t t- ESCAPE WRECK Tte SUFFER ON TRAIL If Survivors of the Valencia Disas ter Reach a Haven and Report Names of Victims Found. Victoria, B. C, Jan. 27.AH of the urvivors who reached shore near the scene of the wreck of the Valencia have now been cared for, the last PMty of nine, who had been stalled at the Darl ing river on account of the flooded wa ters reaching the steamer Salvor at Bamfield creek last night. They were in a bad condition. Great credit is due to the party from the Salvor, headed by Captain Ferns, who left early Wednesday and traveled an almost impassable trail for fifteen miles. After a night spent on the trail thev started for Eome with the survi vors. Before returning Captain Ferris vis ited the wreck. He reported the beach literally covered with wreckage, and at that time five bodies were on shore being identified. A second party left the Salvor yes terday morning. They went as far as Pachena, carrying packs of provision and extra clothing. At 3 o'clock they were joined by a landing party sent from the United States revenue cutter Grant. At Pachena provision was made to succor the survivors. Sufferers Sighted. The party was sighted at 3:10 p.m. on a point of rockj having taken to the beach as the trail was too hard for the men to travel in their famished condi tion. All the survivors were complete ly fatigued. The entire party was quipped with shoes, those who had been without having been suppled with hoes taken from the corpses washed ashore. The survivors are loud in their praise of the rescue party from the Sal Tor. The trail is in a frightful condi tion and is most difficult at best. Elevett bodies are reported washed ashore. One has been identified thru papers found as that of Mr. Doherty of jTew York. The name of W. Doherty appears in the crew list as a fireman. Another is identified as A. F. Grif enstan ot San Jose, Cal. Lack of Discipline. F. F. Bunker of Seattle said there vras an evident lack of discipline among the officers and this statement has been corroborated by other passengers. A mess boy cursed an officer to his face for not giving proper orders. Another survivor of the Valencia has been found in Frank Connors, who was discovered on Turret island in an ex hausted condition. Unless some survivors are found on floating wreckagea small hopeit is not expected that more than" the thirty seven men now accounted for will sur vive the disaster. This makes the total loss 117 persons. The steamer Salvor reported at Bam field creek last night that she had ?icked up a raft from the Valencia off 'urret island. On the raft were three bodies, which have been identified as those of Wallace, a waiter Nelson, third engineer, and shot American soldier and marine of the United States -ship Concord. 1 24th Annual Reduced-Price Sale.

After an investigation by the district attorney and the chief or the secret service, it was found Impossible to debar Judge Brown for bribery, or punish him for contempt of court, President Eoosevelt authorized the publication of the correspondence so as to expose the methods pursued by the attorneys for the beef trust. Judge Brown stateB that the money he gave was his own and not that or his clients and that they knew nothing of the transaction. Reporter Discharged. Chicago. Jan. 27.The Inter Ocean publishes the following: Mr. Haggler, the reporter accused in the preceding dispatch, ceased last night to have any connection with this ^newspaper. He undertook to report the trial of the packers under these instruc tions., and no others: "Tell the truth, and treat the packers fairly." His reports have been checked up with other reports of the trial a"n*d have been found accurate. However, a re orter who takes money, even tho he so innocently, as Mr. Hassler ap pears to have done in this case, has lost hia usefulness to the Inter Ocean. The insinuation that the general policy of the Inter Ocean, in treating the packers fairlyin refusing to persecute them because they are being prosecute?!has been in any way fixed Dy Mr. Hassler is, of course, ridiculous. The policy of a great newspaper is not allected by a reporter on it. Hereafter, as hereto fore, the truth regarding the trial of the packers will be told without preju dice against either prosecutors or the prosecuted. PARLEY DISCUSSES MOORISH TAXES Sultan Needs Money and Pro tected Classes May Have to Pay Up. Algeeiras, Spain, Jan. 27.The pleni potentiariesl"s otoda theaffld their1 powers resumed session spent two hoars going over the work of commit tee on Moroccan revenues. The powers have several Important objects in examining the question of Moorish taxes. The sultan is alwavs in need of money and will be in a bet ter humor to co-operate with the pow ers in the work or reform if he is sup plied with more cash for foreign lux uries, of which he is fond and which are a scandal to his pious subjects. The Moroccan conference seems dis posed also to reduce the number of so called "protected" persons who escape taxation because they are foreigners or in the service of or in partnership with foreigners. Part of the plan under con sideration today is to limit foreign pro-, tection anclto introduce land taxes. It was proposed in committee to tax land* lords. 'No," said Sidi-Mohammed el Mokhri, the second of the Moroccan delegates to the conference. "Tax the tenants. We can never win the^ land lords. The occupants of houses always say they are tenants.'' M. Eevoil, chief of the French mis sion, who was formerly governor of Algiers and who therefore is familiar with North African conditions, re marked: "Tax them both, then you will catch one of them." Shereef in the Way. One perplexing question is the status of the Shereef of Wazzin, who is re vered thruout the Barbary states as the descendant of the Indreesi family and the St. Zahoon family, and is a very richf landowner in Algeria. His influence is religious rather than politi cal. The failure of the ministers at Fez to agree on a new taxation seheme was due to the obiection of the French minister to tax the Shereef of Wazzin. The other ministers said that if thench est family was to be protected by one power they would not give up protect ing those who were less rich. The sultan, in addition to other rea sons foj^ reforming the Moroccan sys tem of taxation, must have more money with which to pay the semimilitary police establishment which the powers wish to form. Conferred with Rebels. An odd experience of the Spanish cruiser Infanta Isabel, which is patrol ling the Moroccan coast to prevent the smuggling of arms, was reported to the conference by her commander Tues day. While the cruiser was close to the shore the flag of Bonghi, the sul tan's formidable rebel subiect, was ob served flying from a staff with the French flag under it. A boat manned by Moors and displaying the French flag put off from the shore, pulled 'along side the cruiser and handed to the cap tain of the Infanta Isabel, which the Moors evidently had mistaken for a French vessel ,a message from Ronghi inviting her commander to come ashore and placing himself at the latter's dis position. The commander of the Span ish cruiser, as he was without the right to search foreign vessels, did not at tempt to interfere, but put back to Algeeiras in order to advise the Span ish delegates of the mysterious flag in cident.

