HOBSON DEFEATS BANKHEAD.
Hero Of the Merrimae" Wins Congress
slonal Nomination by 500.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. April A.-With re-
turns in from almost every poll in the eight
counties comprising the Sixth Congressional
district, Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson,
the hero of the Merrimao before Santiago
in the Spanish war, appears to be nomt-
mated for Congress over Congressman John
H. Bankhead, who has represented the dis
trict for twenty years.
The majority, according to figures In
hand now, will reach 500 If not more.
Capt. Hobson made the race two years
ago, but was unsuccessful.
Capt. Hobson did almost all his own
work, making from n to three epeeohes
a day.
He carried Fayette county, Congressman
Bankhead's home county, as well as his
own.
The Democratic nomination is equivalent
to election.

The street car company is stretching trolley

Gen. A. w. Greedy, commanding the
Department Of the Pacific, has arrived,
but Gen. Funston will retain active com-
mand of the army work, In u report to
Washington Gen. Greedy places the number
Of dead at PIT. This refers, doubtless,
to the number Of bodies disposed of by
the soldiers, for the Coroner's Office has
reported that the loss Of life is about a
thousand, perhaps more This estimate
is based on lists collected by the deputies.
The local board OF underwriters places
the damage to property at $500. 600, 600
They estimate the amount of insurance

have decided to withdraw the militia. The
citizens patrol also will be abolished.
Indignation over the shooting Of H. G..
Tilden had something to do with this. In

The troops are maintaining good order,

Work OF Removing Wreckage.
OAKLAND, April 24.-The tide of traffic
is flowing two ways instead of one in San
Francisco to-day. The people are still
getting out to the cities across the bay.
There is also q back eddy.
night in the rain was enough for a great
many houseless families who had intended
to stay by the city until they could find
shelter. So Oakland. whose streets look
like a country fair, is packed to the limit,
Notwithstanding the fact that it, too, is
h ving an exodus Of people who are going
to friends throughout the State or to the
California towns which have offered refuge.
Still dirty-for we nave not established
laundries yet-but somewhat cleaner as
to the faces and hands, the crowds are TAX
ing trains as fast as they can secure places.
But the back eddy is nearly as'great. Not
only are the stores and building material
for the camps coming into the city from the
ferry, but gangs of workmen in half a dozen
fields Of activity are being passed through
the lines. The street car company is rush
ing to provide rapid transportation for a
part Of the city at least. On Market street
there n We been only cable cars, which,
distributing themselves over four lines
after they passed the centre OF the town,
have run over the hills. The electric lines
ran south Of Market through tho Mission
district.
OPENING N
Now the company has a special temper
airy franchise from the Mayor to run trolley
lines on Market street, and one Of the electric
power houses, that on Bryant street, es-
capped with 10 important damage. There
happened to be a lot of constructive material
in Oakland. So all day laborers and cleo
tricians have been stringing trolley lines
and setting up trolley poles on Market street.
If everything goes well we will have a street
car line from the ferry. through the main
thoroughfare and out to the Mission dis
trict by Tomorrow night.
The Fillmore street line is now running
normally with electric power. This is a

EPIDEMIC SCARE V E

The sun is out after the rain, the sewers are
running still, and most Of the detritus Of a
week was cleared away yesterday. OF the
out of doors population most are living
now in camps made sanitary by the method
of the Government engineers and kept so
by the policing of the regulars.
The city in future will be wholly in the
hands Of the regulars and the police, Since
the killing of Mr.. Tilden the militia has been
unpopular, and at a conference between the
Mayor and Gen. Funston it was decided to
draw off the citizen troops. The militiamen
are young men in business or trades; the
time is close at hand when they will be
needed in reconstructing the city; and most
of the breaks which have happened among
the soldiers have been their work.
The killing of Tilden cinched it. To-mor-
row the First California will probably go
back to civil life together with the unsavory
Citizens Patrol. An order issued to-day
forbids any n except the soldiers, Of
course, to bear arms, and practically re-
vokes all pistol permits. Disorder is now
taking the form Of attempts on safes among
the cooling ruins. Last night soldiers
caught three men in the act Of rihing a safe
on California street. The robbers ran away.
The soldiers fred, killing two OF them. One
had his hat filled with gold pieces. Four
other men are at Fort Mason, under arrest
for an attempt on the safe Of the McCloud
River Lumber Company.
With the restoration OF order and the ar
rival Of fresh troops, the cavalrymen and
Grtillerymen who came from the Preside
on the first day have been able to get a lit
tie rest. There is no rest for the officers,
who are worn out. Funston Is setting the
example; no one has heard Of him sleeping.
The police, too, who have worked as faith
fully and heroically as the regulars, are dead
on their feet.
VARIOUS ESTIMATES OF THE
Burial Of the dead goes on, but the num-
Der of bodies recovered and buried and the
number in the ruins is still a matter Of guess
work. Gen. Greedy has published a state
ment saying hat 277 bodies bave been bur-
led. Coroner Walsh reports that his de-
partment has cared for $50 bodies. These
are probably independent figures; added
together, with a little further addition for
bodies privately buried or oremated with
out notification OF the Board Of Health,
the ist reaches nearly 700. One report Is
that the Coroner's office places the dead at
1000.

