The samuri were the feudal war
riors of Japan, who, previous to the
revolution of 1S67-6S, comprised about
one-sixteenth of the population, there
being about 400, 200 families. Indomit-
able courage, fervent patriotism and
intense loyalty were their most strik-
ing characteristics, and they CORE
sponded to the knights Of medieval
times. They were a class apart and
intermarried among themselves and
had the right to wear two swords.

Society on the Ground.
Society is on the ground, face to
face; every artificial barrier is swept
away. The social distinctions built up
in fifty years have been obliterated
with the same swiftness and 1nality
shown by the flames toward property.
The loss of life is small, the loss Of
social position colossal. Down to the
elements, now nothing counts. Money
has momentarily lost its purchasing
power; servants, luxury, habits, pres
tige-yes, amity, feuds, hatred, jealousy
and contempt have disappeared. HUI
mainly is the fiat, and every n is on
the level.
Leveling o Samples.
You can see the chief of police in San
Francisco as easily as you could see
the sheriff Of the most backwoOds
county in Arizona. He sits in the win
dow Of a corner grocery, and as you
pass on the sidewalk you glance at his
bright face and hear his hearty laugh.

tunate papers, after much maneuver-
ing, has managed to command a Sec
ond-foor bedroom, the nature of whose
previous occupants is attested by the
notice still hanging from the chande-
1ier, which reads: Don't blow out the

An Enormous Exodus.
A count Of the homeless in the three
big camps, Golden Gate park, Fort Ma
son and the Preside, shows but 10, 900
in the park, 5000 at Fort Mason and
5000 in the Preside. About four thou
sand Chinese and Japanese are en-
camped near Russian hill. These fg-
ures indicate an enormous exodus since
Sunday. At that time the estimate was
100,0 900 in the three big camps. There
ARE 10000 in camps in Oakland Berke>
ley and Alameda. A number estimated
at 100, 900 have found shelter under
roofs, all others must be content with
tents.
One of the greatest tasks yet to be
performed is in that portion of the
city which escaped the flames. Practi-
cally every house standing lost all
chimneys, necessitating the issuance Of
an order prohibiting the building of
fires until chimneys are rebuilt. House
wives, whether 1t blew a gale or rained
torrents, uncomplainingly cooked meals

SO cold that many women and chill
