Rebuilding of Galveston Will Soon
Be Well Under Way.
GRATITUDE FOR OUTSIDE HELP
Work Of Cleaning Up and Bury
ing Dead Nearly Done.
GOOD PAY TO WORE M EN-

AUTSIN, Tex, September 19.-Governor
Sayers today, speaking Of the situation at
Galveston, said:
II look for the rebuilding of Galveston to
be well under way by the latter part of this
week The work of cleaning the city OF un-
healthful refuse and burying the dead will
have been completed by that time, and all
the available labor in the city can be ap-
piled to the rebuilding.
IF the laboring people Of Galveston VIII
only get to work In earnest prosperity Will
soon again smile on the city. Arrangements
have been made to pay all the laborers
working under the direction of the military
authorities $3.50 and rations for every day
they have worked or Will work. An account
has been kept of all work done and no la
borer will lose one days pay.
THE money and food contributions COM
ing from a generous people have been a
great help to the people of Galveston, as 1t
has relieved them of the necessity of spend
ing their money to support the needy, and
it can now be applied TO the improvements
of their own property and putting again on
foot their business enterprises.
Good Wages Offered.
Five dollars day is being offered to the
mechanics who will come to Galveston, and
with the assurance from reputable physt-
cianS that tneTe is no extraordinary danger
of sickness outside laborers will flock to
Galveston and before many days new city
will rise on the stornl-swept island.
The telegraph and telephone companies
and railroads have been exceedingly gener-
since the great calamity. They have
not only given money. but everything has
been transported to that city free of charge,
while those desiring TO get away from the
narrowing scenes OF Galveston have been
transported free. The people of Texas Will
long remember with grateful hearts the
-ndness of these companies. 1t is now an
assured fact that trains will be running
into Galveston this week, and with unint er-
rupted communication with the outside
world Galveston shouid soon assume her
normal condition

TRIBUTE TO SICARD.
Announcement by the Navy Depart
ment of His Death

The Navy Department has issued "a spe-
cial ORDER announcing the death of Rear
Admiral Montgomery Sicard al his home in
Westernvile, N. Y, on the 14th instant
and paying the following tribute to his
memory:
During the long service of Rear Admiral
Sicard, extending from 1851 to 1880, he
earned the warm respect and esteem Of The
entire navy, for he bore the enviabe repu-
taton OF being one of the most able up
right and conscientious officers Of the serv-
Ice. His courage, coolness and presence
of mind in time of danger were proverbiai
and usIuestioaed.
THE large part he took in Introducing
in o the navy modern high-powered ord
nance is well known TO the service.
"A short time previous to the outbreak of
the late war with the kingdom of Spain
Rear Admiral Scerd was in command Of
the North Atlantic squadron. unfortu-
nately his ill-heath at that time compelled
the department to detach him from his
command, but soon after, having recovered
his health sufficiently TO be placed on uuty,
ne was assigned to the Important post of
senior member of the board of strategy
where he served throughout the war. His
long experience and sound judgment maue
his service at this cri,ical period especially
valuable to the department
"As mark of respect to his memory it Ia
hereby ordered that the day following the
receipt OF this order the flags at all naval
stations and of all ships in commission be
placed at half mast from sunrise to sunset
and that a Salute of thirteen minute guns
be fired at nOon.''

SENATOR sHOUPs PROSPECTS.
Republicans Relieve That He Has q
Good Chance OF Succesn.

