Southern railway freight officials
here have received orders from the
president to transport all freight IN
tended for relief of the San Francisco
sufferers free of charge to the end OF

dressed to regular constituted relief

cally the same announcements.
The following order was also re-
ceived by the local officials OF the
Southern Express company. H..
"To Agents: Contributions Of mon
ey, clothing or other supplies'intended

How Best to Communicate With Par
ties in San Francisco.

Washington, April 25.-Gen. Greedy
this afternoon responded in the mega
tive to the suggestion that govern
ment registration hv~o-u be estab-
lished and he added Z. statement Of
conditions in San Francisco, today
to show the impracticability of such
a bureau. He suggests that interest
ed parties telegraph the newspapers,
which are best Informed as to loca-
ton of individuals. -.
Gen. Greedy adds:
"To relieve public apprehension, it
should be clearly understood that be-
yond isolated cases already reported,
there are no deaths OF. serious inju-
ries of guests of any we'll known hoteI
in San Francisco. 1t should be also
understood that threre is no demand
for nurses or doctors. The medical,
civil and military will be able to hand
lie the entire situation unless unexpect-
edly adverse conditions arise"

The telegram was as follows:
"All we'll here. Charleston distress
nothing compared with reported Fris-
co horrors. ~
Mr.. Fripp has been stationed at
Corning for several years, and there
was considerable uneasiness here un-
til his relatives received this message.
Very little news, however, has been
received from other Carolinians now
near the wrecked city and until direct
communications can be reestabllshed
there will be considerable uneasiness
concerning them. :.

An idea of Task Confronting the
Food Committee.-Bread Selling
at Five Cents.

San Francisco, April 2o.-An idea
Of the task which confronts the food
committee may be gained from the
fact that throughout the city ratlons
for 349, 40 persons were distributed
yesterday. This iss an average estl-
mate based on reports from few OF
the food depots. At one point yes
terday provisions were given out to
672 persons an hour for ten hours.
This station is neither one Of the lar
eest nor QUE of the smallest and so its
reports. were used as basis to strike
an average.
All flour that was received in sacks
is exchanged at bakeries pound for
pound for bread. Almost all the bak-
cries in the burned region have open
ed and are selling bread at 5 cents a
loaf. There is no danger of meat
famine. Representatives Of the West
ern company in south San Francisco
reported to the relief committee this
morning that there are now IN the
yards 1,5O0 cattle, 800 sheep and 500
hogs. :
More than 200 cattle are killed and
dressed daily and sheep and hogs are
put. under the knife as fast as they
arrive. The full quota Of employers
is at work.
cisco with precedence over passenger
trains. .....
Wholesale grabbing Of supplies by
some while others are in want has
caused the military authorities to or
der a new system in the distribution
Of food. Beginning tomorrow kitch-
ems and mess rooms will be established
where meats will be supplied to all
who apply but no food will be given
out to be carried away.
In the distribution Of clothing pre-
caution against fraud will be taken
by squads detailed to visit each tent
or each shelter, list the occupants and
tabulate their wants. Orders will be
given out emitting the holders to the
needed clothing, bedding or other
stores.
Pitiful stories Of suffering from
exposure, ignorance and helplessness
are flooding the relief committee from
all sides. Of the great refugee camps
that in the Preside, which is under
government control, seems most thoro-
ughly systematized, and that in Gold
en- Gate park most disorganized,
though it is rapidly assuming a habi-
table basis.
Many tons Of fresh fruit we're dis
tributed free yesterday and today.
Bunches Of bananas and boxes of or
anges were given unsparingly to the
people, who flocked from the tents

