business Barely Moves Among
tbe ltuius- Awful Problem of
the Uuburied Dead.
GalrcBtou.'Septeujber II
The city' is beginning slowly to
recover from the stunning blow of
"hist week and though the city ap
pears tonight to be pitilessly deso
lated, the authorises and the com
mercial and industrial interests aie
setting their forces to work, and a
start has at least bceu made toward
the resumption of business in a
moderate way.
The presence of the troops has
had a beneficial effect on the crimin
al classes and the fear of a brief but
desperate reign of anarchy now no
longer exists. The saloons have at
least temporary gone out of business
and every able bodied mao who has
not his own abode to look alter is
being pressed into service so that,
first of all, tlio water service may
be resumed, the guUers flushed and
streets lighted.
The further the ruins are dug into
the greater becomes the increase in
numbers of those who perished as
their oomes tumbled about their
heads. - On Ihe lower beach jester-j
day, a searching party found a score
of corpses within a small area.gaing
to show that the bulwark of debris
that lies straight across the island
conceals many more bodies than
have been accounted for.
The appearance of the newf
papers today after a suspension
of several days is having a good
effect and bot'i the news and the
Tribune tfre urging prompt saccjr
log of the suffering equal prompt
ness in reconstructions. It is dif
ficult to sy yet what the ultimate
effect of the disaster will be on
the city. Many people have left
and some may never return. The
experience of others ftill here
will remain if they cau convenient
ly find occupation in other cities
The bulk of the population how
ever is only temporarily panic
stricken and there are hosts of
those who helped to make Gal
veston prosperous who look npen 1
the catastropha as involving only
ft temporary halt in the advance
ment of the city.

Mayor Jones of Galveston main
taining his opinion that the nuni

Galveston reach as high as twenty

Galveston can or will bo rebuilt.
There seems to be a ulsposition
on the part ot the leading citizens
hpwever to start resolutely where
the storm left off and raise a new
city from the rnins of the old.
Troops are patroling the streets
and looting Las bceni given a
