SAN FRANCISCO DESTROYED
Earthquake and Fire Destroy nearly
the Entire Business Part Of
the City.

The worst earthquake ever expe-
rienced in this country struck San
Francisco yesterday morning at
5 10 a. m. The shock lasted three
minutes, inficting enormous dam
age to the business portion Of the
city and causing immense loss of
life. To add to the horror fire
broke out in many parts of the city
and late last night was still raging
before a fierce gale from the west.
A rough estimate places the loss at
$40, 600, 900, and the loss of life is
several hundred and may reach
five thousand, besides many in
]ured. Many of the largest bust
ness blocks are total wrecks, and
thousands of people are homeless.
Great az was the damage by the
earthquake it was small compared
with the damage by the fire that
followed. The shock visited nu-
merous other cities along the coast
and many of them also suffered
great loss. Maj. Spaulding, who's,
home is in San Francisco, anc
whose offices are in the damage
districts, who has been spending
several days here, is naturally very
anxious for details of the catas-
tropile and has wired friends there
for particulars, but has SO far been
unable to receive any reply.

The city election was a very qui-

there was but u ticket in the
field and no independent candi-

only issue that tended to increase
the vote was the license question,
and no effort was made on the
part Of the temperance element to
carry that issue. The vote in the

how strength was left over to keep going the
