O0m it A CSiNGB IN THE, WORK. Conttnneel xroan Strst vokb sta neea hu -cuss; am felt sure the governor had aot intended his message to be construed "as the com mittee had evidently construed. It. He regretted tit pusie of th resolution. The -committee, however, stood pet, and copy of tlte resolution was forwarded to Governor Sayers.

After the meeting Major Brsshear wired Brigadier General Scurry la command, at Gal Tea too. tbe terfisran taOnx, herewith, given: s.i's.r "General Scurry. Coarmiandmg. Galveston. Tea.

Governor says that be would ax tend to all matters for the relief of the people oatslde of Harris county. Men were sent from our street forces, at our expense, to lend assistance In Galveston. Therefore please return Immediately. Governor will doubtless fnralsh others. Exceedingly regret ciream-taaces.

but we have been relieved of ail discretion by the governor. H. BBASHBAB, Tikis telegram was answered by General Scurry, who wired: "Cannot dispense with Drennaa and his tea, service Invaluable." General Wosencraft appointed tils committee this afternoon, and after organization, with S. Taliaferro as president, President Garrow, of tha Cotton Exchange, as rice president, held a conference with Mayor Bra tOiear in the lar-ters parlor. At this conference General Wosencraft informed the mayor that a committee had been named to take np the work which, as he said, had been by the Braehear committee.

"I beg your the mayor, "oar committee has abandoned no work. We hare simply had some of the work we were doing taken out of our hands by the governor. We are ready now, as we have been ready since the Galveston storm, to do all In onr power to reUeve the suffering, and we will continue to care for the victims in Harris county." General Wosencraft asked Mr. Bra-shear if he would not reconsider his determination and serve on the' new committee appointed. The mayor said he would be glad to do so, but under the circumstances it would be impossible.

After it, was all over I had a TALK WITH MAYOR BKASHKAK. I found nothing about him to Justify the accusation that he had injected politics Into relief work. He Impressed me as earnest in his desire to do good in any capacity, and assured me that white be and his committee had worked day and night arranging the details of the work and caring for the sick and destitute but to be deposed, they felt no resentment. "We will support the governor's action, said the mayor, "and lend all assistance in our power to the new committee." This was a little later demonstrated practically when the mayor turned over the city offices to the Wosencraft committee with the understanding that the 4ld committee would work In unison with vjr new. Watotiawi Tt wTlrt looks the soldier and who Is evidently a' man ability, for a statement of the whole affair.

He said: "I am thoroughly satisfied with, and very appreciative of, the actions of the Houston relief committee appointed by the mayor, and feel snre that Governor Bayers holds the same views. When I came here yesterday morning It was with the Instructions from the governor to report to the mayor, which I did. The mayor waa sick and could not see me at the 1 presume that the action of the committee this morning we based upon a telegram frotn the governor to its mem-ten ceUJns; them, that for the purpose Oft PBE VESTING a the sending of supplies to the stricken districts the Houston committee's Juxts-dietfion would limited to taking care of sufferers In' Harris county. "I know of no other reason for the passage'of the re solution adopted at the meeting. 'My reason for forming an additional committee was that there Is work to toe done, end It seems necessary to tawe additional assistance to have It weM done.

I thSnk the Houston committee deserves the thanks and commendation of the entire public for eta great services and tbe personal sncrttcea off tame and labor made toy its members. The committee appointed Toy me will take no further charge of affairs than to attend to the supply work resigned by the old committee." The workmg sribcoinnaUtees of the old comnntte were continued- by General Wosencraft. The ladles' which Miss Boslne Byan is the chairman, has been keeping straight ahead, while the masculine workers were at loggerheads, and has been doing great work. Miss Byan 1s a woman of remarkable Intelligence, and has a wonderful tact, which, shows itself In organisation to an unusual degree. I enjoyed a long talk with her this afternoon.

"The New Orleans women are coming to the front," she said. "I am expecting a consignment of goods from the committee, of which MBS. MOLLIE MOO BE DAVIS la chairman, to-morrow. I nave heard much of Mrs. Davis, and when I found out she was leading the movement In New Orleans I was grestly encouraged, tor we need so many things.

"We want clothes for the babies worst of all. It just makes my heart bleed to see the little ones without anything to wear. There are so many of them. Why, every woman who comes In for help has several children with her, and they are all destitute. "Tell your people to send us something for them to wear.

