MORE AID NEEDED
AT GALVESTON

Galveston, Oct. Miss Clara Bar
ton, president of the National Red
Cross society. to-day issued II statement
TO the manufacturers and businfs
men of the country. in which she ~
peals to them for aid in the way of ma
terial to be used in the building of
homes for those who lost their all in
the recent storm. Ii is addressed:
TO the manufacturers and dealers in
lumber, hardware, burners materials
and household goods. and to business
men in general of the United States
and says:
I'VE believe it is reliably stated that
there Is not one house in the area of
the storm unchanged by ii. a large
proportion of these persons formerly
occupying them are entirely without
homes or even shelter, save such per
sons rs nearly ms destitute as them
selves can offer them temporarily, to
their great Inconvenience and cost.
The number of this homeless class
is estimated ut 5000 or more. Winter
is less than two months away. Al
though a mild climate still snow and
ice are known here. If tents would
protect. which they will not the sea
sand and the quicksand would not hold
them down; the first norther would
leave their occupants as unsheltered as
before; and hardships, colds. pneu-
monia and consumption would find
what the storm has left.
Some substantial shelter must be
had mt once for these people.
"'rhc havoc wrought by the storm in
Galveston ut once was much larger in
loss of life and property than at Johns
town. but the donations in money so
far have aggregated one-third less for
boGn the city and mainland than was
given ut Johnstown.
while the bountiful outpouring of
the peoples generosity has enabled the
general relief committee and the Red
Cross to feed the hungry, ciothe tbs
naked, and render the streets of Gu
weston partially pnssnble. nothing has
as yet been done toward reinstating the
Impoverished survivors in houses where
they can escape disease and enjoy the
slight measure of the comforts of
which tie storm deprived them.

and Cabinet Seat for senator Murphy
New York. Sept. 2J.-Thc Times-Her-
aid correspondent is able to state au
thoritativcly and of his own knowledge
the following facts concerning this bar
gain which Mr.. Stone, representing
Mr.. Bryan. made with Mr.. Croker:
l. The deal WAS first discussed in
detail between Mr.. Croker and William
j. Stone when the latter spent n week
or ten days in New York Il month ago.
.. Mr.. Stone reported Mr.. Crokers
terms to Mr.. Bryan ut n meeting in
Chicago attended by Chairman Jones
and Committeeman Johnson and Cam
pau.
3. Upon his return to this city with
Mr.. Bryan's approval of the deal Mr..
Stone opened national headquarters
here and Mr.. Croker began to raise Il
campaign fund and talk for Mr.. Bryan.
/. Mr.. Croker has promised to carry
New York for Mr. Bryan. To do ii he
has agreed to raise campaign fund
of 100000. and lie has promised TO
give 100000 in cash to the Democratic
national committee
>. on his side, Mr. Croker is to re
ceive the control of all federal patron
age in New York City and he has the
promise of the sccretaryship of the
navy for his bosom friend. former Sen
ator Murphy, in the event of Mr.. Bry-
ans election.
6. The sole cause of Mr.. Croker's
recent zeal for Mr.. Bryan's election is
the promise he has received of federal
patronage in case of the latter's cleo
ton.

of the hope that such punishment,

This edict, inspired by the Empress

st. Louis. Mo-. oct Next Wednes-
day the American Board of Commits
sioncrs for Foreign Missions will begin
its nineteenth annual meeting in this
city. The meeting will be in session
three days and President Samuel h.
Napcn of Boston will preside.
This will be the most important of
any meeting ever held by the board
since its organization in 1910. owing
to the famine in India and the crisis
in China, where many workers have
been killed and much property belong
ing to the missions under their control
destroyed. Matters relating to the
work in those and other fields will
come up for discussion and action and
officers for the ensuing year will be
elected.
1t is believed that all the present
officers will be reelected

Minneapolis Flour Mills Close.

Minneapolis. Oct G.-Nearly half
the flour mills operating in Minneapo-
lis will close tonight for an indefinite
length of time. The Washburn-Cros
by and Che Pilsbury Milling companie
say that sixty per cent of their mill
will close. and it is also reported tln
the Consolidated Milling Company vii
discontinue operations. although it
not learned how many mills will b
affected.
The officials say the shut down Is
due to the shortage i'll the demand for
anur. The foreign trade. II is declnr-
ed is practically dead. while the pres
cnt stock of the mills will be sufficient
to supply the domestic trndc for some
time to come. 1t is contcndcd gener-
ally that the coming election and polit
ical influence have to some extent
brought about the sudden decline in
demand. and it is probable that none
of the mills will resume operations I'M
Ill after the election is over.

CONFERENCE OF
STRIKE LEADERS

HaZelton. Pa. Oct. IA conference
which is believed TO mark the begin
ming of the end of the anthracite coal
miners strike. which enters upon its
fourth week tomorrow, was held at the
HEADQUARTERS of the United Mine
Workers here this afternoon Those
present besides President Mitchell.
We're Fred Dilcher of Ohio, a member
of the executive board, and Presidents
+. u. Nichols of District No. ], Lack
awanna and Wyoming valleys; James
Duffy, District No. I. Lchigh valley:
John Fahcy, District No. ., Schuykill

Although no information was given
out, it is known that the question of
issuing a call for II joint convention
vas the princil al matter discussed. The
uming convention will be held at
Scranton unless something unforeseen
should arise between now and the time
If the issuing of the call. Besides tax
ng up the matter of II convention. it
: understood that the question of rep
resenation was also considered. The
three district presidents made full re
ports as TO the conditions as they now
exist in the respective districts.
President Mitchell. after the confe
cnce. said he would have something to
say tomorrow in regard to the conVen-
ton. If the date has been fixed, only
Mr.. Mitchell and his colleagues know
it.
OF course, the principal matter TO
come before the miners will be the ac-
ceptance or rejection of the ten per
cent. increase offered by most of the
operators. President Mitchell said to-
day that not one official of the mine
workers will take hand in any action
the convention might take, ms the
men must themselves settle everything
chat comes before them. The belief is
general that the miners will accept the
increase.
Most of the mine owners who have
granted the wage concession do not
specify in their notices how long the
advance shall remain in force, and it
is not unlikely that an attempt Will be
made by the miners in convention to
open negotiations looking to Il conces-
sion in the matter. President Mitchell
and the other leaders are strong advo-
Gates of an annual wage scheme, sim
liar to that in force in the btuminous
coal fields. If this proposition and that
relating to the abolition of the slid
ing scale are brought before the con-
Vention. and the negotiations with the
mine operators are opened, it might
considerably delay the settlement of
the strike.
