With a view, to the restoration of the fortifications in the harbor of Galveston, if such a thing is possible, General Wil son, chief of engineers, this morning organized a board of engineer officers, consisting of Colonel Henry M. Robert, stationed at New York; Major. Henry M. Adams, stationed at New Orleans ;'Capt. Chas. Syltiche, stationed at Galveston, and dvpt. Edgar J ad win, stationed itt New York, to meet at Galveston at the -all of the, senior officer about October 20. The board is instructed to make a careful and critical examination of the jetties and fortifications of Galveston, and to report to the chief of engineers what action is necessary for the repair and restoration of "the fortifications and harbor work. Fire million Dollar Needed Galveston, Sept. 13. The committee cf citizens appointed by the general coni inittee to visit Governor Sayers and con fer with him in regard to relief meas ures for this city, returned this morn ing. They report that the" governor is well pleased with the present arrange- t nients for carrying on the relief work. All funds will pass through the hands of the local finance committee, which is composed of prominent business men. A detailed account will be kept o. all re ceipts and expenditures, so that it may be known how every cent of the money that is received was distributed. It is estimated that four minions of dollars will be needed to take care of the twenty-five thousand needy people of the city and to place the city in tit sanitary condition for habitation. All of this sura will be needed in Galveston. It is estimated that there are- twenty thusand destitute and suffering people in tne smMller towns urA mnfitrv HictHrf of the storm-swept territory of the main land. A larger fund will be required t take care of them. Probably five mil lions of dollars would not be too much for the whole work. A Dlan is being ! matured for taking care of the widows and orphans bv a special fund, such as ". .. . . 'i was done at Johnstown, l'a., after the flood there in 1S89. The committee, which return ed this morplng. from Austin, reports that con tributions are coming from all classes of people throughout the United States and Kuropean countries. They estimate that fully two millions of dollars will have been raise! by to night, and it mav greatly exceed that amount. The Galveston government revenue cutter Avns still aground this morning, but it is thought she will soon b gotten off. The supplies which she has 0:1 board are badly needed here. Another line ofJ)oats will be put on today to ply between the city aud a point jusc below Houston. Train loads of fod and clothing are pouring into Houston from all parts of the State and country. Tm- aie being rushed forward to the mainland oast as fast as the railroads can handle them. The Exodus Continue Galveston, Sept. lo. The exodus of women and children still cont.niies. Almost 1,000 crossed the bav today and went to Houston. It is pi-edicted that next week the rush of the refugees will cease, as conditions are rapidly im proving. There are as yet no ind'eations of more than malarial sickness. The breezes from the. gulf are healthful, and the salt water is now depended upon to assist iu the work of sanitation. There is no starvation in Galveston, food is plenty, fish. Hour, coffee ami canned goods are here, and vegetables, ham anl bacon are coming in. Kestau rauts are open and are using gasolene stoves on the sidewalks. There is no wil1 rush for supplies except by the ne- groes. 1 hey are oy rar tne most numer ous applicants for relief. More than 1."i(0 laborers are well ca'ed for. the government having provided most of the j rations. Six ocean steamships have anchored in the harbor since Tuesday, lhey are nwa finer trrain canroes. . lr. Koh?rtson. the grain inspector, said: "We will be- gir loading the steamers next wee.-. All j this wheat 2,500.000 bushels will be I saved if we have no rain. Colonel Polk. I general manacer of the Santa-be, tells me he will have trains in (1 ilv 'o i ' next week. e never say aie nere. Look un and down these streets ami jo.i will see an example of the greatest hustling ever known." Does Not Tally wltlt Other Report Galveston, Sept. 15. This work of burning bodies continues. Nothing has vet been done toward improving the sani tary condition of the city. The lime and other disinfectants which were ordered shipped here two days ago have not yet arrived, but are expected today. The stench continues to be horrible, and the sickness is increasing. In St. Marv's convent over 400 sick and in jured men, women and children are be ing looked after by Catholic priests. There have been many deaths in this hospital. Sickness is also breaking out among those who are living in their wrecked homes, which are often without floors and in bad sanitary condition. Addi tional medical aid is arriving and the wants of the sick in this respect are well supplied. A The summary in which the guard of soldiers has suppressed lawlessness and pillaging has had the effect of making the city as quiet as death aftev nightfall. The report of a gun is occasionally heard, and t marks the death of some prowler. All law-abiding people retire to their sleeping place at nightfatl, and do not venture out again until day -arrives. The saloons are still closed. The big business houses and the lanks that are open are doing a good business. Two Negroe Drowned Galveston. Sept. 15. The work of relief and search for dead bodies here progresses, the fact is discovered that remarkably few colored people perished in the storm. Most of them lived in a colony in the, lower part of the city in insecure houses. When the water from the gulf began to rise, they aban doned their homes and took refuge with the families of white people for whom thev worked or were acquainted. One wealthy white family here took in over thirty negroes in the early part of the storm and all of them were saved.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 15. The col lieries in this district were operated all day, although shorthanded. ...The Exeter, Austin and Sibley mines, where they struck yesterday, were idle, but alJ the other mines worked. The men with i the Mount Lookout colliery of the Tem ple Iron and Coal Company and at the Connelly Camp collieries at Durpea, went out at noon, but all others up and down the valley worked steadily, the men obeying the orders of their chiefs to the letter. When they left the mines this afternoon they carried their tools and said they would not return Monday.