We will actually trade children for clothes." continued Miss Byan. smiling. "We want homes Cor the little orphans left by the horrible storm. We have requests for babies, and most everybody seems to want a boy. The girls are not altogether friendless, though.

Let the people of New Orleans who haven't any litttle ones of ttketr own come and take charge of some of the helpless Innocents whose fathers and mothers have been taken from them." Miss Byan has a large force of women, young and old, working under her. The large ball in which they are making their headquarters Is well filled with clothing, but there Is need for I saw worn, on applying for assistance there this afternoon who had not shoes on their feet, and whose dresses were so thin sad ragged that they seemed morOfied to be seen la them. "Hats and caps for little boys, and hoes and stockings for boys and girls, too. are wanted by. us." I wish everybody would hurry up and send In all they an spars.

Too have no Idea- how much we need the things." Detective Oscar Bobouln, of the Houston poBce, returned from Galveston to- ay, where he has been on lie was engaged Is the task of watching out fur vindais robbing dead bodies, and bad Instructions to Jc SHOOT THEM ON SIGHT. These Instructions were not carried out to the letter by the Houston officer, although he had an opportunity to obey them He came upon two. men In the act of robbing a body" and Immediately gave chase. Finally, with the -assistance of another policeman, the thieves were captured. They were both Galveston men, so Detective Bobouln reported this afternoon, and were tinners by ocenpa-; tlon.

When they were sesrehed at the police'' station eighteen diamonds were taken from them, erery one of them being far above tbe arerage la weight and beauty. They were probably worth, all told, S4000. The men also had some water-soaked bills In their pockets. I made a round of the relief stations tonight, after the arrival of the last train of refugees from Galveston. I did not visit them all, but those I saw were well filled with men and women who had turned their faces from the devastated ctty to seek other and, perhaps, safer homes.

The cots with which the stations are supplied are clean and comfor table, and the food turnisned tne reiugees on their arrival le abundant and whole some. The change to comparative luxury from the hardships Jhey have been enduring for the past week must be very grateful to them. Last night, so I am informed, an entire family, father, mother and two half-grown children, not one of whom knew of the safety of any one of the others, met by chance in one of these stations. Tbe meeting must have been happy in the extreme. D.

M. WATSON. PROGRESS BEING HADE. The City Is Cleaned and Hospitals Are Started. Special to tbe Picayune.

Galveston, Sept. 17. The ninth day after the storm, and still the gruesome work of recovering the dead from the gigantic mass of debris that lines the south side of what remain of the city continues. Yesterday 107 bodies were recovered and cremated. Among them waa a mother with a suckling babe tightly clasped to her breast.

As the body of the mother was moved the body of the babe rolled off. with the nipple between Its swollen, tiny lips. In this Imperative necessity of the dispatch of the dead tragic scenes are witnessed that move the stoutest hearts. The body of Major W. T.

Levy, United States Immigrant inspector of this district, was "VTg the number found. He made a gallant struggle to save his wife and three children. All were lost. The bodies of the wife and children have not been recovered. They are still among the un-mterred dead, and when found will be disposed as the father and husband.

The number recovered and cremated today has not been reported yet, bst it will exceed 100 or more. The task of recovering the bodies that are beneath or jjfnTnot tnxo this Immense rick of debris, extending from the eastern to the western llmiU of the city, a distance of over three miles, is a herculean one, and the most expeditious way of removing, from a sanitary point of view, Is by fire. This, however. In the crippled condition of tbe fire department and water works, would endanger the remaining portion of tbe city. As It now stands this immense mass of debris, strewn with dead bodies and the carcasses of decaying animals, Is a SEBIOU3 MENACE TO HEALTH, and the most difficult problem the board of health has to deal with.

The work of opening up the streets and disinfecting them Is being vigorously prosecuted. The debris and garbage is being removed in 250 vehicles of every description, carried out to a safe place and burned, and in a few days all streets will be opened for the passage of vehicles. To-day It was decided at a meeting of the central executive committee that all the laborers now employed in burying the dead, clenstng the buildings and now moving the debris from the streets and sidewalks shall receive SI 60 per day and rations. Heretofore they have been working for nothing, and if they refused were Impressed by the military. The work of relief for the sick and Injured Is well in hand, and, under the direction of skilled physicians and nurses.

