Decline Daring Anjnst Throughout tbe Entire Belt. By Tele(trDn to the Morning Btar. Washington, September 10. The monthly report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture shows the average condition of cotton on September 1 to have been 68. 2 as com pared with seventy-six on August 1, 1900; 63.5 on September 1, 1899; 79.8 at the corresponding date in 1898, and 76.6, the mean of September averages of the last ten years. Except in Missouri, where there is no appreciable change in condition, there has bees a decline during Au -gust throughout the entire cotton belt The loss amounts to two points in Oklahoma, three in Alabama and Florida, four in Virginia, six in Texas, seven in Louisiana, eight in Georgia, thirteen in Tennessee, fourteen in South Carolina, sixteen in North Caro lina, eighteen in Arkansas and nine teen in Indian Territory. As on Augmst 1, a condition below the ten year average is almost every where reported, the deficiency being eight points in Louisiana, nine in Georgia, ten in Florida, fourteen in Virginia and Arkansas, fifteen in Ten nessee, seventeen in North Carolina and eighteen in 8outh Carolina and Mississippi. Only in Texas, where the condition is six points above the tfin year average. Is the condition other than distinctly and more or less seriously unfavorable. As compared with September 1, 1899, present conditions are less favor able in North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Lou isiana and Tennessee, to .the extent of nine, six, twelve, eighteen, four and twelve points respectively and more favorable in Texas, Arkansas, Indian Territory and Oklahoma to the extent of sixteen, three, nineteen and eighteen points re spectively. In Georgia the general condition on September 1 corresponds as closely as it was possible to estimate it to what it was on September 13, last year. The condition in the different States on September 1 was as follows: Vir ginia 73 ; North Carolina 64, South Carolina 60, Georgia 69, Florida 71, Alabama 64, Mississippi 60, Louisiana 70, Texas 77, Arkansas 65, Tennessee 64 Missouri (4, Oklahoma 78, Indian Territory 72.

Wafers Have Subsided. By Telegraph to tne Morning Btar. Houston, Texas, September 10. Richard Spillane. a well known Gal veston newspaper mau. and day cor respondent of the Associated Press in that city, who reached Houston to day after a terrible experience, gives this account of the disaster at Galveston One of the most awful tragedies of modern times has vi&ited Galveston. The city is in ruins and the dead will number nrobablv one thousand, i am iust from the city, having been com missioned by the mayor and citizens committee to tret in touch wiiu me outside world and appeal for help. Houston was the nearest point at which workinc telegraph instruments could be found, the wires as well as nearly all the buildings between here and the Gulf or Mexico being wrecnea. When I left Galveston shortly be fore noon vesterday the people were organizing for the prompt -burial of the dead, distribution or rood anu an necessary work after a period of dis ater. A Terrible Tempest. The wreck of Galveston was brought about by a tempest so terrible that no words can adequately describe its in tensity and by a flood which turned the city into a raging sea. The Weather Bureau records show that the wind attained a velocity of eighty four miles an hour when the measur ing instrument blew away, so it ia im possible to tell what was the maxi mum. The storm began at 2 o'clock Satur day morning. Previous to that a great storm had been raging in the Gulf and the tide was over high. The wind was at first from the north and was in direct opposition to the force from the Gulf. While the storm in the Gulf piled the water up on the beach beside the city, the north wind piled the water from the bay on the bay part of the city. About noon it be came evident that the city was going to be visited with disaster. Hundreds of residences along the beach front were hurriedly abandoned, the fami lies fleeing to dwellings in higher portions of the city. Every home was opened to the refugees, black or white. The winds were rising constantly and it rained in torrents. The wind was so fierce that the rain cut like a knife. Entire City Submerged. By 3 o'clock the waters of the Gulf and bay met and by dark tne entire city was submerged. The flooding of the electric light plant and gas plants left the city in darkness. To go upon the streets was to court death. The wind then was at cyclonic velocity: roors, cisterns, portions of buildings, telegraph poles and walls were falling and the noise of the wind and the crashing of the buildings were terri fying in the extreme. The wind and