By Associated Press.
EmyrnSL, April 80.--The steamer
Texas, belonging to the Archipelago
American Steamship Company, struck
a mine at the entrance to the Gulf of
Smyrna last evening and sank. One
hundred and forty persons were on
board. ,
The Texas was flying the Turkish
flag and was engaged in carrying mails
from Constantinople to the Levant.
It was first stated that the Texas
was an American 'vessel, the error
arising from the fact that she is part
of the fleet of a local concern trading
tinder the name of theArchaepelago
American Steamship Company.
The Gulf of Smyrna is one of the
finest harbors in the Mediterranean,
and Smyrna itself is the principal sea
port of Asiatic Turkey. The entrance
to the gulf was mined by Turkish au
thorities to protect the port against un
attack by the Italian fleet.
The Texas was a vessel of 2601 net

petition are ret unable on May 6. The
government chaiges the company with
monopolizing the manufacture and sale
of harvesting machinery, advancing
prices to the injury of farmers and
the public, and that the company con
trols ninety er cent of the trade in
the United States, and has resorted to
unfair methods by attempting to in

The bill contains ? these charges:'
Defendants have resorted to unfair

rival machines or concerning the credit
of ecropotlters; or ihe purpose, of de
callties below cost of production an-J

1902. Prior to that time, the govern

other. The alleged trust was formed
through the combination of tho Mc
