HOUSTON. Tex. Sept l3.-Houstor
is now the haven of the unfortunate
people of Galveston. Trains have al.
ready brought in between eight hun

bareheaded, barefooted. hatless and
coatless, with swelled feet and bruised
and blackened bodies and heads were
numerous.
Women Of wealth and refinement.
frequently hntless and shoeless. with
gowns IN shreds, were among the re-
fugees. Sometimes there would be a
man. wife and child or two. but these
eases were rare nearly all OF those who
came in having suffered the loss Of one
or more mcmbers Of their family.
Never were there so many sad hearts.
Men bereft OF their wives and children:
women who were widowed; children
who were parentless--it was enough to
touch the heart Of any one. and it did
so.
Never was there more heroism shown.
Although week ago these people had
haDDy homes. they are now homeless
and penniless. They bore up bravely
True they all wore sad expressions. but
there was no whlmpering; no compain-

BoERs CONTINUE FIGHTING.
Flight of ofic.als Has Not stopped
the War.


LONDON. Sept. 15.--Lord Roberts re-
rorts from Machadodorp under date Of
Wednesday. September 70. that General
French was heavily engaged that day
with the Beers in the hills west Of Bar
berton and that General Hutton bad
gone to General French's support.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1s--A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The closing scenes Of the protracted
campaign in South Africa tend TO IL
lustrate the truth that without neu-
tral base the Beers are helpless. If
the British government had allowed
President Kruger to purchase Delagoa
Ray when he was anxious to do so he
would not now have a place of refuge
in the present emergency nor would his
presence there be a source of uncertain
ty respecting the possibility of his re-
turn to the Transvaal. The purchase
of the neutral base ten years ago would
probably have prevented the outbreak
Of war, since the Beers have depended
from the outset upon having the door
open for their own gold to go out and
for supplies to come in. and also upon
having a bridge for retreat when they
were in the last ditch.
The news. however. is still too inde-
cisive to Justify premature talk about
last ditch. Butler is pressing on
after Botha over the mountains but
has captured abandoned stores rather
than commandoes in arms. and French
is still long way from Kumallpoort.
The official record Of the operations con-
Quoted by Generals Methuen, Barton
and Hildyard and the generals in the
Free State proves that the territories
occupied are swarming with guerillas
and discontented Beers who are un-
willing to abandon the struggle.
This is one of the worst features OF
the situation. Resentments caused by
the campaign are bitter and the oppo-
sition to British rule will have to be
stamped out by strenuous and rigorous
nolice work during long period.
The political effect Of the reports OF
President Krugers retreat from the
Transvaal have been instantaneous.
The rumors Of the dissolution Of par
lament at an earlier date than pre-
vious reports have Indicated are al
ready in the air.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1S.-The cri-
sis 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 object OF attention.
The order to General Chaffee to leave
at once. which was expected in some
quarters. did not issue today, instead.
earnest efforts are making to arrange
preliminaries for negotiations which are
expected finally to settle the Chinese
troubles.
Ii Hung Chang's message today re-
moved perhaps the last obstacle to
speedy beginning of these negotia-
tions, and the only doubt that now
exists is as TO his ability to redeem
his pledge to protect American inter-
ests and stop the outrages on mission
aries and native converts. If he can
DO this and thus manifest the exist
ence of de facto government. there
Is no reason to doubt that negotiations
win be Immediately in order.

evacuate Pekin until some arrange
ments have been made for the installa-

cision is adhered to, It certainly viii

EARLY MORNING BLAZE.

An early morning blaze out on
Maple street, corner of 14th, caused
lot of shooting as an alarm this
morning at o'clock.
The house proved to belong to
Grandma" Collins, a widow lady
who has lived in the house for twen-
ty years.
The residence was soon consumed
as there was no way to fight fire ex-
cept by bucket, aud with this kind
of fire apparatus and insurance pol
icies, no one thinks to over-exert
themselves at fire, but stand of
and watch the flames as if it were a
panorama.
Mrs Collins said to the reporter
when he asked her the origin of the
fire: 81 was up with my sick
daughter, Mrs, Hickey, who lives
with me, and went into a closet t.
get some meal to make a poultice
and l must have left the lamp in
there, as the fire seemed to origi
nate in that quarter OF, the house.
Mrs. Collins said she had a small
amount of insurance on the build
ing, but she did not think it enough
to rebuild as good house as wa
burned down,
The neighbors gathered at tb,
house and saved most of the furni
ture and all of the wearing apparel

Once or twice a year the good house
wife has a thorough house cleaning. The
house has been swept and busted every
day in the year, but the housewife knows
that in spite of vigilance dust accumu-
lates in cracks and corners, and is only
to be removed by special effort.
It's the same way with the body. You
look after it every day. You take all
the ordinary precautions OF cleanliness
and health. Yet the body needs its
special cleaning to nd it of the accumu-
lations of waste and poisonous matter
which invite disease. Doctor Pierce's

larly once or twice year, would save
many sickness. 1t purifes the blood,
