EARLIER DETAILS.
Conditions in CIty--ShoOting of Thieves
 Flight of Residents.

San Francisco, April 19, via Oakland. The magnitude of the calamity that has befallen San Francisco became ap- parent this morning when a red sun arose above the horizon and dissipated the pail of darkness that hung over the stricken city. Looking eastward from the heights in the central portion of the city, everything attested to the awful havoc wrought by the earthquake and flames. Where once rose noble buildings now stands nothing but frail walls, tottering chimneys, heaps of twisted iron and huge piles of brick and mortar. Adding to the horror of the situation was the fact that the work of the destruction had not reach- ed it's conclusion. In several sections the fire was still raging with unabated vigor converting into smoke and ashes everything in the shape of combusti- ble material, and turning into ruins structures that had cost millions of dollars.
 It was with saddened hearts that the community viewed the ruin of their city, but the extent of the devastation has not yet come to be fully realized, The people are seemingly half dazed by the magnitude of the disaster and 1t will be some days before the full hor- TOT of the situation comes home to them.
 Possibly a famine is already present. ing it's hideous face. At best the city never carried more than three days supply of provisions and food, and now with the wholesale districts and ware houses wiped out, there is a shortage of food already. Prices to-day were in most instances more than trebled. An Associated Press man was obliged to pay twenty-five cents for a small glass of mineral water in the Hayes Valley district. That half of the city has been laid waste and not drop of water is to be had there except bottled mineral water.
 This morning policemen were station ed at some of the retail shops regulat- ing the sale of food stuffs, and permit ting only a small portion of goods to

 Washington, April 19.-What is gen erally construed by those who heard 1t as a quiet rebuke to the president for his letter to congress attacking Judge Humphrey was delivered by Justice Harlan, of the United States supreme court, in an address last night before the Association of Congregational Churches of New Jersey, now meeting here.
 Justice Harlan, who spoke on "The Judiciary" made no reference directly to the presidents letter, but in the course of his remarks dwelt on the ne- cessity of keeping the judiciary free from the influence of the executive branch of the government and the ex- ecutive departments.
