TO VOTE FRIDAY ON
TINE r. r. RATE BILL
Speeches Are Now Limited to Fifteen
Minutes, and Debate Is Prac-
tically Ended.

Washington, May 1.-The end of the
rate debate in the senate is in sight, but
what sort of a measure will be passed
is another question. The willingness
of .Aldrich, Kean and Foraker to fix a
duy to vote is, Of course, regarded as
significant, and in some quarters is in
terpreted to mean that the advocates
of the broad court review believe they
lave the votes to win. In fact. it is
declared that .AldriCh claims to have
about 80 votes for the broad re-
view.
The senate will begin voting on the
amendments on Friday, May 4. An ar
rangement to hat effect was reached
yesterday. but it proved impossible to
so extend the understanding as to have
it include the fixing of a date for talk
! ing Il fina vote on the bill as a whole.
Senator Tilllnan proposed Il 1inal vote
on May 9, and Senator Morgan was
the only cnator to make objection. His
opposition was sufficient. however, to
Illustrate the design and the next most
feasible course. the disposition Of
amendments, was decided upon. The
general impression among senator's is
that the final vote Will be reached
within a week from the time OF the be-
ginning of the consideration of amend
mentS.
Most OF the time OF the senate yes
terday was devoted to listening to o
speech by Senator Clark, of Arkansas
He characterized the pending rate bill,
as ineffective in correcting existing
conditions.
The house bill appropriating $l7O,-
600 for the emergency needs of tLc
navy department at Mare island anC
for the postal service at San Francisco
made necessary by the recent Garth
quake was passed by the senate Whc,
it convened.
Scnator Daniel gave notice that HI
would address the senate on the rat
bill today.

b., oullNon, C1net OF san Francisco Ere Department.

San Francisco, April o5.-D. j.. Sui
livan, chief of San Francisco's fire de-
partment, died from the effects of in
%juries received on the morning # the
earthquake.
Chief Sullivan and his wife were
sleeping in the nrehouse adjoining the
California hotel on Bush street. The
earthquake shook down the chimney of
the hotel and sent it crashing through
the t~irehouse. Chief Sullivan and his
wife were carried with the debris two
stories to the ground floor, where they
were extricated after great difficulty.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sullivan We're taken TO
the Southern Pacific hospital, but when
the flameS reached the Mission they
We're again removed to the general
hospital at the Preside. 1t was found
that MI. Sullivan was sufferin, from
a fractured skull, o broken ribs aud
other injuries.

Eddie" Graney. the we'll known
sporting referee, Was with Chief Sui
Ivan from the time the injured mar
was removed from the firehouse IN
til Mr.. Sullivan's death. Mr.. Graney
stated that Chief Sullivan never knew
there was u fire. After recovering con-
seriousness the chief took great inter-
est in the affairs OF the city, being al
ways ap%prehcnsive that u fire would
break out.
Sullivan knew from the first that he
was dying, but never forgot the inter-
ests of his department. His mind
seemed to dwell on the need Of a salt
water f~ire-fghting plant. and he re-
peatedly spoke to his friends Of the
increasing necessity for sue an adj
junct to the fire department Of the city.
Mrs. Sullivan. who suffered serious
injuries, has progressed satisfactorily
and it is believed that She will re-
cover.

INCIDENTS OF FRISCO DISASTER.

Francisco that the earthquake did no
touch, that did not lose a inn or reel
a tremor-AlcatraZ island.
Despite the fact that the island is COW
cred with brick buildings, brick forts ana
brick c%hilnneys. not q brick was loosed,
not a crack made nor a culver felt. When
the scientist comes to write, he will have
his hands full explaining why Alcatraz
did not lave physical knowledge or the
event. The scene from the island was
awe-inspiring. The crash of a falling city
filed the ears Of the aroused island, but
not one understood what is was all about.
There was no earthquake that he knew
about, yet the city a few hundred yards
across the bay was crashing to ruin. NO
man on the island knew what was the
matter until the boat landed at the shat
tered wharves in San Francisco.
Chicago, April 25.-After refusing to join
the medical expedition to San Francisco
Miss Edith r. Maxwell. a nurse. was in
duccd to change her mind by a telegram
from San Jose saying her fiance was
among those injured in the earthquake and
was IN need of her care in an improvtsed
hospital on the southern outskirts Of San

Miss Maxwell had supposed the young
man, Harold G. Livingston. was In Lewis

from him she Immediately began prepare
tons for the journey. When she COM
pleted these she had but fifteen minutes
to drive from her home at 25S Jackson
boulevard, and after a furious run in a

The telegram was from Miss MaxweIs

Berkeley, Cal, April 25.-A hasty
wedding, that dispelled some of the
gloom of the San Francisco disaster
from the hearts Of a number OF refu-
gees, took place in Berkeley Sunday
evening. Robert F. Benham, a young
merchant and prominent citizen OF
Portland, was on his way to San Fran
cisco to wed Miss Mary Louise Hale,
a society girl Of hat city, when the
earthquake of Wednesday morning oc-
Cured. When his train arrived in
San Francisco, the city was in flaming
ruins. After a search of two days,
he located his sweetheart and some of
her friends. They were shelterless and
in dire want, having escaped from the
flames with nothing but their clothing.
Together the party came over to Berk-
eley. where they found friends and
were hastily married. Soda crackers
were used for wedding cake.

Wool Market Slightly Lower.

ginning to have some effect On this
product, quotations of domestic grades
averaging slightly lower for the week.
This is the natural result of less pres

weight woolens Mills are still fairly
busy, but there is less disposition to
prepare for the future, as many goods
will be carried over. Actual changes

figures The London auction sale was
interrupted by fogs, but results were
fairly satisfactory Germany is buy

demand from this country.
"Boston-Wool trading is irregular.
A few dealers and manufacturers have
got together, and fair amount of do
nestle and foreign staple has been
transferred. The general market how
ever, is quiet. No material concessions
can be obtained from leading holders,
who have confidence in an early re-
viyal of active demand, and are sup
ported in their views by the firmness
of foreign markets and the relatively
high cost to import foreign substi-
tutes.'

Too Much for Wheeler.

An amusing incident occurred in
street car while Joe Wheeler was in
congress which gave him great an
nOyance, because he was extremely
sensitive and he did not like to be
leased. He was riding to the capitol
on a rainy day and was seated next
to a large red-faced belligerent-look-
ing woman. Several of his colleagues
were along and he was busy talking
with them when the car stopped at
New Jersey avenue. In an absent
minded way the general jumped up
from his seat and grabbed an umbrel-
la that rested between him and the
woman. He had reached the plat.
form and was just stepping off when
she discovered that her umbrella was
missing and made a rush for him.
The general apolOgized and explained
the mistake in his gentle way, but
the woman was so indignant that she
would not listen to word and insist,
ed upon having him arrested. She
called him a thief and "a nasty little
scoundrel," and told him that he look
ed like a pick-pocket, and bestowed
upon him a torrent of invective. The
poor general was so mortified and non
plussed that he did not know what
