for the pluck and courage of the peo
pie of stricken San Francisco:
San Francisco, April %, 1906.
One cannot possibly conceive the sit

bumps" into one of the most horrible
catastrophies in history. 1t has no
equal. / cannot possibly describe it.
1t is beyond tongue or pen.
Think of standing at the corner of
Cough street and Golden Gate avenue
and getting fine view of Mission
Rock and the Pacific Mail steamship
wharf,
Think of standing on the deck of the
Alameda at the foot of Pacific street
and having a practically unobstructed
view of Bernal Heights!
Think of standing at the corner of
California and Powell streets and not
being able to see a building but those
in ruins except beyond Van Ness ave
nue., and many of those gone.
The fire came up to the back doors
of the houses on Golden Gate avenue,
between Cough and Octavia streets.
The great fight was made there.

melody, with the undertone of a dirge
running through it. We watched its
progress with feverish interest during

laughed at it's feeble efforts; in vain

Today.

HOUSTON, Tex, June 19.-The ne
groes of this city and surrounding dis
tricts are celebrating Emancipation
day in a more elaborate manner than
usual. The celebration will last two
days and has attracted several thou
sand negroes from the vicinity to the
city. The principal feature of today
is the rand gindustrial street
parade, which will include many floats,
illustrating the accomplishments of the
negroes as merchants. builders, manu-
facturers and tradesmen. Many civic
organizations will be represented in
the parade. Tomorrows feature will
be the flower parade. Emancipation

prominent speakers will address the

PREFERENCES TO Be CONSIDERED
Hereafter Only Through Su
perior Qualifications.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 19-Ar-
tillery officers who want special duty
may be able to get it hereafter by vir-
tue of a system which the acting chief
of the corps, Colonel G. F. E. Harrison
has recommended He believes that it
would be advantageous to alloy artil-
lery officers to express their prefer
ence for detached duty or for stations.
These expressions are to be kept on
file in the office of the chief Of artil-
lery and are to be consulted when
ever it is necessary to make a change
in location or a transfer of an officer
from one duty to another. OF course,
personal preferences cannot always be
allowed to control, but where it would
not interfere with the public interests
to do so, it is proposed to consult this
list, and thus contribute to the con-
tentment of officers most directly con-
cerned by such changes. 1t is expected
that this plan will be adopted and, per-
haps, extended to other branches of the
army service.

Secretary Agrees 10 Allow Addition
al Money
FOR SEVERAL WASHINGTON PROJECTS
TETON, sUNNYsIDE AND YAKIMA
INDIAN RESERVATION LANDS
TO RECEIVE MONEY.

Additional funds for irrigation pro-
jects in Washington are assured by
an agreement reached between the Sec
rotary of the interior and Represen-
tative Jones, says dispatch from
Washington.
Mr.. Jones some days ago made an
investigation on his own account to
learn what the amount of the land
office receipts of the government was
likely to be during this fiscal year.
Several months ago the secretary of
the interior approved several irriga-
ton projects, including three in the
state of Washington but the amount
of funds allotted to Washington was
limited by the prospective growth of
the general reclamation fund between
then and 1905
1t was estimated that the receipts
from the land office which are available
for this fund would not exceed $780,
900 in the fiscal year ending June 80,
1906.

Thirty Soldiers Will Be Given a
Chance for Commissions
RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS At COLLEGE,
IF THEY PASS THE EXAMINATION
THEY WILL BE APPOINTED
BY THE PRESIDENT.

FORT LEAVENWORTH, KAN, More
than thirty enlisted men of the army
will be placed under instructions here
during the next two months, in prep
aration for their final examination for
appointment as second lieutenants in
the army. These candidates will have
to their credit the commissions which
remain vacant after the appointment
of the graduates of the military acad-
envy later this month. 1t is within the
the remaining vacancies between the
qualified enlisted men and such .civili-
several hundred applications from that
source. There is the greatest interest
the authorities find, in these appoint
ments, and the civilians show a great
desire to enter the army at time when
promotion to higher grades threaten to
be more impeded than ever before.
This prospect Of stagnation is veri-
table problem which army officers have
undertaken to solve, the most formid
able measures of relief being system
of elimination devised by General Will
lam CroZier, the chief of ordnance of
the army The enlisted men who have
come up for special instruction with
a view to appointment to army COM
missions, are not at all disheartened by
the prospect, and probably knowledge
of the unprOmising outlook of being
old lieutenants does not deter civil
ians with military ambition from
sending in their applications.
