Roosevelt for the Vice Presidency.
The attention both of delegates and
other visiting politicians last night was
concentrated upon the movement in
the interest of Governor Roosevelt as
Il vice presidential candidate. The
Pennsylvania delegation met early yes
terday and il was soon announced that
the state delegation had taken posi-
tive position for the governor for the
second place on the ticket. The move
ments of those advocating Roosevelt
nomination indicate a purpose TO STAN
pede the convention for him, which
probably would not be difficult, and
force his acceptance of the nomination.
Bliss Becomes More Probable.
The Development of the movement
IN RooScVelt's behalf had the effect OF
bringing eXSecretary Bliss conSpicu-
Ously forward as the opposing candi-
date, and the fact was announced by
those very close to him that lie would
accept if nominated. He repeated yes
terday his desire to be relieved of the
responsibility. but his friends left him
with the knowledge that il the nomi-
nation should he rendered it would not
he declined; Il don't want TO say that
l will not accept before the tender iS
made for that would he premature"
he said, = hut l do say for the hun
dredth time that l hope the right man
will be found for the place and that |
will not be asked TO serve. On the
other hand" he added after no little
cntreaty, Il will not say that if nomi.
mated | would decline. l know of no
American who has ever declined so
high an office and l shall not say that
l would do So"
Quay Views of the Matter.
In connection with the movement
among the Pennsylvanians to further
the nomination of Roosevelt, Attorney
General John L. Elkin. the leader of
the Quay forces in the state, said: "A
candidate for the vice presidency
should be nominated who will
strengthen the ticket. The strongest
candidate with the American people
today is Theodore Roosevelt He is the
best vote -Getter by far of all the gen
tiemen named for second place. Roose-
welt Is the idol of the young Republi-
cans OF the whole country.
Colonel Roosevelt is too good Il Repub-
lican not 10 accept the nomination il
his party demands 1t. With Mckinley
and Roosevelt as our Standard-bearerS
we Will sweep the country in Novem-
Der" OF course there are others-two
nave been suggested Ivy West Vir-
G.nians. ElkinS and Scott-but the real
night Is 10 get Roosevelt to run.

RESUME OF THE DISASTER.
Total Death List win Never be Known
Property Loss G2O.OOO.OOO.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-The following
statement was received at IL o'clock
last night:
Galveston, Tex, Sept. 12.-Charles
5. Diehl, general manager of the AS
ISOLATED Press, Chicago.-A summary
of the conditions prevailing at Gal
weston is more than human intelli-
gence can master. Briefly stated, the
damage to property is anywhere be-
tween $4,000, 900 and $20,000,000. The
loss of life cannot be computed. No
list could be kept and all is simply
guesswork. Those thrown out to sea
and buried on the ground wherever
found will reach the horrible total
of at least 5000 souls.
MY estimate of the loss on the
island of the city OF Galveston and
the immediate surrounding district is
between 1000 and 5000 deaths.
do not make this statement in fright
or excitement. The whole history
will never be told because il cannot
be told. The necessities of those liv-
ing are total. Not a single individ-
ual escaped property loss. The prop
erty or the island is wrecked: fully
one-half totally swept out of exist
ence altogether. What our needs are
can be computed by the world at
large by the statement herewith sub
mitted much better than | could pos
sibly summarize them. The help
must be immediate. (Signed)

manager Galveston News"

ASSASSIN C0NFESSES.
Says rlurder of Won Ketteler Was
Ordered by Government.

Picking, Sept. 1.-THE Japanese have
arrested the assassin of Baron Won
Kettele-, late German minister to
China. The assassin. who has been
handed over to the Germans by the
japanese, confessed his guilt. He was
arrested for trying TO sell to a jap
anese officer watch with initials,
which he admitted taking from the
body of Baron Won Kettelcr. lie aft
rrwards admitted the crime, saying
that the imperial government had
ordered the commission of the act.
Colonel Prietkott's party engaged
five hundred Boxers seven miles from
Machipo. The Boxers were armed
only with swords and spars. The Rus
sian cavalry charged them, killing
many with sabres. The charge was
made through n corn field. and the
Russiars succeeded in killing the
commander of the enemy's forces. The
casualties among the Boxers are esti-
mated at 200. One Russian officer
was wounded and two Cossacks killed.

