GALVESTON'S NEEDS.

Galveston, Sept. 1.-The following statement of conditions at Galveston and appeal for aid is issued by the To- cal relief committee:
 A conservative estimate of the loss of life is that it will reach 5000; at least 5000 families are shelterless and wholly destitute. The entire remain der of the population is suffering in q greater or less degree Not a single church school or charitable institution. of which Galveston had so many. is left intact. Not a building escaped damage and half the whole number were entirely obliterated. There is inn mediate need of clothing. food and household goods of all kinds. If near by cities will open asylums for women and children the situation will be greatly relieved. Coast cities should send us water as well as provisions, in cluding kerosene oil. gasoline and candles"

THE LAST BATTLE
The Smith-Wilson Foes Slept on
 Their Arms.

All persons who are not adverse to bloodshed are invited to be present at Doris theater at 10 o'clock this morn ing. All the excitement and none of the expense of a bull fight is promised. It is agreed on all sides that there will be an interesting time. In fact there is no way in which a close encounter may be avoided between the Smith and Will son factions. The contest raised by the Wilson people involves a question of veracity and it is likely that the lie will be passed more or less politely several times during the proceedings
 No forecast of the result can be af- forded from this office or from any where else on earth unless from the lips of certain Wilson delegates who have not yet unlocked their lips. The friends of Colonel Wilson resident in Phoenix say that the foreign delegates will be as faithful to him in any em- ergency which can possibly arise as the warmest of his local partisans
 An effort was made last night to reach some sort of an understanding which would tighten the work today, but as a Smith delegate said: They (meaning the Wilson delegates) wouldn't listen to reason but shut their eyes and closed their ears and are com ing on with their heads down below ing
 Some hope was built by the Smith folks upon the probable course of the Mohave delegation which. though it had been instructed for Wilson. was
 
 him through the Maricopa contest The MOhave delegation arrived early yes terday morning in the inside pocket of a single man who. it was announced last night, would stay with Wilson until the last card had been played. A part of the Gila delegation is in town, but what that county will do has not been made public, nor is it known what the Wilson delegates from Apache and Navajo will do. If they all stand to- gether the Maricopa delegation will be unssated.
 It has been suggested that in the in terest of an appearance of fairness, the convention may admit all the members of both MaricOpa delegations. with half vote each. That would let Mr Smith down easier, but let him down, just as far. The Smith people are by no means discouraged. They say the con- vention today will be nothing more than a ratification of the proceedings of one week ago.
 Most of the Democrtic political lead CTS of the territory are already in town. Besides those mentioned in previous catalogues, there are Ben Crawford of Morenci. Dr. CT ool of Globe, M. J. Nugent of Yul II. G. Samaniego, Harry Drachmo .. "Sam Drachman. Judge Barnes and s. Y. Barkley, of Tucson. J. B. Jones of Williams, E. F. EIlinwood of Flagstaff, and conspicuous among them all the tall and unfamiliar form of Frank McClintock of San Do | mingO.

The statement just compiled also refutes the popular fallacy that the water transportation of grain in tha great lakes districc constitutes almost exclusively a direct traffic between Chicago and Buffalo.

The neighboring point of West Superior Wis, stands next to Duluth, having shipped 1,9l1.649 bush els during July, and 5,239,051 during the season. Chicago heads the list in corn shipments, her total for July be- ing 6,533, ,526 bushels and for the season 24, 421 .335 bushels. In shipmerts of barley and oats.
