TAKES UP BANKRUPTCY LAW.
Chairman Jenkins Tells of Judiciary
Committees Work.

& Washington, Jan. 25.-The commit
tee on judiciary in the house will soon
take up for consideration various bills
that have been offered repeating the
federal bankruptcy law. The commit
tee in the last congress by a narrow
majority reported bill repeating the
bankruptcy act and as there has been
practically no change in the personnel
of the committee, unless there has
been change in sentiment, it is rea-
sonable to assume that such bill
would again be reported favorably.
Representative Jenkins, chairman
of the committee, says the insurance
question is soon to be given considera-
tion by the full committee, the object
being to demonstrate what can be
done along the line of recommends
tions by President Roosevelt in his
annual message favorable to national
supervision and control of insurance.

portion of Johnstown, the famous food
city, is again suffering, this time
through heavy rains. Cellars under all

suspend and the fire department has
been kept at work pumping water

France to Have Free Hand in Dealing
With Venezuela.

Washington, Jan. 25.-So far as in
formal inquiry on the subject has gone
France has ground for the conviction
that she will encounter no opposition
by any of the other nations having
claims against Venezuela in the exc
cution of the naval programme which
she intends to initiate against that
country. Great Britain and Italy, it
was believed all along, would offer NO,
objection, but the news that Germany
is not disposed to side with President
Castro against France is regarded III
diplomatic circles here as encourag-
ing for the French plans. The eject
ment of NJ. Taigny from La Guayra is.
now taken by France as her main
basis for action against Venezuela.

FIGHT MAIL ORDER HOUSES.
Retail Merchants of Middle West Will
.OroaniZe

Organize.
Des Moines, Jan. 25.-Many retail
merchants from different parts of the
Middle West are in session here for
the purpose of organizing a Retail
Merchants association to cope with
the mail order house competition,
which they claim is almost exter-
minating them IN this section.
1t is expected that the merchants
will perfect an organization along the
lines suggested by w. H. Gentner of
Pennington, Ia. His plan is to organ
ize the merchants of ten states, who
shall pay a membership fee of $5
each. When this organization is per-
fected corporation is to be formed
and stock sold at $1,000 a share.
With this money wholesale house is
to be opened in Chicago, through
which the output of many Eastern fac
tories will be handled just as cheap
ly as the goods of the large mail order
houses.
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska
and South Dakota will be the first
states to be organized.

Bellingham, Wash, Jan. 25.-The
salvage steamer Salver from Victoria

Valencia during the night, according
to a special dispatch to the Herald,
but had to stand by until daylight,
being unable to render assistance to
the survivors during the night hours.
The work is now proceeding.
Seattle, Wash, Jan. 25.-A resume
OF the situation shows that at least
thirty persons perished and perhaps as
many as seventy. Something like a
hundred persons are SO far unaccount-

the government signal service were
beard among shipping men. The gov
ernment wire from Tatoosh island to
the mainland has never been main
tanned. Had the wire been up tugs
could have been instantly dispatched
to the scene, instead of whole day

Victoria, B. c., jan 25.-The steam
er Valencia of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company, with ninety-four pas.
sengers on board and a crew of sixty,
was wrecked to the eastward of Cape
Beal on the Vancouver island coast,
with heavy loss of life.
Six survivors, members of the crew
sent to Cape Beal for aid, report that
at least fifty persons were drowned
alongside the steamer when boats
loaded with women and children
smashed against the steamers side
soon after they were lowered from the
vessel When the refugees left over
100 persons were huddled on the sa-
loon deck of the steamer, which was
then partly submerged, with the in
rolling sea washing over the main
deck. A southeast gale was blowing,
with the wind whistling through the
cordage of the wrecked vessel at
velocity of over forty miles an hour
and a high sea was beating against
the hull, sending spray high over it,
threatening to break up the wreck.
Unless the vessels which have been
sent to the steamers assistance can
arrive in time to save those who re-
manned on the wreck it is doubtful if
any of them will reach shore, for a
landing in such place is extremely
difficult if at all possible.

from San Francisco at II a. M. Satur-
day. This was the only clear day and
from Saturday evening Captain John

by means of dead reckoning.
AS the Valencia was laundering as
result of her impact with the rocks
the only possible chance to save any
of those on board was to pull the YES
sci ashore again with the hope, scant
though it was, of landing those on
board on the rocky coast.
The loss Of life was awful when the
boats were lowered. Two boats filled
with women and children were swept
against the side of the steamer,
smashed and completely wrecked, all
those in the boats being swept into
the sea and drowned.
