of dead will run Into the thousands.
- The property damage Is estimated at
from $200,000,000 to $300,000,000.
Relief Being Organized
Relief Is being organized with sys
tem and the government has taken
complete control of the situation. Tho
foreign legations arc active In rollef
matters, as are private persons, and
tho greatest energy is being devoted to
getting In supplies for the destitute.
The remoter districts have not yet been
heard from and efforts are being made
to establish communication either by
wire or courier with the provinces.
The statement is made that every
building In Valparaiso has been dam
aged and the city has been described
as "uninhabitable."
The Almendral quarters and the prin
cipal streets are mere heaps of ruins.
The people still throng the surrounding
hills and the seashore and many are
leaving the locality an best they may.
It is reported that several points along
tho coast have been lifted abovo their
former sea levels.
Tho troops are maintaining perfect
order and the' military ambulances are:
. carrying the wounded to tho hospitals.
-Hospital and medical supplies are be
ing sent down to Valparaiso from
Santiago. A commercial crisis Is feared
and very little business Is belngi.done.
„ The English firms located at Valpar
aiso do. not appear to have sustained
heavy loss, and It does not appear that
•many 'foreigner's have, been killed.
; Santiago suffered much less than
.Valparaiso. .The number of dead in
.Santiago Is reported at twenty. A lo
cal relief committee has been organ
ized. the street cars have resumed
.running and the normal aspect of the
city is rapidly returning.
-. Refugees from Valparaiso are coming
In in greater numbers each hour. The
railroads are not yet in operation. It
;is reported that six or eight towns In
the stricken districts have been de

del Mar, which is a suburb of Val
paraiso, is described as almost entirely
In ruins.

PRISON WALLS FALL
CRUSHING CONVICTS
BENEATH THE RUINS
By Asunclated Press.
.• SANTIAGO. Chile, Sunday, Aug. 19. |
—The situation is becoming clearer. A
relief committee was organized here
today, and the street railroad service
was resumed. -.V „- ■ : ~*V •
. It was feared that Santiago would be
plunged in darkness, owing to lack of
coal to supply the gas workrf, but the
officials of the gas company say they
have a sufficient supply to last a week.
Carlos Edwards, one of the proprietors
of the Mercurio of Valparaiso, has ar
rived here on horseback from that city.
He confirms the reports that the Al
mendral quarter and the principal avo
liue of Valparaiso have been trans
i formed into heaps of ruins.
When he left the city the inhabitants
were wandering about looking for rela
tives and friends. The majority of the
inhabitants, he says, have sought
refugo in the hills, in the parks and
nlong the seashore. The administra
tion building and the Victoria theater
had disappeared even to their founda
tions. ,
The marine arsenal was only slightly
damaged, but none of the private resi
dences were habitable. In spite of the
desolation perfect order was maintained
by tho troops, which were bivouacked
on the' Grand avenue and Victoria
square.
The military ambulances were gather-
Ing up the wounded and the dead.
(When Mr. Edwards left Valparaiso it
was impossible to determine the num
ber of persons killed, but, according to
his estimate, the number of lives lost
was small when the extent of the
catastrophe was taken into considera
tion. At one depot he saw fifty bodies.
The main hotel was standing and all
the guests escaped injury, but Mr. Kd
wards regards Valparaiso as being un
inhabitable for the present.

