"Resolped, That the sympathy of the
House is hereby extended to the people Of
the State OF California in this the hour
Of their great disaster and suffering caused
by the extraordinary evolution Of nature,
and that as an expression OF our profound
sympathy we do ADJOURN
Accordingly at 4:45 the House adjourned
until tomorrow. Feeling reference to the
San Francisco disaster was made by the
Senate and House chaplains in their pray
ers at the beginning of the sessions to-
day. In the Senate the Rev. DIR. Edward
Everett Hale, after quoting from the we'll
known text God ia our refuge and our
strength-a very present help in trouble, "
prayed;
I'VE seek Thee In our calamity as we have
sought Thee in our triumphs. Draw near
to the people of this nation in the midst
of great calamity. Thou will oversee
us; Thou will help us, and we come to Thee
for help for Thy wisdom in terror to ask
for Thy guidance. Teach us to know
that brothers can help brothers, n that
each can help ail-that we are all brothers
in one family"
In the House the Rev. John Van Setback,
Jr., of this city. acting chaplain, said:
I'VE pray Thee, o God, hat Thou will
send Thy spirit of sympathy and Of love
and of comfort to that section Of our country
visited by sudden calamity and affection.
To every one that is bowed down with
anxiety we pray Thee that Thou wilt give
the spirit of assurance and trust and grant
that they and we and all may understand
that the eternal God is our refuge and that
underneath are the everlasting arms, for
Thine is the kingdom. the power and glory
forever and ever, amen
ARMY TENTS MAY HAVE BURNED.
Senator Perkins of California said to-
day that San Francisco would not prob
ably ask for outside assistance but the
War Department, soon after receiving news
of the disaster, searched the records to
ascertain to what extent it could help in
the way Of furnishing supplies to the stricken
people.
In the Quartermaster's depot storehouse
at San Francisco there are tents of various
sorts sufficient TO put more than II 900
people under cover, outside of more than
%, 900 shelter cloths. The latter, however,
would not be of much use. The store
house is next to the Palace Hotel, which
was burned. All OF the tents will be inn
mediately turned over to the use of the relief
committee, if they were saved, OF if the
army takes a hand in the work will be put
up some where and the homeless permitted
to use them without cost. Immense
amounts of supplies and stores are also
on hand in San Francisco and will doubt
less be drawn on to furnish food to those
whose property has been destroyed.
1t is expected that one of the results
of the earthquake in San Francisco will
be the temporary abandonment by the
War Department of the work on Fort Win
field Scott at the Presidio of San Francisco.
The destruction of buildings will make
and it will doubtless he impossible to con-
tin We the construction of the fort.

NO EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE.
HUT Fire Following Is Another Matter
Insurance Mostly Foreign.

HUT Fire Following Is Another Matter
Insurance Mostly Foreign.
Fire insurance companies are not liable
for losses by earthquake, according tos
members of the National and New York
boards Of fire underwriters and the official
of the various companies that have their
home offices in this city. But there was a
difference Of opinion among the insurance
men yesterday, after the news Of the a
Francisco disaster reached this city, as to
the liability of companies for buildings,
not damaged themselves by the earthquake
but destroyed by fire spreading from the
ruins of nearby structures that have been
shaken down.
A long exemption clause of the New York
standard policy contains this provision:
"If a building or any part thereof falls,
except as a result of fire, all insurance by
this policy on such building or its contents
shall Immediately close"
"The standard policy in force in CaIifor-
mia, said an officer OF the Northern Assur-
anoe Company of London yesterday, "is
the same as the New York policy. But
very recently some of the Pacific coast
companies have added cart hQuakes to
the exempt clause as an extra precaution.'

WARSHIPS HURRY TO FRISCO.
Festivities OF the Pacific Squadron Mt San
Pedro Put on.

