Christian Ku doml. x. whose extradition On charges of murder, areun and other crimes wu de manded by the Russian government, and involving- countercharges that tile of fenses were In furtherance of a political movement, will not be extradited. This d-cision was announced by Secretary of State Root today. In effect the extradition was refused be cause the offer -charged comes under the general prohibition against extradition treaty with Russia, which declares that If Jt be made to appear that extradition Is sought with the view to try or punish for an offense of a political prisoner, sur render shall not take place. The testi mony taken In the case by United States ronimVioner Foote. at Chicago, upholds the views taken by the department, though the Commissioner upheld the Rus s'an government's demand. Mr. Root declined to comment on the decision pending formal notification to the Russian authorities of the depart ment's derision. The case aroused wide spread Interest, particularly !n Chicago, among the anti-Russian element, where a fund was raised In defense of the man. The action bv the Secretary.

TELLS STORY OF DISASTER Captain Sealby to Iyose License Un til Investigation Is Made Op erator Burns Also Share In-Public Triumph. NEW TORK, Jan. 26. When Captain Sealby, of the wrecked White Star liner Republic, reached the line's pier on West street today he was greeted with a re markable demonstration of welcome. With him were Second Officer Williams, Operator Blnns and he volunteer crew that stayed by the sinking steamer until the last. The crews of the Republic and Baltic, backed by a crowd of 3000 people, were at the dock when the last survivors of the wreck arrived, and they broke through the police lines and raised the captain and the operator to their shoul ders, carrying hem the full length of the dock and up to the company's offices on the second floor. Inside the offices the employes greeted him with cheers, and Insisted upon a speech. The captain was placed on a table, and said: "I am glad to see you all again; I am glad we are all here safely." He then retired with the officers of the line for a conference. In which Operator Rinns took part. White Star Line officials, said today that o.t result of the accident was the Immediate revocation of the license of Csptain Sealby of the Republic. Captain Sealby will remain in New Tork perhaps a week, and then will proceed to Liver tool. There he will be cited to appear before the Board of Trade for examina tion. If the Board of Trade exonerates the captain from responsibility for the collision his license will be at once re stored. Operator Blnns was a cheerful, wide awake young fellow once more after a good night's rest, but declined to talk of his experiences on the Republic, in this attitude he was encouraged by his employers who deemed It inadvisable for him to say much of the eventful doings until he had made his formal statement to the officials of the com pany. Blnns admitted, however, that he had been at a wireless key in Jamaica during the Kingston earthquake. As for the credit for what he has done, he said every bit of It was Captain Seal by's due. Captain Tells Story. Few marine stories of recent years of marvelous escapes from the sea, equal In dramatic Intensity that told by Cap tain Sealby today of the escape of Sec ond Officer Williams and himself from the Republic The captain would no! talk of the-col-llslon with the steamer Florida. Cap tain Sealby said: "It was about 8 o'clock Sunday night when the Republic was sinking and only myself and Williams were on the bridge. There was a rumbling and cracking at the after end of the boat. The stern was settling very rapidly and the sea was pretty bad. Then I said to Williams: 'Well. well, what do you think about it. Williams?" and Williams answered: 'I don't think It will be a long race. Let us sprint for It. When you are ready, let her go." I looked aft again and saw how fast she was go ing and I told Williams to burn a blue light. Then I fired my revolver five times to let the boats around me know that we were going off. Turning to Williams, I said: 'Let us take to the forward rigging," and we ran from the bridge to tle saloon deck burning our blue lights as we went and carry ing an ordinary lantern. "When we got to the saloon decks, the water, was coming in a little aft of where we stood. As we ran forward the stern was sinking so rapidly that the Incline was so steep that when We got to the fore rigging we started to slip back and could hardly keep on deck. The last I saw of Williams he had crossed the post rail and was hang ing over the side. I took to the rigging and went up as high as the masthead lights, a distance of many feet. I rest ed there and 'took out a blue light. It was wet and would not go off, and I then fired the last shot from my re volver. The water had now caught up to me, coming- up under