THE VENEZUELAN SIDE.
Castro's Government Holds That Its
Attitude Is Correct.

Caracas, Jan. 20, via Port of Spain,
Island of Trinidad, Jan. 24.-The
Franco Venezuelan correspondence.
which the Constitutional has been pub
fishing, fully demonstrates, 1t is
claimed, the connivance of the French
government in the Matos revolution.
1t is admitted that the fact that the
French cable, company had been the
French governments best commerce
carrier justifies the action by the gov
eminent against the company. Hence
the position which Venezuela assumed
toward M. Taigny, the former charge
d'affaires of France at this capitol,
when in his protest in behalf of the
company he accused the Venezuelan
government of despoiling the COM
pany, was correct, according to the
Venezuelan point of view.

ONLY AFEW OF THOSE ON BOARD
THE ILL-FATED CRAFT MAN.
AGE TO ESCAPE.
VESSEL POUNDING TO PIECES
LITTLE HOPE OF RESCUING THE
MANY PEOPLE STILL ON
BOARD THE SHIP.

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 24-The steam
er Valencia, which was en- route from
San Francisco with ninety-four passen-
gers and crew of sixty, went ashore
at night in thick fog, and large
number of persons were drowned
while attempting to leave the ship.
The steamer is on the rocks against a
high cliff and is likely to go to pieces
at 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
a 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.
1t is reported that the whaling
steamer Grin has arrived at the Va
lencia wreck from the whaling station
at Sechart, seeking to save as many
as possible.
About One Hundred Persisted.
A dispatch from Cape Beale says
the Valencia went ashore on the Van
couver island coast near Choose. The
lighthouse keeper says about 100 per-
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
Choose, about 100 drowned nine

more particulars as soon as possible"
Choose is about five or six miles
from Carmana Point and siAty-fve
miles from Victoria
Cape Beale is about 100 miles from
Victoria at the eastern entrance to
Barley sound.
The wrecking steamer Salvor has
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

rocks near Cape Beale in heavy
weather, with high breakers.
A dispatch from Carmana says that
a ships boat with persons passed
there at p. m.

Development OF tho Country Club.

There has been a noteworthy revival
Of interest in lawn tennis this season, and
the game is more popular than ever on
the private and club courts. An interest
ing phase Of the development Of the coun-
try clubs, nearly all Of which owe their
establishment to golf, is the space given
up to lawn tennis. The players have
never had so many fine courts, while tho
country club accommodations for players
are superior to those provided at the
clubs organized solely for lawn tennis in
the early years Of the games popularity
in the United States.
Lawn tennis Is primarily the game Of
the youthful and agile, while golf finds
its warmest supporters, aside from
the tournament players, among those
Of mature years. Many Of the lawn
tennis clubs Of fifteen or twenty years ago
we're usually cramped in finances. Their
buildings were Of fimsy construction
All their money was needed to Keep up
the courts. The question Of funds does
not worry the older men who maintain
golf, and. after a links, the first con-
sideration to them is a comfortable club
house. The next is to make the club
popular with the families Of the members,
when the need Of lawn tennis courts, a
good restaurant and a ballroom becomes
apparent. There must also be q garage,
as well a. a carriage house.
The sports Of winter demand attention
il a country club is to be worthy Of the
name. The golfers, II they have a par
TALLY, incline to the fine old Scotch
game Of curling, but that all tastes may
be pleased there must be at the club a
shooting box, toboggan slide, a large
pond for skating, and courts for squash
must be built.
The facility for winter practice with
the racquets in the squash courts should
be especially appreciated by the army
of lawn tennis players. As a supplement
to outdoor work the new opportunities
should hasten the coming Of an American
worlds champion at lawn tennis.

Waste Of the Land.

