tho Kusslan government does not confess to

merely gives a different Interpretation to

Mcerh, who for years has been n prominent
missionary In China, has Just returned as
a refugee from that country. He writes a
long letter to the Times eulogizing the
action of Americans of all classes toward
refugees, contrasting 11 with the apathy
ami Indifference of English nfllclals to their
own countrymen In trying circumstances.
"When It became necessary to leave our
home In the Interior," Mr. .Meech writes.
"It was through the kindness, forethought
and consideration of American missionaries
that we were, humanely speaking, enabled
to reach the const In safety. It was to
Americans that we were Indebted for lllfor.
mat Ion which reached us loganllng outside
events. To them was due the preparation
of moans of transportation by which wu
were enabled to reach the coast.
"To the American consul at Che Foo are
due the warmest thanks of many scores of
missionaries and others. On his own re
sponsibility and at his own cost, for the
time being, he chartered a steamer to make
four trips to meet the various parties of
refugees who h.td reached a Chinese port
ard t-envey them to Che I'oo. Hut for this
provision many of us might have shared
the fate of not a few lu Chi M and Shan
SI whose facts we shall not see again.
For I lie enterprise innl brotherly regard of
the Americans we must ever bo most grate
ful. "In strong contrast with this action Is
the strcnge apathy nntl indifference of the
Ilrltlsh ollleltils. Whilo American citizens
were received and treated by their officials
us guests Ilrltlsh subjects were pushed
from pillar to post and left to provldo
for themselves.
"The fact that our American brothers
have been actuated, not by law only, but
by grace, not only to their own people,
but to those of other nationalities, deucrves
all the aekno -lodgment whlrh can be
given."

IliJRMN, .Sept. 15 The papcts today
neatly nil condemn tho placing of the Her
man loan In the L'tilted States as calculated
to humiliate the nation. The Vosslsche
.cltuug publishes figures showing tho Im
perial government hnd 1 10,000. 01)0 marks on
hand and says: "Why, then, borrow abroad,
thus putting (icrmany on u par with Russia
nnd smaller nnd loss mouied countries? Tho
empire would not have found It dltllcull
to raise the amount here without the aid of
any bank."
The lloursen Coucrler, Uoursen Zeltung
and Cologne Vnlks Keltung express them
selves similarly. The correspondent of the
Associated Press learns, however, authori
tatively that (lermau government circles
have been most agreeably touched by the
manner In which tho Herman loan has been
taken up In tho United States, particularly
with the New York Life Insurnucc com
pany's large participation. The correspond
ent of the Associated Press learns from n
lerson who saw Dr. Mluuel. tho minister ot
nuance, iiiik aueriiooii uiru ue is iienguieu
with the success of the loan and the New
York Life Insurance company's subscription.
A London paper's statement that this Is
only an Installment of a total loan of "00,

respondent of the Associated Press called
tho Relchsbank olllclals' attention tn the
statement nntl they refused to deny It. A
representative of Dr. Mlciucl, however, em
phatically denied It. Dr. Mlqucl informed
him that tho Imperlnl government's needs
are satisfied for the present.
The Associated Press Informant also con
tradicted the statement cabled from New
York that part of the loan will be placed
In (Jertnany. It Is understood that tho
Herman f,overnmcnt's idea In placing tho
loan in America was the disaffection in

The Chlneso nituntion is here deemed to
be highly unsatisfactory and most compli

medlatily expected nnd Isolated action
upon the part of any one power Is not an
ticipated. According to the opinion here,
all the Interested powers are too firmly
convlncod of tho Importance of continued
harmony and solidarity to Jeopardize thorn
when no necessity calls for It. It is not
expected In Horlln that either Russia or
France will withdraw their troops hur
riedly from I'ekln, nud It Is believed tho
I ulted States will not be In any greater
hurry. Information has reached this city
that Russia In any event will keep largo
bodies of troops In China, not only In the
frontier provinces of Mongolia, Manchuria,
Kltin, but also lu the interior nnd the

