New Orleans, Sept. S.-A special from
Dallas, Texas, says all Texas is in a
keen state of doubt and uncertainty to-
night concerning the fate of Galveston
Island and city which is shut off from
communication. In everybodys mind is
the suspicion that calamity rests be-
hind the lack of information from the
Gulf coast. 1t is reported that immense
destruction has befallen Galveston and
other places. 1t is said that the bridges
leading from the mainland to the island
have been swept away by the terrible
fury of the wind and the rolling up of the
water in the bay and if this is so it is
not seen how the town could have es-
capped. The last report from Galveston
stated that the Gulf waters were en-
croaching rapidly on the beach and that
the flood had extended into a portion of
the city for several blocks. The waves
were very high and boisterous in the
bay and considerable damage was being
done to small craft. The rain had been
very heavy all day and traffic was en-
tirely suspended. The Southern Pacific
wharves had been damaged to the ex-
tent of $4,000

the Democratic convention and will be
kept on the roll until nomination is

in by all the delegates and leaders pres

The situation therefore is that the adj
herents of Senator Hill will compel Mr.

convention and if he succeeds in that,
he will be compelled to select the candi-
date to beat Mr.. Coler. 1t is asserted
that it will not be Mr. Danforth, or Mr..
Stanchfeld or Judge Earl, or in fact
any man connected with that section of
the party favorably to Mr.. Hill, for that
leader has obtained their promise to
not allow their names to be considered

convention. Elliott Danforth allows him
self to be quoted tonight as follows:
