BXKJSTON, Tex., Sept. 24.-A bulletin xrom Austin says: It is rumored here at a late hour to night that the town of Marble Falls has been washed away by the Colorado River" and that there is a 50-fbot rise at Kings land. Efforts to reach Marble Falls are without avail. It is a small town of 800 people, 25 miles above Austin, on the Colorado River, and Is the terminus of a branch of the Austin & Northwestern road. The dispatcher says that at 9 o'clock all offices on his line were closed, and he has heard nothing of any de luge.

DALLAS, Tex., Sept 24. The Trinity River is higher tonight than It has been since 1890, when It broke all records. The water tonight lacks only six feet of reach ing the 1300 mark and Is still rising. Ow ing to heavy rains last night and ves terday on the Elm Fork the West Fork ana tne Clear Fork, all of them empty ing Into the Trinity above Dallas, the prospect Is favorable for the stream go ing past the 1890 mark some time to night No lives have been lost in the immediate vicinity of Dallas, but cotton and livestock, notably sheep and hogs, have suffered heavily. The County Com missioners of Dallas County estimate the loss of county bridges at 525,000, Inde pendent of numerous small bridges, and the streets damaged in the County of Dallas, which will be nearly as much.

Corre spondents at all points In Northern Texas report this loss as heavy. The reports from West Texas are meager as to damage done by the Nueees River.

As It Stands It Represents Total of 3850 Names. GALVESTON, Sept. 24. The newest list of deaths from the storm represents a total of 3S59 names. The indications are that not more than 2000 will be actually accounted for. The News has made a diligent effort to get as complete a. list of the dead as possible. t is reasonable to assume that 800 or 1000 people were lost whose names are not obtainable, which would make the total list on Galveston Island about 5000. The News is of the opinion that the death list on the island Is slightly below rather than above 5000. This statement Is made, notwithstanding the fact that there are close observers at Galveston who are still estimating the death list on the Island as high as 7000. - Nearly 10,000 men went to work today clearing the .beach front of debris and dead bodies.

In 1899 it was $4,608,096,005. The average amount in each hank account increased from 5520 In 1894 to the average of $602 In 1899.

When this place was named,Mark IJan nawas a director in the Pacific Coal Company, whose mines are lere. Gov ernor Koosevelt reminded' his hearers of the times four and six years ago when It was difficult for miners to get work and asked them to compare those times with the present, when all were' em ployed and all obtaining good wages, and asked If they wanted to change back again to the hard times -from which they had emerged with so much difficulty. Laramie was reached at about 3:30 o'clock today, and here two speeches were made to nermit all who wished to see and hear Governor Booseyelt speak. The day meeting aroused a good deal of in terest Governor Roosevelt said in Part: "I do not appeal tQ you primarily as Republicans. I appeal to you as Ameri cans. I appeal to you as. citizens with whom the welfare of .the Nation is great er than any other con&ldgr'atlbn; to stand above 'anything (that is' merely -'partisan: There are two 'interests in this campaign. One Is the lnteresfof our-material 'well- being,-"the interest of the material pros perity of this country. The other Is the even more important side, 'the I question of .National greatness, a question of the Nation doing 'Its duty as -a nation. "Here' ih'thisr state and this city, whoso name commemorated the old pioneer days of struggle and of risk and hardship, it surely Is unnecessary for me to oall your attention as to how this Nation be came the great 'Nation that it now Is, and how It has moved forward, onward and. upward. If throughout our history we had had to deal with timid souls who feared danger and who feared to risk, who feared to go forward when the Na tion went forward, you would not have been here. We began to expand within three years after the second Continental Congress sat in Liberty Hall and declared ourselves free and independent. In 1803 occurred the greatest bit of expansion In our history, Vnder the administration of Thomas Jefferson' "we acquired what wa? then called the Louisiana" Purchase, which extended from the Gulf of Mexlcp to thf Rocky Mountains. Thomas JeffersCn "wa the author of the Governmental' doctrine, but did not try to push to so ridiculous and fantastic a conclusion his theory aa to, get the consent of the dwellers In that region before the American people could take It It was right emphatically" that we should deal justly with those we found in the land, but it would have been folly and weakness for this Nation to have halted in Its onward growth because 'pf some scruples as to our right to introduce the spirit of civilization In these waste places of the earth. Afterwards, we ac quired from Mexico what Is now Cali fornia and New Mexico Wo alsu ac quire Alftsjip., The acquisition of 1I this territory was opposed by men who Used the same arguments In that day that are uspd by our opponents now." Preparatlpns on quite an extensive scale .Were made for the reception of Governor Roosevelt and his narty at . this place tonight The special train arrived at 0:45. Excursion trains from various parts of the state brought In quite a number of visitors. Two evening meetings were ar ranged for, one at Turner Hall and the other at the opera-house. Both nlacei were crowded. Expansion, militarism and Imperialism were the points touched on by the Governor' in his remarks tonight. In reference to Mr. Bryan's remarks in a recent speech about the menaoe to the pepple of 100.00) troops walking about In idleness, he saldj ''Lawtop no longer walks about In idle ness; Llscum and Rellly no longer walk about in idleness, Was it Idleness when Chaffee, at the command of PresIdent'Mcr KlnJey. took his troops forward, refusing to wait longer for the other allied forces Who said they could not advance until they wore shamed Into advancing by his forward movement? Was It idleness when the bov Titus sprang on to the walls surrounding an immoral despotism With the' flag that was to bring' security an4 liberty to the women and children starving and waiting In that dreadful barrier surrounding the legations? Was It idleness? The gallant efforts of our men in the Philippines and the death pf so many of them, it seams to me, might at least spare them the slight and sneer of any pf our own people." A Pertinent Comment, Sir Thomas "Llptep in bis latest Inter view declares, hip determination to make another attempt to carry off the Amer ica's cup". "Speaking ' of the races last year, he says: "The best boat won on its merits." He further says that he intends calling the new yacht "Sham rock,' and that the two Shamrocks will have trial races.

