especially to Keep from
Canada.

CALCUTTA, Jan. 6.-(Special.) 1.-THE gov
ernment of India has issued a notice to all
OF the local governments to discourage the
emigration of the natives to Canada. The
notices posted warn the emigrants that
there is no probability of their obtaining
employment and that IN the event of their
becoming destitute they will be liable to
deportation. The latest advices from Brit
ish Columbia 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 few months ago
have actually starved to death. Some of
these gloomy reports circulated through the
villages OF the natives by the natives
themselves will however. do more to dis
courage the emigration than a dozen OF the
official bulletins of the government.

The changing over of Henri Roche fort, the famous journalist and pole mist, from the paper "LIntransigeant. with which he has been connected ever since 1880, to another Radical paper La Patrie," sudden as 1t was. caused quite a flutter In the Journalistic and boulevard dovecotes.
 Rochefort who Is by rank Marquis, opponents of all constituted authority in France, and the wielder of one of the fiercest pens in controversy. an ex- dueliist raconteur, boulevard, ex- communist, who was condemned to death and escaped from New Caledonia is one of the most famous figures in the political and literary circles of Paris. He Is now 77 years old.
 Since he returned after the Amnesty he has written daily in the 'LIntran- sigeant," always at his favorite task of opposing governments. His famous escape from New Caledonia, when he landed in New York without a cent, and sat down to write his adventures for a New York paper. for which he obtained a large sum of money. Is we'll remem- bCN ed here.
 He was at one time the most im- portant owner of the paper he has now left, but it had latterly fallen under. in view of the newer Journalistic methods of the day. and latterly he has only been assistant editor.

EVANS AT BANQUET
ADMIRAL IS TREATED BEFORE HIS
 DEPARTURE. 1
Friends Do Not Understand Why His Fleet should Sail The Pacific As We'll As The At-
 Inntfc.

New York Nov, 2.-AdmiraI Robley D. Evans, who Is soon to depart in command of the battleship squadron for the Pacific, was the guest of honor at notable dinner given tonight at the Lotus Club.
 The speakers included. besides the guests of honor, Senator Chauncey Depew, ex-Secretary of the Treasury Shaw. Bishop Potter. Seth Low, Ad- miral Coghlan and Nicholas Murray Butler, president of columbia Univer- sity.
 In responding to toast to his health Admiral Evans said: This fleet of sixteen battleships and other vessels will sail from Hampton Roads Decem- Der Is. I don't thing anybody wants to stop 1t. I don't think anybody will stop 1t for know the men and know the ships. You/ wont be disappointed in the fleet whether it proves to be a feast, frolic or a fight.
 Tt would please me very much to take the fleet to Yokohoma. know the Japanese and I know we would get a welcome there. I know it would a certain gang in San Francisco. do not fear the flower shows and dog shows but do fear the hospitality of those western people,"
 Senator Chauncey M. Depew spoke in part as follows A
 .Ino COmmOtlOn WHICH this SApoul tion has created. and the discussion 1t has aroused all over the world is one of the eccentricities of the times. Why, why, can our fleet sail only on the Atlantic and must not sail on the Pa cific? The answer is because 1t would offend the susceptibilities of the new power in the East--Japan. In the first place, 1t is believed that the Japanese statesmen are too sensible and too well informed to have any such feeling, or to desire trouble with the United States. In the next place where any fleet or any friendly nation goes ours can go if it likes and it Is no ones business but our own"
 He continued: And now, after a century of preparation, of production, of progress. and of power, 1t Is pro posed to close the Pacific. in which we have as great interests as any other nation. Gentlemen, there will be no war. After this expedition the Amert- can navy will be able to sail where It is ordered and when the United States government things it expedient with out any question being raised or any pretext of sensitiveness or hostility"
