Saddest of all the scenes of the great
. mine disaster at Johnntown. ,Pa-, were
tie affecting leavtakiis V the dea'd,
which commenced yesfe-da morning-.
A day the Croatian. Slav and Greek
Catholic churches were filled -with pic
turesque throng, who attended the last ,
sen-Ice for the dead. Knots of women
and men stood on the .street corners,
weeping and groaning. Many -omn
who attended the liirt. rites in the
ch8fhes were dicrconW with grief and
fell faintine to the. floor. Most of th
funerals today werer in St. Stephen's
Glovak Church, where both Slavs and
Peles worship. At the Greek Catholic
Church and the Croatian Chtrfch,
where mass was said over many of the
dead, "the streets surrounding the build

olamering for admission.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. July 12. The ex
tent of the horrible catastrophe of tho
Rolling Mill mine of the Cambria Steel
Company, Is now capable of being
grasped. Early tonight. In spite of con
flicting reports as to the number of dead,
a careful and complete compilation by the
Associated Press shows that 112 Is the
exact number of bodies.. taken from the
mine. Up td 6 o'clock this evening, 10S
bodies had been recovered, and at 8
o'clock four more were brought to. the
surface. To this list future explorations
of the mine corridors may add a. few.
but It cannot be many. Almost all the
employes who could have been Jn the
mine at the time of the life-wrecking ex
plosion of Thursday are accounted for.
Very few inquiries for missing have been
made to the authorities or to the mine
officials, and this, better than anything
else, demonstrates the impossibility of
many bodies still remaining In the death
trap. Mine officials say there is no use
attempting to "estimate the number of
dead. They say simply they do not know,
andurge the futility of placing the matter
on the basis of guess work. They express
the belief, however, that all, or almost
all, are out of the mine.
General Superintendent Robinson came
out about 8 o'clock this evening, after an
arduous day's exploration. He expressed
his conviction that not more than five
dead bodies would be added to the 112 al
ready known.
Day of Funerals.
Sunday will dawn upon the populous
City of Johnstown prepared to devote Its
attention to mourning and obsequies.
The Inaugural of -thhi grim programme
was given today, when more than a. score
of interments took place. As late as 7
o'clock this evening, funeral processions,
with bands playing dirges and uniformed
escorts at their heads, passed through
the streets of the city.
After the bringing of the 15 bodies to
the morgue at an early hour today, it
was commonly rumored that tho nYlne
officials were endeavoring to hide the
truth as to the extent of the disaster.
The developments of the day showed that
these suspicions were unwarranted. At
9 o'clock in the morning there was a
consultation in the offices at the foot of
the runway at the Westmore entrance,
participated in by Mine Superintendent
Robinson, Mine Engineer Moora and As
sistant Mine Engineer Prosser. A large
map of the mine was explained to Mr.
Roderick. Many of the employes of tho
xnlno were called In and quizzed. The In
quiry was designed to give. Chief Inspect
or Roderick a preliminary impression of
the status of things.
Inspector Evans said later as to future
Investigations:
"Those of the company officials whe
were in the mine at the time of the ex
plosion and have survived will be called
on to testify. Until these meri are able
to be present at the Inquiry, it will be
useless to try to do anything."
Asked as to whose duty it was to
"take care of the accumulation of gas in
the mine, Mr. Evans said:
"The fire boss, of course but two or
three of the Are bosses were killed by
the explosion, and in the presence of
death we must be charitable and suspend
Judgment."
After the consultation at the office,
Evans went Into the mine with Robin
son and Moore. They did not emerge un
til late in the afternoon. The work they
did while in the mind was to direct their
attention to the damage wrought and
more critically examine into the possible
hiding places for more bodies. Prying
about in the fourth right heading in the
Klondike, State Inspector Evans came
across rooms 19 and 20, distributed be
tween which were the three bodies which
were brought out at 2:30 P. M. Evans
was alone at the time. The bodies he
found were in a bad state of decay. Tho
search went on after the three were
brought out, and still continues.
The Morbidly Carious.
All day thousands of men, women and
children, drawn thither out of morbid
curiosity, lingered about the low frame
structures. Their appetite apparently
could not be satisfied by the already vast
horror. Hundreds stood in a baking sun
nearly opposite on the other side of the
Conemaugh River, where the cars came
down from the mine entry. Most of these
were Interested In friends who were pos
sible victims. Down below, a quarter of
a mile, the streets of Conemaugh City
were clogged with funeral corteges.
Three deaths occurred during the night
at Cambria Hospital. These were among
the last living victims who were brought
out of the mine yesterday afternoon In
an unconscious condition. Another of
these is in a precarious condition.
Mine Superintendent George T. Robin
son today said they would have the mine
ready for work by Monday. He said
there has not been the .slightest danger
from explosion since the original and only
one Thursday. The mine, he admitted,
especially the section -known as "Klon
dlke;" always contained gas. It did not
exist In dangerous quantities, he said, and
to cause an explosion, some one must
have violated the rules as to lights. Every
precaution was taken to guard against
accident.
Superintendent Robinson commends the
Johnstown doctors for their bravery that
saved the lives of a dozen or more men.
"When we made our first dash Into the
mine," he said, "we were taking our lives
-. In our hands, as none knew what was be
yond our course. The doctors came on.'
and followed our lead without the slight
est tremor."
Dr. Frank Taylor, one of the rescuing
party, who has made many trips Into the
mine, is positive that there are many
more bodies in the mine, and that the list
of dead will be greatly Increased. A num
ber of rooms have not been entered, and
In these Dr. Taylor expects many bodies
will be found.

