o'clocitj The events of the day previous
consisted of clialloniws from nonunion mon
nt the I'rlsco unit Gem mine * to the union
miners nt the town of Gem , und all seemed
to Indicate a speedy rupture , lloth the Gem

Burke. When opposite the Frisco mine ho
was llrcd upon. Ho ran bacu several hun
dred yards to Gem , where tbo shot hail bcou
Heard and soon the minors in the town
gathered with arms. ' .I hey marched in n
body toward the Frisco mill , located directly
in front of the mine.Vlnn seatcely within
rillo r.ingo a volley from the Frisco mill
greeted the miners nnd lead whistled nil
about them. Tliov scattered nnd a regular
Uittlo ensued. Ono minor and ono nonunion
- man were killed uud six wounded during the
engagement.
The miners In the meantime went around
the hills up the canyon above the ininos ,
loaded a car with 7f > 0 pounds of giant powder
nnd sent the car down the track toward the
Frisco mine. Directly in front of the mill
an explosion occurred , shattering the mill
und muklni ; it n complete wreck. The non-
ulilon men then showed n white Hag and sur

Whllo the light was going on nt Frisco the
Gem guards suddenly began firing volley
nftnr volley into the town of Gam , riddling
the buildings with bullc-ts. John Wurii , n
citizen , was shot through the arm , nnd Gus
Carltson , a union miner , was shot and killed.
Attempts to recover Carloson's bodv were
mot with vollo.vs from the Gem breastworks
nnd when the body was recovered nn hour
afiorwnrdi , it was lifeless , another bullet
having boon sent through tbo breast. No
shot * were returned from Gem until the
armed miners from Frisco , half a mile above
Gem , returned.
At S o'clock n trnco was arranged and the
3I
sheriff , djstrlct attorney and doput > United I
States marshals appeared on the scone. The
train was stopped by armed guards nt the
Gam'mluo. The sheriff took the mail on his
chouidnrs and passed on to Gem. The
guards leveled their rilles at , him , but
dropped them when they learned his duly.
At Gem several hundred men were huddled
In the street with rillos and revolvers. No-
pollutions wore Immediately set on foot and

nonunion minors wcro killed In the Frisco
mill , when that structure was destroyed
with dyuamlto this morning. It Is im
possible as yut to obtain continuation of tbo
report ,
C'aiiHu of tliu Strike.
The cause of the strlKo was the demand of
the union ir.lnen of the district for ( 'l.flu
par day for every man working under
ground. The mine owners held that un
skilled laborers should be paid only (3.
When the miners refused to accept the
scale , the mines were closed. Thoownois
declared oxce ivo freight rates were tbo
ruuso of the reduction.
The lockout was bjgun April 1 by the
Mine Ownora association , nnd 11,000 union
miners wcro thrown out of work. Since
then Iho mine owners have boon making u
struggle to run tboir mines with nonunion
luou und cunrds. The tension bin boon
gient for months and the opinion has pre
vailed that only a spark was needed to start
the flumes of riot. Tno examples nt Homo-

