LONDON, Sept. 10, 4:15 a. m.-The
deadlock in Pekln apparently contin-
yes.
1t begins to look as If no solution
would be attained. at any rate before
the arrival of Count Won Waldersee at
Tien Tsin. Germany seems to have
introduced new complication by en-
deavoring to organize some kind of Of
fensive movement in the province of
Chi Ii. From the plentiful crop OF
conflicting rumors, both as regards the
actual position of affairs in Cuba and
the diplomatic aspects in Europe, it is
next to impossible to extract any def
mite fact. A Washington special talks
of movement among the powers to
appoint Sir Robert Hart as the Euro
pean representative in negotiations
with China.
According to the Shanghai CORE
spondent Of the Times, La Hung Chang
is awaiting the imperial edict appoint
ing additional negotiators.
Belated dispatches to the Times from
Pekin says that the court fed on the
morning of August 14th by the west
gate, while the Japanese were shelling
the east gate. The intention of the
court was not to proceed to Sian Flu,
in the province of Shen ST, but to turn
north to Jehol, and to remain there
awaiting events. No high officials ac-
companied the court except Prince
Ching.
In the apportionment of the city to
the control of the different nations, the
Americans, in ignorance of what was
being done, permitted a rectiflcation of
the French interior adjoining the
American, which transferred from
American to French possession Prince

stocked with treasures worth millions

HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. 9.-The
storm that ragged along the coast of
Texas last night was the most disas-
trous that ever visited this section.
The wires are down and there is no
way OF finding out just what has hap
pened, but enough is known to make
it certain that there has been great
loss of life and destruction of property
all along the coast and for a hundred
miles inland
Every town that is reported reports
one or more dead, and the property
damage is so great that there is no
way of computing it accurately.
Galveston remains isolated. The
made efforts to get special trains and
tugs to-day, with which to reach the
island city. The railroad companies
declined to risk their locomotives.
All sorts of rumors prevail, but with
no substantial basis. 1t is known that
the railroad bridges across the bay at
Galveston are either wrecked or are
likely to be destroyed with the weight
Of a train upon them. The approaches
to the wagon bridge are gone, and it is
rendered useless. The bridge of the
Galveston, Houston and Northern rail-
road is standing, but the draw-bridges
over Clear Creek and at Edgewater are
gone, and the road cannot get trains
through to utilize the bridge across
the bay.
A train went down the Columbia
Bay road this morning as far as Che
mango Junction. The town was great
ly damaged and the bodies of nine ne
groes were taken from the ruins of one
house. The train could proceed no fur
Their and came back to Houston, leav-
ing the fate of the people at Angleton,
Columbia, Brazoria Velasco and Quin-
Ian an uncertainty.
The small town of Brookshire. on
the Missouri Kansas and Texas. was
almost entirely wiped out by the storm.
The crew of the work train brought
this information. When the train left
three bodies of four persons had been
recovered, and the search for others
was proceeding.
Hampstead, across the country from
Brookshire, was also greatly damaged.
but so far as known no lives were lost.
Sabine Pass has not been heard from
to-day. The last news was received
from there yesterday morning. and at
that time the water was surrounding
the old town at the pass, and the wind
was rising and the waves coming high.
From the new town. which is some
distance back, the water had reached

mainder Of the day in his rooms. where

DALLAS, Texas, Sept. 8, 8 p. m.-The
telegraph communication with south
Texas is cut off about one hundred
miles north of Houston. Up to this hour
it has been impossible to obtain re-
liable news from Galveston as to the
extent of the hurricane in that section
Rumors of dire distress are flying
thick and fast without being in any
way authentic All that is known is
that the disaster has occurred, but its
extent is not known. The last wire
the Western Union had to Houston
went down at l: 80 this morning. This
wire was used by the Associated Press
and was working so badly at that hour
that whatever, information Houston
had to impart could not be made out
The storm center is rapidly approach
ing northern Texas, and its fury wrecks
all telegraph lines in its path, doing
vast damage and killing people in scat
tered territory A cyclone has demol-
lished a part of the town of Smithville
on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad. A number of persons are re-
ported killed. The railroad and the
telegraph companies have gangs and
wrecking trains out attempting to
work their way south, but the fierce
ness of the storm makes it impossible
for them to gain any Roadway, having
to seek shelter in order to save their
lives. The conditions at Galveston and
Houston are undoubtedly grave. The
four immense bridges, from four to six
miles in length, connecting Galveston
with the main land, are either wholly
or partially wrecked.
The storm at Temple was severe
and fears are entertained that the city
rs badly wrecked The railroad officials
say 1t is impossible to move trains
south of Courtney. Northbound trains
from Houston last night were fifteen
to eighteen hours late.
a private message from San Antonio
says that a serious disaster occurred
at Corpus Christi, Rockport and other
coast towns, the nature of which can
not be determined.
"A bulletin from Smithville at moor
stated that the grain elevators and
other large buildings at Galveston hat
been washed into the bay.
All the railroads southwark from Dial.
las at noon issued a bulletin instruct
ing their agents to discontinue the sale
of tickets or accepting freight for the
south until further orders. All the eff
fort to reach Sabine Pass and Port Ar.
thur have failed.
Without attempting to recite any o.
the various disastrous rumors, the con.
sentative opinion is that the situation
at Galveston is extremely grave. Will

a GOOD COMPLEXION
Depends on Good Digestion.

This is almost an axiom although usual
ly We are apt to think that cosmetics.
face powders. lotions. fancy soaps. etc.
are the secrets for securing a clear com
pIexion But ali these are simply super
fetal assistants.
Il O., Impossible to have a good complex
ion unless the digestive organs perform
their work properly. unless the stomach by
properly digesting the food taken into II
furnishes an abundance Of pure blood, a
good complexion is impossible
This is the reason so many ladies' are
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. because
they promptly cure any stomach trouble
and they have found out that perfect di-
aestion means a perfect complexion. and
one that does not require cosmetics and
powders to enhance its beauty.
Many ladies diet themselves or deny
themselves many articles Of food solely in
order TO keep their complexion clear When
Stuarts Dyspepsia tablets are used no such
dieting is necessary. take these tablets and
cat all the good wholesome food you want
and you need have no fear Of Indigestion
nor the sallow. dull complexion which nine
women out Of ten have, solely because they
are suffering from some form Of iudiges-
lion.
Bear in mind that beauty proceeds from
good health good health results from per
feet digestion an we have advanced the
best argument to induce every man and
woman to give this splendid remedy a trial
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found
in drug stores and costs but so cents per
package
II there is any arrangement Of the stom
leh or bowels they Will remove IT and the
resultant effects are, good digestion. good
health and u clear, bright complexion.
