' JOHNSTOWN RECOVERING.
Improved Prospects for tho
People of tho Flooded City.
Business Resumed, and the Work
of Restoration Progressing,
Johnstown, Penn., is steadily recovering
from the effects of the terrible flood. The
estimate of the loss of life has been reduced
to between 3009 and 4000. The amount of
money subscribed throughout the country
or tho flood sufferers is over $3,000,000. A
ecent dispatch from Johnstown gives the
ollowing details concerning the resumption
of business and the work of restoration and
relief:
The first real work under tho supervision
of the State commenced this morning at 0
o'clock. The whistle at the Cambria Iron
and Steel Works was the signal for the men
to commence, and about fifteen hundred started
in with their picks and shovels. The early
morning was warm and cloudy. As the
morning advanced the weather grew warmer,
aDd by 10 o'clock the sun was shining
brightly and every one on the ground was
hard at work. During the morning a crowd j
of men iu some manner secured an entrance
to the town and wanted to inaugurate a
strike among the workmen. James Mc- .
Knight, of Pittsburg, of the State contractors,
went to General Hastings, who is in full <
charge at Johnstown, and demanded protec- ]
tion for the men. A detatchment of mili- j
fcia from the Fourteenth Regiment were de
tailed to the place and they drove away all
the men who refused to work. This caused (
General Hastings to issue an order to the soldiers
not to admit auy one to Johnstown ,
proper without an order.
The business men of the town seemed to
have awakened to their senses, and this '
morning a number of them were preparing
to start over again in business. Two groccry
stores wero started near the Pennsylvania i
railroad freight station. Both "places wero <
doing a land oflice business and this encour- t
aged other merchants to start up, and tho
probabilities are that inside of a week at lat- ]
est 100 stores will be in operation. Already j
two barber's shops and one jewelry store .
have been opened.
General Hastings said : " As yet I do not
know how many men are at work, but I suppose
there must be 1500 at the least calculation.
We intend to put as many men to work ?
as can be worked properly. I do not suppose 1
we want more than 5000, and it will be an
easy matter to get that many men. I do not s
want to employ any one but Pennsylvania c
men, and would like to get as many Johns- (
town people at work as possible, fhey are
the ones that need tho work. A false impres- r
sion has broken out to the effect that the r
boroughs here are under martial or mlitary
law. This is a mistake. The State has i.
charge of the work, and the only thing the
military is doing is guarding the property.
We will clear away all the debris on the f
streets and level the town off. I do not know
Waf n'a tpi'11 nlaon mif flifl aoIIapc r\f
the houses, but if I had my own way I would (
do it. It is as little as the State can do to "
clean out the places and give the people clean J
foundation to build on. Beside, there is not ~
the least doubt that there are a number of *
bodies in these cellars and they should be
taken out.." c
GeSteiai Hastings has now gotten every- ?
tiiitig d'Ovfti to a system. Thero will be but b
jjnj morguS and hospital and one headquarters.
Everything has now been centralized, a
and it is easy to get at the facts. a
Captain Seers, of the United States Army, ^
one of the Corps of Engineers at "Willet's
Point, and Captain Burbank, of the "West f
Point Engineering Corps, have laid out the
different boroughs in five districts, and com- ?
petcnt men have been appointed to take
charge of each district. Captain Seers, in an n
interview, said: "I am only here to ail vise
General Hastings and do what I can to help I
him. I think that inside of two weeks the &
three or four thousand men that will be at tl
work will succecd in putting the town in very
good condition, and I think inside of a month ei
Johnstown will have almost recovered from $
this terrible shock." A
The general opinion among well-posted c
people here is that the loss of life will be be- t<
Ween 3000 and 4000. It was generally given
out that Johnstown and boroughs adjoining
had a population of 35,000 people, but this is 7
a very high estimate, and conservative poo- r
pie put the population between 25,000 and l1
28,000. Colonel Rogers, who' has charge of r
the registration, states that from all he can u
learn the population only amounted to about ^
25,000, and this accounts for 10,000 people
supposed to be lost. ?