ROOSEVELT AND TRACY.
pfntlonal Guardsman Tells a Story of
it Conversation at Oyster Br.
. OYSTER BAT, July 12. Colonel Edward
Emerson, of tha Venezuelan Army, form
erly a member of the President's regiment
of Rough Rider, accompanied by James
Tracy and John A. Ryan, of the Second
Battery of the New York National Guard,
called up&n the President this afternoon.
They were attired in Rough Rider uni
forms. Subsequently to their' call, they told a
remarkable story of the President's inter
est In the case of the outlaw Tracy in
Washington State, who was reported as
being the cousin of James Tracy. Secre
tary Cortelyou afterwards said that no
such conversation as reported had oc
curred, and that the name of the outlaw
Tracy had not been mentioned.
By direction df the President, his official
yacht, the Mayflower, has been ordered
from the Brooklyn navy-yard to Oyster
Bay. No plans for the yacht, while here,
have been made. It la likely that the
President and his family may take a trip
of a day or two In the yacht, but It Is not
certain that they will do even that.
ROSEHILIS RIGHTS.
Government Not Llkelj; to Interfere
at Marcos Island.
WASHINGTON, July 12, In regard to
the report that international complica
tions may ensue 'between the United
States and Janan as the result of the
Japanese taking .possession of Marcus
Island, a small guano island about 3000
miles west of Honolulu, and which" Is
owned, it is claimed, by Captain A- -A
Rosehlll, an American citizen, an Inspec
tion of the Government record discloses
the fact that in 1SS9 Captain Rosehlll
lodged notice of the discovery by him of
Marcus Island in the Western Pacific, and
claimed the right to exploit It for guano.
The State Department Is not required
by the law governing guano Island entries
to pass upon the sufficiency of any such
claim as that made by Captain Rosehlll.
The department simply receives such no
tice" for the purpose of recording, another
section of the law requiring the claimant
to a guano island to take outi a bond, the
purpose of which Is to see that he docs
.not charge an exorbitant price for the
guano; that the Island claimed by him
does not belong to any other country and
that he- will vacate when he has taken
away the guano. There is no such thing
as a fee simple title for the Island; the
Government merely affirms the right of
the claimant to tike the guano. Recently.
Captain Rosehlll filed the necessary bond
in the Treasury. The law requires a
proclamation to be issued announcing to
the world tho location of the guano plane,
but this has not been done In Captain
Rosehlll's case, nor in fact his any such
proclamation been issued since the ad
ministration of Hamilton F"lsh In the State
Department, It Is the general Impression
that these guano titles are of extremely
doubtful force, and it is the further opin
ion that it is absolutely necessary to
maintain title that the island claimed
should bo continuously occupied and ex
plored for guano by the claimant, which
does not appear to have been the case
with Marcus Island. Therefore, If the
Japanese aro working the Jslnnd as re
ported, it Is improbable that the United
States Government will Interfere.
TAX ON BANK PROFITS.
Internal Revenne Bureau Temporar
ily Suspends Collection.
WASHINGTON, July 12. The Acting
Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
issued Instructions suspending tho collec
tion of taxes on undivided profits of Na
tional banks under the war revenue act.
The banks fought the contention of the
Government that undivided profits were
part of the surplus of banks, and the
Leather Manufacturers' Bank, of New
York, brought suit against Collector Treat
to prevent the collection of the tax. The
Circuit Court decided In. favor of the
Government. Previously It had been the
understanding that if the court sustained
the Government, the tax would be col
lected. Now, however, the bank has ap
pealed to the Supreme Court, and the
Acting Commissioner today instructed
Collector Treat to suspend collection un
til the return of Commissioner Ycrks,
when general instructions will be Issued
to all collectors.
Porto RIean Merchants Alarmed.
A SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, July 12. The
merchants, here are alarmed at advices
from France foreshadowing the possible
imposition of a prohibitive tariff on Porto
Rlcan coffee. The Chamber of Commerce
has cabled'to Washington urging that ac
tion be taken In the matter, as France is
the only foreign market open ito Porto
Rlcan coffee growers.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Offlcials here
express doubt that France would discrim
inate against Porto Rican coffee, as it
would violate the favored-nation clause
of the" existing commercial treaty between
the United States and France. The French
-Government, It Is pointed out. Is very
anxious to have the reciprocity treaty be
tween the two countries ratified and this Is
cited by Administration officials here as
another reason why the alleged proposed
discrimination is unlikely. '

