In his order the President recalls the facts that Washingtoh and Lincoln in times of war omitted the week- day ceremonies and duties on Sunday, and he thinks that if this plan was carried out suc- cessfully during such times it can very well be- come a practice in times of peace. “He states further that be wants the soldiers to have Sun- day ay a day of rest.

This occupation is now entirely gone, and they have but little means, I doubt. There are from twenty to twenty-five coal boats stranded between Georgetown and the Chain bridge. The boatmen and their families on these boats -are all suffering more or less, and ought not to be overlooked by the good people of the Dis- trict, Pinuise. eR THE CITY POST-OFFICE. Proposals for Lease of a Suitable Build- ing to be Advertised For. The city post-office commission have decided to advertise for proposals for the lease of a suitable building for the use of the post-office, The first floor is to have space not less than 8,000 square feet, and the building must be cen- trally located. The purpose of the commis- sion is to ascertain whether there is any place in the city which can be leased. The commis sion will not meet again until after June 18, at which time all the proposals are to be consid- ered. WHAT MISS BARTON SAW. Her Account of the Ked Cross Work at Johnstown. Mr. A. 8. Solomons, vice-president of the Nationol Red Cross association, has received a letter from Miss Clara Barton, who went to Johnstown with the Red Cross party from this city. in which she says, under date of June 6: “The Philadelphia Red Cross followed us in two hours, They have a splendid corps of physicians and helpers, and together we are establishing our headquarters and hospitals, The accounts which you read are probably not overrated; indeed, 1 do not know how they could be.

Groceries and provisions are most welcome and house- hold erticles are all gone, and the people seem too dazed to realize their loss either of prop- erty or friends—they will wake up to this later.” i DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, THE DISTRICT PRINTING. Mr. W. F. Koberts, superintendent of the Law Reporter company, cailed upon the commis- sioncrs this morning for the purpose of ascer- taining whether the District printing is to be confined to District bidders or not. Commis- sioner Douglass informed him that the Com- missioners had considered the matter and their interpretation of the law was that as it re- wired advertisements in three District papers the contract should be confined to District printers. SWEPT AWAY BY THE FLOOD. The recent high water in the Potomac washed away all obstructions on the line of 27th street from thegas works to the river bank, Capt. Symons, in a letter to the Com- missioners, suggests that the police be notified to prevent the rebuilding of any of this prop- erty lying along the river front.

Jouxstowy, Pa., June 10.—Another wet and close morning in this valley. When day broke the scene was dismal to a depressing degree, a penetrating drizzle came down and made everything wet and slippery. The thousands of men moved to their places of work with a half unwilling manner that argued poorly for a heavy day's work, When the whistle of the Cambria shops sounded at 7 o'clock this. morn- ing, the whole place was awake and the smoke from the many camp fires and burning debris made a heavy cloud that rested over the entire valley, almost hiding it from view from the hills, Soon the entire valley was alive with its thousands of busy workmen, and the tenth day of work on this vast undertaking was begun, There is little change in the gen- eral situation here to-day, and all the various departments are moving along in a manner highly satisfactory to the parties in charge. The stopping of work by the Cambria company yesterday gave their men a much-needed rest, and they went to work with much more vigor than the men employed on the general work. ‘The same large crowds were on hand for their daily rations, and the various commissary sta- tions were the scene of great activity. THE GREAT QUANTITIES OF DEBRIS which has been loosened from above the stone bridge and floated down stream have formed a gorge opposite Cambria City, and a number of men were sent there to-day to remove this as itclosed the channel, stopping the flow of water and rendering very difficult the work of removing the wreckage at the stone bridge. Another consignment of stationary engines arrived to-day, making tem in all how here. ‘These are most useful appliances and do the work of 20 men in removing the heavy timbers. They were placed in various sections of the town and did most effective work. One was put in ion on the stone bridge, and in two nics te WOek accomplished by it was more effective than the work of one hundred men for the last two days, Some heavy timbers that have defied the efforts of the men to remove were soon gotten rid of and the channel opened for a considerable distance from the bridge. ‘The erection of a dynamo by the Westinghouse Electric company near the Peansylvania rail- road freight depot is a most necessary work and any one who has tramped around in the dark will appreciate the lighting of the town last night. In fact every means of convenience and appliance for speeding the work is being used here, and each day sees more work accom- plished than the day befor ‘THE VISIT OF GOV. BEAVER to this section yesterday has given renewed hopes to the stricken people, and on all sides the action taken yesterday is being favorably commented on. All agree in sayiug the action taken yesterday was most proper, and will re- sult in great good to the people in this section and stimulate them. That this action might have taken place sooner all admit, but now that it has been done unfavorable comments on the movements of the governor have given place to « hearty recommendation of the pro- posed course, and all isharmony. There is good and renewed hope for the future ot this ‘The prompt and effective action by the governor when he arrived impressed every one favorably, and especially the Pittsbarg relief . Whose representatives went home well pleased to be relieved of the work of re- moving the debris and restoring order, leaving to them the accomplishment of the one great object—the reliet of the sufferers, About 9 o'clock the down-pour became so heavy that it seriously interfered with the work and the men were called from the work to some place of shelter; but as soon as the rain became less heavy all went to work again, Ar- rangements have been made by which a much- needed supply of fresh meat will be furnished, a A TERRIFIC WIND-STORM | Visits Central New York—Serious Dam- age, but No Loss of Life.

