Oakland, Gala, April 27.-The gi-
gantic task of placing Sac Francisco in
sanitary condition is iu full swing today.
Every available barge is being secured,
and as fast as a string of them is loaded,
it is hauled out at ebb tide five miles
from the city and dumped into the Boy.
One of the greatest tasks yet to be per-
formed is 10 that portion of the city
which escaped the flames. Practically
every house standing lost all chimneys,
necessitsting the issuance of an order
prohibiting the building of fires until
chimneys are rebuilt.
San Francisco, April N.--A group OF
hnanciers, taking advantage Ofthe clty's
misfortune, seek to snatch her CONNER
cial supremacy from her. A syndicate
has been formed to make Oakland a
deep seaport by building docks and piers
into deep water. II h the intention 10
make Oakland the chief maritime ship
ping port on the Pacific coast
Looters have blown open the safes of
business houses in the burned district of
San Francisco and carried away the con-
tents. Evidence has been discovered OF
an or anized plot to plumber the sales
and ruins OF business houses in unpro-
tected parts of the city.
Washington, ID. c., April 27.--fhe
first report from Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Metcalf who was sent to San
Francisco as the Presidents personal
representative, was received at the White
House today. 1t say in part: "Have
practically completed inspection of the
ruined districts. Ia my Judgment it
will be impossible TO determine the exact
number of deaths, but conservative esti-
mates place the number at not TO ex-
coed three hundred. There are about
one thousand sufferers in local hospitals,
and probably not over four hundred are
seriously injured.
GAS regards industrial aud CONNER
cial losses, the conditions are appalling,
figures and distances convey slight con-
ception of realities. The question "i
sanitation is receiving special attention.
The entire city is inspected daily by four
trained mounted officers who report
regularly the situation aud necessities.
"The Notifications are practically un-
injured Considerable damage " as done
TO. the military buildings at The Presidio
aud on Angel Island.
The people are confident aud hopeful
for the future. They feel under deep
obligations to you and the national gov.
ernment for the PROMPT and efficient as.
sistance rendered them"

Confederate Veterans.

nual reunion of the United COME derste
Veterans came TO close Yesterday at
New Orleans. J Today, the last day Of
the reunion proper, WAS devoted TO the
parade of the veterans.
As stated yesterday Richmond was
selected for the next reunion, the choice

that the monument OF Jefferson Davis is
TO be unveiled in Richmond next year
was a potent influence with many of the
old soldiers.
The officers of the organization we're
reelected by reclamation. The com
mittee on resolutions presented sup
Elemental report declaring in favor of a
recommendation to the several Southern
States that pensions be paid by each
state to slaves who followed their masters
to the war.
Some years ago resolution was
passed at a reunion declaring in favor of
q provision for the presentation of med
ala to the men who showed the greatest
courage in any battle in which the Con
iederate troops we're engaged. The reso-
luton has been neglected heretofore,
but yesterday it was resurrected and il
was decided to put it into effect at
once. The resolutions passed provide
that if the soldier entitled to the medal
is dead and bis heirs cannot be located,
the medal shall be presented to the
Battle Abbey, to be erected later in
Richmond; and also declare in favor OF
the setting apart Of one day in the year

memorial services in behalf of the Con

FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL 81, 1906.

IGNORED by Governor Higgins, who
refused to see them, and yelling like wild
Iedians. mob of 500 Hearst men
charged up the steps Of the Capitol in
Albany, n. Y, yesterday, while the leg
isIalure was IN session, and, pausing at
The doors of the Senate chamber, shout
eli their demands for the passage of the
recount bill. The Senate closed IFS doors
on the crowd, shutting the delegation
out in the corridor, where they shouted
and bowled and made nuisance OF
themselves generally. The mob got as
far "a the big public room in the execu-
tive Offices and gave three cheers for
Hearst for Governor Governor Hlg-
gins heard the uproar and properly re-
fused to come out. The delegation got
away from the leaders completely.
Threats of tar and feathers for Legislators
were uttered, and cries of "Smash in The
door, - Tear down the whole Capt.
fol % alarmed the dOorkeepers. The
Hearst idea of government is, in many
respects, similar to that which prevailed
in France about 1890, when the exercise
OF the right of petition consisted in NOV
ing in a mob on Versailles Or the Tuil-
cries. With such people in power it
would be but a short time before the
county went to the "demuition bow

BACK TO Jerusalem, to jericho, ana
70 Salt and Amman by means OF cleo
trcily is the proposal of German capital
lists. Consul General Dickinson, OF
ConstaDtinople, has reported that the
Sultan OF Turkey has granted conces-
sious to German companies to establish
electric-lighiiDg plants in Jerusalem and
Damascus. 1t is also reported that
franchises have been granted for electric
tramways TO traverse the roads from Je-
russlem TO Jericho, and to Salt and
Amman, in order to connect with the
Hedisz railway, which is now being
built between Damascus aud Mecca
From Damascus electric power is pro-
posed to utilize the river ALBANIA, OF an-
Gent history, nov called the Barada,
which reaches Damascus over rocky
precipitOus course. There is a forecast
in the Bible which some have imagined
refers to electric power. "fhe charlols
shall rage in the streets, they shall Jostle
one against the other in the broad ways;
they shall seem like torches, they shall
run like the lightnings "
