San Francisco, Cal.,, April 25.--At dawn, this morning, conditions began to look normal. Such parts of trade as remain unburned are opening for the transaction of ordinary business, Temporary" structures are being run up for the accommodation of others, Clearing of the devastated area of its ruins is well under way, The en- quiry into 'the condition of the bank vaults is completed. Ihe organiza- tion and preparations for service of the street railways are so far ad vanced that the company expressed its readiness toiresume business - as soon as the mayor would permit. The water company has completed such repairs as enable it to supply a total of 12,000,000 gallons daily. Tt is now strongly probable that the ashes of the ruined city will give birth to the San Francisco beautifully planned by David Durham. Definite steps to- wards this end have been taken by a group of citizens, There are 107 companies to share the insurance loss. This loss is estimated by thé local agents a$ $175,000,000 t §200,000,000. Chicago's loss was '$125,- 000,000, and three companies default ed in the amount of $5,000,000. -- A Salinas Horror. San Francisco, Cal, April 25.~The secretary of the department of com- merce and labor, Viétor H. Metcalfe, has arrived from Washington. Here- after he will be in charge, superseding Gen. Funston. Secretary Metcalfe is the personal representative of Presi dent Roosevelt. 5 A depatch from Balinas, a summer resort gin Marine county, says that the Flag Stal Inn, . a large hotel there, has been swept into the bay. Many persons: had "narrow escapes. The Water Honse--studio rolled down a steep cliil into the bay. Many houses were ruined.

Nine- teen persons were killed, 200 injured and 5,000 are homeless. Canada Complithented. Detroit, April 25.~The Detroit Journal says editorially : "The first . appropriation of the United States congress for the relief of San Francisco was one million dol- lars. Canada, which has less than one twellth of the population of the Unit- ed Stated 'and a still smaller propor tion of resources, granted a govern ment appropriation of one hundred thousgnd. That the dominion govern- ment should itself take official cog- nizance of the--situation and make a ran that is proportionately even nore generous than that of our own government, on which a special obli- gation rested, was as unexpected as it was gracious, "The promptness of the act shows how spontaneous it was. It ought to be remembered as a beautiful inci- dent in the history of two countries which "are neighbors in a sense in which no two other nations in the whole world are ~ngighbors, for no two others ocofip§ a similar relative position toward ach other and the rest of the world and the respective interests and people and territories of no other two come in touch along a continuous line, 4,000 miles in ex- tent."

Mayor has also called a public meeting, Moining press des- patches state -inténtion of United States government to decline all for- eign subscriptions, Will decision ap ply to Canada ?" Yesterday the following reply was received : "Washington, D.C.. April. 26.--Con- tributions of American citizens makes outside assistance unnecessary, and we feel obliged to» decline all such. We are 8) | none the less grateful to vou for your generous sympathy. (Signed) Robert Bacon; geting secretary of state," General Notes. Conditions are nearly normal in San Francisca. The city is assufed of an adequate water supply. Street rail- ways are to resume. . Three heroes saved San Francisco what is left of it. They were the dynamite squad, that threw back the fire'demon at Van Ness avenue. The empress dowager of China® has sent a check for 850,000 for the relief of the sufferers, and is sending $20, - 000 to the Chinese in that city. A contribution of £100,000 was tele- graphed to tho Red Cross Society by Adolphus Busch, St. Louis million aire brewer.
