 The railroads are still having trouble getting men to work, both in Galveston and up the State. There Is an immense amount of work to be done in all the lines and men have their choice of jobs. Cotton pick CTS up the State are being paid from To cents to s1 per 100 pounds for picking cot ton and negro laborers above have quit the railroads to work in the fields for the higher wages. The Santa Fe road is to bring some 300 Italians from Chicago to work at different points north of Calves ton, and 1t Is reported that the Southern Pacific will bring large number of Mex jeans to work on it's line in eastern and central Texas. The trouble in Galveston is not only with laborers, but with car penters as well. Nearly every man in town who is not a carpenter is trying to get a carpenter to work for him and it has pulled the market.

Austin, Tex, September H-Rcturning this morning from Galveston Governor Savers reported conditions in that city as greatly improved The relief committee is doing excellent work and the people gen. orally talk hopfully. There were about 17OO men at work clearing away the debris on Wednesday. It is his opinion that it will require 5000 men with an addition of 1000 men to remove all debris occasioned by the storm within the next thirty days. This, however, is but an estimate and may require longer time. Means have been provided for prompt payment in cash for each days work and no man Is asked or required to work without full compensa- tion in money. The supplies are being systematically distributed only to those who have suffered from the storm and are helpless, the policy being to pay those wno are strong and willing to work and to help only those who are infirm and needy and cannot provide for themselves.
 Commerce is being resumed and on Wednesday Governor Savers says several large ships were loading with grain ana cotton. The Governor adds that It IS m nosible for him to commend the people or Galyeton too highly for thelr iortlluue, .i' self reliance energy and devotion 10 tue nubIic welfare under such trying clrcum- stances. l., It, The Governor states it is not in hlS power to properly and sufficiently express his admiration of the conduct or the laoieo of Houston in relieving the storn suiiei
