San Francisco. Apr. 24.-Following
the rain which fell Sunday night and
yesterday and which greatly intensi-
fed the misery and sufferings of the
homeless people of this stricken city,
last night was one of comparative
comfort and of greatly improved
conditions. The night was clear and
warm.
The condition of the people is con
stantly growing better, and the dis
tribution of provisions is becoming
more systematic and methodical.
While the heavy rains for the time
being added much to the misery OF
the homeless. it did much towards
improving sanitary conditions through
out the city.
AT 10:4O last night an earthquake
shock was felt throughout the city,
and momentarily created considera-
bile alarm, but no damage was done
Following the unfortunate killing
of Tilden by some self-constituted
vigilantes. il is said that all city pa
trolls and all guards will be disarmed,
and the troops, both regulars and mi
litia,. will be instructed not to shoot
except in case of extreme necessity.
Hundreds of men are at work cir
ing the streets and dynamiting the
tottering walls. The water company
mas a thousand men at work repair
ing the broken water mains, and ma
nv sections of the residence district
are abundantly supplied with water
operation as soon as il is safe to
turn on the power.
Within twenty-four hours probably
four street car lines will be in opera
tion and the streets of two extensive
districts lighted by electricity.
The coroner's Office will be reorg-
anized today. Up to the present the
bodies buried by the soldiers and ma
val militia were inferred near where
they were found. For this reason it
is feared that the exact number of
dead viii never be known. Coroner
Welsh reported yesterday that his
deputies had cared for $50 bodies ia
ken from the ruins, but this number
does not include those buried by the
police and by the naval militia.
The condemned Ferry building will
be removed and rebuilt Immediately.
The tower is principally damaged by
earthquake in the three lower sto-
ries. and will have to be strengthened
by rods and timbers before the ac-
tual work of removal can be done.
The new tower will be of reinforced
concrete,
ing gathered in and placed near Fort
Mason. The new Chinatown viii be
