-'- THE MORNIKG OKEGONIASr, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBEE 11, 1900.' NOTHING IN RUMORS No- Change Regarding Stock Grazing on Reservation. WILL KOT IS FURTHER RESTRICTED Ifo Intent!, -to C&ace tk Present System Mowcxt Jbainier District Is ParttcmUtrlr Mentioned. WASHT2K3TON, D. O, Sept. lO.-Kbt since last Spring have any orders been Issued from Washington affecting the grazing of stock on any of the forest res ervations. At that time permits for the current season were issued. It is not the present Intention of the Interior Depart ment, which- has jurisdiction in such cases, to. make any change In the pre ent system. Secretary Hitchcock and the General "Land Office both declare that thore,-ls. no foundation for the rumors to the effect that grazing is to be-restricted any more than at present, and particu larly in the district of Mount Halnier Forest Seservatlon. Under the permits Issued last Spring, 250,000 sheep have been allowed to graze on this reservation, but this privilege expires on .September 25, when the Department concludes the sea oon closes. This, fact may have given rise to the rumor, but as the permits were each one issued for the period of July 1 to September .25, there should be no misconstruction placed on this speci fication. Grazing -will be allowed on Ra nter next year the same as this, unless it should develop that the sheep-grazing of -the present Summer has proven dis astrous to the forests. There has been no Intimation of this so far received. Cattle and horses, will be allowed to "graze on all reserves next year, as -this 'year, without unreasonable restraint In the matter of sheep-grazing, the Agri cultural Department has no authority to permit or restrict, but merely offers its opinion 'when asked. Secretary "Wilson Is personally very strongly In favor of grazing in an intelligent "way, and has so expressed himself to the Interior De partment and -public. TXSITED JTOB.TH YAKIMA. Seattle Sadness lien Knjoy u Ex cursion to the City. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Sept 10. The Seattle business men's excursion to Uorth Yakima has been an unqualified success. Is the verdict of both the visit ors and the Yakima people tonight The Seattle men are enthusiastic in their praise of the town and Its people, and the people are highly gratified at the opportunity they "have had to entertain 60 of the most active and energetic and successful men of 'the. state's metropolis, and to show them -what has been done and is now doing in this valley. The day, -which -was a delightful one, was spent among the farms within a ra dius of 10 miles of town. In the morn ing the visitors were taken in carriages up the Ahtanum, where several hundred of the most prosperous farmers of the state have fine homes and land in a high state of cultivation. Stops were madtf at some of the orchards and vineyards. In. the afternoon some of the carriages were driven up the Natchez to the big hay farms: others visited the largest hop-' yards in the state, on the Moxee, whera hundreds of Indian pickers are gather ing in the crop. Some drove out to the artesian wells in the Upper Moxee. Tonight the Seattle men were enter tained by the Commercial Club." Short speeches were made by .Messrs Cllse, Summer, Nadeau, "Wyckoff, Davies and 3?roseh, of Seattle, and by Mayor Red man, and Messrs. R. nglehart and Hare, of ,th'is -place A .punchbowl, cigars and ib"flnest Yakima fruits completed the programme. The feeling is that the excursion was well .planned, and well timed, and that It will accomplish much that its promoters hoped in establishing friendly feelings between Seattle and North Yakima.

Mrs. Norman, Selby, wife of "Kid McCoy," in an appli cation for divorce from her husband, con firms by affidavit the statement made recently by Mrs. J. J. Corbett that the fight between Corbett and McCoy, which took place August 30, was a fake. Mrs. McCoy charged her husband with having sold out Ms friends in the fight and her affidavit says: "Recently my husband, Norman Selby. has become possessed of a large sum of money $100,000 in cash secured in the following manners As a professional prize-fighter, my husband entered into a conspiracy in which a contest was to take plaoe between him and one James J. Cor bett it being prearranged that he was not to try to win said contetst but permit "himself to be defeated; that the day -net for said professional contest was August 20, 1900. "Before the said date my husband en tered into an agreement with one Eddie Burke and one Harry Helnds, the former a well-known bookmaker, and the latter .proprietor of a gambling-house in the City of Cheyenne, State of Wyoming, whereby the said Burke and Helnds were to pro cure all the mon,ey they could through out the United States, wherever they were able to make bets to the effect that the said James J. Corbett would be the victor of sold pretended contest, the said Norman Selby, otherwise known as "Kid McCoy' agreeing, in the parlance of the prizering, to 'lay down,' or, in other words, suffer defeat ""That In order to secure themselves against the duplicity of my husband and as security that he would fulfill his part of tthe conspiracy, said Eddie Burkerand Harry Helnds insisted that my hGsband deposit a certain amount of moheywith said Burke, and said Norman Selbv. ntfi- erwise known as 'Kid McCoy,' did there- 1 upon take from his vault In the New Am- sterdam Bank safety vaults, Canadian Pacific Railway securities to the amount Of $10,000, which the said plaintiff then owned, and did deposit the same "with the ' said Eddie Burke."

