Sept. 13.-The foilolns editorial rpream In today' 'evs; "At the first meeting of Galveston' cltlen Sunday afternoon, after the great hurricane, for the puropso of bringing order out of chaos, the only aentlment expressed waa that Gnlv -ton had received an awful blow. The oi of llfo and property Is appalltnr so great that It required aeveral days to form anything like a correct esti mate. "With sad and aching hearts but with r(f'r.t faces, the sentiment of the m-ftlng was that cut of the awful cha os of wrecked homes and wrecked bus iness (in'veaton must ri' again. The s-i.'ltr-ent was not thai of 'bury the dad and give up the ship,' but rather bury the dead, succor the needy, appeal for aid from a charitable world, and then start resolutely ti work to mend the broken chains. In many cases the work of unbuilding must begin over, In othee cases the destruction Is only partial. No. the sentiment was Gal veston will, Galveston must survive and fulfil her elorlous destiny. Galventon must rise again. "Galveston having been Isolated since th? storm of last Saturday night, the stricken citizens of the town have not been Informed as to the thrill of hor ror which went over the world when the news of the catntitropbe was spread. The Associated Press brings the cheery new that In every town and. city In the I'nltfd St.itf foinmc-rcl.il, religious and charitable bodies have organized Into relief committees. At present thous ands of dollars and hundreds of cars of supplies are en route and will reach the sufferers of Galveston Just aa soon as It Is poeslble to boat tlum across the bay. If the desolation here has been awful, the Mipathy and humanity of great nation has been ample, and very soon the local committees will be enabled to assist the destitute thousands. "What tu News desires most to say to the surviving victims of last Satur day's catastrophe Is that. In the knawi- edge of a worldwide sympathy which Is encompassing U9, we must not give way to despair. If we have lost all (Continued on fourth page.) ..REMOVAL SALE For the next sixty days our entire stock of furniture and carpets will be closed out at less than cost. Call early and avoid the rush. LONDON. Sept. U.-No further light lb thrown this Wirnlng upon LI Hung t.nang a movement. The Times has a dUpatch from Pekln, dated September which say In part: "Itussla ha decided to withdraw her legation fr-m IVkln. leaving a Durtir military command. "Official announcement of this Is ex pected today. Oth powers will also nruniatiy wlthdwv their legations, leaving Pekln under military control of th; allies during the winter at least ' "In the fK-st Inform quarters the opinion I expressed that Russia and Germany are acting In accord. Kus ln seeking the definite annexation of all territory wei of the great wall, and Germany the annexation of Shan Tung. Klang 8u and Yangtze provinces. The dismemberment of China seems al most Inevitabl?." The Shanghai correspondent of the Tlmei. wiring Wednelay. confirms the reports of uneasy feeling there con cerning Germany's Intentions toward the Vangtse provinces. The St. Pe tersburg correspondent of the Times avs he Is In a position to assert pos itively that the Russian troops In Manchuria are preoarlng for a "winter campaign. WASH IXGTOX. Sept. 13.-The cri sis that wa near at hand yesterday over the evacuation proposal of the Russian government haa been" avertefl for a time at least, and the diplomatic side of the matter has become again the object of attention. The order to General Chaffee to leave at once; which was expected In some quarter, did not Issue today. Instead, earnest effort are making to arrange 1 preliminaries for negotiations which are I expected finally to settle the Chinese troubles. LI Hung Chang's message today re moved perhaps the last obstacle to a speedy beginning of these negotia tions, and the only doubt that now exists Is as to his ability to redeem his pledge to protect American Inter ests and step the outrages on mission aries and native converts. If he can do this and thus manifest the exist ence of a de facto government, there is no reason to doubt that negotiations will be Immediately In order. Xotice that Russian troops will not evacuate Pekln until some arrange ments have been made for the Installa tion of a government to take charge of aftulrs Is directly In line with the aim the state department has been pursuing In Its exchanges with LI Hung Chang, and If this Russian de cision Is adhered to. It certainly will facilitate the ultimate withdrawal of all foreign troops. WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Minister Wu has received a cablegram frcm Li Hung Chang answering the hope ex pressed In the American note of a few- days ago that his powers are sufficient lo protect American lives and interests In China. Karl LI says he has that power and will see that the protection Is given. CHARLES HEILBORN & SON LONDOX. Sept. 13.-The Chinese min ister here. Sir Chih Chen Lo Feng Lull, gave a representative of the As sociated Press an extended Interview on the general situation. In which he took special care to- thank the United States government for Its attitude to wards the Chinese government and the American people for what he believed would prove to be "their hearty sup port of the government's attitude." "I hope to see Lord Salisbury on Fri day." said the minister, "and I trust that England will see her way to agree to the withdrawal of her troops from Pekln. I have had no report of Lord Salisbury's policy, but I take hope from the fact that Prince Chlng has had an Interview with Sir Robert Hart. Prince Chlng was president of the Tsung LI Yamun. to which Sir Robert was at tached, and I anticipate they will be able to accomplish much towards the final acceptance of a board of arbitration. "I am especially pleased that it Is proposed to appoint a United States commission of which Mr. John W. Fos ter may be a member. Mr. Foster Is much esteemed not only by Li Hung Chang but by many Chinese officials. "I believe the United States will ren der China a great service as well as ac complish much for its own commercial future." "We ill have great faith. In Secre tary Hay, and the United State has always occupied an Important position In the eye of China. We have not for. gotten that it wa the American al mlral alone who refu-d to fire on the fort at Taku." YOKOHAMA. 8.-pt 12.-A Japanese oiric-lal at Chsong.

While the streets of the city are clean. It oftn happens that private houses and the gardens attach ed are far from that condition, owing to the accumulation of garbage.

The forthcoming election day, when the delegates to the constitutional convention will be chosen, will be ob served as a general holiday.

Sept. 13.-A dispatch to the Tribune from London says; The closing scenes of the protracted campaign in South Africa tend to Il lustrate the truth that without a neu tral base the Boers are helpless. If the British government bad allowed President Kruger to Durcha.se Deln co. Bay when he was anxious to do so he would not now have a place of refuge In the present emergency nor would his presence there be a source of uncertain ty respecting the possibility of his re turn to the Transvaal. The purchase of the neutral base ten years ago would probably have prevented the outbreak of war. "since the Boers have depended from the outset upon having the door open for their own gold to go out and for supplies to come In. and also upon having a bridge for retreat when they were In the last ditch. The news, however. 13 still .too Inde cisive to Justify premature talk about a last ditch. Buller Is pressing on after Potha over the mountains but has captured abandoned stores rather than commandoes In arms, and French Is still a long way from Kumalipoort. The official record of the operations con ducted by Generals Methuen, Barton and Hlldyard and the generals In the Free State proves that the territories occupied are swarming with guerillas and discontented Boers who are un willing to abandon the struggle. This Is one of the worst features of the situation. Res?ntments caused by the campaign are bitter and the oppo sition to British rule will have to be stamped out by strenuous and rigorous nollce work during a long period. The political effect of the reports o President Kruger's retreat from the Transvaal have been Instantaneous. The minors of the dissolution of par liament at an earlier date than pre vious reports have Indicated are al ready In the air. EXDOP.SE BRYAX. American Anti-Trust League If sues an Address. CHICAGO.
