SPLENDID SOLDERING ON THE WAY
TO PEKIN.

TO PEKIN.
We are snxiously awaiting details OF
the fighting on the way to Pekin and
around IL. None has come to hand
yet, although IL seems the Jsps have
distinguished themselves. We are
glad that the end is attained and are
grateful to them for their aid, of course
but IL fs liable TO make them entirely

white troops should get too much con-
fdence ir themselves.
Somebody f. exhibiting wonderful
military skill out there. This march
of the Heterogeneous allied force from
Tien Tsin upwards has gone of like
clockwork, to the surprise Of every
body, and some one man must have
been she controlling genius. Compare
IL for . moment with Mr.. Buffers At

CROSSE IN THE RACE ACROSS
THE ATLANTIC.
C%herbourg, Sept. 1O.-Concluding
the greatest ocean race in history, the
Hamburg-American Deutschland was
sighted at 6 o'clock this morning and
at . was disembarning her passengers.
The former champion, Kaiser-Wil-

land arrived at Plymouth at 2:OS this
morning; beating the Kaiser four
hours, sailing again for Cherbourg at
800.
Frank Higsbee of the Red Cross So
clety. n of the passengers, said the
race was so strenuous it was neces-
sary constantly to play the hose on the
machinery to keep the woodwork from
igniting. The men in the engine
rooms were stripped to the waist and
sprayed constantly with water. We'd
nesday both vessels we're close together

ON AN ISLAND.

CITY OF GALVESTON IS ON AN
ISLAND, SURROUNDED BY BAYS
AND STORMS SWEEP FROM
ALL SIDES.
Houston, Sept. 1O.-The city of Gal
weston is situated on an island, sep
arated from the mainland by east and
west bays, and is low, sandy and
quite level.
Galveston is the principal port of the
state as well az the most extensively
commercial city in the state. In 1890
it had a population of over 10000.
Galveston is $40 miles west of the
mouth of the south pass of the Missis-
'sippi river. It is the county seat of
Galveston county, Lne greater part of
which is on the mainland, separated
from the city and the island by two
bays. The island extends for a dis
lance Of about twenty-eight miles par

ING LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPER
TY-NOT A BUILDING ESCAPES
DAMAGE.
Houston, Sept. lo.-The Post in an
extra edition says: additional par
t~iculars Of the storm at Galveston
show about LOO persons drowned and
ten millions of property destroyed.
Not a building in the city escaped
damage.
All bath houses on the beach were
destroyed and the attendants drowned.
The Sealy hospital was destroyed
and most OF the patients drowned.
Grain elevators containing millions
o. bushels of wheat are destroyed.
Ball high school and the Rosenberg
school buildings were lcveled and
many persons taking refuge in them
killed.
Eight big steamships in port are
wrecked.
All three railway bridges and the
county bridge across to the main land
at Virginia Point were swept away,
and the bridge tenders and their fam
lilies drowned.
The loss of life and property is SIM
ply appalling. The entire city stands
submerged and water was eight feet
deep on fremont avenue, the highest
point in the city. The need of imme-
diate relief is pressing.

BARRACKS DESTROYED AND SOL
DIERS KILLED-VESSELs SAID
TO BE ASHORE-MORE DETAILS.
Galveston, Sept. lO.-The barracks
in which the regular soldiers were sta
toned was destroyed and it is believed
all but fifteen of the full company are
dead.
Among the vessels known to be
ashore are: kenday, Castle, Taun-
ton, Mexican and Gill.
The Pensacola, with a crew of 3G,
put to sea during the storm and it is
feared all are lost.
By loon Sunday the water had re-
coded from the highest portions of the
city.
There were many escapes at the
Union passenger station where score
Every window in the building was
broken and one wall caved in.
Hundreds are seeking relatives or
friends or a place of refuge.
The most serious problem is lack OF
fresh water, The waterworks being in
ruins. Only eight persons escaped
from St: Mary's infirmary where there
were a hundred patients and attend
ants. At least fifty we're killed in
the Rosenberg school house, which COL
lapsed soon after scores took refuge
there.

CONDITIONS GOOD.
WEEKLY TRADE REPORT OF
HENRY CLEMs SAYS CoNDI-

WEEKLY TRADE REPORT OF
HENRY CLEWs SAYS CoNDI-
TIoNs ARE FAVORABLE.
New York, Sept. 1O.-Henry Clews
weekly trade report says:
Home conditions are generally fav-
orable. \ good harvest is practically
assured, and farmers are making good
profits; better in fact on the average
than for many years. This is true of
cotton as we'll as of wheat, corn and
many other agricultural products. A
striking fact is that while there are
fewer Blooms" in progress than a year
ago, and some lines of business are
making very moderate profits COM
pared with 1890, yet prosperity is
more evenly distributed and all classes
are receiving a more equitable share
than then. 1t is many years since the
country has witnessed so little discon-
tent; this is demonstrated by the
apathy regarding the antitrust issue,
which in times of depression would
prove an inexhaustible source of cam
paign rhetoric. Today it is almost
a lost issue; much to the satisfaction
of the large holders of the industrials.
Good harvests mean a good demand
for all sorts of merchandise this COM
ing fall and winter; this in turn means
a good west bound traffic for the rail-
roads and continued employment for
our mills and furnaces. Now that
iron products are coming down to
reasonable figures, enterprises
which have been checked by high
prices are being pushed forward, con-
fdence is again reviving, and, as the
process of readjustment to the new
level becomes more complete, the
country is girding together for a fresh
step forward. Happily the old hind
rance to industrial growth, over-pro-
duction is a lessened menace now that
foreign markets are becoming eager
purchasers of American manufactures.
Were it not for this outlet our energy
in developing American resources
would quickly bring the present era of
prosperity to aclose, and we should be
instantly precipitated into another an
other period Of over production with all
its evil consequences. No such con-
tingency is now in sight; and there is
every likelihood that in future the for
eign demand will play an important
part in preventing industrial distress
a. home. The Importance of preserv-
ing these outlets should therefore not
be overlooked even from a Wall street
standpoint. The latest evidences of
our international development are the
large foreign demand for American
coal, and the reports that Sweden has
been seeking to place a loan in this
market"

Courtenay had a close call from be-
ing wiped out by fire Sunday night
when the Tomlison barn burned in
the south part of town. Fire was
discovered at 1890 and the fire de-
partment turned out in their negli-
gee costumes and worked like Turks,
combining the flames to the building,
about 30 by 100 #. in dimensions. A
building standing but a few feet away
was saved as we'll as other buildings
on the same side of the street. The
barn was built by Dominick Cavan-
augh, who was murdered at Glendive
two years ago, and on the settlement
OF the estate was sold and was to have
been moved off in a short time. No
insurance.
