TJie drama of the. sea, which for more than 24 hours hi held the attention of tlie world, and which has not been without tragic features, ran through Its last sensational scenes with the coming of Sunday's dawn, and tonight Is tearing: the end. The ramming of the White Star liner Republic eariy Saturday morning by tha Italian liner Florida, off . Nantucket, Miss., has been followed by a series of events constituting one of the most re markable ocean mishaps on record. Not V-ss thiin seven ocean liners the Baltic, New York, Furnesia, La Lorraine and Lucania and the two crippled ships, Florida and Republic evre figuring in the stirring story. The 442 passengers and some members of the crew of the Repub lic have undergone two transfers on the open sea. first to the crippled Florida on Saturday morning and again early today to tlie more commodious Baltic. Mi Killed in Accident. Until an early hour today It was be lieved no one was killed ur injured, but shortly after midnight the wireless tele graph flashed the news that two passen gers on the Republic had been killed aud two others injured. Late In tha day an other wireless message told of four deaths on board tlie F.oritia. either of members of tiie crew or steerage passengers. The identity of these was not made clear. The message from Captain Ransom, of the Baltic, to the White Star Company In this city, gave the names of the dead passengers as .Mrs. Eugene Lynch, of Boston, and W. K. Mooney, a banker, of Langdon, X. D. The injured were Mrs. M. M. Murphy, wire of lite financial agent of tlie Union Central Ufe Insurance Company, of Grand Forks, X. L., and Eugene Lynch. or Huston.

The point where the Republic went down is described in brief wireless mes sages received here tonlrbt as off No Man's Land, a small island south of Martha's Vineyard Island, oft the Mas sachusetts coast. The Italian liner Florlca, which crashed Into the Republic in the dense fog; off Nantucket early Saturday morn ing and gave her me aeatn diow. is slowly steaming towards New iorK, convoyed by the American liner New York. The Baltic was in wireless communi cation with the Fire Island station at 11 tonight, but did not define her posi tion. The weather was very thick and she could not be slgbted from the station. It was considered unlikely that the Baltic would come up the bay tonight but would await daylight before pro ceeding to her pier. This, in brief, is the situation late to night In the stirring story of the sea, of which the first wireless flash of the collision of the two big ships was re ceived yesterday morning.

" Shortly befora midnight the re-transfer of the passengers from the Florida to the Baltic began. Fortunately, tlie seawas as placid as a lake. Meanwhile the Re public drifted away in the murk and was lost to the sight of those on board the Baltic and Florida. CaptaLn Sealby and a boat's crew drift ed alongside Che Republic in a gig and were keeping watch over tho disabled . liner when she became enveloped in fog at 10 o'clock last night, and was lost to the view of the Baltic Passengers Transferred to Baltic. Early today the transfer of passengers to the Baltic was computed, and Captain Itanaom sent a wireless message to New York that he was going In search of the Republic. As the morning advanced t tic fog lifted and the disabled steamship was p-cked up. The gored liner scorned to be floating more easily and Captain Sealby and his boat crew, who had remained alongside ail night, went aboard. The wireless operator, who had stuck to his ship until ordered off by the captain, ob tained some new storage tanks and also returned to the disabled liner. Meanwhile a fleet of salvage tugs had arrived at the scene, and the American liner Ne'v York had taken a position near tiie Florida, whilt the Anchor liner Fur nesia. which had come up during the night, stood by ready to render assist ance. Shortly bofore 10 o'clock Captain Ran som received a wireless from his com pany's officials to bring the Baltic and the rescued passengers to this port, with out remaining with the Republic. Within a few minutes after receipt of the order. the Baltic was headed away to the west ward for this port. A wireless message from the Baltic, wnlch ii bringing the passengers of the Republic and Florida to New York, re ported her position off hire Island at S:40 this evening.

NEW YORK. Jan. 24. The palatial ocean steamship Republic, of the White Star 'ine. which was in collision with the Italian liuer Florida early Saturday morning off Nantucket.

