Much of the City Swept Ant; or In Ruins —The Cltjr Completely Inolnted—All the Other Const Towns Suffered—hoblae Pass Reported ns Completely De- - stroyed. Houston, Tex., Sept. 9.—James C. Timmins, general v superintendent of the National Compress Co., has just •reived from Galveston, after a perilous trip. He reports that more than one thousand persons have been drowned, killed or missing, and that 4,000 houses have been destroyed. He says the magnitude of the disaster remains to be told. Three Thousand Lives Lost. New York, Sept. 10.—The World today prints the following: “Austin, Tex., Sept. 9. “Information has just reached me that about three thousand lives have been lost at Qalveston, with enormous destruction of property. “No information from other points. [Signed] “JOSEPH SAYERS. “Governor.” TUB HORROR GROWS. Lou of Life Estimated by Thousands —Like a Tidal Wave. s Dallas, Tex., Sept. 9.—The following telegram has just been received from Houston, by the News: Relief train just returned. They could not get eloser than six miles of (Virginia Point, where the prairie was covered with lumber, debris, pianos, trunks and dead bodies. Two hundred corpses were counted from the , .train. - 1 > , A large steamer is stranded two miles from Virginia Point, as though thrown up by a tidal wave. Nothing can be seen of Galveston. Two men were picked up who were ^floating across the mainland and they say they estimate the loss of life up .to the time they left at 2,000. The above message is addressed to Superintendent Felton, Dallas, and comes from Mr. Vaughn, manager of the Western Union telegraph office at Houston. Houston. Tex., Sept. 9.—The storm that raged along the coast of Texas 'lafl night was the most disastrous that has ever visited this section. The wires are down and there is no way of finding out just what has happened, but enough is known to make it certain that there has been great Joss of life and destruction of property all along the coast, and for 100 (miles inland. Tfcvery town that is ■reached reports one or more dead and ithe property damage is so great that rthere is no way of computing; it ac

fcurately. (Declined to Riak Their Loco mo tire*. ! Galveston remains isolated. The {Houston Post and the Associated iPress correspondents made efforts to get special trains and tups to-day with which to Beach the island city. The railroad companies decline to risk their locomotives. Bridge* Wrecked or Weakened. Ail sorts of rumArs prevail, but • with no substantial basis. It is known that the railroad bridges across the bay at Galveston are either wrecked or likely to* be destroyed with the (Weight of a train on them; the approaches to the wagon bridge are ‘gone and it is rendered useless. The • bridge of the Galveston, Houston & Northern railroad is standing, but the drawbridges over Clear creek and at Hdgewater are gone, and the road can bot get trains through to utilize the bridge across the hay. i JFonna Seven Dead In One Honn. 1 A train went down the Columbia tap troad this morning as far as Chenango (Junct ion. The town was greatly damaged, and the bodies of nine negroes (were taken from the ruins of one tboipe. The train could proceed no {further, and came hack to Houston, leaving the fate of the people at Anpleton, (Columbia, Brazora, Valasco •and Quintana uncertain. Town Almost Wiped Qnt. The small town of Brookshire on (the Missouri,"Kansas & Texas, was almost wiped out by the storm. The icrew of a work train brought in the information. When the train left tb^r^the bodies of four persons had been fccoVered and the search for others wusproceeding. I Hempstead, across the country prom Brookshire, was also greatly (damages, but so far as known no lives were lost. 1 Resident* Deiertlng Sabine Pau. I Sabine Pass has not been heard $jffroin to-day. Yesterday morning the last news was received from there, {and at. that time the water was surrounding the old town „at the pass, *nd the wind was rising and the !Wft#s becoming high. From the new (town, which is some distance back, St was reported that the water had reached the depot and was running (through the streets. People were leaving for the high country known as .the back ridge, and it is believed that jail escaped. | Many Drowned nnd More Hliilsg. f Two bodies have been brought in prom Seabrooke, on Galveston bay, land 17 persons are missing-there, persons were drowned at Mors Point, and others are missing, the exception of those of Mrs.

