The Consideration However Will Continue
 During the Week
Senator La Toilette Will Proceed With His Argument in Favor of Amendment to Squeeze Water Out of Rail road Corporations

Washington, April 22.-Senator La Toilette will continue tomorrow his ad- dress in the United States senate on the railroad rate bill, devoting special attention to the subject of the over valuation of railroads and contending for an amendment to the bill authoriz- ing the interstate commerce commis- sion to determine the correct valuation of railroad property as the only proper means of arriving at just and reason able rates. He will probably conclude during the day.
 There is as yet no definite under standing as to who will follow him, but it is probable that Senator Spooner will do so. Indeed, there has been no definite announcement that any other senator would make a speech on the railroad rate bill. and it is probable that no one else has completed a speech. The general opinion is. how ever, that the debate will continue throughout the week, although many of the senators are becoming restless under the long drawn out controversy and many intimations are heard that an agreement to vote may be sudden ly arrived at almost any time after MT. Spooner shall have had an opportunity to make his reply to MT. Bailey.
 In case there should be Hull in the railroad bill debate, Senator CIapp will

 NO PLACE FOR IDLERS
We'll Dressed Hen Forced to Work at
 Point Of BayOnet.

San Francisco. April 22.-The sol diers and the police are forcing every available man in the downtown district of the city to work, no matter where they are found or under what condi- tions. One party of four men that came down town in an automobile yes terday were stopped on Market street by the soldiers. The well dressed men were ordered out of the machine and compelled to assist in clearing the de- bris from Market street so that pro- visions may be hauled up through the center of the city. Then the automo- bile was loaded with provisions and sent out to relieve the hungry people in the park.
 Men coming from the unburned dis trict in the western addition with the intention of crossing the bay to go to Oakland and Berkeley were stopped in the down town section and put to work One case which attracted attention was that of a young man, who was pressed into service by the soldiers. He was clad in 2 fashionable summer suit straw hat and kid gloves. The minute the guards caught sight of him he was

HEALTH CONDITIONS IMPROVED.

San Francisco. April 22.-The board of health reports very encouraging health condition considering the cir cumstances. Sickness is constantly on the decrease. There are very few con tagiOus diseases and these are being attended at Deer Lodge, in Golden Gate Park. Sanitary conditions in the residence districts are being inn proved.
 Most of the sickness is among the people who are living out of doors, and it is upon these cases that the board of health is concentrating most of it's attention. Hundreds of volunteer doc tors. dentists. nurses. and helpers are at work Ever since fire broke out there mas been no lack of volunteers for every kind of work.

mating the total number of casualties and exaggerated reports have resulted.
 The health of the scores of thous- ands camped in the open air is re- markedly good. There have of course, been several cases of pneumo- mia reported and colds are quite com mon, but there is nothing like an epi- deTic of pneumonia. The board of health reports that there is very little contagious disease and for the treat ment of those cases special hospitals have been provided. An interesting item from the Golden Gate park dis trjct today was the report of the birth of eighteen babies. These cases have received prompt and efficient atten tiOn and mothers and children were removed to the various hospitals.
 The city is being fed from three large sources and innumerable supply stations. There aN from 2OO.000 to 3OO 900 people fed daily; there is plen ty of flour and bread. and if the wholesale men would come forward it would serve to help out in the difficul ties. There are eighteen bakeries be- ing operated but some of them have been charging p and 90 cents for a loaf of bread. The committee sent out a warning that cents would be the price of bread per loaf.
 The city auditor. treasurer, tax col Iector and city attorney have been es- tabIished temporarily in makeshift quarters, and are making prepara- tions tc resume the work of their of fees The vaults of the treasurer. au- dtir. and tax collector are intact. The tax collector will be in position to resume the collection of taxes in few days. and there is no doubt that all tn.' officials and other employees of the city and county of San Francisco will re- ceive their salaries.

THE wAJER SUPPLY.
There will Be Enough to Meet the
 City's Needs.

