for the Texas STERN Survivors
GALVESTON, Sept, 15,-The commit
tee OF citizens appointed by the general
committee TO visit Governor Sayers and
confer with him in regard to the re-
lief measures for that city, returned this
morning. They report that the Governor
is well pleased with the present ar
rangement for carrying on ths re ief
work tiis
All funds viii pass through the hands
of the local finance committee which is
composed of prominent business men
detailed account viii be kept of all re
ceipts and expenditures, so that it may
be known how every cent of the money
that is received was distributed.
1t is estimated that four millions Of
dollars will be needed to take care OF the
twenty-five thousand needy people of the
city and to place the city in fit sanitary
condition for habitation. All of this sum
will be needed in Galveston. 1t is esti-
mated that there there are twenty thou
sand destitute and suffering people in the
smaller towns and country districts OF
the storm-swept territory of the main
and, and a fund will be required to take
care of them. Probably FIVE millions OF
dollars would not be too much for the
whole work. A plan Is being matured for
taking care of the widows and orphans
by a special fund such as was done at
Johnstown, Pa. after the flood there in
1889.
The committee which returned this
that
buttons are coming from all classes OF
PEOPLE throughout the United States and
from European countries. They estimate
that fully two millions of dollars viii have
been raised by tonight and it may greatly
exceed that amount
The difficulty of transporting the food
supply and clothing to this city from the
end of the railroad on the mainland has
not yet been removed It is found that
/ the larger draft vessels cannot get
through the channel to this city and the
/ supplies Will either have to be brought
! over in smaller boats or a deeper channel
used.
The Galveston Government revenue cut
! ter was still aground this morning, but it
is thought she will soon be gotten off.
I The supplies which she has on board are
/ badly needed here. Another line of boats
will be put on today 10 ply between the
city and point jGst below Houston.
TrainIoads of food and clothing are pour
ing into Houston from All parts of the
/ State and country. They are being rushed
forward to the mainland coast as fast as
the railroads can handle them.

the punitixe expedition commanded by
General nerward has occupied Till and
met with no opposition there
The three columns of troops, after two
days march found that the city had al
ready surrendered to an officer and eight
men of the Bengal Laneers.
Upon the arrival of his men, General
Dorward ordered that the town should
be looted and burned as a lesson to the
Boxer element among the Chinese at that
place.
The allies were most gratified with the
signs Of Submission while they were en-
route to Til. Most OF the villages through
which the international forces passed
made peace offerings to the foreigners and
a majority of them were spared from the

ty and repentance
According to General Forwards obser-
yations en- route, the Boxers have as a
rule disbanded and the country has re-
sumed a moderately peaceful condition.

FEW coLoRED VICTIMS.
Most of the Galveston Negroes Saved
From the Storm.

GALVESTON, Sept 15--As the work Of
relief and search for dead bodies here
progresses, the fact is discovered that re
markably few colored people persisted IN
the storm Most of them lived in colony
in the lower part of the city in insecure
houses. When the water from the Gulf
began to rise, they abandoned their
homes and took refuge with the families
of white people for whom they worked or
were acquainted. One wealthy white fam
lily here took in over thirty negroes In
the early part of the storm and all of
them were saved. The negroes are still
being fed and housed by white people.
1t seems that the negroes have natu-
raj sense OF the danger and they got TO
places of safety much quicker than the
white people. For this reason. few ne
groes are among those bodies recovered.
Another curious fact is that the frame
houses stood the storm much better than
the rock and brick houses.
