The Oovernineut Must Aid the Native ot Alaska. Washington, Sept. 7. Captain Tut tie, of the revenue service, in charge of the cutter Bear, reporta to the treasury department form Nome, August 2, on the operations of bis vessel ince July 0. Tbe report relates principally to the condition of the native along the Alaskan coast and the adjacent isl and. At Sinrock the surgeon of the vessel, who wa sent ashore, reported that measles were epidemic, and that pneumonia wa prevalent and fatal At Teller Station, where the govern ment ha a reindeer station, much sick ues and muny death among the na tives was reported. At Cape York the tame fatal sickness was lonnd among the natives. Going on to Cape Prince of Wales, practically the same desper ate condition waa found to exist as at other places. From that point the Hear proceeded to East Cape Village, Siberia, and thence to St. Lawrence bay and Port Clarence. Everywhere tbe vessel touched officers were sent ashore to investigate the condition, and reported that tbe native never bad been in a worse condition. At Teller Station affair were desper ate. Fully one-balf of tbe natives around the station bave died. In aome cases whole families bave disappeared, and in others the parent have died, leaving helpless children. Tbe salmon are running, but there are not sufficient number of well people to catch tbem and thu provide food for tbe present and the coming winter. The ravages of the disease have been so great that a panlo has seized the native, and the dead are left uu buried in their bouses, In their d 1st res the natives in tbe vicinity of Teller are collecting there for food and medical attention. Rev, T. T. Bevig, although not a physician, has set up a few tents aud ia running a temporary hospital, having 12 tick and 12 orphan children under bis care, furnishing them with food as best be can. He is said to be in great need ot pilot bread, flour and clothing tor tbe natives in extreme distress. There is said to be no record during the last 60 years of the degree of destitution that now prevails upon tbe whole Behring sea coast. Captain Tuttle concludes hit report as follows: . "At a conference with Governor Brady, of Alaska, and J. . Evans, special agent ot the treasury, Dr. Shel don Jackson and myself, in reference to the deplorable condition of the na tive north of Unalaska, tt waa de clared that relief must be afforded them or they would perish from cold and starvation during the coming win ter. I offered to fill the Bear with whatever could be procured to distri bute north of Cape Prince of Wale. Special Agent Evan at once ordered a load, which waa put on board. teamed to Unalaska to get aome Stores to be put on board." Captain Tuttle aays he is going to make another trip north to distribute tbe few things that were received and to attend to the government business tie report mat the natives are thoroughly demoralized through their condition and fright and superstition, Tbia is tbe first time they have not se cured their winter supply of food. Captain Tuttle says he believes thai it it were not for tbe little relief be is taking to them on his present trip, there would not be 10 per cent of them alive next June. STOCKMAN HEADS IT.

COAST STRKVYN WITH VESSELS Four Thou.and Building Wrecked la Oalr.aton. and 3,000 People Lose Their Lire. Houston, Texas, Sept. 11. The West (ndian storm, which reached the gulf xat yesterday morning, ha wrought twful havoc in Texas. Report are conflicting, hut it is known that an ap palling disaster has befallen tbe city of Galveston, where it is reported, a thousand or more lives have been blot ted out and a tremendous property damage iniflcted. Meager reports from Sabine Pass and Port Arthur alto indicate a heavy loss of life, but the reporta cannot be confirmed at this bour. The first news to reach this city from tbe stricken city of Galveston was re ceived tonight. James C. Tiramins. of Houston, superintendent ot tbe Na tional Compress Company, arrived here at 8 o'clock from Galveston. After remaining through tbe hurricane on Saturday be departed from Galveston on a schooner and came across tbe bay to Morgan's point. "where be caught a train for Houston. Tbe hurricane, Mr. Timmins laid, wai the worst ever known. The estimates mada by citizens of Galveston wa? that 4,000 bouses, most of them residences, have been de stroyed, and that at least 1.G00 people have been drowned, killed or are miss ing. Some business bouses were also destroyed, but most of tbem stood, though badly damaged. , Tbe city, Mr. Timmins avers, is a complete wreck, to far as be could see from the water front and from the Tre mout hotel. Water was blown over the island by the. hurricane, the wind blowing at tbe rate of 80 miles an bour, straight from the gulf, and fore ing tne