between this place and Valparaiso and
to drive tne herdn to tho latter city In
order to prevent a famine.
Refugees Board Ship*
A large number of people have sought
refuge on the various ships at anchor
In the bay of Valparaiso.
The report that the naval school nt
Valparaiso has escaped the disaster In
confirmed. A number of families rmve
Roughl refnga In the school building,
where they are being cared for by the
naval authorities.
Medical supplies have been sent from
this <!ity to Valparaiso and everything
ponslble Is being done to nsslst the
homeless people. No accurate estimate
of the damage done by the earthquako
enn yet be made, but It Is considered
certain that It will run Into the Imn
drads of millions of dollars and It Is
feared that a commercial crisis will
follow the earthquake disaster. It Is
believed that steps will be Immediately
taken to relievo the situation.
Business Is being slowly resumed
here and at Valparaiso. The ministers
of war and of the interior with detach
ments of volunteers, from the army nnd
fire departments left here this morning
for the purpose of re-establlahlng tele
graphic communication with Valpa
raiso. A trnln which left Santiago for
th« north today arrived without any
difficulty at Colera. Contrary to the
general belief the tunnels were not
wrecked and It In hoped that the trains
will be running regularly tomorrow.
The government has advised tho pro
vincial governments to spend all money
necessary to help the earthquake suf
ferers In their districts. When tho
earthquake first shook this city the
prisoners In the penitentiary began
singing hymns. There was no loss of
life among them so far as known, but
at Valparaiso the prison walls fell and
crushed 140 prisoners to death.
A telephone message received here to
day from Vina del Mar announced that
the portion of that town between the
Royal . hotel and tho custom house is
not seriously damaged but that the
rest of the Vina del Mar is almost to
tally dstroyed.
President Rlesco has received dis
patches from Lazarena, capital of the
province of Coquimbo, saying that no
damage has been done In the north but
that the majority of the houses In the
Am'bagada district have collapsed as
did a hill between Valparaiso and Vina
del Mar, destroying railroad communi
cation between those two places.^
Merchants Increase Prices
Despite the fact that the stores of
provisions here are Intact a number of
merchants have considerably. Increased
the price of provisions.
A great deal of damage has been done
at the mines In the Noglals and Calonn
districts. A number of houses have
fallen at Talca, fifty persons were killed
there and 150 were wounded at Mell
pilla.
• It is believed that all the houses will
have to be pulled down owing to the
severe shaking which they received
from the earthquake and at Salvador
and Santa Turnino, a number of pub
lic buildings will have to be razed.
At Lalllatd seventy houses fell. A
number of small villages In the Terre
mote districts were totally destroyed.
At Terremote the populace tried to pil
lage the business houses which had re
mained standing, but the employes suc
cessfully defended the places.
-It is stated at the observatory today
that it Is not likely there will be a
repetition of the seismic disturbances
In the future. This has gone a great
way towards calming the public mind.
It was at the request of Mme. Pedro
Monti, wife of the president-elect, that
the municipality of Iqutque has de
cided to vote the sum of money which
had been subscribed for the celebration
of' the election of Senor Monti tq the
relief of the earthquake sufferers.

AT LICK OBSERVATORY
By A*so"lnted Press.
SAN JOSE, Aug. 20.— Definite Infor
mation concerning the recent earth
quake in Chile, South America, is
anxiously awaited at the Lick observa

The D. O. Mills observatory, estab
lished three years ago as an adjunct

mother and sister, are residing at
Mount Hamilton. Prof. C. D. Perrlne,
astronomer in charge at Lick observa
tory, today said:
"The report of disastrous earth

Interest for the Lick observatory, on
account of its affiliation with the D. O.
Mills observatory at Santiago.
"News is anxiously awaited from Dr.
Curtis, who is in charge of the Chilean
station. - ■
"It Is hoped, however, from the loca
tion of the D. O. Mills observatory and
from the compactness of Its telescope,
that no serious damage has ben done,
provided the shocks there were no
'more severe than those of April 18 last.

COUNTY OFFICES
DESERTED TODAY
Officials Hoping for Re-election Will
Look After Delegates and County
Business Will Suffer for
a Few Days
.Because of the interest In the county
Republican convention at Venice, busi
ness at the county court house and
justices courts will be practically at a
standstill for the next two days, and
although the building will be open and
all offices accessible, the heads of de
partments and all but the office clerks
will be at the front fighting for their
friends.
To say that everyone in the court
house is interested In the election
would be putting the condition In a
mild form. Practically all the office
holders are candidates for renomlna
tlon and all their clerks are working
with might and main to insure their
employers' success, for it means their
positions In the days to come.
So that Tuesday and Wednesday will
be off days at the court house and
there will be but two judcres there to
handle the cases act for hearing.
Although it has been so unanimously
announced that District Attorney Fred
ericks will be nominated for re-election,
by acclamation, yet Capt. Fredericks
will be at the front and many of his
deputies will b^ with him to sec that
the acclamation comes In proper form
and well backed.
Line Up for Keyes .
That will cause a desertion of the
district attorney's office with the ex
ception of a f«w clerks. The clerks of
every department, or at least every-
I one who can be spared, will be at
Venice seeing that their friends and
political workers whom they control are
In line to vote for Charley Keyes for
the office of county clerk.
■ The clerks of tax collector's, assessor's
and auditor's offices will be at the front
to help out for their bosses.
From the sheriff's office practically
the entire staff will net in the fight
early and stay late. All of them will
be working for Sheriff White except
those who are seriously engaged tn
working for themselves.
One of that number is Deputy Harry
Wilson of Long Beach, who Is a can
didate for tho office of Sheriff or-Loa
Angeles county. He hopes to control
the Long Beach delegation.
Deputy Sheriff Len C. Cleveland of
the sheriff's office will leave early for
the beach to get bis backers in line,
for he Is a candidate for one of the
Offices of constable and the betting Is
three to one in his favor over the rest
of the Held, with the exception of Con
' stable De La Monte, who Is a candi

