Signaling NJ Sea.

Rear Admiral Colomb, writing IN allu-
sion 10 a recent disastrous collision In the
channel, calls attention to the present
very defective methods Of signaling al
sca. and points out how impossible Il
often is for one ship to ascertain tlse In.
tentions Of another. He mentions one
thing, which is not generally known
namely, that the board OF trade forbids
the mercantile marine TO use that system
Of speech by signal which has been for a
long time common 10 every navy in the
world. He also pleads for some signal
which will not only attract attention "a
''disiress," but will also Indicate 10 some
extent the nature of that distress.

Kite dying. which is universal in thia
country, ceases suddenly on the 18th IL
the first Corean mouth. and the next day
stone fights take lev place a. the chief
public amusement In the eastern part
u Seoul, the capital. there ara large
open spaces that have not been built
upon, and here occur the Eaost serious
and interesting fights. One section Of
the city il pltted against another, but
any one can take hand on either side
at pleasure. There are no recognized
leaders, but the mass Of E-iiters readily
follows the lead of any one who shows
himself TO be little more reckless than
the rest
Two mobs, consisting of fifty, seventy
or hundred men each. are drawn up
against each other, with an interval Of
perhaps fifty yards between them. There
liz an ineessant shower of stones, and
each mans business is to hit as many
men as he can, and especially to avoid
all the stones directed at him. From
ten TO twenty men on each side are
armed with stout clubs and wear thick
wadded helmets. These form the skir.
mishing line. They sally out from their
respective sides and, meeting in mid.
career, strike out viciously at each
others heads, each man holding up his
cloak with his left hand as a shield to
ward of the blows OF his adversary.
After the club fight has lasted about
thirty seconds one or the other begins
to give way, which IN the signal for q
rush OF the others. Almost invariably
the other side breaks and runs, and
sometimes are chased into their houses.
but generally some of the pursuing
party press too closely ON the fugitiyes.
Then the latter suddenly turn and deal
n few staggering blows. which check
the pursuers, and in few seconds the
tables are turned. and these who mo
nient ago are flushed with victory are
now IN full flight with their enemies.
Thus the battle goes back and forth
across the fields, while the neighboring
eInbankments are crowded with specta-
tors. The effect of the laundering
cheers OF the spectators upon the com
| batants Is marvellous.
! They charge upon each other as If In
actual battle, and show what would be
bravery If exerted in some useful cause.
Near the river are numerous villages
numbering from 100 to 500 houses each.
They are situated along the banks at in
tervals Of abont half a mile. These keep
up continual series of fights among

seizing anything ON which they can lay

much Of this "stand-and-deliyer" assess
ment business as they can.
They want no more of it.
The Mission people-thOusands Of them
are protesting against the job that lies in
the extension Of Sixteenth, Seventeenth,
Eighteenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth aud
Twenty-fEst streets.
It is one Of the biggest jobs on record In
this city.
Il is proposed 10 levy assessments on sixty
blocks to get the money 70 enrich commits
sfoners and contractors.
II is a rank injustice and the iobbers
know it.
They and their jobbery must be swept
aside
Here is a fair example.
John Smith owns a dfty-fOot lot on Guer-
zero street, say near Tventy-hTst
Smith worked hard 10 get that lot and it
took him several years 10 acquire an un-
eouded title TO that bit Of land.
But ten years ago the struggle was over
and Smith began to breathe easy. In his
old age he would not be turned out OF doors,
and should he die the next day his wife and
little ones would have Q roof over their
heads at any tate.
Now comes the city improvements" and
street extensions.
Twenty-frst street is cut through and
graded right past his door. A sewer is put
in and gas and water pipes laid perma-
nenily.
All these things improved the value of
Smiths lot many per cent, but 1t came
pretty tough at the time, for il cost Smith
and his immediate Deighb0rs whole lot OF
ready coin in the way Of assessments.
But it was fair and right that they should
pay for these improvements, for they were
the ones Immediately benefited by them.
And Smith and his neIghbors paid for the
assessments ungrudgingly.
But now Sixteenth street Is TO be cut
The morning call., 1892-09-07

an assessment to improve their property,
and Smith and his neighbors didn't ask
them TO. And now, why. in all fairness,
are Smith aud his neighbors asked to pay
for the improvements on some one else 5
property?
That's the question.
The answer Is, leaving out tAa fairness,
that the pr0perty-owners who will be i'm
mediately benefited by the extension OF
Sixteenth and Nineteenth streets and all
the other streets are not men enough 10 pay
their own bills.
They want other people 10 STAND Tue cost
OF their improvements.
That's where the shoe pinches, and the
State law, enacted last year, helps them
out TO a certain degree.
But right here the kicker comes In, and
he is so numerous and so vigorous, and his
cause IS so righteous, that the chances are
against the big tract-h0lders having their
property improved at other peoples ex-
pense.
All that vast tract of land-most of it high
hills-lying. say, west of Douglas street
and extending to the ocean is owned by
corner-lot spectators and real-estate BOOM
eTS.
This does not apply TO all of it. but to
most Of il, the small holders being in a very
small minority.
Perhaps too. all the big owners are not
spectators aud boomers, but at all events
lney are people WHO Nhnt SOlholAIuS 4OL
nothing.
Ninety per cent Of all that land is owned
in forty and fifty acre tracts, and as soon as
the Nineteenth, Twentieth. Twentyhrst,
Twenty and Twenty-third streets
extension scheme has gone thrOugh-if 1t
ever dOes-these tracts Will be laid out in
lots ana put on the market.
The extension of these streets through
these big tracts Will vastly increase their
value.
And will not materially add to the finan-
cial value OF 25-ioot lot on Valencia and
Nineteenth streets
Yet that 25-foot lot must. under the deci-
sion of the commission, pay its pro rata
assessment.
1t Is wrong.
Said one Of the kickers to a CALL man
yesterday:
I'D rather pay an assessment twice the
size for the macadamiZng Of Market street
or the improvement OF Van Ness avenue.
IT'S all nonsense TO talk OF opening
streets over barren tracts when the down.

ditOn.