Is improving daily. Eleven hundred tents were received to-day by the board ot health. Ail except 800, retained for hospital purposes, will be distributed by the chairmen of the various ward subcommittees to shelter the shelterless In their respective wards. Tbe marine hospital service, which Is working in conjunction with the board of health, have established a hospital the beach at the foot of Tremont street, where the sic and wounded now sheltered in unsanitary places throughout the city will be taken, nolena volens, for treatment. This hospital will be under the direction (of Drs.

Peckham and Wertenbacker, of the marine hospital service, and who will be assisted by a corps of trained nurses. The hospital consist of 300 comfortable tents and be thoroughly equipped la every respect for treatment and comforts of the patients. The Philadelphia Inquirer telegraphed the board of health that they would Immediately ship and operate, at their own expense, until all JjJ snnasaw sV jjOn THE POWER-HOUSE. A Picture Wliicn Olvea an Idea ot the Storm's (From photographs taken at Galveston especially for the danger has passed, an electrosone capable of producing 80,000 gallons of disinfectant per day. The offer was accepted with thanks.

THH BBVBNT7B CUTTEB WINONA from Mobile arrived co-day, and Captain Parry placed the cutter at the disposal of the board of health for the removal of the sick and wounded able to leave the city for Interior points. The offer was accepted, and the Winona will ply between here and Texas City, where rail connection is had. until the present emergency has passed and railway accommodations are fully restored. Sickness of a malarial type Is becoming quite prevalent among the sufferers, and considerable apprehension Is felt that It may assume a more serious form. Every effort will be made by the board of heaVtA to check the spread of disease.

Miss Clara Barton is giving her time and attention to assisting In the work of relief, and ascertaining what supplies axe necessary to meet. Che exigencies of the situation. The board of health requested that ft be stated that more trained nurses are needed. One of the members made serious charges against fereral nurses who have come to assist lix relief work, and they were asked to return home. The affiliated labor organisations of this city lost over 500 of Its members and members' families, and the total destruction of the property snd belongings of almost every member, surf have Issued an address appealing to every labor organisation throughout the country for assistance.

They have appointed Messrs. T. W. Dee and James P. Grimes ss soliciting agents to visit all large cities in the behalf of aid for their stricken members.

Dee and Grimes have also re-xeceived- credentlsls from Mayor Jones and the central committee, and left tonight on their mission. William D. Bradneld. pastor of St. John's church, has received a telegram from aa orphan asylum at Waco, offering to take and care for a number of orphans.

Belief supplies are arriving more regularly, and are being distributed to the destitute aa rapidly as possible. Each day marks an Improvement over the other, and the situation becomes less acute. The telegraph companies are dally getting Into better shape, and are now able to give quick dispatch" to all business offered them. The offices are still crowded with people, receiving and sending messages. With the mall service regularly established snd the railways repaired and trains In operation, Galveston would again feel she was a part of the great world.

MORE TROOPS SENT. They Will Relieve Those Worn Oat by Service. Dallas, Sept. 17. More troops were called for this morning to relieve the worn-out guards at Galveston.

A part of the Tresevant Rifles leave this city at 9 a. m. Two more relief trams, with supplies, sje being forwarded from here for the coast country. The local relief committees are In session at the city hall providing means for taking care of the refugees that are pouring Into Dallas. Something approaching direct regular wire connection was opened with Galveston this morning by both companies.

Beports Indicate no material change in the situation this morn log. They are exerting every effort to get a temporary bridge across the bay from near Virginia Point. The more optimistic assert that trains will be crossing by Thursday of this week, but it Is hardly probable that trains carrying anything more than construction material will venture across earlier than next week. Tbe churches of Dallas yesterday took cash collections for storm sufferers. More than $2000 was raised.

The money was telegraphed to -Galveston to-day. J. P. Peake. of 343 Wood street, Dallas, lost three sisters, one nephew and three nieces, so far as learned.