Nicholson and Mrs. Jane Woodlock, the bodies of the dead have not yet* been identified. Great Property D«m«« at Hoaatoa, In Houston one person was killed* Henry Black, a hack driver. The property damage is great, a conservative estimate placing it at $250,000. The Merchants’ and Planters* oil mill was wrecked, entailing a loss of $40,000. The Dickson car wheel works suffered to the extent of $16,000. The big‘Masonic temple, which is the property of the grand lodge of the state, was partially wrecked.

Manx Churches Damaged. Nearly every church in the city was damaged. The First Baptist, Southern Methodist and Trinity Methodist, the latter a negro church, will have to be rebuilt before they can be used again. Presents a Dilapidated Appearance. Many business houses were unroofed. The residence portion of the town presents a dilapidated appearance, but the damage in this part of the city has not been so great as in some others. The streets are almost impassable because of the litter of shade trees, fences, telephone wires and poles. Much damageAvas done to window glass and furniture. Many narrow escapes are recorded. Trains Going Into the Unknown. Another train has left here for Galveston, making the third attempt today. The two preceding ones have not been heard from, as all wires are prostrated. The Santa Fe train, which left here at 7:53 Saturday night, was wrecked at a point about two miles north of Alvin. Mrs. Prather, of Ilosenberg, Tex., was killed, and several others were injured. One Dead and Manx Injured. The train was running slowly when it encountered the heavy storm. It is reported that the train was literally lifted from the track. Mrs. Prather was thrown across the cjfcr and half way through a window. When the car was righted is was found that her head had been under water, and she was drowned. Five other pasengers were seriously, ' and several were slightly injured. Sabine Puns Completely Destroyed. Atlanta, Gd., Sept. 9.—A special to the Constitution from Beaumont, Tex., says it is reported there that the city of Sabine Pass was completely destroyed by the storm. The hue ricane was the worst ever known. NEWS BROUGHT IN BY TRAIN. Worst Reports ot Devastation Along the Columbia Tap Railroad Confirmed. Houston, Tex., Sept. 10.—A train came in on the Columbia Tap railroad yesterday afternoon, and its crew tell a story of death and desolation through the country they passed. Conductor Ferguson states that houses, barns, crops and orchards have been destroyed and great damage has been done. A*. L. Forties, postal clerk, reported that at Oyster creek, the train crew and passengers heard cries coming out of a mass of debris. Several persons answered the cries, and found a negro woman fastened under a roof. They pulled her out. and she informed her rescuers that there were others under the roof. A further search resulted in the finding of nine dead bodies, all colored persons. When the train arrived at Angleton, the jail, all the churches and a number of houses had been blown down. Three fatalities are known to have occurred nt Angleton, but the tra|n stopped there only a few minutes, and the number of killed or their names could not be learned./ At Angleton the conductor decided to return to Houston, and the extent of the damage beyond Angleton was not learned. On the return trip the crew saw the debris of dozens of de

ixiuiioru uuiiarst. At Sunday Point several persons were badly injured, but no fatalities were reported. At Areola a family named Wolford had been gathered in the second-story of their house. The upper portion of the house was blown away, and Mr. Wofford's mother was instantly killed. The hurricane was particularly severe at llrooksKire, 27 miles west of Houston, on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad. Four dead bodies have been taken fromthedebris of wrecked houses, and it is believed others have been killed. It iS|teported that only four houses arc l^Kdanding in Brookshire, which had ^population of 600 people. The names of the, dead at Brookshire have not been learned. Later reports received from Alvin state that many persons were killed there. Eleven bodies have been recovered. PRACTICALLY DEMOLISHED. The Town of Alvin Destroyed and Seven Peraona Klled.

IN WEST VJRGINIA. Bryan Speaks to the Voters of Three States in One. DeeUre* the Alulghtjr Dollar Kelei Repabllcan Imperial Policy— The Faraert aai the Traete.

