d-cision was announced by Secretary of

In effect the extradition was refused be

the general prohibition against extradition
treaty with Russia, which declares that If

the views taken by the department,
though the Commissioner upheld the Rus

Mr. Root declined to comment on the
decision pending formal notification to
the Russian authorities of the depart

among the anti-Russian element, where a
fund was raised In defense of the man.

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.