RUSSIA PROVOKES CRlCIS
Issues an Uitimatum which Is Ignored
by Ii Hung Chang.


Berlin. Sept. 1.-THE news bureau
sent to China by the German fleet So
ciety cables from Shanghai that it has
received the following telegram from
the Russian government.
The Russian government makes the
following ultimatum:
"The emperor of China shall resume
the government himself and shall have
Prince Tuan, the Boxer leader, ar
rested and punished and shall exclude
the empress from any influence upon
his government.
Iii Hung Chang has declared that
all these demands are unacceptable,
except the first, and has abandoned
his proposed departure for the north"
The Lokal Anzeiger has received the
following from its Shanghai cores
pondent:
at is announced from Marking that
the viceroys apprehend action from
Germany. The tatai of Marking has
ordered 5000 men mustered into SER
vice and the same number recruited
among the salt smugglers. whose chief
has been appointed commander of
thirty war junks.
THE German protected cruiser
Seeadler passed Marking with her
decks cleared for action.
Iii Hung Chang has abandoned the
peace negotiations because Prince
Tuan is opposed to them"
Nothing is known here in official
circles of such action on the part of
Germany as is referred to by the
advices to the Lokal Anzeiger.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Thc census
bureau announces the population OF
Des Moines, Iowa. to be 62,l39. against
5OO93 in 1890. This is an increase Of
2405 per cent.
Des Moines, Sept. 1.-THE returns
of the census are very unsatisfactory
to n majority of the people of Des
Moines. 1t is safe to say that 90 per
cent of the business men are of the
opinion that Des Moines has 10000
more than the enumerators have
given. So far incorrect are the re-
turns believed to be that il is pos
sible and very probable that the Com
mercial Exchange will take the matter
up, organize census bureau and
again canvass the city. This was done
at Sioux City and n better result OBJ
tanned than given out by the oiiicia!
enumeratorS.

Trouble with Tax Fcrrets.

Sioux City, Sept. 14.---Woodbury
county is having quite a struggle with
the tax ferret proposition. Some
time ago the board of supervisors en-
ployed George w. Powell TO hunt up
property which the assessor had over
looked, and Powell has turned in lists
which he alleges will bring the county
more than $4,000 in taxes il il goes
after them. But the boards wants to
back out of the agreement. When
it first attempted to 90 SO, Powell
brought an injunction suit against
the board to prevent it from Interior
ing with him in carrying out his con-
tract. Later he dismissed this suit
Then the board decided to ignore him
and his work, ana instructed the
county treasurer not to attempt to
collect any taxes on the property re-

situation In Galveston Expected to
Steadily Improve.
Austin, Tex, Sept. Ex-Governor
Sayers has made the following state
ment to the Associated Press CORES
pondent on the Galveston flood situa-
ton:
Conditions at Galveston are fully
as bad as reported. Communication.
however, has been re-established b.
tween the island and the mainland
and hereafter the transportation OF
supplies will be less difficult. The
work of clearing the city is progress
ing fairly well and Adiutant General
Scurry, under direction of the mayor,
is patrolling the city for the pur-
pose of preventing depredations. Tbs
most conservative estimate as to the
number of deaths places them at
1000. Contributions from citizens u
this state and from other states are
coming in rapidly and literally and
il is confidently expected that within
the next ten days the work of restor-
alton by the people of Galveston will
have begun in good earnest and with
energy and success. OF course the
destruction of property has been very
great, not less than $10,000,000, but
it is hoped and believed that even
this great loss will be overcome
through the energy and self-reliance
of the people"
