TIE DEAD. THOUSANDS fOF BODIES BE ING FOUND IN GAL

  THE UNIDENTIFIED BURIED Communication to Be Established -.-Destitution Cannot Be
 Described,
THE UNIDENTIFIED BURIED
Communication to Be Established

Houston, Texas, Sept. l0.-Tne people are getting out Of Galveston tonight, aud the excitement here is intense. The estimated number of dead has grown rapidly as the peo- ole have come out. It is DOW con- servative man who estimates lower than 1500. Many go to 2500. Those dead are being buried now that is, such as can be recovered. A list of the dead was sent out today by the Galveston News aud turned over here to the Associated Press.
 The list is only partial one. The full list will never be printed, for the beach on the mainland is strewn with bodies, and these are being buried as they are picked up, wiCh. out iden tifieafioa.Z Newspaper men who reached here today and tonight say that the story of destitution there cannot be adequately de- scribed. Every house is hospital or mofgoe, afa.many of them both. Relief is pouring in to the mayor of Houston, Hon. s. H. Bra saear, from all Texas points and from many outside. The appeal of the governor is strong one and will uo doubt bring that relief that must come, and come quickly, Hous ton is doing everything E its power, but that is mpara5ivel little, for tbe means Of communication are still cut eff They will be improved tomorrow, however, as the relief steamer is clearing the bayou of fallen trees as it goes down, and this will enable otLer boats to move freely.
 Arrang ments have been made by which communication with Gal weston will be re established to morrow This will be done by way of Texas City over the Gal weston $ Harrisburg railroad aud thence across the bay by the steam tug Eugene. The railroad company sent out large force of hands to repair the track from Texas City Junction into Texas City. This neeessitated the build ing Of about mile of track, which will be ready for use tomorrow. The first train will leave a o'clock in the morning on the Internationa al and Great Northern, reaching Texas City at II a. m, where connection will be made with the Eugene and trip across to Galveston will be made in about ferty6ve minutes, the distance from Texas City to Galveston being six miles. This service is arranged for the accom- modation of those having relatives in Galveston, and it is not intended for ttose intent on curiosity. They will be provided for later on.
 This service will be the only means of reaching Galveston for some time to come, as all the rail- road bridges across the bay are washed away, and it will take some time to replace them

Peter Larson. OF Minneapolis. is the
latest victim o. the festive bunko men,
whom Chief OF Police Reed has instructed
his detectives to round up on sight. Lar
son was just as easy as J. II. Erickson.

method adopted In the Erickson case.
-Four days ago" said Larson. II met
a. fellow countryman named Johnson on
the water front. | was going TO Nome
and he said he was going there also. We
became good friends, and finally went into
partnership. intending to take up some
cattle Johnson introduced me to j. +.
Hudson. who was staying at the York
hotel.
sHudson had several claims at Nome.
and made "A proposition To have us work a
Law on shares. He said that last year
he had been given the worst of IL by
men who worked for him. and that on this
account he would require each OF ns TO
nut up $3.50 as an Indication OF good faith.
A regular contract was drawn up. We
were to do the work and get 80 per cent.
of the proceeda | paid Hudson $50 in
cash and my partner gave him check "
When Larson left police headquarters
last evening he said that he had not seen
either johnson or Hudson since. although

AGAINST SUPPORT AT NOME
Special Agent Evans. of Treasury
Department., Says the Plan II
without Merit.

In letter to Secretary Prosch. OF the
Chamber of Commerce. which was read
at yesterdays meeting. John F. Evans.
special agent of the treasury department.
writes from Sitka expressing decided pre-
JUDGE against the proposed creation of a
SUPPORT of entry at Nome.
For your information" says Mr.. Ev-
ans, II am permitted to say that the rea-
sons pro and con gathered by me in course
Of my inquiry touching this matter have
been reported to the honorable secretary
of the treasury for his consideration and
action. The lack of natural harbor or
landing facilities at Cape Nome. the want
of warehousing accommodations. the con-
venience of the ports of Unalaska and st.
Michael the ample capacity of vessels
of the United States listed for the Alas
ka trade. the uncertain character of the
placer mining discoveries as to perman-
ency and the storm OF opposition manifest
ed at Pacific coast ports to the opening OF
Nome to general trade, will doubtless have
great weight with the secretary of the
treasury in reaching his decision in the
matter"
In conclusion, Mr.. Evans thanks the
Chamber of Commerce for the handsome
manner in which he was entertained while
passing through this city some time ago.