SAN PEDRO, Cal, April 1s.-Under forcea
draught the flagship Chicago, with Admiral
Goodrich aboard, left at II o'clock this
morning for San Francisco, carrying every
available surgeon OF the feet and volunteers
from this city. The Marblehead, Boston
and Paul Jones are prepared to lea We at
a moments notice. This city had made
big preparations to welcome the Pacific
squadron, but all arrangements are of.
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-No fears are
entertained at the Navy Department for
the safety OF the Pacific squadron. Most
of the vessels OF the squadron are south
of San Francisco and out of what seems
to be the danger zone. The cruiser Chica go,
flagship Of Rear Admiral Caspar F. Good
rich, sailed from San Diego, accompanied
by the cruisers Boston and Marblehead
nd the gunboat Princeton, for San Pedro
this morning. Admiral Goodrich reported
his departure from San Diego, but made
no mention Of an earthquake. An earth
quake would not injure a vessel at sea,
but a resulting tidal wave might occasion
disaster. The Paul Jones is at San Pedro,
awaiting the arrivaf'of the remainder of
the squadron. The collier Saturn, with a
crew of merchant officers and men, lie at
Mare Island together with the summarized
Grampus and Pike, the destroyers Preble
and Perry and the receiving ship Indepen-
dence. The station ship Iroquois is at
San Francisco.
In the opinion Of War Department officials
the cable station near the Cliff House, eight
miles from San Francisco, must nave bee
destroyed or the cable broken. Other
wise, they hold, news of the disaster would
have come around by way of China from
San Francisco to New York, A despatch
could be sent to Shanghai and around by
way Of Europe, or from Shanghai to Aus
tralia and thence to Vancouver and overland
through Canada.
1t was announced informally this evenin
that the navy, the army, the Revenue Cut
ter Service, the Marine Hospital Service
and every other department Of the Govern
ment which could be OF assistance would
be placed at the disposition Of the San
Francisco authorities. The War Depart
ment has sent instructions to Major-Gen,
A. w. Greedy, commanding the Pacific
military division, with headquarters at
San Francise, to make use Of his troops in
every way possible to assist the autho rites
of the stricken city in maintaining order
and furnishing relief.

Special Cable Despatch to TIE SUN.
LONDON, April 1s.-The ~seismographs OF
Europe recorded the earthquakes at a
Francisco and showed that the movements
were violent. The instruments used by
John Milne, the ~seismologist and inventor
OF instruments to record vibrations OF the
earth, registered the movement at about
1850 p. NJ, Greenwich time. The marks
on one of his smoke cylinders at Shide
Hill House, Isle of Wight, were 30 long
and pronounced that the severity Of the
disturbance and its approximate location
were Immediately apparent.
When questioned a. to the probable
cause Of the earth movement Mr.. Milne
said the first inquiry ought to be addressed
to astronomers, because 1t was believed
by some scientists that earthquakes are
largely caused by the earth failing to swing
perfectly true on it's axis. 1t seems that
when it thus gets out of true the reaction
of swinging back involves a tremendous
strain, resulting in the twisting or breaking
of the crust. Accepting this theory. as
tronomers should be asked if they have
noticed any deviation Of the axis in relation
to the Pole Star or other point to which
it may heve been directed.
Mr.. Milne added that it was impossible
to say whether there was any connection
between the eruption of Mount Vesuvius
and the earthquake at San Francisco. 1t
ia conceivable that there was some connec-
ton, but opinion either way is merely specu-
lative.
LONDON, April 10. -Sincerely sympathetic
editorials are published by all the London
newspapers this morning on the San Fran
cisco earthquake. The condolences are
mingled with expressions of the hope that
the first reports will prove to have bee n
exaggerated as to the extent of the disaster,
az they we'll may nave been in view Of the
breaking of communications The energy
of the citizens in coping with the situation
is generally admired, and it is not doubted
that the resourcefulness in recovering from
disaster that was witnessed at Chicago
and Baltimore will be again displayed,
Edward W. Maunder, superintendent Of
the solar department of the Royal Observa-
tory, thinks that in all probability the
earthquake was the direct consequence of
the eruption Of Mount Vesuvius, which
doubtless started severe wave movements
through the earth's crust.
DR.. Dawson, the Birmingham seismolo-
gist, deduces from his records that the San
Francisco earthquake was much more Sc
we're than that which occurred at Lahore,
India, in April, 1905. DR.. Davison's records
for the past three months show an average
of -four earth movements weekly. The
average Of many years was one weekly.

DEMAND EeK LABOR INCREASES

The plan suggested by the
Americas Board of Trade for sup
plying foreign help here is one in
the right direction. In every line
of labor and industry there is
crying demand for more laborers.
In Texas, farmers are offering 81
to LISA hundred and board for
cotton pickers, and there is work
for thousands at these figures. In
all branches of industries there is
a demand for efficient workmen.
Similar conditions exist in all parts
of the country. Yet there are
multiplied thousands of men out
of work. Every city and town of
the country have their hordes of
idlers. Here in Georgia thousands
of men are waiting for some
thing to turn up and this something
has turned up, but not the some
thing they want. If every idle ne
gro in the cities and towns should
60 to the cotton fields and remain
until the middle of November the
cotton crop would be picked, and
then respond to the demand for
railroad laborers, wood choppers,
farm hands and other common
Iaborers they would be kept busy
all winter. We do not contend for
a moment that the 1dlers are all
negroes, however. Many OF them
are white men whose ambition
seems to extend no further than
the next meal. Probably they
would be willing to work if they
could get job sitting down and
clipping coupons. If every idle
negro could get employment as a
porter in a saloon and every idle
white man as cashier in a bank
there would be no idlers.
