RIOT ON THE
 MALLORY DOCKS White Man Killed by Gang of Negro longshoremen. LABOR TROUBLES THE CAUSE Mayor Fay Warned the Crowd to Keep Back, and When the Men Ad- vanced Gave the Order
 
 to Fire.
LABOR TROUBLES THE CAUSE

Galveston, Tex, August 31.-A riot oc- cured on the Mallory dock this afternoon. The Mallory line had been paying 30 and 40 cents for day and night work respective ly. Recently the colored 'longshoremen or ganized a colored labor union. When the steamer Colorado arrived yesterday the Mallory people were informed that they must employ union laborers and pay 50 and GO cents per hour for day and night work. The present Mallory wages are the same as have been paid for years and more than the company pays at some other places. The increase was refused
 Yesterday 1,5Oo colored men congregated at the wharf and by moral suasion kept the regular Mallory 'longshoremen from going to work. Today the Mallory company set an extra crew to work unloading the ship and brought some colored laborers from Houston. The bloodshed occurred when an effort was made to put the Houston men to work Mayor Fly warned the crowd to keep back and when an advance was made on the Houston negroes, Mayor Fly fired five shots into the crowd, wounding two of the negroes who were advancing A little later the rioters made another advance. They were warned back. Then Mayor Fly gave the order to fire. There was a terri ble fusilade from each side for a minute, some of the negroes having revolvers. Af- ter the fusilade the crowd scattered.
 The fire department was called out to aid in the protection of the wharf property. An armed posse of citizens was organized. The Houston men were put to work and the Mallory boat is discharging. One white man was killed and at least six men were injured. The names of the dead and wound ed follows:
 The dead: D. H. Baker, white, shot in right side

SICK SOLDIERS
Must Not Be Retained in Tents or Regi-
 mental Hospitals.

Camp Poland, Knoxville, Tenn, August 31.-General Mckee today issued an order positively forbidding the practice of re- taining sick soldiers in their own tents or in the regimental hospitals. They must be transferred to the division hospitals. He calls especial attention to the fact that pa- tients whose temperature is above the nor nal for more than twenty-four hours must be attended by the best surgeons at the division hospital. The order further pro- vides that all refuse from the company kitchens must be burned, buried or carted away, thereby preventing fever and other disease germs entering into the camps. The local camp is healthful one and Gen. eral Mckee is taking every possible step to keep it in excellent condition No sick ness has developed since the division came here, save that which was contracted at Chickamauga. Twelve of the fever pa- tients who were brought from Chicka- mauga were liberated from the division hospital today. The surgeons in charge state that within six weeks every sick man brought here will have been released from the hospital. The improvement of the sick is marvellous and still more remarkable to the soldiers is the fact that no sick rolls are being made out daily as was the case at Chickamauga.
 Colonel J. l.. Rodgers, private secretary to Governor Bushnell, of Ohio, was the dis tngulshed visitor in Camp Poland today. He was the guest of the two Ohio regi- ments encamped here.

SEVENTH CORPS
 REVIEWED BY LEE Probably the GrandeSt Military Pageant Ever Witnessed in the South. OVATION TOCOLONEL BRYAN First and Second Alabama Were CheeFed
 by the Crowd. COLONEL E. L. HIGD0N'S RETURN Will Reopen Rupture Between Him and Other Officers With More h.

 Be Made to Dust Him.
oLoNEL E. L. HIGDoN's RETURN
BY sEWEL HAGGARD.

Jacksonville, Fla, August 31.-(Special)- Probably the grandest military pageant ever witnessed south of Mason and Dixon's line was witnessed here this afternoon, when thirty thousand volunteer troops passed in review before General Lee. Sol- the bronzed lads of the southland and each as one band would fill the air with Dixie, only to be followed by another arousing the enthusiasm of the watching multitude by the strains of Yankee Doodle. The regiment to receive the greatest ova- tion was that led by Colonel William Jen- nings Bryan, and composed of the hardy sons of Nebraska. Colonel Bryan rode a spirited black steed and looked every inch the soldier as well as statesman. When he came in sight of the reviewing stand mighty cheer arose from a thousand throats. General Lee and staff entered into the applause, which did not cease until long after the regiment passed. The First Ala bama was in command of Lieutenant Colo
 
 band. Both the Second and First were cheered by the crowd and made splendid representation of the souths leading manu- featuring and agricultural state.
 Colonel Higdon is expected to reach here Saturday. It is understood that he will leave Birmingham Friday afternoon. Con siderable comment has been created by the news of his coming and 1t Is likely that the old rupture between he and the officers will be renewed with more intense bitterness. It is said that in the effort to oust him charges of incompetency will be preferred and board appointed to investi- gate. It is evident that the officers are very much surprised at Colonel Higdons contemplated return. They thought that when he left on furlough he would re- sign in preference to again assuming com mand. It is fact apparent to every one that the privates will rejoice at the Colo ners return, and will give him a rousing welcome.

