strive to show us the benefit OF these
things. 1t is the peoples duty TO realize
the importance Of the situation and see
what is now possible, with no eXtravagant
outlay. The wharf is needed and is now
for the first time rendered practicable
This improvement will b. on city land
and will become city property; therefore
the municipality should be the leading
contributor. Still, this is no reason why
benefited citizens and landowners should
not encourage the great work by subscrib-
ing funos.
We are apt to see only one purpose OF
this wharf viz, the business it will foster
and create But wo should not lose sight
Of the recreation side of the case Thous-
ands Of dollars are laudibly spent in Gre
ating vast resorts of health and pleasure
along the Brandywine. Parks are es-
sential to city life; and why are not facili-
ties for river excursions, and for boating
and fishing about the bulkhead as equally
essential7
DO not give all attention to the wood
lands along the Brandywine, and the
wharves along the Christiana The Della
ware river and its facilities for both
business and pleasure is also our heri-
tage. It stands ready now TO give us
health. wealth and pleasure. Shall we ac-
cept the offered gift?
Think of this bulkhead 25 feet wide, and
longitudinal with the stream, from the
Chrlstiana TO Edge Moor, and well out
towards the westerly channel. What a
grand harbor can be made between this
structure and the shore at the Christiana
end We should negotiate at once with
the government to leave this portion OF
the inclosure untitled, and for a great an
chorage basin for vessels Of the smaller
type.
The Cherry Island front is TO become
the city's great harbor and shipping dis
trlct. Shall we tactfully meet the present
emergency. or shall we stand aloof and
receive that which charitably or by
chance falls into our lap from national
benshcence? George A. Talley.

A Chester dispatch under date Of De-
cember II says:

entrance through a rear window. Po-
licemen Leary and Childs heard the

mansion, the thief using a ladder to
reach a second-story window, which he
had pred open when discovered.
Mr.. Baldt is president Of the Baldt

That's a very neat point, and shows

Four Fishermen Lost Their Lives.
Highland Light, Mass, Dec. 12. -
Four of the 20 members of the crew
of the Boston fishing schooner Fish
Hawk lost their lives after deserting
their vessel, which had struck and
was pounding heavily on Peaked Hill
Bars at the north end Of Cape Cod.
Five others, including Captain BLY,,
who followed their four companions
over the side, had a severe six hour,
tussle against a freezing sea and gale
in a small dory, but managed 10 reach
Provincetown harbor The deaths and
suffering would have been avoided
had all stayed by their vessel, which
had a miraculous escape and four
hours later was safely anchored in

teras and Crew clung to Rigging,
With Their Clothing Coated With
Iee-owned at somer's Point, N. J.
Norfolk, Va, Dec. 1.-THE three
masted schooner Montana. Captain
Booye, from Baltimore to Charleston,
S. c., with a cargo of salt Cor prob
ably coal), stranded Saturday night
at Pea Island, N. c., life saving sta
tion, so miles north Of Cape Hat
teras, during a heavy northerly gale.
Within 20 minutes after the vessel
stranded she was full oe water and
awash, so that the crew, consisting
of Captain Booye and six men, were
forced to take to the rigging, where
they remained until Sunday afternoon,
when six Of the seven men we're res
cued by crews of Pea Island, New Inlet
and Bodies Island life saving stations.
One man, Henry Edwards, was frozen
to death, and was lashed in the rigging
in such a manner that he could not be
reached, and his body is still aboard
the ship, hanging in the rigging, head
downward. One other member Of the
crew was almost frozen to death when
he was rescued by the members of the
life saving crews, but probably will re-
cover, although his condition is very
serious.
Great difficulty was experienced in
landing the crew, owing to the fact
that the vessel had sunk and a heavy
sea was running at the time. The
freezing weather hampUed the work
Of rescue, and the seamen were so
overcome by exposure and exhaustion
that only two of those in the rigging
were able to assist in hauling the whip
line aboard the vessel.
Again and again the line was shot
out, and one by one the men were
taken off the ship in the breeches
buoy, after a most narrowing expert
ence of more than 10 hours spent in
the rigging Of the sinking vessel in a
temperature much below freezing.
Their clothing was coated with thick
layers of ice. An attempt will be made
later to bring the body of Henry Ed
wards, the sailor who was frozen to
death, ashore.

YEAR SMALL COLuM@ OF COLO
NAL TROOPS HAS BEEN
ANMiHlLATEc.
NOT HEARD FROM IN FOUR WEEKS
KNOWN THAT SUPERIOR FORCE
OF NATIVES REITERATED IN
THAT DIRECTION.

