VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 20.—The one in- teresting story of the day in connection with the\aftermath of the wreck of the Valencia i the tale of heroism displayed by young G. H. Jesse, the popular young Vietoria oarsman, who sacrificed his life, according to all accounts of survivors, in attempting to save Miss Van Wydk of San Francisco from & watery grave. When asked by those who were going on the life raft if hg would go along young Jesse replied, “No, I have some one to look after.” This some one was Miss Van Wyck, whom he was then busily en- gaged in lashing te the mast, using his great coat to afford her better protection. They say Jesse was one of the gamest of those in the rigging, he continually en- couraging those clinging there. He was an athlete noted through the Northwest, having been a member of the champion four of the Northwest for several sea- sons. George Long, a snrvivor, said to-day: “Jesse was on board when I left, and he was one of the gamest of all. On Tuesday night he not only held himseif in the rigging, but also supported Miss Van Wyck. I did not know who she was at the time, but have recognized her and Jesse from pictures in the papers. Miss Van Wyck broke down at times and it was then that Jesse showed his great determination by clinging on and at the same time trying to succor Miss Van ‘Wyck. Mr. Jesse was a man in a thou- sand and when I left the vessel he was still clinging to the rigging with Miss Van Wyck in his arms.” Survivor Connors sald: *“I saw Jesse and know him, as he was a particularly striking man. He was a little farther up on the mast than I when the topmast broke. I was carried down and he had a hard time to keep in the.rigging holding Miss Van Wyck. “I called to him to-come down . and take a chance on the life raft, but he re- plied, ‘No, I have some one here to look after and will stay and take my chances.’ “If Miss Van Wyck had been saved she would have owed her life to Jesse, as he did his utmost to save har. preventing her from falling from the rigging several times. He was still clinging to the rig- ging, holding Miss Van Wyck, when [ left. It is very likely he was drowned while® still trying to save the young woman.” v o, 2o il For a time ‘it wds thouglit he would be dashed to death by ‘the next wave, which almost overturned the boat. Prompt work on the part of Lieutenant Covell and the fishermen, haowever, saved Bunker, and he was hauled into. the boat and con- veyed to the Grant. St g GERMAN SHIP ASHORE. Crew Escapes From Vessel on Rocks of - False Bay. SEATTLE, Jan. 2.—A special dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer to-night from Sitka, Alaska, says that the German steamship Mariechen went ashore at False Bay, 100 miles from that point, on last Thursday. The officers and part of the crew arrived in Sitka on Sunday on the Georgia. The Mariechen cleared from Seattle for Viadivostok on January 19 with a cargo of general merchandise valued at $250,000. This is a total loss, but the ship may be saved. No lives were lost. The ship was ¢hartered by the Barne- son-Hibberd Company of San Francisco. Captain Hibberd was on board and* cnme in on the Georgia. He said: “We encountered a gale 800 miles ofl Cape Flattery. It smashed the deadlights and the water flooded the engine-room and extinguished the fires. We ha‘e been drifting since.” Captain Hibberd gives the highest praise to Captain Rudolph, who was in command, for his wonderful work in keeping the ship afloat. He says that there were terrible gales and it was fear- fully cold. The pumps were clogged and the crew.was forced.to use buckets in the effort to clear the ship of water. Cap- tain Hibberd left for the south last Sun- day on the steamship Cottage City. i FIRE IN BIG SHIP. Vigilance of Watchman Saves Crew From Awful Death, NANAIMO, B. C.. Jan. 28.—With the crew asleep in her hold, the upper works of the steamship Cascade, Cap- tain Fulton, from Vancouver, en route to the halibut banks, Hecate Straits, burst into flames while at anchorage here shortly after midnight this meorn- ing from unknown origin. The fire was first seen by the night watchman, but not until the whole structure was aflame. Dashing into the hold -he aroused the sleeping crew just in time to prevent probable loss of life. By this time several tugs lying alongside were playing powerful streams on' the steamship and, after a hard fight, suc- ceeded in saving her from complete de- struction. The Cascade’s upper wurks will have to be rebuilt and the gngine and boiler rooms are badly damaged. McLEAN I$ ALIVE. “Pirate” and Vessel He Salls Reaches : Port.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—Colonel Mann, through his lawyers, has made a de mand for the letter which Secretary Loeb wrote to Judge Deuel, in which was en- closed a corrected proof sheet and four photographs which appear in Fads and Fancles, -and which are reproduéed on two pages in that book devoted to Presl- @ent Roosevelt. Mr. Jerome, who has the letter and proof sheet, is in Lakeville, Conp. He has the panoes wypted by Colonel Mann and by Hoadley, Lauter- bach & Johnson, Mann's legal representu- tives. Jerome has declined to make the letter public. Whether he will deliver the paper asked, for. to. the editor.of Town Toples at this time will not be known until* Jerome returns to the city next Monday. It was learned to-day from whak must be recognized as undisputable authorify that there is only one correction on the proof sheet. Three lines of printed proof ‘were scratched out with a pen.. This por- tion of the sketch dealt with the life of Mr. Roosevelt in the West. .A line is run from the scratched-out portion to the right side of the proof sheet, upon which there appears no printed matter. Written upon the margin are these words: “After his (Roosevelt's) service in leg- islation he spent three years on his cattle ranch in the