Honor Enoucb for All.
The Chicago Great Western is bringing
In thirteen cars of meat and flour from
Chicago by express to be turned over to
the Union Pacific at Omaha, All railroads
seem to have entered into a sort of con
test to see which can be the most expedi
tious In getting provisions across the coun
try. The occasion recalls the words of
Admiral Schley after the battle of San
tiago, "There will be honor enough for
all."
Among the things sent to California on
the first relief train was a box of surgical
Instruments and dressing from H. J. Pen
fold and $10 worth of canned goods con
tributed by the children of Judge Lee 8.

OTHER PARTS OF CITY ARE AFFECTED
Section Bounded by Market, Guerrero,
Dolores and Twenty-Second
ad Bay Shore Is
Wiped Out.
BAN FRANCISCO, April a.-Order and
system are gradually being wrought out
of the indescribable confusion which has
prevailed In this city for the past three
days. The hungry thousands are being
fed, and plentifully fed, wherever they
uro camped, and the fortunate household
ers who were not driven from their homes
are procuring food at the various relief
stations throughout the unburned district.
Water in sufficient quantities to meet all
the immediate needs of the people can lie
had. Sanitary measures are being pushed
with vigor everywhere. Bowers are being
repaired and the thousands of people
camped on open spaces and ln the parks
are being organized Into model camps by
the military authorities. Temporary build
ings are being erected ln the parks to shel
ter women and children, and all the
churches, educational Institutions, vacant
houses and those houses which have been
deserted by their occupants tonight have
thousands of homeless. Food Is being
brought in in plentiful supply snd dis
tributed in an orderly and systematic man
ner. All those who desire to leave the city
are being provided with transportation to
any point in California free of charge. No
one is allowed to enter the city who can
not show thoroughly satisfactory excuse for
being hero. The sink and Injured are be
ing cared for at the general hospital In the
PresldicS and at various other hospitals left
Intact as well as emergency hospitals and
those established by the Red Cross society
at several widely separated points.
Relief Work Divided.
General Funston, Mayor Schmlts and
Governor Fardoo met tn I conference at
General Funston's headquarters at Fort
Masin today and had a thorough under
standing as to the relief measures and the
policing of the city. It was decided to
divide the city Into three districts, ono
under federal troops, one under the statu
troops and the other under the municipal '
police.
A plan of co-operation between the mili
tary and civil authorities waa formulated
snd all future conflicts of orders
or authorities will be avoided. The
supplies brought Into the city from
Interior points will be stored at Oak
Und mole under Major Duval, of General
Funston's staff, who will foivard the same
by boat to the various water front Bu
ttons, whence they will be distributed
under direction of General Funston and his
staff. This means that all supplies donated
by California cities and transported free
of charge by the railroad and steamship
companies, will be put Into the hands of
tho national government.
Banks to Resume Business.
The bankers of San Francisco met this
afternoon to discuss the financial situation.
The question of opening the vaults of the
wrecked financial Inbtltutlons was thor
oughly canvassed and It waa the sense of
the meeting that a limit of thirty days
be made for the resumption of business.
While the subtreasury building ls unsafe
and cannot be entered at present, the mint,
with over $200,000,000 is Intact and New
York transfers of money may be drajMI
there.
The stringent military rule of the pad
few days has been modllled almost to tho
extent of permitting citizens to come and
go at their pleasure. There will be no
relaxation of the. rigid police measures,
however, and the entire city will be pa
trolled tonight ln a thorough and syste
matic manner. There has been no disorder
reported from any section.
The Board of Health held a meeting to
day, at which were present many of the
representative physicians, and measures
were taken for an Immediate and thorough
inspection of the entire city by physicians.
For this eynergeney the Board of Health
has called for 6") volunteer physicians.
Dancer of Fire Passed.
Late this afternoon a Journey along the
northern water front of the city showed
fires blaxlng ln but two places and theue
were hardly capable of spreading unless a
severe gale spreads them tonight. Unless
the smouldering embers are again fanned
Into a blaze and scattered by the winds. It
Is believed that the water front for tho
time being is safe. The walls of the ruined
buildings in the downtown section of the
