Governor Sayers of Texas Fairly Deluped
With Relief Contributions.
AUSTIN. Tex, Sept. Ex-Governor
Sayers made the following statement
to the Associated Press regarding Gal.
weston sufferers:
Conditions at Galveston are fully as
bad as represented. Communication
has been re.established between the ISL
and and the mainland and the trans.
portation of supplies will be less diff
cult. Work of clearing the city is pro.
crossing fairly well and Adjutant Gen.
eral Sievery, under direction of the
mayor, is patrolling the city for the
purpose of preventing depredations.
The most conservative estimate as to
the number. of deaths places them at
2,00O. Contributions from citizens of
this state and also other states are COM
ing in rapidly and literally and it is
confidently expected that within the
next 10 days the work of restoration by
the people Of Galveston will have be.
gun in good earnest and with energy
and success. OF course the destruction
Of property has been very great, not
less than $40, ,0OO,0 900, but it is hoped
ana believed that even this great loss
will be overcome through the energy
and self.reliance of the people,"
During the day contributions have
fairly deluged the governor, upwards
of 100000 having been received.
Among the large contributors are to be
noted the Standard Oil company with
$40, 900, the st. Louis Commercial club
for like amount and the Huntingso ION
interests for 5000.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Chinese
minister has received an important
edict conferring on Ii Hung Chang ex.
traordinary power for the complete set.
tlement of the Chinese trouble. 1t
gives him authority to make any terms
according to his own discretion without
referring them to the emperor. This is
unusual authority and it is claimed at
the Chinese legation gives Ii Hung
Chang credentials adequate to meet all
the objections heretofore raised as to
his power to negotiate for peace. The
edict is dated two weeks ago but is just
forwarded from Ii Hung Chang. Min.
lister WI delivered it to the state de.
pa-tment during the morning.
The edict comforting on Ii Hung
Chang absolute and unconditional au.
thority to negotiate with the powers
for peace is dated on the last day Of the
7th moon, Chinese calendar, which is
about Aug. "a. 1t is issued by the EN-.
peror and not the empress dowager
The document does not show the place
at which it was issued, butit was. trans

CHICAGO, Sept. l2.-The following
statement has been received from R.
Q. Lowe, manager of the Galveston
News:
IA summary of the conditions pre-.

stated the damage to property is any

all is simply guesswork. Those thrown
out to sea and buried on the ground
wherever found will reach the horrible
total of at least 5000 souls.
"My estimate of tho loss on the isl.
and by the city Of Galveston and the
immediate surrounding district is be-
tween 1000 and 5000. I do not make
this statement in fright or excitement.
The whole story will never be told, be-

WILL REPLY PROMPTLY.
United States Likoly to Accept Ii Hung
Chang as Peace Envoy.

Chang as Peace Envoy.
WASHINGTON, Sept. lit is be-
lieved that a prompt answer will be
made by the state department to the
latest imperial edict appointing Ii
Hung Chang as plenipotentiary with
absolute powers to negotiate terms of
peace. DR.. Hill, the acting secretary
Of state, was in conference over the
long distance telephone with the presi.
dent at Somerset in regard to this mat.
ter and the wishes of the executive
were fully explained. Just what the
nature of the reply to the edict will be
responsible officials refuse to say. So
far as the personality Of Ii Hung
Chang is concerned it is not believed
there will be objection to him by our
government, as it already in response
to the edict of Aug. 8 appointing him
as an envoy to conduct negotiations ex.
pressed it's satisfaction and announced
that this government twill OH its part
entering into negotiations for the pur-
pose of continuing the friendly rela-
tions SO long maintained between tho
two countries" Whether the condi.
tions set forth in the presidents letter
of Aug. % to Minister WI for trans.
mission to Ii Hung Chang as a pre-.
liminary to peace negotiations, have
been met, in the minds of the officials,
will determine the question whether
the time is now ripe for complying with
tho provisions of the imper;',l edict.
These conditions clearly indicated that
this government was ready to welcome
any overtures for truce and would
invite the other powers to join "when
security is established in the Chinese
capital and the Chinese government
shows its ability and willingness to
make on its part an effective suspension
of hostilities there and elsewhere in
China"
