TAFT WILL VETO BILL
NOT GENUINE REVISION
By JAMES HAY. II.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Nov. 25.-Presi-
dent-elect Tafrs answer to the charge
Of interference with the legislative
branch Of the Government will be that
the Constitution vests the President with
the power of veto, and that # a tarin
bill passes which does not in spirit. as
well as letter. carry out the Republican
party's pledge Of genuine revision
downward in essentials, he will veto the
bill.
This is the latest In Mr.. Taft's
struggle to assure the sincerity of the
party's performance of its platform
pledges. Chairman Hitchcock, of the
national committee, came here today for
a two days conference with Mr.. Tart.
1t Is well understood here that Mr..
Hitchcock does not regard it as by any
means impossible to force the selection
of a Speaker in sympathy with the in
coming Administration.
1t is reported from Cannon authorities
that the responses to Congressman
Nann's letter asking pledges to Cannon
have been disappointing. Mr.. Taft pro-
poses nothing less than an official
tariff commission, which he Will employ
to advise him about the merits and the
genuineness Of any revision nill which
passes. The advice Of this commission
together with his own views of the
measure viii determine whether he shah

same position that Mr.. Cleveland occu-

Branding it as perfidy and dishonor

Taft is determined not to sign anv
measure, to which such a characterize

upon Congress.
It IS calculated here that this attitude

BIG LINER BURNS,
MANY LIVES LOST
Fire Discovered in Steamer
Sardinia Just at Har-
boris Mouth.

MALTA. Nov. 25.-Many lives, the
lmber of which can NOT be ascertained
for several hours. were lost when the
Papayanni- -Euerman liner Sardinia was
destroyed by FIRE outside of this harbor
today. The steamer. which plies be-
tween Liverpool. Malta, and Alexandria
had on board some 30 passengers. TWEEN
ty-fiYe or thirty of whom were English,
and carried a crew Of forty-four. Many
Of the passengers are missing, and sew
sral OF them are undoubtedly penned in
the smoking hull which lies on the shore
OF the harbOr entrance. while others
were drOwne1 when they jumped over
board to escape the flames which envel-
oped the vessel.
The Sardinia left Malta early today
for Alexandria, carrying In addition to
the passengers and crew, a large cargo
OF merchandise She had hardly cleared
the harbor entrance when smoke was
observed issuing from the cargo hold.
The crew were summoned TO fire quar-
ters and a detachment sent below. A.
most before they had disappeared bslovy
decks the forward hatch seemed to ex-
plodei and IN an instant the vessel was
aDlaze from stern TO stem.
Panic Follows.
A frightful panic followed among tbe
passengers who had been LEFT 70 them
selves while the crew was fighting the
names. Men, women, and children ran
franucalIy to the stern Of the boat. the
only place where there was seeming
reIuge from the fire. But a strong wind
was blowing and famed by il. the
blaze swept out across the helpless peo-
pie, seorching them where they stood.
Immediately many began TO jump into
the sea without trying to secure life
preservers, and It is feared most Of
these were lost, although a few were
later landed from salvage steamers.
The plight OF the Sardinia had been
noticed from the shore and ali Of the
admiralty tugs that were In the harbOr
hurried TO the scene. Owing to the gale
which famed the fire they could not
approach very close, but finally lines
were run out and the Sardinia towed
to the shore.
Hopeless Fight.
She was beached as quickly as posi-
ble and every effort was then made
to eXtinguish the IRE. This was i'm
possible owing to the elements and the
infiammable nature Of the cargo, which
was now completely ignIted. The mar
Dor tugs were directed 10 stand By and
search the ruins as soon as they could
be cooled. while other tugs were &c
tailed to cruise bout IN the hope that
some Of the survivors might suu be
