PROPOSED GRADE CHANGES AT GALVESTON.
here are OF such Importance as to fully
Justify congress In making generous
appropriation for the future protection
OF the city. which is the most lmpor-
tant deep water port on the gulf Of
Mexico. These are the jetties, the
forts. the barracks and other govern.
ment property situated In Galveston.
To construct the jetties the govern
ment expended $S.000.O00. while the
building OF Fort San Jacinto and Fort
Crockett probably cost $3,0OO,0O0 or
more. The storm last September dam
aged the jetties more than was at first
supposed. This damage viii necessi-
tate the spending OF probably $780,
900 TO restore the great walls OF rock
to the state OF efficiency they were In
before the storm and to carry th"m out
TO the point In the gulf originally In
tended. The jetties are now nearly
five miles long. but they must be ex-
tended about half mile to reach the
depth designated by the engineers.
In addition to the construction OF a
sea wall, which II is hoped that the
government will build for Its own pro-
lection, 1t is proposed to raise the city
on the gulf side TO an elevation or at
least 10 feet above the sea level, slope
the city from the gulf to the bay and
permit the construction OF only sub
stantial, well built structures within
the city limits. With these things ac-
complished the citizens believe that
Galveston will be as secure from storm
and sea as any coast city on the CONT
nent.
Galveston is built near the eastern
end OF a long, narrow sand Island, the
mainland being two miles distant. Ii
is practically on a level with the sea
both on the gulf and bay sides, Broad
way. the thoroughfare which trayerses
the highest portion Of the city. being
only seven or eight feet above sea level
The difference between high and low
tide at ordinary times is about lS
inches. According to the surveys mace
by the government engineers, the wa
ters during the last great storm rose
annroximately 10 feet at Fort Crockett
I'm the western portion OF the city. That
Is the greatest height officially report
ed although II unofficial reports are ac-
cepted the waves reached much higher
Assuming that the government
through it's engineers. had the best
means OF getting at the facts. the clti-
zens' committee OF Galveston. having
IN charge the plans for the rehabilita-
ton OF the city. have proceeded TO pre-
mare for such another storm. They
saw that IL the sea rose 10 feet during
the storm OF last September they VIII

RADICAL ON DIVORCE

San Francisco. Oct. 15.-The house

sitting as a committee of the whole,
yesterday adopted the proposed canon
prohibiting the remarriage of divorced
persons for causes not arising previous
to their former marriage. The canon
was adopted just as ii came from the
house of bishops. The vote stood Isl
for; loS against. The amendment OF
DR.. Huntington, OF New York, making
an exception in the case of the inno-
cent party to divorce granted on the
ground of adultery was rejected by
vote Of 15S TO 173. The result of the
vote IN the committee of the whole
was reported To the house of deputies,
which viii vote on the matter.
Decision May BE Reversed.
The result. however, may not be the
same, for in the house the vote of thir-
ty delegations is required to carry a
measure the divided delegations virtu-
ally counting among the nays. No
time was set for a final vote by the
house, but it will presumably be taken
today. Previous to this action In CONF

ties adopted the resolutions presented

The afternoon session of the house
of deputies was held behind closed

ops. The election resulted in the
choice Of the following: Rev. James

CANTON, o.. Sept. 1S.-The sight was
profoundly impressive the funeral train
drew into the little station at Canton at
exactly noon to-day. All about the station
and banked deep in the surrounding streets
were the friends and neighbors of the mar
tyred President, while drawn up back of
the station were long lines of militiamen
at present arms. Immediately in the rear
OF the station, at the mouth of Tenth

ers, keeping the line of march clear. ID

To-day nearly the whole world will mourn
the death of William Mckinley. President
Roosevelts proclamation appointing Thurs
day as a day of prayer will be observed
throughout the United States. In Europe
the American colonies will meet in their
churches in the various capitals, and in
London special services will be held in his
toric Westminster Abbey. In the far-away
Philippines. in Australia, in China and in
Canada there will be memorial services.
Never before in the history of the world
the death of ruler. Cablegrams continue
to tell of editorials in the leading foreign
newspapers eulogizing the dead President,
and messages from crowned heads are still
arriving at the State Department in Wash
ington, all deploring the act of the assas-
sin and Offering sympathy to the widow.
A remarkable evidence of respect in mem
ory of the martyred President will be the
suspension of business and traffic of all
kinds to-day in the principal cities of the
country. Street and steam railways will
stop for five to ten minutes. and in some
places the passengers will sing Nearer,
my God, TO Thee General Manager Nc
Gowan, of the Indianapolis Street-railway
Company, issued an order that all the cars
shall stop for three minutes after II o'clock
to-day. General Manager Waldo, of me
c., H. & D., has given instructions to stop
all trains and to suspend work of all kinds
on the line of that company for ten min
utes, from 1870 to 1:40 p. m. During that
time no work Of any kind will be allowed
on the entire system. All division superin-
tendents Of the Pennsylvania lines have
been instructed to close shops and freight
depots from IL, noon. until p. m, and at
1:30 D. m, the hour of the Mckinley fu-
neral, to have every locomotive on passen-
ger trains, freight trains and switching
service come to a standstill. Conductors
of passenger and freight trains will give
the signal when 10 stop.
Union church services will be held in In
dianapolis, and the Sovereign Grand Lodge
of Odd Fellows will devote the day to me-
mortal exercises.
