MAY RE ADOPTED az FRANCE TO
OBTAIN SATISFACTION FROM
VENEZUELA.
MAY SEIZE A CUSTOM HOUSE
WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT WILL
NOT INTERFERE WITH THE
PLANS OF FRANCE.

Washington, Jan. 24.-When NJ
Jusserand, the French ambassador,
called during the afternoon on Secre-
tary Root to find out if there were any
advices from Caracas, the ambassador
had not been informed by his foreign
Office exactly on what day the squad
ron expected to arrive in Venezuelan
waters. Indeed, the foreign Office has
not as yet advised the embassy as to
the extent of the naval demonstration
plans. It is realized, it is pointed out
here, that simple blockade while har-
RAISING Venezuelan commerce might
not impress President Castro with the
seriousness of the purpose Of the
French government. 1t can be stated,
however, that the way is clear so far
as the Washington government is con
cerned for France to adopt more cx-
treme measures and take possession
OF custom house pending an adjust
ment with President Castro. 1t is ad-
mitted that any programme that may
be Initiated must be tentative, as all
depends upon the attitude which
President Castro may assume, once
French Warships are in Venezuelan
waters
1t is said here that something def
mite on the naval programme may be
expected within a few days, There
is strong indication here that Franco,
in view of the Venezuelan treatment
OF M. Taigny, will omit to send 10
Venezuela an ultimatum, but will pro
coed without this fOrmalitY

BEFORE DISPUTE ARISES.
Americans Trying to Bring France
and Germany Nearer Together.

Americans Trying to Bring France
and Germany Nearer Together.
Algeciras, Jan. 24.-Henry White,
ambassador to Italy, and head Of the
American delegation to the Moroccan
conference, Is making the weight of
the United States felt in frequent en-
deavors to bring France and Germany
nearer together before the disputed
questions arise in the conference.
These questions cannot long be disre-
garded as the discussion of the ques-
ton of economic reforms in Morocco
will begin next week.
1t has been impossible for the
United States to take the lead in seek
ing way toward an agreement that
shall guarantee to all countries an
equal footing in Morocco and yet rec
,ognize in some respects the special
position of France. 1t is a difficult
task but all the governments except
those directly concerned are assisting
in it because of the danger of the sit
uation should the conference fail of a
settlement.
Great Britain is acting entirely with
France and is not disposed now to ask
France to modify her views. Italy,
however, as the ally Of Germany and
the friend of France, and Russia as
the friend of Germany, are co-operat-
ing in the expectation to find a com
promise.
The delegates to the Moroccan con-
ference devoted the day to a series of
brilliant functions commemorating
King Alfonsos feast day. The Span
ish, French and British squadrons in
the harbor displayed full compile
ment of colors and from daylight the
warships and land Notifications sa'

VESSEL POUNDING TO PIECES
LlTTLE HOPE OF RESculNG THE
MANY PEOPLE STILL ON
BOARD THE SHIP.

victoria, Is. e., Jan. 24.-The steam
X Valencia, which was en- route from
San Francisco with ninety-four passen-
gers and crew of sixty, went ashore
at night in a thick fog, and a large
number of persons were drowned
while attempting to leave the ship.
The steamer Is on the rocks against
high cliff and Is likely to go to pieces
Mt any time. One boats crew reached
Cape Beale at o'clock in the after
noon and nine men got ashore near the
telegraph hut about fifteen miles from
the lighthouse. Two men are prison
ers on the face Of the cliff near which
the steamer went ashore and cannot
get UP the cliff nor return to the
wreck. They will probably be rescued
when the tide is high.
The survivors report terrible scenes,
one woman dropped her child into the
sea while trying to hand it to her hus-
band who was in one of the boats
When the boats crew left there was
little boy running about the deck
crying for his mother, who was among
the drowned. 1t is believed there are
still 125 persons On the wreck with al
most certain death staring them in
the face
The steamer Queen City, which ar
rived here at o'clock from San Fran
cisco, landed her passengers and left
at once for the scene of the wreck
The Queen City left at o'clock ON
her regular coast trip and should
reach the scene of the wreck in about
two hours.
It is reported that the whaling
steamer Orin has arrived at the Va
lencia wreck from the whaling station
at Sechart, seeking to save as many
as possible.
About One Hundred Perished.
A dispatch from Cape Beale says
the Valencia went ashore on the Van
couyer island coast near Cloose. The
lighthouse keeper says about 100 per-
sons were drowned. The news of the
disaster on the Vancouver island
coast is meager, being confined to the
message received by Captain Gaudin,
agent of the marine service, from
Lighthouse Keeper Patterson at Cape
Beale, saying:
Steamer wrecked between here and
Cloose, about 100 drowned; nine
reached telegraph hut. Will wire
more particulars as soon as possible" :"
Cloose is about five or six miles
from Carmana Point and siXty-fve
miles from Victoria.
Cape Beale is about 120 miles from
Victoria at the eastern entrance to
Barkley sound.
The WreclIng steamer Salyor has
gone to assist the wrecked vessel Va
lencia.
The meteorological station reports
that a gale had been in progress on
the island coast for the past two days
Off Vancouver island a velocity of
forty miles an hour was reported. A

NOT HIS LINE.