D , Pa. , July II. The effect of
ho governor's proclamation calling out the
tale mllltla for service here is marked. The
ncti who Imvo boon In conlrol of this toivn
Inco last Wednesday rccognizo that tholr
rulgn Is ovor. For the most part the raon
conllncd thomselvcs to the houses this morn-
tig. Tbero was little loud talk ou tbo
streets.
The mandate of the leaders that the mill-
In must not bo opposed , but rect-lved in n
'riendly spirit , has gone out , and all except a
'cw "mouth fighters' " are ready to ncqulosco
n the decision. Tbo loaders rocognlzo that
t Is Impossible for the workmen to buott
ncalnst the state of Pennsylvania with the
Jutted States Dae It of it , if worst
comes to worst. They expect the
nilltia to retire after putting Carnegie
n possession of the mill , and then with onlv
.no sheriff In the way tboy count on bointr
able to drive out any nonunion men sent
hero.
A committee of the Amalgamatpd associa
tion has been appointed to go to Plltsburg at
once and entreat Frlck of Iho Carnegie com-
[ iiiny lo consent lo so.nc mclhoJ of adjust
ment of the differences.
Some ovcltomont was created this nftor-
nocn by the report that the authorities of
Homestead would request General Snowdon ,
commanner of the militia , lo coutlno the
operations ot troops strictly to thu Carnuglo
works and lonvo ibo preservation of
order iu the town entirely In the
tiands of the local authorities , consisting of
Iho burtrcss , chief of potlco and chief of tbo
tbo llro department. They claim that as the
Carnegie milts nro outside of the Homestead
limits and tbo hostilities of last week were
confined to Ibo mills , there Is no pretext for
the occupancy of the town by the military.
Ills generally bollovedbovvovorthat General
Snowden will place the works and the town
both under martial law.
Among the excited reports abroad this
afternoon was ono that tbo first things Gen
eral Suoivdon will do will bo to make a house
lo house search for arms and ammunition.
When the mllltla arrives It will bo
met by four brass- bands , all tbo school

HoMi8Tiii > , Pa. , July 11. The white
wings of paaco are hovering ever the city of
Homestead tonight , and tbero Is not an un
pleasant indication to mar the serenity of
ttio region. The militia is to bo received
with open arms by the mill workers , and a
special police force , 100 strong , has been se
lected from the ranks of the striker.s thorn-
selves to S''O that no Indignities are offered
the troops of thu state by , any of the hot
headed workmen. Tlio olllcaey of this po
licy was demonstrated within half an hour
after tbo adjournment of the mass meeting
this afternoon by the prompt arrest and
escort to the locicup of an Intemperate
striker who questioned the wisdom
of receiving the militia as friends and
brothers and killing the fatted -calf in
their honor. The power of organization was
novrr bolter OAemplilled than In the grace
ful unanimity with which tbo Iron workers
this afternoon accepted tno suggestions of
their leadois and decided that tbo troops
should bo received as friends and not ns foes
and that , In contrast with the reception to
the hated Pinkertons , tne militia should bo
welcomed by the triumphant blast of trum
pets and the music of bands ,
Tin * UrltU in I'uKiuil.
To all but the pa slmUt the conclusion Is
irresistubio that the crisis ii passed , mid that
Ho i cstcud will know hostilities no more so
long as the military of the stnto Is on the
ground , ana tlu-ro IB no attempt to smuggle
the PinkertoiiH Into tl.o works. Most people
ple havu concluded that the Pinkcrtous have
satiated their warlike spirit and are not
likely to provoke further bloodshed by at
tempting to occupy the works. Indeed , the
strikers regard thu advent of the troops as
the surest Indication that Pinkortons will
nvado Homestead no more , and much of the
success of today's mooting was duo to the
belief that the state militlu was ordered to
Homestead as much to prevent the blood-
sjed that the Pinkurlons would provoke In
another visit , as to quiet theprojoutdlsorder
n the iron region.
The mass mooting at liomostoad this after
noon was it mobt significant ono and its de
velopments were awaited with Interest' by
the citizens on the outsido. The mooting
WHS attended by about . " > , UOO people and In Its
number was about overv ono of the number
who shouldcied a musket and fought tbo
Pliikorlons in the bloody battle of lust week.