In the Galveston hurricane. He had other relatives there whom he has not heard from. He believes that all of them have been drowned. A pelican, driven to the Interior by the gulf storm, was killed six miles from Dallas more than 800 miles from Galveston. A telegram received at local headquarters of the Houston and Texas Ball-road offices to-day from General Manager Quinlaa at Houston says: "Chicago relief train for Galveston flood sufferers left Fort Worth 12:20 Saturday, arrfved at Houston 10:40 same date; tlmef DEBRIS AT TEXAS ClTY Whien the Storm Carried Across the Ray front Galveston (Frsm aotographs taken at Gslrtston especially for cat Picayune Attack.

Galveston Is beginning to look like Itself sgaln. Horse cars are in operation In the business part of the city and the electric line and water service have beon partially resumed. The progress being msde under the circumstances is little short of remarkable. It must not be by any means understood that the remaining portion of the city has been put la anything like Its normal condition, but jm very great a change has bsen wrought, so much order and system now prevails, where formerly chaos reigned, that Galveston and the people who have been giving her such noble assistance have good reason te be satisfied with what has been accomplished in the face of such fearful storm, and according to the statement made by Major Scurry. Mayor Jones, Alderman Perry and others there is equally good reason to believe that the progress of the work during the next week or so will be even more satisfactory.

This morning tbe board of health began a systematic effort to obtain the names of the dead, so that Information can be used for legal purposes and for life Insurance settlements. Charles E. Doherty Is stationed at the headquarters of the central relief committee to receive and file sworn etatmenta In Ilea of coroner's certifies tes. Persons who have left the city but are In possession of Information concerning the dead are requested to send sworn statements to Mr. Doherty.

General Manager Polk, of the Santa Fe Ballroad. ststed to-day that the bridge across the bay would be repaired sufficiently to permit of the pssssge et trains by Wednesday or Thursday at the very latest. W1XX.IA1PS 8TMPATBT. The Magsitmae of tne TMsaaten Equaled by Iadoml table Salrlt. Washington.

In their long struggle with the adverse forces of nature, have proved themselves to be victorious. "I sincerely hope that Galveston wil rise again to new prosperity. "WILLIAM IL" The president's reply is ss follows: Your majesty's message ef condolence any sympathy Is very grateful to the American government and people, and la their name, as well as oa behalf of the many thousands who have suffered bereavement! and Irreparable loss In the Galveston disaster.

THE CHICAGO RKLIKB TRAIN. It Waa Rushed to Clinton aad Unloaded Rapidly. Special to ths Pleaynsa. Houston, Sept. 17.

The Chicago relief train is now being unloaded oa barges of the direct navigation company at Clinton, the Southern Pacific' shipping point on the bayou. Owing to the fact that the train was not an advertising dodge, and, therefore, no blowing of herns, and that the railroads do not run trains by names, but as extra trains or sections of regulars, every newspaper man In Houston lost It. The train dispatchers of the different roads were besieged, but were unable to give any Information. The Bock Island turned the sixteen loaded cars over to the Houston snd Texas Central at Fort Worth, aad orders were Issued to put the train oa passenger time and give It right of way over everything, which was done, the run of 275 miles from Fort Worth' to Houston being mad at an. average speed of thirty-seven miles an hour.

v. Oa arrival at Houston the dispatchers carried out their orders to the letter, and the train was turned over to the Southern Pacific with rush orders, aad rush It was. Before daylight the trala had been sent to Clinton, barges hurried there, to meet It and the work of unloading began without daisy. Thar war not sufficient barges at once available to hold the great amount of relief stores which had been but Sunday after-noon tie first cargo; was started for Galveston and arrived there at an early this morning. The unload lag was accomplished quickly, and the barges started Immediately on the return trip to CUntoa for another load.

First reports of the train at Houston said that it would leave Fort Worth over the Banta Fe, which road would deliver it to the Southern Pacific at Rosenborg, from whence It would bo rushed straight through to Clinton. For some reason the original plan was changed, and the Bock Island people turned the train over to the Houston and Texas Central at Fort Worth. Thla. caused the newspaper men to lose track of It. To add to this, the wires on the Santa Fe, between Bosenberg and went down making It Impossible to learn from that road, of the change or of the fact that they did not have the train, and It was not until this afternoon, when your representative visited the office of Vice President and General Manager Qulnlan, of the Houston and Texas Central, that the actual movements of the trala were ascertained.

NO SICKNESS YET. Dr. Blunt Bays No Such Results' Have Occurred nt Galveston. Special t. the Pleaynn.

