The Governor of Pennsylvania and the
 Relief Committee

PITTSBURGH Pa, June 9.-The uneer- tain relations of Governor Beaver and the Pittsburgh committee for the relief of the Johnstown sufferers. has given rise ta great deal of discussion and no little expression of feeling within the past few days. The Leader instituted an iHvesti- gation and publishes to-day long article condemning the Governors seeming neg lect in withholding large sums of money now in his possession, and his tardiness in needing the popular call for a special session of the State Legislature for the purpose of appropriatiag funds sufficient t3 cover the cost ef the public work. But s8 ,0o9 Of tue S36o090 subscribed ia this city has SD far been used as the donors iuteHded-for the relief of the personal necessities of the victims, the balance is held as { reserve fund far the payment Of the Wages Of Booth < FlyHu's lahurers. This part of the work, the contributors have freely confessed Was in their opiu- ion. the province Of the State, which has l health bureau. They blamed the Gov eruor, not the relief committee, f9r the diversion of the fund . the labaHiHg gangs from the sufferers, and were prac- ticallg unanimous in demanding that a special session of the Legislature, to ap- pFenriate money for the removal of re- fuse and ruin, and consequent protection of public health, be convened without further barley.
 If this be done within the next couple os days, the relief committee can release for thu sufferers benefit the sums it is now, in expectation Of being compeled to pay Booth & Flynn, holding iH reserve If t is not done. the sufferers will prob ably continue suffering with meager as sistanee.
 The Chicago relief committee, who ar rived here yesterday, stated very em- phatically that the relief money should, in their opinion, go directly to the suffer- CTS. They were so emphatic, indeed, that a story got out credlung them with de- clining to turn over to Chairman Me- Creery large sum of money they brought with them 10 be distributed in the manner indicated-that is, in payment for clear ing away the debris.
 Said Chairman MeGreery last evening 1t is true that they did at first think the money should go direct to the sufferers, but after We had explained matters to them, they said our action in putting the city in good condition was perfectly right, the State being expected to refund the money afterWard. had only talked 10 them ten minutes when they handed me check for S29, 05o and we have since received two other checks from Chicago" ;"

The State Win Do It's Duty-Outside
 Contributions a Sacred Trust.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 9.--ln an inter
 view Governor Beaver said that he had been over the entire flooded district, and found the supply depots well filled, but they must soon be replenished. 'I found the streams filled with debris and ae- cumuated drift, in which there is a pos
 sibiiity of human bodies being imbedded, with probability, if allowed Co remain that they will eHdanger public health, leaving it impressed on my mind that the police powers of the State must be ex- ercised to restore things to their normal condition. The funds which have come into my hands in such large amounts and from so many quarters outside the State, and which have been imposed upon me as a sacred trust, will be expended wholly and absolutely tor the benefit Of individual sufferers. No part Of it will be expended in work which is legitimate ly the domain of the State under its po- lice powers This 1 wish to emphasize so that all subscribers to the fund may be assured their money will be jadieious and economically spend for the benefit of suffering humanity and not to the work which should and will be undertaken by the State or municipal authorities.
