THE SAN FRANCISCO DISASTER.

The earthquake which visited San
Francisco April 18th, causing whole
sale death and destruction, was one
of The most appalling disasters the
future historian will have to chron-
icle.
AS day dawned on that city on the
morning on the 10Th, it was upon a
scene of ruil and devastation. Where
blocks of elegant buildings once
stood were now smoking ruins. Du
ring the night the flames had des
truyed many of the city's fineat bust
ness structures, and in q doxen diff
ferent directions had skipped to the
residence portions and totally des.
troyed the district known as 'soutb
of Market street" On every side wet
death aud suffering. Hundreds
were injured, and though the mum
Der of killed may never be definitely
known, the number will reach into
the thousands. The money loss will
probably reach the S50O,OO0,00C
mark.
At first tho greatest danger seemed
to be from famine, but the heal O
the nation, filled with horror, sympa
thiZed with them and nobly res
ponded to the call for help from tn
doomed city, and by prompt actio,
in sending help, relieved any fear
of distress on that score.
The area burned over, as near a.
could be ascertaincd by the marking
of a cycometer, is twenty.six miles
and comprises tho ontiro business
district and largo section of the
residence district, all of which was
densely populated.
Just how much damage was
wrought by the earthquake in Sar
francisco and other places III Cali
fornia how many lives and how
much property has been lost - is no
known, but the loss, except in lives
has not been as great as that caused
by the fire. The earthquake, how
ever, was the cause of the fire. The
seismic disturbance may DO ranked
with the earthquakes great enough
to be recorded in history.
The heaviest earthquake that ever
occurred in The United States, unit
the recent one at San Francisco, &C,
Cured in Charleston, S. c., August
3lst, 1856, when several hundred
buildings were shaken to pieces and
three tourths Of the whole namber
in tho city made uniuhabitable
Scores Of people were killed and the
loss OF property amounted to $4,000
600.
We trust that San Francisco's
darkest hour has dawned into da,
of hopo and that its time Of over
"helmlng disaster and peril has
passed, and that Phoenix like, she will
rise from her ashes into nobIer and
grander proportions.

 Wm. Livingstone of Detroit. Mich igan. president of the Lake Carriers association. made a plea for the bill as affording an American outlet for the products of the lake region. G.

He stated that there were no American ships. there were no American ship brokers, and therefore American grain shippers were at the mercy of foreign ships and brokers If we had American ships and an Ameri- can cargo and a Canadian cargo were awaiting shipment at the same time the American ship broker would give the preference to the American shipper just as the English broker does now to the Canadian.
