almost forgotten in the excitement at

and no one appeared to be looking after
them. Sergeant Lewis 3. Eddy of the
same battery took IL upon himself how
ever, to care for his disabled comrades
so he hired a carriage and took them
down to the park himself. The BOYS felt
that no slight was intended and made as
merry as their crippled condition would
allow after their arrival at the banquet

The project TO construct the memorial
arch at Main and Second South streets
was not carried to completion without
a great deal of labor and a large ex
penditure of money. The estimates for
its construction were originally about
$4,000, but through the generosity of
donors and efficient services of prime
movers, the actual cost was cut down
TO 81, 800. Chairman Barnes of the dec
orations committee credit should be

made the design, drew the plans and

assisted by H. L. A. Culmer of the

whistling. and later. when that was

-HE voters OF this city by voting the
bonds for the extension of Golden
Gate Park yesterday have decreed
that the new year shall mark the
= commencement Of an era OF
nrorress. New San Francisco is no
longer a dream
In every financial center Of the world
the fact is known to-day that san tran-
cisco has taken a big leap forward ana
that an enormous majority Of her citi-
zens have decided that it is their duty
m deveIop the work so we'll begun by the
sturdy pioneers half a century ago. The
victory for the advocates Of progress Is
so marked that were the battle 70 be
fought over again the small minority
would doubtless vote 10 make II unani-
nous.
The great public interest in the ques-
ton decided at the polls yesterday Is
shown by a comparison with the new
charter election held in May OF last year.
lust three thousand more voters have
nroved that they are more interested in
park extensions than In a new charter
and there are nearly eight thousand
votrs more anxious for parks than there
were anxious for a new charter year
and a half ago; and over four thousand
less voters are opposed TO parks than
were opposed to the new charter. The
true Significance of these figures IS that
there is 80 per cent greater public interest
in the material progress of the city than
in obtaining the much-vaunted new
organic law that in few days will cause
the CITY Hall TO turn a somersault.
For a special election there was an un-
usually large vote. The most sanguine
optimist only gambled that thirty thou
sand voters would visit the polls, while
many believed that twenty thousand
would be nearer correct. The higher fig
IRE was all but reached. The returns
show that the attempts TO overthrow the

tioneIism failed entirely, for In some OF

BLOODY CIVIL WAR WAGED

raging among the natives of Kiriwina

chief was defeated and eleven villages in
all were destroyed. with heavy slaughter
Rev. S. B. Fellows, a Wesleyan mis-
sionary. stationed at Kiriwina. writes a
lengthy detailed account TO an Australian
paper, telling of the civil war from an
eyewitness standpoint. For several
years, he says. there has been discomfort
among the people because of the rapa-
cious greed OF Enamakala. the boss chief,
in levying heavy tribute on food supplies
