John Schcr and Yasante Slholla died at the Cambria Ueneral hospital Sunday morning. These deaths raise tho total fatalities to 114. All the churches of Johnstown paid more or less attention in their morn ing services to tho disaster. Collec tions worn taken up for the benetlt of tho families of the poorer victims, Special massrs were said in the Cath olic churches. The afternoon was do- vuted to funerals. According to the most reliable data there are fit widows and 138 children. Of this number there are five widows anil IS children living In the old coun try. Five of the widows are brides of a few mouths and eight widows and 21 children are survivors of American on;ples of tlio mine who are nura bered among the dead. Tl'ere aie a number of the dead foreigners who were comparatively new comers to the country and to Johnstown who are believed to have wlvi-s and children In the old country and who were expecting to have them come over here when they had earned sufficient money to pay for their pas sage. Some of tho young men who were unmarried were also known to be the so'e support of mothers and sisters who could well be numbered among the helpless enough to be looked after.

Prcllminaiy returns to tho statls tlclan of the 1'nlted States depart ment of agriculture on tho acreage of corn planted Indicate an in crease of about 3.520,000 acres, or 3.9 per cent on the area harvest last year. Tho avoniKO condition of the growing crop on July 1 was 87.5, as compared with 81.3 July 1, libil, and a 10-year average of 89.2. The condition in II linols was 91, In Iowa and Nebraska and Indiana 90, in Kansas and Ok lahoma 99, In Missouri 102. The average condition of winter wheat Improved dining Juno nlno- tenths of 1 per cent, standing on July 1 at i7, or 11.3 points below tho con dition on July 1, r.inl. and 2.4 points below the 10-year average. The average condition of spring wheat declined ,1 points during June, landing at 92.4 on July 1, as com pared with 9.Y0 on July 1, 1901, and a 10-year averago of 8.I.8. The condition of spring and winter wheat ccmbined on July 1 was 82.9, as compared with 91.1 on July 1, 1901. The amount of wheat remaining In tlio hands of farmers an July 1 Is es timated at about. G2,440,000 bushels. or 7 per cfnt of the crop of last year. The uveiage condition of the oat crop on July 1 was 92.1, as compared with 83.7 on July 1, 1901, and a 10 year aveiage of 87.3. Tho average condition of barley Is 93.7 against 91.3 on July 1. 1901, and a 10-year average of 87.1. In New York Improvement amounting to 1 point la noted.

For tin days it haj maintained a price so high it sets all board of tiade lib as topsy -tin vey. In 3' years sai-h a relation has only twice occurred, and neither time did It last longer than a few minutes. The situation l one of the womli rs of the iiiimIitii 1 oiiimercial world. Tli? coiner in com that l now draw ing to a close is beyond any compari son the biggest ever known for the amount of money that is in it. Never befoie, however, has such an Immense wealth been owned by a sin gle pool of g.jln speculators. Never before bave operations been carried on with such complete security and confidence. Compared with the pres ent deal that of Joseph Loiter In wheat was retail trade. Compared with the finances of the present hull pool those of the deposed "corn king," Phillips, of last year were as pin money to bank accounts. Twenty million bushels of corn have been bought by the ring for delivery to It during the present month. And in the first 10 days of the month only 4.000,000 bushels of that amount has been turned over, although the Bhorts ore straining every effort to get corn corn, corn, and Bave themselves from ruin. Sixteen more business days re main in the month, and during that time 16.0oo.ooo bushels of corn of contract grade mtiRt be brought to Chicago and delivered, or else tho pen alty must he paid. And in the last forty days the men of the pixd have been relentlessly, per sistently forcing up the price of corn. They have sent it up 30 cents in forty days. They have made prices Jump so that even hardened operators call It a wicked deal." Here are the figures of the top prices touched on the swells of the movement: June 2. GOV; June 28. 72c; July 1, 7Sc; July 8. 90c; July 12 (In between jumps) gfic. Report of Trade Conditions. llradstreet's says of trade: Warmer and more settled weather In many sections has helped season able trade and mado it possible to as certain that the earlier reports of grain crop damage from rains were rather exaggerated. While the hesi tation in some lines of distributive trade induced by the cool, backward weather has not entirely disappeared, there is a disposition to regard the situation, particularly fur the fall Boa son, as more assured than previously. The strength of food prices, particu larly of cereals and meats, is based on nonll Immediate available supplies rather than fears of possible future Bhollagr. Except for wheat, highest prlceg paid for 10 to 20 years past at this time are being paid.

Notwithstanding belief that Tracy is on the verge of collapse, as the re sult of bin kshot wounds and Illness resulting from exposure in the wet brush, he manages to keep hidden from the officers. Vigilance had been redoubled and the encircling cordon about the district where It was al most certain the man was hidden. wa stronger than ever. deputies scoured the neighborhood, but beyond discredited reports of the convict's ap pearance near Emimcla, nothing was heard of him. The sheriffs are con vinced that the convict is within the territory guarded by the deputies and possemen. Tenth Week of Coat Strike. The loth week of tho anthracite min ers' strike may witness the crisis. Everything now depends on the na tional convention which meets at In dianapolis Thursday. If the conven tion votes Bolid support to the hard coal miners now on strike the conflict witli the operators may he prolonged Indefinitely. On the other hand should substan tial support not be forthcoming it may have a discouraging effect on the strikers and the operators taking ad vantage of it, may attempt to resume operations at some of the collieries. This is tho consensus of opinion as expressed In operators and striker cir cles. Sheriff Jacobs reports that the whole region Is unusually quiet. Louis Disbrow Held For Trial. Upon completion of evidence in the proceedings before Police Justice Fos ter, against Louis Disbrow for murder of Clarence Foster and Miss Lawrence at Good Ground, Ixing Island, the court said that the circumstances ccs of the case all pointed in one di rection and while the evidence was not very strong there were things which had to be explained and he then announced that the prisoner wai held for the grand Jury. Tho decision was followed by an outburst of applause in the court room. Disbrow appeared unmoved. Fair Will Close Sundaya. The St. Louis board of directors of the Louisiana Purchase exposi tion bave adopted a resolution that during the whole duration of the ex position the gates shall be closed to visitors on Sundays.

