San Francisco, April aI.--For The
first time IN It's history San Francisco
has had its taste Of martial law.
When darkness fell upon the desc
aatsd city every in1abtant Of the
houses that were left standing CROPPED
about their homes in darkness
Early in the evening the survivors Of
the terrible calamity were cooking their
s,,ppsrs on fires built in front of their
houses The wind famed many Of the
fires into nasty hlazes and for a time it
looked as if many new fires wotild be
started. Police orders were issued that
all fires must be put out and with 4
score Of assistants and soldierk the
building of fires in the front Of houses
was sufnmarily suppressed.
In all of the homes left standing no
lights were allowed to be burned In
places where persons lit their lights
contrary to the orders Of the police and
the militia, citizens formed and forced
the occupants to extinguish them, the
only exception was in the case Of the
hospitals. Soldiers patrolled streets
and no citizen was allowed to pass from
one block to another except %bv written
permission of the chief of police.

AL that part of the city east of Van

III will be impossible to at once es-
tabIish the proper sanitary conditions

standing, remains intact there are many
good buildings that can be used as hos
p;tals.
The water supply is encouraging. The
Spring Valley water people believe they
can deliver from 100000 to 100000
gallons daily. This with other sources
not mentioned. will prevent a water

.rssenting, by virtue Of a power Of at

the repayment Of the $500 paid, to City
\ Treasurer Koons iii 1902 for a saloon

would be required TO liquidate. The re-
Iceipt Of the money was made a matter
|of record by the council at the time
Haas applied for the license but when
the city fathers declined to issue, Ii

treasurer a convenient way for letting
him recover his money the best way he
could. It is expected the committee win
report ON the matter at the next regu-
lar meeting Of the council

Washington, April 21.-Although the
congressional record will not show any
difference of opinion between General
Grosvenor of Ohio and Frank Clark of
Florida. the fact is that serious alter
cation between these two gentlemen
was avoided in the house today by the
diplomacy of the minority leader, Viii
,liarlls of Mississippi, who asked the un-
animous consent that the language of
the, gentlemen be stricken from the rec
ord. There was threat of personal
violence on the part of Clark against
the congressman from Ohio. growing
ont of a statement by the latter that
Clark had 'purposely misrepresented
hin" Excitement ran high over the
unparlianler1tary language. The dispute
started over Clark's resolution for a
congressional investigation of the ST..
Elizabeth insane asylum. Williams re-
stored outward peace by. having the OBJ
jectionable language eliminated. ~
