SECRET CONFERENCE WITH
SECRETARY TAFT YES.
TERDAY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Follow-
ing the publication yesterday of the
report from authoritative sources
that were decided upon blockade Of
the Venezuelan coast Ambassador
Jusserand had two hours consulta-
ticn with Secretary of State Root. At
is conclusion, NJ. Jusserand refused to
discuss the French-venezuelan pol
icy. His manner was similar to that
of the French Ambassador, NJ. Cam,
bon, during the SpanishAmerican
war. NJ. Cambon called at the State
Department many times daily during
the negotiations of the peace protocol,
and explained each time that he had
come only ito pay his respects to the
Secretary Of State" The delay by
France in oficlally announcing her
policy is attributed first to the actual
difficulty she encountered immediate,
ly following NJ. Tiagny's expulsion
from Laguayra in determining upon
a coarse of action. There is no ques-
tion but that the triple interest of
Great Britain, Germany and Italy in
Venezuelan customs was an obstacle
deserving earnest consideration.
While France, according TO trustwor'
thy statements here, has decided to
ignore this phase of the circum-
stances, she has made sure of her
justification, according to The best au-
thorlties and precedents.

less wreck, that the southerly gale has
increased in force and there is little
hope that any one of the hundred per
sons supposed to be still on board the
vessel can be saved. The steamer Is
fast going to pieces under the terrible
pounding of the great seas. The
steamer Queen and wrecldng steamer
Salyor both are at the scene making
every effort to save those on board.
Up to three o'clock this morning
only fifteen Of $50 persons on board
when the steamer struck are known
to have escaped. The Valencia encoun-
Itered foul weather about twenty-four
hours after leaving San Francisco. 50
thick was the fog that navigation was
made only by means Of reckoning. A
heavy gale was blowing from the
Southwest, at times the wind blowing
over fifty miles an hour. The officers
believed they we're in the neighborhood
of the lightship Umatilla when the yes
sci struck.
Soundings shortly before the disas-
ter, disclosed thirty fathoms Of water.
There was CONSERVATION aboard when
the officers and passengers heard the
heavy grinding of tile vessels bow as
1t plunged upon the reefs.
Being under slow steam, the ship
did not so far, hence was able to back
or, although not without difficulty, 1t
was then the worst fears Of the extent
Of the accident were realized. Men
sent below came back to report the
vessel filling fast. SO. rapidly did the
Valencia take water the engineers and
tlremen were driven from their posts.
The only chance for life was to run
the ship ashore. There was no time
to choose a place Of landing, 30 the
captain drove his SHIP head.on against
the rocks and forced the prov within
thirty yards Of the high cliffs against
which mountainous waves were pound

The vessel struck with great force
and then settled until the main deck
was awash The panic stricken pas
sengers huddled on tht hurricane deck.
Just before daylight the vessel began
to break and It was decided to lower
the boats. Two boats filled with wo-
men and children which were frst
lowered, were smashed alongside and
all occupants drowned. With these
women and children also perished men
who lad undertaken to pull the boats
to shore,
By this time the ships lights all
were out and the surviving passengers
and crew were huddled forward on the
saloon deck In all seven boats and
two life RATS were lowered and the
two only have been heard from. One
reached Cape Beale light and the other
landed further up the beach.

The labor situation as it stands to-

carpenters is in bad shape and it is
the fault OF no one but the men them

The plumbers are working eight hours
at a good scale of wages. The print
ers are working eight hours at liv-
ing scale of wages. The baymen are
working eight hours at good wages.
The poor old carpenter is compelled
to work nine hours per day-some of
them for SITS per day and the best

enjoy life as we'll as another? Why
should his hours of labor be longer
and his wages smaller than those of
his fellows?
These are questions that laboring

some consideration. One mans life

Of scorn is frequently pointed at the
man who dares to raise his voice or
his hand in defence of the laboring
masses and this tends to curb the de-

blame when he fails to know and rec.
