Cb;caoo and the monitor Puritan will
naturally be suspended and the here
t6fore busy yard will present deserted
look. None but the hndest and most
sympathetic expressions are heard Tor
Roach and hopes that he will come
tbrough all right. The city depends
largely on the shipyard and other enter
prises in which Roach is interested. The
outlook for the coming winter is very
gloomy and nothing but idleness and
poverty stare many in the face.
BosToN, July 19.-The Herdtd's New
mort special gives the following: AS
Secretary Whitney's reply to question
as to the probable effect of the Roach
failure upon government: 81 do not
think it will have any effect upon gov
eminent. I am very sorry for Mr..
Roach, lam always sorry when man
falls into such difficulties. but LIDO not
see that the failure can have any con-
siderable effect upon government. The
government has one vessel in his ship
yard and two at New York building,
but the amounts are nearly all paid on
them. l saw in a morning paper that
Mr.. Roach thinks am responsible for
dis trouble, or at least that | could give
relief, but government owes only the
amount still due on the Dolphin, which
would not be enough to put him on a
sure footing again. The affair is unfOr-
tunate, but | cannot help him. Yes,
the failure was a matter of surprise IN
government as well as in business cir
eles, but cannot see that it will have
any great effect on government
New YORK, July 2H.-Yorkmen en-
ployed at John Roach shop in this city
were to-day paid Oft in full the wages
due them. Unhl the present financial
troubles of Roach are settled only
sufficient force to complete existing con-
tracts will be retained.
CHESTER, Penn, July -WorKmen
ht Roach's shipyard gathered about the
gates to go to work as usual, this morn
ing, but only 1872 we're given employ
ment. About 800, some from nearly
every department, had to go home.
Most of those retained were sent to the
steamer CorDnI It's the intention OF
The finn to finish the COrilal by August
10, as she Is expected to go to New
YORK at that time Then the yard will
close down. The government cruisers
look deserted, not sound of hammer
being heard about them. Roach SAYS
me work will not be resumed on them,
unless ordered by the government.
IL Is stated that the men
%1o went to work this morqing
lld so with the understanding thatsthey
would submit to a reduction of wages.
Al who we're laid off were paid In full
ms evening. The streets all dav have
