While San Francisco and it's vicinity are the immediate and most previously affected, the whole state of California will suffer from the effects of tue re cent disastrous earthquake
 The tide of immigration and wealth which has constantly been pouring into that state will be more or less retarded
 Capital and people, alike, are timid, and many will not care to live i'll and invest their capital in q state where earthquakes ren- der such havoc. Itis true that another such catastrophe as the San Francisco affair may notoc- cur again iu several generations. If ever, nevertheless, the kuowl- edge that 1t did once happen will cause many persons to i'm. agine that 1t might soon happen again; and people who are de- ing fairly well elsewhere, will be slow to break up and move to country with such a terrible history. Besides, many people who already iive in that country will have an overweening desire to leave it. Another drawback to the country will probably be in the lack of the magnifccnse of the cities hich were destroyed, when rebuilt, as 1t IS likely they will not contain so many S1 .000.- GOO structures as adorned old San Francisco. Some ofthe finest houses III the world adorned the streets of San Francisco before its destruction, last Thursday

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL Destroyed by Earth Quake
 and Fire

The once magnificent city of san Francisco, California, is now q mass of ruins At 552O o'clock on last Thursday morn ing. the coast city of California, thS great shipping city of the west, was visited by an earth quake which wrecked the entire businesss portion ot the city. Tall houses tumbled to the ground, without a moments s warning. Fire broke out immc- diatelv, and as all the water pipes had been ruined bY the earthquake, the entire city was at the mercy of the flames. and before the fire was stopped three foprths Of the grand city, of 400, ,OoO people, was in ashes.
 The number of people killed is placed at between 900 and i 2 GOO, and the property loss at $20O,00O. .000. There has been
 great suffering among the peo-
 pie for lack of food and water. Every effort is being made to re-
 Iieve the suffering, and many of
 the cities Of the United States and foreign countries are rush ing supplies and money to the scene of the disaster
 The destruction of San Fran cisco is the most apalling calam- itv that ever befei this country.
 Nearby towns to the city of San Francisco, also suffered greatly from the terrible effects of the earthquake The Leland Stanford, IF. University, 30 miles from San Francisco, was also destroyed by the earth quake

 Think oft goo, oolnen, women and children rendered homeless and desolate within less than 4S hours Who can and will at tempt to describe the scenes that must have transpired in tie build. ings that fell under the frightfui sweep of the flames
 The wounded and imprisoned who cried in vain for help sand perished where no one could afford them the slightest assistance, must have endured even worse fate than the victims of Eesuyius.
 The actual loss of life will never be known; the frightful death scenes of hundreds will never be depicted. A mercifuI Providence has hidden from our view much of the agony and suffering endured by those who perished in the wake of the flames
 The property loss will go far be yond the first estimates. The mind of man is stupeGed at the contemplation of what has been swept away within few hours.
 We find in this event much to substantiate the theory that the whole world was destroyed in prehistoric ages by great up heaval of nature.
 The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah of which We have the biblical account, may have been brought about ia much the same way. If future generations were forced to depend on legendary ae- counts of the destruction of San Francisco, should we not have q like story, only more horrible onea

eraL Though there was only eighteen minutes of fighting 1t close quarters, 63o Mexicans lay dead upon the field when their comrades fled in panic, and with the dead soS wounded were left be6ind.
 Of the Texans only two were killed and twenty-three wounded, of whom SIX died within the next two or three days. Some 6oo muskets, 800 sabers, and 200 pistols left by the Mexieans were gathered up by Houston men from the battlefield. Twelve thousand dollars in coin and some hundreds of horses and mules were. also, among the spoils of the vic tory.
 Santa Ana, flying with the rest, was picked mp in thieket next day by some of Burleson scouts and brought into Houston camp. Before he regained his liberty he had signed a treaty Ut Kelasco practically acknowledging the in. dependence of Texas and agreeing not to take up arms against the Texans during the war.
 Il Is often been sad that the soldiers of San Jacinto would never jest about the events of that decisive day. The work was too serious. and the fate of Texas hung in too uncertain balance. When at last they turned upon the pursuing Mexicaas 1t was with the grim ae. formation then and there to decide the controversy with their lives. The result k simply one of many illustrations of the fact that Ameri- cans fighting in that spirit are tiavtacib'c-Repablie