Dakotas. where he did much big game hunting.” ‘WHO CORRECTED THE PROOF? A complete circle in ink is drawn around this writing. The writing is very small. Mann says that it resembles Mr. Roosevelt's handwriting more than it does that. of Secretary Loeb. The corrected proof was forwarded io Judge Deuel, who, Loeb says, has been known to him for many years. Loeb says he cannot find a copy of the accompany- ing letter in the files of the White House, He says he has a slight recollection of having written to Judge Deuel. Jerome had seen a copy of the letter written by Loeb to Colonel Mann In whick the copy of Fads and Fancies presented to Mr. Roosevelt was returned. Jerome teld Colonel Mann that he should produce this letter in court. Colonel Mann told Jerome that there was another letter of date December 23, 1903, and also a prooef sheet with corrections made in the White House.. This letter of December 23, 1303, is written upon officia! paper of the White House. . It commences: “My Dear Judge,” and reads about as follows: “I return herewith the corrected proof sheet. Don’t use it in any way to show that the President is recommending the book or the work. You know the reason why. I also’enclose four photographs in- tended for . publication. The first is a picture of Theodére Roosevelt Jr. play- ing’ tennis, in the act of dellvoflns the ball.. The second picture is one of the President's home at-Oyster Bay. The third is a photograph of the President, taken at his coumtry home and on the rorth side of the house. The fourth pic- ture is of the President on his horse, Bleistein. Please give my regards to Mrs, Deuel.” The letter is signed by Loeb and is ad- dressed at the bottem of the page to “The Hon. Joseph M. Deuel." Steps were taken to-day by James W, Osborne, counsel for Norman Hapgood, editor of Colller's. Weekly, in his recent trial on a charge of criminal libel, to fol- Jow up the disclosures made by’ witnesses in the hearing of that case. To-ddy's move is in the @irection of John Doe pro- ceedings. A représentative of Osborne obtained from a bolice magistrate a dozen sub- penas for witnesses whose identity was not disclosed. Osborne's representative told the magistrate that Osborne expect~ to co-operate with District Attorney erome in conducting the. proceedings which, he sald, would be based on the evidence given in the Town Topics case, unnmu&mmmvflhm moned before the Grand Jury.

Governor Magoon said that there are now about 15,000 laborers engaged in the canal work, and 30,000 other employes. In reply to a question concerning the efficiency of the isthmian police, the Gov- ernor <ald: 1 have no hesitation in saying that there is not a house of public gambling or of ill- fame In the canal zone; there have not been any such, nor will there be, The storles concerning the 280 Martinique women now in the zone are dfscredited by the conduct of the Women themselves. They have been watched by the police all the time since their arrival. There have been no arrests and no complaints about them, Of the whole num- r 160 are living with men whom they de- clare to be their husbands. They are attend- g to their ordinary household duties, as ‘would women of their own class in any peace- ful community. The majority of the remaining 120 are employed as domestic servants in the households of res{dents of the canal district. Some of them are in the employ of clergymen. Governor Magoon was asked about the reported importatfon into Panama at the expense of the United States Government of silver candelabra and other fine house fixings. He said: The Panama Rallroad commissaries import and sell such things as they desire to handle. They ar: not bought with Goveérnment money at all. There is no doubt they did import 1000 sult cases. If anything is neaded in that coun- try to pack things in it is & suit case. People wear collars, cuffs and neckties there as else- where,"and they are to be bought, as are per- fumes and the like. Regarding the work on the canal, I ean only say that it speaks for itself. That is outside my province. The men are all busy. They are paid from 14 to 26 cents an hour, silver. The men are housed ir cleanly barracks, with 500 cubic feet of breathing space for = each. From twenty-five to thirty. negroes are housed in one building. More white men are allowed in a single building, but the buildings are larger. They sleep In sanitary cots, some of them 'double-Geckers. The floors In the new buildings are all water tight, most of them being of cement. It was necessary at first to use the old buildings used by the French. They were first repaired, however. More new barracks are going up all the time, and it will not be long before the old ones will be abandoned. SCHWERIN INDUCES TAFT TO RETRACT - WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—Secretary Taft to-day addressed the following letter to Representative Littauer of the House Committee on Appropria- tions: In my testimony before the sub-committee on deficiencles of the Appropriations Commit- tee of the House I made the statement that onme of the reasons why another American line could not easily compete with the Prcific Mail line in the business between Panama and San | Franc! and intermedlate ports, was that the Plullc Mail Comj y had agents at the Central American an aoflm ports and did in a sense a banking bdsiness, furnishing cap- ital to coffee and other planters to assist them in dotng their business, and this gave them the good will and a position of advantage which any other line woyld find grest difflcuity in wresting from them.

CUT IN RATES DUE TO RIVALRY Youtert .. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2).—Lieutenant Governor Alden Anderson, who returned to-night from a pleasure trip to Santa Catalina Island, Is not very enthusiastic about the reduction in rates on deciduous fruits from California to the Chicago and New York markets.