Well-informed men.rWbd know what Is going on behind the scenes"; assert that "Lc(d' Salisbury -when forced to admit that the logic of the situation requires a' new head for the 'War Office since mil itary "VeorganlaeUioh is heralded as the first- work of the next Parliament, will transfer Lord Lansdowne'to the Foreign Office, This result has beert predicted by leading members of the diplomatic service who have reasoned from, the In timacy of the two ' statesmen that Lord Salisbury will be likely to choose Lord Lansdowne as his successor In the For eign Office. This transfer would leave Mr. Balfour leader of the Commons where th.a old Tories are not ready to take orders from Mr. Chamberlain. The succession to the War Office Is generally conceded to Mr. Chamberlain on the ground that he Is the only mlnl3-. tor with sufficient force of character and administrative ability for carrying out thorough and far-reaching reforms in the military system. The reformers, how ever, are over-zealous when they assume that the emergency required the services of Mr. Chamber)aln at, the. War Office. Lord , Roberts as Commander-in-Chief, and Lord Kitchener, as, Adjutant-General of the British Army, must be In a bad way If the. concentration. of so much,vtal- ent Is Indispensable. One of the freshest rumors In the air points to another field of activity for Mr. Chamberlain. This s the report that Sir Mjchael Hicks-Beach, as well as Mr. Goschen, Is weary of office and bent upon retiring from the Cabinet. If this rumor be well-founded Mr. Chamberlain may hecome Chancellor of the Exchequer and leave Sir Alfred Mllner to work outrtho settlement of South Africa. This solu tion would delight military men. who know that Mr. Chamberlain cannot be controlled from AJdershot and possibly it would tend to promote a "reconciliation of the -whole race In South Africa, where the Dutch are bitterly prejudiced against him. If Mr. Chamberlain does not take the War Office, George Wyndham may succeed Lord Lansdowne. He has earned promotion by his debating skill 'and Is the 'most promising among the younser men on the conservative side. The retirement of Viscount Cross, the Duke of Devonshire, and Lord James is also strongly hinted at from many sources of Information. Lord Salisbury unless al signs fall, will be forced to re construct his Cabinet after the elections. His superannuated colleagues have not learned" the secret of perennial youth, nor has he himself found it in his chem ical laboratory at Hatfield. He Is de scribed by those who have recently seen him, as more cummunicatlve than ever, as harassed and wearied with public life, apd as hard to part from his colleagues, or do anything but brood In silence about perplexities and Chinese complication.

A Constant Source of Amusement to European Traveleri. - - Century. In the larger cities of Japan many shopkeepers have applied to a sign-painter who has" acquired that dangerous thing, a little knowledge of English, without drinking deep at the Pierian spring, for a "shingle" that shall ex press to the world In 'Western characters the nature of their business. The assur ance of tbse slgnpalntars Is not matched by their familiarity with English spell ing, construction, moods, and tenses; and the result Is often amusing In the ex treme. For Instance, one Is amazed to see in Toklo a sign that boldly -announces A Tailor "Cut to Order. Another one Informs us Paotoyrnplier Executed Here. A hatter In Kobe announces that he sells ' General Sort Straw Hnt. and another informs the public that he is a v v " Denier XewnndstllBhstrnTrhnt' . "Will .Make to Order. Sonje of the .signs 'really seem to sug gest needed English words, like Hatchery and Proviiions.1 Why not "butchery"? Another tells us that he deals in 1 " Soft Good. He does not mean "soft drinks." either, but soft woolen goods. A baker tells us that he keeps a Bnketry. Another sign which I daily passed for nearly a week told the world that within dwelt The Inventor of Kobe,' though what ha Invented, or when, or why, deponent salth not. A merchant in Osaka has hung out his shingle with superfluous articles, as follows: Patent the Charcoal Patent the t, - Pocket -Stove. The conjunctions are almost as difficult for the average sign-painter to master. Consequently - he- sometimes tells tho worlU of a t IIouhc Ship and Painter, or that within there Is for sale ' Shottlngan Po-ivder And. 't A glance at the rifles." shotguns and powder-horns within" makes the sign plain. Another tells us that Bjrcicle to Lend, Sel, And are within. It is not strange that single letters-should get out of place,' as in Rcstanrand, Slcnla at -wVH llonnc, Cljrnraiirt anil Clfforctted, . and the like. But it does seem as if a wag with a keen sense of humor had been at -work when we read, as we do In a prominent street of Osaka: Er Man Wah. Put the last syllable first, and you will catch the thought,- A wag, too, must have prepared the label for a dealer In borax, who, afer extolling the purity and value of his preparation, put In large letters at the bottom: Beware Our Trademark.