RAPIDLY MOVING
 THE VOLUNTEERS Being Sent From Camp Wikoff
 as Fast as Possible. HOSPITAL GETTING SMALLER Three Hundred Sick Transferred to the Shinnecock to Be Carried to New York-The Allegheny Unfit

HOSPITAL GETTING SMALLER

New York, August 31.-There is no change in the programme of the government as to getting all the volunteers out of Camp Wikoff just as fast as they can be sent away. Tomorrow the Thirty-thrd Michi- gan will depart, and the Thirly-fourth Michigan will leave Friday. Those too sick to go on the troop trains or hospital trains will be furoughed home just as rapidly as their condition will warrant. Both the Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth Michigan go home on sixty days furlough and will be mustered out sixty days hence
 The general hospital is getting smaller rapidly now, and despite the fact that there are new arrivals every hour, the number is decreasing. Three hundred sick were taken out of the hospital and. transferred to the Shinnecock, which is now division hos pital under command of Surgeon Major Borden. The Shinnecock sailed for New York, where the sick will be transferred to hospitals.
 The Red Cross yacht Red Cross took if teen more away this afternoon to New London.
 As one explanation of the many deaths on the Allegheny, 1t Is said that the Ninth Massachusetts took along more of it's sick than any other and that the men who really ought to have been left behind were taken on the ship, as they and their com rades preferred they should risk the voyage home rather than to remain for what seems to have been consideed certain death in the hospitals about Santiago
 Many of those who died during the voyage had to be carried on board. The trip was a slow one.
 The Allegheny was a cattle transpor., to- tally united for the work cut out for her. Her condition must have been bal before the troops were put on her, and according to pr. Magruder they were frightful before they arrived here.
 The Panther brought 10S men, of whom iif- teen were sick. The men on the Panther were in fairly good condition. While the room was limited there was no oycrcrowd- ing

FUNERAL SERVICES
Over Remains of Ex-Governor Claude
 Matthews of Indiana.

Clinton, Ind, August 31.-The burial of ex-Governor Claude Matthews occurred this afternoon in the Clinton cemetery. During the morning hours special trains arrived from Indianapolis and Terre Haute bring ing sorrow from the many friends and the same was true of the regular trains which brought sympathizers from every quarter of the state. In order to accommodate the concourse, chairs were secured from the opera house and taken to the Hazel Bluff farm, where the services proper were held.
 The funeral sermon was preached in the beautiful grove adjoining the Matthews mansion. The services were opened with song, Jesus, Lover of My Soul" after which came prayer by the Rev. Dr. Sou- ders. Then came another song, after which Dr. Souders, in voice freighted with deep feeling, delivered sermon. His theme was suggested by the Biblical thought, found in Samuel How Are the Mighty Fallen.'
 Through a committee composed of Gov ernor Mount and other state officers, me- morial in tribute to ex-Governor Matthews has been adopted.

HEAVY DAMAGE TO SHIPPING

Savannah, Ga., August 31.-While there was no loss of life from last nights storm, which swept Savannah the damage to property will foot up close to half million dollars.
 The storm began early Tuesday night and ragged with increasing violence until o'clock this morning. It was at it's height between and 5 o'clock. when the wind reached a velocity of eighty miles an hour. When daylight came the streets were impossible.
 Probably 100 buildings were totally or par- tially unroofed and many more were other wise damaged. The roof was torn from half of the Savannah theater. and the aud- itorium of the building was transformed into lake.
 The First Baptist church is among the most heavily damaged buildings. The en- tire western half of the roof was lifted from the walls and carried into the street below. The handsome organ was Mie9 with water and the rich frescoing was ruined. St. Johns Episcopal, the First and Independent Presbyterian and Lutheran Church of the Ascension were also dam aged
 Stores Unroofed
 In the business part of the city dozens of stores were 'unroofed and windows were blown in and the interior flooded. There was no telegraphic communication until late tonight. Street car travel is suspend en and tonight the city is in darkness. The streets are a net work of tangled wires.
 In the harbor and at quarantine at Ty- bee the damage to shipping is heavy. The Italian bark Maria Raffo broke from her anchorage and drifted into the marsh, where she is now lying. The Norwegian bark Noe went ashore on Daufuskie island at the mouth of the Savannah river. She is a total wreck. Between fifteen and twen- ty launches in the river and at the Sa- vannah yacht club anchorage, the Thun- derbolt and many more smaller coasting vessels doing coasting trade, with the is- land, were sunk or lost. The steamers AL pha and Doretta went ashore and are heavily damaged. The steamer Eualia sank at Wilmington island, but her crew escaped.
 At Tybee island the hotels and cottages were badly damaged. All of the railroads suffered severely by washouts and trains have today been run with difficulty.
 The rice and cotton crops have been seri- ously damaged. It will be impossible, how ever, to estimate the losses for several days.
 The storm covered comparatively small territory. It extended in the interior not more than thirty miles, It is believed to have been severe at sea, and fears are felt for vessels off the coast.
