CRAzED BY GRIEF.
narrowing scenes Witnessed in Hur.
ricanc-Swept Galveston.

AUSTIN. Tex. Sept 16.-J. A. Fernan-
dez. prominent citizen, arrived here to-
night from Galveston. He said:
In the course of my rounds / saw q
family of six half naked They appeared
crazy, and would look into the face of
every stranger with vacant stare that
was pitiable. They were hurrying in the
direction of the places where provisions
were being distributed. They had lost
their home and had only what :ittle
clothing was on their backs. There were
thousands in a similar condition.
''The soldiers are doing effective work
in burning the dead. The bodies present
ed horrible sight, and swollen to the
size of barrel. Limbs would In cases
fall to pieces as the bodies were being
thrown into the flames. Soldiers are
working heroicaIly. and do not shirk the
arduous duty. There are at least five
hundred people whose minds have te-
come unbalanced and some have lost
every vestige of their mental faculties
There are some raying maniacs among
them. one of whom came under my per-
sonal observation. His name is Charles
Thompson, a gardener. He occupied a
room above me at the hotel, and during
the night he kept raving and pacing the
floor and kept calling on God to witness
his actions, continually invoking the
mercy of the Deity. He has lost his fam
ily and home and by miracle saved
himself.
''As soon as he was out of personal dan
ger on that awful night he commenced
reseuing women and children and saved 200
people, according to a gentleman who
knew the circumstances. He then lost his
mind. He created SO much excitement at
the hotel that two policemen were detail
ed to capture him. He heard Gem ap-
preaching and leaped out Of a three-story
window 10 an adjoining building. His fall
was somewhat broken, but his body struck
against the window in my room. He was
badly injured. but continued his mad
fight. He bafiied his pursuers and es-
capped This occurred at 5 o'clock in the
morning. This is only one illustration Of
the conditions that prevail.
"a man whose wife was drowned in the
flood had been searching in vain for her
remains for several days and yesterday
located the body in the water near Thirty
third Street and Avenue o. Soldiers had
also seen the body and they took Ii Id
charge. The husband protested and rushed
wildly to take possession of the body. Ths
soldiers had to discharge their duty and
the husband, practically demented, was
bound while the body was thrown in the
flames The man made frantic efforts 10
get away from the soldiers, but to no avail
Not many bodies are now being buried,
as cremation is more effective and eype-
dent. General Scurry is thorough master
of the situation and his forces are now
well organized. Complete order has bee a
restored. Looting has ceased. Several ne
groes have been killed and 1t has had a
saIutary effect upon those inclined to law
lessness and thieving."

DIRECTING RELIEF WORK.
Governor sayers Busy in His Office
ut Austin.

AUSTIN, Tex. Sept. 16.-Governor Say
ers and his office force had no rest today.
Many contributions were received, and the
Governor spent a busy dag directing the
work of distributing the funds and pro-
Viding means fer the further relief of the
distressed city OF Galveston and the
Thousands Of human sufferers He con-
tracted for the employment of four
thousand laborers, who will be used for
removing the debris from the city and
island and 10 get the building sites in
condition for rebuilding. Many OF the
men viii also be employed in restoring
the sanitary condition CT the city. These
iaborers will be kept employed for thirty
days, OF longer. if necessary, and will re-
ceive Si.50 per day. They will be paid
out of the general relief fund. In this
connection, the Governor desires that the
public be informed that the cash eontri-
buttons so far received by him do not yet
aggregate $500. eco.
A much greater amount than this is
needed, and he urges that there be no lapse
Of the work of raising funds for the relief
OF the sufferers. Ten carloads of lime
went forward from here today and Will be
liberally distributed over the city. While
there is some sickness there has been no
outbreak of an epidemic. State Health
Omcer w r. Blunt has been instructed
by the Governor to remain and direct the
sanitary improvements 1t is DR.. Blunt's
opinion that the slime left all over the
island by the inundation will act as pre-
ventive of sickness and that the fears of
an epidemic are groundless.
Governor Sayers received the following
telegram late last night from W. R. Cor
wine, Secretary of the Citizens Relief
Committee OF the New York Merchants
Association of New York City: Wired
you s24 900; have collected nearly $40 1000;

goods, disinfectants. medical supplies, etc,
besides taking donations. Expect to sail
with her from here Monday noon Cargo
in change of myself and William Mills.
We viii see same delivered direct to the
relief committee at Galveston. Hope this
meets with your approval"
The Governor this morning expressed
his hearty appreciation of the splendid
contributions by the people OF New York
and other large cities. towns. and com
munities of the country. Collections for
the sufferers were taken up in thousands
OF churches throughout Texas and the
whole country today. These will begin

THE PRESIDENTS SUNDAY.
Mr.. Mckinley Visits the Cemetery ut
Canton.

CANTON, Ohio, Sept. 16.-President
Mckinley is very much better today, in
fact he seems to be in his usual good
health and spirits, the absolute rest and
quiet of yesterday having had the desired
effect. He remained just about as quiet
today, however. and secured great deal
of rest and sleep. A few callers were
received, but they were personal fri n1s
and neighbors, who called to see either
the President or Mrs. Mckinley.
During the morning drive was taken
to West Lawn Cemetery to place some
flowers on the graves of the Mckinley
children and of other relatives buried
there. In the afternoon another short
drive was. taken about the city by Pres
ident and Mrs. Mckinley. The only dis
tant visitor during the day was Judge
MeAtee of the Indian Territory. who
merely made an appointment to see the
President Monday morning.
No programme is announced for the
week. but 1t is expected that number of
prominent men in the campaign will be
here during the campaign. Chairman
Dick will probably be here to talk ever
the Ohio situation. There are still no
indications at the house that the gates
are going to be thrown open to delega-
tions. r

Mr.. Smith has had wide range Of
experience in this line, covering the

zens may be assured the work at his
hands will be well and thoroughly
done, but the full success Of the I'M

The man of the hour is WI Ting
Fang, the Chinese minister to tue
United States. lie is either playing
a more daring bluff game than has yet
been recorded in history, OR else a very
strange combination of circumstances
has created a false impression upon
the minds of those who have been
watching him since the present diff
cultieS in China began to assume such
magnitude. The news Of the safety
of the legations lessons to a certain
degree the horrible crime that is be-
ing pcrpctrated by his countrymcn,
but it does not dsspatc the belief
that China in its entirety has been Sc
cretly planning a united blow at the
outside world fer many years, and
that such active and able statesmen
and diplomatists as Minister WI have
been silent leaders Of the movement.

eminent that the foreign legations
are still alive. They may yet meet
horrible death at the hands of the
yellow Savages, but it is safe to say
that when that takes place the Chin
csc government will clear itself of the
rel possibility and should they be
finally delivered safely into the lines
of their protecting troops it will have
been done through the diplomacy of
the Chinese leaders who are looking
forward to war to the finish with
the forces already arrayed against
them. No race of people in the world
is SO deceptive as the Chinese and
the fact Of their appearance of guile
