The Dead Must BE Sacrificed to Save the
Living-Work at the Bridge.
JoHNsTowN, Pa, June S.--Arthur Kirk is
gradually proving that he knew what he was
talking about when he said that dynamite
was the only proper material to use in remov-
ing the debris above the railroad bridge
Hitherto he has been very much cramped in
his work by scarcity of explosives, but yes
terday morning big supply of cartridges
arrived, and the engineer was comparatively
happy. A clear space has been made about
two of the piers. The great mass of wreck
age is gradually becoming loosened There
is such a vast quantity of it, however, that
weeks will be required to remove all This
debris is one of the chief points of interest
now, as it is undoubtedly the most dangerous
pestilence breeding place in the whole flooded
district
Must Sacrifice the Bodies.
All efforts to remove the remaining bodies
buried beneath it have been abandoned The
pile has been gone over carefully several
times and all the corpses that could be
reached have been taken out There are still
several hundred in the wreck, but they are
too deeply imbedded in the mass to be re-
covered, and there is no alternative but to
destroy them. Everybody acknowledges
this now and there will be no more hndrances
to the work. The stencil arising from the
debris is becoming almost unbearable in the
vicinity of the bridge and workmen are
finding serious difficulty in remaining at
their post for more than few hours at a
time

The State Interferes.

The local corn exchange had come to real
ize that Vienna had lost its prestige as an in
ternational market and were considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of abandoning the attempt to
hold the usual market next month, when the
minister of commerce interfered and wrote
to the president of the exchange ordering
that the international market be held as
usual The order will be obeyed, but no one
expects that the market will amount to any
thing The Jewish merchants are deter
mined to stay away and as a very large
share of the corn business of Europe is in
their hands this alone would doom the event
to failure. But the absence of this element
will undoubtedly result in other corn mer-
chants keeping away, and the result must be
dismal failure in which the minister of
commerce is sure to cut a sorry figure

The Lord Mayor of London gave ban
quet the other evening in honor of Mr..

were $50 guests, including Lord Rosbery,
Lord Halsbury, Lord Coleridge, Mr.. Child

airy celebrities. The Lord Mayor, in pro-
posing "A toast TO Mr.. Phelps, expressed
his sincere satisfaction at being able to
affirm that the presence of Mr.. Phelps in
England had been appreciated by the whole
nation.
Mr.. Phelps, who was enthusiastically
greeted, said that during his four years
stay in England he had felt how kindly
were the sentiments that Englishmen en-
tertained toward his countrymen. His re-
lations with successive English govern.
ments had always been fortunate and cor
dial. The existence of good feeling between
the peoples Of Great Britain and Ameri-
ca gave assurance Of continued harmony.
The time was long past when kings could
involve nations in hostilities TO crafty their
own reckless ambition and caprice There
could be no war between civilized nations
now unless backed by their peoples. Before
nations quarrel their peoples must become
hostile. Observation-Disclosures might arise
between England and America, although
both governments were anxious TO avoid
differences, but such MISUNDERSTANDING
would all prove capable of friendly solu-
ton. He did not know who his successor
would be- but he did know il would be an
American gentleman fit 10 stand as the me-
dunn of communication between the two
countries. He felt certain that Englishmen
would give his successor a friendly recep-
