WASHINGTON April Ex-senator
La Toilette will continue today his adj
dress in the United States senate on the
railroad rate bill, devoting his especial
attention to the subject of the over
valuation of railroads and contending
for an amendment for the bill author
izing the interstate commerce commits
sion to determine the correct valuation
of railroad property as the only proper
means of arriving at just and reason-
able rates.
He will probably conclude during the
day.
There is as yet no definite under
standing as to who will follow him,
but it is probable that Senator Spooner
will do so.
The general opinion is, however. that
the debate will continue throughout the
week, although many of the senators
are becoming very restless under the
long drawn-out controversy and many
intimations are heard that an agree
ment to vote may be suddenly arrived
at almost any time after Mr.. Spooner
shall have had an opportunity to make
his reply to Mr.. Bailey.

MANY CHINESE (.
ARE HOMELESS
ny Associated Press.

Bv Associated Press.
. SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-One of
the worst problems facing the relief
committees on both sides. of the bay
is the sheltering of the Chinese. Most
of them, rich and poor alike, are alb
solutely penniless and destitute.
1t has long been question in San
Francisco what should be done with
Chinatown, and moving the Chinese in
the direction of Colma has been agitat-
ed. Now they are without homes and
without prospects of securing land.
They can get no land.
The limits of Oakland's Chinatown
have already been, extended, and the
strictest police regulations are in force
to prevent further enlargement. On this
side of the bay they are camping in
open lots, but of course this is the mer-
est temporary shelter.
Unless the government undertakes
their relief they are in grave danger.
Those who have money cannot pur-
chase property, as no one will sell to
them.
Few, however even of the richest
merchants in Chinatown saved any
thing of value, for their wealth was in
vested in the Oriental village which had
sprung up in the heart of the burned
district.

Surrounded by evidences of one of

ST. PETERSBURG, April 22.-
Throughout the week the newspapers
have made features of numerous let
ters and articles in denunciation of
the treatment Maxim Gorky has re-
ceived in the United States, some of
them satirizing Americans as phari-
sees and fat swine and denouncing
them for their hypocritieal adherence
to conventionalities.
The Twentieth Century. formerly the
Russ, sneeringly remarked that the
Americans were touched by Gorky's
tribute to the "bronze idol' of Liberty
in New York harbor, but were terribly
offended when he attempted to place
his idea of liberty into practice.
The paper declared that every book
of Mark Twain, whom Russians have
previously esteemed, hereafter will be
branded as shameful hypocrisy because
he Joined the prosecutors of the de
fender of the rights of man."

In three days 1 have seen order

pie supplied with food in plenty have
seen men, women and children who
have knelt in the gutter to catch few
drops of water, drink with the joy that
only thirsty man can feel-drink UNI
til they could drink no more.
San Francisco the day before the
earthquake was a wonderful city, San
Francisco the day after the earthquake
was a pitiable ruin. but today San
Francisco is a monument to what
strong men can do in the time of awful
distress.
San Francisco is not off the map.
True, one-third of the city is gone, but
that is ALL The men who are at the
head of affairs are leaving nothing un-
done which human efforts can do to-
ward restoring that third.
West of Van Ness avenue all is safe.
Only the paneless windows and shat
tered glass which covers the streets tell
of the disaster in this part of the city.
Plead PitifuIIy for Water
Water, at first the great want of the
city, has been supplied, and in plenty.
Today connection with Lake Merced
was re-established and as result thir-
teen million gallons of water was placed
at the disposal of the city.
What that water means to San Fran
cisco only those who were here today
can fully realize.

The sewers, or those which still re-

passed down far, Z may be brought up
by simply giving the child a sharp slap
between the shoulders, or by turning
him upside down and holding him by the
feet, and then slapping his back. If this
does not bring up the object, the mother
should try 10 reach it with her finger:
but when the article swallowed has
reached the stomach, give the oabv

baked potatoes, which will form soft
coating about it and help to bring it
safely through the stomach and in

of giving cathartic to hurry tie body
