THEVAIINCIA WRECK SERIOUS CHARGES HADE BY THE SURVIVOR* OF DISASTER. Lost Party of Nine Rescued While on a Mountainous Trail—F. F. Bunker Tells of Terrible Experience of the Shipwrecked Victims—Calls Atten tion to Many Faults. Victoria, B. C—All the survivors who reached shore near the scene of the wrock have now been cared for, the last party of nine, who had been stalled at Darling river on account of the flooded waters, have reached the steamer Salvor at Bamfleld creek. They were in a bad condition. Great credit is due to the party from the Salvor, headed by Captain Ferris, who traveled an almost impassable trail for 15 miles. After a night spent on the trail they started for home with the survivors. Before returning Cap tain Ferris visited the wreck. He reports the beach literally covered with wreckage, and at that time five bodies were on shore being identified. They found F. F. Bunker, assistant superintendent of schools of Seattle, and F. Marshall on the beach in a bad condition, the latter having walked the whole way suffering from a sprain ed ankle and experiencing severe pain. The remainder of the party had taken to the trail. Hunker had lost his coat and shirt and was wearing a blanket with arm holes cut in it. Marshall's ankle was in a bad condition. The two men were taken to a telegraph hut at Pachena and given food. Soon afterwards, while these two were being cared lor, the rescue party arrived with the oth er survivors. All were completely fa tigued. The entire party was equip ped with shoes, those who had been without having been supplied with shoes taken from the corpses washed ashore. The survivors are loud in their praise of the rescue party txnra the Salvor. The trail is in a frigtu i condition and travel is most difficult. Brave Cable Operators. Messrs. Richmond, Mousely and Mc- Wha, cable operators, were the first to reach the survivors. The telegraph men were completely worn out, having swam several streams, but it would have been impossible for them to bring in the survivors without the assistance from the Salvor's party. The survivors who were picked up by the Salvor at Touquart, the men found on Turtle island, and those brought in by the rescue party have been re moved on board the United States revenue cutter Grant, with the excep tion of two, who are too ill to be transferred. The bodies secured the Salvor have also been removed to the revenue cutter. The Grant has gone to Seattle. , Crew Lacked Discipline. F. F. Bunker said there was evident lack of among the crew, and this'fact is corroborated by other passengers. A messboy cursed an of ficer to his face for not giving proper orders. Mr. Bunker said boat No. 2 was sent through the surf with more than 20 passengers in it and only sev en got ashore after it capsized. He got in the next boat lowered, with his wife and two children. This boat was sent out without officers or sea men. The boat capsized and he tried to crawl back. As he did so the boat righted and nearly filled. He got in and his wife was clinging to the side of the boat. The girl was gone and tlu> boy was limp. He tried to restore the boy to life and the little fellow recovered consciousness and began to cry and call "Papa." His wife said she could not hold on longer. He kissed her goodby. Just then the boat again capsized. He told his wife to hold on, and took fcer with one arm and the child with the other, but something struck him on the head and he lost them. He was swept in and out three times by the breakers, but finally managed to clutch the rocks and hold fast. He waited on the rocks after climb ing out of the water until morning, and then he climbed up the bluff and found a trail to a hut, which he reach ed after great hardship, having to swim a river to gain the hut. In the hut he found some moldy beans and a telephone receiver. During the next two days the sufferings of himself and other survivors who had joined him were terrible, but help arrived from the cable station at Bamfleld, then a party from Clo-Oose, then those from the Salvor. Why These Serious Faults? Mr. Bunker says that in his opinion there are several questions that re quire answering in connection with the disaster, as follows: "Why were boatloads of passengers loaded into the water without crews to man or officers to command? "Why was there no discipline among officers and men? "Why were the plugs for the bot tom of the boats not made to fit? "Why was it impossible for the pas sengers to make pins for the row locks to fit? "Why were the life preservers made of reeds and not of cork?" Mr. Bunker opened 50 of these life preservers which floated into the rocks near where he was. and found them all the same. He also asks: "Why did six members of the crew land near Cape Beale in one of the .(ship's boats without passengers? 11 "Why did the Queen and two tugs I which stood near the wreck on Wednesday leave her to her fate?" One hour after they left the wreck, he said, the remains of the steamer collapsed and more than 50 persons floated to sea, with no one to pick them up. Alfred Willis Makes Charges. Alfred Willis of Spokane, an ordi nary seaman of the United States ship Pensacola, aged 16, was one of the survivors and tells a story of hard ship that makes the blood curdle. He was In the second boat, and when it was launched found that the plugs would not fit. He could find no other plug and used his hand as a plug to prevent the boat from filling and sinking. The boat was washed through the surf and was capsized. He was washed to the shore and drawn out three times by the uadertow, but fin ally caught his pants on a piece of jagged rock and held. He is in very bad shape, but came over the trail in fine style. No better example of discipline was ever shown than when Willis arrived at Pachena bay and saw Lieutenant Colville of the United States ship Grant. Recognizing his superior offi cer, he calmly saluted, and said: "Lieutenant, I report, sir. It was, Indeed it was, a pitiful scene." He is loud in his praise for Mr. Bunker, who kept the party of survivors in good spi.its, and also to the rescue party from the Salvor, to whom he gives the credit of saving his life. He is most emphatic in condemning the officers and equipment of the life boats, in number two boat there was no one who understood its manage ment, and it was steered by a fire man. The wooden oarlocks broke at the first stroke of the oars. KING OF DENMARK DIEDjiUDDENLY Copenhagen, Denmark, Jan. 30.