only fear is that. other fires may start should the people build fires in their stoves. and I therefore warn all citi- zens not to build fires in their homes until the chimneys have been inspected and repaired properly. All citizens are urged to discountenance the building of fires.
 "I congratulate the citizens of San Francisco upon the fortitude they have displayel and l urge upon them the necessity of aiding the authorities in the work of relieving the destitute and suffering. For the relief of those per sons who are camped in the various sections of the city everything possible is being done.
 Tn Golden Gate Park where there are approximately 100000 homeless persons. relief stations have been es- tablished. The Spring Valley Water company has informed me that the Mission district will be supplied with water this afternoon, being ten and twelve million gallons daily being available. Lake Merced will be taken by the federal troops and that supply protected.

THE UNMASKING
 OF CHINATOWN
The Fire Laid Bare Wonderful Sub-
 terranean Ways.

Los Angeles, Calif., April 2O.- Strange is the scene Where San Fran Cisco's Chinatown stood" says W. w. OVerton, who reached Los Angeles to- day among the refugees. No heap of smoking ruins marks the sight of the wooden warrens where the sIant-eyed men of the Orient dwelt in thousands. The place is pitted with deep holes and scared with dark passageways, from whose depths some smoke wreaths. All the wood has gone and the winds are streaking the ashes.
 Men, white men. never knew the depth of Chinatown's underground says MT. Overton. They often talked of these subterranean runways. And many of them had gone beneath the Ievel two or three stories. And now that Chinatown has been unmasked. for the destroyed buildings were only a mask, men from the hillside have looked on where it's inner secrets lay. Iu places they can see passages one hundred feet deep.
 The fire swept the Mongolian sec ton clean. It left no shred of the painted wooden fabric. It ate down to the bare ground and this lies stark. for the breezes have taken away the light ashes. Joss houses and mission schools grocery store and opium dens, hells and theaters and all of them went. The buildings blaze1 up like tis- sue paper lanterns when the guttering candles touch their sides.
 From this place I. following the fire, saw hundreds of fright crazed yellow men flee. In their arms they bore their opium pipes, their money bags, their silks and their children. Beside them ran their ag-trousered women and some of them hobbled painfully.
 But these were the men and women of the surface. Far beneath the street levels in those cellars and pas sageways were other lives. Women who never saw the day from the dar- kened prisons. and blinking jailers, were caught like rats in a huge trap. Their very bones were eaten by the flames.
 And now there remain only the holes. They pit the hillside like null titude of ground swallow nests. They show depths which the police never knew. The secrets of these burrows will never be known for into them the hungry fire first sifted it's red coaIs and then licked eagerly with tongues oi creeping flames finally obliterating everything except the earth itself"

A BRIDAL TOUR
 ENDED IN DEATH

 quake Victims at Monterey.

It is now known that among those who met their death in the earthquake which visited the coast last Wednes- day, were MT. and Mrs. Edward O. Rouzer. who had been married Oil Wednesday, the week previous in the city of Los Angeles. Mrs. ROuZeT was formerly Miss Mary F. Smith. daugh- ter of the late J. Y. T. Smith. According to the report received they were in the Hotel Del Monte at Monterey and had gone there for the purpose Of spending their honeymoon. The Re publican's dispatches Wednesday night told of the death of a bride and groom in the hotel, caused by the falling of a chimney. It was known here at that time that Mir. and Mrs. ROuzer were at Monterey. and it was feared then that they were the victims. MT. and Mrs. ROuzer were both well known here and in Bisbee. where MT. Rouzer was interested in the Copper Queen hotel and also in hotel at Cloud croft. IL was but two days prior to ttse earthquake that Phoenix friends re- ceived cards announcing their wedding. Mrs. Smith. the mother of the bride, is now in Los Angeles. where she had gone to attend the wedding. With her is her eldest daughter, Mrs. George
  ceived yesterday afternoon said MT. Buxton, accompanied by NJ. o. Bick- nell who was in Los Angeles. had gone to Monterey. A brother of Mrs. Rou- ger, Bertram Smith is in the employ of the Imperial mining company at Silver Bell, and he has been notified.
 The young lady who met her death was a most estimable woman. She was born in Phoenix and lived here until about four years ago when she left for California to attend college. Later she went to Bisbee to live with her mother. and it was there she met MT. Rouzer and formed an acquaint- ance which eliminated in their mar riage.
 sad incident in connection with their death was learned yesterday. A number of travelling men. friends of MT. ROuzer had raised a fund for the purchase ot a wedding present. In charge of the fund is Ed Shaw. a rep resentatiVe of a San Francisco house. It was determined yesterday to ex- pend the money in the purchase of flowers for the funeral.

That Fourth of July, 1776,
when the declaration Of 1ndepend-
ence was adopted in Philadelphia
was as hot as any Fourth has
been since. The congress was
in a little room next door to a
sta ole. The delegates were clad
10 .heir best clothes, with knee
breeches and silk stockings.
The room swarmed with horse
flies from the stable, and the flies
bit numerically the delegates
legs through their thin silk
stockings, They were 50 tor
mented that they were wild to
get away, so they passed the
declara ton in & hurry, even
though they knew their lives
might pay the forfeit. John

On the Fourth of July, immed-

Soon after its passage by con-
