More Rain Is Falling
on Homeless Sufferers
Heavy Showers Began Early This Morning and Soon
Soaked Through the Tents, Bedding and Cloth
ing Of Those Sleeping in the Parks

San Francisco, April 27. Many OF
San Francisco's homeless people, who
are camped in the parks, squares and
the vacant lots, were awakened early
this morning by water dripping
through the improvised tents, which af-
forded poor protection against the
heavy rain that began to fall about I
o'clock and continued for several hours.
Drenchej to the skin by the heavy
downpour and with bedding thorough
1y soaked, many persons were driven
into nearby houses for shelter.
Cars will start to run on several
streets in San Francisco, permission to
run cars having been granted by Ma
yor Schmitz late last night. 1t is
specified that the cars will not run af-
ter 7 O'Clock at night and the company
will maintain watchmen III each block
to prevent fires. - .a.T
Over one hundred and fifty stores
were opened for business yesterday but
before night numerous complaints were
received that the storekeepers had rails
ed prices to prohibitive figures.

MILITARY CHANGES.

Cleveland Leader: The French army
has just given up the drum. That was
a sacrifice from the standpoint of SEN
timent, but what really good purpose
did it serve? 1t is an awkward thing
to transport and easily broken. It does
not produce music and soldiers can
keep step without its assistance. 1t is
only within the last few years that the
suicidal foolishness OF wearing bright
uniforms in actual warfare was recog-
nized The folly of this was borne in
upon England during the boer war.
The men of the transvaal were fine
long distance marksnen and they put
many of the most lordly mansions OF
Britain in mourning. There remains
still another useless military incuin-
brance--the officers sword. 1t inter-
feres with his movements and rs no
longer OF use in fighting.

EASIER ON CHINESE.

Boston, April 27.-On the ground
that the snnoyances to which Chinese
merchants and other prominent China
men are subjected ON arrival here are
directly responsible for the killing OF
American missionaries and the boycott
ting of American cotton exports in
China, resolutions calling for less
stringent Interpretation OF the Chinese
exclusion laws were adopted by the
National association of cotton maniac
turers. The.sentiment as indicated by
the debate on the resolution was that
the whole OF the alleged trouble over
Chinese exclusion might be remedied
by more liberal Interpretation OF the
law. Resolutions also were adopted
endorsing the creation of a national
forest reserve on the Appalachian and