— Christian, the ninth, the aged king of Denmark, dean of the crowned heads of Europe, father of King George of Greese, of Queen Alexandria of Europe Great Britain and Ireland, and of the dowager empress Maria Feodorona of Russia, grandfather of King Haakon, the seventh, of Norway, and related by blood or by marriage to most of the European rulers, died with startling suddenness in the Amalienborg palace Monday evening. The successor to the throne, Prince Ferdinand, his eldest son, who will be known as Frederick the eighth, wa3 proclaimed Tuesday. The following is the official bulletin announcing his death: "His majesty died at 3:80 p. m. Af ter his majesty had brought Monday morning's audience to a close he ap peared to be quite well, and proceeded to luncheon as usual. Toward the end of the morning he gave evidence of in disposition and was compelled to re tirejto bed at 23:0 p. m. His majesty passed away peacefully the symptoms indicating heart failure." This bulletin tells concisely the story of the death scene, which found every one, even those who realized the in creasing feebleness of the king, unpre pared for the sudden shook. The death of King Christian has plunged half the continent of Europe into the deepest mourning and brought a sense of personal loss as well as of sincere grief to every one throughout the kingdom of Denmark. Prince Frederick, the eldest son of the late King Christina, who succeeds to the throne, Was born June 8, 1843, and was married July 28, 18(59,t0 Prin cess Louisa, daughter of King Charles XV. of Sweden and Norway. The late King Christian's eldest daughter is Queen Alexandria of England and his son, Prince William, was elected king of Greece under the title of George 1., in 1868. Another daughter of the late king, Marie Dagmar, is the dowager empress of Russia, Maria Feodorovna, who was married to Alexander 111. of Russia. He died Novenmber I, 1894, and his son, Nicholas, is now emperor of Russia. The sudden death of the king will place the majority of the royal houses of Europe in mourning. The rulers of Russia, Great Britain, Greece, Sweden and Norway are directly related to the dead monarch, either personally or through their oonsorts. His sons and daughterss were preparing for their an nual trip to Copenhagen for the pur pose of celebrating his 88th birthday, Qeuen Alexandra received the news of the death of her father at Windsor. In view of the death of the king of Denmark, the offlcail and other en gagements in which the British court is ooncerned will be posjioned or can celled, although nothing affecting the arrangements have been given out. It is asid that the opening of the parliament cannot take place February 19, according to the original ptogram, übt it may be opened by a royal oom mission, as in the later years of Queen Victoria's reign. Strange Crimes in St. Louis. St. Louis, Jan. 28.—While walking along Kossuth avenue Bertha Riley, aged 11 years, was stabbed in the back, presumably by a young man.

Our Fleet Leaves Tangier. Queen Maud of Norway will need j little tuition in the speech of her new realm, for she took to the Danish lan guage with instinctive ease during her girlhood.

The body of the dead soldier was wrapped in the flags un der which he had served with almost equal vigor and distinction —the stars and bars of the confederate states and the stars and stripes. Veterans of the southern and northern armies mingled in paying tribute to General Wheeler with the younger veterans of the Cuban and Philippines wars of 1898 and 1899. The route of the fun eral cortage was lined with great crowds, most of whom stood with bared heads as the procession passed. The funeral took place from the home of General Wheeler's sister, Mrs. Sterling Smith, in Brooklyn, where the general died Thursday of pneu monia. The body was borne from the house by noncommissioned officers of infantry and placed upon a flag draped artillery caisson.

G., in full dress uniform was drawn up. The Seventy-first, commanded by Colonel W. D. Bates, served under General Wheeler in Cuba, and today was given the post of honor. Infantry from Gov ernor's island, headquarters of the de partment of the east. United States army, also joined the procession on this side of the river. From Brooklyn bridge the line of march was across town to Washington square and then up Fifth avenue from Eighth street to Fifty-third street to St. Thomas' church. A riderless horse, with boots reversed in the stirrups and a cavalry sword dangling from the saddle was led just behind the caisson. The brief services were conducted by the Rev. Ernest Stires, rector of the church, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, who, meeting the body at the door, led the way to the chan cel. They were followed by the church vestry, consisting of D. O.