PRESIDENT LAUDS
CONGRESS' WORK
THINKS LEADERSHIP SHOULD
NOT BE CHANGED
In Letter to James E. Watson Nation's
Chief Executive Talk* of and
Shows Great Interest In Po.
lltical Affairs
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.— A letter writ
ten by President Roosevelt to Con
gressman James K. Watson of Rush
ville, Ind., reviewing and approving of
the work of the present congress and
declaring "to change the leadership
and organization of the house at this
time means to bring confusion upon
those who have successfully engaged
in tho steady working out of a great
and comprehensive scheme for the bet
terment of our civil arycl social condi
tions," was made public today through
the Republican congressional com
mittee.
The president also declared that such
a change would result In a hurtful os
cillation between tho extreme radical
and the extreme reactionaries.
The president also said* he hopes tho
present congress will enact laws pro
hibiting political contributions by cor
porations, lowering the duties on Im
ports from the Philippines and limit
ing the number of hours for railway
employes.
Of the tariff Mr. Roosevelt says:
"We stand unequivocally for a pro
tective tariff and we feel that, the phe
nomenal Industrial prosperity which
we are now enjoying is not lightly to
be jeopardized, for it would be the last
degree of foolishness to secure here
and there a small benefit at the cost
of general business depression.
"But whenever a given rate or
schedule becomes evidently disadvan
tageous to the nation, because of the
changes which go on from year to year
In our conditions, and where it Is feasi
ble to change this rate or schedule
without too much dislocation of the
system, it will be done, while a general
revision of the rates and schedules will
be undertaken whenever it shall appear
to the sober business sense of our peo
ple that on the whole the benefits to
be derived from making such changes
will outweigh the disadvantages. That
is when the revision will do more good
than harm.
Adds Word of Caution
"Let me add one word of caution,
however. ■
"Trie question of -revising- the- tariff
stands wholly, apart from- the question
with dealing with tho so-called 'trusts'
— that Is, with the control of monop
olies and with the supervision of great
wealth in business,, especially In cor
porate form. * ■
. "The only way In which It Is possible
to deal with those trusts and monop
olies and this great corporate wealth
is by action along the line of the laws
enacted by the present conditions and
its immediate predecessors.
"The cry that the problem can be
met by any changes in the tariff rep
resents whether, consciously of uncon
sciously, an effort to divert the public
attention from the only method of tak
ing effective action."
Mr. .Roosevelt says that If only par
tisan issues were involved In this con
test he should hesitate to say any
thing publicly In reference to It, but ho
does not feel that this is the case.
The president declares "that with Mr.
Cannon as speaker tho house has ac
complished a literally phenomenal
amount of good work. It has shown
such courage, good sense and patriot
ism that it would be a real and serious
misfortune for tho country not . to
recognize It."
Mr. Roosevelt gives credit to congress
In the 'matter of the Panama canal,
saying:
As to the Panama Canal
"The interests banded together to op
pose the canal are numerous and bitter,
and most of them with a peculiar sinis
ter basis for their opposition. Had con
gress been either timid or corrupt and
had not the leaders of congress shown
the most far-sighted resolution In the
matter the work of building the canal
would never have been begun, or if
begun would now have halted."
Strong approval is expressed of the
attltudo of congress toward the up
building of the navy, and then tho
president takes up the measures deal-
Ing with governmental regulations of
business. ;
"The tremendous roclal and Industrial
changes In our nation," ho says, "have
rendered evident the need of a larger
exercise by the national government of
its power to deal with the business use
of wealth, and especially of corporate
wealth. In Interstate business.
"It Is not too much to say that the
course of congress within the last few
years and the hearty agreement be
tween executive and legislative depart
ments of the nation In ! taking the
needed action each within its sphere
have resulted in the nation for the first
time definitely entering upon the career
of proper performance of duty In these
affairs.
"It Is a very easy thing to play the
demagogue, to eonflne oneself merely to
denouncing the evils of wealth und to
advocato often in vague languago
measures no sweeping that while they
would entirely fall to correct the evllß
aimed at they probably will succeed In
bringing down the prosperity of the
ration with a crash. (
"But it is not easy to do as tho prevent
and the immediate predecessors have
done; that is stonily to disregard alike
the Belt-interest of those who have
profited by the present evils and the
wild clamor of those who care leßs to do
away with them than to make v repu
tation with the unthinking of standing
in extreme opposition to them.
"Hut this Ih precisely what the present
congress huti done. The prevlouH con
gress, by the enactment of the KlkliiH
law and by the creation of the depart
ment of commerce und labor, Including
the bureau of corpora Uo:.», hug enabled
us to make great strides In advance
along the path of thua bringing the use
of wealth In business under the super
vision and regulation of the national
government— for In actual practice it
has proved a tiham ami pretense to say
that the several states cun thus super
vise and regulate it." .

