this group of japanese fnanciers in the
same derogatory way in which we speak of
the princes of privilege in the United
States, for one reason that few here pos
sess any such monopo!ies as those existing
with us, and for another reason that most
of the men here have been ind!sputaple
benefactors of Japan in introducing pro-
gressive ideas and methods, and have won
the large rewards, frequently after much
hardship. of Industrial and financial pio-
neers. But it nevertheless must be admit
ted that the march of events in Japan is
toward a centering of financial and indus
trial privileges in few hands; and these
are nothing more nor less-than> the power
of extracting wealth from the many. 1t
enables the few to obtain the lions share
of the material benefit arising from Japan S
advancing enlightenment and present in
dustrial prosperity.
Arguing from what we see occurring in
the United States under similar crcum-
reaction must sooner or later succeed the
era of prosperity here and that popular
cutlery must go up against private mo-
nopolies and heavy taxes of various kinds,
as Is the case in our country.
A foreigner, or, at least, one not a long
resident, might be thought presumptuous
to venture any such assertion. But quail
fled Japanese critics say it. 1t is the fear
that so eminent and able a statesman as
Count Olsuma and other less prominent but
well-informed men here have publicly and
warningfy uttered.

Toxic, Yokohama and Osaka-new indus
trial companes-and franchise using corpo-
rations having an aggregate capitalization
of t50GO0,CG0 yen, or approximately $315,-
G000Oc, have been started since the ceasing
OF hostilities. Much of this may, probably
will, prove to be wildcat enterprise and
stock joSbing and overconfident imitation.
and will break like bubbles. But the fact
that bad and good companies making such
total can be 6oated in a country where
all production save rice, silk and tea has
been on a small scale proves the great
buoyancy of the public mind at this time,
while a general rise in wages proves the
relatively increased opportunities for en-
ployment. 10y .-.<.<-s.s
Crops Big, Traffic Heavy.
Thus great boom is now on in Japan.
Her rice crop this year promises to be very
large; her large tea exports are augment
ing, while she cannot meet the demands for
her silks. Her ships-and she has many,
one company, the Nippon Yusen kaisha,
having a hundred good-siZed steam vessels
on her railroads was never larger. All the
avenues of industry are active, and an ALL
Japan industrial exposition, being held here
in Toxic, reveals rapidly increasing use
Of machinery and a widening competition
with foreigners, from the canning of sar-
dimes in boxes marked with French labels
to the production Of pianos that are ship
ped to Berlin, are there marked with the
names Of German makers and are sold in
the United States as German instruments.
One hears in conversation of 1.-The bank
ing king 1.-The coal king" "the copper
king" 1.-The shipping king" 1.-The woven
silk king" 1.-The electric tramway king
and so one. If large company for this or
that purpose is to be started the interest
of one or several of the small group of rich
men is sought, and their connection imme-
diately draws in others-just as we find
promoting done in New York, Chicago and
other centers. And, as with US, observa-
ton here shows that this comparatively
few men. so potent in financial and indus
trial matters, are to a great extent the real
rulers of Japan, for, controlling the money
bags, they in large degree control politics.

SCHOOL TEACHER SUES.
Seeks Reinstatement to Office by Writ

of mandamus requiring the school board
to reinstate her as a teacher In English

near Fremont avenue. Mss Roschen was
elected a teacher in the school in june
1Sa5. She and Miss Ella Johanna Molten

in the school who did not receive an adj
vance in salary early this year.
On March 10 last Miss Roschen was notl-
fed by Mr. John IL. Roche, secretary ol tne
scbooi hoard that charges of inefficiency
had been preferred against her; On March
% Miss Roschen was notified that she hao
heen removed as a teacher. She declares
that she was Illegally removed, wlthout DC, pe-

self from the charges against her; me

Last Night One of Intense Ter
rOr and Grandeur.
The City Resembled One Vast Semb-
lage of Wandering and Dis
tressed People.
THE FLAMES RISE sKYWARD

San Francisco, April 1.-THE suf-
fering and hardships beggars descrip-
ton. Countless numbers of resi-
dents of the poorer section OF the
city. including chinese, japanese and
the Italian quarters have been rem
dered homeless. Unless supplies and
aid reach the city within "a hours
starvation will add to the awful ca
lamlty. Never has the fate of a city
been more disastrous. For three
miles along the Water front build
ings have been swept clean and last
night blackened beams and great
skeletons OF factories and offices
stand silhouetted against a back
ground of flame that is slowly spread
ing over the entire city. The whole
commercial and Office section OF the
city on the north side of Market
street from the Ferry building on
Tenth street has been consumed in
the hell of flame while hardly a
building is standing in the district
south of Market street. Block after
block OF banking houses are now
masses of red hot ruin and 1t will be
months before the money housed in
the valuable vaults can be reached.
The exact loss of life never will be
known as hundreds of unfortunates
have been incinerated in the flames
which made the rescue of those
buried under topping steeples and
falling walls impossible. Temporary
morgues were improved at many
points only to be razed by flames.
Last night the city resembled one
vast semblage with the red glare of
fire throwing weird shadows across
the worn and panic-stricken faces OF
the homeless who wandered the
streets or slept on piles of mattresses
and clothing in the parks and on the
sidewalks In those districts not yet
reached by the fire, forgetting for a
moment he terrible suffering. physi-
cal and financial that trails in the
wake of disaster. The scene present
ed by the flames was one of un-
speakable grandeur. Looking over
the city from the hill, the flames
could be seen rolling skyward for
moles and miles, while in the midst
OF tongues of red fire were to be
seen black skeletons and falling tow
ers of doomed buildings.