ANTI-OPTION IN THE SENATE
Mr. Washbura Givei Rusjns Why the
Bill Should Pass.
QUAY AND SUNDAY CLOSING OF THE FAIR
Arguments Tor nml AgitliHt the Moxemcnt
Thu Army Appropriation Illli In the
liouso What tht ) Mixer .Men are
Doing \Vimlilticton Notes.
WtBiiixtiTov , D. C. , July 11. The two
principal questions before the senate today
wcro the bouso und anti-options bills nml Mr.
Cjjuy's amendment to the appropriation for
the Columbian exposition , making It de
pendent upon thu closing of the exposition
on Sunday.
On the first question , Mr. Washburn occu
pied the attention of the senata for moro
than two UOUM with an elaborate argument
iu favor of the bill.
Mr. Quay's amendment , roqjlring the
Columbian exposition to be closed on Sun
day , provoked n discussion which lasted two
hours and a half , and was not llulshcd when
the senate adjourned.
WuHlihiirii'H Anil-Opt Inn Tnlk.
Mr. Wash burn In bis speech said the nntl-
optlons bill was not directed against legitimate
trade , but against that gigantic modern In
vention known ns ' short soiling" of agri
cultural products of the country. That was
a system , ho said , which robbed the producer
and filled tie ) pocket of tbo parasite. At
least OJ per cci.t of all the business of the
produce exchanges and boards of trade In the
United States was of a Ilc'.ltlous character ,
where property was sold without ownership
nnd without liny intention of delivery on the
part of the sailer or the buyer. Iu Chicago
at least ' . ( " > per cent was of that fictitious
character prices being fixed without ropard
to the law of supply and demand. Ho made
tbo broad statement that the prices of agri
cultural products of'tho country were mudo
artificially and arbitrarily nn the bnirds ol
trndo , most notably on the Hoard of Tiudo In
Chicago , ncd lhai , too , without the slightest
regard to the law of supplv and demand , or
any natural condition \vhulovcr.
If Chicago mudo the price on'y ' for the
wheat which reached its own innrkot no
harm would bo done , but when It depressed
the prices of tbo wbnat product of the \\holo
country the system bccamb absolutely un
bearable. Ho dismissed as Illogical , absurd
and devoid of common senr.o tbo objections
made to the bill that it would Interfere with
regular business. As to \argument
against it , made in the nature of\ throat ,
that If this svstom of gambling in futures
were q'lulcbed in tbo United States opera
tors would transfer their business to Canada ,
Mr.Vushburn said there was no class of
cltl/ons who could bo better spared than tbo
adventurers wno haunted the exchange , and
1m would s.a > to them , "Stand not on the
order of your going , but go at once. " Mr.
Wushburu closed by answering objections
made to the bill on constitutional grounds.
Minilay Cloning IIUoiiHSi'il.
Tbo sonntu then resumed consideration of
the sundry civil bill , the pending question
boinc on the committee's amendment as to
the Columbian exposition , nnd Mr. Quay's
amendment to It , requiring the exposition to
be closed on the Sabbath day.
Mr. Mandowon thought that some portions
tions of the exhibition should bo opened on
Kum1njr1 > Ho saw no objection to opening
the grounds so that panplo might gather
there und bo instructed as well as inter
ested. Ho would , however , offer an amend
ment to have the mechanical portion of tbo
exposition closed on Sunday.
Mr. Quuv modified his amendment by
making It read : "Tho first d y of the
week , commonly called Sunday. "
Mr. Palmer argued against Mr. Quav's
amendment. He t-ald that bo thought it
wohld bo a coed thing to shut up the whole
pcoploof Chicago in the exposition buildings
on Sunday so that they might spand it moro
Innocently than if they wcro loft at largo.
Mr. Vest gave notice of an amendment
which ho would offer us juostltute for Mr.
Quay's amendment , requiring that there
snail bo an entire cessation on Sunday of all
1'ibor except such services n.s should bo
absolutely necessary for the mumgomont ol
the exposition and allowing no machinery to
bi ! operated , requiring alto tbo provision of
a hull ny the commission for roilgious ser
vices , the commission to Invite thu various
religious denominations In tbo United States
to hold such exercises in said hall on every
Sunday.
Mr. Cullom spoke in favor of dclav of tbo
subject of closing tbo exposition on Sundays ,
so as to give the commission opportunity to
settle the question.
Mr. Huwluy urguod in favor of Mr. Quay's
amendment.
Without action on tbo amendment the
senate adjourned.

of tno government troops the Insurgents re
tired lo the mountains to n spot which com
manded n village. A slight skirmish oc
curred in which forty men were killed or
wounded on both sides. The govern
ment has since been claiming n
victory for Its sulo. Tloro was intense on-