Season nt an End.,
LONDON, July 12. The announcement
that tho coronation -of King Edward will
Erobably occur between August 8 and 12
as caused a hasty rearrangement of
plans in all directions. Visits to the
country and to the Continent have been
canceled and the season has been auto-
matlcally lengthened to
August. "While on all sid
the middle of
sides there Is deep
gratification that the King Is well enough
to go through the ceremony. It Is gen
erally accompanied by an expression of
feeling that It will be a relief when It Is
all over. Everything, except society func
tions, is still at a standstill. These con
tinue to be exceptionally brilliant, and In
terest In them has never played such a
prominent part.
At Buckingham Palace the following
bulletin was posted at 10 A. M. today:
"King Edward Is making excellent prog
ress. On account of His Majesty's satis
factory condition, bulletins will be issued
on alternate days only.
"TREEVES, LAKING. BARLOW."

Three Co quell fas on One StaRC Sea
son nt an End.
LONDON.. July 12. The theatrical sea
son has pracflcaly come to an end. . The
recent heat seriously affected the receipts.
Several pieces wlilch it was Intended to
run right on have been withdrawn. Bcer
bohm Tree's "Merry Wives of Windsor"
is one of the few exceptions, and It will
be continued until the coronation, with
Ellen Terry and Mrs. Kendall in the cart.
The appearance this week of the three
Coquellns on one stage reaped the success
which the novel feature of the Idea mer
ited. They confined themselves almost en
tirely to Moliere's plays, which were en
thusiastically received. The French plays
at the Ganick will end July 26.
Charles Frohman has arranged for the
production In America of nn Elizabethan
morality play, "Every Man," which has
created a great deal of talk in London.
Tho complete English company will go
over, with Edith Mathleson In the title
role. It will first appear at one of the
large halls In New York during the early
Fall with the scenery used here. Mr.
Frohman has also arranged to star Marie
Tempest in London in her new play, and
will take her to America later this year.

Meidonado In "Iris," will support Vir
ginia Harhed when Mr. Frohman pro?
duces "Iris" at the Criterion Theater.
Asche will be permitted to go to New

SCfHBIIDT WRECKED THE BANK.
Cansc of the Collapse of the Lelp
siger Institution.
BERLIN, July 12. The ruin of the Lelp
stger Bank, that failed about a year ago
for nearly 200,000.000 marks, was wrought
by the fascinating personality of Adolph
Schmidt, according to testimony given at
the three weeks trial of the bank's di
rectors, now nearing an end. The Grain
Drying Company of Cassel, a concern
exploiting on an enormous scale a process
for drying beer dregs ahd cattle feed,
persuaded the back to advance during a
number of years sums of money aggre
gating 80,000,000 marks. Every member of
the apparently well-meaning board of di
rectors, -when examined before the Jury,
admitted that this colossal business mis
take was indefensible upon sound com
mercial principles. Nevertheless, they
consented because Schmidt made them
believe in the amazing possibilities and
profits of the process. Schmidt is de
scribed as having a quiet manner and
simple way of expressing himself in or
nate language. Ho talks with a cialm air
of conviction, and seems to have believed
completely In himself. He Is now In Jail,
awaiting examination".
RUSTICATION OF CADETS.
Agrltntlon on the Subject Gathers In
fluential Supporter.
LONDON, July 12. To the dismay of
the Government, the agitation on the
subject of "rustication" of tho Sandhurst
cadets, who were suspected by their su
periors of being concerned In the recent
Incendiary fires at the military college,
dally gathers more influential supporters.
Winston Spencer Churchill and Lord
Hugh Cecil have now enlisted Lord Rose
bery, 'the Duke of Northumberland and
hundreds of other prominent men. regard
less of party, in their endeavors to see
that Justice is done to the 29 "rusticated"
cadets. The entire Ministry Is In a
dilemma, and Lord Roberts has lost more
of his wanning popularity. Next week
the question is to be the subject of ' a
heated debate in the House of Commons.
The underlying motive In the movement
in behalf of the cadets Is the universal
desire to probe the War Office Inefficiency
and to make Sandhurst a fit place to train
British soldiers, or, as It is frequently
said here, to put It on a par with West
Point, whose system, the army reformers
declare, Is without equal.
Herr Dallln's Reputation Increased.
BERLIN, July 12. The reputation In
Germahy of Albert Ballln, director-general
of tho Hamburg-American Line, has been
Immensely Increased by tho alliance- with
J. P. Morgan. The marks of Emperor
William's favor have brought him Into
social, and even political, prominence.
One of the latest stories Is that the Im
perial Chancellor, Count von Bulow, when
conversing with Emperor William about
Herr Ballln, remarked, "There Is stuff In
him for a Minister."
Tho Emperor, tapping Count von Bulow
on the arm. Is said to have asked with a
teasing smile, "Why not for a Chancel