sea be tore it In big waves. Tbe gale was a steady one, tbe heart of it striking the city about 5 o'clock yesterday evening and continuing with out intermission until midnight last nigbt, when it abated somewhat, al though it continued to blow all night. In tbe bay tbe carcasses ot nearly 300 horse and mules were aeen, but no human body was visible. Tbe scenes during tbe storm, Mr. Timmins said, could not be described. Women and children were crowded into the Tremont hotel, where he was seeking shelter, and all night these unfortunates were bemoaning their loss of kindred and fortune. They were grouped about the stairway and In tbe galleries and rooms of tbe hotel. What waa occurring in other parts ot the city he could only conjecture. Provisions win be badly needed, aa a great majority of the people lost all tney nad. I be waterworks power bouse waa wrecked and a water famine is threatened, as the cisterns were all mined by the overflow of salt water, This, Mr. Timmins regarda as tbe most serious trouble to be faced now. Tbe city is in darkness, the electric plaut having been ruined. Kitendcd loo Mllea Inland. Houston, Texas, Sept. 11. The itorm that raged along the coast of Texaa last nigbt was tbe most disas trous that haa ever visited this section, Tbe wires are down, and there is no way of (lading ont just what baa hap pened, but enough is known to make it certain that there has been great loss ot life and destruction of property all along the coast and for 100 miles in land. Every town that is reached re porta one or more dead, and the prop erty damage is so great there is no way of computing it accurately. The small town ot Brookshire, on tbe Missouri, Kansas & Texas, was almost wiped out by the storm. The crew of a work train brought iu this informa tion. When the train left there, the bodies of four persons had been reoov ered. aud the search for others was pro ceeding. Ilempstaed, across the country from Brookshire, was also greatly damaged. Sabiue Pass has not been heard from today. Yesterday morning the last news was recevied from there, and at that time the water waa surrounding the oh) town at the pass and tbe wind waa rising and the wavea coming high. From the new town, which is some distance back, it waa reported that tbe water bad reached the depot and was running through the streets. Tbe peo ple were leaving for tbe high country known at tbe back ridge, and it ia be lieved that a'l escaped. ' Three bodies have been brought in from Seabrooke, on Galveston bay, and 17 persona are missing. Ulatresa la Labrador. St. Johns, N. F., Sept. 10. Reporta from Northern Labrador reveal, the ex istence of great distres among the shore meu, owiug to tba ice remaining ou the coast so long.

Whether the earthquake disturb ances which were felt on Lynn canal and at tbe bead of the Yukon river had any connection with similar disturb ances at Lituya bay is a mere conject ure, but according to information brought out by the steamer Bertha, a vast amount of damage was done at tha latter place. Five indiani are known to have been killed. Tbe news was brought from Lituya bay to Yakutat by Indians in canoes. Tbe disturbances there occurred on August 11, one day after the earth quake thockt above referred to. They, apparently proceeded from the district in which Mount St. Eliai and Mount Fairweatlier are situated. On August 11 two heavy shocks were felt, accord ing to the Indians. Tbe second sho k created great havoc, as well as destroy ing five lives., Tbe Indian informants told person at Yakutat that five of the immense glacier which head into Lituay bay weree dislodged by the disturbance and were sent crashing into the bay, partly filling it with great mountains of ice. Tbe five Indiana are reported to bave been killed on a imall island situated out about a mile from tbe face ol ouq of the glacier. They were in a cave and were drowned by the great rush of water which swept over ,the island when the ice rivers crashed down into the bay. Chief George, jne of the beet-known characters in tbe north,' was one of the drowned Indians. It is said that the cave cache in which they were caught was bis personal prop erty. No definite new concerning tbe strike on Dornix creek, at the head of the Copper river, had been brought out to Valdes, outside of what was already known when the steamer Bertha left. The government trail, under the direc tion of Captain Abercrombie, had ap proached within 70 miles of the strike, or a distance of 170 miles from Valdes, and work was being pushed with all speed, so as to connect the district by trail with Valdes for tbe coming win ter. Unless this (hall be aconiplished it will be almost impossible to trans port supplies to tbe sCene of tbe gold discovery through the winter months. RANGE WAR IN COLORADO.
