OF citizens who left here Saturday night on
the tngboat Estelia, which had schooner
in tow, carrying 81 900 worth Of provis:
ions for the sufferers at Sabine Pass and

early on Sunday morning, and found about
100 persons still living there, reluctant to
leave the site of their former homes. They
are occupying the few houses that with:
stood the storm. One-half OF the food and
clothing taken up by the committee has
been distributed among the sufferers, who
were in great need. The remainder were
eent up to johnson Bayou by the barge
Tcpsy, as the tide and channel would not
permit of the Estella going up the river
The committee were unanimous in thei1
statements regarding the absolute destitu
ton of the survivors. They say they
never saw such suffering for the common
necessaries of life as exists at Sabine Pass
and johnson Bayou. The cQmmittee as
| certained that the total number OF persons
who lost their lives WAS 1OS, and OF thes.
Ga were colored and 3S whites. Only 6t
bodies thus far have been recovered ant
buried. Searching parties continue to hmm
for bodies of missing friends.

relative to procedure against emigrants re-
turning from America liable to military
service in Saxony, and claim to have been
naturalized in the United States. Ii there

burned too freely to be checked by the
small fire apparatus. Assistance has been
asked from Sheffield and Wilmington, Della
ware, but at q late hour tonight it looks
as though the entire village would be
burned. It is impossible to enumerate
properly the losses at this hour, but a
rough guess places it at over 81, 900, 900.
Stores, with their contents, were licked up
by the flames, and the streets tonight are

its progress. No lives have been lost.

They Make q aDemonstratfon-The Prob
able Arrest and Indictment.
CHICAGO, October 49, The disgruntled
socialists displayed their feelings over the
awful sentences pronounced against their
comrades on Saturday for the first time
last night, when a number of them at
tempted the life of Gottfried Waller, a for
mer enthusiastic champion OF the cause OF
anarchy, but who turned states evidence.
and on the late trial gave testimony detri-
mental to Neebe and his seven still more
luckless companions. Many threats had
been made against Waller, but no acts of
open violence had been attempted before.
Last night Waller, accompanied by
friend, entered a saloon and restaurant
under the hotel at 1O5 North Wells Street,
a favorite gathering place OF the Swiss ele-
ment of the labor faction. Some one
said: -. ss.There's the traitor" Waller en-
deavored to leave the room, but the crowd
followed him with cries OF ''hang the dog"
"choke him, !" skill him." Some one siezed
him by the throat, but Waller shook the
man off, and, drawing a revolver, shot sew
eral times into the crowd. For a moment
they fell back, but soon came up again and
attempted to hang him. Again Waller
freed himself and fired into the mass OF
people. By this time he was nearly to Chi
cago avenue and ran for Captaia Schaack's
station. Captain Schaak placed Waller in
a cell safely and sent squad OF men to
disperse the crowd and capture the leaders,
it possible. No arrests have been reported.
Meetings
TO DENOUNCE THE VERDICT
we're held in several parts of the city last
night. The most notable one was at Jef-
ferson, a suburb, where a justice OF the
peace named Englehord said this law was
all wrong. and that he wished it under
stood he did not represent such law. One
Pressleman made violent harangue, i'll
| which hs urged his hearers to organize,
| not for the coming election, but as aveng-
ers in case our brothers are execut 3D." His
remarks made the audience uneasy, and
they were looking for the police more than
at the speaker.
| Forty arrests were to-day made OF per-
sons who mobbed the Anarchist informer r,
Waller, yesterday. They were held with
out bail. The family of Major Cole, one o.
the anarchist jurors, hos been badly
frightened lately by anarchist roughs, ard
Thursday night, an Cole was returning
from the theatre, be was seized by ruffiant
who placed a pistol to his head, but, hear
ing steps approaching, they turned and
fled. The city council tonight declined tt
pay the exorbitant bills of the physician
who attended the victims OF the Hay
market outrage.

The United States Supreme Court Tackles
Land Grant Case.
WASHINGTON, October 1S.-The Supreme
Court of the United States assembled at
noon to-day, and without rendering de-
cisions took up the land grant case of the
Kansas City, Lawrence & Southern Kan
sas Railroad Company against B. H.
Brewster, Attorney General, brought here
by appeal from the United States Circuit
Court for the District OF Kansas, and ad-
vanced on the docket by reason OF its i'm
portance. In the questions at issue Judge
McCreary, counsel for the appellant. asked
the court for an extension OF time, which
was granted, and Mr.. A. F. Britton, also
counsel for the appellant, opened the argu-
nent.
By the bill OF complaint in his case, the
United States claims as against the de-.
fendant's (appellants in courtl titles OF
"a, ,733 acres OF land situated in Allen
County, Kansas. These lands are all IN
odd sections overlapping twenty miles in
the limits of the grant made by the act OF
Congress of March 3, 1883, and July 26,
Eaee6, thu. .1tate Of Kansas to aid in
the construction of railroads along cefra1u
defined routes on which the defendant, q
company, by it's former name OF Leaven-
worth, Lawrenceburg & Galveston Com
pany, and Missouri, Kansas & Texas Kali,
way Company, constructed their several
roads. These two roads have widely sep
arated the initial point, viz: Lawrence ana
Junction City at or near Fort Riley. put
they come together down the valley OF the
Neosho River and cross each Othar at the
town of Chanute near the lands IN contro'
versy.
These lands are now claimed by the Rail
road Company and persons deriving 'tlt'e
through that company, and by settlers
under the homestead laws OF the Unlted
States on the other. The United States
Circuit Court, where the case was tried
held,
First; That the group OF 1868 ano
1866 were wholly distinct,
Second; That the Neosho o Valley road
had not been constructed under the grant
of 1863, and hence the lega! title asserted
Hereunder must fell. >,
Third; That the construction by Ine
Missouri, Kansas Il Texas Company undei
the grant of 1865 and the section OF Iandt
| in suit by that company under the gram
did not give an equitable title, because tne
lands thus selected had never been 1ndl
Gated by the Secretary Of the Interior az
the act required.
These conclusions were assigned Tor errol
in this court by counsel for appellants II
argument Mr.. Britton was followed by Mr
Lawrence, for the appellant, and John r
Dillon, for the appellant.
