cMn. un.- SB The steamship City
of Topeka arrived here today bringing
twenty-three of the survivors of the ill
fated ship Valencia. The Topeka arrived
here this morning at one' thirty. Of the
twenty-three survivors, on board, seven
teen were picked up on a raft Wednesday
afternoon, and the other six escaped in a
life boat and were picked up by a steamer
yesterday and transfered to the City of
Topeka. Seven of the survivor were
taken to the Rainier .hotel and the others
scattered out among the other hotels of
the c ty.. When the.Topeka left the scene
of the wreck yesterday afternoon nothing
could be seen of the Valencia and it was
evident to those who were watching from
the seaward side that the stranded liner
had given up the figiit and had gone down
to a tragic end yesterday. The City of
Topeka cruised around the straits looking
for the other life raft which had been re
ported as having left the wreck about the
same timeth) raft with the eighteen men
d'd , which was picked up, but nothing
ojIJ be found. No stretch of ocean wai
ever more carefully searched for a sign
of life than the sea about the mouth of
the" straits. ,' .
Hour after hour was spent by the To

tiought possible some of these unfortun
ates might have been cast up by wind or

The survivors unite in commending . tin
bravery of the officers and crew of tht
wrecked vessel. They brand the . asser
tion, that because of the fact that m
women or children were saved, that the
were left to their fate by Wis men, ai
false. The women and children were no
on the life boat because they did no'
want to go. They were asked severs
times by Capt Johnson if they wer
willing to take the chances,, but as i
seemed to mean certain death to go upoi
the raft they preferred to stay with thi
doomed ship. ' At last the captain issuei
the word for the men to jump upon th
raft and they did so. The raft had a ca
pacity of twelve, and their were eighteei
men on board when it was cast loose
Those on the raft were up to their chest:
in water more than one half of the timt
and even If the women and children hai
succeeded in getting on they would havi
perished before they were rescued. Tht
raft was almost parpand cular wnen th.
men were rescued . ,
Among those supposed to have perishec
was J, B. Graham, a passenger, and witi
him a bag of gold containing $1,500
Survivors say he was frantic and offeree
the money to any one who would place
him ashore, but others paid little heed U
his pleadings and the gold lsy'onttv
broken deck kicked under their feet, ni
one bothering even to pick it up. . . It wa
one time when money could not buy what
was -wanted.

RIGID ECONOMY f OR THE NAVY
Washington, D. C. Jan. 26. There is
jvery.reas)n to believe that the House
Naval Committees will still further re
iuce the naval estimates in its revision
f the departmental reccomendations used
is th biss f-irchi a.inuil naval appro
pnalion act. It was hoped by those in
charge of iha public works at the n vy
yards and sta.ions that ongress would
be more liberal this year than usual, Last
year the appr p Ution for naval Increase
amounted to $ 3.0Od.000 while that for
put lii improv-jmt-nt such as the equipment
)f n-ival repair plants, was - $2.500. 00 J.
This is not considered a fair prorortion
nd it has baen maintained that with the
increase of the navy and the larger vol
jme of work wiichmuttbe performed
at naval stations there th uld be a more
id equate provi.ifl,J(jr tne improvements
or the yards and ships and . a betterment
jf the working facilities. The chief of
t ie Bureau of Yards and Docks has been
oefore tie House Nival con nittaoiee. a
times and has urged the clai-ns of his de
partment. It was evident, however, that
the committee was disposed to reduce at
every turn the bureau estimates for yard
improvements andj t will not be surprising
to the Navy department authorities if
they find their recommendations materially
reduced. . ' '"'';

IS DESIRED
Washington, D. C, Jan. 26 A move- ;
ment has been started to appeal to the :
American public for contributions of food- ".
stuffs and money to relief the distress in
the famine stricken northern provinces of
Japan. According to information receiv- .
4 K -.InnjtffUiAA .amhv Kara thu
northern provinces of Japan are suffering--from
a severe famine which only the
quickest relief will be tble to check. . Ac
cording to the information obtained, the
r ce crop this year has been only about
ifteen per cent of the average crop and
.hat the famine ..is causing particular
luffdring in the three 'northern provinces
if Fukushim,;. Miysgi. and Iwate, which
lave together a population of about two
million seven hundred thousand. Many of
-he people are engaged In the silk trade
jnd the failure of the silk output has .
iugmented the general suffering.
In answer to, an Inquiry made by
persons in this country whether any help
from a foreign country would be accepted.
the Japanese government has sent a
cable message to the charge-d'affaires in .
this city, saying that such help would be
very welcome at this moment. The dis
patch adds that the government investi
gation into the conditions in the above
named provinces has 'confirmed the ex
treme seriousness of.. the situation. The
plan of the government ii to ts'ab is'i '
