THOUSAND MEN AT WORK.

Galveston, Sept. Pa thousand
men went to work yesterday cleaning
streets and the beach front of debris
and dead bodies. Each ward was pre-
sided over by boss in charge Of work.
men in that ward. Gov. Sayres will
arrive today to confer with the central
relief committee. The storm swept
away a great many caskets which had
been placed in the vaults of the city
cemeteries. Among the missing cask-
cts is that which contained the remains
of Chas. Coghlan, the actor, who died
here Nov. 81 last. The Galveston
News says the list of dead from the
storm represents total of 1859 names.
Indications are that not more than
1000 people will be actually accounted
for. The News is of the opinion the
death list on the island will be slightly
below rather than above 5000. Close
observers at Galveston are still esti-
mating the death list on the island as
high as 1000.

he was always an anti-slavery man in
feeling, and left the democrats when

state convention at Bloomington. He
ran for congress in 1859, but was de-
feated. In 1860 he was a republican
presidential elector for the state at

feated, the first time by Charles B.

ocrats for president

PARIS, Nov. S.-After several hours of

1t appeared more than once highly PERIL
Gus for the Cabinet. Two Incidents that
were imported into the debate particularly
threatened the position OF the Ministers.
These were the extradition Of SipidO, the
youth who attempted to kill the Prince
OF Wales in Brussels. and a speech lately

lister Of Commerce, in favor of collective
principles

Government
NJ Monis. Minister Of Justice. defended
Sipido's extradition, declaring that it was
not for the crime OF which Sipido Vas
accused, but in virtue of the Franco-Bel-
CLAN convention CT 1885, which provided
that each nation should surrender to the
other refugee minors who had acted with
out discretion.
NJ. Sembat's amendment was adopted by

censuring the Minister of Justice.
Another amendment repudiating all col

Jon. and the Chamber adopting it by
vote Of 257 to ga passed a direct censure
on the Socialist Minister Of Commerce.
These results raised tumult. the Centre
and Right loudly cheering. Nevertheless.
the Government triumphed. A number Of
additions and amendments having been va
riously accepted and rejected amid much
noise and excitement, NJ. Auge made mo-
ton that "the Chamber relies upon the
Government for policy OF republican ac-

which would diminish its value
The first par: OF this was carried by
vote OF 321 to 24s, and vote was then
taken on the order of the day. expressing
confidence In the Government, with the re-
suit set forth above. The victory was due
to the f1rmnese of Prime Minister Waldeck-
Rousseau. who consistently refused to ac-f
cept any vote that was not for the whole