Mr. Bryan made two speeches in Jefferson county, West Virginia, on September 5, the first at Morgan's Grove and the other at Keyser, the gist of both being here given. At Morgan's Grove he said: . • "What does the republican party do to help the farmer? Has it any means of raising the price of wheat he has to sell? You are told now that you have more money now than you had In 1896. 1 want you to read the speeches made In 1836 and see whether the republican party promised ahy more money. You cannot And In a republican speech of 1896 a promise of more money. The republicans said then that It did not matter whether we had much money or little. Just so it was good. They disputed, the quantitative theory of money, and you cannot find where any republican said in 1896 that we had an insufficient amount of currency and promised that the republican party would bring more money, and yet to-day the republican party boasts of an increase in the volume of money. "Republican farmers, do you believe that times are better than they were, and that we have more money than we had, and do you believe that there is any connection between better times and more money? If you do I want you to remember that in 1896 we told you that more money made better times, and we tried to secure more money, not temporarily, but permanently, for the American .people. The republicans said we did not need any more, and yet when gold was discovered in Alaska the republicans were glad there was going to be more money. They rejoiced so loudly that you would Imagine that it .was in the republican platform that they would discover gold if they were intrusted with power. The increased production of gold has been a help. "We wanted more gold and more silver.,, The quantitative theory of money has been established, and the republican party today does not dare to brag of an increased quantity of money and at the same time say that the quantitative theory of money is incorrect. We got money because of a large crop in this country and a famine in Europe. Did the republican party make a large crop in this country? Did the republican party produce the famine in Europe? If not how can it claim credit for the increased volume of money? “We have had a war on hand. We have been mortgaging the future and spending the money of the present. We have been putting some money into circulation which was stored in the vaults and it has been helpful. Did the republican party bring on the war in order to increase the volume of money? The war in the Philippines has furnished some demand for money and it has taken 65,000 men out of the labor market. The South African war has also helped some in the matter of creating prices by creating a demand for goods. Did the republican party bring about that war? "The republicans cannot point to one thing that has been done by the republican party to raise the price of the farm products, and yet without having any policy to raise the prices of what the farmer sells the republican party does promote the trusts and raise the prices of what the farmer buys. And if the republican party can raise the price of what the farmer buys then the farmer suffers rather than gains by the republican administration. The republican party to-day has arrayed itself against every proposition of importance except on the tariff question for which it stood ten years ago.” Filipinos Made Subjects. Discussing the Philippine question, Mr. Bryan said in part: “Republicans tell us that tho Philippine war is the same as the war between the states. A man does not need to have much intelligence to see the difference between the principles Involved. In the civil war the north was holding the people of the south In the unton. but the people were not to be subjects; they were to be citixens. They were not held In the union to be denied the privileges of citizenship. They are to-day sharing with the citixens of the north in the citizenship of this union and they are vieing with the citizens of the north to see which section can add most to the grandeur and glory of this, our common country. "That is not the same as it is in the Philippine islands. We are not bringing the Filipinos in as citizens. We are bringing them in as subjects and if you wait to know the difference between the southiharing as she does in the guaranties of th«T constitution and the Filipinos weighted down by a colonial system such as is practiced in other countries, just compare the south today, self-governing, with the south during the carpet-bag period."

Bryan at Keyaer. A large crowd greeted Mr. Bryan at Keyser at which place he said: “I want this government to remain such a government that the son of every citizen can aspire to the highest rewards in business or in politics. I want it so that you will not ask who a man's father was. whether he be great or humble, rich or poor. I want all the avenues kept open so that every child born into the world will have something to hope for. And when I ask that, I am not selfish. 1 am not a selfish man. 1 am interested in this question, not as a candidate, but as a citizen; My father was a lawyer, and I practiced law until I became so busy prosecuting the republican party for grand larceny that I did not have time to defend people charged with petty larceny. But I do not know what my boy will be. and I haVe two daughters, and I do not know what my sons-ln-law will be. “I do not want a government that is good only for lawyers; I do not want a government that is good only for-bankers; I do not want a government that is good only for those who may be fortunate enough to stand at the head of great corporations. “I want a government that will protect every citizen in the enjoyment of life and liberty, and in the pursuit of happiness, and guarantee to every citizen a. fair share of the proceeds of his own toil. If I can help to secure such a government then I will have no fear for my children, nor my children's children. I could be willing then to let them take their chances with their fellows. Arraigns Republican Parly. ~ "It amazes me that men can be so blind and so short-sighted as to iavor policies that simply bring benefit to a few. I charge that the republican party of to-day is the party of the few. and that its legislation gives a benefit to the comparatively few at the expense of the many. I believe that through the republican policies there lies one vicious principle—namely, that the dollar is worth more than the mail. The proper relation between man and money is that man is the master and money the servant. The republican party has reversed it, and is making money the master and man the servant. "Take the vicious acts of legislation that the republican party has been guilty of. Do the masses of the people petition for such legislation? Not at all. The republican party does not ask the great majority of the people anything about legislation. It simply seeks the opinions of those who are conspicuous in business and in finance. It does not fight open battles. It seeks secret advantages. “To-day the republican party has not a policy on any question that it dares to outine before the American people. They say hey want to talk about the money. In I8W they won a victory behind the mask of in

