Sept. 13. Decided improvement in this city's condition was evident late to-night. Electric light wires had been strung for several days as rapidly as the linemen could work, and tonight the current was turned on. The lights were small Incandescent globes and they were high up on poles, but they were numerous and relieved the darkness that has hovered over the city for the past week.

The streets heretofore have not permitted street cars and bicycles. In different parts of the city much progress was made in clearing up debris. The best work in this direction was done along the shore line of the gulf on the south side of the city. During the day bodies were found at frequent intervals, and Just at sunset seven were found In the ruins of one house. It Is expected that more will be found to-morrow.

The residents of Galveston are plucky In the extreme In their determination to rebuild and make Galveston a greater and better city than It has ever been before, but in one direction at least they have suffered a loss that Is beyond repair, and that lies In the extent of the territory wrested from them by the storm. The waters of the gulf now cover about 5.300.-0WJ square feet of- ground that was formerly a part of Galveston. This loss has been suffered entirely on the south side of the city where the finest residences 'were built, facing the gulf, and where land was held at a higher valuation than In any other part of the city, with the exception of the business district- For three miles along the shore of the gulf this choice resHence property extended, but the shore line was so changed by the storm that at low tide the water la feet higher along the entire three miles. In the eastern part of the city there are places where 850 feet is less than the actual amount of ground" taken from the city. LOVELY GIRL THE CAUSE.

It was 8:30 o'clock when the speaker of the evening entered. the Coliseum and received such an ovation as is rarely given other than the conquering hero in some big fight. The building was packed with people. The Coliseum has a seating capacity of 7.000. Chairs to the number of 3.000 had been placed in the arena and these were filled, while the aisles and steps of the building were thronged wtth people.

Fully 13.000 persons were Jammed in the place. While the meeting was held under the auspices of the commercial travelers the State committee had taken advantage of the occasion to make it a grand rally. There were commercial travelers in plenty throughout the building, and there also "travelers'' from the farms of Central Missouri, from the mines of Southeast and Southwest Missouri and the ranges in the northern part of the State. The meeting was a grand success, and every point scored by the speaker received the wildest applauae. Webster Davis held the attention of the audience while it was waiting for the speaker of the evening.

He did not return at noon and Nellie was sent into the mine to ask him, to come home for dinner. She had gone but a short distance, when she was overcome, by black' damp. Fearing that something had happened, when neither returned. Mrs. Flick started in search of her two children.

When she tailed to return the alarm was given. Miners flocked to "the mine from all around and volunteers were easily found to search for the lost John Wilson, who belonged to the rescuing party, was overcome by the deadly black damp. The bodies of the three member of the Flick family were found only a short distance apart. This is the first accident of the kind In the pretty little village of Rimer ton. in the Allegheny valley.

Wo French resentment is manifested against the idea of the kaiser's working in harmony with the cxar. and the Only disturbing element Is the underlying feeling that France is really cutting no" figure in the events. This impression will probably grow unless Russia soon placates French vanity, but the shrewd managers at St. Petersburg are quite competent to deal with this difficulty if the allies, including Germany, are thoroughly content to leave everything to the csar. All Germans consider that they have a special claim, and in the situation as It stands they have little to lose and much to gain by any future developments.

There is little or no public opposition to the idea of German co-operation with Russia.

The torpedo boat destroyer Viper's marvelous record of 43 miles an hour has already been eclipsed, and the fastest vessel in the world is now her sister ship, the Cobra. The latter was built by the Armstrongs and is an exact dupli-cate of the Viper, which was built by Hawthorne. Leslie Co. at their works at Newcastle. The contract speed of each was 31 knots.

-The Viper did 37.113 knots on July 13. The Cobra In an unofficial trial over the same course at the mouth of the Tyne made 87.7 knots, or 43.5 miles, while her engineers say that she has not yet done her best and that they expect fully another knot.

Mr, Brysn's speech was as follows: The lament of David over Absalom is one ef the moat pathetic passages of the Old Testament. The fact that the son was in rebellion against civil aa welt as parental authority did not shake the father's affection, and the anxious query.

"Is the young man, AbeaJora, aafeT" lingers in the memory of all who study the life of the great Hebrem- kins. the interwt which David felt In hla on. Absalom, has its paraile! in the more than 10.0UMM9 families which make up the American j.cfle. language Cnn deserib a mother's love, or overstste-the abiding InWrest which the father fel In the welfare of his child. From the time when the mother's life hanra In the balance al the boy's birth until the dath of the parnta there la ararrely a waking hour when the son la not present in their thoughts and plan.

