STEAMER SINKS; ALL SAVED.
Empress Of China Strikes Submerged
Rock OFF Ava Peninsula,

Toxic, July 2S.-Groping in IL fog and
rough sea the steamer Empress of
China of the Canadian Pacific line.
struck a submerged rock and was
wrecked while attempting to round the
southern point of Ava peninsula. All
Of the 1S5 pas sengerS We're safely taken
off by Japanese war ships.
The bottom of the liner was badly
damaged, and. while it is barely pos
sible that she may be saved, 1t will re-
quire three months to repair her. Ad-
vices to local agents Of the line say
that the ship will be fioated.
Immediately upon receipt Of the
news OF the wreck the minister of
marines sent the cruisers Aso and Soya
Of the Japanese training squadron to
aid the wrecked steamer The mails
and baggage We're taken off by the
cruisers. which also aided in taking the
passengers and crew to the mainland.
Temples which in former years were
sacred from the intrusion Of foreigners
and from which. up to recent years,
the people Of other countries were rig
idly excluded, were thrown open to the
passengers as temporary shelter.
Schoolhouses in the vicinity We're also
offered. After 81 short rest in these
houses Of refuge the passengers came
by train to this city.
The steamer struck at a point forty
miles south of Toxic and near No Jina
Saki lighthouse, which is close to the
scene of the wreck of the Great North
ern steamship Dakota in the spring OF
1907. For a mile along this coast there
is a dangerous ledge OF submerged
rocks. Strong and treacherous cur
rents sweep the shore. and the point
is noted as an ocean graveyard where
many vessels have been buried.
Reports Indicate that the Empress
Of China. which is the record boat In
the service between Vancouver. e. c.,
and the Orient and sister of the five
other Empress boats of the same line
ran aground probably from a common
mistake of taking the Sumaski light
house for that Of Jogashuma. which
has before caused mariners to deviate
from their proper course.

URGE TAFT TO VETO
Standpat Congressman Assure Presi-
dent That His Veto to Any Woolen
Schedule Passed by Congress Would
Not Injure Him PoIiticaly-com-
promise Bill Received in House With
Applause.

Washington, July 2S.-President Taft
today was urged by several standpat
republican leaders Of the senate and
house to veto any wool revision bill that
forthcoming conference on the house
and LaFollette compromise woolen
measure.
Senator Crane, of Massachusetts,
Representative Weaks, Of that state,
and Representative Bartholdt, Of Mis-
souri,, were among the men who gave
this advice to the president.
It was their belief they said that Mr..
Taft could not injure himself in the
eyes Of the country by vetoing a wool
revision bill not passed upon scientific
data furnished by the tariff board
The congressman advanced the idea
that the senate coalition of insurgents
and democrats was an attempt to put
the president Sin a hole" politically.
Executive disapproval of the meas
ure designed for such a purpose they
told the president, could not work to
his discredit
While the president himself main
tains silence as to what course he will
pursue If a wool revision bill Is pre-
sented to him, the intimations are
stronger today that he Will not hesitate
to use the veto.
Amid appla,-S- loday tie house re-
ceived the new compromise bill from
the senate. No action was taken, the
bill being laid on the speakers desk,
and the cotton tariff revision debate
proceeded with.

New York, July 2S.-The first formal
action in the way Of readjusting the
business of the American Tobacco
Company in conformity with the de-
cision of the United States supreme
court was taken yesterday in the ap-
pointment Of committees to represent
the holders of the senior securities and
cooperate with the management in
the work Of reorganization.
1t may be assumed from the appoint
ment of the committees that the COM
pany has a readjustment plan well un-
der way. At any rate the managers Of
the company, the leading security
holders their bankers, and their law
yers have been at work on measures
Of compliance with the courts decision
since the decision was made on May
20.
The company has until Dec 90 to re-
adjust or dissolve it's business In ac-
cordance with the decision, but, of
course. it's officers and security hold
ers began the work of readjustment
Immediately upon hearing the courts
decision.

The securities are widely distributed
and of the entire capitalization of the
company a greater portion is held by
small investors in foreign countries
At the head of the 6 per cent bond
holders committee is Alexander j.
Hemphill, president Of the Guaranty
Trust Company, the largest in the
country. His associates are T. De Witt
Cuyler OF the Pennsylvania and New
Haven, Howland Davis a New York
banker; ]. Horace Harding of c. D.
Barney & Co., and Albert H. Wiggin,
president of the Chase National bank
Charles H. Sabin. vice president Of

chairman of the per cent bondhold-
ers' committee, and there are asso-
ciated with him Philip Lehman Of the
banking house Of Lehman Bros; J. r.
McAllister Of the Franklin National
Bank OF Philadelphia. Samuel McRob-
erts. vice president Of the National
City Bank. and Samuel Sloan of the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company.

No member of these committees was

be ascertained from the records of Sc
curity holdings has any considerable
direct financial interest in the read
justment. Practically all of them are
bankers, whose interest is to see q
liberal and rapid compliance with the
decision Of the supreme court and an
equitable arrangement among the Sc
