Galveston. Tex, Sept. 1o.-To tut
Galveston on ;,er feet will require
100000 Such is the opinion Of Con-
gresham IIawley, one Of the repre-
sentative business men. This does
not mean that the sum mentioned will
come anywhere near restoring the
city to the condition before the
storm. At least that sum will be
needed to dispose Of the dead, to re-
move the ruins and to do what Is right
for the living. There are now on the
scene more nurses and physicians than
IRE required. The injured are rapidly
recovering from their wounds, which
are largely superficial. Many men and
women IRE suffering from severe ner-
vous shock. and find II impossible to
sleep. Food is coming In by boat load
and car load faster than II can be
handled, and in such generous guam
titles that no further doubts are en-
tertained about supplies. Relief head
quarters In each of the IL wards deal
out supplies to applicants in their
respective wards. Estimates Of the
numbers dependent upon the relief
committee vary. Mayor Jones makes
II about 5000, while other authorities
put the number as high as $4,000.

Chinese trouble to an acute crisis ms
far as the United States government

Chinese were compelled to shut their
