ALL AID FOR FRISCO
SYMPATHY and RELP COMES
Every PART OF The WORLD.
New York City Raised Nearly Ten
Million Dollars for Sufferers in San
Francisco-london, Paris, Berlin
and Other Foreign Cities Send
Gold-Every City in v. S. Helps.

New York.-The appeal of San
Francisco has been heard throughout
the civilized world. From every city
and town in this country, from Euro
pean capitals and some far east com
munities comes news that all huma-
nifty in expressing its sympathy is also
Offering enormous material assist
ance.
1t is estimated Sunday night that
the San Francisco relief fund is
rapidly nearing the total of $lO,000,.
0G0, and will have passed that figure
by Monday when the United States
congress, it is announced, will add
81 100000 to the $l,O00,000 already
appropriated.
In the list of generous contributors
New York city ranks next TO the gov
eminent itself and bids fair to far eX-
ceed the federal contribution. Tonight
the New York fund amounted to ap-
proximately S2,O0O,O0O, with contribu-
tiOns coming in fast.
The state of Massachusetts has un-
dertaken TO raise $4,000 900, and with
Bostons generous help is well on the
way to the goal. Chcago's fund is ap-
preaching $l,000,000, and promises to
go beyond that sum. Philadelphia will
send 100000. A score or more cities
are contributing 100000.
Portland will probably raise close to
S250,000. Pittsburg has given 100000,
Cleveland 100000, st. Louis 100000,
Sacramento 100000, and Seattle $40,-
600 already, with much more in sight.
Nor is the work or raising relief
funds confined to the large cities.
From every section, every state comes
the news of contributions made by
small towns. Not large in themselves,
their aggregate will be enormous.
Cncountcd thousands are sending
contributions, and the grand total Of
tie relief fund will probably never be
known. Across the seas, in London,
Paris, Berlin, wherever Americans
congregate. a generous inflow of gold
Is reported.

RITZVILLE
STEEL BLOCKS LEFT STANDING.
Flames Ruin What the Earthquake
Fails to Do.

A trip through the burned districts
of San Francisco revealed Il scene of
unspeakable desolation.
From many points on Market street
as far as the eye could reach in any
direction there was nothing but skele-
ton walls and smoldoring ruins.
1t shoIld he borne in mind that San
Francisco was not destroyed by the
earthquake.
While old buildings in that part of
the city which stood ON made" ground
east of Montgomery street. and some
of that district lying south of Market
street. ii is true. suffered from the
shock. ii was fire that wrought the
great devastation and wiped out the
entire business section and probably
half of the residence section of the
city.
The great modern steel structures
were practically unnjured by the
earthquake except for cracked walls
ard displaced plaster. All these great
structures. of course were subsequent
J." ruined by the flames, so far as the
interior is concerned, but the walls are
in most cases intact
The most notable cases of practical
immunity from the shock were the St.
Francis hotel, the Spreckels building
Tie Chronicle building and scores of
other modern structures.
The branch of the United States
mint and the new postofIice at Sew
rnth and Mission StrnptS are striking
examples of the superiority of the
workmanship put into federal biuld-
ings. The old mint building surround
ed by wide space of pavement. was
absolutely unharmed. Not even the
few palm trees which stand on either
side of its broad entrance were with
cred by the flames that devoured
everything around it. The new post
Office building also was virtually UNI
damaged by fire.
The shock did some damage to the
entrance to the building. The walls
are uninjurcd. Every window pane,
of course, is gone. as they are in al
most every building in town, but the
government will be able to resume
postal business Immediately. The
Fairmount hotel, which is seriously
damaged in the interior, is left intact
as to the walls and the management
has offered space in the building to
any of the relief committees that de-
sire to house the homeless or store
supplies in those parts of the building
considered safe