The letter eaysi
"I beg to advise you that July 4, Vlce
Governor Wright, Acting "Governor of tho
Philippines, was requested to report by
cable the facts bearing upon the charge
that recently has been extensively circu
lated, that officials in the positions of the
public school service In the Philippines
have ben used for proselyting purposes,
and with special reference to an article
that had Just appeared in the Catholic
Time. ,
"The following dispatch ha3 now been
received from Manila from Governor
Wright:
" Seetary of War, Washington Refer
ring toVthe telegram from your office of
the 6th 1nst: The charges made by the
Catholic Times are unfounded in every
ewentlal particular. It Is untruo that
nearly all American teachers are Protest
ant preachers and proselyters. The fact Is,
one division superintendent was a preach
er In the United States a short time; then
he became a teacher. Possibly there are
two or three similar Instances among the
teachers. Bryan, head of the Normal
School, was never a clergyman and never
occupied a pulpit here or anywhere. There
are now two American Catholic teachers
In the -echo si ol Instruction (Normal
School), and five in the Manila city
schools. Thj native teachers In the city,
numbering HO. are ull Catholics. It is un
true that th' trachers of the Normal
Schools are proselyting and that school
will graduate only Protestants. It Is ex
ceptional that any graduate Is other than
Catholic
" 'It is untrue that the Filipino Is taught
that Protestantism brings enlightenment
and Catholicism Ignorance. There Is no
reason to suppose that Stone, the super
intendent, and Oliver, the principal of
the Manila schools, are bigoted or antl
Catholic. Both deny It, as the?" do also
tho statement f.hat graduates of the
Catholic University have been refused a
place In Manila and are sent Into' the wild
erness. The private secretary of Com
missioner Moses is a Catholic; also the
private secretary of Atkinson, General
Superintendent of Public Instruction; also
three division superintendents.
" 'I have shown your cable to Rev. Will
lam D. McKInnon. a Catholic priest, a
member of the advisory board of general
Instruction, who confirmo the statement
of facts made by mo above. The law to
Inaugurate a public school system forbids
religious Instruction in the schools or
school buildings by teachers, but allows
the same three days per week in school
buildings, by priests or preachers, oat of
school hours, on request of parents. (See
section 16. act 74.) This Is Intended as a
concession to Catholic sentiment.
" There are about 34,000 native teachers
In the Islands, all of whom are Catholics.
Teachers are selected without reference to
religion, ana are not allowed to preach or
teach religion In school. There Is no
prejudice against Catholic teachers.
" 'WRIGHT.'
"It Is the purpose of tho Philippine gov
ernment to maintain in the archipelago
the same kind of free nonsectarlan In
struction which exists in the United
States, and which has proved to be for
the Interest of the Catholic religion and
all religions, The government means, so
far as It possibly can", to give education
to tho people o( the Islands, and It will
do this without discrimination for or
against any church or sect. It does not
mean that any officer or teacher of the
public school system shall use his position
to build up or pull down any church what
ever, whether Catholic or Protestant."

want to get cured this Is the way to do It:
Get a battle of Peruna and take a tab'.e
spoo'nful between each meal and at bed

20 days, sit down and, write a letter to
Dr. Hartman, Columbus, O. Tell him ex
actly your symptoms; how long you have
had catarrh; what effect the medicine has
had on you. He will answer your letter
prdmptly, telling you what to do further.
He will make no chnrge. And If you will
continue to write to the doctor you are
Bure to get cured. Some cases tako longer
than others. Perhaps the average length
of time It takes to cure a genuine case

cured much quicker than this. Stubborn
cases may require longer treatment. Time