waters rose steadily from dark until 1:45 o'clock Sunday morning. During all this time the people of Galveston were like rats in traps. City UnderWater. The highest portion of the city was four to five feet under water, and in the great majority of cases the streets were submerged to a depth of ten feet To leave a house was to drown. To remain was to court death in the wreckage. Such a night of agony has seldom been equalled. Without ap parent reason the waters be?an sud denly to subside at 1.45 A. M. Within twenty minutes they had gone down two feet, and before daylight the streets were practically free of the wa ter, in the meantime the wind had veered to the southeast. ery few. if any buildings escaped injury. There is hardly a habitable dry house in the city. When the people who had escaped death went out at daylight to view the work of the tem pest and the floods they saw the most nombie sights imaginable. In the three blocks from Avenue N to Ave nue P, in Tremont street, I saw eight bodies. Four corpses were in one yard. Business Front Swept. The whole of the business front for three blocks from the Gulf was strip ped of every vestige of habitation, the dwellings, the great bathing establish ments, the Olympia, and every struc ture having been either carried out to sea or its ruins piled in a pyramid far into the town, according to the vaga ries of the tempest. The first humed glance over the city showed that the largest structures, supposed to De me most substantially ouui, sunerea tne greatest. The Or phans' Home fell like a house of cards. - How many dead children and refugees are in the ruins could not be ascertained. Of the sick in St. Mary's infirmary, together with the attendants, only eight are understood to have bBea saved. The Old Woman's Home.on Rosen berg avenue, collapsed, and the Rosen berg school house is a mass of wreck age. The Ball High School is but an empty shell, crushed and broken. Every church in the city, with possi bly one or two exceptions, is in ruins. Many Soldiers Killed. At the forts, nearly all thn snlriiors are reported dead, Ihey having been in temporary quarters, which gave them no protection against the tempest or the flood. No report has been rAcnivoH fmm the Catholic Orphan Asylum down the island, but it seems imnnnihlA that it could have withstood the hurricane. If it fell, aLLthe inmates were no doubt lost, for there was no aid within a mile. The business front, from end to nH is in ruins. Nothing but nilinv ami the wreck of great warehouses remain. The elevators lost all their upper wonts ana ineir stocks are damaged by water. The life station at Fort Point wo carried away, the crew being swept across tne bay fourteen miles to Texas City. I saw the captain yesterday and he told me that his wif A and rtna nt Viin crew were drowned. At Texas City. The shore at Texas City contains enough wreckage to rebuild a city. ight persons who were swept across the bay during the storm were picked up there alive. Five corpses were also picked up. There were three fatali ties in Texas City. In addition to the living and the dead which the storm cast up at Texas City, caskets and coffins from one of the cemeteries at Galveston were being fished out of the water there yesterday. In the business portion of the city two large brick: buildings, one occu pied by Knapp Brothers and the other by the Cotton Exchange saloon, col lapsed. In the Cotton Exchange saloon there were about fifteen per sons. Most of them escaped. Up to the time I left Galveston three dead had been taken from the ruins. They were: Stanley G. Spencer, manager of the Elder Dempster Steamship Coin paoy; j.ictaru utra, tramc mauai-.r for George McFadden & Brother, l nhoi-loo Knlini- .f tha firm of La -11 mers & Flint! .

Miraculous Fscapes. Some of the stories of the escapes Ion a William Nisbett. a cotton man. was buried in the ruins of th Cotton Exchange saloon and when dug out in tile, morning had no further injury than a few bruisea Dngers. Damage fo Shipping. Eight ocean steamers were torn from their moorings ana stranaea id mo bay. The Kendall Castle was carried over the flats of the Thirty-third street wharf to Texas City and lies in the wreckage of the Inman pier. The Norwegian steamer Gyller is stranded between Texas City and Virginia Point An ocean liner was swirled around throuffh the West bay. ciasbea through the bay bridges ana w now lying in a few feet of water near tbe cf the railroad bridges The steamshiD Taunton was carried across Pelican Point, and is stranded about ten miles ud the East bay. ihe Mai- lorv steamer Alamo was torn from her wharf and dashed upon Pelican flats and against the bow of the British steamer Red