A GIlfAT LOSS Of Lift fit PORTf D At Loiut Four Thousand lluiui i Swept Away by Swirling Water* — Futlre Population of City In Danger—Only lll!*;r« Detail*. HOUSTON, Tex., Sept. 10.—The West Indian storm which reached the gulf coast yesterday morning has wrought awful havoc in Texas. Re ports are conflicting, but It is known that an appaling disaster has befallen the city of Galveston, where it Is re perted 1,000 or more lives have been blotted out and a tremendous property damage incurred. Meager reports from Sabine Pass and i'ort Arthur also indicate a heavy loss of life, but these reports cannot be confirme- at this hour. The first news to reach this city from the stricken city of Galveston was received tonight. James C. Tim mins, who resides in Houston and who is the general superintendent of the National Compress company, ar rived in the city at H o'clock tonight from Galveston. He was one 01 the first to reach here with tidings of the great disaster which has oeiallen the city, and the magnitude of that disas ter remains to be told because 01 his endeavors to reach home. After re — mainlng through the hurricane on Sat* * urday he departed from Galveston on a schooner and came across the hay to Morgan’s Point, where he caught a train for Houston. The hurricane, Mr. Timmins said, was the worst ever known. The esti mates made by citizens of Galveston was that 4,000 houses, most of them residences, have been destroyed and that at least people have been drowned, killed or are missing. Home business houses were also destroyed, hut most of them stood, though badly damaged. The city, Mr. Timmins avers, is a complete wreck, so far as he could see from the water front and from the Tremont hotel. Water was blown over the island by the hurricane, the wind blowing at the rate of eighty miles an hour straight from the gulf and forc ing the soa water before it in big ^ waves. The gale was a steady one, T the heart of it striking the city about 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon and con tinuing without intermission until midnight Saturday night, when it abated somewhat, although it contin ued to blow all night. Of his own knowledge Mr. Timmins knew of only one house succumbing with fatal results, though he heard of many residences being carried away with inmates. The house that ho saw destroyed was Hitter’s saloon and res taurant, at 2109 Strand street, a prin cipal business street of the city. This three story building was blown down and nine men—prominent citizens— were killed. Among the dead are: Charles Kel ners, a cotton buyer for an English firm; Stanley C. Spencer, general manager of the Elder-Wemster steam ship line; Richard Ixrrd, manager for McFadden's cotton company, whose body is still in the ruins. Secretary Bailey of the wharf com pany and several waiters and custo mers saved themselves by jumping from the upper story just before the crash came. V It was reported that the orphan asy % lum and both the hospitals were de stroyed and if this proves true the loss of life will be great, as these in stitutions were generally crowded and as they were substantial buildings the chances are that many had taken re fuge in them. The water extended across the isl : nd. Mr. Timmins said it was three feet deep in the rotunda of the Tre mont hotel and was six feet deep in » Market street. £ — \ HI AYV NOIIIINO IN IOIOY1BIA.

BE SECS ACTING SECRETARY IJiLl Ilellcf That fiovrrnment Will Boon Malta Important I’ronounmnmt — Who May Nt'Kollata for r<;uco — ICiBrcrelary Not Likely to Narva. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Minister Wu arrived in Washington from Cape May this afternoon, and although it was near the close of the official day, he proceeded directly to the State de partment. It is understood that he had received an intimation that the department officials were desirous ol conferring with him, hence his return to Washington. For nearly an hour the minister was closeted with Ai l ing Secretary Hill and Assistant Sec retary A dee, tfie door being locked meantime and not even the messen gers allowed entrance. None of the parties to the conference were com municative as to the subject of dis cussion, but at its conclusion l)r. Iliil repaired to the White House with a portfolio well filled with papers. For several hours preceding the minister's visit Acting Secretary Hill and Assistant Secretary Adec ha I been engaged In short conferences and it was gathered that the negotiations relative to China were approaching another phase and that another pro nouncement of some kind was lu prep aration. i he fact is recalled that when the t'nlted States made Its response to the Russian onto on the 28th ultimo the officials here expressed the belief that about a week’s time would be required to determine upon the next step and at the end of that time it would 1)3 definitely known whether or not the troops were to be withdrawn from Pe kin. That period of time has now elapsed. The reports from the Euro pean chancellories indicate that, offi cially at leas', this important subject is being treated with the greatest de liberation and at, least another week and probably even more time, may be consumed in framing the last of the answers to the Russian note. Mean while our government has pretty well satisfied itself as to the attitude to ward this last proposition of each and all of the powers interested in the Chinese problem. It may be that this knowledge Is regarded as sufficient upon which to base another forward move and In this case pethaps an in dependent movement by the United States toward the ultimate withdrawal of the troops and the settlement with China which the government has hail in mind since the beginning of the trouble. The consultations with Mr. Wu are believed to have been inspired by a desire to learn something of the per sonality of the Chinese notables whose names have been suggested as proper to constitute the Chinese side of any commission which may be named to arrange a settlement of the difficulties. Mr. Wu is an ardent adherent of Eari LI. There is much speculation here as to the personnel of the American com missioners In case the peace negotia tes should be entrusted to such a body and the names of men prominent in international affairs in recent years all have been canvassed. Included in tlie list is the name of General John W. Foster, but it is regarded as much more probable that if he appears at all in these negotiations it will be in his old place as a representative of the Chinese government. He was as so.dated with Li Hung Chang during the peace negotiations which closed the Chino-Japanese war and it is said that Earl Li hits a high sense of ap preciation of ills work for China then.