Berlin, April 1s-Colonial circles
have been greatly concerned about
the Glasenapp column since the report
OF the battle at Okaharui, German
Southwest Africa which was received
in Berlin March 49, as large party,
probably 1000, of the HererOs, defeat
ed at the battle of Onganjra, retreat
ed in the direction where Glaseaapp
was last heard of. 1t is feared that
his small column of about 800 men
has been ann;hilated by a superior
force OF the enemy.
Up to a late hour in the day no
details had been received from the
scene OF the battle at Okatumba, al
though a dispatch had been anXiously
awaited throughout the day. Among
the killed at OkatumBa was Captain
Won Bagenski.
The recent severe losses in officers
and priyates, together with the fact
that large masses Of Hereros are still
under arms and capable OF resisting
German artillery attacks for hours,
have created the impression here that
a mistake was made originally in send
ing too small a force TO Africa The
newspapers now say that the emperor
was right when he proposed to send
5000 men under command of gem
eral. Unfortunately, ii is added, the
colonial and military authorities
caused different counsels TO prey2'!

BANK OUT OVER $4,000.
Trusted Employe Of New York Institu-
ton Missing.

New York, April 1S.-Reports of a
defalcation by an employe of the Chem
ical National bank, one of the largest
financial institutions here, have been
cleared up by statement by Cashier
Francis Halpin. 1t is to the effect that
a trusted man, whom he names, dis
appeared ten days ago after faithfully
serving the bank for twenty-five years
and that investigation of his accounts
discloses that they are "out of proof
to the extent of s22. .53S.97 The miss
ing man was a clerk in the check de-
partment. The case contains some
peculiar features, inasmuch as he did
not handle any money or securities
but was employed only in the depart
ment mentioned. His duties were,
with others, 10 take the checks brought
in from the mornings clearances, etc,
verify them and enter them in day
books. from which the amounts were
entered in the dodgers
Precisely how the distractions were
made is something of a mystery, for
the bank officials while discovering
the failure of his hooks to prove" by
more than s22 600, have been unable
TO discover any vouchers missing.

NO GREAT DAMAGE DONE.
Result of Fridays Bombardment Of
Port Arthur.

Port Arthur, Friday, April 15.-At 6
o'clock this morning a small Japanese
squadron appeared on the horizon and
soon drew off. but at about 10 O'Clock
q hostile fleet. numbering twenty-three
vessels. was again sighted. They
..ormed in two divisions, one taking
up a position behind Cape Liaoshan,
sheling the shore and the Tiger penin-
sula, while the other bombarded the
Golden hill and other batteries from
a point opposite the roadstead. The
fire was continued intermittently until
! o'clock in the afternoon. The Rus
sian ships replied with an indirect fire
and made good practice, one shot
damaging a Japanese cruiser. Accord
ing to some reports two Japanese
ships were injured. There was no
damage done to the forts or the town.
Some Chinese were killed and a few
Chinese and Russians were wounded.

NOT OFFICIALLY ADMITTED.
Belief Growing in Russia That Japs
Sunk the Petropaviovsk.

st. Petersburg, April 1S.-The mys-
terry OF the sinking of the battleship
Petropavlovsk has not been cleared
up. That she touched mine placed
by Japanese torpedo boats during the
night is not officially admitted. but
there is growing disposition in un-
official quarters to accept this as pos
sibly being the true explanation. That
the mine was laid by a ruse OF the
Japanese is generally believed, al
though some speculation is INDUCED
In which may almost be described as
fantastic. For example, the possibll-
lty of the Introduction OF an Internal
machine into the coal bunkefs is ad-
vanced as an explanation of the ex-
plosion which undoubtedly occurred
ON board the battleship The only
thing affirmed with absolute certainty
Is that il was not Japanese shell, as
no fighting was in progress.

FILED WITH STATE DEPARTMENT
Protest Against Russian Prohibition of
Wireless Telegraphy.

Washington, April 1S.-One of the
principal wireless telegraph companies
has filed at the state department a
protest against the decree of Admiral
Alexief that newspaper correspond
ents using wireless telegraphy in the
Far East during the war shall be
treated as spies. The state depart
ment has taken the protest under con-
sideration, hut, following the almost
unbroken practice, il probably will de-
cline to take any action on a hypothet-
ical case If an American citizen Is
arrested by the Russian officials the
state department Immediately will lay
down a line OF policy 10 meet this
novel departure in international law.
1t is realized that newspaper CORE
spondents using wireless telegraphy
from the neighborhood Of naval opera
tions might unwittingly give informa-
tion of great value to the enemy.
whose vessels, being also equipped
with wireless telegraph instruments,
might readily take up messages sent
to a shore station.
