In his report, Professor Davidson sai there were twenty-four separate and dis- tinct dangers threatening vessels on coast of California near San F Bay. These were: Noonday R Bonita Channel 1, Fort t Rock 1, Arch Rock 1, Shag Rock 1, Blossom Rock 1, Mission' Rock 3, Invin: cible Rock 1, Whiting Rock 1, Fifteen-feet Rock 1, Commission Rock 1, Mile Rock 4 | (2 visible), Mara Island and Navy-yard 1 Two of these are newly discovered, hav- | nt Leary of amer ing been observed by Lieute the United States Coast S McArthur dari the rock lies three fathoms the fairway line thro: Three steam vessels struck on this rock, cated before. % Professor Davidson exp! d that he had spent much time searching records of wrecks. His list, he said, was not com- plete, as some of the insurance companies objected to telling him the Josses they had paid. Bur he had made a list and every item in it was correct in every particular. Between Bodegs Head and Santa Cruz there have been 348 wrecks. From Point faif Moon Bay there have been isco Bay and within five miles north and south of it there have been 224 wrecks. Yet the Government $100,000 in the last forty- ing dangers, and not a e 1874. Ana lately it has that there was no immediate removing these menaces to ock, Fort Paint and Mile Francisco Bay there have on Bay rock paid for its removal. g of Bonita Channel he said sable as the sea never it. The cost of removing the discovered by Lieutenant Leary not exceed $35,000. This, as the committee recommended, should be done. It also recommended the placing of prop- erly marked fairway signals on the south shore of the Gold Gate for the vessels entering or leaving the Bonita'Channel. Of the proposed discontinuance of the telegraph " line from Point Reyes to this City, he sa mmittee has heard with much sston- and uneasiness that the Government atemplated discontinuing the telegraph m San Francisco to Point Reyes, now The v the Weather Bureau and for reporting n danger. The committee learns from an authentic list of wrecks and disasters at Po Reyes head and the immediate vicinity Lere have been sixteen total wrecks and een disasters to vessels ashore. e report then ‘gave a list of fourteen sters off Point Reyes, the losses on whnich footed up' $982,300. As San Fran- cisco is the nearest place to obtain relief tugs, & telegraph line in case of a wreck would often mean the saving of lives and treasure. Therefore the committee recom- mends that the line, which cost only $540 a year, be retained, and Congress be asked to give $2000 for a house for the operator at Point Reyes. It also recommended that Congress be petitioned to lay a cable between the shore, near Lake Merced, and the south- east furallones, with a station at the sum- mit of the island at the lighthouse, and that a telegraph operator be detailed to report the weather, vessels and disasters. This_would enable news of a disaster on the Farallones to be sent to the City and help secured, whereas in heavy weather a wrecked vessel might be a week in com- munieating with the main land. In emphasizing the importance of this request Professor Davidson said there had been four great ships totally lost on the Farallopes. Oné of them, the Lucas, was lost with twenty-five lives. Another, the Franconia, lost $315,000. In urging a fog vessel for the San Fran- cisco bar he said: The wreck and disasters at the bar have been 29, snd possibly more. Among these 1o less than five pilot-bgats have been lost. On the outside_of Point Bonita 17 vessels have been wr!ckedr, of which 12 were total. Oune of these cost $250,000, and one was damaged to the extent of $83,000. On the outside of Point Lobos there have beén 32 wrecks and disas- ters, of which 22 were total. The committee recommended that the Superintendent of the United States Coast and Geodetic Burvey be requested to place upon the entrance sheet of the bay the lines of cables that cross che bay, and also to mark the area wherein vessels cannot anchor. Professor Davidson explained that he had consulted United States Engineer Major Heuer in regard to the ship chan- nel to Stockton. From him he learned that the official maps do not represent the | actual condition of the channel as to depth. An attempt was made by dredg- | 2 to maintain a depth of at least nine | et at low water, but sometimes only six | e found. Owing to the fact that Stockton is the | of the new railroad it was 1of special value to so enlarge the <l as to allow such vessels as could ¢ in Suisun Bay to go up to Stockton as C. E, Grunsky, a civil engineer well ainted with the matter, had assured cor Davidson that this is possible. ore, the committee suggested : 1 Congress be petitioned togrant the ap- N necessary to CATTY out the recom- [ the United States engineer who | charge the dredging operations for ning of the channel between Stockton n Ba Another t touched on was the dumping of 1se in the bay. ~Professor Daridson reported that vessels were in the habit of dumping their ballast in the decp chaunel near Goat Island. Not only that, but the Harbor Commissioners dropped the refuse of their dredgers in the same spot and thus filled up that portion of the bay. The committee recommended that E allast and refuse be dumped upon tide lands that are being tilled in or which it proposed to fill iu, v A vote of thanks was tendered Professor Davidson for his reports. Mass-Meeting to Be Held Next Monday in Their Behalf. A mass-meeting will be held next Mon- day evening in Metropolitan Temple, in which addresses will be made against the Armenian atrocities, Mayor Sutro will preside, and fifty vice- The_loss to | an honest life had a grim sense of humor | about it.

