Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEx, Oct. lg.--Subscr,p-
lions in Galveston toward the relief OF the
sufferers by the great storm along Sabine
Pass coast now aggregate $4,000, includ-
ing the $500 voted last evening by the
city council This is larger sum than
any city in the United States has thus Mar
subscribed, not excepting New Orleans,
which city holds much closer relations
toward the great majority Of
the sufferers than Galveston. Thp
Galveston relief committee, which conn
prises some of her best known and most
enterprising citizens, this evening issued
the following appeal
"To the charltably disposed people Of
the United States, and especially to those
OF Louisiana and Texas: We, the under
signed committee organized for the relief
of sufferers by the recent disastrous over
flow of portions Of the gulf coast of
Louisiana and Texas, most Of us having
visited the scenes of disasters since
their occurrence, make this appeal
in behalf Of those who were by that ca
lamity ut once bereft OF homes and
means Of replacing them, Though Beau
mont and Orange, followed by Galveston,
Houston and other cities have already
done much to relieve immediate distress,
and although $4,000 TO $4,000 from va
rious sources have already been de-
voted to that purpose more, much
more is still required TO be Of such
benefit as the gravity of the situation de-
mands and should be bestowed. The ma.

calamites In this, while much greater
iuapcial losses were incurred IN such
public misfortunes rs the great
Ares at Chicago, Boston and Portland
and the more recent catastronhes ut
Charleston and Galveston, and the num-
bers effected Ia the cases cited were from
Ave to one hundred fold greater than In
this instance, there were In the places
named good neighbprs who could and did
relieve immediate distress, while In this
deplorable visitation 30 per cent OF the
inhabitants If the inundated district are
rendered homeless, penniless aud broken
in spirit, The very soil on which they
lived and from which they gained susten-
ance is no longer habitRble. What has
thus far been done will afford but tenn
porary relief. The question now is, how
are these people to subslst heroaiter2
With woeful domestic bereayements in
well-nigh every family, with many of
these good people beyond the age
when new start in life can be
made and a loss Of homes, deprived of
means and displrited by their trouble and
misfortunes, what will become OF these
people unless the large-hearted charity Of
our country responds with rrilling
hearts ana open hands2 Let all
such as can and will help
these homeless unfortunates and join
In the work OF relief by
forwarding such contributions as they
may wish to render to the treasurer OF
this committee, or TO the mayor OF either
of the cities of Beaumont or Orange,
through any of which channels such aid
will be properly and prudently distribu-
ted. Signed, M. LAsKER, Chairman.
