REGARDLESS PEOPLE'S STORE ALLIES DESTROY FORTS Mayor Jones Proclalma That Military Authority Will Be Suspended. Career of the Man Killed at Isinl- This Is the Report From the loan. Capture of Pei-tai and Lutai Galveston, Sept. 21.—Mayor Jones hus proclaimed that martial law would cease at noon today and the civil authorities would assume direction of municipal affairs. This was done at the suggestion of General 8curry, who expressed the belief that conditions had reached such a stage that the civil authorities were able to cope with the situation. This, however, does not mean the immediate withdrawal of the militia. They are to cooperate with the city officials in the enforcement of order and will continue on duty as a part of the government. Since martial law has prevailed in Galveston good order has resulted.  It was feared in some quarters that when it became known that the militia had given way to civil law the looting and robbery which began after the storm and continued until the declaration of martial law might recommence. The military forces will be used as a check ojx this character of crime, however, and will in all probability remain here for the next 20 days. Coal Regions. Washington, Sept. 21.—Captain David D. Mitchell, Fifteenth infantry, who was killed in an engagement with the Filipinos at Mavitac, near Siniloan, Laguna was born in Missouri in April, 1848, and was appointed second lieutenant of the Fifteenth infantry from that stats on Feb. 29, 1670.

Nevertheless Father Phillips came here frfcm the Haxleton region last night and is with Archbishop Ryan in consultation on the subject very near and dear to his heart, the quick settlement of the strike by arbitration or any other honorable means.

Peking dispatches this morning tend to counrin the suspicion regarding the attitude of Russia already expressed by Dr. Morrison, the correspondent of The Times at the Chinese capital. The Daily News prints u telegram almost identical with the advices to The Daily Expj-ens from Peking, but adding that, in the opinion of the correspondent, the Russia us only desire to induce the other powers to withdraw. the Morning Post's Peking representative, wiring Sept. 13, expresses the same Opinion. He declares that M. de Giers will not go unless the other ministers go also. The Russian legation, he asserts, had prepared to go, but reversed its intention pending further instructions. This delay he thinks due in all probability to the nondeparture of the other legations. PEOPLE'S STORE Somewhat vague reports are coming In of preparation on the part of the sheriffs and coal companies for a possible clash with the reckless element among the strikers.