HOUSTON, Tex., Sept 10. Among the refugees which the Galveston, Houston & Henderson train picked up at La "Marque, which Is about four and a half miles south of "Virginia Point, was Pat Joyce, who resided In the west end of Galveston. Joyce is In the employ of the construction department of the South ern Pacific Company. "l began raining In Galveston Saturday morning early," said he. "About 9 o'clock work was discontinued by the company, and I left for home. I got there about 11 o'clock and found about three feet of water in the yard. The water con tinued to rise, and the wind was blowing a gale. Finally, the house was entirely demolished. -People all around me were endeavoring to find places of safety, and were shrieking In despair. There were nine families in the house, which was. a large two-story frame, and of the- 50 people residing there, myself and niece were the only ones who could get away. I managed to 'find a raft of driftwood or wreckage, and got on it going with the tide. Suddenly the raft struck some wreckage and my niece was knocked out of my arms. 1 could not save her, .ana had to see her drown. "The raft was carried on and on with the tide, continually striking wreckages and throwing me from, my feet, until my body was black and blue from bruises. The wind was blowing at a ter rific rate. I drifted and swam all night, not knowing where I was going, or in what direction. About 3 o'clock in the morning I began to feel the hard ground, and knew I was on the mainland. I wandered around until I came to a house, and there a person gave me some clothes. I had lost most of mine soon after 1 started, and wore only a coat I was in the water about seven hours. I have lost all I had in the world relatives, home and all. "The Miller residence, where I resided, was-about three blocks from the Gulf, and there were fully eight or ten feet of water in this district when I left The wind was blowing Saturday afternopn and night about 75 miles an 'hour. The people at first kept within their houses, consequently when the water began dash ing against, the houses, completely wreck ing them, many lives were lost I have no Idea how many were lost I was In the storm which struck Galveston in 1875. but that one, bad as It was, was nothing In comparison with Saturday's storm."

No one In the house was hurt -"Of the Lavine family, six out of seven are reported deady ' "Of the Burnett family, only one is known to have been saved. "The family of Standley G.

"It will take a week to tabulate the dead and mfssing and xto get anything approximately near, the Idea of he loss. It Is safe to assume that one-half of the property of the city Is wiped out, and that one-half of the residents have to face absolute poverty. Rnin at Texas City. "At Texas City three of the residents were drowned. One man stopped Into a well by 'mischance and his corpse wa3 found there. The other two men ven tured alpng the bay front during the height of the storm and were killed. "There are few buildings at Texas City that do not tell of the storm. The hotel isa 'complete ruin.

