Francisco during the earthquake and
saw the city hall fall. He declares
that not less than 5000 people were

G.. M. Emmons of Pittsburg, Pa, said
when the shock came the first thing he
thought of was to get pictures for the
home papers. He rushed to the win
dow and took snap shot of the fall
ing buildings. Later in the day he
spent two hours taking pictures of
yawning cracks in the earth, burning
buildings and piles of corpses. He IS
carrying the plates with him to Pitts

Omaha at any price.
John F. Collins of Omaha arrived
home Monday night on Union Pacific
train No. 6. He was greatly fatigued
and stated that he was sadly in need
of rest after the terrible experiences
through which he had passed.
II was in the Alexander apartment
house, near the st. Francis hotel,
when the first shock was felt. The
sights that 1 saw are too horrible to
tell about now. i wish 1 could forget
some of the things that l was forced
to witness. l am glad to have escaped
with my life, although 1 lost part of
my baggage. 1 will be better prepared
to tell the story after 1 have some
sleep and rest"
On the train with Mr.. Collins came
Harry Cartan. He was in the st. Fran
els hotel when the first shock rocked
San Francisco. He lost everything but
the suit of clothes which he had on
whe he reached Omaha, but stated that
his loss was as nothing to what some
suffered.

on the state railroad commission for
relief. Cattle were being held and
nothing could be. done To take the
cattle across the river by boat was
impossible, as the COM

Beet Sugar Men Are Planning Com blnation With Democrats to Get the Philippine Tariff

Washington. January (Special)-The internal affairs of China are regarded here as critical. It is the confident belief that an uprising of the people may be ex- pected at any time which will surpass in magnitude the Boxer movement of several years ago. That the United States government Is preparing to preserve the rights of American citizens was made evil dent today by the order sending addl- tional troops to the Philippines among the general officers being Gen. John F, Weston, a native of Louisville, and only few months ago assigned to St. Louis These troops are to take the places of the American forces which before long, under Bliss or Funston, may be in Chi nese territory.
 It was announced at the war depart ment today that two brigade posts are to be established in the vicinity of Manila, one at Fort Mckinley and another at Fort Stotzenberg, to be commanded by brigadier generals. With reference to the sending of two additional regiments to the Philippines, it was admitted at the war department that the possibility of eondi- tons that may arise in China had an influence on the sending of additional forces. It was explained, however, that the government has no knowledge of any situation In China at this time which makes 1t even probable that any emer- gency might arise, but that as China is undergoing a change, there Is the pos sibility that American interests may re- quire protection, and this government de- sires to be in the forehand in the, mat ter of precautionary measure,
 It was stated that Generals Bliss and Funston may be assigned to the brigade posts.

FRENCH BANKERS
 GROW SKEPTICAL
RUSSIA IS TRYING TO FLOAT AN OTHER LOAN, BUT FRENCHMEN THINK THEY HAVE RiSkED ENOUGH.

Paris. January 6.-The marked weak ness of Russian government securities on the bourse today is attributed to the re- fusal of the French banks to entertain the proposals for another Russian loan of approximately $160, 900, ,OO0 Negotiations for the loan have been pending for a long time, being first deferred on account of internal disorders in Russia.
 These having calmed down, the Russian financiers considered the time opportune to reopen the question, and M. Kokofsof, the former Russian minister of finance, has been here comforting with Premier Rouvler and the local bankers. It is understood that M Rouvier is inclined against the loan on the ground that suf- ficient French capital is already invested in that quarter.
 The bankers took the position that the present monetary conditions and the dis turbed political situation over Morocco made it unwise to float any Russian loan at the present moment. However they indicated their willingness to give relief to Russian finances in another form by advancing gold to the Russian state bank against suitable guarantee in order to maintain the bulllsh reserve and protect the rouble against depreciation. Plans are still under discussion for the purpose of making short time advances, which would ensure the continued stability of Russian finances until a propltous mo- ment arrives for the Notation of d loan.
