BLOCK AFTER BLOCK BLOWN UP
BUT BLAZE LEAPS ACROSS
INTERVENING SPACE.
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND HOMELESS
MAJORITY OF THE CITY'S RESI-
DENTS FORCED TO SLEEP
WITHOUT SHELTER.

Oakland, Cal, April 20.-The CORE
spondent Of the Oakland Tribune, writ
ing from San Francisco at 10 a. M,
says:
"At this writing there seems to be
practically no hope of saving any of
the city. Those who were sanguine OF
the ultimate success of the firemen in
controlling the flames have now given
up hope and are fleeing from the
flames in despair. Many people are
being burned alive, imprisoned In the
doomed buildings where the rescuers
could not reach them. The last big
structure to burst into flames was
Grace church, at the corner OF Califor-
MIA and Stockton streets. The entire
district from Chanell to Broadway and
from the water front to Octavia and
Golden Gate avenue was mass OF
flames. The st. Francis hotel was one
OF the last big buildings to take fire.
The flames seem entirely beyond con-
troll. Workers have destroyed block
after block of residences with dyna-
mite In the hope of hemming in the
flames, but after each such effort the
blaze would leap across a seeming i'm
possible gulf"

CONGRESS VOTES ASSISTANCE
Resolution Appropriating $1,000, 900 Is
Quickly Adopted.


Washington, April 20.-Soon after
the senate was called to order Mr.
Perkins (Cal) introduced a joint reso-
luton authorizing the secretary of
war to use rations and quartermas-
ters' supplies for the relief of desti-
tute persons In the region devastated
by earthquake and fire In California
and making an appropriation of $780,
600 to relieve the sufferers
The reading of the journal was dis.
pensed with to permit the earliest pos
sible presentation of the resolution. In
Offering it Mr.. Perkins asked for i'm
mediate consideration, dispensing with
the formality Of reference to commit
tee. No objection was made and the
resolution was passed without COM
ment. On request of Mr.. Perkins an
order was passed directing the imme-
date transmittal of the resolution to
the house of representatives.
The senate resolution appropriating
100000 for the relief of the San Fran
cisco earthquake sufferers was amend
ed by the house committee on appro-
priations, the amount being increased
to $1,O00,O00.
AS amended the resolution was
adopted by the house.
The senate without discussion
agreed to the amendments to the SEN
ate resolution for the relief of the San
Francisco sufferers.

FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE DEAD
PROPERTY LOSS AT SAN FRAN.
CISCO PLACED AT FROM
s,5o,ooo,ooo TO $2oo, 900, 900.

San Francisco, April 20 Day
Iawned on a scene of death and de.
struction. During the night the flames
had consumed many of the city's finest
structures and skipped in q dozen di-
rections to the residence portions.
They had made their way over into the
North Beach section and springing
anew to the south reached out along
the shipping section down the bay
shore, over the hills and across toward
Third and Townsend streets. Ware
houses and manufacturers concerns
fell in the path. This completed the
destruction of the entire district
known as the south of Market street.
Down town everything is ruin. Not
a business house stands. Theaters are
crumbled into heaps. Factories and
commission houses lie smouldering on
their former sites. All OF the news
paper plants have been rendered use
less.
1t is estimated the loss In San Fran
cisco will reach from $150,000,000 to
$200,000,000. These figures are in the
rough and nothing can be told until
partial accounting is taken.
On every side there was death and
suffering. Hundreds were injured
either burned, crushed or struck by
falling pieces from the buildings. The
number of dead is not known, but it Is
estimated that at least 500 met their
death In the horror.

EXPLOSIVES EXHAUSTED.
New Misfortune BefaIIs Stricken City
of San Francisco.

