A journey along the northern water front allowed fire3 blazing in only two places and ikese were hardly capable of spreading un­ less a severe gale springs up. The walls of several of the ruined buildings in the downtown section of the city collapsed, but no one was in­ jured. The tower on the Hall of Jus­ tice In Kearney street still retains lis upright position, despite the fact that but one small corner of the structure bears the immense weight of steel and granite. Several walls are in imminent dan­ ger of toppling over and must be torn down. Damage on Water Front. A survey of the water front from a tug showed that everything except four docks had been swept c.ean from Fisherman's wharf, at the foot of Powell street, to a point around west­ erly, almost to the Perry building. This means that nearly a mile of grain sheds, docks and wharves have been added to the general destruction. The fire was still burning at the foot of Powell street, but there was no possibility of it going into tne freswio district V * X&ny Cities Sutler.

The sight is presented of thousands standing in line before the food supply depots, waiting for their daily allot­ ment of rations. The man who count­ ed his wealth by thousands is not above standing elbow to elbow with the man who was in the humblest circumstances four days ago. The women who rode in an automobile and commanded an army of servants re­ ceives her bread after the poor wash­ erwoman has been supplied, and shows no sign of pride. Business Men Are Alert. A tour of the burned dUftrict, except­ ing portions that are Impassaole, re­ veals appalling conditions. The stench from escaping gas is overpow­ ering, yet is braved by hundreds of business men who are bent on ascer­ taining the condition of the buildings which they occupied and planning for the resumption of trade at the first op­ portunity. Every incoming train brings these eager-eyed men to the city from surrounding towns in which they took refuge. Chinatown is no more, and it is doubtful whether it will ever be re­ suscitated in the picturesque form which attracted so many thousands of visitors each year. What was Chinatown Is now a lot of holes In ths ground, which may be aptly compared to rabbit warrens. Not a stick of the flimsy timber which sheltered the largest Chinese colony in (the United States remains upright. Eveg, the ashes have been swept away by the strong winds, and the ground looks as bare as though it had been scraped. Many Die from Hardships. The care of the dead and dying is becoming a more serious problem than before. Many deaths are occurring in the camps among the women and chil­ dren whose frail constitutions could not withstand the exposure. The dead that have been taken from the ruins are being buried in the bay and in trenches, and the work of burial is often being done uadei compulsion. Citizens have been forced by soldiers to help in the digging of trenches, so imperative is the necessity of remov­ ing the corpses and avoiding possible epidemics. The revolver and rifle >are also being used to compel men to work in the ruins. The work of relief is being per­ formed on a tremendous scale, and it Is improving every hour In efficiency. Mayo/ Schmitz's orders to break open all stores where food may be found have been carried out in scores of in­ stances. Many thousands of gallons of milk were distributed among the women and children, a boon that came at the critical moment In the lives of thousands of children. Church. Services in Opera. Air.

Not until 12 square miles of the richest portion of the city had been burned did the destruction cease. The homeless and weary people sought refuge in the public parks and open spaces in the outskirts of the city. .. Oakland, Cal., April 23-- ban Fran­ cisco's heroic fire fighters have at last triumphed, and the flames w_*ch have devastated three-fourths of the city itre finally under complete control. The flames, following the earth­ quake shocks wnich continued all day April 18, had things practically their own way. The first shocks destroyed the water mains and left the firemen powerless. Dynamite, guncotton and even field guns, brjught from the Pres­ idio by orders of Gen. Funs ton, in command of the regular troops, had all been used in the effort to stay the progress of the fire, which for three days defied the efforts of troops, fire­ men and citizens. The long and heroic struggle to sub­ due the flames reached its successful conclusion Saturday morning near the ferry-house, where thousands were trapped on the wharves, to which they had been driven by the relentless ad­ vance of the fire. .Here the final stand was made by firemen, soldiers, sailors and citizens, aided by fire tugs and a few engines. Victory rewarded their efforts, and the entrapped peo­ ple were saved. Cheered at Victory Over Flames. The effect of the victory was in­ spiring. It gave cheer to everybody, and to none more than the homeless ones who had sought the water front as ,the only place of refuge and avenue of. escape from the burning city. I It relieved the nervous tension of thousands who were ready to succumb to the prolonged strain. It sent' a Wave of optimism surging all over the city and made the skies look bright even through the pall of smoke still lingering. It was in its effect like that of a powerful tonic administered td a fainting man. Three hundred thousand men, women and children joined in singing the praises of the mien who stamped out the blaze. :t5 Goods Piled in the Open. ' ' |These tent cities, which are scat­ tered all over the city Where thte flames failed to work their rage, are thfe depositories for mountains of household goods. Unfortunate, Indeed, was the man or woman who failed to carry away from his blazing home son*e of those household treasures deaf to the heart. , Stern measures have saved tne des­ olated city from disorder and law­ lessness.

