scene. Ninevab.

JonSsrowS, Pa, June G-Ninevah saw
some woeiul sights today. During the pc
riod Of daylight 740 bodies we're consigned
TO the earth from the morguca about the
town. Father Dorm conducted religious
services at tho St. Columbia Catholic
Church in Cambria City. This army Of
dead was placed In trenches. Less than
100 were recognized by friends. None OF
them were claimed for private burial, how.
ever, rs In a majority Of instances the sur
yivon were too poor 10 stand the expense.
These bodies were gathered from up and
down tho river below Johnstown, aud the
Commissioners Of Weshnorcland County
furnished the plat Of grornd where they
sleep tonight.
There is an unusual amount Of sickness
about Kernvillc. Tho physicians claim
that several hundred cases Of pneumonia
exist The children nrc also afflicted with
measles and kindred complaints. The 70.
action, now that the great shock has passed
In a measure, has left hundreds OF Bufyiv-
or with their nervous forces badly shat
tered and broken.
Johnstown and adjoining villages are
now under thorough military and police
regulations. Each place has been pro-
yidcd with men enough 10 keep ont In
truden, and none save those who are
actually employed will DO allowed 10 rc-
main. Tho officers arc aucsiing men
every hour, some Of them on tho lighiest
proyocaiion. In all cases where the
oiicnso Is trivial the victims are pressed
into work with tho relief gangs. The
fotccs caring for the dead are about ex'
haustod. Several Of the undertakcrs woro
Obliged TO give up today. Lack OF sleep.
ing accommodation and consequent
broken rest and the roughest Of army fare,
consisting largely OF smt pork, bread and
black coffee, has had the usual elect when
coupled with hard work and damp
weather.
Notices were posted 10 all the morgue.s
today stating that after today bodies would

hcalion. lfat the expiration oi that time

where they camped last night. None of
the wild delegates would speak. "What-
ever the civilized tribes do in council We
will indorse, " said their spokesman. This
sudden change by the wild tribes is the
result OF the influence Of the Cherokee
delegates. Mr.. Shelton, editor of Chief
Mays's organ, the 7dhtqidh Tc,phopc, out
lined the policy OF the Cherokee Nation
upon the land question. After reviewing
the history OF his people for 100 years he
said the Cherokees did not want TO sell any
of their lands or divide up. lie had
proved that Indians could become civil
ized by holding the land in common They
wanted 10 live forever az they do now, aud
not like the white people, who possess
their lands in scvoralty, and allow the rich
TO buy all they want. There are millions
OF whites who have no land because few
men own IL ALI but the Indians are wise
they hold the land In common, 80 that the
Indian can stay IL he wants to. Ii IN be-
cause the land system of the white man is
wrong that the Cherokee preferred TO rc.
main u nation. Almost everything else
the whites do is better, and the Indians
must follow him; but tho land system OF
the Indian is the better. The Chorokecs
are civilized and happy. II the Wild tribes
will get civilized they will be likewise, and
the Government will not take the land
away from them. II the Indian sells his
land or allows it to DO divided in soycnlty
ho will become wandering gypsy. Let
not tho Indian be afraid the Government
will take his lands; rif he does not want
TO sell the Supreme Court will hold his
title good II Congress should attempt to
force him 10 sell.
This speech was sufficient, because the
Cherokecs exert great influence over the
wild tribes. The Greeks will arrive today.
They will be roasted" for selling Okla
homa.

JonNsTowN, Pa, Juno 0.-Therc Is n
strong movement on foot in iayoroi apply
ing the torch to the wrecked buildings in
Johnstown, and although the suggestion
meets with strong opposition at this time,
there is u .ic doubt tho ultimate solution
Of existing difficulties viii be by this
method. An army OF mdn has been for
two days employed in elosrlng up the
wreck in the city proper. md although
hundreds Of bodies have been discovered,
not one-Gith the ground las yet been gone
over. In many places the rubbish is piled
twenty or thirty feet high, and not inirc-
quenily these grea, drifts cover an area Of
nearly an acre. Narrow passigcs have
been cut through in every direction. bu,
the hercuean labor OF mnoving tho rub.
bish has yet hardly begun.
At u meeting OF the Central Relief Com
miltcc this afternoon Gen. Hastings sug-
gested the advsability OF drawing GORDON
around the few houses that arc not In
ruins and applying the torch 10 the re-
manning great sea oi waslc lie explained
briefly The great work y6 10 BE- accom-
plished II il were hopId to thoroughly
overhaul every portion ol the debris, and
insisted that IL would take 5,0l0 mon
months 30 complete the task. Ot the hun.
drcds OF bodies buried beneath the rub.
bish, sand and stones, the skeleton or
putTid remains Of many was all that could
be hoped was recovered.
A Amolion was made that after five hour,
more search the debris VI the city bu CON
sumrd by fire. the engines 10 bc on hand
30 play on any vlulbcs that despite pre-
yiOus precautions might become igniod 10y
the general coniigralion. This motion
was debated pro and con for nearly bali
an hour. Those whose relatives or friends
still rest beneath the wrecks, demonstrated
against any such action. They insisted
that all the talk OF threatened epidemic
was only sensational gossip OF fertile
brains, anl that the search for the bodice
should only be abandoned ~ last ex-
tremiiy. The physicians In attendance
warned the committee that tho further
exposure Of putrid bodies in the valley
could have buteno result t-tho typhoid or
some other epidemic equally fatal 10 its
victims II was a question of whether the
living should be- sacrificed 10 the dead, or
whether the sway VI sentiment or the
mandate Of science should be the ruling
impulse. Although the proposition to
burn the wrcckagc was defeated. u was
evident that the movement was gaining
many adhcrcnis, aud tho result will doubt
less be that in few days the torch will be
applied, not only to the field Of waste In
Johnslown, but also 10 the avalanche OF
debris that chokcs the stream above the
psnnsvlynnia bridge.

and fully applied tojhe relief of the vic
tins OF our unprecedented calamity"
The committee which took this remark
able action was composed OF James Me-
Millen, Cyrus Elder, w. G. Lewis, w. O..
Swank, John ID. and Dwight Roberts.
The committee also discussed the ad-
visibility of paying of the men now
working in the ruins, on Saturday night,
as promised. 1t was decided that, rs
money is OF no use to the men while here,
and might induce them TO leave the city,
1t would be better TO defer payment for u
while. The matter was referred to Chair
man John b. Scott.
Up to today the committee has received
in cash contributions S25, 275, with j,5ll
promised in addition. The greater part of
this is represented by ,elegrams from a
distance insiructing the committee Ia
draw on certain banks. This is an impos.
siblity, as there are no banking facilities
left here The committee hopes that con-
t-ibutors will forward their money by eX-
press.
