Second Lieutenant Wilbur {. Lunt
of Co. II, "a Regiment, n. G. S. NJ,
has rendered his resignation to Capt.
II. L. Pepper, commander of the com

ton Of co. III until the present time

the positions Of private, corporal and
sergeant and at the last company elec-
ton was elected to the position of Sec
Ond lieutenant. He was Il member Of
the rifle team, ana always qualified as

been one Of the most faithful men in
the company. His efficiency has been
marked in all the positions which he
has held.

San Francisco, April 20.-The three

NATION TO THE RELIEF.

War Department Assumes Entire Con-
troll of Situation.
Associated Press dispatches from
every important city in the land indi-
cate that s12, 0O0. 600 in cash is already
in sight for the relief Of the fire and
earthquake sufferers in and about San
Francisco, and that total OF $40, 0O0,-
600 is likely to be raised. The United
Stats will grapple alone with the eitua-
ton growing out of the total destruc-
ton of one Of her richest and most pop
ulous cities. Foreign countries, in view
of the magnificent responses of the
American people to the csll for aid,
will not be asked to contribute, though
numerous offers have been made.
Before the cabinet, at it's meeting
Yesterday, had resolved upon this
course, however the Dominion of Can
ada had taken cognizance of the situa-
ton in San Francisco by voting $780,
600 in cash for relief, and dispatches
from the seaport cities of British Co
Iumbia indicate that they are ignoring
the existence of the international
boundary line and are joining in the
work OF for warding money and provis-
ions with their sisters cities on the Pa

Nobody ever gets away" said Hedge,

personally. In one campaign he car
ried a splendid new watch. After ad-
dressing an audience he would circu-
late among the voters, saying to this
man and that: I wish you would give
me the correct time, am afraid OF los

San Francisco, April 20. - Plunged
into absolute darkness tonight at 10
o'clock, San Francisco has not seen the
conclusion Of the devastating work OF
the con6agration.
The FIRE that started at Mob Hill and
worked its way TO the North Beach Sec

buildings, was later veered around by a
fierce wind and made it's way southerly
to the immense seawall sheds and grain
warehouses. The flames we're heading
directly for the immense Ferry build
ing, the terminal point OF all central
overland and local trains OF the South
ern Pacific road. The darkness and the
wind, which at times amounted to q
gale, added fresh terrors TO the situa-
ton.
Tonight the principal remaining fire
was confined east of Van Ness avenue
and north Of Union street, but wsi
burning its way to the shore.
Late this afternoon the police broke
open every saloon and corner grocery
in the saved districts and poured all
malt and spurious liquors into the

reaching and will continue to reach
the city proper.
Within a few hours another supply
Of 6,000,000 gallons daily will be
poured into the city from College Hill
station. This will furnish water TO the
southern section of the city. Already
water is being supplied to the BLACK
Point and Pacific Heights districts, and
with an additional supply Of 1000, 00C
gallons daily, which is assured from
lines that will be repaired within day
or two, the city will within four day
