D FOR GALVESTON
Rush of Cash and Provisions
 to Stricken City
Work Progresses Steadily in Cleaning Up the Fearful Mass of Wreckage and Many More Bodies Add to the Horror.

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 13--Cialveston is beginning slowly to recover from the stunning blow of last week and though the city appears tonight to be pitilessly desolated, authorities, commercial and
 industrial interests, are setting their forces to work and start has at last been made toward d resumption of
 business on a moderate scale. The presence of troops has had d beneficial effect upon the criminal classes and the fear of d brief but desperate reign of anarchy no longer exists. Liquor sa- looms have at least temporarily gone out of business and every strong limbed man who has not his own abode to look after is being pressed into service.
 So that first of all, water service may be resumed, gutters flushed and streets lighted. The further the ruins are dug into the greater becomes the increase in
 number of those who perished as their houses tumbed about their heads. On
 the lower beach yesterday a searching party found a score of corpses within small area, going to show that the bulwark of debris that lies straight across the island conceals many more
 bodies than have been accounted for. The city still presents the appearance of widespread wreck and ruin. Little has been done to clear the streets of ! the terrible tangle of wires and masses of wreck, mortar, slate, stone, and | glass that bestrew them. Many of the sidewalks are impossible and so thick | ly are some covered with slime that
 walking on them is out of the question | The work of relief continues. Mayor Jones and his associates are bending every nerve to open a direct line of transportation with Houston by which they may be enabled properly to re-
 ceive the great quantity of provIs-uns
 which are now on their way to the ] city.

IT IS UP TO EARL u.

Washington Sept 13-The crisis that was near at hand yesterday over the evacuation proposal of the Russian government has been averted for time at least and the diplomatic side of
 the matter has become again the ob- ject of attention. The order to General
 Chaffee to leave at once, which was expected in some quarters, did not is sue today. Instead, earnest efforts are
 being made to arrange preliminarieS for negotiations which are expected
 finally to settle the Chinese troubles.
 Lii Hung Chang's message today re- moves perhaps the last obstacle to a
 speedy beginning of these negotiations and the only doubt that now exists is in his ability to redeem his pledge to protect American interests and stop outrages on missionaries and native converts. If he can do this and thus manifest the existence of a de-factO government. there is no reason to doubt
 that negotiations will be immedi- ately in order. The notice that Russian
 troops will not evacuate Pekin until some arrangements have been made for the installation of a government to take charge of affairs is directly in line with the aim the state department
 has been pursuing in exchanges with Ii Hung Chang and if this Russian de- cision is adhered to it certainly will
 facilitate the ultimate withdrawal of
 all foreign troops. in the opinion of of fcials here. An inference from Rus sian statement is that Lis coming to Pekin will be forwarded by Russia in the hope of making the desired ar rangement for the establishment of d Chinese government there. As Lii can not reach the capital from Shanghai by starting tomorrow. inside of a week, it
 may be that there will be no develop ments in the international situation within that period of time-

POLICE HAVE BUSY SESSION
The Adventures of Watchman Dohe-
 ney and Patrolman Sullivan.

About o'clock yesterday morning was the sole spectator of d runaway that was adorned with enough sensa- tional trimmings to have created great excitement and probably caused much damage had it occurred during day light hours. A horse attached to a buggy and hitchcd at First avenue and Washington street, broke from it's faS- tening and ran west on Washington street. At Second avenue it struck a post and the rear part of the buggy was mashed. Doheney happened along about that time and gave chase. The horse ran west to Third avenue and then north on Monroe and west to Sixth avenue, where Doheney caught him. He picked up remnants of the wreck all along the route and took the horse to the Ambrose stable to await the reappearance of it's owner. The animal is gray geIding with d cross on the left thigh, and had been left standing at the hitching post for many hours previous to the runaway
 Officer Doheney was not the only peace keeper who had an experience out of the ordinary line. Wednesday evening Patrolman Jerry Sullivan had an exciting but futile chase after q vio- lator of the bicycle lamp ordinance. and was the victim of a woman's ready wit. Officer Sullivan was riding his wheel along Washington street when he observed two women riding east ward. One had no light on her ma chine, and the policeman started in pursuit. They saw him coming and the race was on. For a dozen blocks the officer rode for all that was in him but all in vain. He gained slowly but steadily on the fugitives until, in pass ing an especially dark place, the lady on the lightless bike rode around a corner and Sullivan, not missing her, continued until he caught the rider with the lamp, to find to his chagrln that he had been following decoy.