Not all men are fitted for all th;noa

credit to himself, but he was not born
to be a diver, as his experiences show.
One of the greatest dangers in diving ia
that Of panic.
The quality a diver needs more than
any other Is presence Of mind. A young
scotchman, six feet tall, by the name
Of Rob, applied to me for a position as
diver. He had a sweetheart at home,
and, tempted by the high wages, was
anxious to learn the business. One
time, when work was slack, l let him

walked away from the boat, paying out

stopped. imagined him resting, and
thought he was doing remarkably we'll.
All at once l noticed dark, bladder

Rob. AS he drew nearer we could hear
him screaming his loudest inside the
swollen dress. 1 got him alongside, un-
screwed the escape valve, and hauled
him on deck. All the time he was cry
ing, Let me out!
When Rob came to his senses, we
learned that he had become frightened
lest his dress should burst, and had
screwed the escape valve the wrong
way, keeping in the air instead of let
ting 1t escape. He lost his presence of
mind altogether, and fell down. The
confined air accumulated In the bulk

The second attempt Rob made as
diver nearly cost him his life. He made
the very same mistake with the valve.
Then, crazed by fear, he began to I'M

his sweetheart, he lost consciousness

for some hours after we had hauled

EARLY Lessons in Gossip.


We are not gossips, but when Tom
my and Nellie have spent an afternoon
with us, we devote part of the evening
to discussion of their childish faults.
We criticise their table manners, and
wish their mother would teach them
not to interrupt. We think, Of course,
that they will never hear Of our re-
marks; but nevertheless we have bro
ken the laws Of hospitality, and our re-
lation to the children Is changed; we
are less their friends, though they
know 1t not.
Since l love my neighbor so well, 1t
Inevitably follows that l feel an anx-
ious desire to understand all things,
which pertain to his welfare-whether
his meat Is well cooked, how many sill
yer spoons he has, and whether he
sends his cuffs to the laundry or has
them washed at home For this pur-
pose, what more natural than that
should encourage the prattling tongues
Of his children? But when have add
ed to the already over-burdened world
monogers not to mention a few choice
specimens of the woman who tells all
she knows, l am fortunate to escape
the mobbing which l deserve. We all
know that well-bred child does not
talk of family affairs to every one, but
how Is frank, open-hearted boy or
girl to avoid answering questions?
Even without questions, II Is easy to
lead them on. The flattery of ABSORB
ed attention and the smiling, conf1den-
tial air of an older person affects
them quickly, and they early learn the
delight of telling an interesting story.
If Mrs. Smith Is so much interested In
the account of Mrs. Browns dressmak-
Ing, why not tell her about 1t? And IL
an added 'she says" or II guess"
brings smile of appreciation, the
temptation Is too great to be resisted.
The habit grows insensibly, and the
child who, with the best intentions. en-
tertained Mrs. Smith with the story
OF her neighbours affairs grows into n

HOUSE KEPT ON PROBATION.
After q Weeks Trial Widow and
WidOwer Are Duly Married

After Weeks Trial Widow and
WidOwer Are Duly Married.
Lamar County furnishes case of
marriage after probation that Is unique
and suggestive.
A widower farmer desiring wife
was introduced by a mutual friend to a
widow with children temporarily abid-
Ing In charity institution.
Both were favorably impressed at
first acquaintance, but the woman sug-
gested that she keep house for the farm
er for a week and at the end Of that
time each could more intelligently de-
termine the grave question Of a union
for life. Accordingly she went with
her children and was duly Installed as
housekeeper.
The experiment was eminently salts
factory to both parties and at the end
of the week they were married.
: Perhaps 1t will shock the sentimental
and the romantic, but the incident con-
tains the wise suggestion that folk de-
string to become husband and wife
should be sure of knowing each other
in their common clothes and under
workaday conditions.
Parlor manners on the part of the
woman and picnic gallantry on the part
Of the man are not conclusive indexes
of character, nor Is the yumyum ecstasy
of infatuation sufficient evidence Of
compatibility.
Keeping company nowadays runs too
much to bonbons and embossed station
cry. OF course, there is abundant OPP
portunity to get acquainted after the
engagement, but it is before the avowal
that the pair ought to put each other
through the practical PAGES.
1t would save many heartache,

the business of the divorce lawyers

use Of naphtha. 1t must literally be
poured on to be at all effective If the
chair or sofa to be cleaned Is placed In
the breeze-out Of doors or by an open
window-the naphtha will evaporate
very quickly and every vestige of moths
will be destroyed. II the articles are
to be left In the house, they may be
wrapped In sheets tightly pinned around
them. This keeps a certain amount of
the odor In the furniture for a long
time and renders 1t doubly safe. 1t
cannot be too strongly emphasized that
no light Of any kind must be taken into
the rooms while the naphtha cleaned ar
ticles, recently finished, are there. The
infiammable nature Of naphtha vapor
makes 1t exceedingly dangerous when
brought near a fame. Cushions, car
pets and wool draperies may safely be
cleaned in this way, and all that Is nee
esary is to throw all draperies over
Vine In the yard. open the windows,
remove the wrapping from the furni-
ture, and let the breeze have full
sweep through the. rooms for day or
two; then there will be no offensive
smell, and the furniture may be used

from fire Is concerned.
