The disaster which has lefallen the city of Galveston wa* naturally the *uhject of deep regret yesterday and very general in terest was manifested in obtaining further and mor** definite news The natural ten dency was to believe that the loss of life had been greatly exaggerated and perhaps the loss of property as well, though It was generally admitted that the condition of affairs must Indeed be serious. There was naturally an element of thankfulness that the storm had chosen to expend Its force Upon the cities of the Gulf rather than to visit It* wr.*h ut>on Savannah, though there waa no disposition to rejoice in the misfortune of G.k*?*ton. Should th*- people of Galveston be In md of assistance, as more than likely they will. It 1* safe to assert that none will respond more read!ly to their call than the p**opie of Savannah. Mayor Myers said yesterday that no action would be taken by Council until more definite in formation .h*u and b* received, but It Is not unlikely that resolutions of sympathy and condolence will be adopt*d at the next meeting of that body.

When seen by a Morning News reporter Mr. He.ter talked plearnntly of matter.* relating tn hi* work, but declined laugh ingly lo m.ike any estimate a* to the com ing crop, though he Intimated that all the Indications toln’ed to n crop considerably h low the ateiage of recent year*. "I do not make estimates,” said Mr. Master. "'I deal In fact* and al ow other men to make calculation* upon the llg ure* which I give them.

In order that my figures might be given to the public a* usual on Sep tember J. You have already published im report Naturally I fed tliat after completing this task I am entitled to eome recreation and I am simply taking a turn through some of the other southern cotton idle* before returning to my desk ' Mr. Hester has been compiling theee crop retorts for the last thirty years, be ginning this work ns secretary of the National Cotton Exchange, which had It* headquarters In New or.ean*. and con tinuing It In his present capacity ns sec retary and superintendent of the New Orleans Exchange, which position he has filled for a number of years. Naturally he Is well parsed In everything that per tain* to the youth's great crop, though ills reports deal chiefly wlfh the weekly crop movement. ' The Southern farmer In on top for the first time In a numtrT of years." said Mr Hest.r. and the Indication* are that he will stay there for awhile. He receiv er! a good price for last year's crop and that there I* every reason to believe that he will receive a better price for this crop The good price which he re ceived for Inst year's crop, the economy which he ho* been forced to exercise for ■he last several year*, the raising of sup plies a> home which he had been buying from other section*, have ail helped to make him Independent One of the great est helps to the farmer during the list srnimn was th* good price he received for his cotton setxl. Heed brought from 110 to 122 a ton nnd The value of the crop tn cash lo the Southern farmers, after deducting 10 |er cent, for seed for the next crop, was-to. less than pi'.oon.nno. That's n htg item. Another cheerful feature *ln this connection t* the number of small eotton oil mills which have sprung upall through the della an<l Texas and doubtless In this section as well. These mills are often lo cated five miles from a railroad, 112,000 to |ir.,nno phints most of them, and operated hy the men who furnish the money. They buy their seed from Its farmers of the sur rounding country and sell them In return cotton seed meal and other producl*. thil* saving freight both ways. Conducted In this manntr the small mill* are practically trust proof and are keeping a great deal of money In the South that would other wise go to other sections.” As to the conditions of the present crop Mr Hester said that there Is a great leal of romplalnt from the delta and from Texas and he had been advised that the condition of the erop In the section was not the best hy a good deal. The Heptember weather report furnished a fair statement of the condition-, he thought. “It Is too early to form an opinion as to what effect the storm damage In Texas wIH have upon the crop.” he said, "We shall have to watt for more definite Infor mation. I sincerely trust that Galveston Is not so severely hurt a* to-day's report* would Indicate. Notwithstanding our ri valry a* cot ion ports. New Orleans and Galveston enjoy the most friendly rela tions. True, should Galveston be so badly hurt an to he unable tn handle her usual proportion of the eotton crop. New Or leans will cheerfully relieve her of the burden, and no doubt Savannah will lend a hand also.” Mr Heater took the Central train for Atlanta last night, from whence he will go to Birmingham and other cltlea.

Bhe wa* billed to sing at the regular performance of the New Alhambra, and wa* prevented from appearing on the stage by an In junction secured from Judge Robert Eol lig.tnt by E. A. Massart. proprietor of the Royal. The singer, according to Massart'* story, came to Savannah from Tampa last Friday on a ticket which he fumlsh edTier, and with the distinct understand ing that she wa* to appear at the Royal for a two-weeks' engagement at 120 a week. She was to have commenced her en gagement last night, and programmes an nouncing the fact had been printed one oi her specialties ! the singing of "The Blue and the Gray." with vl< w* depicting the scene# that are mentioned In the s >ng. The slttles for this song r. quite elaborate, and had been prepared by Mr. Massart at a consltlrrable outlay. Y’ts'.erday afternotw, without any pre vious notice. Miss Stewart decided not to sing at the Royal, and going to Mr. Ulldea of the N w Alhambra, etcurtd an engage, ment with him and arranged to go on last night. This contract completed, she sent to the Royal for her trunk, but the manager of that house refustd to allow her to have It. Miss Stewart then took legal measures anti swpre out a posses sory warrant for her property In the Court of Magistrate C. D Kline The warrant was served, hut still Mr. Massart refused to deliver the trunk, n he was arrested and taken to the oflW of the magistrate. The rase mas deeded In favor of the plaint IT. and Mr Mas<att glten the option of dtllverlng the trunk, going to Jail or giving a bond for his future appearance. Ilf- gave bond for **, and through his counsel. Messrs. Walter C. Hartrldge and Gordon Baussy, served a notice that the case would h.- taken Into the Huperlor Court on a of ctrllorart. The singer evidently thought the case settled for the lime hetng hut Mr.' Mnssart was determined that If she would not sing for him she shouldn't sing for unybody else, that te if he could help it. so the In junction was secured anti served on her by Deputy HhetifT Ed O'Connor just be fore she went on the stage. The hearing of the injunction ease will be held before Judge K.illlgant to-iorrow.