Republican. TIONESTA. PA., WEDNESDAY. JULY 10. 1902. GREETED NEW PREMIER Chancellor of the Exchequer Has Resigned. Hon. R. W. Hanbury Will Probably Succeed Sir Michael Hicks-Beach No Serious Anticipation of a Gen eral Election Mr. Balfour Still Leader In the Commons. London, July 15. A. J. Balfour was yesterday formally greeted as Great Britain's premier and the new regime began Its work. The momentous change wa3 marked by only one really dramatic incident, namely, the resig nation of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach from his post of chancellor of the ex chequer. Yet this lack of outward show and public prelude to a new chapter In English history is by no means ren- resenative of the disturbance which the sudden transition created among the undercurrents of political life. It is safe to say that Sir Michael Hicks Beach is only the first of several whose names have figured largely be fore the public in the last half con tury who now will disappear from the political arena. Nothing absolutely definite is yet settled but the Unionist party ex pects shortly to hear of tho resigna tions of Earl Halsbury, lord high chancellor; Lord James of Hereford, chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, and Earl Cadogan, lord lieutenant of Ireland. For Sir Michael Hieks-Beach's place night Hon. U. W. Hanbury, now presi dent of the board of agriculture, Is the favorite, lu the pending reconstruct tlon, which may not be completed for Bome time to come, Mr. Balfour, much to the delight of the Unionists, will re main the leader In the house of com mons and first lord of the treasury, with Mr. Chamberlain still in command of the colonies as his first lieutenant. If Earl Halsbury on account of his great age fulfils predictions by retir ing, Baron Alverstone will succeed to the woolsack, Sir Richard Henn Col lins becoming lord chief Justice, Sir E. If. Finlay succeeding him as master of the rolls; Sir E. H. Carson, now so licitor general, becoming attorney gen eral, and probably Charles Alfred Crlpps, attorney general to the prince of Wales, succeeding to the solicitor generalship. On one point the members of the house of common?, who throughout the day animatedly discussed the new state of affairs, seemed practically unanimous and that was that Austen Chamberlain, financial secretary to the treasury, would be promoted, a ma jority mentioning him as likely to suc ceed Mr. Hanbury should the latter take the chancellorship of the ex chequer. Friends of Mr. Balfour also said he was certain to require the advice in his cabinet councils of his great friend. George Wymlham, now chief secre tary for Ireland. There is no little gossip concerning some changes in tho position of Lord George Hamilton, now secretary of state for India, one wellknown member of the house of commons saying he had henrd that Lord George Hamilton was among those who would throw up their portfolios. Lord Hamilton's brother-in-law. the Marquis of I.ansdowne, Is regarded ns certain to rpmaln In the foreign of fice, where he Is carrying out lines laid down by Lord Salisbury. There is apparently no serious an ticipation of a general election, though in some quarters it is thought the do- sire attributed to the king to havo a new parliament after his coronation might cause an appeal to the country, though tho new premier is not be lieved to see any neccs-ity therefor. Mr. Balfour's first appearance In the house of commons as premier was characteristic of the man and of the assembly. From the party meeting at the foreign office the members trooped over en bloc and shortly after 2 o'clock the house was packed. Both front benches were filled with minis ters and ex-ministers except for a vacant place opposite the maco, whore Mr. Balfour was such a familiar figure. Peers came into the strangers' gallery and leaned expectantly upon 10 rails. Amid a nervous, ceaseless chatter of questions which were ratt led through, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach sat gloomily among the colleagues he was to soon to leave. Suddenly the chatter ceased and there stole from behind tho speaker's chair the long thin flguro of the prime minister. From all sides of the house there rose a chorus of "Hear, Hear." The members rose and kept up the applause till Mr. Balfour, who sidled along the treasury bench, near ly falling over Sir Michael Hicks Beach's feet, reached his Beat and burled his head in a voluminous question paper. He was blushing like n school girl. Sir Henry Canipbell liannermtin. Ihe Liberal leader, plopped further business by making sm li feel ing personal reference to Mr. Hal four as is seldom heard in legislative bod ies, and which was delivered wllh an emotion that quite unnerved Ihe pre mier. When Mr. Balfour rose to reply the oval lor was renewed but his voice faltered a'ul ho was only just able hesitatingly to declare that he wai too overcome to find words of thanks. After Mr. Balfour's tribute to Lord Salisbury, which was universally commended for its tactful reserve, the house was emptied, the members gathering on the terrace and In Ihe lnh'iii'S. discussing the lniHirtant features that tho day had brought forth. I NEW CHINESE MINISTER. Urgent Needs of China Are Flnancia Readjustment, Railroads and Newspapers. Washington, July 15.

Will Either Vote to Extend the Strike or to Provide a Large Defense Fund. IndiannpollB, July 15.
