Id, GALVESTON RISES FROM HER RUINS (Continued from pan one.) else, we still have life and the future, and It Is toward the future that we must devote the energies of our lives. We can never forget what we hnvc t.uf fired: we cannot forget the thoutmmW of our friend! and loved ones who found In the angry billows that destroyed, that final resting Pl;iee. But tears and crlef must not make us forget our pres ent duties. "The ruin which has desolated Gal veston Is not beyond repair: we must not think for a moment that Galveston I to be abandoned because of one ills after, however horrible that olanster h.ls been. We have our homes here, even If those honin nre In ruins, and It we loved lulveston before how much ttrvnger must that affection be and how muih more sacred it must be when we think of our loved ones whose dust consecrates not only the land but the very waves which larh Its short. "It is a time for courage of the hlgh fst order. It Is a time when men and women show the stuff that Is In them, and we can mike no loftier acknowl edgement of the material sympathy which the world ts extending to us than to answer bacR thnt after we shall furled our dead, ro.leved the storings of the sick and destitute, J we wl" bravely undertake the vast w?rk of restoration and recuperation I hlpn w Mor 1" manner which smul convince the world that we have spirit to overcime misfortune and re huild our home. In this way we shall prove ourselves worthy of the bound less tentlernes which la 1 Inst showered upon us In the hour of desolation nnd sorrow." HOUSTON. Tex.. Sept. 13. Mrs. John j J. Moody, a member of the commltt-v sent mm Houiton to take charge of the relief statl n at Texas City, reports as follows: ' "Ts the May.ir: On arriving pt I.a Marque this morning I was Informed that the largest number of bodies was along the const of Texas City, fifty- six were burled yesterday and today within l.ss than two miles, extending opposite this place and toward Vir ginia Point. It Is yet six miles further to Virginia City, and the bodies ar thlrker where we are now than where they have been burled. A citizen In specting In the opposite direction re ports dead bodies thick for twenty 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 af fairs. Those who have anything left are giving It to others, and yet there ts real suffering. I have given away o hungry children, nearly ail th br?ad i brought or our own use. "A number of helpless women and beggared children were landed here from Galveston and had no p:ace to go and not a bite to eat. Tomorrow omers are expectea from we same place, Every tn feet along the wreck' lined ciast tells of the acts f vandal ism: not a trunk, valise or tool chest has escaped riflings.

Sept. 13. -General Manager Van Vleck. of the Southern' Pacific, has returned from a trip to Gal veston to examine Into the damage done to the wharves of his company being built there. He says the damage Is fully eighty per cent. The Southern Pacific! he says. Is carrying men and material to Virginia Point as fast as possible and expects to begin work on the bridge within two (lavs. It is thought trains will be run Into Galveston within forty days. As to the report that all roads will combine thlr interests and put one bridge to be used by all, Mr. Van Vbi k said: "We are going to rebuild our bridge. Of course If they want to help that will be acceptable, but no proposition for a Joint bridge. When our bridge Is completed., however, all the roads can use It to enter Galveston." He said that work on the Southern Pacific wharves along Galveston would be resumed. 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 Hat sandy isl and which has twice been denuded by wind and water. It was rumored that the Southern Pacific Company will head a movement to bull! the city on a spot forty miles to the southwest of its pres ent location, at the mouth of the Bra zos River. But representatives of the railway fcvstem which connected Galveston wlih ! the outside wcrll before the occurrence of the present disntr say her reMdmts will rebuild on the same rand island In snltp of the terrib'e experiences. They believe Galveston Is not Injured finan cially, though her citizens have been, and will be rebuilt by her citlzecs with ou' the aid of oiitsid" capital. Charles II. Twee, chairman, and D. O. Mills of the Southern Pacific board of directors, both said last nUht that the directors had not discussed the question of rebutld'ng Galveston. "The railroads," said Mr. Tweed, "will of onur have to. replace their own property. But I do not think they will cooperate In any movement to replace the to4n. The residents of Galveston diuliuid ', Lhii...'uU liti iiiat purpose- .,' , , "Galveston Is of course in dire need of immediate relief Just now. There are many persons who have so suffer- ed as t be keenly In want of flnanvUU assistance, but Galveston Is wealthy town.'oneof the wealthiest In the south and when It comes to a question of re placing the city I bvllev that the rv sources cf her own clt liens will be found qolte adeqmtte. "The town, in my opinion, will not be reconstructed nt th mouth of the tirnsos River. It U not an easy matter to, nwv n city." "The land at WIkm'O l somewhat hkher than that at 1nlv,sln," said President Itmi-wi, of the Missouri, Kan sas & Texas. "It I presumably u saf er lointlon, but It Is lmmHltile to say what t.waMtv will he chosen for re building or In fact anything about re building of the town until we get some more definite news of Just what dam age has been done, "In conslderlm; the question of a re moval of a sit-' It should Ik- borne In wind thnt Galveston has spent more than $l,0Ofl.ocp) In building Jetties to Im prove Its harbor. It la quite true that hlsh.'r ant better land exists at the mouth of the Rraxos, but It Is not llkelv that the residents of Galveston will w.nnt to turn to u new harbor after the great expenditure which has been made for their own." Assistant Secretary Henson, of the International A Great Northern Hull v.iv. said that he thought the residents of Galveston would endeavor to re claim their losses on their own terri tory ratW than turn to a nvw site. "Hut I believe." he added, "that the disaster will prove a black eye to ih gulf towns In that neighborhood." HOUSTON. Tex.. Sept. 13.-R. F. Cameron, a lumber dealer of Stowrll. Chambers county, says that the relief party wh.i went from Stowell to lloll var reported to him that tin-re were one thousand deud buileg on the Wneh at Bolivar.
