I SHIP IS LOST" While on Way From New York 1o M Galveston. WITH SIXTY PEOPLE. ' She Is Now Overdue Several Days ti and Is Supposed to Have Found- ^ ered at Sea Off the Coast of North d b Carolina Last Saturday?She Was a An Old Vessel. 1 S New York, Feb. 2.?The Mallory line steamship San Marcos, which a left here on Wednesday for (.Salves- g ton. Texas, with ten passengers and l a crew of r>0 was reported today to I) be missing and there are grave h fears that she is the vessel which went down off Elizabeth City, N. C., f The San Marcos was due to pass Sand Key, near Iveywest 011 Sunday night, but up to today she had not been cited off that point. The Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico have been scoured with wireless messages to the San Marcos, but up to today there has been 110 reply from the vessel. The Mallory line officials here today declared that they had 110 anxety as to the safety of the San Marcos; but they were forced to admit that they have heard nothing from the steamer since she left here last Wednesday. She is due in Galvestion tomorrow, but should have been spoken by other vessels long before this. A message from Key West today stated that anxiety over the San Marcos had reached that city and wireless messages had been sent out for a radius of 150 miles from Sand Key, calling for the San Marcos. She has not replied. None of the ?J vessels passing Sand Key have reached the missing boat. The San Marcos is nearly 30 years old, and is one of the more old ( fashioned kind of iron vessels. She was at one time a Ward liner, then was sold to the government for an army transport for service during the Spanish-American war and since that time, has been in the Mallory service between here and Galveston, Texas. The vessel that went down near the Diamond Shoals lightship, off Elizabeth City, N. C., so far as can be learned, was not unlike the San Marcos in appearance. She had a passenger deck like the San Marcos, was plainly a coaster and flew the United States ensign. The vessel that went down on Diamond Shoals was afire at the stern. She was seen by the observer at Cape Hatteras, by the man aboard the Diamond Shoals light- , ship and also by those on the Savannah line steamship Savannah, which , was not far off at the time. . The strange feature of the vessel foundering is that not a trace of her has been on the sea since. She , was completely engulfed. Not a s single spar, not a boat nor even a j piece of drift wood has been found, j Her stern was spouting smoke and j flames when she was last seen and , she seemed as if to plunge downward \ nose first. There was a tremendous sea running when the unknown vessel went to the bottom. This prevented the Savannah approaching the vessel. J But the Savannah was herself engaged in keeping her head on to the storm and could not have rendered assistance if her officers had wanted to. The Savannah sighted the unknown vessel hours before she sank. But both vessels were engaged in fighting their way through the terriffic gale with the thermometer at the time at nearly zero. Both vessels kept plunging on to i the southward, but no signs ever J came from the stranger. The un- i known vessel seemed to he weather- t ing the storm well enough until the c flames broke out at her stern and s she went down in a few minutes. c The San Marcos was in command 1 of Captain Davidson. She is of 2,18S tons, 317 feet long, 39 feet beam and draws 21 feet of water. She had a single funnel and two mas'.s. . CAl'TAIX WAS IHiUXK.

PITIFUL HISTORY OF A BEAUTIFUL FRENCH GIRL TOLI) IN A Chicago Court, Where Her Master Is Convicted and Sentenced to Prison. Chicago, Feb. 1.?A pitiful story of a beautiful girl snatched from 1 the streets of Paris and lured to the United States today resulted in the nrvMtfi/ifi'/xn f\ f "LI -mr To i' r a r crprl L/Uil V ItUUH Ul ilLii! j X4W.A , o ~ ? , bv the government with promoting the "white slave" traffic in this i country.

The charges are made by the Rev. Dr. Harmon and ?ther African j Methodist Episcopal ministers in Georgia. They will be passed upon j by the college of bishops. The charges allege that Bishop Smith, in making appointments j forced preachers who were given good places to pay him for making the appointments. If the preachers ' refused, they were sent to poor places. It is also alleged Bishop Smith published two booklets and forced ^ his preachers to buy them at $1 ~ a piece. The bishop is also accused of forcing each presiding elder to pay him $2 in order to keep up the ? Episcopal wardrobe. WINS HER AT LAST. 3 - The "Wonderful Experience of a g Bride and Groom.