my great coat, nnd I floated. The revolver and my blnocle held my coat down, acting as a sort of ballast. At this time the water was a roaring, seething mass all about me. I was caught in a whirlpool for some time and I was churned around until I came to the surface. I tried toliull off my coat, but could not. There was considerable debris about me and I managed to catch hold of some broken spars. Then I caught a large hatch covering and I pulled my self out on it and lay on it spread eagle fashion. Fired From AVnlcr. "The searchlights had been playing on the ship, and were now playing on the spot where she went down. It seemed an interminable time until they did see me, but 1 managed to load my revolver again and fired to attract their attention. The bullets had been greased and they kept dry. "I was getting weak, oold and numb. I Just lay on the hatch and saved my eelf until the last, shouting at inter vals. Then the lights played on me and I waved a towel which I had found floating near me and shortly after the boats from the revenue cutter Gresham picked me up and carried me aboard. I found Williams In that little lifeboat. I thought I had seen the last of him." Captain Sealby praised in unmeasured terms the courage and pluck of the Re public's passengers, officers and crew and operator. He will make his report of the accident to the officers of the White Star Company some time today. Second Officer Williams said when he found himself in the sea, he seized two pieces of floating grating and held him self up between them until picked up by the revenue cutter's boat. Officer Williams said: "They found me before they picked up Captain Sealby, and when the cap tain was taken aboard the lifeboat he lay still for a time; then he turned and threw his arms around me and said: 'You were game, to the last." " GIVE CAUSE OF COLLISION' Agents of Florida Issue Statement on Wreck. NEW TORK, Jan. 28. A statement as to the cause of the collision between the White Star liner Republic and the Italian liner Florida was issued today by C. B. Richards & Co, agents of the Florida. The statement says: "A dense fog existed at the time of the collision. The Florida, had been pro ceeding at a moderate speed, blowing her fog whistle frequently. The captain and chief officers were on the bridge and the quartermaster was at the wheel and the lookout was doubled on account of the fog. "The Florida was proceeding slowly, when the fog whistles of another steam er, which afterward proved to be the Republic, were heard by the officers and lookouts off the starboard bow of the Italian steamer. "The engines of the FlorWa were re versed and two signals of three whistles were blown, indicating that the engines were going astern. The collision never theless took place, the bow of the Flor ida striking the port slile of the Repub lic somewhat aft of amidships, causing serious damage to both steamers. "When the Republic became visible through the fog she was crossing the bow of the Florida from starboard to port and running at high speed. The' helm of the Florida was promptly put to starboard, hoping to swing the bow of the Italian steamer to starboard and to assist in averting the danger of a collision. The other steamer, however, was running so fast that the vessels collided. "The published statements that there was a misunderstanding of orders on the bridge of the Florida are not true. The orders given by the captain were prompt ly and properly executed. No criticism whatever Is made by the captain or any of the officers against any member of the crew of the Florida. The captain and officers are satisfied that every man did his duty. There is no foundation whatever for the story- that a member of the crew was struck or reprimanded by the captain. 1 i I'lHf, "After the coMision and after the Flor ida had ascertained the extent of her Injuries, the captain rendered such as sistance as lay in his power to the Re public and her passengers." One Survivor Dies Ashore. NEW TORK, Jan. 26. Eugene Lynch, of Boston, who was Injured In the col lision of the Republic and Florida, died today in the Long Island Hospital. The condition of Mrs. M. J. Vurphy, of Grand Forks, N! D., who was In jured In the collision, is said to be seri ous today. Booms Wireless Telegraph. LONDON, Jan.. 26. (Special.) Great ex pectations are entertained as to the de velopment of wireless telegraphy through the saving of the Republic's passengers. Hitherto wireless Instruments have been installed on few ships, and even theFe paid litrle for Iheir use. as the "wireless company stood most of the expense in the hope of so popularizing wireless te legraphy as eventually to compel all steamship companies to adopt the sys tem. The only ships on which wireless instruments are now compulsory are those carrying emigrants from Italy. Nearly everybody knows that Ivory Soap is the best of bath soaps.