In rendering opinion the court comments on those points as follows: In this case it is not alleged thet the plaintift was ignorant of the acts of fraud complained of at the time of the commission thereof; nor does it appear that she was ignorant thereof at | the time of her husbands death. Assuming that the statute of limitations would not commence t0 run against her until aiter her husbana’s death, it is not alleged that the fraudulent acts complained of were discovered by her within a period of three years prior to the commence- ment of this action. | In referring to the fact that there was a | misjoinder of parties.the court says: | | Assuming that the matters cherged against | the defendants, Ashton and Jacobs, in refer. | ence to their fraudulent procurement of th | probate of the will of Heydenfeld:, deceased, | constitute a cause of action against them, suel | a cause of aciion is improperly united with the | cause of action asserted against the demurring | | parties. It is clear that the demurring de- | endants are in no way concerned with the re- | sult of the probate proceedings in the estate of | the decessed. Their conveyances were ex- | ecuted by the deceased during his lifetime; whether the will was frandulently probated or the court was imposed upou is & matter of no concern whatever to these defendants. The matters charged against the defendants, Ashton and Jacobe, are inserted in the com- plaint apparently for the purpose of obtaining an order setting aside the probate proceedings in question; indeed this relief is prayed for in the bill. AS these matters in no way relate to the defendants’ demurring or affect the prop- | erty in question claimed by them, Iam of the causes of action herein. | Ten_ days were given the plaintiff to | the sugeestions of the opinion filed. Should previous ignorance of the alleged fraud not be shown, however, another demurrer under the statute of limitations will finish the case. SEALING REGULATIONS. | St : | Fifty Copies Arrive at Last at the“ | Custom-House From Washington. The sealing regulations for 1896 have at last arrived from Washington, abou fifty copies having been received at the | Custom-house. Only two or three: of the Ban Franciseo fleet have put to sea, the others having preferred to wait until copies of the new regulations came. As is pretty well known by this time, the regulations require the sealers to take out special licenses and carry distinctive flags. A recent letter from the Treasury Depart- ment to Collector Wise emphasized the necessity of taking out the licenses whether | | intending to hunt within the area of the | Paris award or not, as any craft caught in | | the award area would be liable to seizure if not possessed of such a license on the pre:umEtion that it was there for the pur- | pose of hunting seals. By the act of Congress of April 6, 1394, giving effect to the award of the Paris Tri- bunal of Arbitration, sealing within the | sixty-mile zone around the Pribilov Isl- ands is positively forbidden, and in the award area it is forbidden during the close season (May, June and Jnlg). Sealing within the waters of the award area is per- mitted at any other time of the year, pro- vided the act and the regulations are complied with as to special licenses, flags, ligitts, loghook entries, reports and char- acter of weapons used. The award area extends from the Pacific Coast westward to the one hundred and eightieth meridian of longitude and its south limit is the thirty- fifth parailel of north latitude. Sealers are in the area as soon as outside the Golden Gate. : Tue important changes in the new regulations are: [First, a requirement that vessels carry at night two vertical lights of patural color in a conspicuous position, at least ten feet above the deck and visible in clear weather at least one mile; second, that all vessels bound for Bering Sea must first report to the revenue cutter officer at Atton gsland or the Deputy Coilector of Customs at Unalaska, which officers shall properly secure under seal the gunsand ammunition of the vesseis so reporting and attest their logbooks, and, third, that all masters of vassels shall report their catches to the Custom-houses at the re- turn ports and verify their logbooks. Their logs must be scrupulously kept in every detail. | ; | ‘Wanted for Forgery. : Philip Posner, a grocer at 337 Hayes street, swore out & warrant in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday for the arrestof Morris Cohen on the charge of forgery..