GIVES DEMOCRATS A JTRAvy
Coal Strike to be Worked for All That
 Is in It.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-The coal miners strike was the subject of most serious consideration at republican national headquarters today. Senator Hanna and ViceC Chairman Payne held a long conference with resident members of the advisory committee as to the best steps to take that political color be not given the industrial difficulty in Pennsylvania. At the close of the con- ference neither Chairman Hanna nor Payne made a statement. but Mir Heath. chairman of the press commit tee, said: We are not yet Suffici- ently advised as to the situation in Pennsylvania to warrant the eXpreS- sion of any view and it is not matter to be talked of without careful consid- eration of all the facts"
 At democratic headquarters Secretary Walsh was in a happy frame of mind over the success of the Croler element and said he was sure the coal strike would benefit the Bryan ticket. Tt will aid Us to demonstrate to the work ing people that combinations of capital are dangerous and constitute a stand ing menace to labor. The strike will cause agitation, and agitation is edu- cation"

THE END IS IN SIGHT
Ii Hung Chang's Promise of Protec- tion to American Interests and Russia's Latest Move Give New and Brighter Aspect to the Pros pect for Settlement of Oriental Trouble.

London, Sept. 14.-4 a. m.)-No fur ther light is thrown this morning upon Ii Hung Chang's intended movements.
 The Times has an interesting dis patch from Pekin dated September 4, which says in part:
 Russia has decided to withdraw her legation from Pekin, leaving a purely military command. An official an nouncement of this is expected today Other powers will apparently with draw their legations, leaving Pekin under military control of the allies during the winter at least.
 At a meeting of generals, the Rus sian commander announced that Rus sia would maintain 15,0OO troops during the winter.
 ''The German commander said that Germany would keep the same number and the Japanese commander. an- nounced that Japan would have 22,OOO. The British general was not in a posi- tion to make an announcement

LIFE IN NOME CITY
Conditions as Described by MT. J. E..
 Bark.

Though thousands of columns have been written regarding Nome City there is never waning interest in the reading of reports from that distant portion of the United States. COndi- tions there are so different from the surroundings here and each traveller views them from different standpoint. Each one upon his return is. therefore. competent to give added details that never fail to interest.
 The last to reach here from Alaska is J. E. Bark who returned home a few days ago. His opinion of the country seems to be conservative. He is not Nome boomer yet he says some big money has been made there and more fortunes will be found as the years go by.
 It is to date only q placer camp and unless rich lodges are discovered it will eventually work out" as many California camps have done. This may be in year or two, or it may be a de- cade. There is unquestionably lots of gold there now. Some of the claims are very rich, though, of course, the greater part of the ground is cheap dirt, which, for successful working, will require improved machinery, capital and a stable government as well as cheaper living and transportation rates and economy all round.

Senator Cullom' $ activity on the stump. however, evi- dently caused a change in the guber- material mind and immediately upon his return from the west governor Tanner wired the republican state speakers bureau that his ''coat was off and he wanted to work.

