PROGRB5TOX)RSER AT GALVESTON Relief "tfcaitgeeB du -OperRtloxi City Mnst Bc'Clecned and Dtslnfeete Short Work; of Looters. .GALTESTOlf, Tew Sept 35. This was a dreary Sunday in Galveston. Services were held in the few churches made fit for use since the great storm. All day men and boys were at work clearing1 away the debris. Only a few dead were found during the day, and they were quickly bvirned, no attempt being made to iden tify them. The military authorities and the civil authorities are now co-operating hart monlously, and consequently there is less looting and desecration of corpses. Sher iff Thomas is in charge of the isolated district, and is directing interment and the recovery of property there. United States Marshal Grant nas been given f ull authority by Adjutant-General Scurry, And is directing affairs on the mainland, aided by a troop of rangers, who are ordered to make short work of looters and to arrest all suspicious characters The rangers and the militia and civil guards stationed at Texas City and "Vir ginia. Point are under the direction of Marshal Grant. These are the two points of Ingress into the city. He also has con trol over all the railways running into this city and all craft plying between "Virginia Point and Texas City, and no one can embark or disembark at these places without his permission unless hav ing authority to do so from bis superior officers. The destitute -wishing to go to friends in the country are given free transporta tion, and are being sent out of the city as, rapidly as the limited transportation facilities will permit. The owner of any water craft or railway found guilty of charging more than the regulation fee will be arrested and severely dealt "with. The cleaning up and disinfecting" of ntreets, stores and buildings Is being dil igently carried on, the sanitary condition . cf the down-town portion of the city having greatly Improved. Mayor Jones stated today that there would be no abatement in the work until the entire city ig cleaned and disinfected. Dry-goods stores and clothing .houses "resemble the laundries, every available space being occupied with goods hung lip to dry. Fortunately, the weather is dear, hot and dry for this purpose. . Since all the railways terminating here Jiave united upon one bridge and are pushing the work night and day with a large force reconstructing it, while the tracks are being restored on the isl and and mainland by large forces, it is confidently asserted that Galveston will have communication by rallroad'by Wed nesday next If this shall be done it will relieve the existing situation wonderfully, aB all supplies are now being brought in by boat. Tho injured and sick under the thor dug system established by the Board of Health and local physicians are receiv ing every care and attention, and doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances, which are being improved 5aj!y. All the churches in the cltyhavlng been either wrecked or ruined, with one or two exceptions, divine service was sus pended. Tomorrow a census -of the Catholic pop ulation will begin to ascertain tho 'num t bor pt widows and orphan caused by the storm and the exact number of Catholics that perlshod. The grand lodge oommittees of I O. 0. JR. were "here today- and organlzfed local relief committees to look after and core ior'th"a sick and destitute of-that order,, for whom' appeal has been sent o the lodges of the Union for relief. The keeper of the life-saving station at the westorn extremity of the island got in today. Hareports the station grave, and that a frightful scene of -des-- olatton exists there. He says that ISO bodies were buried there: that tho prairie and marshes are strewn with the car casses of animals and reptiles, and that the stench is terrible. Now that th -water workg are running, eorne of the streets lighted, many others "nearly cleared of debris, and telegraphic communication with the outside world re established, the people of Galveston are anxiously looking forward to the re-establishment of railroad communication. They will not have to wait long, for the Work of relaying the tracks and rebuild ing a bridge across the bay is being pushed with great energy. The officials in charge of the work believe that they "Win be able to run trains into Galveston Union depot on Thursday. The work thus far done has been remarkable, and has been accomplished, under the greatest difficulties. Track has been, laid along a right of way which has been swept by the storm and -washed into ravines along a line bestrewn -with dad bodies of men and animals. The men worked under a blazing sun in jnud and in surroundings sickening to the senses, and at first with out an adequate supply of food. The greatest difficulties in the way of securing Oatterial for the work, or, rather, in get ting the matter to the places where it Is Ieeded, have been encountered. Not withstanding these difficulties the work has gone on day and night, and the struc ture that is to bring Galveston in real touch with the outside world is being gradually pushed forward toward the stricken city, which is so rapidly and mar Telously recuperating. The Santa. Fe sys tem has contracted nearly all Its bridge and track-building on the island, and is working to the restoration of communica tion. State Health Officer Blunt left here, to day for Austin, where he will make a re port to the Governor concerning con ditions In Galveston. It Is said that his statement will estimate the mortality at $000. Mr. Blunt was in Galveston sev eral days, and made a thorough investiga tion of the destruction of the storm. Miss Clara Barton, of the Bed Cross So ciety, arrived at Texas Cty tonight with a hospital corps and supplies. She will reach Galveston tomorrow morning. False Reports of Money Received. HOUSTON, .Tex., Sept. 16. The follow ing note was sent to the Associated press correspondent today at the request of Governor Sayers: "Reports sent out from this place, by "whomsoever sent, that 5800,000 or ?900,00t lias already been paid in are absolutely false, and made without authority, and calculated to do great harm to the needy Bufferdrs along our coast. No such sum of money has been received or anything approaching it. It is believed that these Qtorles nave done great harm, in that they have prevented the contribution of money which is- so sorely needed at Galveston." THE SICK AND THE DEAD. Marcus Daly Improving.