'CHICAGO, SepL- 10, The following statement of the situation at Galves ton and along the coast was received to night: "Dallas, Tex;, Sept. 10. To Charles S. Dlehl, General Manager the Associated. Press: From the latest reports, which are considered reliable, the disaster at Galveston and along the coast has not been exaggerated. The waters of -tha gulf and bay met, covering the Island to a depth of six to 12 feet. During this .sudden flood a most terrible storm was raging, the wind blowing about SO miles an hour. Many of the dead have been uncovered; others are still under the de bris; others carried out to sea. It is not possible to give at this time a re liable report as to the number of deaths. From estimates made by reliable per sons who have Just come from Galves ton, It is believed that not less than 1500, and possibly as many as 5000 people, were drowned. Of course, the, wounded "are numerous. The" damage to property Is most shocking. ' , "Some of the best public and private establishments were wrecked. Thou sands of homes were swept entirely away. It is quite safe to set this down as one of the greatest disasters that has ever visited the United States. The loss of property Is Irreparable; the loss of life Is appalling. G. B. JDEALY, "Manager Dallas News." THROUGH THE STRICKEN CITY. Scenes of Dentil and Desolation En countered by Relief Parties. GALVESTON, Tex,, Sept. 10. Starting as soon as the water began to recede, tho Houston Post correspondent, with 'others, began rescuing the wounded and dying 'from the ruins of their .homes. The scenes presented cannot be told of In a prosaic' manner. Screaming women, bruised and bleeding, some of them bear ing the lifeless forms of children In their arms; men broken-hearted and sob-' bmg, bewailing the loss of their wives and. children; streets- filled with floating rubbish, among which there were many bodies of the victims of the storm, con stituted part of the scene. In every di-' rection as far as the eye could' reach the scene of desolation and destruction con tinued. The first loss of life reported was at Rlters salocn, on the Strand, where three of the most prominent citizens lost their lives, and where many others were maimed and Imprisoned. These three were sitting at a table making light of the dan ger, jocularly telling each other they would stay In the city. Suddenly the roof came down with a crash, killing them. Those In the lower part of the building escaped, with their lives In a mir aculous manner. The falling roof and flooring were caught on the bar, people dodging under the debris. 'It ..re quired several hourB' hard work to get them out Tho negro waiter who was sent for the doctor was drowned at tho corner of the Strand and Twenty-first street, and his body was found a short time after. Colonel L. J. Park, general manager of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa hFe, and several prominent citizens 'left the restaurant a few minutes before the collapse. , The next place visited was the City Hall. Here .were congregated fully 700 people, who were more or less Injured In various ways. One man from Lucas Ter race reported the loss of 50 lives -'In the building from which ho escaped. He himself was severely injured about the head. On Avenue M several ladies were Im prisoned in a residence- by the 'water and debris. They were rescued by a par ty headed by Captain M. Therict. Sev eral of them were badly hurt, but they are still living. Coming back to Tremont street ,andr going out to Avenue P, by climbing, over the piles of lumber,' which had once been residences, four bodies were' observed In one yard and seyen In one room. As many as 60 bodiea were to be seen lying singly -and in groups in the space of one block. A majority of. the bodies, however, that have not been recovered are under the ruined houses, and It will take several days' hard work to get all of them out The body of Miss Sara Summers was found -by the correspondent near her home on Tremont and Avenue F, her' lips smiling, but her features set in death, her hands grasping her diamonds tightly. The remains of her sister, Mrs. Claude Fordtram, have not been recovered. The report from St Mary's Infirmary shows that ..only eight persons escaped from that, hospital. The number of patients and nurses could not be ascertained, but the number of Inmates was seldom -under 100. Rosenberg Schoolhouse, which was chosen as. a place of refuge by the peo ple of that locality, collapsed. Some' of. those who had taken -.refuge there es caped.

Police Of ficer John Bowie, who recently was awarded a prize as the most popular of ficer in the city, was met by the Post cor respondent In a pitiable condition. The toes on both his feet were broken, two ribs caved In, and his head badly bruised, but his own condition he said was noth ing, "My house, my wife and children are In the gulf. I have not a thins on earth for which to live." Pat O'Keefe, who has for years kept a popular resort on the beach, and who Is known to every visitor to Galveston, was bemoaning the loss of his wife and everything he Had on earth. Where his resort stood on the beach facing the Gulf there Is not a vestige of a building to bo seen.- The great bathing pavll!on, known 'as the Pagoda, the big pleasure resort known as the Olympla and Murdoch's bathhouse are all swept away into tho Gulf. There were few bodies on the beach. They had been swept Into the gulf or driven up Into the rubbish by the waves. A 3-year-old boy sat holding his bleeding head In his hands, making not a murmur of complaint. He was taken back to town, smiling at the Joy of human companionship after hl3 awful ex perience. He "will probably recover. The houses of all prominent citizens Which have escaped destruction have been turned into hospitals, as have the-leading hoteis. There is scarcely a house left standing which does not contain one or more of the dead as well as many in jured. The rain began to pour down In torrents and the party went back down Tremont street toward the city. The misery of the poor people, all" mangled and hurt, press ing to the " city for medical attention, was greatly augmented by this rain. Stopping at a small grocery store to avoid the rain, the party found It packed with Injured. The provisions in the store had been ruined, and there was nothing for the numerous customers who came hungry and tired. The place was a hos pital, no longer a store. Further down the street a restaurant which had been submerged by water was serving out sog gy crackers and cheese to the hungry crowd. That was all that was left. On re'turnlng to the Tremont Hotel, which Is the news center of the city, the reporter found the death list to be swell ing rapidly, the accounts coming from every portion of the city. It is hard to determine what section of the city suf fered the greatest damage and loss of life. Information from both the extreme mJm imfS'w' Surgical operations and flesh destroying plasters are useless, painful and" dangerous, and besides, nerer cure Cancer. No matter how often a cancerous sore is removed, another comes at or near the same point, and always in a worse form. Does'not this prove conclusively that Cancer is a blood disease, and that it is folly to attemptto cure this deep-seated, dangeroua blood trouble by cutting or burning out the sore, which, after all, is only an outward sign of the disease a place of exit for the poison? Cancer runs in families through many generations, and those whose ancestors have been afflicted with it are liable at asj time to be stricken with the deadly malady. Only Blood Diseases can be Transmitted from One Generation to Another further proof that Cancer is a disease of the- blood. To cure a blood disease like this yon must cure the entire blood system remove every trace of the poison. Nothing cures Cancer effectually and permanently but S. S. S. .S.S.

