Sanitary Commission at Once.
At the meeting of the Masonic fraternity
yesterday morning committee consisting of
Z. w. Bachelor, James s. Mexican, T. ]. Hud-
son and j. R. Buchanan was appointed to call
on the General Government to take action at
once to have sanitary measures Dut in force. A
long message was sent to President Harrison
explaining the horrible condition of the Con-
emaugh Valley. The committee called his at
tention to the large number of bodies that
cannot possibly be gathered up for several
days and the number of dead domestic ami
mails which will naturally be left to the last.
The danger of every stream which the waters
of the .Conemaugh reach being polluted was
pointed out, and the great probability of an
epidemic or plagne reaching from Pittsburg to
New Orleans dwelt upon. The committee
urged upon the President to appoint Sanitary
Commission without delay to take charge of
and carry on the work of clearing up the Cone
maugh Valley. Like dispatches were sent to
the Pennsylvania Senators.

HARRISON'S OPINION.
The President Says the State Board OF
Health Should Act-He Reminds Us
That We Possess n Governor
and n State Board-He Wants
the Governors Request


the Governors Request
Before He Acts.
The following kilograms which were read to
President Harrison by the Masonic Committee,
and the answers sent by him, show very clearly
what the outside world thinks of our great ca
lamity. The President states clearly that our
StaJe Board of Health should be able to cope
with the disaster, and that Surgeon General
Hammond will not be sent unless specially re-
quested by the Governor. The messages read
as follows:
PITTsBURG, June g. 1859.
His ExceIlency. Benjamin Harrison, President of
United States, Washington:
Situation at Johnstown appalling in extreme.
Unless immediate steps are taken to remove dead
from water every river affected by waters of Con-
emaugh will carry pestilence in its course. Can
you not send Government Sanitary Corps to the
scene without moments delay. Every hours de-
been on the scene for two days. No words can de-
scribe terrible situation and suffering. Houses
and whole families swept away by flood and fire.
Death and devastation incomprehensible.

and he replied:
BEAVER, June g. 1885,

Received your telegram, and have wired the
President. NJ. s. QUAY.
Then there came this pointed reply from the
White House:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, June g. 1889.
James S. Mexican and others, Masonic Committee,
Pittsburg:
Our only sanitary corps consists of a few medi-
cal officers. One, Dr. Darlington, is stationed at
Pittsburg. You have State Board of Health, and
unless the Governor should request it, Surgeon
General Hamilton could not interfere. We are
anxious to extend every possible help, but what
you need is systematic work under proper author
ity. If the Governor and your State Board of
Health make any call upon me in any matter in
my discretion will gladly respond, and will di-
rect DIR. CarringtOn to report the situation. and
Dr. Hamilton will communicate at once with your
State Board of Health. Respectfully,

A WORD FOR THE HUNS.
Consul Max Schamberg Thinks They Hav
Been Wrongly Accused.

Consul Max Schnmberg Thinks They Have
Been Wrongly Accused.
Mr.. Max Schamberg, the Austrian Consul,
thinks it more than possible that the Hungari.
ans have been unjustly accused as the perpe-
traitors of all the robbery and outrage at Johns
town. Mr.. Schamberg states that many of
them there are above the average in intelli-
gence, and that number held responsible sit
uations in the mills. He supposes that many
suspected of robbery may have been looking
for the bodies of their friends, and unable to
express themselves in English, could not ex-
plain. While he states that he hasn't any
doubt there may have been some SO engaged.
yet he says they are no more inclined to pillage
and riot than other nations and supposes that
the gnouls belonged to the tough classes to be
found in all nations.
Mr.. Schamberg stated that while he didn't
want to make any parade about it. either he or
some of his agents would go to Johnstown to
investigate, and he hoped there would be no ef-
fort made in the meanwhile to stir up a race
conflict
