V ALETTA. Nov. 2S.-The British rs
sengr steamer Sardinia of the Kllerman
line was destroyed by- fire. Just outside o'
this port today and a total of Z3 persona
were either drowned or burned to death..
Seventy persons were reamed. The death
list include 110 Araba. five European pas
sengers and eighteen membera of the crew.
Moat of the people on board were pilgrims.
Assistance was hurried to the burning
vessel from all the warships In the har
bor and from aalvre, but the work of
rescue will bo greatly Impeded by the
heavy sea. The flames spread rapidly and
were fed by streams of naphtha from the
fnrehold. There was a condition of un
inntrollable panic on board and those who
did not Jump Into the sea were rcasted t
death. The vessel was finally driven
ashore on the Recasoll rocks, where Its
grounding was followed by a succession or
volcanic-like explosions, Indicating the ex
plosion of the naphtha st'-res in Its hold.
Fire Marts la Hold.
The Sardinia was scarcely a mile off
Grand Harbor when the first sign of fire ap
Ssrdinla waa scarcely a mile off Grand
Harbor when the first sign of firo ap
peared, but with a strong wind to fan
liie flames, the whole ship was soon ablaze
mid the passengers and crew had scarcely
a chance for their Uvea. There was a wild
scene of panic on board as the rapidly
spreading flames drove the passengers to
the rails, and many of Ilia excited ones,
nut even waiting for the boats to be low
ered, plunged Into the sea. Scores are be
lieved to have been drowned. Others, caught
by the fire, were literally roasted to death
or smothered without a chance for dife.
There were many craft In the harbor at
the Urn of the disaster and several tugs
and other swift, small vsssels rushed to
the assistance of the imperilled liner. The
high sea and half a gale which prevailed
(it the time, however, made it Impossible
for them to approach the Sardinia, and
they could do I It In in tho way of aid.
The Sardinia left Liverpool, November
II, with a cargo of general merchandise
for Mediterranean ports. Her crew num
bered forty-four, and about twenty first
iu3 and, six. nwtHwt Isi passengers em
barked at Liverpool.'' :" """
Moat of tier other passengers undoubtedly
were LevunMncs, Maltese and Egyptians.
Many of these people cross on the stcam
k crs of this l'ne from Malta to Alexandria
it la thelp custom to pitch their tents on
ducks for shelter . during the four days'
trip. The decks are cluttered and this
condition undoubtedly made the orderly
clearing of the ship difficult.
I'p to 3 o'clock this afternoon fifty bodies
from the Sardinia had been brought ashore.
Many of these persons evidently had
come to their end from drowning, though
some had been burned to death.
The flames originated In the forehold.
A quantity of naptha was stored here and
II fed the conflagration to auch an extent
that It toon became Impossible to save the
essel.
From the beginning the captain and crew
i.uck nobly to their pots. -rhey served ojt
lift In is and did everything possible to help
tae panlc-stKckcn passengers, most of
whom were Arab pilgrims. There were only
eleven Europeans on board the Sardinia out
i.f a total passenger list of 151.

ARCHBOLD CONTINUES STORY
Saya He Once fcold Oil Trust Shares at
MO Cent Hecauae Fear Supply
Wad Falling;.
NEW YORK. Nov. 25. Detailed Informa
tion of the magnitude and diversity of the
Standard Oil company's business waa given
by John I). Archbold, vice president of
the company, on the resumption of his tes
I timony today -in the hearing of the federal
! suit to dissolve the oil combination,
Mr. Archbold asserted that it was the
' Standard which, by eliminating the Jobbers
and retailers, stepped In and greatly re-
duced the price of oil to the consumer.
The hearings were adjourned today after
a brief Bession until next Monday, when
Mr. Archbold will resume his testimony.
That even those' closely Identified with
the Standard In lis early days did not
recognize its future possibilities was
brought out today when Mr. Archbold said
that In the 'St's fears were widespread
that the supply of crude oil would be de
pleted and thai accordingly he parted with
some of his trust shares at To and 8u cents
on the dollar.
Much of the day was spent In spreading
upon the records figures showing the pro
duction and consumption of otl in 182 and
the present time,
Mr. Archbold said he did not think
much of the possibilities of til a mldcon
tlnent oil fields when th -y were dis
covered and caus.-d a laugh when he re
called that at the time he said he "would
undertake to drink ail the oil they pro
duced." These oil fields produced 70,G0 bar
relat each day, and Mr. Archbold ald lie
waa mistaken In his early Judgment.
Mr. Archbold s testimony will probably
occupy several days and counsel for the
defense probably will place William rtock