They will neither deny or atiirui the assertion that they will refuse to handle biiuim nous coal. A meeting of Delaware & Hudson trainmen will be held at Parsons tomorrow to consider how they can aid the strike.

I look for a sp.eedy settlement of the strike when th strength and determination of the miners is .shown. After a careful review of the entire anthracite region, one of the leading onerators today gave his views on the number of men who will respond to the order to strike which goes in to '-effect Monday mornim. He said: "Mond-ay morning all the mines in Lackawanna, 'Sullivan and Susquehanna and nearly all in Luzerne counties will be closed and the men idle.

'In these counties the men have --' fhe same grievances as in the upper part of the coal field where they are paid bv a different svstem and are no- so w H organized. Wten the strike fails it will nrobablv fail first in this region. Efforts of late to complete the organization there have failed. I21glity-foar Tboanand Quit Work Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 15. It is esti mated that when the miners in the strike affected coal region laid down their tools tonight 84,000 did so with no intention of going to work Monday. This is the minimum estimate, while officials of the miners' union say tho number will be 120,000 or over. Try In g to Interest Soft Coal miner Altoona, Pa., Sept. 15. It was learned today that an effort is being made to call out the bituminous- men in a sympa thetic strike with the operatives of the hard-coal fields.

Reports from the disturbed districts in China are re assuring that trouble seems to be sub siding.' A dispatch from Tien Tsin says that the punitive expedition commanded by General. Dorward has occupied Tili and met with no opposition there. The three columns of troops, after two days' march, found that the city had already sur rendered to an officer and eight men of the Bengal Lancers. Upon the arrival of his men, General Dorward ordered that the lown should be. looted and burned as a lesson to the Boxer element among- the Chinese at that place. The allies were most gratified with the signs of submission while they were en route to Tili. Most of the villages through which the international forces passed made peace offerings to the for eigners and a majority of them were spared from the torch because of !their attitude of humility and repentence. Ac cording to General Dorward's observa tions en route, the Boxers have, as a rule, -disbanded, and the country has resumed a moderately peaceful condition. A dispatch from Shanghai.- dated Sep tember 14, 2:15 p. in., says that Hsu Tung, tutor to the heir apparent, has committed suicide. He ended his life by hanging, September 13, in Fuyin Hall, where he was the chancellor. Li Hung Chang, who has been ap pointed, by the Empress Dowager to ne gotiate for peace with the powers, left Shanghai yesterday afternoon, according to a dispatch from that place. Li took the steamer Auping for Taku, from which point. he will-proceed direct to the Celestial capital.

London, Sept. 15.The effects of tho jctton crisis are now plainly visible. The "omasuue eueracion circular recom mending that all users of American cot ton abstain from working their mills for at least twelve days duriug October is likely to be generally supported.

Neill Bros., the well-known cotton staticians,' esti mate it at not more than ninejand three quarter millions bales.
