THE SAN FRANCISCO DISASTER.

Disasters of all kinds. accompanied
with fearful loss of life and great de-
struction of property, are Of startling
frequency these days. One can hardly
glance at a daily newspaper without
seeing en- account of some fearful
train wreck, mine disaster, shipwreck,
volcanic eruption or earthquake.
The latest of this chain Of disasters
is the death-dealing, property-destroy-
ing earthquake which laid low a great
part of the city Of San Francisco yes
terday. This fair city of nearly four
hundred thousand inhabitants had a
fearful awakening yesterday morning
One at this distance and with the
meagre reports so far received canno-
realize the awfulness Of the calamity
which has befallen that city.
Following the panic Of the rocking
earth and the tumbling houses about
their sleeping occupants came the de-
vouring flames, spreading in every
direction, with no means at hand TO
stay them. The only hope of check
ing their onward sweep was in the
destruction of houses in their path.
1t is too early to begin to estimate
the loss of life and of property. The
former will probably reach into tne
thousands and the latter be counted
in millions of dollars. The largest
hotel in the United States, the Palace,
is n of the buildings destroyed.
With it went other hotels, churches,
handsome business blocks, public
buildings, many of which surviving
The wreck of the earthquake, went
down before the devouring flames.
One of the most horrible results of
the earthquake was the destruction Of
the insane asylum at Agnews, some
miles away, burying many Of The
inmates beneath the ruins. The
greatest single loss was in the total
wrecking of the Leland Stanford uni
versity buildings at Palo Alto. The
wreck and ruin extends to neighbor-
Ing towns and clues.
The Geographic dispatches in this
mornings paper are terrible, indeed,
but they do not picture the true hor-
rors of the results of earthquake and
fire. Words are inadequate to con-
vey a correct idea Of what that city
experienced yesterday. No magma
ton is vivid enough to form a correct
conception Of the conditions which ex-
listed yesterday and last night. If it
makes one shudder to read of it, just
think what those underwent who were
present and witnessed the fearful
scenes.

News comes from Washington
through the editorial columns of The
News and Observer that, because Of
the closeness of the vote in the house
of representatives on the southern
fast mail appropriation, a fight will be
made on it when the bill comes up in
the senate. That paper says that Sen
ator Simmons is a member Of the COM
mittee on p~ostofices and 1.-The opportu-
nifty is now offered him of throwing
his influence against this undemocratic
policy, and that the democracy of
North Carolina looks to see both our
senators fight this proposition. We
firmly believe that both our senators
will vote for this proposition of SO
much value to the south and that
such action on their part will meet
with the approval of nine-tenths of the
democrats of the state.

from Durham will be pushing toward
some point in the eastern section of

Much work will have been done on the

giving the capital another line TO the

of that road, which now has it's south

some of them there is very little more
