Johnstown, Pa., July 12. Johns town has again boon visited by an ap palling disaster, only loss frightful than tho nwtul calamity ot May 31, 1889, in cost ot life. A terrible ex plosion took place In tho Cambria Steel Company's Rolling Mill mine, under Weatmont hill, early yesterday alter noon, and how many aro dead will take several days fully to determine. That It la a long and shocking Hit that may reach 200 or more men Is fully bo Moved. It was an hour after tho explosion botow any general knowledge ot what had happened go. abroad. Men who camo from tho mine, escaping witli their lives, told tho terrible nows, and soon it spread llko wildfire all over tho city. In Korea ot homos there wero most pathetic scones. Mothers, wives, daughters, sons and relatives woro frantic with grlof, and hundreds rushed to tho eceno. At tho opening across tho river from tlio point tho Cambria Iron company police, with several assistants, stood guard, permit ting no ono to enter the in I no, from which noxious gases woro coming. It was nearly 4 o'clock when all hope ot sending rescue partlos from the Westmont opening was abandou'od. Two men who had escaped wont back two-miles to seo what asslstano could bo rendered, but tho frightful damp drove them back, and thoy toll pron- trato when thoy finally, after n despcr- nto struggle, reached tho outsldo. Two doctors gave them assistance, and. aftor working with them half an hour, re stored thorn.

The charitable societies and city officials aro becoming better organized, and It is believed tho wants will bo generally met. The smallpox hospital and the city hall and jail havo been filled with cots. These can accomodate but a small portion ot those who need shelter, honever. Neithor tho Itos Moines nor tho Racoon rivers have rorrded mueh. Tho net decline ainco the hlghott point was reached, yesterday, is but two or three inches, and Urn' Des 'Moines actually rose hall an inch during tho night. It is believed tho situation in tho flooded district cannot be materially re lieved lor several days, and when the water finally reaches its former chan net an epidemic of malaria and typhoid lover win prevail. An estimato of tho damago at till timo is practically impossible. It expected to reach (1.000,000. The city council and tho county sup ervisors, acting jointly, have establish ed a supply depot at which the flood sullerers received food upon orders signed by the aldermen of their'respect- lve warns. The Great Western and Keokuk Western roundhouses are completely submerged, and neither road can cros tho river, owing to washouts and tho destruction of bridges.

Undor tho policy to bo followed of first building modest Irrigation works, It Is quite probablo that a alto In ono of those two states will bo selected for early con struction, expeclally iih Mr. Newell Is of tho opinion that tho Oregon delega tion did much to fuithor tho lutorosts ot tho Irrigation hill. Tho common dcslro of mombers ot congre.i from tho Western states Is that tho secretary ot the Interior shall carry out tho provisions ot tho new irrjgntlon law with only such haute as Is safu and In such n way as to placo tho great est k area ot reclaimed lands in tho hands of settlors in the shortest time, It teems to bo tlio prevalent belief that the best results will bo obtained if the eovernmoiit first undertakes tho con struction of medium sited irrigation projects, at a moderate cost, each In itself reclaiming n modest area uf land, capable, undor irrigation, of producing cropi of tho first order. Suggestions of this sort were mado to tho depnrtment by many senotors and representatives just before they left Washington for the summer.

He Is, there fore, obliged to depeml largely uixm tho recommendations of tils subordin ates The suggestions ot Superintend ent Walcott, ot the geological survey, and of Chief Hydrcgraphor Newell aro given every consideration, There Is much data of a gonornl character now available but tlioro are no reports of eutficluut detail to warrant tho secre tary In adopting or rejecting tlio sites heretofore oxamlned.
