Il Tries the Souls of Men.

Distance lessons for us the horror of
the scenes at the stricken coast city;
our im~aginations are not equal to- the
tragedies that have taken place there.
As was the case with the Galveston flood,
the survivors of ths demolished city
are the only ones that can ever appre-
ciate what really has taken place.
There is no speculation as to the
outcome of this disaster. From the
debris of that beautiful city that was
will arise another more beautiful, more
majestic and more powerful in the
commercial world.
But in the meantime the commercial
spirit Of man is sorely tried. The COM
mercial mind can calmly calculate the
results that are to follow Immediately
upon the sad scenes Of the life and
home. No Imagination is necessary to
hear the crashing of the great business
institutions that have been the boast of
the western metropolis; we see the fall
of banking institutions, and the insur-
ance companies, and we begin to feel
the awful effect of these accommodating
disasters as the electric shock of the
industrial earthquake begins to spread
and make itself felt at the extremity of
every strand of the huge web the cap
tains of industry have woven about
San Francisco.
1t comes home to US. we of the State
of Nevada. Our merchants will be
called upon by the great business
houses of the demolished city; they
will in turn call upon their customers
With many of the business men of oul
State this means the establishment Of
credits and business relations in new
and untried fields. Even at this early
hour the banking institutions of Ne
vdda are beginning to say mot now Il
their customers. S~tagnation OF tn
money market is here for a brief space
how long we cannot estimate.
This is the time when men are to bt
tried. Cool heals an | stout hearts art
necessary for the best interests of ever.

keep his mental equili brium. AT thi

DAYS Of Panic Over in San Francisco
Citizens Are Once More Taking Up
the Routine of Business With
Courage--Line of Fire Is
&c Miles in Length

Over one week has gone by since the awful disaster OF earth
quake and fire which blotted out threefourths of San Francisco,
and now the citizens are settling down to normal conditions OF work,
striving by every means in their power to make the best OF their
troubles and again take up their everyday burdens.
The latest and most reliable estimate of the dead places the
number of victims at approximately 500. All of tn. injured are
receiving treatment in the emergency hospitals of the city and In
nearby towns. Doctors and nurses are not needed. Enough have
already reached the stricken city. The only imperative demand s
for tents. bedding, cots, disinfectants and other drugs, enough food
to afford temporary relief having already reached the scene. But OF
course this good and great work of feeding the hungry must IN some
degree be maintained for weeks
Complete order has been restored and thousands of refugees
continue to leave daily.

the outbreak of the civil war as a
lieutenant of volunteers. He dis
tinguished himself for gallantry in
many actions, and was voted a
special medal by congress. During
the Indian wars in the west he was
with General Miles and he served
in the Indian fights, and notably in
the campaign against Geronimo. He
lived through many hard fought
and perilous campaigns and has
probably had more experience with
American frontier life than any 9th
er officer in the army.
General Weston is about 60 years
of age, is thin, wiry and griZzled,
with shrewd, humorous gray eyes,
a hearty laugh and a vocabulary
of purely ornamental profanity. He
is adored by the younger officers
of the army.
Tasker H. Bliss is one of the
young brigadier generals. He will
be remembered by the public as the
first collector of customs in Cuba
under the Wood regime. He was a
captain in the commissary depart
ment during the Spanish-American
war, and for his unusual ability dis
played at that time, and while col
lector in Cuba, was marked by his
superior officers as a man worthy
of promotion. His promotion, how
ever, to the rank of brigadier gen
eral, being as it was a jump over
the heads of score or more O.
older officers, provoked consider
able jealousy.
Brig. Gen. Jesse M. Lee is one o
the most dashing officers of tn,
army. He served with credit during
the civil war; was on Genera
Miles staff as adiutant general
though holding the rank of onl
lieutenant. He was designated t.
command the department of Texa
about year ago, but upon his owl
application was sent to the PHILIP

things hum in the coming session
of parliament 1t will insist on
consideration being given at once
to the most important of its meas
ures. Its first act will be to
strengthen the position of British
trade unions. According to re-
cent decision of the British courts,
an employer whose property is
damaged by a striker, can bring
an action against the trade unions
to which the striker belongs, and
recover the full amount of the dam
age. The labor members OF the
house of commons will introduce a
bill that will certainly be passed,
specifically declaring that trade
unions are not responsible for the

No doubt remained as to the in
tention of the war department to
send these troops to China when it
was learned that the commissary

Orders were issued this week to

S ECIAL INTERESTS THAT
HAVE FATTENED HERETO
FORE, WILL HAVE TO SIT
BACK FOR THE WORKING
MEN WITH THEIR 81 SEATS.

LONDON, Feb. ga new po-
litical party directly chosen from
the workingmen of Great Britain,
and unlike any other party in any
of the worlds parliaments, has
come to the front in the general
elections in the united kingdom. In
the house of commons it has 81
members, nearly 10 per cent Of the
total membership.
1t is not like the socialist party
that Is strongly represented In the
various legislatures of the rest OF
Europe. 1t has gone to Westmin-
ster simply to look after the inter-
ests of labor and does not intend to
bother itself with trying to influ-
ence national legislation not direct
ly affecting the workingmen Of
Great Britain.
During the GAL years the house
of commons has been in business,
it has had an endless number Of
groups among it's members looking
after special interests, ranging
from ecclesiastical affairs to rail-
ways and breweries, but never be-
fore has it had a compact party
directly chosen from among the Ia
borers of the country, and pledged
to spend their time in lettering the
conditions of workingmen in prac-
teal ways. Among the labor men,
bers are 10 miners, seven factory
hands, five printers, four carpen-
tiers, three grocers, two engineers,
stone cutters and bricklayers, one
farm hand, railway brakeman, sail
or, pilot, blacks NTH and cooper
Meeting Expenses.
The labor party is divided into
four groups; 25 radical labor mem
| bers, 20 labor representation social
lists, nine labor representation
unionists and seven Fabians. There
is no salary paid to members of the
British parliament, and those labor
members who are compelled to
give up their trade to attend to
| their legislative duties are given
salaries by their trade unions, av.
eraging $1,000 year each. The
trade unions also pay the election
expenses of all the labor candi
dates who could not find the money
themselves. This amounted tC
$4,000 at the recent elections
The workingmen raised their cleo
ton funds by an extra tax on them
selves and they will pay the sala