SAN .M AN, Ue Porto Rico, Sept. 7.— Governor Allen returned to San Juan today, after a week's tour through the mountainous regions of the island. Having been in receipt of a great va riety of reports concerning the condi tion of the people of those sections, he determined to secure accurate in formation personally and, accom panied only by an interpreter and a pack train, he visited A Point to, Bar ranqullas Parras, Ototado, t'iales and Juyua, going from that place to Ponce, Ilia route took in some of the worst districts. He found considerable crops on the rice and corn plantations, hut little coffee. The people themselves are anxious for work and are ready to build mads. Governor A11* n returned with the conviction that if properly encouraged the portions of the island that ho visited are capable of won derful development. The executive council recently adopted a plan of dividing the island Into districts for political purposes. The federals now claim that the repub licans have been favored at certain points and they threaten to resign and to protest to Washington against the alleged unfairness of th'* division. The American members of the council say the division Is a fair one, as the fed erals get three districts, tno republi cans three and one is left In doubt. Miss Bertha Allen, daughter of the governor, will be married to Bteuten ant Bogan of the Till ted States army next month, the ceremony taking place at the palace. MADRID BOLD MIN ARE SI AIN.

DISCUSS RUSSIAN PROPOSITION Disposition r.vlncril to VIpw ties* Nit tuition Without Prejudice—Cungpr May Itrp rtn iit llin United Nnitis und Wulrirr* Ilia I'blncit. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Within the last twenty-four lion re the United I States government lias received from its representatives in foreign capitate much material information regarding the attitude of the powers on the Rua elan propoaal to evacuate Pekin. These give the general nature of the response made to Husain icy certain c*f tne pow ers. it is stated authoritatively that If there was at any time a prospect of a serious international Hash thin has been very largely, if nut entirely, removed by the harmonious character of the communications the several gov ernments are making. The exact na ture of the responses is not made pub lic by the state department, for there are some replies to lie transmitted and until an or mem are in me negotia tion!! are considered In such an Incom plete form that they will not be made public. It Is said, however, that the answers go much beyond the tenta tive character of those heretofore re ferred to and are of a conclusive na ture, ho far us showing the purposes of the government, although they may not he regerdeil as conclusive in ac cepting or rejecting the particular proposition advanced by Russia. The responses are understood to lie rather long and somewhat argumentative, similar In this respect to the American response. Tit is very fact is a cause for congratulation ntnottg officials, as they point out that there is no dispo sition to treat the proposal with terse ness or In any other manner to give offense, hut rather to bring the powers together on a common basis. On the whole, the general tendency of the re sponses Is such as to give entire satis faction here as to the course of the negotiations. The satisfactory progress of the ne gotiations along these lines has had the effect of directing attention to the personality of the envoys, who prob ably will represent the powers and China in the Anal settlement. The im pression prevails here that Mr. Conger Is eminently fitted for such a task on tiie part of the United States, suppos ing that each of the powers interested in the Chinese problem is to have a separate and individual representative. Mr. Rockhill's name is mentioned as an alternate in ease Mr. Conger does not euro to remain in Pekin or to par ticipate In the settlement. These sug gestions, however, are all speculative, for up to this time the state depart ment lias not conferred the necessary special powers on any one to represent the government in the Dual negotia tions. If the present slate of nffairs in f'hina is protracted until the arrival there of Field Marshal Count Walder see, which should occur In about ten days or a fortnight, it is not to be doubted that the government of Ger many will endeavor to have all the negotiations with the Chinese govern ment conducted through that official as the representative, not of Germany alone, hut of all the powers. It is gath ered that strong arguments will tie advanced to support the advisability of combined action through oup agency in this niattpr as the best means of se curing a speedy and generally satisfac tory termination of the Chinese trou ble. In fact it will be urged that there is little hope for an early adjustment of the differences between the powers and China If each of the powers is to lay down a independent proposition the cnlniinntive effect of which, particular ly In the case of money or territorial indemnities, might he absolutely crush ing to the Chinese empire. fraying N«u < lilumt* Cable.

Lynch of the Union Pacitic land department. "One is that the people who have been in the stock business lu the west for the last few years are now beginning to reap the benefits of their early labors and are enjoying an unprecedented degree of prosperity. The other is that the cattle and sheep men realise the necHslty of securing possession of the runges required for feeding their cattle and sheep.” Applications have Just been received at headquarters in this city for two tracts of land, of which two syndicates of sheepmen in Carbon county, Wyo., wish to get possession in order to have plenty of range for their sheep J.
