One of the most vindictive partisans
among the anti-Quay members of the
last legislature was Representative
James N. Moore. He participated in
all the rump meetings organized by
Finn, and was ringleader in almost
every insurgent movement on the hoor.
With him was associated Representa-
tive Dindinger. They were both elect
ed as Republicans, but they bolted the
party caucus and helped to prevent the
election of Colonel Quay, the Republi-
can caucus choice for the senatorshiD.

CITIES CONTRIBUTE
FUNDS FOR RELIEF
Widespread Steps Are Taken to
Alleviate Distress.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Governor Say
ers of Texas has applied to the war
department for 10000 tents and so, 900
ratiOns for immediate use for the suf-
ferers from Saturdays storm. Acting
Secretary NGiekeljohn issued an order
granting the request.
The tents will be sent from San An
tonic and Jefferson Barracks, Mo.
1t is expected that the large. portion
of the rations can be procured at San
Antonio. If not they will be sent from
Kansas City.
The officers of the national govern
ment have taken steps to render all
possible aid and assistance to the flood
sufferers of Texas. The president to-
day sent kilograms of sympathy to the
governor of the state and TO the mayor
of Galveston and promised 10 render
all possible relief.
Adjutant General Corbin also tele-
graphed instructions to General McKiD-
bin, commanding the department of
Texas at San Antonio, to proceed to
Galveston and investigate the character
and extent of the damage caused by
the hurricane and TO report to the sec
rotary of war what steps are necessary
to alleviate the sufferings of the people
and improve the situation.
In view of the reported difficulties in
reaching Galveston owing to the con-
dition of railways, it is expected that
General McKibbin will scarcely be able
to report to the war department upon
the distress inside of twenty-four
hours, unless he avails himself of re-
ports coming to hand.
