FRANKFORT-ON-MAIN, April H.-The Frankfurter Zeltung yesterday aald that representative men of export and finan cial circles have conferred with the editor about openjng a public subscription to aid aufferera by the California earthquake, but that the newspaper had Information from .New YoiV that It was not expected that relief committees would be organized In Kurope. as America's e (Torts will bo ample fur the present need.

Fmpfpor'i Sympathy Causes Commeal BERLIN, April 21.-Emperor William's promptness In cabling to President Roose velt his sympathies with the unfortunate peoplo of San Francisco had caused some comment in that sctlon of the press where the emperor's riilfitorlness In communica ting his condolences to the king of Italy has been unfavorably mentioned. News paper organs In Accord with the govern ment, however, point out. the overwhelm ing gravity of tho California disaster, which has put the Vesuvius calamity In the Shade. Many of the newspapers here continue to discuss the earthquake and to express the deepest sympathy with America. In German financial circles some concern Is felt as to tha possible effects of the Bon Francisco disaster on the International money market. One newspaper here esti mates the amount of German tire Insurance In California at over J3o0,000.000, Including the risks of one Austrian company; but this estimate probably Is excessive. Never thless, gold exports from London and probably from Germany are looked for, as New Y'ork exchange Is rising, cable trans fers today reaching 4.22. which permits profitable gold exports. Varloua American railway stocks and bonds were sold heavily yesterday on the Bourse and the shares of several fire insurance companies doing business In California scored big drops on prospective losses.

All of the ministers of this city deter mined today to offer to open their church buildings for the shelter of the destitute women and children who may arrive here from San Francisco.

OAKLAND, Cal., April 21. Crowded by hundreds of refugees In search of aid the relief stuttons that were hurriedly estab lished In this city are now the scenes of gnut activity. Prominent among the de partments of the stations are employment bureaus, where men and women clamor to be put to work. The survivors are seeking work not only for the money it will bring, but as a relief for minds that have been sorely tried for the past four days. Gathered among those who are search ing for work are men who were In pros perous circumstances. Former rich and poor alike are willing to take any kind of employment that Is offered. Women who were a few days ago the . possessors of snug fortunes are temporarily taking places as domestics that they may secure homes while order' Is being restored in San Francisco. The heads of the employment bureaus announced today that they would have work enough for nearly all applicants. Hundreds are being provided with trans portatlon'and being sent to Utah, Nevada and portions of California to work on the proposed route of the Western Pacific rail way. As soon as speclnls carrying food arrive at the Oakland station provisions are carted to the relief stations and from there distributed. Flour Is sent to private fam ilies that are engaged In baking bread for the public restaurants. Special trains are arriving In fast succession from various p.earby cities. Each train Is resplendent with banners announcing the section from which the donation was sent. The work of feeding the hungry Is an other department of the work that Is well organized, and if th relief trains keep arriving as they did today there should be no extensive hardship or enforced starvation. BOSTON &KM rOMMITTF.E WEST Omaha' Republican Wheelhcrses Are All Boosting, for Benson. DECLARATIONS OF INTENTIONS MADE Fawcett, Cowell and Others Make Clear Their Intention to Vote the Ticket straight at Coming; F.leetlon. What proved to be one of the best meet ings of the city campaign waa held at re publican headquarters on Ifamey street Saturday night, at which half a dozen lead ing republicans discussed the Issues of the campaign. Judge Fawcett, th? first speaker. said: "The republican party has always been the leader In all advancement of this nation, and has not waited for others to take the lead, nor will It now. We have declared ourselves in this campaign nnd t lie republican party must stick together and not be led astray hy the cry that national politics has no bearing In local campaigns. A senator Is to be elected next fall and we must preserve our organization. The dem ocrats are only hoping for enough sore spots to take away enough votes to win for them. The primary was fair and Breen beat me fairly and I am for him. Benson won fairly and all republicans should be for him." Cowell for Straight Ticket. Robert Cowell said: "It Is an anomaly of politics to pick up a comparative stranger to be the standard-bearer of the party. Why did they not choose some well known dem ocrat of Omaha? They say they wanted a man to represent them who had plenty of backbone. Why did they not select E. P. Smith? He has plenty of backbone, but too much of the kind they wanted in, this campaign. Why not Euclid Martin or J. A. C. Kennedy? They preferred to present a man not known. I will vote the straight republican ticket one turn of the lever will do for me." Jacob L. Kaley said: "The democratic party has tried to set aside all other issues In this campaign and make the fight on Sunday opening. This is not a political question. It Is a law." Hay ward on the Issues. C. S. Hayward, republican candidate for councilman from the Seventh ward, said the citizens of Omaha have not been doing their duty. "Good government, or rather better government, for our city Is what w-o want," said Mr. Hayward. "During the last week I have spent some time looking up the record of the head of the democratic ticket. The files of the World Herald In the public library will reveal a condition quite startling. Look at the flies for January 10 to 20, 1900, and you can easily see Dahlman Is a marked corporation man. The World-Herald then pointed out the matter very plainly. The telephone ques tion Is one which should be considered. Des Moines, St. Joseph and other neighboring towns are getting the benefits to be derived from an Immense number of Independent telephones, and why not Omaha? Within a radius of 200 miles of Omaha are 100,000 telephones with which the merchants of Omaha should be connected." Lakes Are for Benaon. Dr. Frederick Luke, son of Judge Lake, said: "I have always been a democrat and alwuys expect to be, but If It comes to a question of not being a democrat or not voting for liei.tson I will have to vote for Benson and Kood government. My father Is an old-tlmo democrat and he has told men he was going to vote for Benson, and I am sure many of the better clement In the democratic party are going to do the same. Dahlman talk Is very loud, but many of the democrats have already con ceeded the election of Benson." Benson la Tenth Ward. E. A. Benson addressed a good-sized meeting of voteis of the Tenth ward last night in the hall at Thirteenth and W1U. lam streets. He promised his hearers a sane and economical administration of the affairs of the city and his address was liberally punctuated with applause. "Most of the people here tonight," he said, "are home owners, small property owners. Tour first Interest Is In your taxes. You want to know whether they are too high and whether after you have paid them the money Is being economically spent. It seems to me taxes have been Increasing out of all proportion to the growth of the city and that the service we have been receiving Is not as good as we ought to have had for the money. If elected my object would be to see that no more money Is collected in taxes than Is absolutely necessary for the running expenses of the city. Lower Water Bents. "Water rents are next In Importance. I believe tha administration should do all In his power to assist the water board in acquiring the waterworks and then the rentals should be only high enough to pay the actual running expenses, the wear and tear on the plant and a fair Income on the .money Invested. I am In favor of Jl gas. "I also believe that In all parts of the city there should be playgrounds for the children. I am irrevocably opposed to mak ing this an easy city for criminals and ho boes. No man has a right to live here who does not earn an honest dollar. "I.saw over a picture of Mr. Dahlman near his headquarters the motto, "Help to Build I'p Omaha.' I think that is a good suggestion, If It Is meant for Mr. Dahlman. It could not have been meant for me, for I have been helping to build up Omaha for twenty years. I have been building an average of ten houses a year In Omaha and that Is helping to build up the city. I have no other object on earth than to do something. If elected, for the city of my adoption and the city I love." A. W. Jefferis, John Butler, Mayor Zlm man. Sam Oreenleaf and a number of other candidates also spoke.
