L ..N,a rfr Of
bury, owing to interrupted communication

HARMONY REIGNs.
HAREIeBrRG, Pa, June 7.-Referrlng tbs
evening to the reports Of the disagreement
between the General Committee al PITTS
burgh in charge OF the direction OF
affairs az JohnstOwn and Governor Beaver,
the Governor said: 81 have been so much
absorbed day and night In the work OF al
fordng relief for the sufferers and IN re-
ceiying funds for their Use that ] hsye not
been able TO read the newspapers and did
not know until the subject was called 10 nv
attention to-day that such reports were beng
circulated. There Is not the slightest
foundation for such TumOc. We have been
10 constant and direct communication since
Monday last. and all that they have done has
been oost cordially endorsed by me. The
committee is composed Of some OF the best
men OF Pennsylvania OF such business energy
and tsct that wherever they sre known their
action would not for 2 moment be ques-
tened
The committee a. JOhustOwn IS also or
ganlzed very effectively, and is doing It's
work as well as It could possibly be done.
The people in Pittsburgh and vicinity have
been extremely liberal in their contributions,
And are expendlng their funds in the imme'
date relief OF their suffering neiehbors.
"Suppes IN great abundance have come in
from all parts OF The country and the present
indications are that when the work Of re-
building commences more substantial help
will be offered in the way Of building mate
rial, &c. Large sums Of money from outside
the State have come into the hands Of the
Executive directly and INTO repositories de-
signated by him in his address 10 the public,
accompanied in many cases with specific
directions as to how he money is 10 he Bp
piled and In many other eases leaving lis
distribution 10 the discretion Of the Executive
alone.
"Inasmuch rs there are several Independent
committees in the State 1t is deemed adyisa-
bic, IN order 10 secure unity and harmony OF
work, to have conference OF all interested
at Philadelphia tomorrow, when II Is hoped
some plan will be devised by which cen
trail committee OF responsible persons may
be organized, TO which will be referred the
distribution OF these funds. So far as the
work OF relieving the suffering and pro-
yiding for relief and in clearing away the
great mass OF debris which has collected in
various localities il concerned, il cannot be
intrusted TO better hands than those ia which
it has been placed.
a. Many OF the best businessmen I'm Pitts
burgh are giving their time gratuitousiy 10
the general welfare much more assiduOusiy
than they would devote Themselves 10 their
own business. Those who have heretofore
contributed. whether their money went into
the hands OF the committee at Pittsburgh or
at Johnstown, or TO any OF the repositories
mentioned by me i'm the public address re-
ferred to, may I've assured that every cent OF
their contributions has been and will be
wisely expended
1.-The public may be and ought TO be fully
assured OF the entire harmony OF all parties
interested IN slleyiating the suffering Of our
people, ana also OF all these efforts IN such
way as 10 accomplish the best results ana
afford the greatest confidence 10 the public.
The Wort, immediately IN hand hss been so
urgent and engrossing thai parties interested
could not arrange for the conference before
tomorrow, at which tune one will be held
10 the Mayors office In Philadelphia. In
the mean time it is entirely safe 10 say we
are in need OF all funds in hand and likely to
be contributed for the purpose OF relieving
this great suffering"
