After the Flood.

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 16.-Every hour
brings Galveston nearer to normal con
ditions and the improvement of each day
shows a decided gain over the preceding
day 1t will be weeks and possibly
months before the city will he in good
running shape, but matters are fast
rounding into a condition which, COM
pared with the chaos in the early part of
the week, is comfort and happiness. The
great immediate need of the city at pres
ent is money-not subscriptions, but cold,
hard cash. 1t is needed in every direction,
and for a multitude of purposes. The
most important of these is to pay the
men who are cleaning up the streets. Ad-
jutant Scurry said today: 81 have not a
dollar to pay the men who are working in
the streets all day long. am not able
to say to single one of these men: You
shall be paid for your work We must
have this city cleaned up at any cost, and
with the greatest speed possible. If it
is not done with all haste and at the same
time done well there may be pestilence,
and if it once breaks out here it will not
be Galveston alone who will suffer. Such
things spread, and it is not only for the
sake of this city, but for others outside
Of this place that l urge above all things
we want money. OF all the poor people
here not one has anything. A majority
of them could not furnish a single room
in which to commence housekeeping, even
though they had the money to rebuild the
room. Those people have absolutely moth
ing except what is given them by the re-
lief committee. They are in condition
of absolute want; they lack everything
and save for the splendid generosity of
the nation would be utterly without
hope"
The city water, which was turned on
yesterday afternoon for a short time, was
on again this morning in full force and
will remain on. The water works, never
badly damaged, have been put into con-
dition that affords an abundant supply
of good water on every hand. The mains
were thoroughly flushed this morning and
for several hours the hydrants played into
the cutters. The effect being one of great
Importance. Ever since the storm there
has been a mass of dark, foul-smelling
slime over parts of all the streets, and
its presence was menace to public health
as long as it was allowed to exist. This
has now been almost entirely cleared
away, and the intense odor that filled the
city during the early part of the week
has in consequence been greatly abated.
The work of burning bodies is still 60
ing on, they are being hurried to the fires
as soon as possible after being taken
from the water All of last night and all
of today there were numerous fires along
the shore, and in every one of them were
from three to 20 bodies. There is no long
er the slightest attempt at identification.
No effort is made to ascertain whether
the body is that of white or colored per-
sons. All of them have been so long in
the water under a blazing sun that it
would be exceedingly difficult to deter
mine the identity of any body unless by
the clothing.

Lii VIII Protect Americans.
Washington, Sept. l4.-Minister WI
has received a cablegram from LII Hung
Chang answering the hope expressed in
the American note of a few days ago that
his powers are sufficient to protect Ameri-
con lives and interests in China. Earl Lii
says he has that power and will see that
the protection is given.
1 The Chinese government has made swift
answer to the latest communication from
the state department relative to the recog-
milton OF Ii Hung Chang as an envoy
competent to negotiate peace settlement.
There has never been any doubt here as
to the sutficiency of Lis credentials as
plenipotentiary, but the effort of the
state department has been to cause him
to use any extraordinary powers he might
have for the protection of American life
and property IN China, pending a final
settlement. 1t has succeeded in attaining
this object, as indicated in the response
from Lii Hung Chang presented to Assist
ant Secretary Hill this morning by Minis
WI. The department asked La Hung
Chang without further delay to give as
surance that the life and property of Amer
leans might henceforth be respected
throughout the Chinese empire"
The viceroy has given the assurance
