STATEMENT BY GOV. SAVERS
WHO SAYS THERE Is SUFFICIENT
FOR IMMEDIATE WANTS.
Galveston, He Believes, VIII Soon Re-
sumo It's Normal Position i'm
Ommercfal Life.

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept 14.-To-night Gov
ernor Sayers stated to an Associated Press
correspondent that the work of relieving
the food sufferers was making excellent
progress. He said:
Most generous contributions are coming
in from all parts of the country, sufficient
ly large to relieve the immediate wants
as to food and clothing, and I'm the mean
time the people of Galveston are recover
ing themselves, and 1 have no hestancy
in expressing the firm conviction that a
strong reaction from almost a mortal blow
TO the city has already set in and that in
a short while the city will be in a condi-
tion to resume its normal and progressive
position in commercial life. After a full
conference to-day with an authorized COM
mittee from Galveston, / am more than
convinced that the people there will be
able. with the assistance already given
to handle the situation successfully"
During the day the Governor received
quite large number of subscriptions and
it is estimated that the total subscrip-
ton list to date, here and at Galveston
will reach 81, 900. Governor Sayers states
that as soon as possible he will prepare
list of subscriptions by States and give it
out. During the day Governor Sayers
ordered trainload of provisions to be sent
from Dallas TO Galveston under guard. to
prevent any possible interruption by
marauders, and also ordered provisions and
clothing sent from San Antonio.
1t has been decided that instead of look
ing TO the laboring people of Galveston
for work in this emergency that an i'm
portation of outside laborers TO the num-
ber of 2,000 should be made to conduct the
sanitary work, while the people of Calves
ton We're given an opportunity of looking
after their own losses and rebuilding their
own property without giving any time to
the city at large. Ii is believed that with
the work of these two thousand outside
laborers 1t will require about four weeks
TO clean the city of debris. and i'm the
meantime the citizens can be working on
their own property and repairing damage
there.
During the day Governor Sayers received
information from the penitentary authori-
ties at the convict farm on Clemens plan
tation, near Velasco. that eighteen convicts
had been drowned or killed during the
storm. and two others were badly injured.
The penitentiary officials estimate that the
farms of the State have been injured to
the extent of 100000.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-According to the

a prisoner in the residence of the district
Governor. This is at the instance of the
British consul, who protested against Mr..
Kruger using Portuguese territory a
base for directing his executive. The
French consul has been forbidden access to
Mr. Kruger, as have also the latters own
officials. The district Governor has notified
Herr Pott, the Netherlands consul that he

Change in the
Journals Price

The publishers of the Journal an
nounce to the public that on and
after tomorrow, Sept. 10, the pa
per will be furnished to subscribers
at a much reduced price, the par
ticulars of which will be found
elsewhere in this issue. The pa
irons of the paper are assured that
the standard of the Journal will
not be lowered nor its character
changed in any respect, except for
the better. 1t will continue to be,
as it long has been, the leading pa
per in Indiana and one of the best
in the country. Renewed efforts
will be made to keep it in the front
rank of reliable newspapers. Its
record is better than glowing prom
ises.
The Journals ambition is to COW
er the State as no morning paper
has ever covered it. It is unneces-
sary to say to those who read the
Journal that it has always been the
advocate of the interests of every
section of Indiana.
The Journal will not deviate from
its policy in the past. 1t is and
will be Republican because it be-
lieves in Republicanism. WSen it
comes to the news il will seek to
give its readers all that is impor-
tant from day to day. 1t will not be
sensational, but it will strive to
give all the news that's fit to print
and is worth the attention of intel
ligent people.
This reduction is made because
the Journal is willing to share with
its friends the prosperity that has
attended its efforts to acceptably
serve them, because its circulation
has reached point where it's own
ers can afford it, and because of a
belief that such action is sound
business policy.

Bryan's Prophecies of Four Years Ago
shown to Have Been False.

ORTONVILLE, Mimi, Sept 1i-This
place was reached at o'clock by Governor
Roosevelt. Here more speechmaking fol-
lowed. and in the rain Governor Roosevelt
In part spoke as follows;
what we have done during the past
four years has been this: We have tried
to put the dollar within the reach of the
man and have IL worth a hundred cents
when he got hold of it. We have the right
TO appeal to you on two grounds: In the
first place, upon the ground that our per-
formances have squared with our promises;
second, upon the ground that our oppo-
nents have made prophecies that came false
four years ago. You cannot recollect all
of them. Mr.. Bryan prophesied again and
again at Minneapolis. at New York. where
he addressed the noble band of perform
ers. Tammany Hall and at indianapolis
vote the Republican ticket times will be
harder and harder Again, II you vote
for the gold standard you vote for four
more years of hard times And again. If
you vote for the gold standard the farmer
will find that the prices of his products will
grow steadily lower Again. If you vote
for the gold standard the wage-worker
will find that he stands idle more and
more Again. If you vote the Republican
ticket the business men will find that the
number of failures will increase and the
amount of bank deposits will decrease
Now, | ask you not 10 take my word
for 1t, but TO think OF your own expert
ence and compare how things actually
were; how the conditions We're in your own
State. and in your towns, with what Mr.
Bryan prophesied. and at the same time
look over his speeches and see what he
said four years ago, and see III things
have come out as he promised they would
So / ask you to support because we
have kept our word.
II do not care how honest and brave a
man is If he is a natural born fool he is
not worth anything under heaven. You