work. The mayor today gave instruc-
tions that the members Of these "com-
mittees" were to be disarmed wherev-
er found by the city police and if any
resistance was offered they were to
be treated as looters, which means
that they are to be shot without cere-
mony.
The water supply is still serious
problem. It was decided today that
still further restrictions should be put
on the use Of the water now available.
Hereafter until the water system has
been repaired there is to be but one
water faucet for each block through
out the city.
State Militia On Duty.
The State militia has not been with
drawn, Notwithstanding the requests
from the mayor and the citizens ex-
ecutive committee. Gov. Pardee has
not met with the executive committee
or with the heads of the military and
civil authorities at Fort Mason. He
has sent word in explanation of his
absence that he has been advised too
late to reach the meetings. 1t appears
that as rule members Of the militia
have had a misapprehension Of the
conditions in San Francisco. They
have acted as though martial law were
in force and that it was their duty to
regulate the affairs of the city accord
ing to their individual conception of
that law. Since they have been con-
fined to a limited area, however, and
the conditions have been explained to
them there has been less complaint
from citizens.
There is nothing but praise for the
work of the United States army, the
navy and the police. They have act
ed with reason at all times.
Marines are used in large region
for patrol duty and they have main
tanned the best Of order without one
instance Of conflict with anybody.
Everywhere sanitary conditions are
satisfactory. Probably there has been
less sickness at the Preside than any
Of the other camps and this may be
attributed to the fact that the people
here have been sheltered, fed and
directed by army officers.
The president s proclamation issued
today, has had a cheering effect. The
local finance committee and the, Red
Cross are acting together and the
work of relief is conducted in sys-
tematic manner.
A force of expert accountants. has
been engaged, an auditing and super
vising committee appointed and every
dollar will be accounted for. The
San Francisco labor council on behalf
Of it's 1O6 affiliated unions has an
nounced that wages will remain the
same as before the fire.

THE GREAT REUNION
CONFEDERATE VETERANS
NO REUNION HELD UNDER
FAIRER AUSPICES.
New Orleans Welcomes the Soldiers
- of the South-Sunshine-
and Gladness. ...-

New Orleans, April 25.-Today in
the heart Of a city which has borne
the brunt Of battle, and worn the
weeds of mourning for it's sake, the
Confederacy was revived again by
those who cherish it for everything
that it was intended to be, and who
will love it until they die, for what it
means to them and to the south. The
tales Of the heroism, the sacrifice, the
agony and the glory Of the great days
were told again to those who never
weary of the story and who cheered
and wept by turns, as the bright or
I1#nbre side Of the picture was turn
"a to view.
No reunion was ever held under
fairer auspices, and none ever showed
greater promise Of success. The
weather was perfect, the arrange
ments Of the temporary building
erected for the reunion were unsur-
passed and the details of the vast
work Of handling the great throng Of
visitors was carried out with precis-
ion and care. =,
The first session Of the day saw the
reunion formally launched upon its
career. General S. D.. Lee, the COM
mander-in-chief, Adjutant General
Mickle and other officers Of the Or
ganization presented their reports
and General Lee delivered his formal
address. There were other speeches,
almost without number The veter-
ans were welcomed by Governor
Blanchard for the state, by Mayor
Behrman, for. the city, by the vet
erans Of Louisiana, the Sons Of Vet
erans of Louisiana, by the citizens Of
New Orleans and by members OF the
various affiliated societies.
There were songs by young women
and reverent prayers by ministers OF
the Gospel.
The convention was called to or
der by General Albert Estopinal, COM
mander-in-chief of the Louisiana di-
vision of the United Confederate
Veterans.
After an eloquent invocation had
.
been delivered by Chaplain General
Jones, Of the organization, the anthem
"Immortales'' composed by T. G.
Delecn, of Mobile, Ala, was sung.
An address Of welcome to the visl;-
ting veterans was then made by Gen.
Estopinal and solo "a Confederate
Toast in Song" composed by Miss
Given, Of the United Daughters OF
the Confederacy, was sung by Miss
Carrie Nick.
Governor Blanchard was given
most enthusiastic welcome when he
stepped to the front Of the platform
for the people of Louisiana. He in the
most cordial manner, bade the visit
ors welcome to the state and after a
song by Alfred Meister, Mayor Behr-.
man greeted the veterans in behalf OF
the city Of New Orleans.
