VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 26.-When
the wrecked steamer Valencia broke
up on noon Wednesday, after being
on the rocks at Klanaway point since
shortly after midnight the previous
day, three eye.witnesses stood fifty
yards away and watched 40 or SO per.
sons, both men and women who were

In one enguldng wave. Lineman Lo.
gan, D. Martin and w. P. Daykin,
telegraphed today to Cape Beale that
they had seen the awful sight of every
soul on board the wreck being swept
to death without being able to do any.
thing to save them.
The party, with ropes and supplies
fastened to their backs, struggled over
the trail by night, arriving at the
wreck on Wednesday morning. On
reaching the top of bluff the wreck
was seen below, partly submerged,
only 10 yards from the face of the
bluff. Below them, huddled on the
oeck-house, were many survivors. 1t
was an awful disappointment to those
people clinging to the rigging when
they found the would-be rescuers were
unable to aid them.
When the party first showed them
selves on the top of the cliff, the pas.
sengers began to cheer wildly. They
l.
realization coon came that assistance
could not reach them. The men
ashore were unable to do anything,
and they clung in despair to the rig.

OVER ONE HUNDRED DROWNED.
List Of Victims Of Valencia Shipwreek
Reaches Large Proportions.

VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 25.-The
wrecked steamer Valencia now lies
submerged and broken, but q portion
OF a mast stands above the water and
feet OF steamers and tugs have to-
day been turning their attention to
patrolling the vicinity with the hope
OF finding boats, rats or wreckage
still afoat with survivors, though the
chances are email. Ashore several
parties have been toiling over most
arduous trails, some carrying succor to
those who were washed ashore, others
securing the rugged rocks OF the
shore line, seeking for any survivors
that may have reached shore and be
lying, foodless and helpless, and 9th.
ers are engaged in the melancholy
duty Of recovering bodies.
OF the total company Of 154, but So
have been definitely accounted for,
and three men, believed to be other
survivors. were seen on shore, from
the whaling vessel Orion, near the
wreck, huddled about the fire. Six
survivors have been taken on the Sal.
vor: nine, most of them 80 badly cut
up and bruised, without boots and so
overcome that they cannot stand, !,
much less walk, are still camping at
Darling creek. telegraph hut, and IS
others were picked up by the City Of
Topeka. With the three seen from the
Orion a mile and q half from the
wreck added, the survivors total SO,
leaving death list Of 1l9 persons.
Not woman or child is among the
saved.
Scant hope is entertained by those
on board the patrolling steamers that
any others will be recovered, for the
doctors on rescuing tugs say the limit
of human endurance will have been
passed before this time.

Chinese SWINE

The American swine of TODAY are
very different from their English an
eestOrs, which few centuries ago CON
Itituted one of the chief sources Of
British wealth. The Improvement in
tile race Is largely due to the introduc-
ton OF the Chinese and Neapolitan
breeds. The crossing of the former up-
on the English hog has resulted in the
1;uiuctiOn Of the Berksh Essex. po-
tiud-C hina. Small Yorkshire and Sut-
:olS breeds. The Chinese hog is re-
oihrkably prepotent, as is shown by the
tendency Of the modern breeds to re-
vert 10 the original type. This is doubt
less owing to the many centuries of in
breeding which have so firmly fixed its
characteristics. One Of the most i'm.
poltant Of these is its propensity to
fatten under the most adverse circum-
>tanceS. This superabundance of fat
prevents the flesh Of this breed being
hi@hly esteemed in this country, but II
slS had Il most valuable effect In modi-
ing the lean. gaunt hogs Of England,

pounds and Is attached to a line which
is marked off in fathoms by bunting of
