BAN FRANCISCO, April .-The second Sabbath since the fateful April 18 has served aa a rlearlnr house in the affair of this ruined city. While the old-time quietude it missing-, the day has witnessed les of the excitement, confusion and clamor of its immediate predecessors and the community at large ha been enabled tn malt a calmer airvev of the Situation and to enter Into a more Intelligent and rational prrnnntlon lor the future. All possible work was auspended for the day, and the tired officials, who for nearly two weeka have labored Incessantly, with little sleep, to bring semblance of order out of chaotio conditions, took advantage of the lull to secure greatly needed rest and to pay some attention to pressing personal needs. With the advent of the Sabbath came an opportunity to review the tremendous ac complishment of the lust eleven days to provide remedies In the defects in the task of Judiciously caring for all clas.ea of the destitute. Irrespective of race or creed. Plans for solving the tremendous financial problems that confront the city begnn, to day to assume tangible form and Sunday closed with the brightest prospect that lias faced Ban Francisco since three-fourths of Its territory waa laid waste, Arrar to Distribute Belief. Probably the most Important development of Uie day was the promulgation by Qen eral Greeley of his plan for the dlstrlbu tlon of relief supplies. Reports of theft. deception, misappropriation, waste and ex travagance have been constantly received since provisions and clothing began pour ing In to succor the afflicted, and It Is no believed that misuse of supplies will here after be Impossible. In the first daya of the lire little or no attempt was made to keep check on food stuffs, the main Idea being to provide against want, and It la natural thai under this excusable haphaxard order of affairs many abuses should arise. But even when the linea were more tightly drawn un scrupulous persons continued to take ad vantage of the general distress and It was tht-n realised that the salvation of the sit nation, rested with- the army.' Bo the ofBrlals of this branch of the federal gov eminent were called upon to engage In an unprecedented service. That success will doubtless meet their efforts may be In. ferretl from the completeness of the plan of General Oreeley. The unturned part of the city will be divided Into seven dl trlcts In charge of army officers, who will assume control of all the relief stations now established. Responsible civilians will be Installed un der salary at the substations for the pur pose of clerical work and dally records and checks will be kept. It is declared that the period of extreme distress has passed and at the earliest possible moment the issue of rations mutt be confined to helpless women and children and refused to -adult males, unless they are sick or In enfeebled condition. Issues of luxuries or articles of special diet will be confined to infants and Invalids. Rigid economy 1 enjoined upon any officer engaged In relief work. In each of the seven districts there will be 100. ta. tlons. The amount of food to be allowed each person, with latitude for certain con ditlons, la specified, and the allowance Is based on the arrry ration. Plaa to Secure Foods. At the meeting today at which were pres. ent Jamei P. Phelnn, chairman of the finance committee, and some noted lawyers and banke'iB, a plan was broached for financing the city, which it Is hoped will meet with the endorsement of the general committee. It being estimated that the city has suffered a loss if at least $-O,OO.Oo0 by fire, it is considered that there Is not suf flclent money In San Francisco to recon. struct the city and that the people here must look elsewhere for fundi to rehabtll tat their destroyed fortunes. Mr.' Fhelan aald that if the money Is borrowed through ordinary channels, the rate of Interest will add a burden t necessarily increased taxation that will be too heavy to bear. The plan of Mr. Phelan la to frame legislation to preset! to congress asking the United States to endorse the proposed bond of Ban Fran cisco. Wtth this guarantee of the govern ment, the city will be able to go Into the financial market of the world and borrow the needed money at 2 to 2V per cent, the bonds to run for fifty years and conatttut a mortgage on the best portion of the city. Mr. Phelan asserted that such legislation would not be new in congress. It was by virtually such measures that the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads were built, and more recently by like legislation that railroad In the Philippines became as sured to the people of the Islands. The work of furnishing the necessities of life to the homeless and needy continues with more system and with unabated energy, but desplj the care of the officials at the heads of the bureau complaint are reported of oversight in supplying ta tions, but these error are quickly recti fled. Tomorrow the Red Cross people ex pect to have their Individual ticket system in operation and this will facilitate the plans ef the army In preventing abuses, skelter for Practically All. The number of people without substantial ahelier has been reduced to a minimum. The housing committee reported today that us work had been almost completed, the applications for accommodations havin, used. The work of this committee ha uven lessened by the numerous departure of people In teal to other part of the mate. Religious service were held In the open air In many of the saved district today and In churches that were pro nuunced aaf for Immediate use throng gathered to listen to the sermons of the clergymen. Probabaiy the most significant instance of the determination of the officials to bring about a restoration of the old order of things and of the disposition of the people lOoatinued an Second Tag.)

