RELIEF FOR SAN FRANCISCO.
Railroad to Be Built to Salt Lake {,
Compete With Southern Pacific.

Railroad to Be Built to Salt Lake to
Compete With Southern Pacific.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 12.-The Chronicle
tomorrow will say: A number of the
wealthiest men of this city have been
meeting together fer the past six months
considering plans and subscribing money
to commence the construction of n COM
peting railroad. They have pledged them
city and Salt Lake. Each of them
has agreed to put up the sum of
$780, 900, and each of them has already
paid into well-known local bank the sum
of SIS, 900 in cash. The men engaged in
this enterprise are Alvinza Hayward, s.
Hobert, James G. Fair, James Phelan, Z.
L. G. Steel, A. L. HaIlidie, w. w. Monta-
que, Adam Grant, Joseph Donahoe, the
PARROT estate, Henry D. Sontag, J. B.
Stetson and many others.
In the agreement signed by these men
they pledge themselves to build the road,
and they agree not to sell the road or to
enter into any traffic agreement with any
competing line for period of at least ten
years from the time the road is completed.
Engineers are in the field at the present
moment, and preliminary surveys have
been submitted to the executive committee.
So, 600, 900 cash has been subscribed, and
the balance of the money required will be
aised by floating bonds and selling the
stock of the company. Alvinza Hayward,
in an interview today admitted that he
was interested in this enterprise, but
declined to say anything further on the
subject

Great Fire at Tokyo.

TOKYO, April PA fire here on Sunday
destroyed 5000 houses. Fifty persons are
known to have lost their lives, and a num-
Der are still missing.
Tokyo, the capital and largest city in Japan,
is the old Yeddo. It became the capital in 1859.
and has population of 100000. Nearly all of
the $50, 600 houses are OF bamboo, fTail as card
board, for earthquakes are so frequent that stone
and brick structures would be thrown down.
So the Japs make bricks and ship them to Seat
tie, but cannot use them. The houses have an
average existence of six years. :" Fire."
says local proverb, sis the blossom
of Tokyo" At the first signal of
alarm the more costly objects are carried
of to the nearest fireproof warehouses erected
against such contingencies. Some 10000 houses
were consumed by confagration 1924 But a
far more terrible fire broke out in the year 1857,
when many as 107 900 persons persisted in the
flames In 1868 there was another great fire.
which consumed nearly the whole OF the city.
Tokyo has also suffered greatly from earth
quakes. epidemics, typhoons and foods. The
earthquake of lib is said to have destroyed
over 1900 souls. and no less than 10000, chiefly
of the poorer classes, were swept away by the
fearful epidemic OF 1773. On November H. 1855,
the last great earthquake took place. and on
this occasion over 1900 dwelling houses. be-
sides 200 freproof structures, were leveled to
the ground. The loss of life was estimated at
more than 100000

Countess Russell In the Skirt Dance.

LONDON. April Fin the Royalty the
alter performance was given last evening
for the benefit of the National Life Institu-
ton, n number of fashionable persons
being present. The programme afforded
them much enjoyment. After W. S. Gil
bert's Sweetheart" had been. performed.
Countess Russell, wife of Earl Russell
from whom she recently made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to be divorced, and her
sister, Mrs. Dick Russell, appeared hand
somely attired in similar costumes of black
and silver. with white wigs and clinginp
black lace skirts. The countess had cor.
onet fastened conspicuously in front of her
accordion-pleated dress The ladie, re-
ceived quite an ovation. Their CON-
tribution TO the performance consisted
of skirt dance, assisted by Messrs
+. and c. Lambert, who were also attired
in fantastic costumes. If without the
grace and refinement of practised ner.
formers, the ladies had sufficient assur-
ance and appeared to enjoy the sport az
much as did the audience. They were on
Enthusiastically recalled three times. Finally
they left the stage amid blaze of lime
light and perfect bombardment of TOW.

ton. He had lived in Tacoma for ten

listed near the first of the civil war in the
Third Wisconsin infantry, and served
nearly four years. He was wounded at

APPEAL TO CONGRESS
For Aid for the Victims Of the
Mississippi Flood.
NEGROES UTTERLY DESTITUTE.
Thousands Of Them without Shelter OF
Food-The Loss OF Life Fully -
Large - at First Reported.

COLUMBIA, Miss. April 12.-Later re-
ports enlarge rather than diminish the
previous estimates of the loss of life and
destruction of property by the flood. A
belt of country five to fifteen miles wide
through the country is one mass of ruined
houses, fences and carcasses of stock.
1t is doubtful if a dozen houses
are standing in the district. From
1000 to ], 200 negroes will be left at this
place when the water subsidies without a
cent and with no credit, and the places
formerly their homes nothing but mud
holes. The impoverished condition of
the whites prevents them from maintain
ing the colored people long and
great suffering will doubtless follow.
1t would be but common humanity for
congress now in session to assist them. A
mass-meeting of citizens was held this
afternoon to devise means 10 assist the
poor. The mayor was authorized to ask
the federal government to loan thousand
tents to give them shelter. The water is
going down slowly.
ABERDEEN, S. D., April 12-No seeding
of any consequence can be done for good
many days on account of the deep mud
and the heavy rain now falling. The
bridge over the James river at Eaton has
been washed away, and expensive I'M
prOyements at Hecla and other points are
in imminent danger. Thousands of acres
of bottom lands are under foot or more