Ixpranapotis, June 10.—Advices from all parts of the state indicate great damage from the rains of the past week, both to growing crops and to property situated along the water courses, The river here is out of its banks and has done great damage to fencing all along its course. Fields of corn, wheat and oats have n entirely washed out, and others have been greatly damaged along the Sangamon river, In White and other counties the rere are all covered with water, — = | dreds of acres of growing crops are submerge: | Many families have fled to the highlands for | safety. Clay county has suffered greatly, many | of the farm houses’ being partly under water, Several of the mines are flooded, and a section of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad is washed out. A gentleman who returned yes- terday from the Ohio river reports that the | stream is very high and is rising rapidly, and | that a large amount of wreckage from Johns- town is being brought down.

Cutcaco, June 10.—The police are very close to the man who murdered Dr. Cronin. Capt. Schleutter admitted this much last night and Chief Hubbard confirmed the statement. From the clues that have been furnished them they have marked out a web of circumstantial evi- dence which will sooner or later ensnare every principal in the edy.

Captain Schleuter said last night that if his officers could | acertain man he would make several arrests before daylight. i] “WHAT LUKE DILLON Sars, i Directly after the receipt of important infor- | mation by wire, at 9 o'clock last evening Mr& Luke Dillon, secretary of the Clan-na-Gael ex- ecutive, said: “We will have the murderers of Dr. Cronin before two weeks have gone by, just as sure as | I sit here.” | Mr. Dillon indicated that his detectives in an | eastern city are all within reach of the foul | murderer, and that his arrest will probably be the event of the next forty-eight hours, though it may be the matter of two weeks, “THE MURDERERS CANNOT ESCAPE,” went on Mr. Dillon “There are 15,000 loyal members of the United Brotherhood in this country—15,000 men who will act under my in- | structions and who are alert and resolved to apprehend the murderers. They cannot es- We are employing the most acute de tectives in the country, and our agen’ work in every city in the United State “What do you think of Patrick Egan's con- nection with this case?” EGAN HAD NO GUILTY CONNECTION. “I am satisfied that he has no guilty connec- tion with it, The only way I see he is brought into it is by the explanation of Lawyer Trude | for Alexander Sullivan, in which he says that the $100,000 depoxited at the Traders’ bank | was given him m trust by Egan.” | Continuing, Mr. Dillon expressed the belief that Mr. Egan did not give the money to Sulli- van, but that the $100.000 was stolen from the funds of the United Brotherhood. Mr. Dillon said that nothing needed to be more clearly proven to the world than that the United Brotherhood, as a society, was im no wise responsible for the great crime. ‘The crime was planned by an able villain, | andifany of the instruments in its doing thought they were serving the society they were deceived.” BEGGS EXPELLED FROM CAMP No, 20, Jobn F. Beggs, the senior guardian of Camp 96, now called Camp 20, of the U. B., the friend | of Alexander Sullivan and the comrade of | Lawrence Buckley in the journey east about | the time of Dr. Cronin’s murder, was expelled | from his camp Friday night. Since Dr. Cronin’s murder there has been no regular wieeting of the camp. Beggs. as suior | guardian, has pretended te call the camp to- gether, thongh he never summoned anf one except his friends, A majority of the mem- of the camp held a mecting Friday night in one of the rooms of the north side Turner bull and in the most formal manner, after com- plying with all the rules of the order govern- ing expulsion, expelled Beggs from the camp. At a meeting of the Irish-American Republi- canclub Saturday night Beggs was removed from the presidency of the club and expelled from membershij The Board of Erin of the Ancient Order of Hibernians held a meeting yesterday, adopted resolutions in memory of Dr. Cronin and called upon the branches of the order to contribute to the fund for the detection of the murderers. Had Nothing to do with Egan. In a letter to the Inter-Ucean published this morning Jobn F, Scanlon says: “Please permit me to say that your Washingfon correspondent must have been a victim of some fair romancer as far as facts are concerned, when he state that my late visit to that city was for the p pose of having the President recall Patr Egan. My visit to Washington was on purely private business, and Mr. Egan's uame was not mentioned by me nor by the President during my interview AN IMPORTANT ARREST TO BE MADE. There will be an arrest in New York to-day in connection with the Cronin butchery, The man who will be taken into custody is a prom- inent Irishman, but his name the authorities refuse *o divulge. The arrest will be a sur- prise to many and will lead to several other arrests. Luke Dillon is responsible for the statement that one of the alleged conspirators is to be placed behind the bars to-day, and Chief Hubbard says that the man Mr. Dillon speaks of is in New York and will be arrested there. | | | — A SUNDAY-SCHOOL THIEF.
