GULF COAST TOWNS SUFFER.
Galveston, Port Arthur and Sabine
Among Them.
HELP NEEEED FROM ABROAD.

Houston, Tex, Sept. Thames C.
Timmins, who resides here, was the
first to reach here from Galveston He
was in Galveston through the hurri-
cane, and then crossed to the mainland
schooner and caught the train to
Houston
The estimates made by citizens of
Galveston was that 1000 houses, most
OF them residences, have been de-
stroyed and that at least 1 900 people
have been drowned, killed or are miss
ing
Some business houses were also de-
stroyed. but most of them stood though
badly damaged
Water was blown over Galveston ISL
and by the hurricane, the wind being
at the rate of 80 miles an hour, straight
from the gulf 1t was reported that
the orphans asylum and both the hos
pitfalls were destroyed The water was
three feet deep in the rotunda of the
fremont hotel and six feet deep on
Market street.
The roofs were blown from all the
elevators and the freight sheds along
the wharves. Many wrecked vessels
lie along the shore.
Provisions will be needed as a great
majority lost all they had. The water
city is without fresh water and is in
darkness. The east portion of the
city, which is the residence district, is
practically wiped out.
Between Houston and Galveston the
town of Alvin is destroyed, Hitchcock
suffered severely and at Alta Iona not
a house is standing.
Santa Fe train from Houston was
wrecked north of Alvin by the wind,
with one killed and several injured.
BrooI1shire, on the NJ. X. & T., is de-
stroyed.
There was great damage done in
Houston, but only one person is report
ed killed. Oil mills, car wheel works
and all churches damaged or destroyed.
The residences present a dilapidated
appearance.
The gulf towns are isolated as all
wire service is interrupted, even the
cable lines between Galveston and
Tampico, Mexico, are severed.
The storm moved northward and in
land towns are reported to have suf-
fered- All the railroads stopped issuing
tickets accepting freight for the
south. All efforts to reach Sabine
Pass and Port Arthur have failed.
A Santa Fe train which was last
heard from at small station 40 miles
north of Galveston, was heard from no
more at dispatchers' offices All re
pair and relief trains started toward
Galveston were forced to turn back
until the fury of the gale should sub

WIDENING TRADE IN WEST.
improved Export Demand for Amer
lean Products, Notably Wheat.
BETTERiNDUsTRIAL OUTLOOK.

New York. Sept 1o--Bradstreet's
says: Trade Developments for the
week have been mainly favorable, and
the Improvement in general distribu-
tive business in the latter part of Au-
gust has gathered force in the first
week of September Leading features
have been the widening fall trade re
ported at all points west south and
on the Pacific coast, some improve
ment in the jobbing demand at the
east. with southern buying a marked
feature: rather better reports from the
two great staple crops of the west and
south. wheat and cotton. improved eN-
port demand for American products,
notably wheat, iron and steel, and cot
ton. and unvarying good returns by
the transportation Industries of the
country
Bank c1earings, though broken by
holidays in the first week in Septem Der,
is larger than the total for the prece-
ding week.
The industrial outlook has been i'm
proved by settlement of the tin plate
scale, the general resumption of opera
tions in the glass industry, the pre-
dicted satisfactory settlement of the
remaining iron and steel wage scales,
and the posi- bility that recent large
sales of print cloths will avert a resort
to wage reductions in the New England
cotton industry. The anthracite coal
trade outlook, however, is clouded by
the prediction that 40, OCO men will
strike this week.
The iron and steel trade continued
positively cheerful in tone, and a large
business has been and is now being
booked. No important gains in prices
are reported. Demand is expanding
however-1O, 900 tons of southern pig
being shipped this week, and orders
for twice much are reported booked
Iron production showed a further
heavy decline in August but stocks
again increased.
Wheat, including flour, shipments
aggregate 1878, 100 bushels, against
3,4as,3 73 last week, 4,353, 9o6 in the
corresponding week of 1 500. Corn ex-
ports for the week aggregate 3,162, 291
bushels, against 3,717, 400 last week, A.,

ports are 30, 317, SOL, against 21,4.6, a43

PREPARING TO WITHDRAW.
Orders sont to Prepare to Remove Troops
From China.


From China
Washington, Sept. 11.-Orders have
been cabIed to General Chaffee to pre-
pare his forces for withdrawal from
Pelxin. Further than that, the
department has taken steps to have at
Taku a sufficient number of United
States transports to remove these
troops to the Philippines as soon as
they reach the port
The orders are preparatory and do
not necessarily indicate that our gov
ernment has decided finally upon
immediate withdrawal from China
Our government has not changed its
policy in this matter of withdrawing
troops. 1t has given the subject much
consideration since the original note
was written, but at all times there
has been kept steadily in mind the
proPriety of removing the American
troops from China as soon this could
be done consistently. 1t is intimated
that the prospect for securing these
objects through completely harmoni-
Gus action by the powers is brighten
ing every day
1t is hoped that the powers can be
brought to act in harmony in the mat
ter of the evacuation of Pelxin, and it
is entirely possible, if this plan is exc
cuted, that all of the American troops,
save small number left to guard the
legation at Pel;n, can be withdrawn
from China before winter sets in 1t
will not be necessary to delay the ne
gotiations until the evacuation is COM
Pleted- Even now our government, for
one, is in position to begin them in
stantly upon the appearance of
proper accredited representative of the
Chinese
There is the best reason to believe
that were the Chinese government
once assured of the personal safety of
its members; We're it relieved of fear
of ACKNOWLEDGMENT, of China and the
menace of a large foreign force in the
capital. the imperial court including
the emperor and empress dowager,
would lose no time in returning to
Pel<in and opening negotiations for
settlement.

chinese kenorts OF Yictories.

Washington, Sept S--The American
contingent in the parade through the
imperial palace was small, prOba bly, in
conformity with arrangement be-
tween the various commanders in
Pekin that the force selected to make
the demonstration should be limited in
numbers, in order to reduce the
chances of 1ooting. 1t is supposed
here that this demonstration was made
to impress the Chinese people a
whole, and not from any present mill

kind appears to have been necessary
in order to offset the stories which
were afioat in the southern Chinese
ports to the effect that the allies had
been completely overthrown by the
