There is such thing as honest opposi-

uphold the hands Of Abraham Lincoln. and,
as you remember well, no defeat could
have been inflicted on the national armies
in the field which would have been as dis
astrous to the cause of the republic as the
defeat of Lincoln at the polls.
Yet at that time the party whose polt-

MANY BODIES STILL IN RUINS
Work Of Clearing Up the Wreck

NEW BRIDGE TO BE BUILT

HOUSTON, Tex, September 14.-The
Post today prints list of 2,701 names Of
the Galveston dead compiled from various
sources, but believed to be authentic. There
were hundreds Of bodies burned, buried at
sea and In the sand of which no identifica-
ton was possible; there were other hum
dreds who were buried on the beach of the
mainland, few of whom have been identi-
fed.
There are many bodies still in the ruins
Of Galveston and scattered along the beach
of the mainland and In the marshes, where
they were thrown by the water. Some OF
these bodies have been sent twenty miles
inland along small water courses by the
rush of high waters. Taking all things into
consideration. there seems no longer any
doubt that the number of dead will reach
beyond the estimate Of 5000 which has
been made by Mayor Jones, Major r, g..
Lowe and other reliable citizens of Calves
ton,
About 300 people arrived here from Cal
weston last night and truly dilaptdated
lot they are. They are being cared for as
well as possible. Four buildings have been
set apart for the benefit Of refugees, but OF
the $500 WHO have reached here so far, not
more than 500 remain in the public charge,
the remainder of them going to the homes
OF relatives and friends.
There have been delays in the transpor-
tation of provisions because OF q lack or
boats. but there are more boats now, and
the work today will be faster and more
complete.
The Western Union has succeeded In get
ting a wire into Galveston, but as there
are no poles standing, the wire does not re-
main in working condition long. The COM
pany has a nineteen-wtre cable across the
bay, and expects to have 1t working In
few days.
The Postal company will also have direct
communication with Galveston in q few
days.
Agents Of several Of the insurance COM
panies who are in Galveston say that there
is certain to be much confusion, but they
DO not know what action will be taken by
the companies concerning the payment Of
claims without proof of death, which, in
many cases, will be impossible. Contribu
tions of money continue TO come in, as do
supplies of all sorts.

NO POLITICS IN THE STRIKE,
So Says President Mitchell In an In
terYieW Today.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September IA
John Mitchell, president, and w. B. Wilson,
secretary-treasurer, of the United Mine
Workers of America, today say they are
very highly pleased with the manner in
which the general anthracite coal strike or
der has been received by the public. Mitch
ell says he regrets deeply that politicians
are undertaking to make capital out OF
the strike.
II had hoped" said he, that there would
be no political significance attached to SO
serious a matter as this great strike, in
volving, as 1t does the very living of 143,O
wage-earners, who have felt the merciless
foot Of capital for two decades"
Many kilograms were received from the
national board members-Fred Dilcher. Ed
ward Mckay, @. w. Purcell and Benjamin
James-now In the anthracite fields, early
today. Mitchell is keeping informed on
every move made by the miners and the
coal operators in the entire anthracite
fields. He is busy preparing to leave for
Hazelton, Pa, tomorrow night He will
take with him every official document that
may be needed in an emergency, AMI with
his secretary, will establish headquarters
in Hazelton. Thomas d. Nichols, John
Fahy and Thomas Duffey, presidents o. an
thracite districts. Nos. 1, and 8, will also
report direct to Mitchell. Several special
organizers will probably be appointed to
work under Mitchells direction, and other
national board members will no doubt be
sent to the anthracite regions Mitchell
proposes to hold many mass meetings, and
his policy, he says, as we'll as that OF all
other leaders in the strike, will be to per-
suade the workers to remain away from
the mines.