The circumstances surrounding the
young mans death point to it being
the result. 1t is believed he did not
understand the use of the gas fixtures
Coroner Egan made an investigation
and gave the opinion that the young

or accident There were no letters OF

respect to certain conditions in this
state and makes recommendations
with a view to remedying the situation.
Complete reports received by this
office show that in not few counties
of the state sheriffs are receiving
greater salaries tnan the chief execu-
should cease. Mining companies pay
taxes upon their net proceeds. 1 rec
ommend that a system of bookkeep-
ing be inaugurated whereby these pro-
ceeds may be definitely determined
Transportation and express companies
pay taxes on their gross earnings. The
books of these companies, as well as
mining companies, should be subject
to inspection by the examiners de-
partment The state would lose moth
ing by this Private banks should
also be placed under the supervision
of this department. Publicity is the
life of modern business and begets
confidence"
From figures submitted by Eek
aminer Collins, it is learned that thu
twenty nine national banks in Mon
tana have assets of $30,0OO,0O0; those
Of the thirty-four state banks aggre'
gate $20, 10000 600 and those of the thir-
ty-three private banks total $10,000,000
grand total Of $60,00O,000.
Mr.. Collins also stated that the av-
erage cost to each man, woman anC
child in the state, for the support OF
state and county governments las1
year, amounted to s2126, which he re-
CARDS so far too great, and says thai
steps should be taken to reduce ex-
penses and graft all along the line.

IT WILL PROBABLY Be ELABORATE

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The New York
manufacturers are fastening the work
of preparing the exhibits which they
intend to send to the international ex-
hibition which will be held in Milan,
Italy, this year. For months exhibits
have been solicited and collected and it
is believed that the New York exhibit
will be quite creditable From other
parts of the country it is reported that
not much activity is shown by the
manufacturers to bring together ex-
hibits which will be a credit to their
respective states or sections. 1t is
said that the management of the Milan
exposition did not advertise the COM
ing event in this country sufficiently to
attract the attention of the manufact-
urers. On the other hand it is asserted
by the representatives of the Italian
government that announcements and
strong appeals mad been sent to the
manufacturers all over the United
States, but they did not seem to exert
themselves.
Mr.. C. G. Faruffini, of the interna-
tional trade agency who has been very
active in soliciting exhibits from large
manufacturing concerns in this coun
try, says, that Germany has shown
more interest in the coming exposition
and has taken more space at the ex
position than any other country Ac-
cording to Mr.. Faruffini the Italian ex-
hibit will be a revelation to the rest
of the world. He says that during the
last few years Italy has made wonder
full progress in the development of it's
industrial and economical resources
and the government has taken care to
give to the world clear understand
ing Of the remarkable progress of Italy
in every branch Of art and industry.

TO GROW OWN TREES.
Railroad Will Produce Its Own Timber
for Ties and Lumber.

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb 9.-The Cana
dian Pacific has decided to plant large
quantities of young trees at variou,
points along it's prairie lines so as tt
be able, in future, to supply it's OWL
ties and fenceposts.
The company fully appreciates tho
fact that the da- will come when the
trees and lumber will reach nigh
prices, so it is now preparing to meet
the emergency by establishing and
maintaining tree plantations in the
west, and thus have in due time q
good supply of it's own to draw FROM
when needed.
The wood best adapted for railway
ties is the bircn. This grows rapidly
on the western prairies. AS the trees
grow to a large size and begin tt
crowd one another, they will DE
thinned out for fenceposts.