such occasions, will be present this time

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
CARNEGIE WILL NOT APPEAR
Says He Already is on Record on the
Tariff.
GREAT FAITH IN PROTECTION
Sorest Way to Secure It I to Iteduee
tho Protective Datlrs and
Then Finally Abolish
Them.
WASHINGTON, Nov. :3.-Sereno Tayne, i
chairman of the house ways and means
committee, today received a reply to the
Invitation which waa extended to Andrew
Carnegie to appear before the committee
at the tariff hearing onfthe metal schedule.
Mr. Carnegie thanks Mt. Pnyne for his in
vitation, but asks to be, excused from ap
pearing before the committee, saying that
he has served hla full term In Washington
upon tariff matters.
"I am no longer in business, and in my
Century article," reads the letter, "com
panion to that of 'My Experience with Rail
way Rates and Rebates,' I have said all
that I have to say upon the subject. Manu
facturers will appear before jou from whom
you esn-tibtaln the rec(i,a fieta.Ha."
Mr. Carnegie rays thst Judging from the
comments upon IiIb article by various dis
tinguished gentlemen in Washington, aa
published in a New York paper, he feels
that they have not read the artlc'e itself,
but only a few striking extracts separated
from the context.
"When you read It." he continues, "you
will discover that my faith In protection
wherever it la proved to be necessary, is
as strong as ever and that I continue also
to believe that the surest way to secure
needed protection is to reduce protective
duties from time to time and flnaily aboish
them when no longer needed.
Pursuing this policy our party has al
ready reduced duty on steel rails from $28
to 7 and other duties in greater or less
degree."
"The McKlnley tariff, which made great
reductions, is a case in point. It would
prove fa! bo In Its history and its pledges
If It failed now.
Democrats Aided Protection.
"In the most critical times tho "protec
tive policy received lndlspenslble aid from
patriotic democrats in congress, as I have
shown. This Is as It should be. Duties
on imports should cease to be a party
question. Only what is best for our com
mon country should be thought of.
"I attach supremo Importance to the
maintenance of present duties upon luxuries
used chiefly by the rich, not from the
protective, but from the revenue point of
view. Ppeclal attention la required to
the revenue needs of the country these
days to meet increased ependlture and so
far as I know, none can be obtained with
so little pressure upon tho people aa the
two hundred odd millions now flowing
Into the treasury from such articles. Yours,
a true protectionist,
"ANDREW CARNEGIE."
When the hearing on the metal schedule
of the tariff waa begun, cine was first
taken up. 3. D. Mitchell of Carthage,
Mo., and Alexander O. Ihlsing of Oronga,
Mo., asked that calamine or zinc oxide
be removed from the free list and assessed
a duty of 1V& cents a pound.
Representative Boutell brought out the
admission that the prices on zinc ore and
sheet and pig lead would be increased if
the duty should be imposed.
Democrats Take Hand.
"Don't you think that If thp tariff Is to
be lowered to equalize the difference In
cost of labor that labir should receive
all the benefits from the tariff?" asked
Representative Champ Clark of Missouri,
who Is the first member of the committee
who has not argued for the requests of
the interests from lis own stat? when
those requesls were for protection.
Bourke Cockrin of New Yolk was en
deavoring to show that the pntection
asked was much more than was required
to equalize labor lost in thin country and

