FINANCES OF THE FLOOD.
STARTLING STATEMENTS MADE IN AN
EASTERN PAPER.

Ofthe S356,S21 % Received Only s15S.
$50 Was Applied Directly TO the Relief
of the sufercrs-The Finance COM
n,iffee Criticised.
NEW YORK, July 26.-The Herald to-
day publishes from correspondent writing
from Johnstown, Pa, summary OF re-
ceipts and expenditures Of the Johnstown
Flood Finance Committee as follows:
All told this committee has received
1886, ,S21 q. OF this s15s,6 was paid out
in the ''S10 head distribution" and this
is the only part of the fund that was ap-
piled directly to the relief of the people.
OF the remainder about 500, 900 was ex-
pended by the various committees, clerk
hire and incidental expenses, including
$40, 1853 05 paid to the Fire Department and
S28, ,59S IL paid in the first few days for re-
moving the debris and dead bodies and
which was afterwards charged to the State;
but no settlement OF this account by the
State has been made and the prospects are
not good that it will ever be. There is yet
in the hands of the committee about 500, 600,
most of which the committee intends to ap-
ply to building bridges.
The action of this committee In using so
much OF this money for the Fire Depart
ment, and especially for building bridges,
has been severely criticised, the claim
which is seemingly we'll founded-being
made that it does not go to the reliet of the
needy, but, instead. is adding TO the wealth
of the property holders and men Of means
by relieving them of taxes, the benefit of
which they will solely enjoy. This COM
mittee has also been much criticised be-
cause no statement of its work was ever
given to the public, it only being in gen.
era way that the people were Informed that
much of the money was being applied to
building bridges and the like.
Just how much or how little the auditing
committee will find out is hard to tell, but
with the mass OF figures presented to them
it is doubtful If they will discover, as did
to-day, that prominent citizen has drawn
big pay for several weeks from tive commit
tees, covering the same time.
As to the receipts money has been re-
ceived from every State in the Union and
from nearly every country in the world.
Pennsylvania leads with $81, SOP SO, Ohio
sent $50, ,918 SO, New York follows with $52,-
425 90 and New Jersey with S41, ,468 So.
Among other receipts So, 145 49 was hand
ed over by the morgue authorities this
morning, having been taken from the bod
les of the unidentified dead. Among the
anonymous contributions was one of 1921
found in a bag of beans.
In superficial examination of these ac-
counts it is observed that all received pay
for their work and that little work was
done that was not paid for, even the citizens
who assisted in carrying their own dead in
the first days sending in bill.
An auditing of the accounts of this COM
mittee is promised soon, and perhaps full
statement will theu be published.

NEW BRIGHTON, July 26.-Dr. MeKin-
ney, in an interview, says he has never di-
reeted any delay in the arrest of Wallace,
but has steadily insisted on his prompt
arrest and a thorough investigation.
The delay of the arrest was due
to the action OF the attorneys
with q view of getting their testimony
fully arranged for hearing. They prom
ised him the delay would only be for this
week, and he yielded to their desire against
his own judgment; has again insisted on
the immediate arrest, and they have prom

He says so far as his knowledge extends

Romero, Mexican Minister at Washington,
reached this city to-day en- route to the City

however, declare that he is going to Mexico
in response to call from President Diaz,
who intends promoting him to an important

without moments notice. The strike
is to enforce demand for two hours
less work on SATURDAYS. There has been
considerable friction between the Journey

union held secret meeting and decided
upon an immediate strike.
The Journeymens' Executive Committee

chance that the bakers of other nationalities
in the city, numbering probably 1000 men
additional, will also go on strike.

There are many other claims that need

Lead and Silver.

The condition of the lead market gener-

can be now seen, there is but little reason
to hope for any Improvement
In New York, the business has been
principally of retail character There
was no pressure to sell, or values would
have greatly declined.
In Chicago, there has been little change

light.
In st. Louis, lead is dull, and there is a
very light demand. Buyers views are
generally lower than those of sellers, and.
consequently, transactions are few and far
between.