Cross, which baa pre viouslv been hurled there. The stern of the Alamo is stove in and the bow of the Red Cross is crushed. Down the channel to the Jetties two other o:ean steamships lie grounded. Some schooners, barges. and smaller craft are strewn bottom side up along the slips of the piers. The tug Louise, of the Houston Direct Navigation Company, is also a wreck. It will take a week to tabulate the dead and the missing and to get any thing near an approximate idea of tbe monetary loss. It is safe to assume that one-half of the property of the city is wiped out and that one half of the re sidents have to face absolute poverty. For ten miles inland from the shore it is a common sight to see small craft. such as steam launches, schooners and oyster sloops The life boat of the life saving station was carried half a mile inland, while a vessel that was anchored in Moses Bayou lies high and dry five miles up from Lamarque. The Galveston News asked to have it announced that all the men of its staff are safe. Dr. S. O. Young, secretary of the Cotton Exchange, was knocked sense less when his collapsed, but was re vived by the water and was carried ten blocks by the hurricane. A woman who had iust given birth to a child was carried from her home to a house a block distant, the men who were carrying her having to hold her high above their heads, as the water was nve feet deep when she was moved. Many stories were current of houses falling and inmates escaping. Clarence w. uustry, editor or the hiVienina Trib une1 had his family and the families of two neighbors in has house when the lower half crumbled and the upper part slipped down into the water. Not one in the house was hurt. Of the Lavine family six out of seven are reported dead ; of the Burnett family, only one is known to have been saved. The family of Stanley G. Spencer. who met death in the Cotton Ex change, is reported to be dead. Storm Played Out. Washington. September 10 Pro fessor Willis Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau, said to-day that the West Indian storm which developed into a hurricane after reaching the United States and did such appalling damage in Texas, was central in Oklahoma to day and was rapidly losing its destructive charac ter, the wind at Oklahoma City being reported is blowing at thirty miles an hour. It will pass into history as one of the most disastrous as well as pecu liar atorms on record. FOREIGNERS MURDERED BY CHINESE BOXERS. Massacres and Persecutions of Native Christians Continue People Believe Empress Has Won Victories. rcopyrlghted 19C0 by the Associated Press J Shangaai, ;Sept 8. John Good- now, the United States consul general here, after inquiries in every possible source, learns that the number of British and American missing and probably murdered during the upribiug yii , 1 r rt t 1 . . mtn . i in unina nas oeen vo, wmie isu oiners. stationed in Chi Li and Shan Si prov inces, are unaccounted for and there is reason for the belief that they have met the same fate. Of those whose deaths have beenctually proven, 22 were Americans and 34 British. There is stroDg proof that 37 more were killed at Tai Yuen. All the natives from that place tell substantially the same story. Ten men, thirteen women and seven children are known to have been there. The list of missing numbers : Americans, 20 men, 21 women and 20 children, British 41 men, 49 women and 19 children. ) It is impossible to get the numbers of the Catholics killed but there were many French priests and sisters and some were in the country where the Russians are fighting. - There were also several Swedish and Danish Prot estants. The massacres and persecution of Chinese Christians continue every where, and it is said the anti- foreign leaders intend to exterminate them. The literati and minor officials are sending memorials to the Dowager Empress, thanking her for ridding the country of foreigners. All the information coming from the interior is that, except in those parts of the country which the foreign troops occupy, the people believe that the Empress has won great victories and has driven out the foreigners. It is asserted thejr will continue to think so until the foreigners who were com pelled to flee are able to return and conspicuous punishments are inflicted in retaliation for those who were killed. Acting Secretary of the Treasury Spalding has ordered two revenue cut ters, one at Norfolk and one at Wil mington, N, C, to proceed at once to Mobile, Ala., and there await orders. It is expected that they will be needed in supplying food to the Galveston sufferers. Red Hot From The Gun Was the ball that hit G. B. Stead man, of Newark, Mich., in the Civil War.