places they entirely encircle towns where
If the system was readjusted so that mall
would be carried from the nearest town to
patrons a saving of seme carriers could
be made. The senator said, in speaking of
tho matter today, that the routes had
usually been laid out In the beginning upon
the petition of patrons, but this petition
was generally circulated by the postmasters
or others Interested in a route from som
particular U-wn and the most enterprising
postmaster of course got the routes. The
senator further said that the department
was not to blame for this condition, be
cause the petitions had been so many and
they had been so rushed In laying out
routes In the beginning that they had not
had time to Investigate the economic side
of it. But now. after the routes are estab
lished, he thinks a legitimate readjustment
could bo made looking to the matter of
economy. He said that if the number of
carrier j could not be cut down they could
probably be readjusted so that the same
number of carriers would serve a gr?at
many more people and serve them better,
and thus obviate the necessity of appoint
ing additional carriers as time goes on.

Now it is reported the odds are even that
Governor Sheldon will have all his time
occupied between now and January 7 with
the extra session deliberation, the appoint
ment of four supreme Judges and the writ
ing of his message and therefore many dem
ocrats are gazing around in the direction
of these places.
Hut the fact that Governor Sheldon has
not acted on these matters should not be
charged solely to him, but to the many
hundreds of advisers who have bron telling
him who should get the plums. From June
to January is & mighty short time, it has
been proven, for a governor to attend to
the routine work of his office, go through
two campaigns and be half ny civil to a
constant stream of callers. And besides the
longer the governor delays the more Cillers
he has. Incidentally the governor has sev
eral mors appointments to make, but tlnsi
have not yet been figured- up by his office
force.
Shallenberser Bnlka.
The report has reached the state house
that Walter Moise and Harry Hayward
arc having trouble delivering the goods
they promised before the recent election.
Governor-Elect Shailenberger, It is re
ported, has balked.
At the klckoff Molse and Hayward at
tempted to. land Meyer Klein, a liquor
dealer of Omaha, on the new governor's
strifC. This was to be his reward for sup
porting the democratic ticket. When the
electUn returns were officially apnounced
would be colonel Klein, tt was reported,
went down to ord.r his uniform, and
stopped on the way to get his commission
from Molse. Moire in the meantime, so
reliable reports say, had communicated
with Shailenberger and had been stung.
So Near-Colonel Klein will always be tint.
Governor-Elect flhallenberscr not only
turned down Molse's request for the Klein
commission, but, it is said, he also In
formed Mr. Moise that he did not intend
to appoint any liquor dealer or saloon
keeper to any Job.
What effect this will have on the three
saloonkeepers who want to be deputy game
wardens cannot be foretold, but It takes
a very ordinary Imagination to depict what
the saloonmen are saying on the quiet.
His; Poultry Show.
Representative-Elect Dan Killen of Gige
county was here from Adams last nlqht
telling about a big poultry show they art
having ln his town, at which the be3t
chickens In the world are being shown.
The poultry rhow Is being given by the
Nemaha Valley Poultry association.
Trouble for Capitol Custodians.
What to do with four supreme JuJges to
be appointed Is now worrying the Board of
Public Lands and Buildings. The law re
quires that all of the supreme Judges must
live In Lincoln. The appointment of four
' new Judges makes five new offices which
will have to be provided in the state house.
At present only two of the Judges live In
Lincoln and office in the capltol, but when
Chief Justice Barnes and the other four
move to Lincoln they each will have to
be provided for.
At this time every office In the state
house is occupied and the bakement Is about

commissioner and the labor bureau. They
will, with the probable exception of the
labor bureau, which piay not be moved out,
be taken care of In other offices. That still
leaves no room for the supreme Judges.

for its hearings. The commlMion lias I's
