TASK OF REscuERs TOO GREAT
Many Persons Died in Ruins of Build.
mos at Santa Rosa,

.-.-.. -inSS dl odHka ftOSds .
Los Angeles, Cal, April 26.-Com
pared to the population it is now be-
lieyed that in Santa Rosa the greatest
loss of life occurred from earthquake
and fire, even if that unfortunate city
does not lead in the actual number Of
victims. In letter received here from
a former Los Angeles man the writer
says, in part:
This town is in awful shape. There
is not a single brick or stone building
standing and scores of fine residences
are in ruins Fire broke out in the
business district right after the shock
and burned dead and living alike.
There were three big three-story no.
tells, but while all of them fell but one
took fire. From the st. Rose they took
out nine bodies during the day. They
found little girl in these ruins. She
was unhurt, but very hungry and
thirsty, having been buried four days
and nights. The timbers had lodged
so that they protected her. Cases of
this kind have been numerous. There
would undoubtedly have been great
many lives saved if they could have
been gotten out in the first twenty
four hours, but the task was so great
1t was an impossibility."

MAY DAY DISORDERS in PARIS.
Authorities Prepared to Meet Every
EventuaIity,

Paris, April 26:;According to a
semi-official statement made by high
functionary OF the prefecture of police
the military and police are prepared
to meet every eventuality May l. He
said the police canvass shows that
$4,000 men have stopped work, of
which number the disorderly element
does not exceed 100000 Against these
can be sent from $4,000 to $4,000
troops, namely, 10000 infantry, 10000
cavalry and 10000 to $4,000 republican
guards and police. with large addi-
tional reserves. The police will en-
deavor to localize the manifestation to
Place de la Republique, which is the
great labor center, and to the vicinity
of the Labor Exchange. This will pre-
vent the manifestants from gaining
the center of Paris or getting west of
the Place de la Concorde into the resi-.
Dental sections OF the Champs Elysee
or 4Passy. 1t is expected that the
strength of the military and police will
readily enable them to confine the dis
orderly element within its own eastern
sections, thus reducing the demonstra-
ton to isolated atfrays, which should
easily be controlled. -ss. ..-.-

STORM GATHERS
OVER RUSSIA
People Are Indignant at the.
Recently Published
Constitution.

st. Petersburg, April 26.-The polit
ical situation has suddenly grown
threatening The publication Of the
draft of the new fundamental law
or constitution Of Russia, has raised
storm of indignation and amidst the
present general distrust7 of the gov
ernment's motives has furnished just
the stimulus needed to solidfy the en-.
tire opposition in parliament. The
RechN insists that with the realization
of the new Russian loan and under
the false conviction that the reYOlu-
ton is suppressed 'the government
has nott hesitated again to show the
cloven hoof, not even hiding its inten.
ton to dissolve parliament If it is
found to be troublesome" . e-
NJ Brianchaninoff, in the Slovo, calls
the draft OF the fundamental law" 4
mockery, which will be resented by
every honest man, be he member OF
the BLACK Hundred" or Social Rev,
olutionist, and adds:
Such a mixture of lies and false
logic on the eve of the assembling OF
the parliament can only tend to push
the people to a fresh revolution, with
it's attendant cOnfliction and anarchy.
The existing regime seems fated to go
down in blood" r. .-.#
Idle Workin9men Organize.
A real dangerous element in the
situation, however, is not in the attl-
tude of the Liberals, but in the posi-
bility of another upheaval from below
at the very moment when the intel
lectual forces of the country had been
united. For some tine the Social
Democrats and other proletariat' or
ganizations have been trying to ar
range general uprising to coincide
with the convocation of parliament,
but apparently they were making no
headway. Now, however, great
movement among the idle wOrkingmen
of the country has come to the surface
and caused suspicion that this move
ment is simply cover for real up
rising, which is being organized be-
hind it. Big meetings Of men out OF
work held in the suburbs during the
last few nights were attended by Or
ganizers of the Social Democratic
party. A council of men out OF work
has also sprung into existence, like
the famous workmen's council which
directed the big strike of last fall,
Proclamations have been issued call
= + + flr
men out of work, who demand that
the city put them Ito work upon the
construction of new street railroads
and bridges, for which $4,000. 900 has
been appropriated.

Necessity for Working Through Red
e Cross Has Passed.
Washington, April 26.--In a procla-
nation issued during the day Presi-
dent Roosevelt urges the American
people now to send their contribu-
tions for the alleviation of the distress
in San Francisco directly to former
Mayor James D. Phelan, chairman of
the finance committee in San Fran
cisco. instead OF to the American Red
Cross. The president pays high
tribute to the work accomplished by
the citizens committees of San Fran
cisco and indicates that the necessity
for working through the Red Cross
exclusively has passed.
In connection with the proclamation
the president authorized the publica-
tion of telegram which he had sent
to Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco
acknowledging the receipt of a tele-
gram signed by the mayor, Judge Nor
row, ex-Mayor Phelan and others. In
the telegram the president quotes the
proclamation he had issued and then
adds to it as follows:
There was of course absolutely no
question that every sufferer would be
helped simply as sufferer by your
committees as soon as they were Or
ganized and, action through the Red
Cross was simply to fill the gap until
your organization was perfected and
it would of course have been a dere-
LECTION of duty on our part if we had
not at once taken steps to see that the
gap was filled at time when 1t was
impossible for lis to know how soon
you would be organized"

A GRAVE DANGER.

To neglect backache. which is very often the only outward sign that na- tIlre gives of serious trouble in the kidneys, is to give free reign to seri- ous disorders that may end in dropsy, gravel, diabetes or Bright's disease.
 The kidneys filters of the blood lie just beneath the small of the back, on either side of the spine. As soon as there is any inflammation or conges- ton in the kidneys, you notice feel ing of uneasiness in the back, then that dull, throbbing pain, changing to sharp twinges when any sudden strain is brought upon the back. It is hard to straighten after stopping, you feel lame in the morning.
 There will be no danger at any time. however, if you begin using Doan's Kidney Pills as soon as you notice backache or any irregularity of the urine. This medicine is compound of pure roots and herbs that act direct ly on the kidneys. curing, healing and strengthening them. It cures the cause and backache, headache, languor dis appear.