Tne reports sent out from hero to the ef- ii
feet that 12,000 to 15,000 people were missing ti
were based upon the supposition that there
were 35.000 inhabitants in these borousrhs. V
f' To-day was the second day since ttie nooa si
that Johnstown was not deluged with rain, n
The people are making heroic efforts to clean tl
out their houses to fit them for habitation, n
Neighbors have combined to help one another X
to reset houses on their foundations and to d
remove the accumulations of drift and rubbish
which bar entrance to their doors. The D
sewer pipes are all awry and the collars are ftdl Jy
of water. There is need for engines to pump a
out the water as early as possible. Syphen- a
ing has been tried, but with no success, as .
the cellars are much lower than the ground. D
The Cambria Company started out a corps
of surveyors this afternoon to locate lines of .
demarcation for the rebuilding and repair of V
their demolished plant.
uiciSlio step toward putting
Johnstown's business men on their feet again
was made to-dav, when about two hundred
merchants who nad survived the flood. ma*r? I
ot them .without a dollar, met Adjutant h
Genefal Hastings this afternoon, and were tl
^usSurcd that they would be re-established in
business on long credit. Both Pittsburg aud a
Philadelphia wholesalers have offered Johns- fc
town merchants this business courtesy upon ?
the suggestion of General Hastings. n
The report of the Bureau of Transporta- s<
tion, which died with the Citizens' Ilelief (|
Committee, was presented to James B. Scott
to-day. It shows that from June 4 to 11, in- 5
elusive, 1592 people were given free trans- ?
porta tion out of Johnstown. Out of these
,872 were over the Pennsylvania and 720 over f
the Baltimore and Ohio. One hundred and ?
seventy-six were sent to Pittsburg by tli3
Baltimore and Ohio and 030 over the Peunsvlvania;
157 were sent to Philadelphia over '
the Baltimore and Ohio. The Bureau of In- a
formation answered 287 telegrams and sixty- f.
eight letters, mostly inquries from anxious j
friends as to the safety of Johnstowners.
Th3 mass at the stone bridge was fir?d this J
afternoon and to-night is burning furiously. 1
, "With it is destroyed all hope of recovering c
the bodies that are certainly there entombed. ^
Adjutant-General Hastings said to-night: 1
"Provisions and clothing are coming in at a
satisfactory rate and there is no immediate i
prospect of a diminution. I have instructed 5
*11 the commissarv people to be generous 1
in dealing out supplies. "Where there is any t
question they will give the applicant the 1
benefit of the doubt. To-day we have been (
feeding a good many of tho men, but every
ccnt of it is being charged up against
them. The soldiers are also taking \
supplies from tho commissary departments,
but this is all charged to the State,
and as soon as I get to Harrisburg I will '
make out a warrant for the amount in favor '
of the relief fund. This morning I tele- .
graphed Mayor Fitler of Philadelphia for
four steam fire engines. At 11 he replied
that they were on the way with crews. I *
deemed this necessary as a precautionary '
measure, on account of the great mass of '
debris we shall burn during the next few
days."
Governor Beaver announced that he had
abandoned tho idea of using $1,000,000 out
of the Pennsylvania State Treasury under j
the proposed indemnity-bond scheme, for j
the reason that such action might establish a ]
bad precedent. He has decided instead to
adopt the suggestion of William H. Kemble
?that the money be loaned to the Governor j
by private corporations. The Governor J
stated that he had been offered a million dol- (
lars by national banks of Philadelphia without
security and without interest, the loaners
to be reimbursed by the Legislature at its
next session, and he has accepted this offer, j
This money will be used to clear the streams 1
and place the highways in order and perform 1
other necessary State worlt. i

curve. On this the train, consisting of
an engine, express and four mail cars,
plunged at the rate of sixty miles an hour.

THE TREATY SIGNED,
Work of the Samoan Conference in
Berlin Accomplished.
The agreement negotiated by the Commissioners
to the Samoan Conference for the
settlement of affairs in Samoa has been
signed by all the members of the Conference.
America baring abandoned her principal
objections to the agreement previously arrived
at, the plenipotentiaries had only to
make unessential modifications in the wording
of the draft. The draft guarantees an autonomous
administration of the islands under
the joint control oi Gerinauy and America,
England acting as arbitrator in the event
of difference arising. The Samoans are
to elect their own King and Vicaroy,
and to be represented in a Sonate composed
of the principal chiefs and Chambers
elected by the people. Samoa is to havo the
right of levying duties of every kind. The
agreement also stipulates that the Germans
shall receive a money indemnity for their
losses. A special court will be appointed to
deal with the land question.