Entire World Extends Help. With spontaneity and iioerality without a parallel in history the whole civilized world is answering the un­ voiced appeal of ruined San Francis­ co. Not only from every city, town and hamlet in this country, but from over | seccloa also is ruined and the fire swept through sections where homei of wealthier clashes resided. Dyna- niita and fiamaa iwept everything be­ fore them. " \ Temporary business houses have been opened at Oakland, across the bay, and every preparation possible s being made for leopaning business houses here. As fast as ruins can be cleared away- temporary structures will replace destroyed business houses. . All who have means ot transporta­ tion have left San Francisco for Oak­ land and Los Angeles. The visitors who were in the city at the time' of the disaster are fleeing to their east­ ern homes. Trains Bring In Belief. . Horrors of expected starvation and sufferings from thirst are being re­ lieved speddily by arrivals of in­ numerable relief trains, .and arrange­ ments by city authorities whereby drinking water is being dispensed by troops is expected to relieve suffering in this direction. Fifty carloads of provisions have been shipped from Los Angeles alone, while relief trains are being hurried to San Francisco from every point of the compass. All western cities have nobly responded to appeals for help and the east is sending money and provisions, which will aid in restor ing order and rationalism among those wh« remain in the stricken city. Will Rebuild at Once. It is announced that immediate stops for rebuilding the city are being taken, and that with the fire under control is beijeved order will be re­ stored within a few hours, and that the work of cleaning up the ruins will commence at once. Legislature May Be Called. Gov. Pardee and the legislators *are discussing calling a special session of the state legislature, and it is gen­ erally believed that this action will be taken. State aid will be forthcoming. With the wires under control, fear subsiding, and reason returning, the process of cleaning up the ruins and restoring order and establishing busi­ ness will be rapid, although it is ex­ pected that it will require one entire week, in many' instances, for the CiTY HALL OF SAN FRANCISCO. mm This Structure, Built at a Cost of $7,000,000 Was Wrecked by the Earth­ quake and Flames Completed tli« Destruction. every sea comes news that all human­ ity in its profound sympathy is show­ ering material aid upon the stricken city and itB beggared people. No more amazing instance of world wi .e generosity ever has been recorded. In actual cash given or pledgad, the relief fund far exceeds $10,000,000. Where It will end cannot be told, for e^ery hour swells the enormous tota . In the reckoning up ot tae exte it of the disaster conservative minds are he itating. The nearest approach to the aggregate destruction of life and property is estimated as follows: Number of iivei lost, 2,500; property destroyed, 1400,000,000. The boundaries of the fire-swept district, ft is claimed, include at least three-foiirths of the city's area. Downtown wholesale and retail dis­ tricts are coraoiete ruins, few buildingjB in these districts standing, although merchaats are announcing that busi- ruihs to cool sufficiently tfS> permit systematic work. ' As fast as flames die out in the business section temporary buildings and tents are being erected, and ef­ forts are being made to resume busi­ ness. All'bank buildings were burned or destroyed, and it will be many days before the ruins cool sufficiently to permit the vaults to be opened. Money is almost as great a necessity as food and shelter, but is more scarce and will be so until the ruins are cleared. Trains now are running regularly on schedule time into Oakland, across the bay, and refugees are crowding out-bound trains, while those having relatives', friends or property in the stricken city are hastening to San Francisco.

Thursday morulng, the day ter the' fire, the best showing the morning journals could make was a small combination sheet bearing the unique heading, ••Call-Ghronicle-Exain- iner."

Mr. Murphy has already placed ftt the disposal of the mayor ten houses of his own with rent free for a year for any families who may arrive with- IASS of Life Among Chinese. , San Francisco, April 23.--There is an unconsidered factor which adds to the list of probabie Imd. Chinatown was built three stories above the street and three below it, and all was destroyed. The Chinese had run their secret passages 50 feet >®'ow the ground. These were always popu­ lated, especially at night. As they were not timbered, these tunnels must have caved In, for the shock was strong enough at the point to over­ throw some of the old rookerls*. {•'" Banks Beady to Open. San Francisco, April 23.--The bank­ ers of Sail Francisco held a meeting to consider the best course to pursue to open the vaults of the burned insti­ tutions and to relieve the financial situation. It is stated upon authority that the Merchants' exchange, Fairmount h'o-f tel and Monadnock building will be/ open for public offices at once. All these buildings have been carefully ex­ amined by expert architects, who have pronounced their frame work and foundations i#'Jjfc absolutely safe. | i Post Office Is in Operation. 9aif Francisco, April 23 --At a meet­ ing of the postal authorities with the military, held at the post office build­ ing, j/plan8 were completed for the re­ sumption of mall service.

TaBte of Martial Law. f San Franclpco, April 23.--For the first time in its history San Francisco has had its first taste of martial law. Early in the eyening of the first day of the disaster the survivors were cooking thetrisuppers on fires built in front of their houses, th» wind fanned many of the fires into nasty blazes, and for a time it looked as if many new fires would be started. Orders were issued that all fires must be put out, and the building of flres jn front qf houses was sunupjily flup- Jprsssel* • . • Saved City of Oakland. Oakland, Cal., April 23.--The Are at San Francisco started in 15 places si­ multaneously, and it is suposed It was due to the breaking of the electric wires and to the upsetting of lamps and oil stoves in the tenement section following the earthquake. The same catastrophe might have visited Oak­ land had not the man in charge of the light and power plant had the good judgment to shut off all electricity at the dynamos on the flrst jar °f earthquake. ^ V One Woman's Sacrifice.

Complicated with indigestion of a form that affected the vital organ it threatened serious consequences in an in­ stance just reported. The case is that of Mr. F. L.

I suppose this was the cause of my sickness, at any rate, in May, 1906, 1 had got so bad that I was compelled to quit work and take to my bed. I had a good doctor and took his mediciue faithfully but grew worse. I gave up hope of getting better and my neighbors thought I was surely going to die. "1 had smothering spells that it is awful to recall. My heart fluttered and then seemed to cease beating. I could not lie on my left side at all. My handft and feet swelled aud so did my face. After reading about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills iix a newspaper I decided to try them and they suited my case exactly. Before long I could see an improvement and after taking a few boxes I was en­ tirely cured.