A British signal officer reports a sharp engagement between a company of the Fourteenth United States Infan try and 2000 Boxens at Matow, on the road to Pekln. The Americans mado.a gallant stand, and a detachment of Bengal Ia.no ers nearby, hearing the firing, came to their rescue and 'charged the Boxers In the rear. The Chinese were routed, leav lng 200 dead. The Americans had no cas ualties. The Germans report an engagement with a heavy force of Boxers west of Pekin yesterday (Thursday). The Ger man loss is said to have been '& Indications now point strongly to the withdrawal .of. all the powers from Pekln to Tien Tsln. The British have issued an order prohibiting the selling or rent ing of any building within the limits of the British concession. General Fuku shlma is here arranging "Winter quarters for the Japanese troops. The Germans are pouring, into Tien Tsln, and all na tionalities arq scrambling for buddings. One British battery and 200 Australians have arrived. Ruftsians Push. Into Manchuria. TIEN TSIN, Sept. IS, via Shanghai, Sept 15. The Russians, It Is rumored here, are rapidly pushing through into Man churia, where all indications point to- ex tensive operations before the arrival of. Winter. They nave suspended work on the railroad to Pekln, which adds to the complications. It Is believed that their object in this is to compel" the other powers to consent to the destruction of Pekln. The Tu I4u expedition has returned to Tien Tcln. Tho march back was unop posed, and it is reported that the Boxens have retired in force to a village "$ miles up the Grand Canal. The Americans did not participate in the burning and looting of Tu Liu, and this caused; considerable comment among tho other commanders. The Sixth United States Cavalry, it la rumored here, has been ordered Iq camp at Tang Tsun, up .th,e Pel Ho, with a view of strengthening the line of commu nication. The regiment will take tvro heavy guns. Twelve thousand Germans have arrived here.

