rowly escaped drowning yesterday even
ing off the westerly shore of Bay Farm
Island The boys were out opposite
Broadway and close to the west end Of

was upset and the two youthful mariners
were thrown into the water. The water
at this point is deep and the current very
strong. Sparks, who is a fairly good
swimmer, managed to keep afloat and to
assist his less fortunate companion, but
Ghilieri weakened rapidly and his COM
panion had about given up in despair
when their predicament was discovered
by Harry Rosseter, who went to their
assistance. The halfdrowned youths were

STRATTON WANTS TO
SEE FRIENDS FIRST
Not Prepared to Outline His
Future Action.
Is Not Tired of Public Life, but Certain
Requirements Must Be Met if
He Run Again

at liberty to give positive opinion about
my political future l am not tired of
public life. l am pleased with it, but that
does not say that I am so deeply in love
with life as Senator that cannot di-
ful trip and the most important historic
fact l discovered was the marked respect
and fratecnal feeling that is apparent in
Britain toward this nation. Since the
Spanish war this feeling has grown mar
Velously and is now deep rooted in the
British people. An American flag at a
theater is sufficient at any time to raise
the house"
Senator Stratton will not be a candi-
date to succeed himself. The contin-
gencies to which he alludes are such
that when he has surveyed the field there
IS no doubt he will retire. Before leaving
he required certain assurances that some
political moves would develop along GER
tain lines. These developments have not
gone the desired way, and so a new SEN
ator viii have to be chosen. The only
candidate who has yet appeared Is Assem-

Senator Stratton, the author of the now

politics in Alameda County and the Sen

and If the melodious selections are
brought out agreeably half of the success
of the performance is achieved. If, how
ever, the vocal efforts are not within the

must be considered a failure. This latter
fact would have been almost the sad fate
of the Tivoi performance had not Tom

INCREASE IN OUR TONNAGE.
Vessels in COnstwise Trade Made n
Splendid Showing.

Washington. Nov, 1.-THE annual report
of Mr.. Chamberlain, the commissioner of
navigation, shows that American shipping
industries shared in the general prosperity
of the country during the past fiscal year.
The returns disclose more satisfactory
conditions than those of any former year
in the bureaus history. The total docu-
nented tonnage on June 90, 1899, comprised
q, 12S vessels, of 1854 ,25S gross tons, which
is our largest since 1865.
The tonnage operating under our coast
ing laws, 21S97 vessels of 40l5,s92 gross
tons, is the largest in our history and
greater than the coasung tonnage of any
other nation. Our steam tonnage, 2,476,-
oil tons, for the first time exceeds the
tonnage of all other craft.
In the rest of the world steam tonnage
eleven years $50 exceeded sail tonnage. Our
tonnage registered for foreign trade re-
mains small and last year American yes
sells carried a fraction less than nine per
cent. of our exports and imports, the