Austin, Sept. IT. State Health Officer Blunt returned from Galveston this morning. He says: "The people of the Interior of the state and elsewhere need not be afraid that Galveston Is liable to become a disease center. With a well-directed and energetic effort already Instituted by the authorities already In charge of the matter, Galveston bids fair to be soon brought to a good sanitary condition.

Certainly no sickness prevails there now. except that resulting from the Injuries physically and mentally received while battling with the storm." Representative Mssterson, of Brasoria county, visited the governor this morning as a member of the citizens' relief committee of his county. He asked for $14,000 to aid the poorer class of his county, who are unable to provide shelter for themselves and families. The request was granted, and the money will be equally distributed between the people who are suffering the most. He reports many women and children living out on the pratrle, with absolutely no shelter whatever, and that they are victims of the weather, no matter what It chances to be.

He says people In his county sre in need, snd their suffering is proportionately as great as It Is in Galveston. The amount given by the governor will be appreciated by the people of Brasoria county. The board of university regents were In session here to-day. They have about decided to postpone the opening of the medical department at Galveston until the 1st of November. Chleasro Contributes fJO 7,000.

Chicago. Sept. 17. Contributions for the Texas sufferers received by the local relief committee to-day swelled the total amount so far received to S97.000. SYSTEMATIZING RELIEF.

The Governor Assumes Chars; of All Outside of Harris County. Special to tbe Picayune. Houston. 8ept. 17.

The matter of furnishing relief for the suffering victims of the storm has undergone a change since Saturday, and by the change the responsibility, which was assumed by the general relief committee of Houston st the outset, hss been materially curtailed. Heretofore this committee has been endeavoring to administer to the wants and necessities of the entire storm-swept district. Including Galveston, Harris and the other counties that were visited by the disaster, but the governor yesterday wired the committee Instructing it to refer alii applications for assistance that came from points outside of Harris county to him. The governor also detailed General A. P.

Wosencraft, of Dallas, to represent him here, snd that gentleman arrived In the city yesterday. He spent the day In reviewing and Investigating the work of the committee, and expressed himself lsst sight as being well pleased with what ths committee had done. Through his courtesy the committee Is privileged to continue work In Its curtailed capacity; that Is, taking care of the sufferers of Harris county proper snd all refugees who arrive in Houston from Galveston. The governor has given the Houston committee $10,000 to be expended for th's purpose. Governor Bayers has three representatives In the field now, and the entire matter of furnishing relief for the sufferers Is In his hands, through, these representatives.

Adjutant General Thomas Scurry hss charge of the city of Galveston. General Wosencraft Is In authority at Houston for Harris county sufferers and outside refugees, and Captain Zelekart is looking after all the places not covered by the authority of Generals Scurry and Wozencraft. Post's List Numbers 4078 Dead. Houston, Sept. 17.

The latest list of the dead In the Galveston disaster, printed by the Post, revised to dsu, accounts for 4078 persons. Tbe Post states that Its source of Information is very good, snd that none of the persons whose names are printed in the list have been heard from, and that a great number of names have been furnished by relatives ot those dead. The number of people who have left Galveston, it Is now stated at relief headquarters to De-over 8000; of these about 5000 are now in Houston, being cared for. Others have gone on Into the Interior of the state or to other states. The number coming upon the first train to-day shows no falling off.

New arrangements made at Galveston enable people to get out witn-out so much red tape, snd they are taking advantage of the opportunity to oo so. Governor Bayers has now taken charge of the relief work here as well as at other points, snd money Is being given eat where needed, more than provisions and clothing. Late mail matter from Galveston states that the town now has fairly good water service, win nave electric lights In part of the business portion to-night, and tnat a few street cars are running. The total number of people fed In tbe ten wards Sunday was 16,14 persons, estimating four persons to each one appplylng. Supplies are now flowing in steadily, and all orders for provisions snd clothing are being given on general stores in tbe city.

No very accurate statement of tne amount of supplies can be obtained, as they are being put In the general stock as soon as received. A number of prominent Galvestonlans np here to-day speak of the situation very hopefully, and are making arrangements to Tesume business at the earliest possible moment. Contracts are being let for new buildings, and orders sent in for aew goods, Telephone communication was established with Galveston this morning, and the Western Union wires are working fairly welU Restrictions aa-to delay tn delivery of messages have been removed.