Entire World Anxious For And Thinking OF othing Else In
Face OF This Dreadful Calamity

Washington, April 19.-Followlng
received from Gen. Funston today:
Impossible to inform you of the
full extent of the disaster. The city
is practically destroyed. Troops are
aiding police. Martial law not de-
clared. Cannot send too many tents
and rations. Probably 100000 peo-
pie are homeless. All government
buildings in city gone"
The war department Immediately
ordered tents and two hundred thou
sand rations sent from nearest point
All of San Francisco's best play
houses are a mass of ruins. The
earthquake demolished them for all
practical purposes and the fire COM
pleted the work of demolition. The
Rialto and Casserly buildings burn
ed as was everything in that district.

ALL BEGGARS DESCRIPTION.

San Francisco, April 10, 10 a. m.
The Postal Telegraph company nov
has four wires running into the city
and they are heavily freighted with
messages as can be surmised.
1t has announced in every Office
in the country that II will accept free
any messages offered by mayors of
cities and other organizations per-
tanning to the relief of the ely.
General Funston has just wired
the authorities at Washington that
they cannot send too many tents a.
there are fully over 200 900 home
less.
All the government houses have
gone down in ruins and the fire still
RACES intensely.
Dread of tidal wave, which usu-
ally follows earthquakes has seized
the terror-stricken people of Sah
Francisco and the coast towns, and
thousands are fleeing to the hills.
Many. almost too frightened to move,
are huddled in the parks. Actual
hunger already Il added to the suf,
fering. and food must be had toda,
The supply of drinking water is cut
and thousands are thirsting. A hun
dred thousand are homeless in tn.

Emergency Hospitals.

The scene at the Mechanics Pa
vilion during the early hours of
morning and up until noon when all
the injured and dead were removed
because of threatened terrors of
spreading flames was something G
heartrending. Thousands of persons
hurriedly went through the buildings
inspecting cots on which sufferers
were placed, in the hope of locating
some loved one that was missing.
The dead were placed in one por-
tion of the building and the remain
der was devoted to hospital purposes.
After the fire forced the nurses to de-
sert the buildings the crowds follow
ed them to the Presidio and Chill
dren's hospital where they renewed
their search for missing relatives. Up
to late hour Wednesday afternoon
more than $50 persons, who were
seriously injured, have been treated
at various places throughout the city.
This Thursday morning the
building fell killing and burning
thousands.

THE LATEST 4P. NJ.

Oakland, April TO- Scores.
of towns within hundreds of
miles of San Francisco are COM
pieteiy destroyed. Loss of life
will probably exceed that In
San Francisco. Property worth
more than $50, 200, 900 is wiped
out. Santa Rosa, Agnews, Napa
and Salinas Is almost obIiterat-
ed. Santa Cruz, Monterey, Gill
roy, Holster, are wrecked. Loss
of life. Santa Cruz, n large ter
minal island beach resort, 20
miles from here, IL reported de-
stroyed by a tidal wave. Leland
Stanford University Is IN ruins,
and scores are believed to be ly-
ing dead at San Jose and Santa
Rosa, while here and there n
seaside resort along the coast is
entirely wiped out by a tidal
wave.
The old Mission at Santa
Clara, one OF the best known
land marks in California, is
wrecked.

Measures For Relief Are Quickly Adopted And Assistance
Come From Sympathetic Country.

The news from San Francisco to
day Is simply appalling and is almost
beyond the grasp OF the average
mind.
Every lsIletin hut adds 10 the hor-
rors of the situation, and II l. known
positively that the entire city Is
doomed.
The water supply IL entirely gone
and the fires are raging In every see
tion OF the city.
The efforts 20 stem the flames pro-
gress by blowing up the buildings in
its path have failed and the powder
supply Is gone.
There are probably over 100000
families homeless, and starvation and
thirst have added To the terrors Of am
awful condition.
The federal government has done
all it could for the suffering city. and
prompt relief has been sent by every
city In the country.
The towns that escaped along the
coast are doing all they can, but the
work cannot afford much relief until
the fires are extinct.
The damage has extended to many
OF the coast towns, and the fears OF
n tidal wave have been added 90 the
dangers yet confronting the stricken
Ieople.
At II O'Clock the local Office OF the
Postal Telegraph company received
this important message from San
Francisco, via Oakland; IL Is the first
news since yesterday afternoon:
''Fir still raging. No water ex-
cept along Bay shore. Dynamiting
buildings in an effort To check the
flames. Powder supply almost gone,
even the powder In the government
arsenal IL exhausted. Fire cannot be-
checked until Il burns itself out. Ev-
cry building In the business section
and half Of the residential section Is
destroyed and not large building IL
left"
The story, as told In messages re-
ceived today, follows:
