Another Earthquake.
Another short sharp earthquake
shortly before midnight gave the peo-
pie of San Francisco and surrounding
towns an attack of heart failure. In
spite Of the continuance of these
shocks Forecaster McAdie and other
scientific men declare that there is
little danger of serious disturbances in
these earthquakes, of which there have
been several since the reat shake. They
declare they are due to the "readjust-
ment'' of the earth's crust, following
the heavy shock.
To Rebuild San Francisco.
San Francisco has begun the work
of reconstruction and in a short time
temporary structures will begin to rise
among the ashes of the burned city.
Soldiers made good progress today
in demolishing with dynamite threat
ening walls along Market street near
the ferry. A large force of men is en-
gagged in stringing wires for the troll
ley on Market street and in a few days
cars will be running throughout the
city.
Army to Take Charge.
General Greedy reports this morn
ing: "On consultation between Mayor
Schmitz and General Funston regard
ing the necessities Of the near future,
the mayor urges the army to take
charge of the large districts now
guarded by the state militia. Apart
from other conditions it is evident the
state troops cannot be expected to
serve here any considerable time. 1t
is certain that within ten days an in
creased force of regulars will be ne
cessary to guard property and conserve
public interests. 1 recommend that at
least twenty-five hundred men mostly
cavalry, be sent from outside divisions.
I recommend that the transports War

ERIE COUNTY NOT FOR HEARST.
Reform Element In Buffalo 10 Eager for
Jerome - . Leader. E

BUFFALO, Aug. 21.-Wlliam Travers
Jerome may be the nliying name for the
Democracy Of western New York. which Is
s,IIen because Of the boldness with which
some alleged leaders have endeavored to
foist upon it the handicap Of Hearst. A
trans In Buffalo would magine from
the Democratic papers that Hearst b the
idol Of the Democracy here.
william James Corners, would-be State
chairman, and Norman E. Mack, national
committeeman vie with each other in
loaded articles reciting how early they were
for Hearst and their following await the
opening of the barrel with watering mouths.
The county organization was dragooned
into indorsing Hearst, but the real out and
cutters have awakened to the fact that anti
Hearst men are being picked as delegates
in lea rly every Assembly district.
The organization acted as it did to avoid
a fight al the primaries. This cross current
Of purposes and desires is proving very
obnoxious to the great mass Of the Democ-
racy in this city. Hearst's popularity here
Ia a myth. The great German wards that
gave james N. Adam such a handsome vote
for Mayor last fall want a man Of Adams
type for Governor. and Hearst Is not that
type.
There is considerable sentiment Tor Adam
AZ Governor, but one would not be able to
know It from anything Democratic papers
say. These papers do not like Adam any
more than do the Republican machine men,
though Of that GLASS there are few free
enough OF indictments and suspicion Of
araft to feel at liberty to take the roetrum.
Mayor Adam is now in Scotland and has
eiyen no inkling of a desire to emulate
Cleyeland's climb. In that uncertainty
the sentiment for Jerome, whose clear,
ringing. bold words bind to him the honest
men Of both parties, is rapidly gaining In
strength.
Buffalo has suffered much from grafters,
and the housecleaning Of the city last fall
has whetted the appetite Of the people here
for reform. Higgins and Hearst are not
names to c~onjure with in this neck Of woods.
but Jerome's name arouses confidence
everywhere among the rank and file where
the local sentiment for Adam does not
It. The talk Is for Jerome to
assume the task OF driving the rascals out
OF Albany.
Buffalo has a great interest in the barge
canal project, work upon which has now
begun; and it is apprehensive lest the Sc, 00o,-
600 scandal OF some years G be repeated
In a form ten times worse. Buffalo Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike would rally to
Jerome as against any candidate Of chioan-
ery and machine.