Republicans believe That He Has u
Good Chance or Success.
Republicans are much gratiffed at ipfor-
nation that there is good prospect of the
reelection of Senator Slnup in Idaho.
While there Is no more than bare hope
that the state may be carried for Mck!n-
ley, the opinion is expressed that Shoup's
popularity among all Glasses of people in
the state will secure his reelection.
Dubois and Shoup, who are running
against each other, are, both popular, hut
Dubois has a complicated fusion to handle,
which is said to be mare er less uncertain,
while Shoup has the full republican
strength without any factional differences.
1t is claimed also that nearly all of the sill
yer republicans in the state have gone back
into the regular republican organization.
1t is claimed Il good many democrats and
populists will vote for Shoup on account
of their personal regard for him In a
quiet way, it is said. Shoup Is putting up
one of the best fights that are being made
for the Senate lin any Of the close states.
Senator Heitfeid, who is at the head of
the popuiSts III the fusion supporting Du-
boiS, does not agree with this republican
view of the situation, however, but says
that the fusioniSts will carry both the l. e
islature ana the electoral ticket. He says
he does not believe the republicans can
capture either Idaho or Montana. though
he does not speak quite as confidently IF

GEN. CORBIN SELECTED
WILL BE DESIGNATED TO ACT As
SECRETARY OF WAR.
Abundant Legal Provision for Ap-
pointing Temporary Head of
the Department..

There is ample legal provision for select
ing a temporary head of the War Depart
raent in the absence of both the Secretary
and the assistant secretary, notwithstand-
ing newspaper statements to the contrary
A statute bearing en- that subject provides
that 1.-The President may authorize and di-
rect the commanding general Of the army
or the chief of any military bureau of the
War Department to perform the duties Of
Secretary of War" whenever such action
is necessary because of the absence, illness
or disability of the Secretary and assistant
secretary.
Such q condition of affairs will be pre-
sented to the President tomorrow morning.
Secretary Root is confined to his nome at
Southampton, l.. l., by illness and Is not
expected to return to Washington for sew
eIal days at least. Assistant Secretary
Meiklejohn, who has heen acting as secre-
tary since Mr. Roots departure from the
city, will leave here this evening for his
home in Nebraska, where he has an engage
mcnt TO speak on the issues OF the day
Saturday evening.
Lieutenant General Miles, who under or
dinary circumstances would succeed to the
office OF acting secretary under conditions
which will exist tomorrow, Is now engaged
in the inspection of army schools at Fort
Leavenworth and Fort Riley, Kan. and Is
not expected to return to Washington until
Saturday evening. Under the conditions
stated II will therefore become necessary
for the President to designate the chief Of
one of the military bureaus Of the War De-
partment to perform the duties of Secretary
of War until the return of either Mr.. Root,
Mr.. Meiklejohn or General Miles.
1t was practically arranged at the War
Department this afternoon that Adjutant
General Corbin shall be designated as
acting secretary. There is no special sig
nificance in his selection. Next to General
Miles ne is the high ranking army officer in
the city. 1t is by no means an uncommon
thing for the chief Of military bureau to
act AS Secretary Of War. In order that
there may be legal impedinent 10 their
doing so, it is expressly provided by statute
that section 1922 of the Revised Statutes
shall not apply in such eases. That section
prohibits army officers from holding civil
offices. 1t therefore appears that no trou-
BILE or embarrassment is likely to result
from the simultaneous absence Of the high
est three officers of the military establish

SCRANTON IN A BAD WAY.

Strike Will Stop Street Car and
Lighting Services.
SCRANTON, September 19.-The strike Of
the anthracite coal miners entered upon
its third day with everything shut down in
the first district except the West End Coal
Companys mine at Mocanaqua. This is
the only mine In operation, and the strike
leaders made a strong but unavailing ef
fort to close it. With this exception the
tie-up in Lackawanna and Wyoming val
leys is thorough, for not even a wash
cry is doing business today here
abouts, despite the efforts yesterday to
have several Of them operated. The own
ers have failed to make any agreement
which insures their employees the wage in
crease demanded. The situation is made
more complicated by this fact, for within
D few days must come the Stoppage Of
street railway travel, the shutting down
largely of the electric light service and
the possible closing of school because Of
lack Of coal.
imperative" said Henry Collins Of the
district executive board this morning. "The
tie-up OF the mines has caused the laying
off of every coal train crew in this region
and whatever coal is being moved is going
out in the freight trains. Only three Della
ware and Hudson coal trains went north
yesterday, and three crews are marked
out for today, but enc is to be employed in
