The body Of an unknown white
man, apparently twenty-five years
old, and Of excellent appearance, was
found in the fish nets near Hampton
Thursday afternoon, The. man sue
cecdcd in reaching the nets alive, as
his hands were claspcd in q death grip
over the head lines, while THE coso-
ner said from indications the man
died from exposure rather" than
drowning. He wore underwear and
sox bearing the name "E l.. Tamillo,"
which was written in indeliblc ink.
The impression is that he fell over
board during the storm Of Tuesday
from some steamer or launch and
died from exposure after hanging on
to the fish nets through the cold Of
the past twenty-four hours.

GLASS BOTTOM BOATS.
Inventor Converts Plaything of Tour

Oakland. CAL, Nov. 3.-The play
thing of tourists is to be made into
deadly war machine. Glass bottom
boats, which take thousands Of Cali
fornia visitors yearly over the wa
tiers of Monterey Bay and Avalon
so they can see the marine gardens
beneath, are to be used to chase the
U-boats from the seas.
This is the information given out
by Col. John S. Irby, new surveyor
of customs of the port Of the San
Francisco, who made the disclosure
in a recent talk before the Adver-

Of Commerce. Col. Irby said:

The Local Strike.

The District Commissioners are at the
end of their resources in the matter of
the street railway strike now in prog
ress. Neither as Commissioners of the
District nor as public utility commits
sion have they any power to compel ad-
.iustment of differences. They have
gone perhaps even beyond their strict
jurisdiction in their commendable eff
forts to bring about settlement, both
IN advance of the strike and since il be-
gan. Unfortunately they have failed.
All they have to do with the matter now
IS to grant the company that seeks to
comply with the terms of its franchise
the fullest possible measure of police
protection in the operation of the lines
1t has been suggested that the act Gre
ating the public utilities commission be
amended to give the Commissioners
power to act as board of arbitration
whenever disputes arise between public
service corporations and their employees
The present situation assuredly suggests
the wisdom Of such n move There is
now no way TO prevent serious public
losses and discomforts and dangers
whenever the employers and workers
come 10 issue on conditions of service
or wages.

In their quarrel neither the railroads
nor the railroad brotherhoods show any
consideration as yet for the public. As
when the controversy was taken to Con-
gress last August, selfshness still ami
mates both sides. The railroads are still
talking about the amount Of money nee
essary to pay the bills involved in the
demands of the brotherhoods, while the
brotherhoods can see nothing but higher
wages for themselves. Mr.. Vanderbilt's
famous exclamation still runs. 'The

and Electric Company is operating its
lines with fair degree Of regularity
during the day, but is unable to main
tain its service after nightfaH. In fact,
it does not attempt to run the cars in
the darkness on account of the risk of
destruction and injuries to passengers
and crews. Having demonstrated the or
ganization of force sufficient to keep
the cars running on approximate sched
ule in the daytime the railroad company
is in position to declare that its fail
ure to complete its contract with the
District by operating at night is due to
the lack of protection against molesta-
ton. Yet this lack of protection is not
a matter of reproach to the Commits
sioners or the police department. In
the circumstances it would be next to
impossible to run the lines after dark
in entire safety, even if the whole po-
lice force were put on the job of watch
ing the tracks.
In these circumstances the public con-
tinues to suffer inconvenience and loss
of time and extra expense for trans
portation. It hopes for settlement from
day to day. 1t is enduring its privations
with eommendable patience and philoso-
ply, and as the days pass without set
tlement it adjusts to conditions. But, of
course, this cannot continue indefinitely.
Some settlement must be effected. by
the collapse Of the strike or surrender
by the railroad company or by the com
promise of differences. Both sides are
losing enormously. as well as the pub
lie. The only gamers from this situa-
tion are the strikebreakers, mostly men
from out of town, with no stake in the
community.

Russia's Revolution.

| Russia, slow in action, has struck
swiftly in revolution. A complete change
has Been effected in the internal affairs
of the empire with an amazing mini
mum of bloodshed. The ear has been
defied by the duma and has been forced
to abdicate in favor of his son, under
the regency of his brother. the Grand
Duke Michael. Members of the minis
try, reactionaries of strong pro-Ger-
manic tendencies and sympathies, have
been deposed and imprisoned. A new
ministry has been established, the most
Stoutly Russian in character perhaps
ever in office. For the present the gov
ernment is in the hands of committee
of safety, named by the duma. The peo-
pie have at last struck off the shackles
of autocracy.
OF chief Importance in this matter is
the effect upon the general war in Eu-
rope. That Russia is made the more
strongly anti German by the change is
accepted. Suspicion against Sturmer,
former premier and later minister of
the interior, has always been frankly ex-
pressed. He was distinctly accused of
the Vaccinations with Germany last
autumn whereby it was expected to bring
Russia to the point of separate peace.
His displacement by Trepoff, in turn
succeeded by Golitzine, was hailed as
! an assurance against break in the
! entente alliance. But in some way not
! yet plain Sturmer became again a mem
Der of the government, with the impor-
terror. This fact alone denoted that the
pro-German influences around the car
were still potent.
1t is plain that Nicholas, however per-
sonal1y beloved by his people, was not
trusted. Ho has never been man Of
strong will: His inclinations have al
ways been excellent, but the influences
around him have swayed him unduly.
The reactionaries always had his ear
last and with the greatest effect. His
wife. a German princess, has never been
regarded by the Slavic population with
favor. Michael, on the other hand, is
popular He is stoutly anti-German,
anti-reactionary. He has consistently
opposed the group closest to the ear
| and to his brothers final decisions un-
der that influence. His selection is the
plainest indication of the spirit Of the
T. volution.
German hopes Of weaving Russia from
the entente, which ran high a few
months ago; to be set back With the
Staying of the monk Rasputin and the
deposition Of Sturmer, are now at low
ebb. 1t is unlikely that the Russian peo-
pie, having demonstrated their power of
overturn, will tolerate any tendency in
the government toward Germanic in
| trigue. Whether a more efficient ad-
! ministration Of the army and the pro-
vision of more abundant munitions fol-
| low is yet to be seen. A poorer admin
| istration than that which has operated
since the war began is hard to conceive.