of Ending.
 The morning sun rose upon a truu- hled situation. A compromise of thA Smith-WilsOn problem seemed as far off as ever. Various rumors of the op- 1rdtionS of the conference or incom- plete credentials committee reached the outside world. It was underst ood that no effort had been made to agree upon seventh member. but that the committee was devotng itself directly 10 the MaricOpa contest and was en- deavoring to find out if the records of the secretary of the county convention had been falsified as the contestants al legged.
 Members of both factions the night he fore called at The Republican office tp See the report of the county cOnVen- ton and ascertain if it corroborated the secretary's record mainly as to the vote on the adoption of the majority re- port of the credentials committees This vote was one of the things hotly dis Tuted. It was rumOred early in tho forenoon that the conference committee had agreed that the record was without a flaw and that the committee hal gone back in search of irregularities at the primaries.
 At 10 o'clock Sheriff Murray again took charge of the convention. which vas soon after called to order by Tenn porary Chairmen Ling and shannon. They merely announced tha; the con ference committee had not yet reached an agreement and that a recess would b. taken until 1 o'clock.
 REVOLT AGAINST ORDER.
 At the close Of this session J. l.. E. Alexander me. Sheriff Murray as he descended from the stage and remonstrated with him upon the espionage which he kept on the convention. The sheriff re- piled. though not in precise terms. tha. evil-doers were subject to surveillance though not actually engaged in evi:- doing, and that it was much better tn prevent or repress crime rather than 70 punish the criminals.
 Captain Alexander was mildly joined ir his remOnstrance by Judge Reilly of Tombstone. who said that the sheriff had done worthy thing in putting cown the disorder ;he day before, but

RUMORS IN RECESS.

All kinds or stories found their way out of the room where the conference or credentials committee was hunting for the loose end of the tangled thread. IL was said that the committee had agreed on the one main thing, to be fair. and that it had been all but ad- mitted by the Wilson members that the Maricopa contest was not based on good grounds. However. they did not want to overlook any incident which
 might favor their principal. The rec ord of C. w. Miller secretary of the late county convention. it was said. favored the contestecs. but "nere was a theory that the record had been falSi- fled.

COI Wilson Was on His Way to tbe Stage to Announce His Withdrawal When He Was Stopped by zeaIous Friends and Turned Back Sheriff Murray Released the Convention from Hoe Yesterday on Its Promise to Lead a Different Life-Other Occurrences of the Day.

The Jack Pot has not yet been opened. Neither party succeeded yls-, terday in getting two jacks or better" A good hand was held by the Smith side late last night. but it was subse- nuently ascertained that there had heen a misdeaL So the cards were thrown into the pack and will be snuff fed again this morning.
 As a convention the coming together (, territorial democrats yesterday was bare of interest. The day was taken lip with frequent assemblings at ap- pointed times and as frequent dis persings. The convention was only twice called to order and then only for the purpose of adjourning.
 On all other occasions the disap- pointed crowds went away because somebody or other told them to go, as the committee was not ready.
 A great deal of work was done: that is. there was hard work but nothing very tangible was accomplished. Things occurred of themselves which bring the end apparently In sight, so that it may be reached before noon today and al most certainly before night.
 An incident worthy of mention, NhOu5i u ldS IIO ullctl bcdIlUS uDOH the nomination of either Smith or Wilson was the release by Sheriff Murray of an attachment upon the democratic party In Arizona as repre- sentod in the convention. There was no satisfaction of judgment or no bond. The convention was allowed to go on it's good behavior on it's own racog- n'zance, subject to arrest again a. any time in the event of violation oe its promise
 THE OUTLOOK
 It is difficult to forecast what may happen in a democratic convcntions but there was a more or le prevalent opinion at Il o'clock last night that Mark Smith would be nominated today This prediction is not based upon a Knowledge or even a theory that he has gained any strength, but rather upon a luke of the opposition which has likely weakened 1.-the promised withdrawal of Col. Wilson and his recall of that promise. The only exciting event of the day was that recall in the cOnvcn- ton hall at 10 o'clock last night He was on his way to the stage when he was stopped by his wife and support CTS, and the puzzle was handed back to the committee. It has Eiven promise of sllutiOn this morning.

At last the Wilson men mo.ej out in body and started in the direction of the convention hall. The rluidity of their pace aroused the suspici of the Smith men. Their forces were hastily collected and a move made in the same direction. The progress of the two parties could not be exactly de- scribed as foot race. but it was q splendid imitation of a go-as-you- please walking match. The Smith people were on one side of the street and the Wilson folks on the other. The overflow from both parties walked in the middle of the road and all legiti-
