Raports reaching the Governor show .tht tho railroads, telegraph and tele "TjoTio companies have suffered an im mense loss. The Governor was in formed to day that quito a number of tups from New Orleans and other available points had either arrived or were en route to Galveston and that by Saturday the transportation prob leui would be solved eo far as getting people from the island to the mainland was concerned. Hundreds applied again to-day to Governor Sayers for permits to go to Galveston, but ha refused all. Baying that thero were already too many peo ple there and ia cases of emergency the local managers of the relief corps were better able to act oa their discre tion thau bo dictated to by him. 700 Bodies Snok in the Sea. The citizens of Galveston are strain-" ing every nerve to clear the ground and secure from .beneath the debris the bodies of human beings and ani mals and to get rid of them. It is a task of great magnitude, and it is at tended with untold difficulties. There i3 a shortage of horses to haul the dead and there is a shortage of willing hands to perform the gruesome work. Yesterday morning it became apparent that it would, be impossible to bury the dead even in trenches, and ar- to sea. Barges and tugs were quickly made ready for the pur pose, but it was difficult to get men to do the work. The city's fire men worked- hard in bringing bodies to the wharf, but outside of them there were few who helped, Soldiers and policemen were accord ingly sent out and every able-bodied man they found was marched to the wharf front. The men were worked in relavs and were supplied with slimulants to nerve them for their task.

By Telegraph to the Horning Star. Washington, September 12. The p-reat West Indian storm, which has been the center of meterological inter- eats for the cast twelve days, is fast disappearing into the Atlantic by way of Cape Breton island, the barometer at Sydney to-night reading 29.02 inches. South to west eales have re suited from this storm, and to-day thev extended alone- the entire coast northward. Boston reporting a maxi mum velocity of 52 miles an hour from the west, and New York 64 miles from the west. During Tuesday night a maxi mum velocity of m) miles an nour was reported at Buffalo.

Statements were current in the European capitals last eveiing that all the powers have replied tcthe Russian proposition ; that Great Britain and uermany had ae- clmed to vacute Pekin. that Austria and Italy lad decided to be guided by Germany's decision, and that no other powers had agreed to a more or less rnddlfied withdrawal. The Paris cor respondent of the Morning Post claims to know tha'. the allies will only with draw outsidt the walls of the capital where they vill continue to dominate Pekin in a mUitary sense . Berlin, Sapt. 12. The German Foreign Offic confirms the reports that all the powers have answered the Russian proposal. It considers that if Russia should actually witnaraw ner troops from Pekin, of which there are no present indications, the United States and France would certainly follow. PRODUCE MARKETS.

But when the will ot the convention had been finally igistered, ex-Senator David U liiii was Qrst to propose the unanimous nominate Gf "a friend of lifelong standing, Jon n. stanch field. This attitude prove. M spon taneously infectious, that KViresenta tives of almost every vQty which had opposed Mr. Stance eid were immediately upon their feet atn one by one they were recognized by Chairman Raines to second the nom ination. The ballot for Governor resulted: Stanchfield, 294;Coler, 154; Mackey, 1. The platform begins with pledging the Democracy of New York anew to the principles and policies of Jeffer sonian Democracy, and enforcing the platform adopted by the last Demo cratic national convention. It con tinues:. "We recognize the truth of the dec laration of that convention that the burning issue of imperialism, growing out of the Spanish war. involves the very existence of the republic and the 1 destruction of our institutions, we regard it as the paramount issue of the campaign. - - "Upon this issue, therefore, we in vite all citizens of our State to pro mote the election lot a Democratic President, however;they may differ upon national issues which at this time are inferior in rank." Relative to trusts, the platform specifically condemns "the corporate combination known as the 'ice trust' and denounces all combinations of capital known as 'trusts' as inevitably and intolerably unjust to both pro ducer and consumer, one result of which is 'to destroy all individual en terprise and to rob the young men of the country of the fair competion which in Democratic times constituted the great glory of the nation and per mitted the advancement and indepen dence of our youth."
