London, Sept. S.-The week has
been prolific of discussion, but,
though the main questions Of inter-
national and national Importance ap-
pear to be profting by the general
desire for peace. which remains the
strongest factor of international pol
itics and appears to be approaching
solution. they have not yet reached
the point of fidelity which Great Bril-
tam so earnestly desires in order that
she may attend to her private con-
Germs. Among the latter stand out
most prominently the South African
question and the general election BY
help or the desire for peace dominat-
ing all hindrance the formal annexa-
ton of the South African Republics,
which, as Cabinet minister declared
last year, would be an ''unmitigated
misfortune" Lord Roberts procla-
nation. however, does not tend that
the annexation of the Transvaal is
tantamount to the end of the South
African war. but the Boer view of the
question differs, and as a matter of
fact there are no singns that the
British are masters OF the country
anywhere except in the case of strips
of land along the railroads.
However, in spite of the disconcert-
Ing persistency of the burghers the
British government apparently has
determined to carry out the scheme
for an early appeal to the country.
Everything appears TO be shaping for
an October election, and the return to

A GREAT STORM.
NO COMMUNICATION WITH GAIL
WESTON ISLAND, TEXAS.

(By Telegraph to Virginian- Pilot
New Orleans, Sept. S.--A special from
Dallas, Texas. says ali Texas is in a
keen state of uncertainty tonight con-
cerntng the fate OF Galveston Island
and city, which iS shut off from COM
munication. In everybody's mind is
the suspicion that u calamity rests be-
| hind the lack of information from the
Gulf coast. 1t is reported that I'm
mense destruction has Defallen Gall
weston and other places. Il is said
that the bridges leading from the
mainland to the island have been
swept away by the terrible fury of the
wind and the rolling up of the water
In the bay. and il this Is so it Is not
seen how the town could have escaped.
The last report from Galveston stated
that the Gulf waters were encroachng
rapidly on the beach, and that the
flood had extended into u portion of
the city for several blocks. The waves
were very high and disastrous In the
bay, and considerable damage was be-
Ing done to small craft. The rain had
been very heavy all day and traffic
was entirely suspended. The Southern
Pacific wharves had been damaged to
the extent of $4,000.
