TELLS
OF GREAT BUSINESS
REcITEs HOW STANDARD RE-
DUcED PRICE OF OIL
TO CONSUMERS.

New York, Nov. 26.-Detailed infor-
nation on the magnitude and diversity
of the business of Standard Oil
was given by John D. Archbold, vice
president of the company, on resump-
ton of his testimony yesterday in the
hearing of the federal suit to dissolve
the oil combination. Mr.. Archbold
asserted that it was the Standard
which, by eliminating jobbers and re-
tailers, stepped in and greatly reduced
the price of oil to consumers.
That even those closely identified
with the Standard in its early days
did not recognize it's future possibil-
tiles, was brought out when Archbold
said that in the eighties fears were
widespread that the supply of crude
oil would be depleted, and that ac-
cordingly he parted with some of his
trust shares at 20 and SO cents on the
dollar. Much time was spent in
spreading upon the record the figures
showing the production and consump-
ton of oil between 1882 and the pres
ent time.
Archbold did not think much of the
possibilities Of the mid-eontinent oil
fields when they were discovered, and
caused laugh when he recalled that

STEEL CAN STAND
REDUCED TARIFF
SUCH Is DECLARATION OF MAN
uFAcTuRERs BEFORE WAYS
AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
ONE PRODUCER SAYS HE is
GETTING TOO MUCH
PROTECTION.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Andrew
Carnegie, his wealth, his views on
the steel tariff and his claim that it
costs less to produce steel in this
country than abroad, offered a fertile
field for the interrogations of the
ways and means committee of the
house yesterday. The tariff inquiry
on the metal schedules produced sew
eral surprises, not the least of which
was the voluntary declaration by sew
eral manufacturers of iron and steel
products that their industry could
stand a reduction in duty.
The steel rail men disagreed en-
tirely with Mr. Carnegie's views as
expressed in his recent magazine ar.
ticle favoring a reduction in rates.
Unanimously they claimed that Car
negie had been out of the steel bust
ness so long that his testimony was
not valuable.
Mr.. Carnegies letter to Chairman
Payne, in which he declined an invi-
tation to appear before the commit
tee caused general disappointment
The democratic members and Repre-
sentative Boutell of the republican
side of the committee, did most OF
the questioning yesterday. Iron, steel
zinc and the manufacture of these
metals were taken up.
J. A. Campbell, manufacturer OF
wrought iron pipe, has the distinc
ton of being the first manufactures
to tell the committee voluntarily thai
he is getting too much protection
from the tariff He said the duty on
lap welded and butt welded tube is
prohibitive and can be reduced one
half and yet give ample protection
He also volunteered the information
that the manufacturers could stand a
reduction of 20 cents ton in the
duty on round iron wire. He claimed
the present rate on steel nails is
necessary.

AWFUL FATALITY
WHEN SHIP BURNS
SARDINIA ABLAZE JUST AFTER
LEAVING THE HARBoR
FOR EGYPT.
HIGH SEAS PREVENT RESCUE
MANY PASSENGERS PLUNGE
INTO WATERS.

Valette, Island OF Matin, Nov. 81
Nearly 200 persons-passenge and
crew of the Ellerman line steamship
Sardinia, are believed to have per-
ished when the steamer was de-
stroyed by fire just after she had
sailed for Alexandria, Egypt
The Sardinia was scarcely a mile
off Grand Harbor, when the first sign
of fire appeared, but with a strong
wind to fan the flames the whole
ship was soon ablaze and the passen-
gers and crew had scarcely chance
for their lives.
Up to a late hour yesterday after
noon the bodies of fifty victims of
the disaster had been recovered
Many of these persons evidently had
come to their end from drowning,
though some had been burned to
death.
The flames apparently originated
IN the forehold. A quantity of naptha
was stored here, and it fed the con-
flagration to such an extent that it
soon became impossible to save the
vessel.
From the beginning the captain
and the crew stuck nobly to their
posts They served out life belts
and did everything possible to help
the panic-stricken passengers, most
of whom were Arab pilgrims.
There was a wild scene of panic
on board as the rapidly spreading
flames drove the passengers to the
rails, and many of the excited ones,
not even waiting for the boats to be
lowered, plunged into the sea. Scores
are believed to have been drowned.
Others, trapped by the fire, were lit
orally roasted to death or smothered
without a chance for life.
There were many craft in the har-
Dor at the time of the disaster and
several tugs and other swift small
vessels rushed to the assistance OF
the imperiled liner The high sea
and half a gale which prevailed at
the time. however, made it impossible
for them even to approach the Sar-
DINA. and they could do little in the
way of aid.
The vessel carried crew of "A

fire by some unknown means at the
entrance to this port and within d
few minutes was a roaring furnace.
So rapidly did the fire spread thai
the frantic efforts of the crew to op-
crate the fire apparatus proved use
less. for it seemed but a moment be-
fore the upper works and masts
crashed down upon the deck. while
the ships boats were crushed by the
falling debris or set on fire and quick
" burned. Many aboard jumped over
board and were rescued, while large
number of others were drowned
Scores too terrified to jump, persisted
in the flames.

MEET AFTER 4e YEARS.
Brother and Sister United After Al

Chicago, Nov. 26-After a separa-
ton of 48 years, w. w MCGOWAN of
lrontOn, Mich, met his sister, Mrs.
John j. Donaldson, of New York in the
lobby of the Auditorium annex hotel
last night. Each had thought the
other dead. MCGOWAN enlisted in the
civil war in 1860 and was captured
and placed in Libby prison. Afterward
he skipped to South America When
he returned his family had scattered,
supposing him dead. Recently Mrs.
Donaldson returned from Europe and
hearing that her brother was still liv-
ing, she arranged by telegraph to
meet him here. MCGOWAN arrived
shortly before his sister. Fearing he
would be unable to recognize her he
asked a clerk to point her out when
she arrived. The meeting followed a
short time later