That assertion raises the question of Just how many votes it takes to elect a United States Senator in the Illinois Gen. eral Assembly. This is Mr. Hopkins' con tention, as he explained: "A majority of the State Senate and a majority of the lower house are sufficient In numbers to constitute a Joint session of the Legislature. A man who gets a majority of such a joint session would be elected to the United States Senate. There is no question about that, for the law Is plain."

The rescue of the six men left on board the wrecked American schooner Soquel fast on Sea bird rocks, and Mate Swenson, who had remained on the rocks, was effected this morning soon after daybreak by the crew of the Canadian Pacific steamer Tees and the lifeboat crew from Barn field, which went to the wreck on the steamer Leebro. and all were transferred to the United States revenue cutter Man ning to be taken to Neah Bay for medical treatment. The bodies of the victims of the dis aster. Captain Hennlngson's wife and child, who were killed by falling spars, when tho two aftermasts came down, after the schooner drove on the rocks, were not recovered, and the Bamfleld life-saving crew made an effort this morning to get the bodies from the lost vessel. When darkness came last -night the Tees and the Leebro took the Jive men recovered from the little rock oft Sea bird Islet to Bamfleld. The United States Steamship Manning, which arrived from Neah Bay with the United States life boat and life-saving crew, threw her searchlight upon the wreck and stood by during the night. At low water shortly before daylight Captain Hennlngson and those with him Joined Mate Swenson on the rock, having refused to leave with the five others rescued yesterday until the survivors who remained on the wreck were taken also. The men were all In a state of exhaus tion, several suffering from injuries. Reports from the scene of the wreck furnished yesterday were in error as to the name of the captain whose wife and daughter were killed by the falling masts. Captain Charles Hennlngson, a master well known in Pacific Coast ship ping circles, was in command of the wrecked vessel, and it was his family who lost their lives.

SAX FRAXCISCO, Jan. 24. (Special.) With President Roosevelt Interested and expectant, Governor Gillett thor oughly angry. Speaker Stanton unalter ably opposed to drastic anti-Japanese legislation, and friends of such meas ures equally determined to force their pet bills through both house of the Leg islature, the deliberations of the As sembly this week will have wide Inter est. Yesterday Grover L. Johnson Intro duced the Camenetti Joint resolution memorializing Congress to extend the terms and provisions of the Chines ex clusion laws to a.rp1y to and to include all Asiatics. Yesterday Sackett, by re quest, presented a bill to amplify the i existing laws by providing separate ele mentary schools for Chinese and Mon golians. Wednesday next Drew's bill inhibiting the ownership of property by aliens who are not citizens of tlie United States, and Johnson's measure prohibit ing aliens from serving as directors of corporations will come up as special orders. There is but one topic in the capltol Japanese. Many resolutions have been received by the legislature from com mercial and religious- bodies protesting against the passage of the anti-Japanese measures, and warning legislators of the danger of stirring up this question of discrimination against the proud and sensitive Japanese. Drew, who intro duced the alien bill, has agreed to amend his measure by striking out the clause, "Who Is not a citizen of the United States." The bill will then read, "No alien shall acquire title to or own land in the State of California." Governor Gillett Is strongly opposed to any anti-Japanese legislation at this time, regarding it as unwise and uncalled for. He will probably veto any bill that may be passed. Speaker Stanton, of the Assembly, Is also opposed to such legislation and he has given out that he will not permit in the discussion on the floor any attacks on the President or the attitude of the. Administration toward the Japanese. This Is mainly directed against Johnson, who hates Roosevelt and never misses an opportunity to express his antipathy. Johnson, Drew and others have stirred up much bitter feeling by their declara tions that the President's telegram on Japanese measures was an insult to California and to the Legislature, which they should resent by promptly adopt ing all their drastic measures. Johnson's argument Is that Californians have waited patiently for two years1 for the President to redeem his promises, but nothing has been done. Therefore, he thinks tha state should enact laws to protect itself against the Japanese. The friends of these bills seem confident that the coming week will see several of the anti-Japanese measures adopted. Drew Is especially optimistic about his bill forbidding aliens to hold land. At any rate, there will be a lively row whether tho bills pass or not. In the meantime.
