Many of the Insurance eompsnies may fall, large losses from the disaster may never be recovered by the property own era, factories that, were there may be . rebuilt . elsewhere, and a - considerable T proportion of the population and capital rescued from, .the ruined city may never , return. But 150 men who are mil lionaires, or nearly -so, stand behind the grim specters of wrecked buildings and palaces, and fallen Industrie, and they beckon the people to stay.

Where terraces are built, they should be formed so as to modify the hills whose outlines are too ragged or violent. "It Is proposed In, general to acquire for public purposes, those slopes of r hills too steep for building: and. where contour roads run through residence districts, to reserve from 60 to 100 feet In addition on the tower side, in order to retain In some .degree the outlook over the cltr." Streets ascending the hills will 'be by winding routes, and tha preaent aquar blocka will be reshaped to fit the re qulrementa of graceful highways. Mar ket street will be extended to the ocean. There will be a public amphitheatre or coliseum, commanded by natural hill sides, as In Rome; recreation piers and yacht harbors .along tha waterfront; athletic grounds- for men and women.

Chinatown will be converted Into a modern business center: Telegraph hill will be made a great playground and sightseeing point; and there will be the moat elaborate system of boulevards. Including one along the bay shore. In and through San Mateo county, If Burnham's stu pendous scheme Is carried out. It Is said the absolute necessity for a large commercial and manufacturing center exists, and will always exist, a the Golden Gate, and that the men of greet wealth realise thla. Although atrong differences of opinion may be heard from men who know and have large Interests In San Francisco, those who believe inalterably in the destiny of the place point to the Spreckels, the MeOees, .

The players who came but a few days ago. praised and petted and greeted with hurrahs by their ad mirers, have, left disappointed and pen niless, at least for the time being. ' ' Saved Art Works. That the masterpieces In the Mark Hopkins Institute of art are preserved Is due to the business-like courage of Lieutenant McMillan' of . the revenue cutter Bear. When It was seen that the beautiful structure which contained the most valued works of art on, the coast - waa inevitably .. to become - the prey of flamea. the lieutenant pointed his pistol at every able-bodied man in his sight and ordered them to carry out the palntlnga. The lieutenant was not forced to shoot, the treasures were removed to safety. . The Interior of the Fairmount hotel waa devoured by the fire yesterday. It was the hope, the pride of San Fran cisco, its last magnificent building, and the sight of it la conflagration brought tears to tha eyes of many Jen Fran claco cltlsens who had seen their own property reduced to smoldering sshes with dry eyes.