which will bo called to order tomorrow
morning at 11 o'clock.
It Is expected that there will be

which will be the Indorsement of Mr.

If his friends are successful In their

If tho men to whom Mr. Bryan has
said that he Is opposed are successful
in retaining control of tho party or
ganization they will Indorse him.
. The friends of Mr. Bryan have been
positive In their statements that if tho
convention does not call for the resig
nation of Roger C. Sullivan as national
commltteeman from Illinois they will
flght with nil their strength against
the passage of any resolution Indors
ing Mr. Bryan.
If they aro not able to control tho

seem to be against them, they will be
unable to prevent tho Indorsement from
going through.
Both parties aro tonight maktng

he will have fully 80 per cent of the
delegates and that he will carry the
convention from first to last without
the slightest trouble. , '
Tho Majority Rule league, composed
of those men who are In touch with

WANTS SULLIVAN REPUDIATED
William J. Bryan Sends Message to
Judge Owen P. Thompson
• •<• A •■. lilt H-iffl
PKORIA, 111., Aug. 20.— William J.
Bryan, according to his friend. Judge
Owen P. Thompson of Jacksonville, de
dlres no Instructed delegates .from Il
linois In the next Democratic national
convention unless National Committee
man Roger Sullivan Is repudiated by
tomorrow's state convention.
Judge Thompson made this state
ment Immediately upon having arrived
In the city and that he had received
such a message from Mr. Bryan. When
asked today for a copy of the dispatch
Judge Thompson said:
"I cannot give out a copy of the -.mes
sage, as -i contains other matter which
should not be published. I can. how
ever, quote verbatim all that It con
tains relative to the Instructions. This
is 'Oppose instructions unless Sullivan
repudiated." .That was all there was on
.the subject."" . .> ■• ■' ..' -. . V ' .
""What is Mr. Bryan ! going; to do
about It if Mr. Sullivan Is upheld by the
convention and instructions are given
for^Mr. Bryan despite his protest?"
■ "They, will never do such a thing as
that,", replied Judge Thompson.
"Do. you suppose that any man will
attempt to compliment Mr. Bryan with
Instruction when he has been in
formed by Mr. Bryan that it Is not in
his power to compliment him? I do
not believe It."
"Now, then," continued Judge
Thompson, coming down to politics
practical In the extreme, "when Mr.
Bryan Is elected where will these fel
lows stand' who poked their instructions
in his face arter he had in effect de
clared that he would regard ' them as
an Insult 7' There may be pies to be cut
when Mr. Bryan is in. Who knows?
Will the fellows who shoved instruc
tions on him get any of thase pies?
No, sir; no pie. .
"The followers of Mr. Sullivan aro
strong on pie and they will not stand
out long when they see that they are
going to starve."
Mr. Sullivan merely laughed when
asked what the convention will do
about indorsing Bryan.
"We will not oppose any instructions
In favor of Mr. Bryan. We never have
thought of doing so. If delegates come
to the convention instructed for Bryan
they will have to vote that way," I
guess."
