AN APPEAL TO THE MAYORS
One Hundred Thousand People Are
Without Homes and Food-The Un-
fortunates Will Perish If Not
quickly Assisted.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE war de-
partment to-day took prompt measures
for the relief of the hurricane sufferers
in Porto Rico. When the press dis
patches and General Davis advices
made known the extent of the disaster
steps were Immediately taken to send
supplies. and the transport Mcpherson
was ordered put in readiness to sail
from New York on Monday next She
will carry grains and other necessaries
The secretary of war this afternoon
sent the following appeal to the may
ors of cities of more than $50, 900 people:
"Sir-The governor-general of Porto
Rico confirms the report that upon the
Sth instant hurricane swept over that
island, entirely demolshing many of
the towns, destroying many lives and
reducing, so near as he can estimate
not less than 100000 Of the inhabitants
to the condition of absolute destitution
without homes and food
Unless immediate and effective re-
lief is given to these unfortunates thew
will perish. Under these conditions,
the president deems that an appeal
should be made to the humanity of the
American people.
also, for the inha bitants of Porto Rico
have freely and gladly submitted them
selves to the guardianship of the Uni
ted States and have voluntarily surren-
dered the protection of Spain, to which
they were formerly entitled. confidently
relying upon more generous and bene-
ticent treatment al our hands. The
highest considerations of honor and
good faith unite with the promptings
of humanity to require from the nj
ted States a generous response to the
demand of Porto Rico in distress.
This department has directed the
immediate distribution of rationS to the
sufferers by the army of Porto Rico SO
far as it is within the power of the eX-
ecutive but in the absence of any ap-
preparation we must depend largely up
on private contribution.
Il beg you to caIl upon the public
spirited and humane people of your city
to take active and immediate measures
in this eXigency. The government
transport Mcpherson will be sent di-
rectly from the port of New York to
Porto Rico on Monday, the 14th inst.
to carry all supplies of food which can
be obtained. Further transports will
be sent at future dates of which public
notice will be given.
ANY committee charged with the
raising of funds will receive full infor-
nation and advice upon communicating
with this department. Very respectfully,
"ELIHU ROOT.
Secretary of War"
report has been received a the war
department from an officer at San
Juan, Porto Rico, estimating that the
number of killed amounts to 500. The

tion of affairs exists in Ponce.

case because it had not been presented
in the usual manner, no transcript hav-
ing been filed. Counsel for Nixon made
motion to set aside the order dismiss

ed, claiming that a proper showing
could be made that Nixon had been de-
prived of his rights through misrep-
resentation as to the app2a being per-
feCted. The court granite d until today
to make such show ing. The transcript
was accordingly filed along with some
afidav!ts.

fccted and the transcript transmitted

served with a notice Of a motion 10
dismiss the appeal He was ignorant
of a rule of the supreme court requ.r
ing answer in 10 days to a motion 10

very much surprised to read in the pa
pers that the case had been dismissed.

believed the appeal had been perfected.

sumed his case was being attended TO

ILLEGAL BILLS.
A Grain Dealer Makes Charges Arainst
the Railroads.

the Railroads.
Chicago, Aug. 11-Edward Richards,
grain dealer and shipper. resumed
his testimony before the sub-commit-
tee of the industrial commission to-day.
The witness reiterated his charges that
bills of lading issued by railroad COM
panies for shipment of grain are il
legal and supported his charges by re-
ferring to blank bill of lading secured
from the freight office of trunk line in
this city and by quoting the statutes
of Illinois relating to the duties of pub
lie carriers and the weighing and in
spection of grain This testimony was
admitted to the records and will be in
cluded in the report of the industrial
commission to congress. Mr.. Richards
made the specific charge that railroads
made out their bills of lading in such
an ambiguous manner that they are
not held responsible for losses in the
shipment of grain after it leaves the
hands of the consignee. This Mr.. Rich
ards stated was in direct violation of
the law.
John McNulta, who testified before
the sub -commiee in Washington on the
workings of the whiskey trust, ap-
peared before the subcommittee to-day
and discussed the rate situation and
the attitude of the Canadian Pacific
railroad toward the interstate COM
merce regulations of this country. He
sharply criticised the methods of the
Canadian road and said the interstate
commerce commission should receive
authority to compel all competing lines
of the country to adhere to fixed rates,
which should also apply to water rates.
Senator Kyle stated that the inquiry
into that phase of the rate situation
would be taken up when the sub-com-
mittee returned from the north and
General McNulta was requested to ap-
pear before the committee at that time
and present the testimony.

NO FOUNDATION.
Mcdonald, the K1ondike Mining King, Is
Not n Bankrupt.

Seattle. Wash. Aug. lin the alb
sence of confirmatory adVices, no Gre
dence is given here to the report that
Alexander Mcdonald, the Klondike
mining king, is an insolvent SO far as
can be ascertained the story of Nc
Donald's failure is based on the mere
statement of Thomas Kilkenny a re-
turning klondiker, to the effect that
just before he left Dawson a friend of
his had told him that Mcdonald had
filed a notice of insolvency at the court
house.
A number of reputable Klondikers
who left Dawson subsequent TO the
date on which Mcdonald is reported to
have filed his notice of insolvency say
they heard nothing of it and believe
the story has no foundation.
