MUCH APPREHENSION FELT FOR
THE "soUTHERN CROSS AND
HER CREW.
STEAMER CARRIED ITO MEN
Hope for the Safety of the Vessel
Was Dissipated When the Govern
msnt Declared That She Had Not
Arrived at Sydney, N. S.

st. Johns, N. F., April 3.--Apprehen-
sion grew here today that the sealing
steamer Southern Cross went down
with ali on board during the blizzard
off Cape Race Tuesday She carried
a crew of 40 men, and was heavily
loaded with 1900 seal skins, trophies
of the hunt in the Gulf OF st. Law
renee.
Hope for the safety of the vessel,
based on dispatch from Sydney, NJ
D., which stated that wireless mes
sage had been received there report
ing the arrival of the Southern Cross,
was dissipated before noon when the
government declared the Sydney re-
port untrue.
The government has instituted an
extended search for the missing YES
sci. The Reid Newfoundland Com
many's steamer Kyle was chartered
for the purpose, and will sail at mid
night The American cutter Seneca
which is doing iceberg patrol duty
several hundred miles off the southern
coast, was asked to help.
The sealer Bellaventure, with her
cargo Of dead, is blocked in the ice
100 miles ncrth of here, and cannot
arrive before Sunday. She went to
the aid of her sister sealer, the New
foundland, when 120 hunters from the
latter were caught by the storm Tues
day and were unable to regain their
ship. The Bellaventure, the Stephano
and the Florizel picked up many bod
les and number of survivors. 1t is
known that SO lives We're lost and
1t is believed that 1t is scarcely pos
sible that the latter could have sur
vived long exposure on the ice foes.

WILL NOT REDUCE CUSTOMS
REVENUES MORE THAN FIG.
URED BY CONGRESS.
EXPECTATIONS ARE REALIZED
According to the Treasury's March
Statement Customs Revenues Were
Only $1,5oo,ooo Less Than Payne
Adrich Law Produced in 1918.

Washington, April 3.-The Under
wood-Slmmons tariff act went into ef-
feet six months ago today and present
indications are that 1t Will not reduce
customs revenue any more than was
estimated in Congress at the time of
passage.
According to- the treasury's March
statement customs revenues amounted
to about $26,000,00O, which is about
$l,5OO,O00 less than the Payne-Aldrich
law produced in March, 1913. That
was marked increase over February
when revenues fell more than $10,-
100000 compared to the same month
of 1913.
The average decrease in customs
revenue for the six months the I'm
derwood-Simmons act has been in op-
Grafton is placed at about 100000,
but officials were confident today that
1t would be reduced in the coming
six months. The annual reduction
was estimated about $45, 100000 a
year
Despeite reports OF an unexpected
failure of income tax returns to prom
ise the revenue necessarv to offset

were inclined today to believe that
the government would find its origi-

FUTURE POLICY OF INTEREST
Disposition on Part of Washington
, Government to Refrain From Pip
lomatic Activity During the Present
Struggle In Mexico.

Washington, April 3.-Announce-
ment of the prospective departure
from Vera Uruz of John Lind, Presi-
dent Wilson's personal representative,
revived interest today in the future
trend of the Washington governments
Mexican policy.
For several weeks officials here
have pointed to the battle of Torreon
as likely to furnish an index of the
future, but the result, as well as its
situation as respects the strength of
the two factions, is still matter of
some uncertainty.
While the President has said Mr.
Lind would return to Vera Cruz after
he had obtained rest, many obser-
vers think he never will go back, as
there has been a disposition for many
weeks on the part of the Washington
government to refrain from diplomatic
activity while the contending military
Hirces struggled for supremacy in
Mexico. That this position will be
continued indefinitely is probable un-
less injury to foreigners or some 9TH
er unlocked Nor emergency causes
embarrassment
In the attention that has been con
centrated on the battle at Torreon,
the Benton and Vergara cases have
been practically lost sight OF, but there
Is every indication that with the bat
tie over and when another readiust-
ment of military forces ensues, fur
ther information will be sought from
both Constitutionalst and Federal
chiefs as to the course they intend
to pursue in satisfaction of injuries
inflicted by their subordinates.

According to Captain Cavileer, the
Thompson was proceeding cautiously
a fog with signals sounding when
the Snow, with all sails set, and run
ming eight knots or more, loomed up
out OF the gray mist and struck the
Thompson amidships. The schooner's
bowsprit hit the steamers stack and
turned it around tearing loose the
fastening riyets.
Two big holes were torn in the
steamers side, and water poured into
one fire hold, running the firemen
out. However, the force of the COLI
sion shifted the coal in the steamers s
bunkers, and she listed so that the
holes were soon above water. Capt.
Cavileer then sent men over the side,
and had them put on two steel plates
to cover the hole. He claims this is
the first instance on record where
such repairs were made at sea by a
steamer.
