DALLAS, Tex.. Aug. 19. With com
munications resumed, it is isdicated
that the hurricane which swept this
section yesterday and last night
caused damage amounting to millions
of dollars to crops, railroads and ship
ping. The only loss of life is the crew of
the steamer Pilot Boy, which was
wrecked yesterday.
It is believed that the storm sub
sided fifty miles northeast of Eagle
Pass.
No report has been received today
from Corpus Christ!, where it is be
lieved the damage was worst No
loss of life has been 'reported from
Brownsville, where' 30,000 militiamen
were camped.
Tents of the militiamen were blown
down and the men forced to move.
The hurricane caused ruin from the
Gulf of Mexico to a point 100 miles up
the Rio Grande.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 19. "This
tountiy cannot afford to have a pi As
perity dependent on war abroad," said
Charles E. Hughes, republican candi
date for President, in discussing the
tariff before 1,000 employes of the
Union Iron Works today.
"There is no such a thing as success
of labor without success of capital,
nor can there be success of capital
without success of labor.
"Thib country musUhave contented
workingmen, treated justly, and they
must have a share in the national
prosperity."
Mr. Hughes advocated old age pen
sions and co-operation of labor and
capital.
"We have, everything nature could
give to make a prosperous nation, but
we must have the spirit of co-operation
and get-together," said Mr.
Hughes. "This is no place tor idlers.
All of us ought to join to make
America gieat."