From JAMES j. HILLS fertile brain
altruism and pessimism spring as twin
flowers. His argument for a wiser oon-
servation OF our u 10 sound alike
from ethical and from economic stand
points. We waste time and land in cul-
tiyating several acres in order to produce
o crop that should and might be raised
on one acre. To obtain Immediately a
profit on 81, ZOO, 900 worth Of lumber, trees
are destroyed that would be worth in a
few years another 100000 o or more.
A fortune that might be saved goes
annually on dump piles and into scrap
heaps. On this Mr.. HILLS argument is
beyond refutation.
We plant and cultivate 49, 900, 900 acres
OF land to get the II, O0O,O 900 bales
Of cotton that ought to be grown ON
5000, 900 acres. We get only thirteen to
fifteen bushels Of wheat to the acre from
BO,0OO,O 900 acres that ought to produce
twenty to twenty-five bushels each. In
1905 the potato crop in Maine averaged
lgS bushels to the acre. The same crop
In Vermont averaged 9s bushels; in
Massachusetts,, 81 bushels in New Hamp-
shire, 20 bushels; in Michigan, 81 bushels.
The average for the entire country was
g bushels. The average acre value Of
the corn crop of the United States for
twenty-five years has been only 30,22
80 far as coming generations are con-
cerned we are quite disposed to believe
that they win take care Of themselves,
or be taken care Of, very much in the
same way as their predecessors. We
believe that they will DO a. well of,
physically and in all material ways, as
the present generation has been, and We
hope that they may, in the matter Of
morals, be better than we have been.
30 far as Mr.. Hills message bears
upon the life Of the people Of to-day, it
a worthy Of the most careful attention.
We waste a heap and we might get, with
no increased outlay Of time, money or
strength, much more than we do by
present methods.

lence by 'sympathlzers.' The history
Of our strikes, however, treasures US,
Looking back ver the lush record Of
the past, we find that tho New York and
Pennsylvania strike may still be de-
pended on for the usual trimmin's.'
But, strangely enough, the Alabama strike
in question has run It's course without
the smallest side play OF the dagger and
the torch. No "scab' has been beaten
into insensibility. No innocent children
have been driven out Of the public
schools. No shops and markets have
been closed, under penalty Of death, to
the families Of misguided men who
think that perhaps Mr.. MITCHELL
doesn't own the world or control the
destinies Of its inhabitants.
The simple truth OF the matter seems
to be chat the wagepayers Of Birming-
ham do not care three strRws about Mr..
MITCHELL or his opinions, and they have
made it unmistakably plain that IL, in
the pursuit Of their civic, commercial
and personal aspirations, any outsider
stood in the way of the procession 1t
would have been money In his pocket to
have died a-bornin'.'
As a matter OF fact, we gather that
our Southern fellow citizens manage
things in a way peculiarly their own.
Apparently, when union laborers go on
a strike, OF course at the instigation Of
some visiting emissary from head
quarters" they concentrate their solicit
tudes on the emissary and waste no
energy upon his dupes and victims.
The result is that the intruder disappears
and conflict 10 averted. The machinery
Of industry resumes it's beneficent mo-
ton. Honest men who wish to work
for the support Of their families proceed
without fear, secure in the protection OF
the law. Boycotts, when attempted,
are met with perfectly polite but highly
educational demonstration. Finally, the
strikers absorb the obvious proposition
that they are at liberty to quit work at
their discretion, but that the very hottest
kind Of water waits for them il they I'M
dertake to browbeat or intimidate non
union men who may see At to fill the
places they have voluntarily abandoned.
The Birmingham strike is over. As a
matter OF fact it ended when the men
withdrew, for In the whole assortment
Of well paid officials Of the Federation
there 10 not one who could be hired at
any price to go down there and make
himself responsible for interference with
the individual liberty Of the Alabama
citizen, white or black. II Is pretty well
understood by this time that such inter-
ference inevitably entails serious II not
fatal consequences to its visible author.
No one, therefore, wants to be visible
and worry naturally the propaganda COL
lapses in the absence Of Q martyr.
Such is the Southern way Of doing
things. Maybe it is impetuous and ex-
travagant; but it seems to work fairly
well, according to the ideas Of the
founders; and certainly the honest work.
ingman at the South is glad to feel that
he can sell his labor at his own discre-
ton without the slightest fear Of death
in consequence.