ROCKHILL OK WAT TO PBKIN, Should Reach Tlicre a Early as LI Hung: Chang: Little Nctts. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Speelal" Com missioner Rockhlll, who was sent to China by President McKlnley to make a special report on matters Incident "to 'the existing complications in that country, is now on his way 'to Pekln. Mr. Rock hlll has been at 'Shanghai for "some days pursuing- his line of Inquiry in that sec tion of, the empire, but according to a dispatch received at the Navy Depart-' ment today from Admiral Barney, the' Commissioner left that placo for" Taku and Pekln yejrterdfty. if he g6ea direct ,to Pekin he should reach there about4 the ?ame time as Li Hung Chang, who also has Just left Shanghai for the Capi tal city. Aside from this dispatch from the Admiral, there was no news of con sequence from the representatives of the Government in China. Mr. Adea, the Act ing fcecretary of State, was at the de partment for some time during the day, but tonight said he had nothing to make public Condolences from several gov ernments expressing their regret over the Galveston disaster were received, but these were not given out pending the President's reply to them. Nothing came from General Chaffee dur ing the day. and tho situation regarding; the question of the withdrawal of the troops from Pekin, it was stated, was un changed. When LI Hung Chang reaches Tien Tsln he will assume the Viceroyship of the great Province of Chi Llr thence he will proceed to Pekln. Whether In his new office as Viceroy and with tho additional powers he may have as a peace plenipo tentiary, he will be able to meet the de mands of the foreign governments for the complete restoration of order, the preservation of peace and the protection of foreigners, is not known. It is understood that up to this time there has not been any serious considera tion by this Government of the personnel of ary commissioners that may be ap pointed to secure a peaceful and stable government. Several names have been mentioned, but this is aB far as the mat ter has progressed. Nothing official has reached this Gov ernment of the rejection of Tung Lu as a peace negotiator with LI Hung Chang and Prince Chlng. It would not be surprising, however, If this were trUe, as the officials believe Germany or any 6ther government would be Justified in refusing to treat with a person who has been regarded, in part at least, as responsible for much of the , harm. that has been done. The Paris dispatch announcing tho dis cussion of the possibility of a conferenco in some other country than China for the purpose of settling- terms of 'peace ' caused some discussion in diplomatic and other circles. Such a suggestion hag not been made to this Government, however, and nothing is known of It here. KRUGER GOING TO EUROPE. Portugal Authorizes His Departure On German Steamer.

MANCHESTER, Sept. 16. The Man chester Textile Mercury estimates that the minimum average of stoppage for the mills will be eight weeks, although the period may be longer and that the losses,' including the wages of 500,000 workers, will be", 25,000,030. These losses are attrib uted to the failure of nature to supply sufllcienl raw material. The English man ufacturer' is totally dependent upon a cir cumscribed area of foreign supply, and those who provide this supply are now straining every nerve tp consume 'the pro duction at hom, thus becoming formid able competitors of England. ' "These competitors,.') says the Mercury, "are the most .formidable who could pos sibly enter the markets of the world against us. The remedy for the future Is- the cultivation of cotton' within the realm of Great Britain. 7 "At the arae time a month's suspen sion o buying' wilt partially restrict the scramble for. the' remnants of "tfieT last crop, only .purchasable li extremely high prices, to come out 'of "the pockets or the manufacturers, and which could never be extortod from the merchants of tle dis tributing side qf the, traded . f , BERLIN BOURSE PESSIMISTIC. .Rise 'in Price of CoHonr8nrprised toe , German Mannf ncturers.

It seems equally certain that a number' of operatots5 will make an effort to run their" collieries even though tfteyxnay" be short-handed, but whether they will be successful can be determined only'- when the breaker whistles sound the' call to work. The op- J erators generally will have their eolller iesln pondltion to "begin operations, and the whistles will blow as usual, but a largo number ot the employers admit that there is little hop of being able to start. Today was one ot quiet throughout the entire coal district. The mlneworkers Were orderly, and their leaders, were busy addressing meetings to encourage the members, of the union and to frln over .such nonunion men as they, could. Many Qf these "latter, although not favoring, a strike, will, -it is the general opinion, re main away. from the mines rather than bear the criticism and reproach of their fellow-workmen.

There is not a line of anything used by man for transporta tion, comfort or luxury In any branch of manufacture which Is lacking. Its educational value 'Is practically Illimita ble. I fall to understand upon what are based the adverse criticisms Indulged In, jiot'only by .visitors ignojant ot exposl tlons, but. by intelligent and prominent citizen. I am afraid many of these have not observed carefully or at length, "i am proud to say that Americans took '2003 awards 'or one-third of the entire number awardedl The "Americans at the 'exposition w'ere the most lavish enter tainers' of any nation, and of the Amer icans 'the most enthusiastic hosts were the Cailfomians.
