DEATH LIST LARGER
Practically All on Board the
Valencia Went Down
SCENES WERE HEARTBREAKING
Thrilling Stories of the Sea. Tragedy
On The Rocks Near Cape Bealo On
Monday.
\ ietoria, B. C., Special.-?The fatal
wreck of the steamer Valencia, which
recurred on the ruel<s of Cape Bealc
la.-t week was one ot' the most tragic
ror of a few years ago.
A vague hope was entertained that
tome of the passengers and crew who
wore not taken off may slill he alive,
it is feared that the death list
will reach 110. Twenty-two survivors
have been aceounted for.
A special dispatch received front
I'aelicua telegraph hut reports the
teailiter Salvor and whaler Orion and
mother steamer, believed to he the
City of Topeka. olT the mouth of
Darling river. A stnull ls?at from the
Salvor tried to get through the surf
> make a landingg and stteor the sttrvivors
there, hut failed. The boat
returned to the steamer. The surf
will not be navigable for several days.
The survivors at Darling river are
from boats No. 2 and No. ."? of the
Valencia. They rejiovt that lf> men
started from the steamer in boat No.
2. it capsized, and seven id' its oc tipants
were washed ashore. The

Boat No. ."? left I he wreck

( artj' of British bluejackets from
Ksquinialt, who wont in surt'boats to
>ee if any possible survivors could
!>? rescued and recover what they
could reach.
In an interview at BaiuHeld Creek
Boatswain McCarthy told a story of
the Valencia wreck. He said the
?iearner had been going by dead reek
niiig and overran her distance,
soundings had been made three and
four times ati hour. The steamer
-truck at I t :45 1*. M., Monday night,
about amidships, the tirst ottieer,
I'lartermaster and a seaman engaged
i.t sounding having 10 miuutes beI
?re got 30 fathoms.
Shortly before the steamer stntek
-he was going at half speed. Captain
.Johnson immediately shouted,
Hard a-starbourd !'' to the quartermaster
and gave orders to sound the
bilges, which was done. The steam r
did not seem to be making much
water. The captain then called to
the engineer and asked it' the stenni r
was making much water. Before
the odicer's reply tlreinen began clanibering
up from the tire room, telling
the engineers on the ?ompanionwav
she was tiling up. Captain Johnson
rang for full speed astern and mndo
t<?r the beach. The propeller had
made only a few revolutions when
the vessel struck and listed to port.
Captain Johnson was on the bridge
when the vessel struck, with the seeon!
otlieer. He ran down and gave
nlers to have two of the seven boats
lowered to the saloon deck rail. In-lantly
the pas.-engers crowded l<? the
rail and overcrowded the boats. Baring
the excitement they cut whatever
lines they could lay hands on. The
lavits broke about the same time tlie
liues were cut, mul bolli boats were
smashed at the sides of the vessel,
throwing out the passengers and
crew in them. The crew threw lines
>ut and succeeded in getting about
->-ix passengers thrown out of the
boats on board again. The boats
when lost were mostly filled with wo{
men and children.
Life Raft Crushed.
One very sad incident was witnessed.
A lady and gentleman with
a little girl tried to get into a boat.
The father succeeded and the mother
men 10 pass tut* euiut, nut a wave
struck'her and washed the child from
her arms. The child was lost before
her eyes. One lift raft was also
lowered, but it was dashed to pieces.
After this four boats succeeded in
gettin# away from the ship, all full
of passenger^. This left one boat
and two life rafts. The captain, after
consulting with the mate, askod
Boatswain McCarthy to take charge,
which he did, and called for volunteers,
and the five sailors who reached
*bore in safety responded. The cap
tain instricled then to pull along
the beach and line) a place to jet
ashore. They landed at 1:10 P. M.,
Tuesday and made Capo Bei le at
3 P. M. Before making1 Cape Beale
they tried to get back to tile vessel
by the beach, but could not do so.
During the excitement Captain .Tobnson
was cool and calm hud ail the
crew were at their stations. Tiic rescued
sailors cannot give the lighthouse
keeper at eBale too much
credit for the maimer in which they
were treated.

CONGRESS AT WORK
What Our National Law Makers Arc
Doing Day by Day?
atavehood Bill Passed.
The House passed Hie statehood bill
exactly according to schedule. The Republican
opposition to the measure
spent its entire force and 110 effort
was made to defeat the hill on its
filial passage, only of the "insurgents"
voting against the measure.
The bill passed by a vote of 104 to
150.
The debate which preceded the vote
began at 11 o'clock and was practically
featureless so far as any hope
was entertained ot' changing the measure
in the slightest degree. The nbvocates
of the measure placed in The
Record through the medium of several
speeches, the arguments upon which
the joint statehood policy is founded.
1 ;i.?,*k~ *--* "
Wat.. , im; opponents or joining
Arizona and New Mexico, embracing
the entii*e opposition to the bill, produced
their reasons for The Record*
Several of the "insurgents" made
plain the ground of their opposition.
The bill as passed provides that
Oklahoma and Indian Territory shall
constitute one State under the nam
of "Oklahoma." and that Arizona
and New Mexico shall constitute one
State under the name of "Arizona."
Should the terms of admission be ratified
by the residents of the Territories
in question, their respective State
constitutions must contain clauses
prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors to Indians and plural marriages.
There are many other stipulations
governing schools, courts and political
sub-divisions of the proposed new
States.

island. IIo also look tlio position that
the President had transcended his
authority there.
Mr. Mone}' contended that the President
had made one explanation and
his friends another of our attitude towards
Santo Domiugo. Mr. Money
declared that he felt no concern about
Santo Domingo. "As Senator of the ?
United States, I don't care a continental
about it," he said, emphatically.
Mr. Money agreed with Mr.
Lodge that the annexation of Santo
Domingo was undesirable, and declared
that "if to-day the United States
would relieve herself of every island
of the sea the country would be iai'
measurably stronger." He added that
if we continue our oolioy of taking
inferior people the nation must sinlc
of its own weight unless we changed
our form of government.
Mr. Hepburn followed Mr. Money,
advocating the annexation of Santo
Domingo, saying that the present
population would soon become Americanized
under the rule of the United
States.
Mr. Tillman suggested that as th?
President of Santo Domingo is aJ
present within our islands we should
proceed to negotiate with him, and
thus very easily add to our colored
population if ''gluttonous for more
of them."
Mr. Hepburn replied that if his
ideas should prevail, the colored jx?ople
of the island would he supplanted
bv whites.
"I wish," replied the South Carolina
Senator, "that the Senator would
he more consistent with reference to
the colored race and that he would not
be so kind to those near us and so
cruel tothose abroad.
Decide for Lock Canal.
j Washington, Special.?TUp Isthmian
Canal commission met Saturday
anil concluded its consideration of
the report of the board of consulting
engineers with respect to the type of
canal that should he constructed.
While no official announcement is
made with reference to the commission's
report, there is good reason to
believe that they have recommended
the construction of a lock canal wit^i
an S.">-foot level, practically following
the recommendations of the minority
of the consulting engineers.
