The Great Relief Fund.


On Wednesday night, April 25,
the country had contributed in
round numbers $1S,00O,OOO for the
relief of San Francisco sufferers,
and the funds continued to roll
in. The fund will reach $20.-
100000 or more.
The Grenada sentinel., 1906-04-28

Three quarters of the city of San
Francisco was destroyed by the effects
of the earthquake and fire that fol-
lowed. Never in the history of the
United States has such a cOnfagration
ragged. The amount of property de-
stroyeG, the nun>Ser of houses burned
and the number of people made desti-
tute, was greater than the Chicago fire.
From 25OO0O to 100000 people were
made homeless in San Francisco-not
only homeless, but destitute and hum
cry. The value of the property loss is
estimated as high as $500 100000. When
it is considered that the taxable valua-
tion of the city was over $4O0,O0O,00O,
ard that three quarters of the city is
in ashes, this estimate Of loss is not
exaggerated. There is no business
district left. no hotels, no theaters, 40
bank buildings, no great stores, all
ruins. Many of the palatial residences
were burned, or destroyed by the fire
men. who blew them up with high ex-
plosives in their efforts to stay the
flames
No person can ever describe the hor-
rors of those days and nights, when
the earth trembled, buildings fell, and
the fire fiend ragged. The people fled
before the advancing flames. They
poured into the parks, the open places.
to the hills, and watched the city
burn. The roar of the explosions of
dynamite, used to blow up buildings in
vain efforts to stay the flames; the
smoke, and the knowledge that their
homes were gone, that loved ones were
missing; that people were in the ruins,
was too much for many, and they be-
came crazed. Hunger and thirst and
despair everywhere.
United States soldiers were sent
from the Presidio and guarded the city.
Soon ghouls appeared, and began to
rob the dead, the wounded, and to loot
wrecked homes. When caught, the
soldiers shot them down.
When the greatness of the disaster
that had befallen San Francisco be-
came known-when the American peo-
pie began to realize its vastness-the
suffering, and the need of relief, there
was generous response. BY the end
of the week there had been millions

RATE making NAY Be SLOW
Recent Federal Decision Said TO be Z
HindranCe to Action.

Spokane, Feb. 12.-"It will lproba-
bly, be two years before the state rail-
road commission will be able to make
any rates and substitute them for un.
reasonable rates imposed by the rail-
ways" said J. G. Lawrence, one of
the state commissioners, who is in
Spokane. 81 regret to say that the
commission finds itself unable to act
now upon the application of farmers
who want an immediate hearing to
secure reduction of rates on wheat
from the Big Bend country to tide
water. Indeed, fear that the com.
mission cannot so much as make rate
on cordwood from Chewelah to Spo.
kane for at least a year and possibly
twice as long.
"This delay is forced upon us by a
recent decision Of the United States
supreme court in what is known as the
Nebraska rate case. In that opinion,
handed down by Justice Harlan, it is
held that the commission of Nebraska
did not have right to make a rate
merely by comparison with similar
rates on similar roads for similar com
modities for similar distances in other
commemorative. The principle was
established that rate must be based
upon a number of factors, supported
by evidence. Among them are the
cost of the road, the value of the Sc
curities, etc. Now we are trying to
get the facts through a study of the
cost of constructing the various roads
now in course of construction here.
When we have those figures we can
take up the question of making rates,
and have confidence that our rulings
will stand"

SITUATION IN China
grows MORE SERIOUS

Washington, Feb. 12.-News from
China grows more alarming daily.
Senators are giving the subject serious
consideration. One senator declared
that Secretaries Taft and Root must
have money to prepare for a campaign
that is sure to come and must be ex-
pected to prontect all Americans in
China. They must have money to put
the machinery in motion and must
have troops ready, "for we may need
them at any time"
The rioting against foreigners in
South China is increasing and the sit
uation is daily becoming more and
more serious. While all foreigners
are more or less liable to insult, Amer.
leans are singled out to be jeered and
hooted at and in a number of instances
treated with showers of missiles as
they 60 about.
Bands of armed men are reported
to be operating in South China, burn
ing mission stations and destroying
the homes of native Christians, but
the details of these outrages are sup
pressed by the officials.
Japan is watching the situation very
closely and it is reported is holding
transports ready at Nagasaki, to be
used, should it be necessary to land
troops in China to protect Japanese
interests. Similar conditions are re-
ported atm anila, where regiments of
American soldiers have been supplied
with field equipment and could take
the field within twelve hours.

Chicago, Feb. lathe forces are
marshalling for a stubborn war over
saloon licenses. Arrayed on one side
are social purity clubs, civic clubs,
churches of all kinds and thousands
of individuals, all clamoring for high
er license, believing that a 81 200 fee,
as compared with the present $500
one, will force many of the worst
groggeries, which are considered the
breeding nests OF criminals, out of
business. On the other hand are con-
solidating the saloonkeepers, brewers
and friends of both these elements,
not to mention large army Of "un.
mentionables," who insist that the
present tax is heavy burden, but are
willing to concede an advance in the
amount.

REVOLT AGAINST CASTRO
said TO Be imminent

Willemstad, Feb. 12.-Conditions
in Venezuela we're unchanged at the
date of the last advices from that
country. The censorship is rigid.
The report is that the attitude of Vice
President Vicente Gomez, who is said
to be plotting revolution against
President Castro in case of a French
blockade, is causing some anxiety. 1t
is reported also that General Antonio
Velutino, second vice president, has a
secret understanding with France, and
that he aspires to the presidency. All
the turmoil over the French Gable
Company's concessions is attributed
to General Velutino, and it is expected
that he will soon abandon President
Castro.
The total strength of the Venezuelan
army is reported to be 5000 men, and
not $4,000, as the army accounts state.
The total armament is 5000 Mauser
rifles and 2O,OOO,OOO ball cartridges,
eighty pieces of small artillery of old
fashioned type and ten modern guns
in position at pots. The treasury
shows a balance of 100000.
President Castro is said to be boast
ing that he will test the Monroe doc
trine.
The reports say that the best infor-
nation in Venezuela shows that France
or any other power can rely upon
almost the entire population to fight
President Castro, and that anxiety is
everywhere expressed for the arrival
of the French fleet to solve the prob
lem, which is beyond the resources of
the Venezuelans.

NAY DECLARED GUILTY.
Charges OF WreCktn0 Blo Bend Na-
tlonol bsnk Sustained.

Spokane, Feb. 13.-Charles G. May,
president Of the defunct Big Bend Ma.
tional bank of Davenport, WASH, who
has been on trial for wrecking that
institution, has been found guilty by
jury in the federal court here.
The conviction came after one OF
the most stubborn legal battles in Spo.
kane. Mays downfall is said to have
been caused by efforts to develop, with
funds of depositors on hand in his
bank, the Palmer Mountain mine.
Conviction was on the fourth, fifth,
sixth and seventh counts of the in
dictment returned by the January
federal grand jury. The minimum
penalty is five years in prison.
The trial Of Albert j. Lambert,
cashier of the bank, will be held the
latter part of the week. He is charged
with making false reports to the comp
troller of the currency.
