ANTHRACITE OPERATORS REPLY
Responsibility viii Be on Miners
Strike Is Declared.

The anthracite mine operators
through their subcommittee of seven
at meeting in New York. drew up &
reply to the latest proposition of the
mine workers for the adjustment OF
the differences in the anthracite fielt
in which they refuse to modify tbeil
position heretofore announced. Ths
operators call upon the miners to re
new for a period of three years the
award of the Anthracite Strike Com
mission or else to accept the opera,
tors proposition that the Strike Com.
mission arbitrate the question as tt
what changes, if any, shall be made
in the scale of wages fixed by the
commission in its original award The
miners have heretofore declined this
offer.
The operators, after giving figures
in detail say to accept the sliding
scale of wages proposed by the min
ers would mean an increase in the
price of coal to the public of Sc cents
ton. The present profit to the oper
ators, they say, is but 20 cents ton

1t is now decided that the old lines
of the city will not be followed but
that instead new thoroughfares will be
traced all streets made wider than
formerly, and a uniform style of archl-
lecture adopted. For two years Daniel
Burnham, an architect. had been agl-
tating for city beautiful. He had raj
lied many business men TO his support,
but his plans were abandoned by the
city authorities only two months ago
MS beyond all reason in cost.
Now, the twin disaster of earthquake
and fire has made possible the accom-
plishment of Burnhams dream, which
it had been admitted by every one
would transform San Francisco into
the most beautiful city in the world.
Work will begin at once in pushing
Burnham's ideas TO complete develop
ment, and all the municipal officials
are enthusiastic over the outlook.
Mayor SchmitZ expressed his delight
with the plan for the new San Fran
cisco.
"Thc whole city will be remodeled,"
said Mayor SchmitZ. 1--WE will start
work right at the water front. Even

fire, will be torn down and replaced

LIVING BURNED IN RUINS
Greatest Proportional Loss of Lifs
Occurred at Santa Rosa.

Compared TO the population 1t Il.
now believed that in Santa Rosa the
greatest loss of life occurred from
earthquake and fire, even if this un
fortunate city does not lead in the
actual number of victims In 4 lettel
received from a former Los Angelo;
man the writer says:
This town Is in awful shape
There is not single brick or stone
building standing and scores of fine
residences are in ruins. Fires broke
out in the business district right af
ter the shcck and burned dead and
living alike. There were three bis
three-story hotels and while all OF
them fell but one took fire. From the
St Rose they took out nine bodies
today. They found a little girl in
these ruins. She was unhurt, but very
hungry and thirsty, having been bur
led four days and nights. The tim
bers had lodged so that they protect
ed her Cases of this kind have beer
numerous.
There would undoubtedly have
been a great many lives saved II they

A quantity of dynamite placed OF

BURNED DISTRICT
Engineer Says Area Covered by Fire
Is IS Square Miles.


AN engineer states that the area
devastated by fire in San Francisco
approXimates 10000 acres, or about
Is square miles. There are few cities
in the world where so much valuable
property is contained in an equal ter
ritOry. Within this Is square miles
we're 100 banks, some of the finest
buildings in the world, thousands of
mercantile and manufacturing estab
lishments and more than 100000 in
habitants, besides 10000 transients,
Notwithstanding the enormous and
widespread destruction the homes of
100000 people are still standing and
practically uninjured. There still re-
main the great ship yards at the Po-
trero, the Pacific mail docks, the
stockyards at South San Francisco,
the docks and manufactures along the
water front from Mission creek to
Hunters Point. the mint, the post
offices and large retail district on
Fillmore and Devisadero streets"
A very different estimate is made
by the city engineer of San Francisco.
A trihe less than four square miles,
or about . 500 acres were burned over
by the fire following the earthquake,
according to City Engineer Wood
ward, who, completed an official map
of the burned area.

INSURANCE RATE INCREASED
General Advance to Replace Losses
on Pacific Coast.

There will be Il general advance in
fire rates in all cities of the Unit
ed States in the near future TO en-
able the companies to recoup in a
measure their San Francisco losses.
Rates have already been raised by
more than score of companies on
property in New York, the advances
ranging from ) to 80 per cent.
A committee Of five has been APP
pointed by the Fire Insurance Ex-
change to deal with the question of
advancing rates
Without awaiting the decision of the
committee a large number of com
panies have increased rates. with the
intention of recouping their San
Francisco losses as speedily as pos
sible. The example set will undoubt-
ediy be followed by all of the other
and the increase will be general, ap-
plying to property in all cities and
sections of the country.
Hall &c Henshaw, New York repre-
sentatives of seven foreign and out
State companies, announced they had
advanced rates from to 80 per cent
on property in the congested districts
of New York and Brooklyn.
The fire Association of Philadel-
phia advanced its premium rates in
the congested central district of that
city % per cent. and the American
Fire Insurance announced that it had
reinsured in the Commercial Union
Company of England its entire out
standing risks. except the perpetual
insurance. They also had ordered a
% per cent. advance in premiums OF
risks in the business of New York and
similar action will be taken else
where. With the advance in prem
iums the Fire Association also re-
duced from 15 to 10 per cent. the
commission allowed insurance brok-
ers.