commanders of the allied forces havo

noLOSbary to strengthen tho tactical and

the diplomatists the way has been some
what cleared for tho accomplishment of

burg explaining thut Russia's rrnl Intent
Is wholly dllferent from the mcnnlg de
duced from the text of tho original pro

tached to the Rcml-ofllcial statement that
Russia recognizes tho impossibility of the
allies leaving Pekln unless the Chinese gov
ernment immediately enters, so thnt there
shull be no Interval without a government.
Additional confirmation of this view Is
found In tho fact that Russia haa resumed
sending forces to China. This Is entirely
contrary to the supposed spirit of the Rus
sian note and prepares observers for n
change of plans after tho apparent failure
of thu policy favored In tho original noto.

though they are fully alive to the possibil
ity of u .Muscovite move In some unex

from Hermany. They point nut thnt many
allegations of Intrlgun. founded on tho most
trivial Incidents nnd others like the report
that Li Hung Chung Is traveling tinder the

been disproved. They deprecate the at

Lord Salisbury's return to Kngland has
qulLkened speculation us to tho dutu of
the general election. Nobody outside the
premier's political surrounding knows the
date of the dissolution, but the kingdom
will bo In tho throes of an electlou dur

tion dissolving parliament will, In nil prob
ability, be signed ut the council which the
queen will hold nt Ilalmoral on Monday.
It is likely that tho dato determined upon
will be September 25.
President Kruger's nrrlval at Dolugoa

The nevvB which was printed hero this

the Southern Pncitle that that toad la
not to abandon Halveston hns created In

celerated the movement for the speedy re
construction of tho city.
Mr. Huntington's telegram was to A.

You can assure tho people to that effect."
So Fenr of ICiililriiilc.
Dr. W. 11. mount, mate health ofllcer,
today printed a statement Knowing that nn
apprehensions nro Justified thnt sickness
will result Horn the overflow Just ex
perienced. He hIiuwh that In 1S67. tn the
midst of tlie widespread epidemic of yel
low fever, n severe storm occurred at
Halveston In the early days of October,
resulting In u deposit over a grenter por

curred thereafter.
Several thousand men nre at work clear
ing away the debris on the beach. One
hundred and fifty bodies wero discovered
In the wreckage and burned yesterday.
j No attempt Is now being made lo identify
recovered bodies. Indeed must of them are
found naked and mutilated beyond recog
nition. A New York relief train arrived last
night with it number of physicians and
mimes and n latTi- supply of provisions,
which were distributed today.
Kvery effort Is being made hy tho postal
authorities to recelvo and distribute mall
No city delivery has yet been arranged for
and all who expect letters are required to
call at tho postofHco. No mail Is being
collected from letter boxes.
In some quarters of the city today tho
water works company wns serving custom

During tho late hours of tho evening de

for several days as rapidly an the linemen
could work and In tho ovtdng tho current
was turned on. The lights wnro small In
candescent globes and they nro high up on

tho city of tho darkness that has hovered
over tho ruins for the print week. The
streets, heretofore, havo not permitted
street cars and blryclcs. In different parts

During the day bodies wero found nt fre

I, urge Part of City 1'iiri'ii'r Lost.
Tho residents of Galveston aro plucky In
tho extreme) In tholr determination to re
build and multo Halveston a greater and
better city than it haa over been before,
but In ono direction at least they havu
suffered n loss that Is beyond repair and
that lies In tho extent of tho territory
wrested from Uie-m by the storm. Thu
waters of tho gulf now cover nbout 6,300.
000 sqnnre feut of ground that wns formerly
a part of Halvostou. This loss has boon
suffered entirely lu the south Btdn of thu
city, where tho finest residences were
built facing tho gulf and where land was
held ut a higher valuation than In nny
other part of tho city with the exception
of tho business district.
For threo miles along tho shoro nf tho
gulf this choice rosldenco property ex
tended, but the shore Unci was ho changed
by the storm that at low tide Iho watei
lr 3.10 feet higher along tho entire three
inllc'g. Jn the eastern purl of tho dty
there are places where 3S0 feet Is les
than the actual amount of ground taken
from tho city. It Is n fair estimate, how
ever, for the entire distance. The founda
