'"The angels of the better nature

heart and the result is a magnificent
outpouring of human sympathy and
liberal financial assistance
All of this means much to the grown
ups, but there is in San Francisco a

can mean nothing more than some
thing that has robbed them of their
customary play places and the toys
that were dear to their hearts. Being
children, they still walk among mists
and rainbows" and are .unconcerned
about realities"
The whole world is responding to the
call for material aid, but lest the just
as real wants Of the little children be
forgotten. will the boys and girls of
Hawaii contribute, from among their
dolls, picture-hooks and
small toys, and thus perchance COM
fort many little hearts that are yearn-

HOTEL
WILL BE REBUILT

The managers of the Sharon estate
decided yesterday to rebuild the Palace
Hotel on the original site. All the fea-
lures which rendered the great hotel
so famous and popular will be pre-
served and several features of modern
hotel equipment will be added to the
new Palace. The new structure will
be at least ten stories high and will
be rendered as nearly fire and earth
quake proof as the skill of expert
architects and builders can attain. The
Sharon estate people comprehend that
the Palace Hotel was an institution
which the world regarded as part of
San Francisco, hence the purpose to
restore the tavern and make it in
every respect worthy of the city beau
tiful. Business as well as sentimental
reason prompt Senator Newlands and
his associates TO rebuild the hoteI.-San

The Number of Dead Is
Greater Than Yet
Given Out.

The accounts of the terrible disaster
which befel California on the 18th day
OF April, and which We're received here
by wire and mail, seem not to have
| been exaggerated. Yesterday the pas
sengers on the Alameda who passed
through the ordeal were kept busy de-
scribing the sensation to many willing
listeners There were some amusing
incidents and these seemed to have
softened the lines which bordered the
ways for the actor, for none of the
friends of Chief Engineer Johnson of
the Inter-Island Co. can imagine Billy
enjoying job where all he had to do
was to wheel bricks from one place and
pile them in another. And yet this is
what one of his friends reports him
as doing. He was doing relief work
with a vengeance.
Mrs. T. w. Hebron and her daughter
Gladys We're among the returning pas
sengers and while they We're not in
ence was thrilling. They We're at the
time of the shake stopping at hotel
at Raymond, sixty miles from San
Francisco. They were awakened by
the terrible shock and the bed in which
Mrs. Hebron was sleeping was thrown
into the middle of the room. With her
daughter she ran out of the house and
then saw that the cottage had been
thrown foot off the foundation.

Oil company, were in conference with
President Roosevelt at the White

would discuss the nature of their call
They arrived in Washington early in
the evening and expected to leave here
today.
1t was impossible to learn anything
regarding the conference which the
Standard Oil officials had with the
president. Very few knew of their
visit and the fact of their engagement
to call on the president was not known.
While 1t is possible that the call has
some connection with the subject of
the message which President Roosevelt
sent to congress calling the attention
to the fact that without an extra APP
preparation and the power to compel
the attendance Of witnesses the Till
man Gillespie resolution. which he
signed to investigate alleged railroad
of coal and oil wiz amount
to very little and might achieve Moth
ing, there was nothing on which any
definite information on which the pur-
pose of the conference could be based.
