Nantucket, Mass, Jan. 23.--In crop
ing her way through the dense fog off
Nantucket lightship at dawn today
the steamer Florida, of the Lloyd
Italian line, bound to New York
from Naples. dealt death blow to the
outward bound steamer Republic. OF
the White Star line. laden with pleas
ure- seeking passengers for southern
Europe and with supplies for the
United States battleship fleet.
The steamer Florida, proving to be
less seriously injured than the other
steamer, took aboard the Republics
passengers almost Immediately and II
hours later all the officers and crew
of the Republic, with the exception Of
Captain Sealby, left that vessel, Cap
Sealby, in his gig, refusing to leave
the sight Of his beloved ship until she
had disappeared forever beneath the
waves.
The Republic was on her regular
course for the eastward but the Flor
ida was 80 miles off the prescribed line
for inward bound steamers. Whether
she was seeking to return to that course
or was wandering still farther astray
in the fog, could not be learned from
the meager dispatches received up to
10 o'clock tonight.
Prevents Death.
Stout watertight compartments pre-
vented a repitition of the Bourgoyne
disaster of 10 years ago and kept the
Republic afloat for more than Is
hours. The watertignu compartment
installation not only kept the Florida
above water, but enabled her to return
to the assistance of the Republic after
the fearful recoil Of the collision.
The two ships collided at $3.50 a. M,
about 26 miles southwest of Nan
tucket lightship. The next three hours
were occupied In summoning aid and
transferring the 461 passengers, $50
in the cabin and 211 in the steerage
from the Republic to the Florida'
Captain Sealby and his officers and
crew, however, refused to leave while
there was the slightest hope Of saving
the vessel
During the day frequent messages
stated that the chances of saving the
Republic were diminishing hourly, that
the Baltic, LeLorraine and Lucania
were nearing the scene and at p
m. came word from the Baltic that
she was alongside the stricken vessel
and ready to render every assistance
Fill With Water.
One by one the greater watertight
compartments on board the Republic
filled as the bulkheads gave way under
the pressure and at o'clock tonight
all hands were ordered to abandon the
ship and the officers and crew went
over the side in their boats.
An hour later, Captain Sealby hav-
ing sent his boats crew ahead, came
down off the bridge and left the Re-
public, the last man over the side
Captain Sealby resolutely refused to
go aboard the other steamers while
his own ship remained afloat.

However, the annihilation of Sena-
tor DOMAINS poolroom bill should not
be classed with this sort of action.
True, the bill was shelved by the
unanimous vote of the senate, but it
was with the understanding that
there will be another measure put
through which will settle absolutely
the fate of the men who lure the youth
of Silver Bow into the habit of play
ing the ponies There Is strong senti-
ment here against the poolroom and
its people and, as was remarked be-
fore in this correspondence, when the
poolroom fellows come over from Sill
Yer Bow this year they do not find
Senator Haviland here. He is a mem
ber of the senate, of course, and a
very able and popular member, but he
is not here when the poolroom men
call: there is too much sentiment in
Butte business circles against the pool
room: and two years ago the doctor
was host in himself when the come
on-boys men needed help. Either the
senate will take up one of the pool
room bills that have been introduced
in the house. or they will have a new
one of their own; that's certain. The
death of the Donlan bill does not
bring any joy to the friends of the
game. All that was in the Donlan
bill Is covered in two house bills. One
prohibits the selling of pools in Mon
tana on races run outside of the
state and the other limits the number
of days racing may be carried on in
any county There is the strongest
sort of lobby, here representing the
business interests of Butte working
for the passage of both bills, and the
pool-room men are Just as asidiously
trying to defeat them. The anti-pool-
room men may not get all they want,
but the poolroom advocates will get
very little, If the signs are judged
Alright.

With three weeks of the session
gone, the record of the eleventh leg
islature is a total of 1872 bills intro
duced, of which 1879 have originated
in the house and SO in the senate. OF
that number about 20 have been killed
and three have become laws, the lat
ter all appropriation bills. Judging
from the character of those slaughtered
the present Legislature will go down in
the legislative history of the state as
a conservative body. Among the bills
killed the past week were three, all
having to do with empowering city
councils to regulate the charges for
gas and electric lighting. In addition
to these the measures that make
their appearance at every session, that
are usually termed advance legisla-
tion, and some of which have already
shown up, are meeting scant favor,
and their fate is as good as sealed.
The most radical legislation that has
so far survived is that which ex-
empts mortgages from taxation. This
bill has appeared regularly for 10
years, but this time it has the en-
dorsement of the assessors and coun-
~ commissioners of the state and also
that of many conservative men. It is
no longer classed with the radical.
