LOOKING OVER THE RUINS.

1t is possible now to look over the
ruins and take an account of the DESC
lation wrought by earthquake and fire.
1t is a strange fact, commented on
almost with awe, that the newspapers
prognosticated the catastrophe last
Thursday, only few hours before the
blow fell. The local astronomers based
their prediction on the conjunction of
Jupiter, the earth and the moon.
The first shock came in the midst
of terrific rain storm, at 1850 o'clock
Thursday evening A few minutes lat
er there was a second shock, almost
equal in violence. The second shock
completed the work of destruction.

100000 IN AN INFERNO.

Into this inferno of ruin and dark
ness, through streets choked with deb
ris and tangled fallen wires, more than
100000 terrorized. panic stricken,
screaming. maddened persons fled,
seeking in vain for shelter from the
storm and for safety from collapsing
houses.
The parks and plazas afforded the
most convenient shelter and to them
the terrorized people stumbled and
CROPPED their way. But the great
masses of the crowds, unable to find
room in the parks, found their way to
the hills.
Fires in a score of different places
dispelled the darkness, and soon the
whole quarters Of the city were in
flames All Thursday night and all

The water supply gave out and dyna-

his reelection to the Presidency. He
said q quote from memory only: In
any great national trial hereafter the
men of that day as compared with
those of this will be as weak and as
strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and
as good. Let us therefore study the
incidents OF this philosophy to learn
wisdom, and not as wrongs to be
avenged and he added later i'm the
speech a touching and characteristic
expression of his, saying, so long as
have been here I have not willingly
planted a thorn in any mans breast
1--WE have heard a great deal during
the past year or two of the frightfu
iniquities in our politics and our busi-
ness and the frightful wrongdoing in
our social life. Now there is plenty
of iniquity in business, in politics. in
our social life. There is every war
rant for our acknowledging these
great evils. But there is no warrant
for growing hysterical about them. It
is a poor trick to spend nine tenths Of
the time in saying that there never
was such iniquity as is shown in this
nation and the remaining tenth in say
ing that we are the most remarkable
nation that ever existed
1--WE want to be more careful in
blaming ourselves and more careful in
praising ourselves. Overemphasis in
praise as well as overemphasis in
blame is apt to overreach itself! just
as the man who promises too much
politically on the stump is ant to strike
the balance by performing too little.

but i'm speaking about It do not let MS

coin.
Let us remember that many of the
men that do things of which we COM
plain, even among those who do the
worst are American citizens with
much the same tastes, tempers and
characters as we have, but who have
been exposed to special temptations.
OF course, there are some men who are
inherently wicked, and for these only
drastic punishment will avail, but very
many wrongdoers especially when the
wrongdoing is committed by whole
class, are WrOngdOers only through
force of circumstances. Try to re-
move the causes of their wrOngdong;
remove as far as may be both the
power and the temptation to do wrong;
but DO not cultivate toward them a
spirit of rancorous hatred which i'm
the end will react most surely upon
ourselves. War with the evils but
show no spirit of malignity toward the
man who may be responsible for the
evils. Put it out of his power to do
wrong; if necessary, punish him
where he has done wrong, but do not
let this nation ever get into the frame
of mind, which, under infinitely great
err provocation, Abraham Lincoln
strove to prevent it's falling into at
the time of the Civil War.

task has been to carry the Government

business use Of that wealth brings It

I'VE have accomplished a fair

OYSTER BAY, July 4.-President
Roosevelt was pleased to justify his
stewardship in review of the year for
the benefit of his nelghbors today. lie
spoke in the open air nearly all of
his important utterances were deliver
ed during a heavy downpour of rain.
When he had finished both himself and
his thousand or more auditors were
drenched. None deserted the celeDra-
ton. The rain came suddenly and
there was no shelter in sight.
There was no doubt that the Presi-
dent enjoyed the downpour. When the
first shower came he allowed himself
to be covered with a rubber cape, but
just as he had thrown it off it poured
again, and this time he took the wet
ting.
TO emphasize that his acts as Presi-
dent had been free from malice he
begged pardon of the dominies and
took a text" illustrating his point
from Lincoln. The sentiment of this
text ran through the entire speech, and
when he said he would curb the
trusts he emphasized that in doing
his duty he would act without favor
or malice. He spoke for nearly an
hour. He was cheered on by the way
ing of wet flags and cries of approval.
But there are two or three things
about which 1 want to talk to you to-
day, and if in the presence of dominies
l may venture to speak from a text 1
shall take as my text the words of

STOCK MARKET DEPRESSED.
Heavy Liquidation Results In Bad
Break in Prices.

New York, March 6.-Stocks broke
badly during the day on the heavy
outpouring of liquidation from all
quarters. There was q we'll centered
bear attack on a number OF stocks
which have become vulnerable by the
building up of extensive pool accounts
and manipulation in the market. The
dissatisfaction over the money out
look, the continued withdrawal Of
banking reserve and the necessity OF
scaling down credit accounts to keep
pace with the declining reserves were
responsible for most selling The un-
stable condition Of stocks developed
last week aroused widespread distrust
and was the cause for sending out
calls for large additional margins on
speculative holdings. Failure to re-
spond to these induced the throwing
over of some holdings by commission
houses. The pounding down of prices
by the bears had the effect of exhaust
Ing margins and uncovering stop loss
orders. The weight on the market
was thus increased. Lenders OF money
also exercised increasing discrimina-
tion against some of the stocks whose
market position was distrustful when
they appeared in collateral for loans.
The liquidation continued intermit-
tently in the afternoon at an extreme
decline In Reading Of over points
and in Amalgamated Copper. Locomo-
tive, Northern Pacific and Great
Northern preferred Of over 4 points.
Anaconda was carried down 16%. The
determined resistance of Amalgamated
Copper at par seemed to mark the
limits OF the decline and there was a
general rally late In the day when the
shorts began to cover to take profits
on the days movement.

MONTANA SENATOR WINS FROM
GOVERNMENT IN FEDERAL
SUPREME COURT.
LAND PATENTS HELD TO Be VALID
PROSECUTION ALLEGED FRAUD
IN CONNECTION WITH PUR.
CHASE BY CLARK.

Washington, March 6. - United
States Senator Clark OF Montana has
won the case against him in the su-
)reme court Of the United States in
which the government sought to have
cancelled patents to 11.40O acres Of
public lands In Montana which were
alleged to have been fraudulently Sc
cured. The opinion In the case was
delivered by Justice Holmes and up
held the decision Of the circuit court
OF appeals for the Ninth circuit. JUS
tices Harlan and Brown dissented.
This was a civil proceeding insti-
tuted by the government against Sen
ator Clark to secure the cancellation
Of eighty-two patents to land issued
under the timber and stone act. The
charge made by the government In its
bill OF complaint was that the patents
were fraudulentiy secured and 1t was
further set forth that about eighty Of
the patentees are now under indict-
ment In the Montana courts. 1t was
asserted that Senator Clark had en-
tered into contract to purchase the
land before the patents were granted
and that he had known. or had good
reason to know. that the proceeding
was fraudulent. The government
charged that Clark was not bona fide
purchaser. but the courts below, In
cluding the court OF appeals, took the
contrary view. holding that the issu-
ance OF patents had the effect of con.
verting hts purchase OF an equity into
q purchase Of title. The printed record
In the case covered 1000 pages.
