Dallas, Tex. Sept. 9.-All Texas
is in the keenest state of doubt
and uncertainty tonight concerning
the fate of Galveston island and
city. In eyerybody's mind is the
fear that an awful calamity rests
behind the lack of information
from the gulf coast. 1t is rumored
here that immense destruction has
befallen Galveston and other
places.
1t is stated that the bridges lead
ing from the mainland to the is
land have been swept away by the
terrible force of the wind and the
rolling up of the waters of the
bay. These bridges are four in
number-three for railroad use and
the other for the Galveston county

bridge. 1t seems hardly credible
that all these bridges could be
swept away without the city suf.

American Troops now In China, go to

Washington acts First on Its
iAnnounced Withdrawal.

washington, sept 9.-lt IS
stated tonight on excellent
authority that this government
has decided 10 withdraw the
American troops from Pekin, and
that after a short rest at Tien-
Tsin these troops will be trans
fered to the PHILIPPINES.
This action it is said, is to be
taken in pursuance of the terms
of the American note to the Pow
ers and the agreement with Rus
sia, whose troops will also be
withdrawn.
Washington, Sept, 9.-Orders
have been cabled to General
Chaffee to prepare his forces for
withdrawal from Pekin. Further
than that the War Department
has taken steps to have at Taku
a sufficient number of United
States transports to remove
these troops to the PHILIPPINES as
soon as they reach the port.
These orders are preparatory
and do not necessarially indicate
that our Government has decid-
ed finally upon a withdrawal
from China. 1t is simply placing
itself in a position to carry out
the pledge conveyed in the reply
to the Russian note in the
language.
"The result of these consider
ations is that unless there is
such a general expression by the
Powers in favor of continued Oc'
cupation as 10 modify the views
expressed by the Government OF
Russia and lead to a general
agreement for continued occupa
ton we shall give instructions tc
the American forces in China tC
withdraw our troops from Pekir
after due conference with the
other commanders as to the time
and manner of withdrawal. "
Up to the present moment oul
Government has not changed it:
policy in this matter of with
drawing troops. 1t has givel
the subject much consideration
since the original note was writ
ten, but at all times there ha
been kept steadily in time tn
propriety of removing the Amer
lean troops from China as sool
| as this could be neconsistently
1t is intimated that the prOspec
for securing these object
through completely harmOniou
action by the Powers is bright
, enlng every day.
1t is felt that this is a time TO
compromise positions, as be
tween the Russian and Germa
designs in China, and such prop
, ositions now from the substanc
of nearly all the diplomatic eS
E changes which are in daily prog
l ress. The continuance of quie
in Pekin, tending to reassure th
Chinese officials, is believedto to b
rapidly fastening negotiation
for a final settlement.

Paving and Sewerage
Thoroughly Investigated
BY Street Committee Estimated Cost
will be Sl3,OOO-AIl Work to be
Done by Contract.

The city's street committee, COM
posed of Messrs. viii Thompson, w.
S. Siers and w. B. Wilkinson, and
city engineer, c. o. Findlay, returned
Monday night from an inspection tour
for the purpose of getting information
concerning sewerage and paving.
They visited Parkersburg, Wheeling,
Sistersville and Moundsville and thor
oughly inspected the systems Of those
cities. They found Sistersville TO be
the best paved city among them and
were particularly impressed with that
citys economical water works system.
After various consultations and con-
ferences with civil engineers and prac-
tica plumbers and PAYERS, they de-
cldcd to and did employ G. L. Milhr,
civil engineer of Wheeling, and G. o.
Flndlay TO make plans and specitica-
tions for sewerage and paving Of the
entire city at a cost of $3.50. These
will show in detail the depth Of sewers
at every point and the number Of
manholes and flushing tanks, etc OF
every street and alley, requisite to
complete systems.
The committee also secured an esti-
mate of the cost Of paving and sewer
ing the central portion of the city,
beginning at the Walker House, run
ming west on Pike to Fourth, thence
on Fourth to Main and thence east on
Main to the First Presbyterian church
corner. The estimate they have for
this work is $4,000.
Their report to be submitted Friday
night practically consists of the above
information and data and they expect
to advertise for bids at once. The
plans and specifications will be ready
for bidders inspection in two weeks.
All work will be let to contract.

With the new year all the official
clocks in France are to mark the

night, the old system of 1 to II H.
and i to II p. N. being abandoned.
Various continental railways have
used this plan for some time, partly
for convenience in their metables,
and it is said people readily accustom
themselves to If. The probability is
in France that the weight of official
uthority will procure for it general
acqsliescence. This country and Eng
land would resist the change, in a
spirit Eof hostility, but because the
people naturally cling to long-estab-
lished customs. For example, the
advantages of the metric system are
universally acknowledged, but am ong
English-speaking people it is merely
tolerated as theory and makes little

The Chicago Drainage Canal.

The immense canal which is to
carry off the filth of Chicago and
dump it finally into the Mississippi
river was opened up on last week not
outstanding the objections of the
people of st. Louis, who insist that
they object to having the dirt of
Chicago dumped into the Mississippi,
but Chicago is going to do it just the
same.
This canal from Chicago to the IL
linois river, which EN- plies in the
Mississippi, is one Of the most stu
pendous undertakings of the age
No other city than Chicago would
ever have dared to undertake il, but
Chicago is city that dares to un
dertake anything. Tt is probable
that the canal will be more than a
mere channel TO carry off the sewage
of the city of Chicago. It viii be-
come a great commercial waterway
between the lakes and the AIississip-
pi river.