WANT CAUCASIAN WAYS, Chinese Merchants Organize to Learn Them and -Get Protection. A Mutual Benevolent Association on American Lines, but With Chinese Ideas. Chinatown is ‘‘strictly uo to date,” ac- cording to Tim Cox Esq.,a young Chi- nese who speaks English fluently with a slight French accent, Its latest exempli- fication of the fact above mentioned is the incorporation under the laws of California of a mutual benevolent association to pro- mote matrimony, the rearing of children, good morals and manners, education and charity among its members. This society is to be known as the Tim Yee Kong Sow | Quong | ociation Benevolent of Chung Chew. “The Low Quong Chung Chew is a so- iety that has existed in China for the past 300 years,” Mr. Cox explained vesterday. “Its membership is made up entirely of Low those who can prove themselves lineal de- | scendants of the four great warriors whose fami ames make up. the. .title of the org: Though there are many Tim Cox, the Organizer of Chinatowns’ First Mutual Benevolent Association. n @ photograph.] eligible in San Francisco no society has been orzanized until a month ago.

Mr. Cox marriéd a white girl about five years ago. He says that at the meetings of the society American methods of gov- ernment wiii be discussed.

NEARLY PRECIPITATED A ROW. A Property-Owner Who Would Not Give the Supervisors a Chance to Talk It Over. Tired of being shuffled about by the Board of Supervisors and prodded for its lack of decisive action by the property- owners, the Street Committee of the board has at last taken a determined stand on the question of converting Folsom street into a bituminized boulevard, and at the next regular meeting will ask for an ap- propriation of $35,000 to begin the work at once. | When the committee met yesterday morning G. D. Shadburne and A. B. Maguire, representing the property-owners along Folsom street, were present to press the claims of the boulevard and as- certain why the board had so long delayed action in the matter. Mr. Shadburne said that in the light of recent events it appeared very much to the residents. of the south side of Market street that that portion of the City was beirtg slighted to allow the efforts of the | Street Department to be directed to the | north ‘side. Hé thought that while the | money spent in improving the streets of the north side was being expended in a 00d cause the, south side should not be orgotten and that there was one place where the money could be used to the utmost advantage—the Folsom boulevard. Superyisor Hughes wanted to know whether the property-owners thought that | $25,000 would be sufficient to do the work contemplated. Mr. Maguire replied that | the sum named would not pay the bills by $75,000. - He thought that the board | should appropriate at least $100,000 to do the work. | Supervisor Benjamin protested that in | the present state of the City treasury such | an amount was out of the question as the City’s money was divided into specific funds and none of them could stand a | draft of §100,000. | | | member the association shall also donate | Maguire persisted in demanding tnat the | | amount asked by the property-owners be | { appropriated and in consequence he came | | mear being thrown out of the committee- | { room. is the custém when a petitioner 1 has finished hifs ‘address the bailiif re- quested him to retire so that the commit- tee might haye an. opportuni ii | the matter witiout interrupt | seemed to anger Maguire, for_ | tested loudly against leaving, saying: l ““This is a free country and 1 have aright | he pro- to do as I please. The employe of the board insisted that it was a rule of the committee that peti- tioners should retire while their were being discussed and that he could | await a decision outside.
