THE MOENING- OREG-OklAJS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1900. STRIKE AND POLITICS Effect of the Miners' Trouble on the Campaign. DISCUSSED AT BOTH HEADQUARTERS Republicans Determined That "Wo Po litical Color Be Given the Diffi culty Democrats Elated. CHICAGO, Sept S3. The anthracite coal miners' strike, called last night by Presi dent Mitchell, of the United Mine-workers' Association, was the subject of seri ous consideration at Republican National headquarters today. Senator Hanna and VIce-Chairman Payne held a long- confer ence with the resident members of the advisory committee as to the best steps to take that a political color be not given the Industrial difficulty in Pennsyl vania. At teh close of the conference, neither Chairman Hanna nor Vice-Chair-man Payne made a statement, but Perry S. Heath, chairman of the press com mittees, said: "We are not yet sufficiently advised as to the situation in Pennsylvania to ex press, any view, and it is not a matter to be talked of without careful considera tion of all the facts." Mr. Heath was equally reticent when asked regarding the success of the Croker slate at the New Tork State Convention at Saratoga yesterday. At Democratic headquarters there was no disinclination to talk. Secretary Walsh was In a happy state of mind over th success of the Croker element, and sold he was sure the coal strike would "benefit the Bryan ticket. "It will aid us to demonstrate to the working people that combinations of capital are dangerous and constitute a standing menace to labor. The' strike will cause agitation, and agitation Is education." COLORADO FCSIOJflSTS. After Much. Trouble, a. Full Ticket Was Pnt in the Field. DENVER, Sept 13. Fusion of the Democratic, Silver Republican and Pop ulist parties was accomplished at 3:45 o'clock this afternoon, when the Demo cratic convention adjourned, after being In continuous session since S o'clock yes terday afternoon. Yesterday afternoon, after the Demo cratic conference committee had declared Jtself unable to reach an agreement with the Silver Republican and Populist com mittees on a division of offices, the con vention took the matter out of their hands, and in opposition to the voices of many of the party leaders, including Gov ernor Thomas, voted to accept the prop osition which had been laid before them by Senator Teller and Thomas M. Patter son. This agreement was also accepted by both the other conventions. The fol lowing ticket was the result: Presidential electors, ex-Governor B. H. Eaton, Silver Republican; T. M. Patter son, Populist: J. H. Robeson, Democrat; Charles 3". Hughes, Jr., Democrat Con gressman, First district, John F. Sha iroth. Silver Republican; Second district, John C. Bell. Governor, James B.

Chlpley, Silver Re publican: Supreme Judge, Robert W. Steele, Silver Republican; Superintendent of Public Instruction, Miss Helen Gren fell, Silver Republican; Attorney-General, C. C. Pest Populist; Auditor, C. "W. Crouter, Democrat The Silver Republican and Populist conventions finished their work early, but it was 1:30 o'clock this morning be fore the Democrats made the nomination for Governor. There were six candi dates, Joseph H. Maupln, of Fremont County, leading on every ballot but the last, but being unable to increase his lead. After the ticket had been ratified by all" the conventions the Democratic conven tion reconsidered the ratification of the nomination of Calderwood for Lieutenant-Governor, on motion of Governor Charles S. Thomas, and referred tho. case to the state central committee. As a Temlt of the objection another session of the Populist convention was held to day to consider the matter. Mr. Calder wood tendered his withdrawal from the ticket, which was accepted, and David C. Coates, of Pueblo, president of the State Federation of Labor, and editor of the Pueblo Courier, the official organ of the Federation, was put in his place. Calderwood attained some notoriety as president of the Cripple Creek Miners' Union at the time of the strike riots in that district seven years ago. Jones, of Toledo, Declines. TOLEDO, O., Sept 13. Mayor Jones to day, in a card to the public, declines to stand as a candidate for Congress in the Toledo district Petitions have been cir culated, and it was the intentions of the Democrats to Indorse his candidacy.

The loss of life and property Is appalling so great that It re quires several days to form anything like a correct estimate. With aching hearts, but resolute faces, the sentiment of the meeting was that out of tho awful chaos of "wrecked homes and wrecked business Galveston must rise again.

