Of the scenes that marked

careless city on the continent, into
wreck and a hell, it is hard to write.
Inal. tate duy started with a blind gen-

selves floundering on the floor. In such

falling walls. They stumbled across
the floors of their heaving houses to
End that even the good earth upon
which they placed their reliance was

the sidewalks croched and great rents

of terror. We learn Isere of at least
Iwo people who died of pure fright in
that three minutes when there seemed
no help on earth or Heaven. There
was n roar like a great burst of thun-
der, and from all about carte the crash
of falling walls. It died down at last,
leaving the earth quaking and quiver-

might be greater any moment, seemed
to take the earth from under their feet,

to put the city under martial law. Or-

It seemed to be two or three minutes
after the great shock was over before
people found their voices, There collotv'
earth was shaking with little tremors,
many of which brought down walls
and chimneys. At each of these the res-
cuers, even the firemen, would stop
for a moment, paralyzed. The 8
o'clock, the heaviest after the big one,
drove even those who had determined
to stay by the stricken city to look for
means of escape by water.
A SAFETY COMMITTEE.
There was an open park opposite the
City Hall. Ilere, in default of a build-
ing, the Board of Supervisors met and
formed, together with 50 substantial
citizens whom they had gathered, n
committee of safety. They also set
themselves to the problem of providing
quarters for the dying and dead. Me-

Wednesday was Count Aoki, the new
Japanese Mini,ler to Washington. The
Count declares that the crops this year
in his country will be good, and that by
September all danger of famine will be
over. 'fho biggest problem, he says,
now before the Government of Jape,' Is
the nationalization of the railways. and
already they have decided on taking
over seventeen lines. iteduction in the
tern of military service Is also receiving;
consideration. The soreness over the
terms of peace, he says, is now sub-
siding, allowing the Government to de-
vote allenlion to domestic problems.
Although there has been considerable
consumption of flour from this country,
Count Aoki says the Jap is not likely to
abandon his main diet of rice, nor does
he look for it big market for the ares of
British Columbia in his country. which,
he :nys, is also very rich In minerals.
