THE SULTAN'S REPLY.

rcp.iec TO the American demands. staiins
that Turkey will compensate American
missionaries under the same conditions a.
IN the case of other foreign subjects
The United states Legation Joined the
other embassies IN protesting against the
Increase of import duties, The reply 20
the notification OF the Porte asserting
that the United States government ex-
poets 20 be previously consulted WIG
regard TO any changes.
The Porte has not yet replied TO the last
collective note. but the changed tone o.
the Ot;0naa officials leads TO BELIEF
that settlement has been reached IN con
fofmity with the demands OF the foreign
representative. II s now fully expect
Cd that the Porte will invite the embassies
10 discuss the proposed changes.
There IS the greatest interest In political
circles regarding the attitude OF the
United States ia their indemnity claim,
and Il Is believed that the powers having
similar claims will support American ac-
ton.
An imperial trade has been issued order
ing the Porte TO formulate proposals re-
gaTding the customs duties, as suggested
in the collective note of the amba ssators,
presented on April :.
Neither Secretary Hay nor the Turkish
Minister has been advised of the reported
action Of the Porte in replying TO the
American demands. In the absence Of
Official information, and Of the specific
conditions Of the reply. officials here pre-
fer not 10 discuss the matter, but express
the hope that satisfactory and a-licabie

EARL Il MAKES APPEAL
Asks the Powers to Facilitate His
Journey to Peking.
HE Is NAMED A PEACE ENVOY
To Co-operate With Prince Cling in the
Settlement of the Wa Difficulties,
Minister Wu Asks for Gunboat

WASHINGTON, Sept. l2. - Minister
Wa has received cable message from
Ii Hung Chang giving an imperial
edict, signed by the emperor, directing
him to proceed Immediately to Peking
and there to cooperate with Prince
CHING during peace negotiations and
settlement of all war difficulties The
edict is dated Aug II. Accordingly
Ii Hung Chang asks that the powers
cooperate i'll atfording him personal
protection and facilitating his journey.
He probably will leave Shanghai at
once, going by sea. Sir Robert Hart,
imperial minister of customs, has been
! asked to procure steamer accommodate
tions for the trip Minister WI will
ask that United States gunboat be
designated for Earl Lii use.
If the United States decides to COM
ply with Ii Hung Changes request
there are now available for this pur-
pose the gunboats Nashville and
Princeton and the battleship Oregon.
The two former vessels are at Shang-
hal and the battleship is at Woosung,
the man-of-war anchorage just below
Shanghai. The cruiser New Orleans
was at Woosung until Monday, when
she sailed for Taku. The average speed
OF the Princeton and Nashville is about
10 knots and the distance from Shang.
hal to Taku is about $50 miles, so that
one Of them would require at least six
days to make the run. 1t is presumed
that Earl Ii has asked for a United
States vessel because of the rumors
that the allied commanders at Taku
had decided to take him into custody
upon his arrival there The great diff
Guilty which General Chaffee has to deal
with in China at present is the con-
templated withdrawal of American
troops from Peking to the Philippine
islands.

FRANCE IS WITH RUSSIA,
Agrees to Withdraw Her Minister and
Troops to Tien Tsin.


Troops tn Tien Tsin.
LONDON, Sept. 12.-France has for
mally agreed to the Russian proposal to
withdraw from Peking to Tien Tsin.
A representative Of the Associated
Press learns on unquestionab.e author
lty chat telegraphic instructions were
sent from Paris and St. Petersburg to
M. Pichon and M. De Giers, respec-
lively the ministers of France and Rus
sia at Pelling, directing both ministers,
i'll conjunction with Generals Frey and
LinoWltch, to take measures to with
draw the legations and military con.
tingents Of both countries to Tien Tsin
Immediately as conditions permit.
Diplomatic circles in London are in
clined to believe that this step will lead
to similar action on the part of the
United Statcr and Japan, and that
while Germany may hold out until
Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee
arrives in China, she will ultimately
acquiesce, leaving Great Britain little
choice but to follow suit.

WE'RE BURIED AT SEA
Victims of the Galveston Storm
Consigned to Rest.
I'm THE CRADLE OF THE DEEP"
The Ground Too Wet to Permit Digging
the Many Graves Necessary-Loss
of Life Is Tremendous.

HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. 12.-Details
from the storm swept district of Texas
hourly disclose more heartrending fea-
lures and confirm early rumors of one
OF the greatest catastrophes of late
years. No wire communication is yet
possible with the city of Galveston and
the only definite news obtained so far
has come by tugboats and refugees.
There seems to be no ground for the
hope that further details will show a
reduction in the number of lives lost
and a conservative estimate is given
at 1000 dead all told. The property
loss is perhaps even greater than at first
given.
In the city of Galveston the dead are
being gathered up as rapidly as possi-
BILE, taken to sea on barges snd there
consigned to their last resting place.
This action is necessary to protect the
survivors from pestilence and because
the ground is too wet to permit of dig
ging graves.
Ghouls have begun their work and
bodies are being stripped of their val
uables.
Hurrying Relief Forward.
Relief trains are hurrying forward
with supplies as rapidly as possible.
Outside Galveston smaller towns are
beginning to send in reports as tele.
graphic communication improves and
many additions to the list OF dead and
property losses are received. Rich
mond and Hitchcock each report 16
lives lost. Alta Iona, Arcadia, Kelas-
co, seabrooke, Belleville, Arcola and
many other towns have from to 8
dead. In most of these place many
houses have been totally destroyed and
thousands of head of live stock killed.
The railroads alone will suffer mil
lions of dollars in actual damage, to
say nothing Of the loss from stoppage
of business. The International and
Great Northern and Santa Fe have
miles of track washed out and the
bridges connecting Galveston with the
mainland must be entirely rebuilt.