The Americans made their ndhesion conditional
upon the ratification of the agreement
by the United States Senate next December.
The status quo will, therefore, obtain in
Samoa until December.

MONUMENT.
A Memorial Erected by His Friends
Unveiled at Albany.
The handsome granits and bronze monument
erected ;it the grave of the late President
Chester A. Arthur, in Rural Cemetery,
at Albany, N. Y., by some of his personal
admirers, has been officially unveiled, without
ceremony, by the donors, who inspected it.
CHESTER A. ARTHUR'S MONUMENT.
The monument over General Arthur's grave
was designed by Mr. E. Keyser, of Albany,
and the work <?st $10,000. A broad flight of
five granite steps leads from the path to the
turf which covers the burial plot, while
around the enclosure are granite pillars, between
which are suspended heavy chains of
bronze. In the centre of the plot is the
monument, a sarcophagus of dark granite,
perfectly plain ana highly polished. The
sarcophagus stands on two piers of lightercolored
granite, also highly polished. The
piers rest on a broad base of granite, and the
base is supported by a smoothly dressed granite
plinth ten feet long and six feet broad.
At the foot of the sarcophagus stands a
figure representing the Angel of Sorrow.
The figure is of bronze, and is of heroic size.
It stands with folded wings leaning against
the sarcophagus, one wing being thrown outward
by the pressure in the most animated
and picturesque maimer. The left arm of
the figure is extended along the sarcophagus
laying on the tomb a palm of bronze. There
is no inscription on the sarcophagus, but on
the base is* the word "Arthur" in letters
raised in high relief, and also a tablet of
bronze sunk into the base with the inscription:
CHESTER ALAN ARTHUR,
: Twenty-first President of the United :
; States. :
: Born, Oct, 5, 1830. ' I
; Died, Nov. 18.1886. :
There are also buried in the plot General
Arthur's father and mother, his wife and a
son. A fund for the erection in New York
of a statue to General Arthur has been
raised, and the money has all been paid in.
As yet no design has been adopted, but one
soon will be, and the work will then be begun.
The statue will doubtless be placed in
one of the principal public squares or parks I

WET BY A BIG MAJORITY.
Prohibition Defeated in Pennsylvania
?The Poll T.ax Retained.
Returns from sixty-four of the sixty-seven
counti^ in Pennsylvania give 164,470 majority
against the proposed amendment
prohibiting the sale of liquor.
Forty-two counties (not including Allegheny)
gave 4525 majority for abolishing the poll
tax, but the rural districts voted heavily
against this amendment and it is lost.
Returns received at the Pittsburg Times
office include every county in the State, and
are as follows:
Against the Prohibition Amendment 189,710
For .. 54,517
Majority against 135,19?
As the later returns come in it is apparent
that the Prohibition defeat is more complete
and overwhelming than was ever dreamed of.
Exact figures from fifty counties in the State
and close estimates on the other seventeen
give a majority against the prohibitory
amendment of 200,057. These figures were
not likely to be materially changed.
Returns received show that the suffrage
amendment (proposing the abolition of the
fif tv-cent do 11 tax Qualification) is defeated bv
a decided majority, notwithstanding the fact 1
that Philadelphia gave 9*2,525 majority for its
adoption. The latest estimate from "all but
twelve counties was 146,996 against the poll
tax abolition.
CANADIAN CRUISERS,
Ordered to S<~:ze American Vessels
Violating the Fishery Laws.
An Ottawa dispatch says the Dominion
Government, not encouraged by the pros
pects of early adjustment of the fishery ques
tion, have instructed commanders of
Government cruisers not to overlook
any infraction of the fishery regulations,
but to seize any vessels found guilty of
violating the law whon the evidence will
warrant such a step. The instructions issued
to commanders are far more stringent than
those issued last year, when there appeared
to be a possibility of an early settlement
of the difficulty. Last season there
was not a single seizure made, but this year
the same leniency is not to be shown, and as
the mackerel have just struck in along the
coast of Pel iu immense schools, closely followed
by a largo fl^et of American fishermen,
