NIGHT OF TERROR.
The Renewed Exodus Overwhelmed
The EeIrY Facilities.

The Renewed Exodus Overwhelmed
the Ferry Facilities.
San Francisco, April 25.-After a
| night Of terror, broken by frequent
Jremblings Of the earth, thousands
of San Francisco refugees began a
wild fight from the city yesterday.
The renewed exodus overwhelmed
the ferry and other transportation
facilities. Many of those who sought
! escape declared that they were going
inland as far as possible, believing
that the Californian coast is doomed
to destruction.
No less than seventeen distinct
earthquakes have been recorded by
Forecaster Adie, since the big shock
| Of Tuesday morning.
Most of those occurred during the
night, and the refugees in camps and
about $4,000 who had returned to
their home spent a sleepless night.
The chill winds and rain have added
physical discomfort to their terror.
The civil and military authorities
are encouraging the exodus, in the
hope of clearing out the camps as
mach as possible and preventing ill
ness. 1t is regarded as certain that
there will be great deal of sickness
and a large death rate, if the big
camps continue.

TELLS OF CITY OF DEsoLATIoN.
Ey r. II. Hay Chapman.


Los Angeles, Cal, April al re-
turned from San Francisco, where I
had been since Thursday noon
From Van Ness Avenue to the
water front, three miles, is a city of
death, dust aud ashes. The devasta-
tion is indescribable and the destruc-
ton is complete save for gaunt spec
ters Of a dozen steel frame buildings
whose skeletons still stand, but
whose vitals have been eaten by the
flames.
The Call building, the Union
Tru@t, the st. Francis and Fairmonnt
Hotels remain the chief landmarks
in this city of desolation.
Beyond Van Ness Avenue, where
the fire was last stopped in its awful
march Friday afternoon, there are
still the home that shelter $4,000
people, and at least 100000 home
less men, women and children are
camped in Golden Gate Park, on the
unburned hills and on the sand flats
by the sea.
Wonderful order and quiet pre-
vailed till Saturday noon, when l
left Oakland Military guards only
were needed around the Mint, the
vaults of the banks and Shreve's
great treasure house of buried gems.
If there had been pillagers and loot
ers there was nothing to steal in what
was once the heart of San Francisco.
Most of the streets were impossible
for the debris and unsafe from walls
constantly crashing down. Across
Kearny Street we had to climb over
millions of bricks scattered in piles
ten feet high. On Market Street the
cobble pavement on the north side
was sunk two feet below the car
tracks by the earthquake.
Oakland as early as Friday was
harboring many thousands of refu-
gees. Oakland and the Prisidio must
be the two main centers of food dis
tribution.
Gen. Funston and the Southern
Pacific Railroad are the two saviors
of the situation. Funston by his
splendid handling of the troops both
in fighting fire and maintaining or
der has spread confidence, and the
Southern Pacific Railroad by keep
ing the ferry and the trains on the
Oakland side constantly moving has
prevented panic, since every one
who wanted to leave the city has
been able to do so with comparative
ease and safety at any hour of the
day or night.
Nobody slept in the parks Thurs
day night except for brief snatches.
The people gathered around in
groups wherever there was musi-
cal instrument, while men and wom-
en- played and sang to keep up their
own and their fellows courage.
Thursday night no one slept in
doors, the families of millionaires
camping on the doorsteps and on the
lawns of their mansions beyond the
line of fire.
Gen. Funston, Gov. Pardee and
Mayor Schmitz, each of whom now
has a district in charge, fear pesti-
lence more than starvation. At La
fayette Square saw two OF the rich
est men in San Francisco standing
| patiently in line waiting for
''hand-out," which consisted of three
inches of bologna sausage, two tins
Of canned vegetables or fruit and six
soda crackers.
Gen. Funston and the other au-
thorities are taking every sanitary
precaution possible.

huge masses of debris that showered
down upon the street from the
wrecked building.
Women became hysterical. They
were struck down by flying timbers
as they prayed and wept. Men sat on
the street curbing as if dazed by the
catastrophe until some blow from
missiles of the earthquake would
rouse them to the work of rescue or
their own escape.
1T was twenty minutes before
those in the vicinity seemed abel to
realize the extent of the catastrophe.
The crowds became larger, and in
the public squares of the city and in
empty lots thousands gathered.
1T was o'clock before the police
were in control of the situation.
When they finally resumed charge.
the officers directed their energy to
warning the people in the streets
away from danger, many buildings
being on the point of topping over.

Golden Gnte citx,s wenIth.

The assessed valuation of all the
real property of San Francisco for the
present year was $402, 127, ,2G1, and the
personal property was valued at $122,-
2J8, HOG, making a total assessed valua-
ton of S52L3s5GG7. The assessments
equaled about 65 to 40 per cent of the
actual value. On this basis the real
and personal property of the city has
value of $S00,O00,000. Its population
last year was estimated at 100000
Mortgage and goods in stock and
manufacture are not included in this
estimate. The city had one Of the
smallest municipal debts of any large
city in the Union. The water, gas and
electric light plants were not owned by
the city. Its total debt amounts to
only $4,243.372. Its city property, in
cluding parks and municipal buildings,
was valued at S30.5l3,000.

beautiful location, says the New York

tremity of peninsula, it has the Pa
ciiic ocean on one side and San Fran

peninsula juts its northernmost point
into the bay there rises great prom

Next to it and almost as high is Rus

this Is Mob hill. Out toward the ocean
are Mount Olympus and Strawberry

Worlds Seven wonders.
The first lighthouse of which there is
any record in history was built by
Ptolemy Philadelphus about 500 B. c.
1t was tower on which wood fires
were kept blazing at night. 1t was
built on Pharos, a small island in the
bay Of Alexandria, and was one of the
seven wonders Of the world 1t Is an
interesting fact that the modern French
and Spanish names for lighthouse-the
one being phare, the other faro-still
preserve the memory of the island
where the first attempt at seacoast IL
Elimination was located. The ruined
tower in Dover castle, England, erect
ed about \. d. Al, is claimed by some
authorities to have been built for a
lighthouse, upon which an enormous
wood fire was kept burning.
The lighthouse on the southern end
Of the island of Conanicut, at the
mouth Of Narragansett bay. is said to
be the Oldest in the United States. The
present structure is comparatively
modern, but the first one was erected
in 1850, and for nearly 100 years pre-
vious a watchtower, with a beacon
fire. had existed at the same point.
The lighthouse bears the odd name
Of Beaver Tail. The southern portion
of Conanicut island is shaped something
like a beaver, with its tail pointing
southwark, and in early times it was
known by that name, the two extreni-
ties being called head and tail.

will get just a fair chance to show
whether he has in him the making of
a smart naval officer. Prince Louis is