ATTITUDE OF OTHER POWERS No Confirmation of Report That Great Britain and Germany Have Joined in An Agreement to Remain In Pekln Together. By Cable to the Mornlnir Star. Washington, Sept. 10. --The de velopments of the day in the Chinese-! situation still point to a speedy with drawal of the United States troops from China. General Chaffee has added the weight of his opinion to that already entertained by many offi cials here. It probably is significant that the general's statement on this point was given publicity by the ad ministration. No confirmation is at hand here of the report that Great Britain and Qer manv have joined in an agreement to remain together in Pekin, regardless of the attitude of the other powers. Should this be true, the fact, doubt less, would hasten the rearward movement of the American troops, for there is a firm determination to avoid becoming involved in any clash between the powers, such as might reasonably be expected to follow the execution of this reported Anglo tier- man programme. It does not follow that because the United States troops are to bo withdrawn this Autumn from China that our interests will be left completely to the mercy of the powers. On the contrary such disposition will be made of these troop3 that they, with others, if necessary, can be returned to China. To this end the entire army of (jreneral Chaffee will be quartered in some of the pleasantest and most salu brious portions of the Philippines. If they are wanted again in China they can be transported inside of a week. thoroughly refreshed and fitted for effective action. Message from Chaffee. Washington, Sept. 10. The fol lowing dispatch has been received by tbe War Department from ueneral Chaffee at Pekin, dated Sept. 4th : "Evidence accumulates that diplo matic relations will not be resumed here for a long time. The Russian legation will leave very soon for Tien Tsin. Appears to me certain that Chinese gevernment will not return here while the foreign army remains. and if this is true our legation can transact no business. In my opinion Pekin 13 to be merely the camp of a foreign army, pending settlement by powers at other points." LI Hung Chang's Credentials. Washington, September 10. The Chinese minister has received an im perial edict conferring on Li Hung Chang extraordinary power for the complete settlement of the Chinese trouble. It gives him authority to make any terms according to his own discretion, without referring them to the Emperor. This is unusual author ity and, it is claimed at the Chinese legation, gives Li Hung Chang creden tials adequate to meet all the objec tions heretofore raised as to his power to negotiate for peace. Minister Wu de livered the edict to the State Depart ment this morning. It is dated two weeks ago. but is just forwarded from Li Hung Chang. Ureat Britain and Germany. London, September 10. A special dispatch from Berlin says that Great Britain and ttermany have agreed not to evacuate Pekin until full satisfac tion for the recent outrages has been obtained. DEATH PENALTY IN WOODS. Negro Fiend Reported Lynched for Crime Against Carolina Woman. Special to the Washington Post. Winston, N. C, Sept 9. The im pression prevails here that the negro who assaulted Mrs. Patterson, wife of a prominent farmer in Rockingham county, Thursday, has been caught and hanged or shot to death. A man who was out with the searching party was nere to day, ana told officers that there was no need to hunt for the negro any longer. He gave no partic ulars, but the officers were led to be lieve that the negro brute, whose name has not been learned, has paid tne penalty or nis crime. THE COAL MINERS Strike Will Be Declared If Efforts fo Settle Pail. ay Telegraph to the Horning Star. Shamokin, Pa., September 10- George W. Hartlein, secretary of the Shamokin district. United Mine Workers of America, received the fol lowing dispatch at 8 o'clock to-night from President John Mitchell at Chicago. "if efforts now being made to settle fail, strike will be declared in a few days. Advise miners to get ready." ELECTION IN MAINE. Returns So Par Show a Democratic Gain of Twenty Per Cent. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Portland, Me., September 10. Re turns from 200 towns and plantations out of 312 districts, give Hill, Rep., 43,734 ; Lord, Dem., 24,167. The same places, four years ago, gave Powers, Rep., 48,762. and Frank. Dem.. 19.439. This shows a Republican loss of 11 per cent, and a Democratic gain of 20 per cent. On this basis it is estimated that the Republican plurality this year will be about 32,291. BOERS RETREATED. Boiler Captured the Position at Spiizkop. The British Loss. By cable to the Horning Btar. London, September 10. The War Office has received a report from Lord Roberts saying General Buller on Sep tember 8th captured the Boer position at Spitzkop.

QALVEST0N AND ITS TRADE. One of tbe Leading Seaports of tbe En tire Sooth. Galveston is the largest city in Texas and one of the leading seaports of the South. Returns of tbe present census, re cently published, showed that it had a population of 37,789, having grown from 29.084 in 1890. An island at the mouth of Galveston bay contains the chief part of the city, Connection with the mainland was made by means of bridges. Galveston is the county seat of the county of that name. Tne island is three miles broad and thirty miles long. It has an aver age elevation of only seven or eight feet above the water, rendering it par ticularly liable to damage by storm The bay extends northward from the city to the mouth of Trinity river, a distance of thirty-five miles, and varies in breadth from twelve to eighteen miles. The city is 550 miles southwest of New Orleans. The harbor of Galveston is one of the best in the South, and the govern ment has been improving it. Steam ships ply regularly between the port and the chief commercial cities of Europe. It is the terminus of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf, the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe and the Galveston, Houston and Henderson railroads. The city is a centre for ex porting cotton and grain. It has yaried manufacturing industries, and alto gether is one of the South s most pro gressive cities. TEXAS COTTON CROP. Seriously Injured by the Recent Severe Hurricane. By Telegraph to the Moraine star. Houston, Texas, Sept 10. There is no doubt that the cotton crop has been seriously injured throughout Southern and Central Texas. Owing to tbe excessive rams this year the cotton has grown to weed more than ever known and in some fields it ranges from six to ten feet high and is very rank with leaf. The wind has whipped and twisted the stalks, beat ing the open cotton out of the burr. and the rain has beaten it into the ground so that it is ruined.
