SAN FRANCISCO, April Is
Two years ago today occurred the
earthquake followed by the Gonna.
grafton that laid large section Oh
San Francisco waste, cost 452 lives
and resulting in property loss
amounting to over $4OO,ooo'ooo.
In "a hours time the destruction
was SO great that scarcely build

city was left standing with walls
intact.
Two years have wrought Aladdin
like changes in the appearance oi
San Francisco. Rising from the
ashes before the smoke OF disaster
had cleared away, she finds herseli
today largely rebuilt in an improV-
ed style, her business prosperity re-
covered and her people preparing q
joyous welcome for the greatest ma

Ambassador Whitelaw Reid, after
his recent visit here, eloquentiy oe'
scribed the city's achievement when
he said: "There are many tnlnss

AS the outcome of this, the whole
country was aroused; the reichstag
endorsed the attitude of many Of its
prominent members when they de-
nOunced the sovereign. and Chancellor
Won Buelow. while he attempted to
smooth away the affair, undertook to
communicate to his majesty a straight
forward and unvarnished statement OF
how the German people viewed his in
tervention in affairs of state
The interview between the emperor
and the imperial chancellor took place
at the new palace in I~tsdam. and at
its conclusion the emperor made for
NAL promise to his people that in the
future he would not act except through
the chancellor and his associate min
listers. This promise was made public

zette Of the empire. 1t was In the form

During the audience granted to the
imperial chancellor, his majesty, the
emperor and king, listened for several
hours to a report by Prince Won Bue-
low. The imperial chancellor describ-
ed the feeling and its causes among
the German people in connection with
the article published in the Daily Tele-
graph. He also explained the position
he had taken during the course of the
debates and interpretations on this
subject in the reichstag. His majesty.
the emperor, received the statements
and explanations with great earnest
ness and then expressed his will as
follows:
Needless Of the exaggerations OF
public criticism, which are regarded
by him as incorrect, his majesty per
ceives that his principal imperial task
is TO ensure the stability of the poll
cies of the empire, under the guardian
ship of constitutional responsibilities.
In conformity Herewith. his majesty,
the emperor, approves the chancellor's
utterance In the reichstag and assures
Prince Won Buelow of his continued
confidence
Prince Won Buelow had determined
upon handing in his resignation If the
emperor had not met the cOuntry's
demands. but as such a situation did
not arise. the audience ended with the
emperor saying to the imperial chan
cellor that he reposed full confidence
in his wisdom.
Within half an hour after the chan
cellor's return to Berlin bulletins were
issued by the newspapers. reporting
favorable issue of the meeting between
the emperor and prince. were eagerly
snatched by an anxious public, who in
the first moment of joyful surprise
scarcely conceived the importance Of
the announcement to themselves and
the empire. The whole nation had
awaited with breathless suspense the
word from the palace which would de-
eide whether Prince Won Buelow would
quit his Office and the reign OF per
sonal policy" continue, or whether the
chancellor would remain and the de-
sire of the people be fulfilled, that the
nation as well as the emperor would
have a word in directing the policies
of the country II is certain now In the
minds Of the German people that
great step has been taken toward
freer government.
