Galveston, Texas. Sept. 13.-
Some order is being brought out
of chaos. Something like q sys-
tematic attempt is being made
to clear the debris and remove
the dead. Idlers are being press
ed into service at the point of
the bayonet and made to work
and a military Gordon is being
drawn tighter and tighter about
the place. Every horse aud mule
that was left in the city is in
service and a ray of hope is
shooting above the pail of gloom
that has hovered over Galveston
since Sunday morning. Supplies
are coming in from Houston and
the first line of communication
with the outside was opened to-
day via Texas City. Large for
ces are working on the railroads
and in few days the people o1
Galveston believe the situation
will be greatly improved. Major
r. B. Baer, receiver of the street
railroad property, refused any
outside aid for any of the EN-
ployes or their families. Tht
railroad boys have acted mag
niticently in rescue work ant
have organized for the care o
their own dead and the preser
walton of their own living.

An Understanding Has Been Reached

Requests Transit to Pekin.

Paris, Sept. 12.-It is learned
from the Foreign Office that a
majority of the powers have
agreed on three points regarding
the settlement of the Chinese
questionable preservation of
the integrity of the empire, the
necessity of securing. guarantees
that outrages will not occur In
the future and compensation for
past grievances. Pourparlers
are now being exchanged be-
tween the powers as to what
guarantees and compensation
shall be demanded.
Inquiries as to what powers
constituted the minority, who
had not agreed to these points,
failed to elicit any more definite
reply than that no power had re-
fused to accept them, but that
some of the nations had not yet
given their assent. The CORES
pondent learns from other good
sources, however, that Germany
is probably the only power that
at present hesitates to join in the
agreement. The difficulty with
Germany is to climb down in
dignified manner from her hasti
