DAKOT.A,S NARROW ESCAPE.
Gov Pierce Tells How Cattle Quarantine
Was Prevented

Gov. Pierce Tells How Cattle Quarantine
Was Prevented.
MINNEAPOLIs, Oct. 16.-Gov. Gilbert A.
Pierce, of Dakota, was found at the West
this morning. Everything seems to be
quiet in the territory at present." said he.
"The cattle question is one Of great import
ance to the territory, as we have just mar
rowly escaped a quarantine from Montana
on the west and Minnesota on the east, all
on account OF herd of 13O head of cattle
afflicted with pleuro-pneumonia out in
Oliver county, about forty miles from Man
dan. This would have been terrible blow
to Dakota and l have had much difficulty
in averting it, and the only way that we
could get the governors to desist from issu-
ing guarantees was by killing the entire
herd of 150 head of cattle and burying them
with lime. The cattle increase this year
was very large indeed and will I think
more than make up the shortage in crops,
which certainly exists this year, particular
ly in North Dakota haven 'tanvestigated
the matter closely enough to give any fig

statement of the condition of affairs in the

carefully compiled statistics, principally
comparisons between this and former years.

PROBABLY LOST.

New Brunswick,
Signals for Help Near Digby, N. s.,
and is Supposed to Have
Gone Down.
wild With Suspense.

DIGBY, N. s.. Oct. 15.-Yesterday after
noon the steamer New Brunswick, of the
International line, plying between here and
Boston, left for the latter place at about A
o'clock, with over 100 passengers, freight,
etc. To-day the light house keeper here
reported that the steamer, when nearly
twelve miles off Trout cove, slowed up and
remained nearly stationary until after dark
A little after dark rockets were seen as
cending from the steamer, and then fire
burst out from the place where the steamer
was supposed to be. Two captains of fish
ing vessels saw the steamer and corrobo-
rate this report Of the light house keeper.
It is thought by some that the steamers
boilers may have burst, because if she had
taken fire her boats could have reached the
shore long before now, as the bay was
calm. Evidently something has happened
to the steamer, as all agree that before dark
she remained in the same place for hours.
Many persons having friends on board are
almost wild with suspense.

Mayor Ames, Of Minneapolis, Calls
Upon the Striking Switch

no Work and Insists that Differences
in Dispute Must Be Settled .4#
by Arbitration.
A Remarkable Document.

4 M1NNEAPoL1s, Mimi, Oct. 17.--At one
o'clock this Sunday morning Mayor
Ames returned from Shakopee, where he
last night made speech in his campaign
for governor on the democratic ticket. He
at once issued a somewhat remarkable
proclamation in which, after reciting the
damages to commercial interests of the
city produced by the. strike Of the switch
men and the fact that both the political
parties of the state had in their platforms
pronounced in favor of arbitration Of labor
troubles, he says: "Now, therefore, by vir-
tue of the power vested iii me as mayor of
the city of Minneapolis. hereby call upon
all the parties to such differences to at once
agree and to appoint a fixed number of ar
bitrators, and that until the said differences
be by them adjusted, the former relations
be resumed by the parties, so that the pub
lie interest no longer suffers. I further
earnestly request that no provocation be
given by any one, that no act of violence or
expression Of ill will be made by anyone
in the hope that harmony be restored.'

Asking for Aid.

AZ GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. 18.-A CORES
pondent who has just returned from Sabine
Pass, telegraphs from Orange that the
turkey buzzards are soaring over Sabine for
miles around on land and water. It is one
vast charnel house. The town is swept
out Of existence. What was a prosperous
village when last Tuesday dawned is now
the center Of wreck and desolation. There
are 127 persons missing and supposed to be
dead. Only about twenty Five bodies have
thus far been recovered. There is not one
sound building in the town of Sabine. The
residences of Mr.. Gilliland and Editor Nc
Clavaton are the only ones that can be re-
paired. One house containing fourteen
colOredi persons was seen to go down with
a crash and every one of them was lost.
Incidents are related of husbands lashing
wives and children to floating wrecks and
then seeing them killed by heavy
logs being driven against them. The
mated by the value of the town, for
e ALL IS LOST.
A young woman in a perfectly nude state
was found roaming around on the prairie
yesterday, five miles from Sabine. She was
demented and could not tell her name.
When the government TUG boat Penrose
reached Sabine yesterday, Columbus Mar
tee was found rowing around the Delta
looking for the bodies of his family. He
said: "Myself, wife and three children
were clinging to floating roof, which was
gradually breaking to pieces. One of the
dear ones went and then another. I was
hOldng the youngest, and soon my wife
said, 'Good-bye, husband; I am going.' l

porting her broke Off and she sank. held
on to the youngest child (Pearl) some time
longer. The child, addressing me, said,

and saw no more of her." Late reports
from Johnson's Bayou bring the terrible in

known to be lost in that settlement and it
is greatly feared that the list will be eswelled
to hundred or more, thus making a total
OF victims by the hurricane, fully 2OO The
deStltutiOn of the survivors, of whom there
are over 1000 around Johnson's and Rad
ford village, is described as something aw-
full. They lost everything and are without
food, drink and clothing.

GALVESTON, Oct 16.-Nothing has so
profoundly affected the citizens Of this
place for many years as the receipt of the
particulars of the terrible disaster at Sabine
Pass and Johnson's Bayou A relief COM
mittee collected $4,000 to-day and large
quantities of clothing, food and household
necessities. The schooner Adelia was
loaded with supplies for the sufferers.

The Strikers Quiet.

" MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. 18-The switchmen
are still out to-day but trains are moving
on some of the roads and active prepara-
tions are making for starting cars on all
the lines. Special officers are being sworn
in and the Northern Pacific and Manitoba
are arming their police with rifles. The
switchmen are quiet though firm and the
railroads show no signs of yielding. The
chief of police promises ample protection.
The militia have been ordered to hold
themselves in readiness to act against the
strikers if violence is attempted. At the
Milwaukee yards the strike so far as NOV
ing freight is concerned has been practi-
cally ended. The usual number of switch
engines are doing duty, but in each cab
ride two special policemen. .,
The Northern Pacific moved some of its
trains this morning. Each car carries
Northern Pacific employe armed with
rifle and no interference has been expe-
rienced. One freight train was sent north
heavily guarded. In the Manitoba yard
the strikers killed the engine Of a train Of
wheat for the Pittsbury mills about noon.
The sense of the switchmen at their meet
ing this afternoon is that they would stand
mitted to arbitration. They claim to have
plenty of money and say they can hold
out as long as the railroads can
Mayor Ames in his second proclamation
issued says, after referring to the failure to
arbitrate, II now declare that irrespective
of all said variances said traffic must be
resumed. further command that all per-
sons abstain from acts of violence or inter-
ference with the lawful movements of
trains, and warn all persons that anyone
found so committing acts of violence to
persons Or property or interfering with the
railroad traffic will be promptly arrested
and dealt with according to law" The
Evening Journal has an interview with
Mayor Ames, in which he says: II issued
my second proclamation in order to ALA v
the fears of the public and to demonstrate
to any friends that propose at all hazards
to preserve good order, protect property
and enforce the laws. severely .censure
the republican politicians, who, taking adj
vantage of the difficulties incident to this
strike, have resorted to the courts, and to
public officers who are known to be bitterly
opposed to my political candidacy for the
unWarranted steps they have taken in this
matter. l feel that I am able with the
magnifcently disciplined police force at
my command to preserve order under any
and all circumstances, and when find that
am not able to do this will then request
the aid of the governor of the state. pro-
pose further to give up my political can
yass in order that l may carry out my
sworn duties toward the people OF this