It Is to hla parental devotion, so universally that I desire to appeal on this occasion. I would call the attention of every father and mother to present political and Industrial conditions. 1 would ark thm to analrse these conditions, investigate their causes and their tendncle. I would press upon them this question: "is the youn man, Absalom, safe?" Are you satisfied with the possibilities and the probabilities which now open before your son is he safe when foreign or domestic financiers are allowed to determine the monetary system under which he lives? Is he safe when National banks control the volume of money with which he does business Is he safe when the bond holding class determines" the slse of the National debt upon which he must help to pay Interest? Is he safe when by rm-ana of taxes laid almost entirely upon consumption he is compelled to contribute according to hla wants rather than according to hla pos-aeaslons? Is he safe when corporate Interests Influence as they do to-day the selection of those who are to represent him in the Senate of the I'nlted Statea? If he is a wage-earner, and you do not know how soon he may be, even if he Is not now. la he safe when he Is liable to be deprived of trial by Jury, through the system known as government by Injunction? Ilia Safety Questionable.

Is he safe. If a laboring man. when he is denied the protection of arbitration and compelled to submit to such hours and terms as a corporate employer may propose But. I desire to call special attention to the growth of the trusts, and to ask you whether your son is safe under the relsn of private monopoly? If you cannot leave him a fortune, you can leave him some-, thing more valuable than money, vis: the freedom to employ his own brala and his own hands for the advancement of his own welfare. When there is Industrial Independence, each cttiaen la stimulated to earnest endeavor by the hope of being able to profit by his own genius, his own energy, his own Industry and his own virtue.

But when private monopoly reaches its full development each branch of Industry will be controlled by one. or a few men, and the fruits of monopoly, like the divine right of rule, will be kept within the of a few from generation to generation, while the real producers of wealth will be condemned to perpetual clerkship or servitude. When private monopoly reaches Its fufll development, your son will buy the finished product at the price which monopoly fixes; he will sell raw material at the price which monopoly flxe; and. If he works for wages, he will work for such compensation and upon such conditions as monopoly may determine. Frank Story of a Trust.

Charles K. Flint of the Kubber Goods Manufacturing Company In a speech delivered in Boston on the 2Tith of May. outlined the trust program with great frankness -In speaking of tne advantages to be derived irom the trust system he said: "Kaw material bought In large quantities' Is secured, at lower prices." When, for instance, one man buys all the wool, the price of wool will be lowered and all who produce wool will sell at th price fixed by the A large proportion of our people are engaged In the production of various kinds of raw material, and they are thus placed at the mercy of the combinations. The second advantage la that "thoso plants which are best equipped and most advantageously situated are run continuously and in preference to 'those less favored." This means that factories can be closed In the smaller towns and business concentrated in the large centers. It means, also, that whenever there is a surplus on hand, part of the factories can bo closed, and the burden of maintaining prices thrown upon the wage workers.

There in case or local strikes and Ores, the work goea on elsewhere, thus preventing serious loss." This means that a monopoly can absolutely control Ha workingmen, for If a strike occurs la factory in one 8t ate, the factory can be closed down Indefinitely while the employes are starved Into submission, ane. as the trust Jfaft dv the work In some other factory without Deri-' ous loss. It Is quit. Independent of the employer, and can absolutely prescribe the term and conditions upon which they shall live. The mors complete the monopoly the more opposed the managers of any contest betaSen the trust and its employes, ho trust will have every ad-Vantage and the employes will be perfectly powerless.

Another advantage cited by Mr. Flint la that "there Is no multiplication of the means of distribution and a better force of salesmen will take the place of a large number." This in an Intimation that under the trust system the traveling salesman will not be needed. When every retail merchantmust buy ail gooda of one class from a single company, the work can ba done by samples, ami no traveling men will be needed. There will be no competition between different factories because all are under one management. The first man to feel this will be the salesman, who will lose his occupation.

The next man to feel it will be the hotel man, who will mlsa the trade of the traveling The railroad will lose the mileage paid by the traveling man; the liverymen will lose their best patrons, and the newspapers will lose tne advertising, because It will cot be necessary to auvertise when there is no competition. All this might be tolerable If the saving thus made went tq tls consumer, but as a matter of fact It goes to the monopoly. My attention has been called to a prospectus issued by the International 1st earn l'urap Company, organized March, lvtt. under the laws of Jersey, and capitalised at fcfT.juu.iXio. of which nearly half is preferred stock, and tne remainder common stock.