New Misfortune 6efalls stricken City
of San Francisco.
Oakland, Cal, April 20.-The fire is
still raging throughout San Francisco
and there is no possibility of stopping
it until it exhausts itself for want of
material. The city is doomed. The
authorities are still dynamiting build
ings in the vain hope of checking the
progress of the flames, but new mis-
fortune has befallen the place. The
explosives for blowing up buildings
are becoming exhausted, even the
powder of the government arsenal be-
ing all gone. Every business building
and half of the residence portion of
the city is destroyed.
The st. Francis hotel and Merchants
Exchange are gone. The Fairmont
hotel Is threatened. A portion of the
Mark Hopkins Institute of Art is de.
stroyed. The entire structure will
probably CO. The Chronicle building
is skeleton. The James Flood build
ing, Market and Powell streets, is
leaning.

are treasures are being removed from
the Hopkins institute.
A detachment of sailors from one of
the warships is assisting the f1remen
at this point.
People are leaving their homes and
fleeing to Golden Gate park and the
Presidio.
Immense Number Homeless.
One hundred thousand people slept
out of doors last night and by tonight
the number of homeless will reach
100000. There is suffering from lack
of food and water already. San Fran
cisco needs help and needs it quick.
One train got in over the Valley route
from Los Angeles with the supreme
court on board. No trains are running
on the coast route.
The new postoffice building at Sew
enth and Mission is gutted and there
are no mail deliveries. The telegraph
and telephone are still out of commits.
sion. Fully three-fourths of all the
buildings in the city will be destroyed.
1t is impossible to estimate accurate
ly the number of people killed or the
property loss.
A noticeable feature of the past two
days Is the calmness of the people.
Perhaps they are dazed, but in any
event they show little emotion.

HOPKINS OF ILLINOIS CHARGES
TiLLMAN OF APPROVING THE
BURNING OF NEGROES.
GAINED SEAT BY ILLEGAL METHODS
SOUTH CAROLINAN ACCUSED OF
SURPRISING coLoRED voT.
ERS IN HIS STATE.

Washington, April 20-A very bit.
ter and acrimonious debate broke out
In the senate during the day between
Senators Hopkins Qll) and Tillman
Is. c.. 1t involved the matter de.
bated few days ago regarding the
Walsh bank failure and ordinations
and recriminations were made by the
two senators. The race issue was In
jected into the debate by Mr.. Hop
kins charging Mr.. Tillman with ap-
proving the burning of negroes in the
South.
Mr.. Hopkins denounced Mr.. Tillman
for trying to regulate the laws of the
land while his own state did not obey
the laws.
Mr.. Hopkins charged Mr.. Tillman
with exploiting himself to secure news
paper notoriety and said he could not
understand why man coming from
"such a state as South Carolina"
should be concerned about the admin
istration of the law in Chicago. where
the people were able to take care of
themselves.
After stating that Mr.. Tillman was a
modern reformer from South Carolina
with white population of $4,000 and
black population of $4,000 Mr.. Hop
kins charged Mr. Tillman with having
reached the senate by suppressing the
negro vote. He asked II Mr. Tillman
would deny having said he had done all
he could to keep negroes from voting.
Does Not Deny the Charge.
"Why should | deny it," answered
Mr.. Tillman, when / put 1t In the
record. l do not deny It,"
Mr.. Tillman, declared Mr.. Hopkins,
was a man most Indifferent to obe-
dience to law in his own state my
God,' he exclaimed, think OF having
here man who gives his approval to
the burning of his fellow creatures
men and women"
The colloquy between Messrs. Till
man and Hopkins continued for some
time. AT the top of their voices the
two senators engaged in wrangling,
one talking on banks and the other on
negroes, until Mr.. Aldrich finally called
for the regular order. Mr.. Tillman de-
clared he would sit down when he got
ready and insisted he was trying to
get Mr.. Hopkins to answer him regard
ing the Walsh bank. The dispute was
renewed and became even more heat
ed Mr.. Tillman repeated that in
South Carolina it was necessary ito de-
stroy the brute who outrages a white
woman in order for the white men to
gain protection for their wives and
daughters"