STOCKHOLM, April 29.-tSpeclal Cable gram to The Bee.) Replying to a question In tho Riksdag with regard to the su (Tur ing of the Lapland population In the north, the milliliter of the interior explained that the starvation of the reindeer herds which was causing famine among the Lapps was due more to immediate climatic conditions In the districts whero the reindeer were pastured than the effects of the Karlstad convention limiting the pasture rights of these nomads. A hard frost following a partial thaw had covered the snow with a thick Ice crust through which the reindeer were unable to reach the mcsse they feed on. To save tln ! h leer herds from starva tion they had b .i driven across the fron tier Into Finland and Norway long before the period fixed by treaty for these migra tions, Biid had been rniseju..fUly driven back under penalty of Imv.ied.late confisca tion. Legally this proceeding on the par'. of tne local authorities Is perfectly Justi fied, but it ha culled forth articles In the Swedish press showing that the very exlrt- ence of the nomadic I-apl.mders in threatened unler.w a better regulation cf their pastoral conditions can be devised A the minister said in concluding hi statement In Parliament, their existence In absolutely dependent on the generosity of the three nations within whose, frontiers their pasture lar.1i lie. These are bound to agree In creatine for the Laplander such conditions of existence as are essential to their nomadic pastoral pursuits. If thtr gradual extinction and d'ttrperanv from the land of which they wre t,e rigmal owner Is to be averted.

WEEK'S WORK FOR CONGRESS Senate Will Attempt to Bet Time for Vote on Bate Bill SEVENTY AMENDMENTS TO BE CONSIDERED Hon Will Begin Actual Consid eration of the Agricultural Appropriation Bill Today. WASHINGTON, April I'S.-Railroad rate legislation continues to hold first place in the United States senate. There are three or four more general speeches to be made on the bill and when the last one of them shall have been heard, If not be fore, there will be an agreement upon a time for taking the final vote. This Is ex pected to be about May 10. So far official notice has been given of only two more speeches. They will be made by Senator Clark of Arkansas, who will speak Mon day, and by Senator Daniel, who will be heard Tuesday. It is possible that Senators Rayner and Frasler and even others will desire to be heard, so that a considerable portion of the present week will be de voted to general discussion. By common consent several days will be consumed in considering amendments under the rule limiting speeches to ten minutes. The Intention la to give a week to conslderaton of the bill under that rule, and as this con sideration will necessarily be postponed until the close of the general debate, the effect may be to delay the final vote, but not for more than a few days at most. Set ent Amendment to Consider. Senator Tillman's. Intention is to ask for unanimous consent to vote on a day to be named, an 1 'then If this is secured to allow the senate to decide for Itself how much time It will devote to amend ments. So far about seventy amendments have been suggested, but It is not expected that a great many of them will be seriously considered. Attention will be concentrated largely upon the court review question. Senator generally say that some kind of review provision is probable, but predic tions as to which of them will be chosen range all the way from Senator Long' to Senator Foraker's suggestion. It Is rlalmed that there will be a solid republican vole against Senator Bailey's nonsuspen slon provision Program of the House. The real legislative work of the national house of representatives on the agricul tural appropriation bill will begin this week. The general debate on this measure took a wider range and occupied considerable more time than had been expected. Tho two sides of the tariff question were laid be. fore tho country and there was little said regarding the bill, although it remained before the house throughout the week. Today will be given up to the passage of bills under suspension of the rules. Many Important bills have been passed In the house this session on suspension days and with Mr. Williams, the minority leader, objecting to all "unanimous consent" legis lation, to further the statehood bill sus pension becomes all the more Important. Speaker Cannon has received more ap plications for recognition under thin order than the time will permit and It I not un likely that suspension day may be "re cessed" into Tuesday In order that minor matter may be cleared up. One of the efforts today will be by the committee on Immigration to give the recently Imported immigration bill a "right of way" over all but appropriations. The agricultural bill will be taken up Tuesday and It Is estimated that two days will be consumed In reading and perfecting its sections. The naval appropriation bill Is in waiting and tho plan now Is to call It up the moment the agricultural bill Is out of the way. Claim have the right of way Friday so that at the best Thursday and Friday can be given to the navy bill. A week In addition to these two day will be occupied on this measure. The sundry civil bill will be In readlnes when the naval bill Is out of the way. Rnlofflee In the House. The house met at 11 o'clock today to hear addresses on the life, character and pub lic services of John M. Plnckney, late a representative from the Eighth Texas dls- j Irlct.