TILLMAN THE LEADER And He Hopes to Prevent the Confirmation of Crum by the Senate and Force President-Elect aft to Select Some One Else in His Stead. Washington, Feb. 2.?The Senate spent all of this afternoon in exexcutive session, and if the accounts that have leaked out are correct, Senator Tillman will probably give the Republican members or mat body much trouble over the confirmation of W. D. Crum, as collector for the port of Charleston, before the present session ends. According to what is said, the session was devoted not alone to the question of negroes, but also to Chinese and Japanese. Senators Bacon and McLaurin assisted Senator Tillman by discussing at length the present day question of the treatment of Japanese in California, and this led into a still further discussion of the Chinese, all of which was brought out to help in the "fillibuster" that Senator Tillman has inaugurated against Crum. With the help of the two Senators named he was able to at least keep the matter down today, and it is understood that from this time on he will be assisted by practically all the Democrats in the Senate. Although he was called down by the application of the Senate rules, he was able to beat off Senator Frye and others who are clamoring for Crum's confirmation. The pitchfork was brandished considerably, it is said, and after several hours spent in an unsuccessful attempt to put Crum through, the executive session came to an end with Senator Tillman so far the victor. There is not the least doubt now that a first class '"fillibuster" is 011, and that if Senator Tilman does not overdo himself in the attempt to hold off Crum's nomination, he will eventually be usccessful. Today's developments have given hope to those who have been following the case that the matter will go over, and that the efforts now being made to force Crum on the people of Charleston for another terb, will come to and end with the Roosevelt administration. Executive sessions are secret, and those Senators who take part in the deliberations generally decline to tell what takes place, but those who were on the outside today are firmly convinced that Senator Tillman means business, and that if he continues to like the negro, the Japanese and the Chinese question together in order to kill time he will eventually win out in the effort to defeat Crum. TAFT TO BECOME A MA SOX. Will Be Made One ou Sight in the Mate 01 Unio. Cincinnati, Feb. 2.?The Grand Master of Ohio Masons has tendered to William Howard Taft the rare and high honor of being made a Mason at sight.

HOUSES KNOCKED DOWN And a Bridal Party Shocked by a Live Wire. New York, Feb. 1.?A live wire almost caused a wedding party to end in a tragedy last evening.

United States Supreme Court l'i holds Jobber's Contention Again* Continental Wall Paper Compan; Washington, Feb. 1.?The case c the Continental Wall Paper Con pany vs. Lewis Voight & Sons ( Cincinnati was today decided by th supreme court of the United Stat( in Voight's tavor. ine suu w< brought by the company on a del of $57,000, the payment of whie was resisted on the ground that tl paper company is a trust. In effei the decision holds that an admitte trust, organized contrary to tl Sherman anti-trust law, can not uf the court to collect debts. It was represented that Voigl had bought over $200,000 ^ worl of paper, on which he had paid E per cent more than he would ha^ had to pay if there had been cor petition. It was also set out thi the Continental Company had bee organized to conduct the business i the various wall paper factories i the United States and that Voight i a jobber in its products, had be< compelled to sign a strict agreeme on the threat that if he did not < so no paper would be sold to hi and that it would be made impc sible for him to continue in bus ness. In a demurrer the company adm ted that it was a trust and still co tended that it could properly colle debts due it. On this showing t company's petition was dismissed the trial court and its decision w affirmed by the United States circi court of appeals for the Sixth circu Today's opinion was by Justice Hi lan, and sustained the decision of the lower courts. Justice Brew< White, Peckham and Holmes d sented. Justice Harlan's opinion was considerable length and dealt in c tail with the various phases of t case. It was based on the thi defense of Voight, that the compa is part of a trust. He started o wilh tlie proposition that the Cc tinental Company is within the pi hibition of the Sherman act, whi< he said, is clear from the facts i forth in its defense. He then we on to show that this corporati is the representative of combinati which would have the effect not c ly of restraining, but of monoi lizing the sale and manufacture paper.