YAKIMA IRRIGATION PROJECTASSURED Prosser, Wash., Jan. 31.—The Tie ton and ISunnyside irrigation projects are assured by the signing here of the government agreement by E. F. Benson of the Prosper Falls Land & Power company. Ail the other rights in the Yakima liver are now adjusted, and Engineer Jacobs has wired Washing ton from here that the slate is clean. Taylor & Kemp and Thompson & Pratt, the two other firms having water rights, signed the government agree ment a week ago. The government is to take over the irrigating plant of Mr. Benson and also water 400 acres of his individual lands. ', It will allow 216 cubic feet of water to pass Prosser during August, and 229 daring the balance of the irrigation season, and also raise the dam in the river here from 12 to 15 feet. This will leave ample power for manufacturing purposes. Engineer Jacobs said he believed the work in this valley would continue for 12 years, until $12,000,000 are expend ed and 400,000 acres of land irrigated, 200,000 of which will be in Benton county. This is the greatest day in Prosser *s history, even being eclipsed in enthus -1 iasm by the news, nearly a year ago, that Benton county had been created. • Predictions are freely made that Pros ser will have 35 population in 10 years. 'shipwrecked victims crazed. Sad Experience of the Survives on / Raft. Chief Cook Hancock, a sußrivor of the Valencia's life raft found in Bar clay sound, in telling of the etperien' ces of /those who were with Won the raft, said so poignant was ft* dl» appointment of the shepwreckei men I when the steamer Queen failed to see | their signals and sheered «ff that one went mad and a few minutes later died. The others, to lighten the raft pushed his body overboard. The« an other passenger, with a cry, slipped off the raft, leaving eight. These were clinging to the frail craft with seai breaking over them, when one Gregg* became insane and was soon violent While some tried to propel the raft landward others were obliged • to hold him. Hancock, who fell asleep was awakened by Greggy clutching his throat and trying to choke him. The insane man was saying, meanwhile "You are a wild dog and good to eat." At last through the spray the wood ed sides of Turret island were seen and as the raft drifted near shore Wilson became crazy and with a wild cry leaped into the sea. The raft with four survivors and three bodies of those who succumbed within sight of land, grounded on a sandy beach. The raft was left drifting off shore until found next morning by the Salvor and the bodies recovered. Greggy the mad man was one of those whose bodies were found. The four survivors, as soon as they crept from the raft, stag gered above high tide mark and fell into«a stupor. Frank Connors, who had imagined he had seen a light house, wandered into the bushes. Next morning the Salvor dispatched two boats and located him on a Ing semi unconscious and muttering that he was going to find the lighthouse. He was revived with difficulty, and it was expected by Dr. Hart on the Salvor that his reason and health would be restored. An Ottawa dispatch says the Cana dian government has ordered an in vestigation into the wreck of the Va lencia. Another Russian General Murdered Tiflis, Feb. I.—The murder of Gen eral Griaznoff, chief of staff of the viceroy of the Caucasus, was most dramatic and audacious. The assassin evidently had studied the habits of his victim and lay in wait behind a wall of the Alexander gaiden, opposite the entrance of the palace, where a car riage was drawn up to take the general for his daily drive. As all suspicious persons are liable to be searched in the streets by the po lice and military patrols, the assassin impersonated a painter, carrying the bomb /with * which he committed the crime concealed in a paint can. He was thus able to pass the sentry post ed at the gate of the park and reached his place of ambush without arousing ■ suspicion. General Griaznoff, clad in a crimson uniform, made a shining target for the crouohing assassin when he emerged from the palace. As the general step ped into the carriage the assassin sprang on the wall, swung the can by a cord, and the bomb, as if thrown form a sling, with marvelous speed, went tsraight to the mark and tsruck the general on the neck. A flash of fire and a terrific explo sion followed and Giaznoff was literal ly blown out of his carriage and, with his coachman,his Cossack orderly, and the latter's horse, was instantly killed. A lady who was passing at the time ■was mortally wounded. lion the correspondent rancher! the scene, immediately alter the. tragedy, the ghastly dead still lay in the mud. Griaznoff's shapeless body, surrounded by soldiers,presented a sickening sight. His head was torn away from the trunk The general's distracted widow knelt; in the blood and mud beside the muti lated body. . The assassin had already been cap tured, beatened into insensibility by. the infuriated soldiers, and after being carried off to the ancient fortress above the city, where, as Tiflis is un der martial law, he was executed at dawn.
