The unspeakable "act OF God" to.
gether with fire and fervent heat, has
laid in ruins the majestic city by the
Golden Gate. This awful catastrophe
recalls the recent tidal flood that de.
spoiled Galveston while she was sweet.
ly slumbering on the shores of the
Mexican Gulf. What tongue can tell,
or pen portray, the horrors of the
great Galveston disaster. Nothing but
the destruction of San Francisco ap.
proaches it in terribleness. Nothing
else duplicates its horror and its woe
The waters of the broad Atlantic, piled
mountain.high, and driven before that
cean-hurricane, swept over the island.
In its outward going it bore in its
mighty grip the loved ones OF many a
peaceful home. And to this day no
one knows where lie the bones OF
many q dear Cne. Their dead are cof.
fined somewhere in the great deep.
Their winding sheet is the green sea-
weed. Their requiem is sung by the
wild ocean winds. Is the morning
after the great storm ever to be for
gotten? Wreck piled on wreck marked
the track OF that stupendous in-rolling
tide. Hero and everywhere the vacant
stare of the dead mutely told the story
OF their tragic fate. Stately buildings
lay in awful desolation as monuments Is
of their mighty fall.
He who walked among the dead
after that sad and fateful night, saw
demonstrations OF Q wondrous psychic
fact. It is possible for tears to flow
until the very fountains are run dry.
The soul may grieve until crying is
impossible. Along those wave.washed,
wreck.strewn shores, the fearless eye
was set in countenancs all pinched
and drawn by inexpressible anguish.
Amid the sullen roar OF an washing
tide, amid the wild shrieks of loved
ones swept out into an open sea-
sometime that fateful night-hearts
broke down under the awful weight.
Those dazed, bewildered folks, could
cry no more. The heart, under the
narrowing spell of death, lost ell con.
sciousness of pain.
And now they would forever bar
out the Atlantic. They will have the
great sea-wsll. Human ingenuity
proposes, with granite rock, to hold
the wild Atlantic in abeyance. What
an undertaking.! The thought amazes
US, that human skill would dare to
hold in place q storm.swept ocean.
The agonies of that terrible night are
its inspiration.

Tillman in Chicago.
The Senator, Undaunted by
Threats, Made his Speech
on the Race Problem in the
Windy City.

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-The efforts
of the colored citizens of Chicago
to prevent United States Senator
Benjamin r. Tillman from deliv-
ering an address here tonight in
Orchestra Hall was unsuccessful.
When the South Carolina Senator
arrived in Chicago early in the
afternoon he was told of threat
cred injunction proceedings to
prevent him from appearing on
the platform and of a money
consideration that had been or
fered if he would cancel his en-,
gagement, but Mr.. Tillman ex-
pressed scorn for both. Until
he leaves for Fond Du Lac. Wis.
consin, tomorrow, Senator Till

and private detectives. This is

sued by Mayor Edward F. dunno,
who was scheduled to preside at
tonight's meeting, but who refus
ed to have anything to do with
the affair after a committee of
colored citizens visited him a few
days ago.
Senator Tillman gave his ad-
dress protected by 40 detectives.
In anticipation of trouble a mum.
Der of policemen were kept at
nearby stations in reserve, but
they were not called for. Six
negro policemen mingled with
the crowd which blocked the
street in front of the hall.
In the audience were many
negroes, but they listened to Sc
nator Tillman's remarks good
naturedly and although he was
interrupted many times the meet
ing passed off without trouble.
In leading up to his address,
"Shall the United States Annex
Cuba?" Mr.. Tlllman took oc
casion to criticise Mayor Dunne's
action in refusing to preside at
the meeting. Il have been told
that have been snubbed by the

"You make up your minds
that equality before the law

it would result in two States at

would practically be an equal

A voice-"How about the law?

After telling in detail how the
negro is prevented from casting
his ballot in the South. Senator
Tillman said:

He was SO years, 2 months and 8