WASHINGTON, Sept. H.-h HunS
Chang left Shanghai for Peking to-day.
This was the news received here this after
noon. The Chinese treaty commissioners.
as now announced, are Ii Hung Chang,
Prince Ching and General Yung Lu- The
latter commanded the imperial troops In
Peking during the siege OF the legations
and is believed to be responsible for the ex-
ecution of two members Of the Yamen. who
opposed the attacks on the foreign min
listers. Yung is known TO be violently anti
foreign. 1t is probably for this very reason
that he has been selected as one OF the
treaty commissioners. His being a party
TO the negotiations will tend to reconcile
the anti-foreign element among the Chit
nese to the result. Ching is favorably dis
posed toward the foreigners. Ii is better
acquainted with the strength and resources
of Europe and the United States than
either of his colleagues and better, per-
haps than any OF his countrymen, realizes
the comparative weakness of the Chinese
empire and the necessity of a speedy set
tlement of the difficulties IL China Is TO
retain its independence and remain some-
thing more than a mere geographic ex-
preston. 1t looks now as though the pow
ers will continue the military occupation
of Peking until the new treaty has been
made and ratified, Withdrawing their dip
lcmatic representatives. however, until
such time as their services may be re-
quired, the absence OF the Chinese govern
ment leaving them nobody with whom
they can deal at this time.

word from the State Department as TO
the next step expected of the troops but
IL is now intimated that this next step
will not be taken Immediately. The situa-
ton has lost something of its acuteness.
owing to the change in the attitude OF
the Russian government. Regardless, how
ever, of the course TO be taken by Russia.
il is now said there is nothing in the
American response that demands an inn
mediate evacuation I'm the event that the
Russian troops are called away. Instead.
il is stated that tn control OF the sitra-
ton would simply pass from the State
Department into General chaffee's hands.
and IL would be for him. after conferring
with the other military commanders. TO de-
termine when and how and to what extent
the American forces should be withdrawn
He might choose his own time. and I'm a
degree his position would be similar TO that
occupied by him in the advance upon Pc
king so far as having a free hand is con-
cerned.
The Postoffce Department is arranging
for an efficient mail service for the army In
China. Its representative. Mr.. Robinson.
arrived at Taku two days ago and dis
patch was received from him to-day say
ing he was only waiting General chaffee's
orders TO establish his headquarters.

Additional Names OF Persons killed or
Drowned at Galveston.

HOUSTON. Tex. Sept I.--There are
really few prominent names in the Iist of
dead from Galveston Most OF them are
people who were not well known outside
their own circle of acquaintances. The
class OF people who are dead were working
people. small tradesmen and small profess
sional men and their families The reason
for this is plain. inasmuch as the greatest
force OF the hurricane was exerted against
the East End. West End and water front
while in the center OF the city where the
people OF greater prominence lived. there
was not so much loss OF life Following is

ALL THE ISSUES DISCUSSED
w. j. BRYAN AGAIN SHOWN TO BE A
FALSE PROPHET.
Attention Called to His Predictions of
Commercial Disaster Made
Four Years Ago.

WEBSTER, S. D., Sept. 1.-THE special
train with the Roosevelt party was met
at the station here by an enthusiastic
gathering. Governor Roosevelt spoke from
the rear platform and said in part:
There is such a thing as honest opposi-
ton, and there is a kind of opposition
that is merely for the sake of opposing.
We nave among our opponents many men
who honestly object to our policy. Take
them as a party and you know what they
would have done. Ii we had done as they
have opposed us for doing in. the Philip
pines, they would have proclaimed
having abandoned our duty and would
have been running Mr. Bryan now so as
to get the Philippines back. During the
gloomy days of "a, in order to overcome
the enemies of the Republic under arms,
you had to uphold the hands of Abraham
Lincoln, and, as you remember WELL no
defeat that could have been inflicted on
the national armies I'm the field would have
been as disastrous to the cause OF the
Republic as the defeat of Lincoln at the
polls. Yet at that time the party whose
political heirs and assigns Mr.. Bryan Is,
was denouncing Abraham Lincoln in terms
which make the language used by our op-
ponents about President Mckinley seem
like praise They used the vilest language
in describing him personally; they accused
him of the desire to be an emperor; they
had not invented the term of imperialist
at that time; they just called him plain
emperor. The language of their denuneia-
tion was that II we were successful We
would meet amid the ruins Of the Consti-
tuition and the wreck of our liberties. Now
thirty-five years afterward, our opponents
have gained wisdom. They have not
caught up entirely, but they have pro-
gressed. If Mr.. Bryan lives, as l hope he
will, for thirty-ive years. for / wish him
well-in private life-I have not the least
doubt that he will be quoting Mckinley at
that time with TIE same approval that he
now quotes Lincoln
Short stops were made at Summit and
Mills, and brief talks were made at each
stop by Governor Roosevelt and other
members of the party.
