To his Excellency, the President of the
United States: News of the disaster
which has just devastated the state OF

ments Of traditional friendship which
unite the two republics can leave no
doubt in your mind concerning the
very sincere share that the president
and government Of the republic, and
the whole nation take in the calamity
that proved such a cruel ordeal for so
many families in the United States. 1t
is natural France should participate in
the sadness as we'll as in the joy of the

heartfelt condolences, and to send to the
families of the victims the expression
Of our sincerest sympathy. (Signed)

WAITING FOR CHINESE.
No Developments Expected Till They
Act.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The passage
of day without an event bearing upon
the Chinese situation went to confirm
the prediction made last week by Off
Gals that there wouIu De no immediate
important Developments Several ca
BILE messages were exchanged, and
there were some consultations, notably
between Acting Secretary Adee and
the Chinese and Japanese ministers,
and the French charge d'affaireS, but
these were without visible result The
general impression is that nothing can
be done Until the Chinese themselves
have progressed further toward the
restoration Of the government at Pekin.
Meanwhile military preparations for a
winter stay in China go on without
cessation, though officials are careful
to point out that these are only precau~
tionary measures and are not to be
taken as an indication ola final deter
animation on the part of the govern
ment

Galveston, Sept 1S.-Yesterday was
the ninth day after the storm and still
the gruesOme task goes on of recover
ing the dead from the gigantic mass OF
debris that lines the south side Of what
remains of the city. Sunday 107 bodies
were recovered and cremated. The
body of Major w. 7. Levy, United
States emigrant inspector of this dis
trict, was among the number. He
made struggle to save his wife and
three children. All were lost. The
number found and cremated yester-
day has not been reported as yet but
will exceed a hundred. The task Of re
covering the bodies beneath the i'm
mense rick of debris, extending from
the eastern to the western limits OF the
city, a distance over three miles, is lie
most difficult problem the board o.
health has to deal with. The work OF
opening up the streets and disinfecting
them is being vigorously prosecuted.
The debris of garbage is being removed
and 250 vehicles of every description
are carrying it out to safe place
where it is burned.
The work of relief of the sick and
injured is all in hand under the direc-
ton Of skilled physicians and nurses
and is improving daily. Eleven hun
dred tents were received yesterday by
the board of health. All except 800
were retained for hospital purposes and
distributed by the chairman Of the
various ward subcommittee to shell
ter the homeless in their respective
wards. The revenue cutter Winona.
from Mobile, arrived yesterday and
Captain Parry placed the cutter at the
disposal of the board of health for the
removal Of the sick and wounded who
are able to leave the city for interior
points Sickness of a malarial type is
becoming quite prevalent among the
sufferers, and considerable apprehen-
sion is felt that it may assume a more
serious form.

throughout the entire hard coal region
Of Pennsylvania The launching of
the strike in this district was attended
by varying success. With the excep-

twelve mining towns, is completely
tied up. This territory is strongly Or
ganized, which accounts for the gen
Mitchell of the United Mine workers,
who has established headquarters at

the strike, estimates that over 100, 900
men struck and that $4,000 more will
join them today.
In speaking Of the charge that poll
tics might have something to do with
the present strike, President Mitchell
said:
"Politics will not, cannot and must
not enter into the strife. Personally,
approach the contest as a mother
would her babe in its first illness. The
sole object of that mother is restora-
