Santa Fe Galveston Bridge
Nearly Ready For Traffic.

Stricken Galveston will, it is conf
IDENTIFY expected, soon be put in traffic
communication with the outside world
again. Third Vice President J. M. Barr,
who has been on the grounds ever since
the disaster, caring for the interests of
the Santa Fe road, together with Cen
eral Manager Polk, of the Gulf, Color
ado & Santa Fe, has advised General
superintendent Resseguie that the first
train will be run over the company's
bridge into Galveston, either Wednes-
day night or Thursday morning.
The company has had a large force
of men at work rebuilding the tracks
and repairing the bridge. Considering
the terrible destruction that the storm
accomplished, excellent progress has
been made in the bringing about of a
resumption of traffic. It was first
thought that it would be a much longer
time before traffic could be opened
across the bay and into the city of Gal
weston.

HANNA WAKES EN- UP.
Entertains Chicago Business
Men at a Luncheon.

Chicago, Sept. Ex-senator Hanna en-
tertained 25 leading business men of
Chicago at luncheon at the Union
League club, after which he made a
short speech.
The drift of the senator's talk was
that the business men of the country
are as much interested in this election
as they were in '96 and that they should
take as active a part in it as they did
four years ago. He cautioned them that
the only danger to Republican success
was over-confidence and apathy on the
part of the men who are not accustom-
ed to take an active part in politics and
warned his hearers that Bryan was as
much a free silver man now as he was
four years ago.
Mr.. Hanna's appeal was that his aud
itoIs wake up and go to work.
When the senator finished there was
a general interchange of ideas of the
guests present as to the work which
ought to be done. In talking of the
purpose of the gathering, Senator Han
ma afterwards said.
Il wanted to wake them up, and I
guess 1 did before 1 got through"