The St Louis Republic closes an editorial on the California disaster, as follows:
 1t is too soon for estimate ot the losses that San Francisco has suffered in lives and proper ty. The loss of life may he less than that suffered by Galveston i'll the wind driven tide that sub merged 1t in September. 1900. But Galveston had in that year only 37.O0O inhabitants. while San Francisco had 342 .0O0. Though Galveston's life loss, variously estimated at 1000 to 10000. remains the most apall- ing ever suffered by au American city. the San Francisco loss of property through wreck and fire Els likely to exceed any limit hith- erto reached iii this country.
 But the amount of the losses IS of less immediate consequence than the condition of the people who have been deprived not on lv of their homes but of the mcans ot subsistence, of light fand water as well as of bread. To the horror of what has aI- ready happened is added the ter TOT ot possible renewal of the earthquake shocks.
 Helpless and panic. stricken. it would seem that they must he .eoIoniztd by the thousands and tens of thousands in tents or other shelter outside the area of tumbling wreckaee and smoking ruins. The helpful charity is that which will expedite the de parture from the city of all for whom there is no provision re manning in Ii, and to this end the liberal heart of the American people may be depended upon to contribute without stint or de lay
 San Francisco will be rebuilt as Charleston aad Galveston were. In time she may forget this great calamity. Itis doubt ful, though. if she will recover % quickly as did Chicago and Bal timore from their great fires, or as Richmond from the greatco1- iagratlou which attended it's evacuation in lS65.
 The magnificent and historic landmarks which identified San Francisco with the flush times of the boom i'll mining industry and speculation are not likely to be restored in kind The new San Francisco will have less in. dividuality, but, let Us hope, not less Of prosperity and happiness, than the old"

Postponement of Visit of Brit

EMPIRE NOT NAVAL POWER
Difficulties Encountered in Securing
Competent Seamen.
FLEET A POLITICAL INSTRUMENT
What Mr. Hurd Declares In His Re-
port-Mistakes Made by Admiral
ty-To Remodel Administration.
FLEET A POLITICAL INSTRUMENT

The postponement of the visit Of the
British channel fleet to Russian waters,
which, as stated in The Star a week ago,
was regarded by the liberals at st. Peters
burg as being an open recognition of the
fact that public sentiment IN both countries
is hostile to such an official exchange Of
cour teses, while the government and the
people OF Russia are at war, gives rise to
another rumor.
While this decision, apparently. was
reached by common accord, 1t does not
reveal the motive, which. In Russia's case,
was Difference to the admiraity's sense of
humiliation at the sorry spectacle the rem
nants OF Russia's navy would present be-
fore the powerful British feet.
This question brings to the fore for the
first time the problem of Russia's future
navy. According to those who know, the
great Moscovite empire can never become
q great naval power. Russias position In
regard to this is worse rnan that OF Ger
many. The latter country Is colonial IN
principle, in ambition and in practice Rus
STA, on the other hand Is not. While many
times larger In surface than Germany, the
empire Is altogether military one, but
not naval. Russia has no ports. no large
bodies OF water convenient to her coast.
and is restricted by several treaties which
allow her only certain privileges which
tend to mako her ships useless
More Than Ships Necessary.
Mere ships do not constitute powerful
navy. While the American phrase the man
behind the gun tells the whole story In
q nutshell, it takes an advantageous coast
line secure ports and a peaceful people to
boast good navy. A nation that must
look out for strong military forces cannot
! have q great maritime defense. The United
States or Great Britain, for instance, can
both claim to be naval powers. but by no
means military And, on the other hand.
France and Germany can claim to be
niIlfarx but by no means naval The only