tematlona) bimetallism. They aid not al» vocate the gold standard in 1898. They advocated international bimetallism, and •when the election was over the president sent a commission of throe distinguished men to ask European nations to help us lot go of the gold standard, and the republican congress appropriated IKgkOQO to pay tho expenses of the commission. Now, if tho gold standard was good, why did the republican party appropriate money to get rid of a good thing? I know how careful republicans are with public money, and I cannot imagine that a republican congress would be willing to squander <100,000 to rid this country of a blessing. Republicans Fear the Issues. “But when the commission returned empty-handed, then the republicans dropped the pretense of international bimetallism. When England spanked our commislson and sent it home then the republicans turned over on the subject. Now they are very anxious for the gold standard. Why, it is less than a year since they passed a bill through the house and the senate, and the bill received the signature of the president. The fourteenth section of that bill provided that the bill was not Intended to lay an obstacle in the way of the restoration of bimetallism when ether nations would help us to clo it, and yet today the republican party seems very anxious to discuss the money question. “The reason why the republicans are so anxious to discuss the money question is that the republican leaders are familiar with the arguments which they used in 1898 and they cannot think of any argument to use in defense of the trusts, the large standing army and the imperial policy. Already the republican has advocated the retirement of the greenback, Did any republican in this audience ever petition congress to retire the greenbacks? And yet the republican party is responsible for a financial bill which provides for the retirement of the greenbacks, wbich do not draw interest, and the substitution of banknotes, issued by banks, based on bonds, which do

Makes No/War 01 Wealth. Mr. Bryan continued by defining the attitude of the democratic party toward wealth. These remarks were brought out by the presence on the pla tform of ex-Sen-ator Henry Q. Davis and his brother, Thomas C. Davis, “The democratic party makes no war upon the honest accumulation of wealth,’* he said, hnd continued by the declaration that objections to the policies proposed by that party were made by predatory wealth hiding behind honest wealth. “The democratic party,’’ he went on, “Is no menace to the man who wants to cat the bread that he earns. Its only menace is to the man who wants to eat the bread that someone else earns, without paying for the bread. Since 1898 all the ev il tendencies then noticed in the republican party have been Increased, and to-day people pee what is going on who did not realise that In 1898. Many who did not understand the money trust are able to understand the Industrial trust. Many who did not realise what It meant to have a monopoly given to one kind of money, now find out what a Standard Oil monopoly or a barbed wire monopoly, ora sugar trust monopoly means; men who did not see that they would soon be the victims of this concentrating spirit, if continued, have since become the victims of it.’’ In this connection Mr, Bryan made the following reference to traveling men and the effect of the trusts upoEg^em. “Why. in 1896 there weire a great.many traveling men who were deluded and led to believe that all we needed was a republican administration, ancl they went up and down the land and preached for the republican party. Traveling Men Have Suffered. “But since the election no class has suffered more than the traveling men. I remember reading during the campaign how the traveling men went down to Canton and they took a band, and they marched in procession to the house of the presidential candidate, and he received them and made a speech to them and told them how important the traveling men were; told them that you could not tell the sentiment of the people better than to inquire of the traveling men. I wonder if it would not be proper for the traveling m en who have lost their places since the last election because of the trusts to organize an excursion to go down to the president's home and let the band play the dead no arch'in Saul. The traveling men are realizing that the trust, la reaching them, and if any of you in this4 audience have not realized what the trust means, it iz only a question of time when you will. If the republican party stays in power.” Mr. Bryan expressed the opinion tjiat the people ware getting tired of republican politics. “The old way of fighting was,” he said, “for the strongest man to (pound the weaker one until he hollers ’enough,’ and when ho hollered ’enough’ the pounding stopped. Now-, in this government whenever the people get tired of being pounded by a bad system they holler ‘enough.’ Now is the time for the republicans to holler ’enough,’ but if you have not been pounded enough yet I will promise you that if republican politics continue you will be pounded until

