The Real Reason.

"The fact of bis being a polygamist,'
said Burrows, "did not enter into the

the committee declared Shoots seat
vacant, but because the man had not

DEMOCRATS DO NOT AGREE.
Caucus Of Senator's Was Called to
Consider Rate Bill.
Opposition to Senator BaiIey's Court
Review Amendment Created Dis
cOrd-NO Policy Was Outlined.

Washington, April 19.-With con-
siderable ill-feeling and no agreement
on any phase of the controversy on
the railroad rate bill, a conference
of democratic senators which contin-
ued practically all day was adjourned
without any date having been fixed
for another gathering.
Speeches were made counselling
agreement on some amendment or to
support tn house bill without amend
ment, party harmony being urged as
judicious politics.
The principal differences in the con-
ference were precipitated by speech
made by Senator Bailey that his court
feature provided for a limited re-
view. Exception was taken by his
colleague, Senator Culberson, who de-
clared that 1t was a broad review, and
from that point the discussion passed
to the several pending amendments
to prevent restraining orders being
issued to interfere with rates estab-
lished by the interstate commerce
commission. 1t developed that a ma
jority Of the democrats would vote for
an amendment of this character. Sew
eral senators said after the adjourn
ment of the conference that If 1t
should be decided to invoke the party
caucus to bring an agreement it would
result in the minority supporting the
house bill without amendment.

complete order has been re-established
and attention turned to the future.
Throughout the great business dis
trict, where the devastation of the
flames was the most complete, walls
were being razed, buildings that had
not disintegrated before the intense
heat were being inspected with the
view of re-occupancy, and even ground
was being cleared for the immediate
construction of some sort Of building
in which to resume business at the
earliest possible time.
In short, confidence has been re-
stored. The assurance Of the insur
ance companies, the measures taken
by the financial institutions, the
prompt and reassuring word that had
reached the business men of San Fran
cisco from eastern financial centers-
all these things went to clear away any
feeling Of uncertainty that might have
existed In the minds Of the timid that
San Francisco would not again be what
1t was-the greater center OF popula-
ton and business of the Pacific coast.
The general situation temporarily
suffered a setback early Monday be-
cause of the chilling rain which fell
in the late hours Of Sunday night and
during the early forenoon Monday up,
on the thousands protected only by
canvass coverings and even less i'm

Of every relief committee doing duty
as well as by the voluntary acts OF

to accomplish them.
The people were fed Monday In a
thoroughly business-like and systemat-
ie manner. From the water front where
the boat loads Of provisions locked
there was an endless procession OF
carts and drays carrying food to the
scores Of sub-stations established
throughout the city and the parks. At
these stations food and drink, COM
prising bread, prepared meats and

amount Of hot coffee was served to all

Of provisions were being moved daily

San Francisco, April 24.-Thousandt
of San Francisco's homeless slept In
the open-if they slept at all-in o
drenching rain Sunday night, adding
untold misery and suffering to those
whose cup is already full. Shortly
after midnight 1t began to rain ana
continued for three hours from a
drizzle at times to a heavy downpour
for q few minutes At six o'clock the
rain began to fall again and indica-
lions are that 1t may continue Mon
day. Thousands Of people-men'
women and children-camped In the
parks. squares and open lots were
awakened by the rain dashing In their
face and the water dripping through
the improvised tents. Wherever pos
sible, women and children were
crowded and huddled into the regular
canvass waterproof tents, which are
on hand. Little, however, could DO
done, as the facilities are entirely In
adequate to house all the homeless and
large numbers sought the protection
Of trees, bushes and a few boards
placed over their heads to ward on
the water.
About daylight man appeared at
police headquarters with tears stream
ing down his cheeks and sobbing until
he could not speak, asking for some
kind Of conveyance to take his fam
fly from Golden Gate Park to some
shelter He was told that nothing
could be done until daylight. The
rain has cooled the ruins and ex-
tinguished some of the fires which
still Illuminated the sky from the
ruins Of the city. The night was Of
almost styglan darkness, the silence
only broken by the measured tread Of
patrols and sentries and an occasional
shot Sunday night for the first time
lights were allowed in the houses, but
only from dark until ten o'clock.
The fire which seems to have died
out Sunday broke out with renewed
vigor in the coal bunkers north of the
Ferry building shortly after midnight

urday, but was apparently checked

So said wellington; and on this occasion

the capture of the French marshal seemed
inevitable, he was already beyond the tolls,
having by a supreme effort extricated him
self from perils as fearful as ever beset q

It was mastery retreat, and throughout
IL he was not only watching for the best
advantages to be gained, but testing the
spirit of hts men. His hand was almost on
their pulses, his eye was ever watchful, and
suddenly, by stroke almost theatrical in
ITS effect, he drew up the troops, 5000 in
number on the position he had occupied
two months before at the battle OF Braga,''
thus arousing the spirits of his soldiers.
He continued the retreat, facing every dr.
ficuity OF country and weather, but never
deferred and finally crossed the Cavado "in
full time, for the English guns were thun-
dering on the rear"
He had lost about 5000 men: he had en-
tered Portugal with fifty-eight pieces of ar
tiilery. he returned without gun.