ILLEGAL WORK EXTENDS TO OTHER PARTS Republicans Assert Democrats Mean to teal Election and Warrants of Arrest Will Be Beady nt Polls. Conclusive evidence of election frauds on the largest scale ever known in Omaha waa disclosed by the registration Satur day. Detectives and volunteer cttlxens. work ing under the direction of the republican city committee Sunday, canvassed the residences given by men suspected of hav ing registered illegally and discovered hundreds of fictitious addresses. The Il legal registration is said to have been chiefly In the Third ward, but was found to have beon crevalent In the Second and Tenth wards and In the Fifth precinct of the Ninth ward as well, besides having extended to ether wards In small propor tions. Three Hundred and Fifty In Third. A. II. Burnett, a member of the republi can executive committee, said: "In the Third ward alone we have dis covered something like 350 Instances of registration of persons who cannot be found at the addresses given. There are hundreds In other wards and we are still prosocutlng the effort to run down every case of Illegal registration. There Is no doubt whatever that a desperate attempt has been concocted to win this election for the democrats by foul means. The character of the registration shows be yond a doubt that Benson should carry the city by from 2,000 to 3.500 votes. We have made careful arrangements to arrest every man Illegally registered when ho at tempts to vote. The warrants will bo Is sued Monday by the county attorney's of fice and deputy sheriffs will be on hand at the polling places in every precinct to arrest the fraudulent registered persons when they appear. The names used will be thosa of men registered who cannot bo located in Omaha. Agents Jo Ont In Pairs. "Our plan consisted of sending reliable men out In pair with quantities of circu lar addressed to names we suspected were fraudulently entered. In the Third ward the registration total was about 850. Our agents worked hard Sunday and at 6 o'clock had discovered about 350 instances where the men could not be found. Va cant lots, business houses and even the middle of railroad yards were Included In the addresses given. Where a house stood at the number the Inmates declared they knew of no such persons as the names registered. One man gave his address as the Barker hotel, a house that has not been doing business for several years and which was. converted into a wholesale implement establishment. These are fair Illustrations of the frauds exposed." F. K. Buckmlnster, the Chicago detec tive, who with a force of operative Is hired by the republicans to prevent fraud on the part of the deomcrat say that at least 200 non-residents registered Sat urday, not onJy,ence but several times. He suspect that many of them came from South Omaha. Democrats Mean to Steal It. "It 1 aa clear as daylight to me that the democrat mean to steal this election," said he. "Gangs of repeater have been brought here to register and vote a many times as possible. At least 200 men are Im plicated In the Job. Warrant will be Issued Monday and those who can't be found will be arrested when they attempt to vote. We have been promised all the special deputy sheriffs wo need in addition to the regular force." At the Fontanelle club activity in check ing up registration lists continued all day Sunday. Much was suspected Saturday night, but few members of the republican committee dreamed of anything like the disclosure developed. Over Six Thousand Total. The total number registering Saturday with three precincts missing Is 6,618. It is estimated that at least half of these were transfer from one ward or precinct to an other. Counting these In an estimate of 3,500 new registrations Is made, which is considered very large. Sunday evening the books of the Second precinct of the Third ward, the Fifth of the Ninth and the First of the Twelfth had not J2.een returned to the city clerk. The missing precinct In the Third wa said to have accumulated 271 registrations, which would make a total of 846 In this ward, or nearly 100 more than any other ward in the city. This fact wa pointed to a another bit of circumstantial evidence pointing towards fraud. City Clerk Elbourn, his regular, office force and about half a doxen special as sistantsall he could hire worked all day Sunday bringing the office copies of the registration books up to date In accordance with the Saturday revision. The task will not be completed until today. The registration figure a far a ob tained stand aa follow: Scatter- Ward. Rep. Pern. ing. Total.
