SEA SAVAGES

WASHINGTON, December Rear
Admiral Robley D. Evans, commander
in chief of the Asiatic fleet, has dis.
patched the gunboat Annapolis to
Tamsui, Formosa, to make a thorough
investigation into the attack upon the
crew of the American ship Benjamin
Sewall, which was abandoned October
9TH about forty miles southeast of the
island of Botel Tabago. Upon the re-
suit of the mission of the Annapolis
will depend the decision of the State
Department as to whether an inquiry
of the Toxic Government will be neces-
sary.
Official details of the search for the
missing boats crew from the wreck
of the Benjamin Sewall, made by the
Don Juan de Austria and the Will
mington, are contained in reports re-
ceived at the Navy Department. On
the arrival of these gunboats at South
Cape, Formosa, the Don Juan de Aus
tria was ordered to proceed to Botel
Tabago, where it was learned three
japanese shipwrecked sailors from the
Benjamin Sewall were to be found.
One of these told the story of their
experience to Lieutenant-Comm
Denfield, commanding the Don Juan de
Austria, briefly to this effect:
The Benjamin Sewall sailed from
Singapore for Shanghai with a cargo
of teak. When three days out she
was struck by a typhoon and lost all
three masts. The captain gave the
order for all hands to abandon the
ship. Aoki, who tells the story, went
in a boat in charge of the chief officer,
together with the third mate and his
wife, two japanese seamen, two Ma
Mia seamen, an American negro, a
Chinese cook, a Chinese carpenter and
a Russian seaman.
Shortly before sunset on October
10th, when five miles from the north
shore of the island, they were attacked
by four canoes, each manned by about
twelve savages, armed with knives.

rowing with three oars and also had

this is soon followed by a peculiar

NAMES ARE LOST
FROM PETITION
Claim Is Made That
Colma Cannot Be In
corpOrated.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDWOOD CITY. Sept. 1s.-The pro-
ceedings for the incorporation Of the town
OF Colma will be resumed before the
Board OF Supervisors az their meeting on
Monday, al which time some definite ac-
iion will probably be taken.
A large number of persons who orig
iDally signed the petition for incorpora-
ton have withdrawn their names there
from and those who are opposing the in
corporation claim that with these names
taken OF less than the number required
by law remain.
If the board finds this to be the fact
the matter will have to be abandoned so
far as these proceedings are concerned.
Should the board determine that the le-
gal number of signers remains upon the
petition the Supervisors will have the
power TO reduce the size OF the territory
desired to be incorporated, and as ma
jority Of the board is unfavorable to the
scheme IL may be that the limits will be
so contracted that they will contain less
than the requisite 500 inhabitants.
AS to whether the territory shall be in
corporated or not is for the electors Of
that territory to decide at an election
called for the purpose of submitting this
very question. The board cannot say
that the territory shall or shall not IN
corporate. Ii can say, however. how
much Of this territory shall be allowed
to become d municipality. and having this
power II is understood that It viii be ex-
ercised to such an extent that incorpora-
ton will be out OF the question.
Those favora BILE to the proceedings re-
alize that 1t is possible that the board
may take such action and intimate that
the. matter may be taken into court TO
determine the extent Of he boards pow
ers. The present outlook is for q stormy
session on Monday.

THE PASSING OF THE SWORD.

Take away the sword" wrote Bull wer Lytton. States can be saved without it." Colonel Wagner. of the United States army. echoed the words but not the sentiment. Lytton was for abstract peace. Wagner thinks of the peace one fights for.
 The sword has been the center of long-living legendry-as the traditions of Arthur and of Sir Galahad and the drawing from rock sheaths of the blades that marked one a coming king and the other "noblest knight in all the world" But Colonel Wagner never minds this. The sword. he declares. "is merely an anticipated nuisance"-chiv- airy save the mark, He is willing to leave the weapon as a picturesque ad- junct to secret society equipment. a comparatively harmless tool for Ger man student duelists and q darling ac- cessory to dramatic starring. But for practical modern war no more of it.
 The cOlonels point seems to be that smokeless powder and invisible uni 'orms are of no avail if swords flash k:g in the air are to be endured as tell tales to the enemy. This is in logica' accord with progress from the spectacs ular to the business-like in war. It Is probably necessary and well that the last flicker of the picturesque in sol diering shall be caught from the bright vanishing blade.-New York World.

Cassatt counts on thirteen more active years before he shall call himself an old man His age today is GA. Thirteen more will put him at 77-still young. He looks as if he might live to be 100. "In the next thirteen years" says his friend, MT. Cassatt will put the Penn sylvania all through New England Long Island, New Jersey and New York "ity. Not an ounce of coal will be burr cd between Philadelphia and the more eastern points. The entire system will be electric. l expect to see electric trains running between New York and Philadelphia in 1906. We will have a six track read, with a speed LOO miles an hour.
