Francisco and no connection could be
A short time after the big shock
came a message from Sulsun, Soiano
county, saying that long section OF
track had disappeared from view II
was learned later that at one place be
tween Sprie and Teal stations in the
Suisun marshes for a distance Of one
mile and a half the track had sunk

brought back and they went to the bay
city by the I4athrop route
The track sunk by the earthquake is
near the place where q loaded passen-
ger train came near going out of sight.
1T is feared that 1t win take several
weeks to repair the present collapse
and in the meantime all trains VIII be
sent by the Stockton route
There are great crevasses on each
side of the track through the Suisun
marshes and it is reported that a great
ocean of water has flowed over the
lowlands between Suisun and Benecia.
An Engine Sinks.
A short distance below Suisun, a
Southern Pacific switch engine sank
into the ground for a distance of three
feet not far from where the tracks
disappeared.
Reports received from the train dis
patcher's ofhces tell of minor earth
quake damage at Suisun and Tracy, San
Joaquin county. Freight cars in the
railroad yard at Tracy were started to
rolling and had to have blocks placed
under them.
A report came from Woodlands stat
ing that cldmneys were knocked down
at that place
Word came from Napa that there
was scarcely whole pane Of window
glass left in that place.
About 0 o'clock word came to the
! railroad officers that the county court
mouse at Santa Rosa. had fallen and
that number Of people had been kill
ed but the story was not confirmed.

was felt as far east as Hazen. New,
(which Is about so miles beyond Wads-

serious fire is burning at Berkeley,
where the State university is located.
The report came from Pinola, a station
10 miles out OF San Francisco and the
nearest point to the latter city which
the company had been able to reach up
to the time of this dispatch. Berkeley is
between Pino1a and San Francisco.
At the offices of the st. Louis and
San Francisco railroad in this city d
message was received from the COM
pany's agent in Nevada saying that the
earthquake shock was severely felt
throughout Nevada and that all wires
were thrown down west of Reno.
Santa Fe Is Hit Hard.

Boxing Exhibitions.
HAD WORST OF CONTEST

Enraged and wild because of the dis
appointing showing which he was MAX
ing. Jim Mccormick lost his head in
his fight with Jack Johnson at Assoc
citation park on Tuesday night, and
while in a clinch in the eighth round
fastened his teeth into the colored
mans left shoulder and bit out a chunk
of flesh as large as two fingers. 1t was
disgusting and brutal ending Of what
had been an exhibition Of clever box
ing.
Johnson walked to his corner, even
though the round was but three-quar-
ters of a minute gone. exhibiting the
wound to the referee and his seconds.
Dave Porteus mOtioned him back into
the ring and the round continued to
the end.
Then Green Watson and Mexican
Pete Everett, Johnson's seconds, rush
ed in and demanded a decision. the
crowd. which had up to that time IN
the majority favored the Texan, sud
denly changed its sympathies, and be-
gan to yell that the decision be given
to Johnson. Secretary Herman Grow
of the Kansas State Athletic assocla-
ton was appealed to by Johnson
friends to interfere.
In a few moments the crowd was in
an uproar and rushing toward the
ring. Rorteus seeing its temper, and
realizing that it would demand fair
play, rightfully awarded the fight to
johnson. by stepping towards the col
ored boy and raising his right arm.
johnson was given an ovation. HIS
seconds picked him up and carried him
to his corner, with a large contingent
of his friends at their heels bowling
themselves hoarse. Policemen had to
keep his admirers from breaking down
the dressing room doors, so anxious
we're they to congratulate him.

Salina. Kan. April 17-There was a bolt
in the city council here over the adoption
Of rules governing the council meetings
Three members left the council chamber
bringing business of Importance to a
standstill- The council stands four votes
to four in the matter Of sustaining the
mayor in his temperance policy When
the temperance ordinance for closing the
joints was introduced the four men oppos-
ing the mayor refused to vote. It requires
five votes to pass an ordinance, and this
prevents the mayor from casting the fifth
vote.
The three councilmen who walked out
declare that they will not participate in
future meetings where the ordinance may
be called up.

dent yesterday transmitted to con-
gress the compile report of Com
missioner Garfield on Standard Oil
Investigations, a synopsis of which
was sent to congress On May 4. In

to answer the comments of various
statements made in his synopsis. The
report covers 5000 printed pages.
In support of the various allegations
made Mr.. Garfield prints boldly in
the report copies of way-bills, letters
of railroad officials bearing on trans
actions with agents of the Standard
