STORY OF THE STORM Galveston Warned of Texas Tornado. the HOW THE WATERS ROSE AND RECEDED The City Filled With Destitute and Whole Fam ilies Stretched Side by Side la the Moriues. Qalvkhto.n, Tux., Sept. 11. Tho ter rific cyclone that produced such n dis tressing disaster in Galveston and all through Texas was predicted by the Wcathor Hureau Friday night and creatod much apprchousion, but tho night passod Tvlthout tho prediction be ing verified. Conditions, howovor, were ominous. In the middle watches of the night tho wind began to come in spiteful puffs, Inceaslng in volume an day dawned. lly 10 o'clock Saturday morning It was almost a gale; at noon it was tearing things up in a livololy manner. Stu pendous waves began to send (he waters far Inland, mid people began a hasty exit to K'ouro places in tho city, Rail road communication was cut off shortly alter noon, wiro facilities failed at .1 o'clock, and Galveston was Isolated from the world. The wind momentarily in creased In forte and velocity, while tho waters rapidly roso and the night drew on with dreaded apprehension depicted in the face of every one. Just before thoanemomo ter blew awn. tho wind had reached tho frigliful valrt. city of one hundred miles per hour lluildlugs tumbled and crashed, carry ing death aud des truction to hundred of people. Roofs sailed through tho air Telegraph, Teiophone, and electric light poles with u mass of wires wero snapped off liko pipe stems. Tho wator, which had reached a debth of eight feet on tho Strand at 10 p. in., began to ebb aud by G a. in. the crown of tho street was free of water. Thus paused one of most frigliful and destructive storms which has over dovastod tho coast of Texas. The city is flllod with tho destitute, while in Improvised morgues are rigid forms of hundreds of victims. Whole families are side by side. A heavy mortality list I expected among the residents down- the island and adjacent lo the count on tho main land, as both were deeply Hooded. CITY UNDER MARTIAL LAW Dam.aii, Sept. 11.

UETRAYED Miners Driven From the Deach, ty a Law Passed In the Interests of the Dl( Corporations. A great many peoplo havo wondered why, if it wero possihlo to make from two dollars to eight per day washing out gold on tlio beach, that so many aro leaving that country for thelrhomes in tho states. When the cause Is fully understood, tho action of tlieso people will not bo wondered at. While tho gold bearing panda of tho beach aro pretty well exhausted, jet that did not account for tho early retirement of the miners from that country, lor poor as the beach now is, it afforded tho thous ands who were working the only pos sible opKrtun!ty of making u dollar to got out of tho country. Well why did they loavo so early? We have asked this question of Mr, J. II. Fletcher and others who have recently returned from these gold diggings, and from thoni wo have gleaned tho Infor mation that they wero forced to leavo In consequence of tho cruel and vicious law enacted at thu Inst session of con gross aud duly signed by President McKlnloy. Last year tlio beach at Nome was free to any citizen of tho United States who wished to mine it, and the courts then hold that tlio beach could not bo Btakod by any porsnu and held ns mineral prop erly, lleforo tho rush took place at Nome last spring prospectors from all over tho United States, and from Oregon and Washington in particular, wroto to souators and congressmen requesting that In thu new bill oIhiiU to be submit- fed for legislative consideration, that tho beach bo left open to free mining ; that miners themselves be allowed to regulate this business, and that tho infamous clause which enabled peoplo in tlio states to stake this beach by powcr-of-attoruey be denied n place in thu new law. All this was promised, mid thu fullest ussur mice wub given to thoso hound for Nome that the beach would bo frou as before, and that the powcr-of-attoruey clause would not bo ru-cuncted. Well, the (too plo wore no sooner on tho ocean on the way to Nome than thu bill was brought down leaving out the powor-of-attornoy clause, but allowing thu beach to be taken up for mineral claims under thu provisions of the placer mining laws for other lands in the United States. When the bill wus presented to the president for his approval ho rofuted to sign it, unless the power-of attorney clause wus restored, as stated by the press. When this was conceded, he signed the bill Juno thu 8th, whllo most of tho miners wore yet at sea and could not know any thing of either its provisions or passage. Hut the moment It received tho presi dent's signature it was known all over the United States uud rich speculators, sitting In their cushioned chairs in New York, Chicago and other great centers of trade, Immediately took advantage of tho situation and tvinto on to their friends at Nomu to stake tlio beach by wwrMrMrnrtrArA'm'A'A'mnnmnnTinniirmvn $ Jenny Ltnd First THIS I Ih our mercantile knife. trusty and true, intended w cut lormer prices In two, invented by us and kepi In our store to i ii s ii r ii lower prices , than ever be fore.

This was qulto un known to thoso who wont out to mine tho beach as soon'os they had arrived a Nome. Tho bill lis it passed did not reach Nome until about August 1st, but by this timo it was nearly all taken up by outsiders.. Ono firm from Now York had taken up two milos of it, which was about tho sixth part of all tho gold bearing sands. Then all of a suddon the poor fellows who wore standing in tho wator all day rocking tho Bands and gravel, making n few dollars n day in order to got tlio means to carry them back to their families and homes, wore ordorod off tho beach and thus denied tlio poor prlvilcgoof earning a dollar in that way. Hut thoy paid little attention to tho ordor ut first. They could not boliovo that a congress and government which so many of them supported, and which made so many flattering p.iomtsos to them before thoy loft for thu north, could so slmmolesBly violato their prom ises and disregard tho conditions of tho tailoring peoplo. Rut thoy wero mis taken. That very thing was done, and not that alone, for tho military was omployud to execute tho demands of tho bcacU-grabbors. In n short timo they camo out on tho beach In wagons, armed with rifles, and began picking up thu poor minors, dragged them back to Nome and throw thorn into jail, thoro to await thu Bontenco of a corrupt court for violating a law thoy had no earthly means of know Ing oxisted. Such barbarism was worthy of dopotic Riuaiu In her darkest days. And yot It ema nated fiom n government W'hlch hoarta that It exists for tho peoplo and by tho peoplo. Just as soon as the Reach miners be came satisfied that tho Reach could bo legally taken for milling purposos, and that locations which wore mado last summer wero mado valid by this law, they legan to pack up for homo; thoy li terally gavo nwny Iholr provisions, tents" andoutflts to thoso who wero determined toxdiancu It and to Btay awhile longer, and those who had sulllclont money camo back to tho States whllo thoso who had not are still thoro and likely to Btarvo unless thu Government carried them homo ugain. Aud In our humble oplu'ou tho Uovcrnuiont Is In duty bound to do this, and to do It promptly. They took from them their only oppor tunity to make u dollar. They havo ruthlessly thrown litem out on the cold charity of tho world in u cheerless and liiliospllublo country, and if the leave these poor peoplo thero to perish, It will bo the most luonstroua and inhuman act ever committed ilia civilized country a damning disgrace to our representatives in congress. Now, if our peoplo wish lo know why so many aro retiring bo early from Nome, they havo tho main reason. No Bolf-rospcctiag man would caro to tnko chances ol being thrown Into prison and punished for violating the laws of his country for thu small amount ho could earn by remaining longer, and ho thoso who could havo either returned or will do so just as soon us they can obtain money to pav their passages. Wo regard this whole Nomo business as tho worst cruel and Infamous swindle over perpe trated on a confiding peoplo, and it is difficult to say which Is thu more guilty tho Moornmeiit or thu Trans)ortatioii Companies.
