ROBERTS TAKES THE RAILWAY
Beers Fly from Vet River - Kruger to
Proceed to Europe.


Cape Town, Sept. 1.-THE military
authorities have taken over the Meth
erlands railway. General Macdonald,
operating in the northeastern corner Of
Orange Colony, compelled the Beers
to make hasty fight from the Vet
river. He captured thirty wagons,
a quantity Of cattle and stores and
$4,000 rounds of rifle ammunition.
News from Lord Roberts at Macho-
dOcorp is that General French took a
shortcut over the mountains to Bar
berton Thursday, surprising the Beers,
who, however, except about 100, got
away. He captured what was more
important than Beers in forty three To-
cOmOtives and other rolling stock,
which Roberts has great need Of, es-
pecially the locomotives.
Lisbon, Sept. 1.-THE Portuguese
government has telegraphed to the gov
ernor of Mozambique authorizing the

take all precautions to safeguard the
personal security of Kruger.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 13.-For gov

John L. Norton, of Rensselaer,; comp
troller, Edwin S. Atwater, of Duchess;

The platform begins with pledging
the Democracy of New York anew to
the principles and policies of Jefferson
ian Democracy and indorsing the plat
form adopted by the last Democratic
national convention. 1t makes 1.-The
burning issue" that of Imperialism and
ratifies and indOrses "the nomination
for the presidency of William J. Bry-
an, q statesman of undoubted patroit-
ism and independence, enjoying in a
marked degree the confidence of his
fellow citizens. Relative to trusts the

Chang has arrived ut Tientsin.
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE Chinese
minister has received a dispatch from
Prince Ching, dated Pekin, Sept. 8,
stating that he has been clothed with
full authority, together with Ii Hung
Chang, to negotiate peace and request
ing Minister WI to ask the secretary
of state to instruct Minister COnger
to open negotiations at once. Minister
WI has taken the dispatch to the state
department.
Washington, Sept. 17.-Minister WI
was again an early caller at the state
department during the day and spent
nearly an hour in conference with Act
ing Secretary Adee. He notified Mr..
Adee verbally of the appointment Of
Yung Lu as an envoy, but had no fur
Their information to communicate. He
was rather in search of news himself,
and was much interested in short dis
patch from Minister Conger describing
the conditions in Pekin. The state de-
partment, while declining to make this
message public, authorizes the state
ment that the dispatch indicated that
no change had taken place in pOliti-
cal conditions in Pekin.
Russia has not yet officially notified
our government of any change in it's
programme as to the evacuation of Pc
kin. In fact, nothing has been heard
from Russia on this point since the
United States reply was returned,
save one short note explanatory Of
some obscure points in the first Rus
sian communication. 1t is probable
that this absence of further commune
cation on this subject is to be ex-
planned by the fact that the Russian
government does not confess to any
change in its original programme. 1t
merely gives a different Interpretation
to the details of that programme from
the understanding obtained abroad.
The United States government is fol-
lowing precisely the same course as
to It's own note and reply, so that the
effect of these diplomatic actions is
to leave the military commanders Of
both the United States and Russia at
Pekin practically free to determine
for themselves the propriety OF evacu-
alton, according to the conditions Of
the agreement.
Since the first manifestation months
ago Of disposition on the part of the
naval commanders of some of the
powers at Taku to interfere with the
movements of Ii Hung Chang, our
government has been advised of no
further opposition to his projected
trip to Pekin. Consequently, officials
here are puzzled by certain press dis
patches indicating that he may be de-
tanned through international jealOusies
at the mouth Of the Yangtse. If this
report should prove true, 1t would only
go to confirm the fears of the admins
tration as to the possibility of an in
ternational conflict at almost any mo-
ment

the Observation-Disclosures of tho Loss.
Galveston, Sept. 1.-THE great i'm
mediate need of the city at present is
money-not subscriptions, but cold,
hard cash. 1t is needed in every d.
rection and for a multitude of purposes.
The most important of these is to pay
the men who are cleaning up the
streets, which work must be done and
done quickly if a pestilence is to be
averted.
The waters of the gulf cover about
100000 square feet of ground that
was formerly part of Galveston.
This loss has been suffered entirely ON
the south side of the city, where the
finest residences were built facing the
gulf and where land was held at a
higher valuation than in any other part
of the city with the exception of the
business district. For three miles
along the shore of the gulf this choice
residence property extended, but the
shore line was so changed by the
storm that at low tide the water is $50
feet higher along the entire three miles.
Estimates of the loss of life vary
One writer says: 1T is beyond all pos
sibility that any actual count will ever
be had: but the best evidence obtain
able, allowing for those bodies which
have been cast up by the waters after
being once thrown into the gulf and
twice counted, and for the number that
were carried out to sea and will never
be heard of, shows that a total of list
of the dead cannot be far from 3,000
and is under that figure rather than
over it,"
Again l.. j. Workman, writing for
the Galveston News, says: "It is diff
ficult to go into detail, either as to
property or life. No man in Galveston
island can do that now with accuracy,
and 1t is doubtful If this can ever be
done. There are, or were. 10000 peO-
pie on Galveston island when the hur-
ricane cam, up. What the assessed
property valuation was do not know,
but IL was larger than that of any city
in Texas. Many men in whose judg-
ments / can have naught but conf
dence tell me that not less than one
third of the property value of Gal
weston was swallowed up in the grind
ing storm and flood. No man looking
on the scene will question this esti-
mate. He is more likely to advance
it. Certainly not less than 5000 lives
have been destroyed, and twice that
number made homeless"

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 17.-Yester-
day a week gloom, desolation and
despair prevailed in this storm-t torn
city. Yesterday hope and determina-
ton seized the people; they realized
that the task before them was gigantic,
yet with the generous aid that is flow
ing to them in broad stream from all
parts of the civilized world and their
own indominable purpose the sick and
wounded will be healed, the destitute
relieved, and the recuperation of Gal
weston will be speedy and the city will
be rebuilt and placed ON more endur-
ing foundation, and her commercial
career started anew. Such is the spirit
displayed by this .grievously stricken
people.
Nobody Is Complaining.
You can hear no complaining, no ex-
preston of want of confidence, but
only of hope, zeal and determination,
and this is eXemplified by the vigorous
enterprise visible on every hand. AL
though yesterday was Sunday work
was being pushed under a systematic
plan of operation that was rapidly
bringing order out of chaos. The search
for and burial or cremation of the I'M
fortunate victims within the corporate
limits was rapidly prosecuted by a
large force in organized squads under
military direction. Down the island
and on the mainland the work of in
terring the dead is conducted with the
same system. LoOting and the desecra-
ton of corpses have ceased since the
military have assumed charge of af-
fairs, and they are cooperating har-
ANONYMOUSLY with the civil authorities.
