 Soon as Possible.

Tokio. April 25.-The most genuine sympathy is expressed here for the suf- ferers in San Francisco and the feeling of grief Is especially strong that such a calamity should have befallen the best friend of Japan.

 A number of wealthy sympathiSers with San Francisco and leading citi- gems held q meeting here yesterday to consider the most practicable and ac- ceptsble measure of relief. Among those present was Premier Katsura. The Red Cross authorities after careful deliberation decided to send d hospital ship to San Francisco with a large number of experienced nurses.

Titanic Task of Feeding the Hungry
 in san FramciscO.

IT
 san Francisco, April 25,--An idea of inc Titanic task which confronts the food situation may be gained from the figures of the number of people fed yesterday. Throughout the city rations for 344,4e0 persons were distributed. This, of course, is an average estimate ba sed on reports from few of the food deposits. At one station of av- craze size yesterday provisions Were given out to 673 people in an hour for ten hours.
 All -four that was received in sacks is being exchanged at the bakeries, pound for pound, of baked bread. AL most all the bakeries in the unburned districts have opened and are selling bread at the regular price of cents a loaf
 There is no danger of a meat famine. Representatives of the Western Meat Company in South San Francisco re- ported to the relief committee today that there are now in the yards 1,500 cattle, 3,Oo0 sheep and 500 hogs. More than 200 cattle are being killed and nut under the knife as soon as they arrive on the cars. The full quota of employees is at work
 The Southern Pacific has given or ders that all cattle cars are to be rush. ed to the city at top speed and are to have precedence even over passenger trains
 Wholesale grabbing of supplies by some while others are in dire want has caused the military authorities to order new system in the distribution of food and clothing.
 Pitiful stories of suffering from ex- posture. ignorance and helplessness are nooding the relief committee frG all sides Of the great refugee camps that are in the Presidio, which is under government control. seems most thor oughly systematized, and that In ol- den Gate Park most completely disor- ganized. though it Is rapidly being placed on a habitable basis.

NIGHT OF PERFECr PEACE.
No Looting Done in the Open in San
 Francisco.

San Francisco. April 25.--"AIl is well was the words that. went down the line at police headquarters when the uniformed officers had finished their long night vigfl through the burned districts and reported off duty to their commanding; captains this morning. It was night of perfect peace. No loot CTS worked in the open. and the chaf- ienge of every guard brought pedes- trians to halt and after giving sat- isfactory answers to all questions of the challengers they were allowed to go their way In peace.
 Although the order from military headquarters permitting householders to maintain lights until 10 o'clock D. ni.. went into effect Monday night. 1t was not generally understood by the guards and on Monday. night there was considerable confusion on this account. Last night, however, the portion of the city that was unchanged was aglow with glimmering candles and coal oil lamps until taps" sounded and the men on patrol duty were not re- quired to give any warnings. The curtain fell at 10 o'clock sharp and the city was in darkness. Few risked street travel after that hour but those who did were not molested.
 From the reports of officers filed this morning." said Chief of Police Dinan, there is every indication that San Francisco has settled down to almost a normal condition. Our officers are everywhere as usual but no crimes have been reported for the past twelve hours and petty thievery has not even kept the upper office men of the d s- partment busy. The one perpIexinR problem that we now have to contsnd with is the prevention of an unequal distribution of food. Those of the worst element of the city, we find. are living better than they ever did in their lives. while the unfortinates who have never tbeen accustomed to seek for aid are actually suffering. We are going to do all in our power to relieve this condition and hope in a few days to get rid of those who are taking everything in sight"
 Retail trade was resumed this morn ing with a rush in the unburned sec tions of the city. Grocery stores, butcher shops, delicacy establishments and the like were doing a thriving business at an early hour.
 Many of the dealers compelled peo pie who are able to pay for the ne- cessities of life to do so. who have been depending upon the commissaries for their living.

 Many tons of fresh fruit were dis tributed free yesterday afternoon and this morning. The oranges and other fruit had been shipped to San Fran cisco for commission merchants before the earthquake.