San Francisco, April 22.-Experts of the Spring Valley Water company who have been engaged in making a thor ough examination of the mains and reservoirs of the system have reported that the company has in it's reservoirs enough water to supply the city at the regular rate of 35.OOO.OOO gallons per day for a period of six hundred days.
 The only immediate problem is get ting this amount of water into the city. Already pipes are being repair ed in connections and a supply of G. 00O0OO gallons is daily coming from Lake Mercedes
 Within few hours another supply of 5000. 900 gallons daily will be pour ed into the city from College Hill sta tion. This will furnish water to the northern section of the city Already water is being supplied 10 the Pacific heights district and with an additional supply of 4OO0,OO0 gallons daily, which is assured from lines that will be re- paired within a day or two the city will, within four days, be receiving a daily supply of between 16.OO0.OO0 and 17,O00.OOO gallons, wnich is practically equivalent to half the amount that was being furnished to the entire city prior to the earthquake This makes it certain that the city will be habita- ble almost immediately, the food sup ply already being assured.
 STREET CARS RUNNING.
 San Francisco, April 22.-San Fran cisco is not now without passenger transportation. Cars are running down Fillmore street today and appear to have plenty of power. The service is free to all with the exception of boys. The cars on Sutter and Pacific avenue will probably be run by horses.

Unable longer to withstand the pleadings of their children, mothers poured small quantities of the fiery liquid into tin cans and other avail able receptacles and gave to the tots to drink. The natural result was to increase the bangs of thirst twenty fold and the sight of woebegone, stag geFing children was witnessed by ob- servers.

The circumference of the great conflagration area is. as near as could be ascertained by the marking of a cyclometer. twenty miles. and comprises the entire business district and a large section of the residence district, all of which was densely pop ulated
 It was estimated today by compe- tent insurance authorities that the loss will aggregate S30O.OOO. .OO0. and on this vast amount of property the in surance companies carried approxi- mately S175.OOO 900 insurance.
 The total number of bodies recover ed and buried up to Sunday night is 500. No complete record can be had at this time as many bodies have been buried without permits from the coro- ner and the board of health. The searchers of the coroner and the board of health department found today not more than twenty bodies. They were buried immediately. Few of these bod ies could be identified and the graves were marked by numbers.
 It is impossible to obtain any sort of death list or even to make a reliable estimate as to the number of casual ties. Whenever a body is found it is buried immediately without any for 4.Eality whatever. and as these burials i've been made al widely separated I-rts of the city by different bodies of searchers. who do not even make a proper report to headquarters. consid- erable confusion has resulted in esti

 HURT BY EARTHQUAKE
His Last Thought was a City Fire
 Fighting System.

San Francisco, April 22.-Chief J. D. Sullivan of the San Francisco fire de- partment, passed away at 1:10 o'clock this morning from the effects of in- juries received on the morning of the earthquake. Chief Sullivan and his wife were sleeping in the fire house ad- joining the California hotel, on Bush street.

Chief Sul- livan and his wife were carried with the debris two stories to the ground floor where they were extracted after great difficulty.
 MT. and Mrs. Sullivan were at once taken to the Southern Pacific hospital but when the flames reached the Mis- sion they were again moved to the gen eraI hospital at the Presidio. Ii was found that Mr. Sullivan was suffering from d fractured skull. four broken ribs and other injuries Eddie Graney was with Chief Sullivan from the time he was removed from the fire house until his death MT. Graney today stated that Chief Sullivan never knew there was fire.
 After recovering consciousness, the chief took great interest in the affairs of the city, beings always apprehensive that a fire would break out He knew that he was dying from injuries but never forgot the interests of his depart ment. His mind seemed to dwell on the need of a salt water fire fighting plant and he repeatedly spoke to his friends of the increasing necessity for such an adjunct to the department of the city.
 Mrs. Sullivan, who suffered serious injuries, has progressed satisfactorily and it is believed she will recover.