FOR THE CHILDREN ANIMAI, eastern and extreme western portions of the city were difficult to obtain, but the reports received indicated that those two sections had suffered the same fate that the rest of the city had, and to a possi bly greater degree. Yesterday morning a boat was chartered at Houston to run from Galveston to Texas City, and on this the Houston Post correspondent had hurriedly departed. From what he saw and heard from some of the fleeing- business men, he can assure the public that the people of Galveston need immediate relief. The object In sending to Texas City was to get In touch with the outside world and lot it know that a stricken city is In misfor tune, and ask the people of the country to send food, clothing and water. In the business section of the city the water was from three to 10 feet deep In stores, and stocks of all kinds. Including foodstuffs, are total losses. "While the Post correspondent was In Galveston Sat urday night, It was a common sight for him to see women and children emerging from once comfortable and happy homes, dazed and bleeding from wounds, the women wading neck deep with babies In their arms. To add, if possible, to the calamity, the city is cut off entirely from the world. The telegraph lines are down and the cable which connects Galveston with Mexico is cut in sailing from Texas City yesterday tho Post correspondent used a strong glass, but could see nothing of any of the bridges which connect the island with the mainland,, but where the bridge should be a big ocean vessel was strand ed. In the streets the wires were down, telegraph and telephone poles falling, slate and glass and timber flying through tho air. At times people would sail rap idly by In boats, and, colliding with some obstruction, would be painfully injured. Dr. "West, one of the most prominent physicians in Galveston, was drowned near the Bosenburg School Building, whither he had gone to attend a patient who was reported to be Injured. As soon as daylight came and the fury of the wind had abated, the work of res cue and searching for the dead com menced. In one room the Post reporter counted seven dead bodies. The Tremont Hotel was made a rendez vous for the living. The women and children slept In the dining-rooms and parlors, and the men lay on the floors In the hallways. The first house to col lapse was a three-story brick known as the "Dulltz Building." At noon tho big wagon bridge went down with a crash, and It Is thought the other bridges, three in number, are to tally or almost totally wrecked. a namuess looiang wart or moie, a lump in me qreast, a cut or Dnase tarn, wameatoi treatment, should all be looked upon with suspicion, as this is often tbe&cgoatag--B ana, ana aonctite ijojdag perfect health."

SEEN IX POUTANBw JUST INSIBE THE MIDWAY GATS The Galveston News office, on Mechan ic street, was flooded. The back end of tho building caved in, the engine and boilers were filled with water, making it impossible for a paper to be Issued. At the Union Depot scenes similar to those met with in other portions of the city are to be found., Baggagemastcr Harding picked up the lifeless form of a baby girl, within a few feet of. the sta tion. Its parents could not be located nd are supposed to have been lost. Tho station building had been selected as a place of refuge by a large number of peo ple. All windows In the building and a portion of the walL at the top were blown in and the occupants expected every mo ment to be their last. But escape was impossible, for about the building1 the water must have been fully 12 feet deep. A couple of small shanties were floating about, but there was no means of making a raft or getting a boat. Of the small shipping only a few boats are left. The little schooners have been lifted bodily out of the water and flung up on the island. Others will bleach their bones on the mainland coast. The bis dredge used at Texas City 'has been driv en inland for a half mile and she can never be gotten off except In pieces. The Pensacola was in port when, the storm began, but Master Simmons put to sea in the teeth of. the brewing" storm, and it is feared that the boat and her crew of 38 men have been lost. There are now no big vessels about tho wharves, which ware alive with seamen and 'longshoremen Friday afternoon, stowing cargoes. The three grain ele vators and Reymorshoffer mill are wrecks. They are not down, but their roofs and top stories have gone and grain stored therein has probably been ruined by the rain. The damage to the ships at thi3 time, when the demand for tonnage is so great, is regarded as one of tho worst features of the disaster from :v business standpoint. None of the vessels are Irretrievably lost, but It will take some fjlme to get the boats off and to get them repaired, even though they are not wrecked. In the business portion of the city, the damage cannot be even approximately estimated. The buildings along the Strand have about seven, feet of water on their floors, and windows were demol ished. The top of the Moody Bank Bulldr lng was blown away and the fixtures of every house on this long business thor oughfare were destroyed. On Mechanic street the water was al most as deep as on tho Strand. All pro visions In wholesale groceries and goods on the lower floors were saturated and rendered valueless.
