SOLDIERS STRIP THEIR BED.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. April 49,.
Especial. 1.-The United States steamer
Major Evan Thomas left Fort Worden
this evening for Seattle, having aboard
a large quantity of rations and equip

and Fla ler, to be sent at once to Cen

vastated San Francisco since martial
law was proclaimed there So urgent
is the demand for tents, blankets and
provisions that three brigades have
been stripped and all rations in excess
of 20 days supply have been with
drawn and forwarded to the afflicted
city.
True Western spirit was manifested
in connection with the shipment by the
soldiers here, who, in many instances
stripped their own comfortable beds to
add to the supply of blankets being
sent TO the sufferers. The shipment on
the Thomas is to be transferred to the
waiting steamship Minnesota, which

San francisco-the belief that the
worst has happened and that the day
has passed for grieving, was made man
ifest today by a return flow of refugees
who fed from the city while it was
rocking on its foundations and wither-
ing beneath the flames.
j 1t is not to be understood that the
exodus has entirely stopped, for there
are hundreds of tourists who were
caught in the disaster and many resi-
dents of the city who are seeking shell
ter in outside cities. But the fact re-
mains that today witnessed the ret;A'n
to the city OF hundreds who are ami
mated by the determination TO recoup
shattered fortunes at the earliest pos
sible day.
The return movement of the refugees
is one of many signs telling OF the new
order of things that has been estab-
hshed inside of the past twenty-four
hours.
Martial law has been the stern force
that has crushed the lawless element
and afforded protection to the law-aEid-
ing citizens, who were helpless in their
extremity. The combined strength of
the federal troops, of the state militia
and the police has achieved the first
step toward the restoration OF order,
and tonight the city is quiet.
Trains now are running regularly on
schedule time into Oakland across the
bay and refugees are crowding out
bound trains, while those having rela
tives, friends or property in the strick
en- city are Fastening to San Francisco.
Many Eastern tourists who were iii San

and baggage.
Gov. Pardee and the legislators are
calling a special session of

believed that this action will be taken
next week.

three electric cars plunged into the wa.

The inquiry was held in the Bartlett
building and so great was the crowd
that the police had to interfere.
The direct subject of the inquiry was
the death of Walter Scott, the motor
man OF the train, who was among the
killed.

He broke the glass in a window and
got out. He said the air brakes were

The only trouble he has had with the

company and was told to saw off the
section that projected.

said, had not been opened for two
