UNREPoRTED DISASTER IN
GULF TORNADO.

H1ntR BLOWN AWAY OR DROWNED
story Told by One OF h Few Survivors
Spent Over Fifty Hours In Dismal
Lighthouse without Food-Other
News of Great Importance.

A telegram from Hon. John II. Poe,
residing at Lake Charles, stating that
eighty-fve lives were lost on the Gulf
& Interstate train which left Beau
mont early Saturday morning, Septem-
Der 8, for Bolivar Point. Mr., Pee was
one of the passengers on this train,
and, fortunately, together with a few
others, he sought safety in the light
house at Bolivar Point and was saved.
The train reached Boliver about
noon, and preparations were made to
run the train on the ferryboat prepar-
atory to crossing the bay. But the
wind blew so swiftly that the ferry
could not make q landing, and the
conductor of the train, after allowing
it to stand on the tracks for a few
minutes, started to back it toward
Beaumont.
The wind increased SO rapidly, COM
ing in from the open sea that Don
the water reached a level with the
bottom Of the seats within the cars.
1t was then that some of the passen-
gers sought safety in the nearby light
house.
But Mr.. Poe said that ip spite of all
efforts e%ighty-tive passengers were
blown away or drowned. The train
was entirely wrecked.
Those who were saved had to spend
over fifty hours in the lighthouse on
almost no rations.

negotiations and a peace settlement of
all war difficulties. The edict isolated

asks that the powers cooperate in af-
fording him personal protection and
facilitating his journey. He probably
will leave Shanghai at once, going by

ter of customs, has been asked to pro-
cure steamer accommodations for the
trip. Minister Wu probably will ask
that the United States gunboat be des-
ignated for Earl Lis use.
The acting secretary of state has re-
piled to the edict transmitted ycster-
day by Minister WI, giving Ii Hung
Chang extraordinary powers to nego-
tate for peace, as follows:
"The United States does not feel
called upon to express any opinion at

will transpire that his credentials are
