and entirely unfounded. The commit
tees and even the homeless sufferers
themselves are treating the Chinese
and all other fellow unfortunateS with
the consideration and kindness worthy
of our civilization and OF our coun-
try. The people of San Francisco are
striving with all their hearts to re-
lieve their destitute, care for their sick,
protect their helpless, and uplift their
stricken, irrespective of race, creed or
color, in accordance with the dictates
of humanity, in manner worthy of
Americans, and in the common BROTH
erhood of man. Please give press.

Food Enough for All.
The work of housing and feeding the
homeless and of reconstituting the
sanitary conditions, already so far ad-
vanced Monday, was carried on with
no one is hungry in San Francisco to-
night, unless he is wilfullY So There
is food for all, and the method of dis
tribution has been so perfect that it
is within reach of all. AS for the health
and sanitary conditions, they are. con-
sidering all circumstances, excellent.
An investigation of the sewers has
shown that. they were not as badly
damaged as was feared, and where
there were breaks these have been re-
paired. There ha> been no outbreak
of disease of a cont gious~ character
nor is any feared, and as for those
pulmonary diseases that might be ex-
pected to be prevalent in such a cri-
sis, they are chiefly notable by their
absence. The hospitals, which in 4
few instances were crowded by great
numbers, are discharging them by the
score. These facts speak in stentor
tones for the energy and skill of the
surgeons and nurses who had the in
situations in their charge.
Ideal Camping Place.
In the great stretches of the Golden
Gate park, famed the world over for
its beauty there have arisen frame
shelters for 10000 people. No mil
nonaire in the land has so magnif-
cent a setting for his home as have
these waits of the great San Fran
cisco fire. There are still some who
this is purely a matter Of choice. There
is still considerable want OF blankets
bedding and cots, and when this has
been met, as possibly it will be within
the next twenty-four hours, the con-
dftfon Of those unfOrtunates will. in
view of all that has happened, be al
most ideal.
For some days San Francisco showed
an unwonted eagerness to get rid of
its people. That period has passed.
There is no further anxiety, when the
measures of relief under way though
out the country are considered that
she will not be able properly to care
for all those who remain. Of the able
bodied mechanics and laborers she has
especial need, and she is making every
endeavor to hearten them and induce
them to work. They are answering her
call nobly.
Banks Not Ready to Open.
The city is not yet in sight of the
resumption of banking business There
was an inspection today of the bank
vaults in the burned district and in no
