one can hardly do anything else but con-
crude that the total to be finally reached
will be above 5000.
Judge Mann stated today that in his
opinlon the list would go as high as
hooO. The exact number, of course. will
never be definitely known.
Ihere are no developments which
would lead to the belief that the estimate
OF property loss of $22,,5OO, 900 is too high.
Whlle one occasionally finds business
man whose property has not suffered
greatly, it must be stated that thew are
hope!essly in the minority. The people
are becoming more cheerful every day
ana 1t is more than remarkable to OBJ
serve the composure exhibited by some of
them under the terrible circumstances.
The individuals woe has been lost in the
community's grief and on every hand
may be seen people who have lost their
all doing everything in their power to
comfort nelghbor who perhaps has not
to be doing all there is to do toward ul-
innate rehabilitation and the determina-
ton to build a city which will be bigger
and broader in every way than the one
which has been destroyed appears to be
general.
The people are still leaving the city in
considerable numbers but the relief work
locally has now been gotten down to such
a fine point that 1t is likely that there
will be a marked dimnution of the exo-
dus during the next two or three days.
The fears of an epidemic have been al
layed by the presence and the distribu-
ton of medicines and diSinfectantS and
therefore a feature which would un-
| doubtedly would have had the effect Of
| causing many to seek succor elsewhere,
has been eliminated from the situation.

Galveston Rapidly Rebuilding, But Loss Of
Property and Lives Is Daily Crow
ing Larger.
FEAR OF EPIDEMIC IS GONE
LAB0RERs BEING PAID FOR RELIEF WORK. CONTRIBUTIONS
FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY BEGINNING TO
POUR IN AND DISTRESS is RELIEVED

Galveston. Sept. 1s.-"The situation
continues to improve" is what one is
told now when he applies at any of the
various headquarters for information.
This statement is being made with gra-
tifying monotony all over the city. The
work has been brought down to a busi-
ness basis as far as possible and the
system and order displayed in the vari-
GUS departments would surprise anyone
who might return to Galveston after an
absence of three or four days.
One feature that has caused better
feeling and a more pronounced willing
ness to work is afforded by the fact that
the time of all the laborers employed is
being kept at headquarters. The men,
being assured Of compensation, for their
labor, naturally go about their un-
than heretofore
A thorough inspection reveals the fact
that every department is as well organ
lied as is possible under the circum-
stances and that all are working har-
nloniously.
Supplies and money are now pouring
in from all over the country. 1t is
stated that at least seven figures are
needed to express the amount of cash
thus far received. This is being used
judiciously and the effects of the pres
ence of such a large relief are already
apparent.
The death list will reach the total of
4437 with the additions sent out today.
Only comparatively small number of

ported. After considering all the facts

LOW DOWN OFFICERS.
Order Enlisted Men Searched and Keep
Their Own Plunder.

San Francisco, Sept. 1S.-Chauncey
st. John, deputy surveyor of the port,
has gone to the Mare Island navy yard
to interview certain officers who are al
legged to have trifled with the revenue
laws. The hospital ship Solace, of the
United States navy arrived from China
last Friday. She left just after the loot
ing of Tien Tsin, and on the vessel st.
Johns men discovered big quantity of
dutiable goods.
Not only the enlisted men, but the
officers on board had brought over all
sorts of silks and other fancy stuffs for
themselves and some of their friends.

to turn over whatever goods they had,
but as for themselves the officers would
not submit to search by the custom

use his authority in the matter.

as did in other states, and that he would
be able to meet class of men he always
admired, "the rough and ready heroes of
the west, who were able to hold their
own with the trained athletes who went
with Col. Wood to Cuba to do their coun-
try proud" The governor was sure that
his Montana trip would be an enjoy
able one, and that while he expected to
make many speeches that he would con-
slider the tour much in the nature of rec
reaton and deserved rest.
That Theodore Roosevelt is easily the
popular hero of present times was plain
ly indicated, if the reception here is to
be taken as any criterion. He was almost
fondly met by members of all parties and
his every word was listened to with the
closest attention.
The Glendive uniformed band met the
governor at the train and each member
of the band was received most cordially
and paid especial attention to by the
governor.
One of the old-time ranchers here said:
I'VE ranchers and cowboys are for Ted
dy, to man. We have seen him throw
too many steers and ride too many buck
ing ibronchos to ever think that he would
fall short of any duty which he was call
ed upon to perform" And the cowboys
seemed to think that Roosevelt was the
greatest man Of song or story. When
ever one Of the boys with spurs and
broad-brimmed hat took him by the hand
the governor was sure to tell him tha,
he knew what the life of a plainsman
was and that he esteemed the man who
held the bride or threw the rope OF
words to that effect.
Judging by the visit here, non- partisan
as it was, it is conceded by all that the
sojourn of Colonel Roosevelt in this state
will rebound to the glory of the nation
and to the welfare of the republican
party.
High and low, rich and poor banker
and herdsman, met on an equal level tt

San Juan, and who it still reminding tn,
citizens of this nation of their duty by

DR.. Brown Has Only Discovered the
Cause of Bright's Disease.

New York, Sept. 1S.-A dispatch from
London was published in the United
States on August 20 announcing that the
cause of Bright's disease had been dis
covered by "Dr. Ovid Brown, formerly
of New York, and now of Rome.'' DIR.
William Ovid Moore, late of New York
and now of Rome, asks that a correc-
ton be made. He says:
''At the last international medical con-
gress a paper was read by DIR. William
Ovid Moore. giving an account of his
discovery of the mysterious poison which
causes the symptoms in Bright's disease

and succeeded in getting away from the

their lives. There were twenty-four

accident was caused by the men who
loaded the vessel putting so many heavy
coal cars on one side that the water

This change is greeted with enthusiasm
BY the workers, who argue that the in

grows that this method of settling the
strike will finally be adopted though the
mine owners declare they will deal only
with their employees as individuals and
the strike leaders say they will insist
upon formal recognition of the union.
This difference would appear sufficiently
strong to keep employer and employe
apart forever If persisted in.

EXPRESS COMPANIES WIN.
Nota Unanimous Opinion by the Supreme
Court.

Nota Unanimous Opinion by the Supreme
Court.
Washington, April 1S.-The supreme
court decided the cases involving the
stamp tax as it applies TO express
packages, the question involved being
whether the shipper or the carrier
shall pay the express charges on pack
ages. The opinion was favorable to
the express companies. There were
two cases before the court involving
the question, but the opinion was
based on case from Michigan, which
came to the supreme court from the
decision of the state supreme court
adverse to the claims of the express
companies.
Quoting the section of the law i'm
posing the tax upon express company
receipts, Justice White said:
There is nothing in this provision
which by the widest conjecture can be
construed as expressly forbidding the
person upon whom the taxes are cast
from shifting the same by contract or
by any other lawful means"
Justices Harlan and McKenna dis
sented from the opinion on the ground
that the war revenue act imposed
upon the express company the duty
not only of affixing at its own expense
the required stamp upon any receipt
issued by it to shipper, but of can
ceiling such stamp"
