JoHNsTowN, Pa, June t0.-Governor
Beaver, so much inquired for during the
last week, came here yesterday, looked
at the wreck with weeping eyes, confer
red for an hour and half with William
Flynn. James r. Scott, William Nc
Creery, Gen. Tasting and others who
have borne the burden Of the work of
rescue and relief and pledged million
dollars from the state treasury upon con-
ditions which were satisfied at once.
A state Commission.
There will be no extra session of the
Legislature.
A state commission, with the gov
ernor at its head, will take control of
the relief work on Wednesday.
1t was proposed that the state furnish
81 100000 TO Gen. Beaver for immediate
Use in clearing up and restoring Johns
town. In order to make the state Whole
200 citizens of Pittsburg. Philadelphia
and other portions of it will become in-
dividually responsible until the legisla-
ttfre meets and makes appropriations
that will relieve them. THIS plan was
unanimously aoreed to-
IL was also arranged that on
Wednesday morning Gen. Hastings,
acting for Governor Beaver, should
take charge of the work Of policing tho
valley and clearing it up, including
Johnstown and the surrounding bor-
oughs. Governor Beaver left at z
o'clock last night for Philadelphia.
Governor HEAVIER interviewed.
In an interview Governor Beaver said
that he had been over the entire flooded
district and found the supply depots
well filed, but they must soon be re-
plenished.
II found the streams filled with deDris
and accumulated drift in which there is
a possibility of human bodies being inn
bedded, with probability, if allowed to
remain, will endanger public health,
leaving 1t impressed in my mind that the
public powers OF the state must be ex-
ercised 70 restore things to their normal
condition.
s'The funds which have come into my
hands in such large amounts and from
SO many quarters outside of the state
and which have been imposed upon me
as sacred trust, win be expended
wholly and absolutely for the benefit of
individual sufferers No part of it viii
be expended in work which is legiti-
mately the domain of the state under its
police powers. This wish to empha-
size, SO that all contributors TO the fund
may feel assured that their money will
be iudiciously and economically ex-
pended for the benefit of suffering hui
manitya and not 70 the work which should
and will be undertaken by the state or
municipal authorities"
