Seattle, Wash., Jau. 25.—A special from Port Angel at
3:30 o’clock this morning says that the rescue ship Topeka,
with eighteen male survivors of the wrecked steamer Valen-
. . * ■ v
cia has arrived off Cape Beale. Among the saved are five
passengers. The condition of the survivors is pitiable, They
were taken from a raft, and the transfer to the Torpeka was
attended with the greatest danger, as a heavy sea was run
ning. The rescued men said that another raft had been
launched from the Valencia, and the Topeka immediately
began a search for this, but it could not be found. (
The rescue of the eighteen persons who 'came in oil the
Topeka reduces the number of victims of the Valencia disas
ter to about 122. There were 155 persons on the steamer.
Fifteen reached Cape Beale in life boats, having gone in
search of help, the number regaining on the Valencia being,
approximately, 140. The rescue of the party of eighteen ori

to 122.

Talladega, Ala., Jan. 24—The stu
dents' strike at Talladega Colelge for
negroes broke ^out anew today,
said that at a conference of the fac
ulty and students it was agreed that
Mr. Parks should remain as superin
tendent of the .farm; but when It came
to putting this in writing to be issued
In a circular, the students again re
volted and resolutely refused to work
under Mr. Parks. President ihce
broke off relations with them, and as
matters now Stand the disruption of
the school may result. It Is reported
on the streets that there Is a rupture
in the faculty, hut* this Is denied by
the president and others, although
they will .not discuss the rfiatter.
The report that Mr. Parks- had a
difficulty with one of the students Is
untrue. That he Is a Southerner Is
the only complaint against him.
Dr. Cooper, one of the officers of
.the American Missionary Society, is
expected here tomorrow, and It Is not
known what course he will pursue.
The officers of the college hope he
will be able to straighten out matters,
ajthough the- association has already
placed^ Itself on record as standing by
the president. If the colelge has to he
closed.
Many of the striking students nre
still in the city and can be seen on
the streets in groups, together with
local negroes, and they all seem to be
greatly excited. t ’
Some of the former students,
preachers and school' teachers, are
here, and some are with the strikers
and others with the’ faculty.
Talladega College is a large institu
tion, owning four v or five hundred thou
sand dollars’ worth of property. A
late communication from the college
this afternoon stated that the school
had been running today minus half of
Its students.

Where Patronage Doss Not Justify
Service, Is Postoffice Department’s
Determination.
Washington, Jan. 24. —In replying
to numerous inquiries, Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster-General Degraw has
indicated that purpose of the depart
ment in connection with an Inspection
of rural free.deiivery routes which is
in progress with a view to discontin
uing or reducing 1 the service of such
of them as show little patronage. In
answering the inquiries, Mr. Degraw
has replied substantially as follows:
In discovering that there Is a lack
of patronage on a given route, consid-
slderatlon is given first to the possi
bility of increasing the Interest In the
service on the route; second, to the
possibility of rearranging the route
so as to Increase the patronage; third,
to the possibility of establishing every
other day service in lieu of daily ser
vice, and, last, to Its discontinuance
where the conditions are such that the
expenditure is unwarranted. While
no fixed rule as to the amount of mall
which should be handled on a rural
route has been adopted, still the de
partment feels that the average rural
route should handle 3,000 pieces of
mail per month with a possible mini
mum of 2,000. Tiie expenditure In
volved In oi orating the service ,on a
given route might not be warranted,
even though the minimum of 2,000
pieces of mall per month were han
dled, where It was found that a consid
erable number of the possible patrons
were not availing themselves of the
benefits of the servtcp.
