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."

Yesterday afternoon, after the Demo
cratic conference committee had declared

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

to the state central committee. As a
Temlt of the objection another session
of the Populist convention was held to

Associated Press 'brings the cheery news
that-In every town and city in the United

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.
Those who have anything left are giving
It to the others, and yet there Is real
suffering. 1 have given away nearly all
the bread' I brought for our own use to
hungry children.
"A number of helpless women and beg
gared children were landed here from
Galveston and bad no place to go andnot
a bite to eat. Tomorrow others are ex
pected from the same place. Every 10
feet along the -wreck-lined coasts tells
of the acts of vandalism; not a trunk,
valise or tool chest has escaped rifling.
We burled a woman this afternoon who
bora the marks of recently removed
rings. Other details are too long to enu
merate." B. F. Cameron, a lumber dealer of
Stowell. Chambers Cpunty, says that
the relief party who went from Stow
ell , to Bolivar reported to him that
thefo were over -1000 dead bodies on
tho beach at Bolivar in East Bay,
and in sight of the salt marshes
which line the bay. The party succeed
ed in burying only 40 corpses. The oth
ers are lying In the water and on land
decomposing and throwing forth a horri
ble stench. The carcasses of animals are
mixed In with then
Many of these bodies were evidently
swept across the bay; from Galveston.
Others ate of people who lived at 'Boli
var. It will be necessary to collect and
burn these remains to prevent the out
break of an epidemic -which may ex
tend far Into the Interior of Chambers
County. .
General Manager Van Vleck, of the
Southern Pacific, has returned from
a trip to Galveston to examine Into
the damage done to the wharves of
his 'company .being built . therg. He
says the damage is fully SO per cent
The Southern Pacific, he says, is carry
ing men and material to Virginia Point as
fast as possible and expects 'to begin
work on the bridge within two days. It
13 thought trains will be run Into Gal
veston within 40 days,
As to the report that all the roads will
combine their interests and put in one
bridge to be used by al, Mr. Van Vleck
said: '
"We are going to rebuild our bridge.
Of course, if they want to help, that
will bo acceptable, but" no proposition for
a joint bridge. When our bridge Is com
pleted, however, all the roads can use
it to enter Galveston."
He said that work on the Southern Pa
cific wharves at Galveston would bo resumed.'

Forcinjr Havana to Be Clean.
HAVANA, Sept. 13. A sanitary .order
went Into force yesterday, directing and
authorizing continuous police inspection
of all buildings In Havana, especially res
idences, for the purpose of sanitation.
While the streets of the city are clean It
often happens that private houses and
the gardens attached are far from that
condition, ovvlng to tho accumulation of
garbage. The new order Is intended to
cure this evil.
The Municipal Council has appointed
a committee to study the Havana charter
and to suggest modifications, which,
after the municipality has approved them
next Friday, will be referred to Governor-General
Wood. i
The forthcoming election day," when the
delegates to the constitutional conven
tion will be chosen, will be observed as a

may be enabled promptly to receive the
great quantity of provisions which are
now on the way to the city-
"I wish to say, however,' said Mayor
"Jones, "we have made such arrangements
as will make it possible for us to fee
the needy until we can get In our sup
plies. We are relieving every case pre
sented to us. I think within a, day1 or
two. our transportation facilities will be

Galveston has helped other cities in their

CITY MAY BE MOVED.
Railroad Companies Want a Safer
Site.
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.
DALLAS, Tex., Sept 13. The cry still
comes from Galveston for disinfectants.
It is the one hope of saving what is left
of thepopulation. Telegrams are pourinsj
into Dallas and every other Texa3 city
asking for lime, carbolic acid and any
thing else that will operate to purify the
air.
A new horror is confronting Galveston
the second disposition of many of the
dead1. Bodies thrown into the sea are
floating back to the city. They must now
be disposed of by burning. Disinfectants
become more needful as a consequence of
this new feature In the situation.
Not a Relative Left.
LA JUNTA, Colo., Sept. 13. C. J. Sea
