The Reportlne Of tho disaster.


The work Of the Associated Press and
Us agencies in reporting the results of
the earthquake in California for its patrons
OF the afternoon press, yesterday, was so
marvellous as to challenge admiration and
excite wonder.
BY the destructive effects of the earth
quake the telegraph lines leading out of
San Francisco were almost paralyzed.
Until mid-alternoon the only wire service
from th4t city was over the lines of the
Postal Telegraph Co.. and it was inter-
rupted shortly before o clock. The final
dispatch, printed in Every Evening latest
edition, closed abruptly with the an
nouncement by the Associated Press:
"Wre trouble-lost Frisco
And yet with these limited facilities
Of transmission, the Associated Press re-
port direct from San Francisco, as printed
in Every Evening, comprised nearly 5000
words. And every word was applied to
imparting a comprehensive story of the
terrible destruction. No time or effort
was wasted in padding" or Inexpensive
"word painting, but all energies we're
employed in telling of facts. And facts
they we're, hard, unsympathetic, but
applying directly TO the situation as IL
existed. They came in rapid succession,
like shots from a repeating rifle telling
the details Of the great destruction that
had been wrought in the city. And they
were ably supplemented by reports from
other centres Of information.
Nor was the element of heroism lack
ing in this work. There was danger in
gathering the news, there was danger
in placing il on the wire. The building
of the Postal Telegraph Co. was wrecked
and il was threatened by flames. From
the latter danger the operators who
handled the telegraph keys could possibly
guard themselves through posting picket'
to give timely warning, but they worked
in the face of a danger that could not be
foretold that of the building falling upor
them at any moment. TO do such work
under such circumstances was an exhibi
tion of magnificent nerve and indomitablg
courage, beyond the power OF words tc
adequately describe.
Those who read Every Evening were
able to obtain this mastery presentation
of the situation in San Francisco, yester
day, to an extent that no other newspaper
in this city or vicinity could attempt tC
| rival.

The FIood Of ImmIrratIon.

The Immigration Bureau Of New York
City is confronted this week with the
greatest army Of aliens that ever invaded
this country. The exact number ashore
and ahoat is 46.305 Nearly two-thirds
of these are young men, either coming to
marry their sweethcarts or to get money
TO send home for them. They como from
every part Of Europe and some Of them
oven from beyond in Asiatic Turkey and
Russia. They represent every language
spoken by white people.
Tho indications are that 100000 new
citizens will reach our shores during the
present season. Tuesday was q "record
day." and yesterday was another Out Of

5000 had landed by nightfall. The NUM-
ber remaining was increased by 5,469

grants.
Yet tho officials sec no danger in this
great tide Of immigration. ave need
have no fear" said Commissioner Wat
chorn today, "as to the outcome. The
country is in a healthy condition and is
absorbing the armies of immigrants as
fast as they come. There is labor enough
and TO spare for all, and the great West
and Southwest could take many times
what we send and would still clamor for
more. These people are eagerly sought
for to work on the great public works, as
farm laborers, as workmen on the plan
tations of Louisiana and Texas in the
wheat fields Of the West and Northwest,
and in the vast areas that are being re-
claimed by irrigation. Only few stop
in this city, and most Of these only for a
day or two. They are generally sent of
as soon as they land"
This sounds assuring, but it will not
serve to allay the apprehensions of many
who view the great increase Of immigra-
tion with deep concern. There is some
assurance, however, in the fact that the

our Marrlare Laws.

Our attention has been called TO the
marriage regulations established by law
Ia this State. with the comment that they
perhaps, may be blamed for the reckless
manner in which marriag' ceremonies
are performed by some of our ministers
OF the gospel At any rate, il is suggested
that such ministers may find a legal
justification of their course in the fact
that under the law the duty of ascertain
ing that the parties applying 10 be
married are fully qualified devolves upon
the officers of the law rather than upon
the ministers.
IL is pointed out that all parties desir-
ing to be married in this State must first
procure a license. Marriage licenses are
issued by the clerks of the peace, either
through their offices or through justices
of the peace. The licenses are addressed
"To any minister Of the gospel" and by
the authority conveyed by them the min
lister is authorized 20 perform the mar
riage ceremony for the parties named in
the license, after they have answered
TO his satisfaction the questions which he
is required by law TO ask. And the license
is duly signed by the governor Of the State
Therefore, the argument for the preach
ers goes, when the license is presented
and the questions are properly answered,
the responsibility of the minister ends.
The duty of determining whether the
parties are justly entitled TO a marriage
license, It is advanced, rests upon those
who have In charge the issuing Of licenses.
The severe logic Of this presentation Of
the case will not be denied, But il does
not relieve ministers of the moral obli-
CATION resting upon them. This is at
tested by the significant fact that while
some ministers accept the license, coupled
with the formal answering Of the pre-
scribed questions, regardless Of whether
the answers are true or false as complete
justification for performing the ceremony,
other ministers are particular in their
investigations and refuse to perform the
ceremony where there is the slightest
ground for suspicion that all is not right,
The need Of the State is for a more gen
eral recognition of this moral reponsi-
bility on the part OF ministers.

The San Francisco Disaster.

The extent Of the disaster suffered bv
the city OF San Francisco by the earth
quake which raclIed the Pacific slope
country, yesterday morning, is appalling.
Ruined buildings attended the earth S
tremblngs, and costly structures were in
an instant reduced 10 complete wrecks.
Fire added to the horror, and many human
lives we're sacrificed in the awful calamity.
Il is impossible, at present, to estimate
what will be the effect of this terrible
visitation upon the great city upon whom
It's destroying hand was laid so heavily.
The work of rehabilitation by itself con-
sidered, is not a task Of appalling magni-
tude. A stricken community may repair
the ravages OF fire and food, and emerge
from the ordeal stronger and better than
before. Chicago found its great con-
hagration, in many respects, blessing.
instead Of a curse, by reason Of the vast
improving strides and the municipal
betterments that attended the repairing
OF the destruction. Galveston. after its
devastating food, entered upon the work
of guarding against another such visitation
by constructing a gigantic sea wall. and
today Galveston is a great and growing
city, far ahead of what il was before the
sweeping waters engulfed IT,
But il is different with the community
that is devastated by the calamity Of
earthquake It's task of rehabilitation /.
retarded by the awful dread that another
visitation of the kind may occur at any
instant. Precautions may be adopted
against oonaagrations; barriers NAV b,
erected against floods But the appalling
dread Of an earthquake may paralyze IN,
energies of the people and leave no room
for the ambition to triumph over the work
OF desolation and make their city large
and better than II was before
And SO It Is that the future Of SAN Fran
cisco is matter OF uneeuainty. Mean