Most of Those Aboard Perished Ref- ugees From Galveston Pouring Into Honston. NEW ORLEANS, Sept 18 The States this morning received a telegram from Hon. John H. Poe, member of the State Board of Education, residing at Lake Charles, .stating that 85 Hvs were lost on tho Gulf & Interstate train which left Beaumont early . Saturday morning for Bolivar Point, after 'having made connections with the Southern Pacific train which left this city Friday night Mr. Poe was one of the, . passengers on this train and fortunately, together with a few others, he sought safety in the lighthouse at Bolivar Point, and was saved. The train reached" B"ollvar about noon and all preparations wero made to run the train "on the .ferry-boat preparatory to crossing the bay. Tho wind blew so swiftly, however, that the ferry could not make a landing, and the conductor Of the train, after-allowing it to stand on the tracks for a few minutes, started to back it toward Beaumont The wind increased so rapidly, coming in from the open sea that soon the water had reached a level with the bottom of the seats within the car. It was then that some of the passengers sought safety in the near-by lighthouse. But Mr Poe states In his telegram that In spite of all their efforts, 85 people were blown away or drowned. The train was entire ly wrecked. Doubtless some of the killed were from New Orleans, as tho train made direct connections with the Southern Pacific train which left here Friday night, and there were a large number of New Or- leans passengers aboard. It is known that at least some of these were bound for Gaiveston. Those who were saved had to spend over 50 hours in' the lighthouse on almost no rations. Denied by Tweed. NEW YORK, Sept 14 A dispatch pur porting to be from, New Orleans and giv ing the Information that a Southern Pa cific, Company train which left New Or leans for Galveston last Friday had been struck by the hurricane and wrecked and 85 people Killed, was pronounced untrue by Mr. Tweed today. Mr. Tweed today reiterated his state ment that his road would not abandon Galveston, but would, in tho .immediate future, proceed with further Improve ments planned. He thought the South ern Pacific's loss by the hurricane at Gal veston would come inside "of $400,000. HOUSTON IS A HAVEN. Refugees From Galveston Pouring Into the. City. HOUSTON, Tex., Sept 13. Houston Is now the haven of the unfortunate people of Galveston. Trains have already brought in between 600 and 1000 of the survivors, and a motley crowd they are. Men bareheaded, barefooted, hatless and 'coatless, with swelled feefand bruised and "blackened bodies and heads were numerous. Women of wealth and refine ment, frequently hatless and shoeless, with gowns In shreds, were among the refugees. Sometimes there -would be a man, wife and a child or two, but these cases were rare, nearly all of those -who came In having suffered the loss of one "or more members of their family.' "Never were there so many sad hearts. Men bereft 'df their" wives and children; women who were widowed; children who were parerttless it was enough to touch the heart of any one, and it did so. Never was thfere more heroism shown. Although a Week ago these people had happy homes, they are now homeless and pen niless. They bore up bravely. True, they all wore sad expressions, but there was no whimpering, ho complaining. v They were all made to feel that Houston Is now their home, that they are welcome, and that everything for their comfort and welfare Is being done. They are being housed and fed, 'and thoso In need of medical attention are placed in the hos pitals, where they receive every care. From'all parts -of the United'States, and some portions of England, many thou sands of dollars are pouring Into this city for relief. TralnlOads of provisions and "clothing are also hurrying toward Houston and Galveston, and the refugees who have arrived here 4are being made as comfortable as possible. Estimates of the number of dead still vary, Mayor Jones, of Galveston, main taining his opinion that the number will be no less than 6000. Property losses are mounting higher as details arrive, and some estimates for the City of Galveston reach as high as $20,000,000. There are 25,000 homeless in that city to be taken care of, and It is a question whether Gal veston can or will be rebuilt There seems to be a disposition on the part of lead ing citizens, however, to start resolutely whero the storm left off, and raise a new "city fronl tho ruins of the old. Troopj are patrolling the streets, and lootlngnas been given a set-back. Sev eral additional cases have been reported where vandals have been shot down while rdbblng tho dead, but .the troops are rapidly gaining control of the lawless, ele ment. Mrs. John J. Moody, a member of the committee sent from Houston to take charge of the relief station at Texas City, reports as follows: "To the Mayor Sir: On arriving at La Marque this morning I was Informed that the largest number of bodies were along the coast .of Texas City. Fifty six were burled yesterday and today within less than two miles extending op posite this place and toward Virginia Point. It is1 yet six miles further to Virginia City, and the bodies are thicker where we are now than where they have been burled. A citizen inspecting in the opposite dlreotlon reports dead bodies thick for 20 miles. "The residents of"" this place have lost all not a habitable building left and they have been too busy disposing of the dead to look after personal affairs.

NEW YORK, Sept 13. Railroad men in this city have been discussing with great interest the possibility that Gal veston may be rebuilt on a different site less liable to the onslaughts of the Gulf of Mexico than the flat, sandy Island which has twice been denuded by wind and water. It Js rumored that the South ern Pacific Company will head a move ment to build the city on a spot 40 miles to the southwest of Its present location, at the mouth of the Brazos River. But the representatives of the railway system which connected Galveston with the outside world before the occurrence of the present disaster say her residents will rebuild on the same sand Island. In spite of the terrible experiences. They fcelleve that Galveston Is not Injured .financially, though her citizens have beon, and will be rebuilt by her citizens without the aid of outside capital. Charles H. Tweed, chairman, and D. O. Mills, of the Southern Pacific board of directors, both said last night that tho directors had not discussed the question of rebuilding Galveston. "The railroads," said Mr. Tweed, "will of course have to replace their own prop erty, but I do not think they will cooper ate In any movement to replace the town. The residents of Galveston do not need their help for that purpose. "Galveston Is of course In dire need of Immediate relief just now. There are many persons who have so suffered as to be keenly In want of financial assist ance, but Galveston Is a wealthy town, one of the wealthiest In the South, and When It comes to a question of replacing the city, I believe that the resources of her own citizens will be found quite adequate. "The town. In my opinion, will npt be reconstructed at the mouth of the Brazp's. It Is not an easy matter to move a city." "The land at Velasco Is somewhat higher than that at Galveston," said Pres ident Rousee, of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas. "It Is presumably a safer location, but it is impossible to say what locality will be chosen for rebuilding, or In fact anything about rebuilding the town until we get some more definite news of just what damage has been done. "In considering the question of a removal of a site It should bo borne in mind that Galveston has spent mora than $1,000,000 in building jetties to Improve its harbor. It is quite true that higher and better land exists at the mouth of the Brazos, but it is not likely that the residents of Galveston will want to turn to a new harbor after the great expenditure which has been made on their own." Assistant Secretary Henson, of tho In ternational & Great Northern Railway, said that he thought that the residents of Galveston would endeavor to reclaim their losses on their own territory rather than turn to a new site. "But I believe," he added, "that tho disaster will prove a back eye to the Gulf towns in that neighborhood." CRY FOR. DISINFECTANTS. The One Hope of Savincr "What la Left of the Population.