Youk Men's Chance Gone. “What Is the chance for the young men? If he goes upon the farm he finds that the farmer Is not having his share of the blessings of the country nor his share of the government’s protection. If he becomes a laboring man, wfiat are his chances by manual labor to acquire ■'a comptency? If he becomes a business man, how does he know that some trust will not step to his store door and give him a chance to choose between bankruptcy anci joining a conspiracy against his felloes? “You will find that as wealth concentrates the small man will be driven out. the independent citizen will become a clerk and the young lawyer who enters upon his profession with hope and ambiti9n will become merely a clerk in the office of some lawyer for the trusts. “You will find that this republican system, this system of private monopoly, is condemning the young men td perpetual clerkship and shutting the door of opportunity in his face. It is strange u.-. fathers and mothers, interested in their children’s welfare, do not see what, the se conditions are bringing about. “But if you are not able to understand how economic conditions are affecting you let me ask you. Can you ignore the tendency toward imperialism that has been manifested in this country under this administration? Has the poor man any treason for wanting a large army? Has the farmer any reason for desiring a large military establishment. Has the country merchant? Has the ordinary man? These people do not profit by a large standing army. “The large standing army is intended in this country for the extension of our trade by force and violence. The poor men will furnish sons for the army,; but the contractors and the exploiters will reap the profiits. I 4 Imperialism Is Sellih. “The colonial policy," he concluded, "la not carried on for education or for the support of Christianity. It was undertaken under'the mask of benevolence, but the inspiring motive was the almighty dollar, and if we enter upon an imperial policy it will not be to educate the Filipinos. It will not be to Christianize them. It is the Christian portion of the Philippine islands that is now in revolt against us, and it is the Mohammedan portion that is most friendly to us. “Our flag is most secure /as it floats over the palace of the sultan of Sulu. And the republican administration pays the sultan so much a month to let the flag float therev And if you republicans think that your party stands for the doctrines it used to stand for I want to remind you that a treaty has been made by the republican administration with that potentate whereby slavery is recognized under the American flag. The same treaty that provides that the stars and stripes shaiil float over the sultan’s palace recognises slaves as an asiatinx institution."

A VAGRANT FROM BOSTON, If* AatoiUhed « BalllC by HkHlfk* Flown Laigugc In Conrt. • Bailiff Ken dig is recognized as something ci a wit. The lirst prisoner to be subjected to the laconic thrusts of the bailiff in the police court the other day was Wuliam Boss, says the Washington Times. The charge against him was vagrancy, and ae he was arraigned Kendig said, sotto voce: * rolling stone gathers no mose.” fie then added, “that is a true saying.” Much to the surprise and chagrin of Kendig, Koss r^glied jfeithout the faintest semblance of a smile: do you not quote that aphorism correctly? As we say it in Boston it is: ‘Any petrified formation endowed with a rotary motion shows no affinity for the collection of lichenous particles.’ ” “That will do from you,” said Kendig, you are charged as a vag. Are you guilty or not guilty?” Row answered not guilty, but the evidence was against him. Policeman Gordon declared that he found Ross begging at the Baltimore 4 Ohio raiiroad station. Ross claimed that the only begging he did waa to beg the policeman to release him. Judge Mills sent Ross to the workhouse for 60 days iu default of bonds in the sum of $20.

The Fall of Babylon. “Now, children,” said the Sunday school teacher, “which of you can tell me why Babylon fell?” There was a lone silence. The little ones bent over and* looked at one another and drew long breaths, but none of them said anything. “Come, come!” the teacher exclaimed at length. “I’m surprised! Isn't there any little boy or girl in this class who can ted why Babylon fell? Isn’t there any one of you who can think of any reason why Babylon should have fallen?” Then a boy with large brown freckles on the bridge of his nose and a thumb with a blackened nail put up his hand. “Ah,” the sweet-faced teacher said, “I thought some of you must know, if you only stopped to think.