SOLDIERS MUTINY AT VLADIVOSTOK Serious Uprising of Russian Troops at Far Eastern Port. St. Petersburg, Jan. 27.That there has been a renewal of the mutiny at Vladivostok was confirmed by a dis patch from that city filed Thursday and received here late last night. This dispatch indicates that the mu tiny, which began' last Monday, had not been subdued and that the situation was far more serious than during the out break in November, as the mutineers in clude both sailors and artillerists, who are in possession of the "Holy Inno cence battery and are well armed with rifles, machine guns and heavy fortress guns. General Mistchenko, who has been capturing a fortified position, It declares that the promises of imme diate transportation home for the men, with which the government ended the former revolt, are n'ow scarcely effect ive. The telegram, which bears evidence of having been carefully edited, says nothing about the numbers of the muti neers nor of the attitude of the garri son as a whole. The hasty dispatch of the nearest available troops indicates that General Linevitch is distrustful. The number of casualties in a fight on Tuesday, when' a column of sailors in advancing on the commandant's house was scattered by machine guns, is not stated in the dispatch, and there is no mention in it of the excesses or the de struction of property. A report that General Selivanoff, the commander of the army corps at Vladi vostok, had been wounded is confirmed. The war department officials are un able to give particulars of the serious ness of the mutiny, which is due to the reserve men, who are thoroly undisci plined and are clamori'n'g for their im mediate transportation nome, tho the government has given them precedence over the trans-Siberian railroad, in ad dition to chartering all the available steamers for this purpose* Gomel Is in Flames. A dispatch from Gomel says that half the town is in flames and that fighting is going on in the center of the town between the troops and revolu tionists, who have been reinforced by the peasantry of the surrounding dis tricts. The disorder extends to five counties around Gomel. The poasantry, as in the Baltic provinces, have de posed the old authorities and elected revolutionists to fill their places. Reds Slay in Hospital. Lodz, Eussian Poland, Jan. 27.Three unidentified persons today gained ac cess to the hospital and killed with daggers a man named Lukizevski, who was shot in the streets Jan. 25. Tho murderers thus completed the sentence of the local revolutionary tribunal, which condemned him for informing on the location of bomb depots. Snot by Hundreds. Wenden, Livonia, Thursday, Jan'. 25. The pacification of the Baltic pro vinces is reaching the final stage, so far as the agrarian movement is concerned. Nearly 250 revolutionists have been shot, several thousand are under arrest and 5,000 rifles have been' captured by the troops. Generals Orloff, Meinhardt and. Wendt are now operating in the Wen den district with 10,000 troops complet ing a circle in which the revolutionists are being gathered. The generals have the names of the leaders of the revolu tio'ndsts, who will be tried by courtmar tial when caught and either shot or im prisoned. The majority of those al ready executed were Lettish teachers or students. The revolutionists have stopped burn ing buildings, but they occasionally fire on the troops. Among the burnea cas tles is that of Baron Rosen Grossroop, about twenty miles northwest of We'p.'- den, which was destroyed with all its contents, servants, who had been in the service of the baron for twenty years, assisting in the work of destruction. Altogether the revolutionists in this district burned 200 castles, valued at $4,000,000 without including the arti cles or value which they contained. The troops are taking the strictest measures. On one occasion they sur rounded a church in which funeral ser vices were proceeding, arrested the re volutionary orators and shot one of them. A GUARANTEED CUBE FOB PILES.
