All is quiet on Iho Monongabela tonight. Stories about men taking their places In the mill , rumors about the desperate purposes of the strikers and reports about the preparations ot the military to quint refractories , are extant , but the fact remains that It has boon a most quiet Sunday. Up to 0 o'clock this eveninn iiono of the men had bnen Introduced through the Carnegie gates and , although it has been expected for tonight , nothing haslioen so far today. The new men are confidently expected be fore the formal opening of the works on Tuesday , but the strike loaders do not be lieve thit any of them will bo Introduced until after it'ls soon how many applications tiavo been made oy the old men. That some ot these will bo made Is quite certain. Some of the old employes bavo al ready interviewed the military about the protection which will be afforded to men going to work , and while the number of these asking the question has been very small , the Carneglo company sees in it a symptom of disintegration amone the locked out men which they hsll with genuine relief. Of course the visits to headquarters have been tpade secretly , as the great majority of Iho men are still strongly with the Amal gamated association. Will Not Work I'mler Ciiinnl. A mass meeting was held at the rink this morning , ot which about 40J ot the employes wcro present who represent the mechanical department nnd day laborers. These men lire not members of the Amalgamated associ ation , but they have been in sympathy with It. Some half a dozen speeches were made as to the poster put up by Mr. Frick Inviting the old men back to work , aurt niter some consideration the following resolution .vaa proposed and passed unaniraou.ly : \VhcrcHS.

This means that the fine repair work , Which was to have begun to morro.vvill not bo undertaken by the old men who will not " go back to work. and ' .hat now men will have to bu In ought in if the company intends to open the works on Thursday next , as all the furnaces are cold and much robui'dlngU1 ' have to bo done. It is simply a matter of impossibility to unicugli ; all the contradictory stories which uro being told about nil these new men. For Instance , a number of negroes arc expected from West Virginia and Alabama furnaces. A draft of eighty men is'said to bo coming from Ohio. The advisory committee has heard of efforts to enroll mechanics in Chicago and St. Louis , supposed to bo for the Carneglo company , but after nil tbo rumors are sifted down there Is no trutn tote to found ut the bottom of them nnd those correspondents who uio trying to send out the eul status of tbo case in Homestead are forced to depend only upon wcat they see with their own eves. A cuso in point ! > furnished by thJ rumor H rted this" morning that three boat loads of nonunion men hnd been dUetnbaiked into U.e works. Ono gentlemen saw these men FCing into the nulls and so reported , and yet the men are not known to have gone in a = > stated. Some of ttio pilgrims nre expected tonight , but the chances seem to be that they will not come. At acy rrito the advisory commil'co is not particularly vigilant this evening. The patrols nro of course con tinued , but Mr. Shannon llatly stated that ho Irnew no new men would be brought lu until Thursday. Slrllcrra Thoroughly Informed. He said : "Wo arc- not talking wildly when wo say that wo balievo wo know exactly what is to be the program of the Carnegie company. Their cflort Is to bo directed towards bringing back the old men , not to getting new oner , and they will exhaust all their methods of persuasion before they geoff off for the hlnck steep. We know thls"aud \ro know to win this tight till wo have to do is to keep our lines linn und let the company do wbiit they will. "Thoi cannot muko nickel for the armor plates without us. Tney cannot , except at greatly increased expense , do any of the ordinary worn of the mills.

A great deal of help bus been sent us by our friends who bo- llcvc lu the pn&ciplo we rep re * cut , and this wo will use to provide for the lanorers and the others who arc not members of our boJy , but who are affected by this conllict.

CJrcat caution was exercised to prevent the publication of these figures , bu' even with the mou tigiiaut watch the cost of raining a ton of basic , opn hearth , and-acid , open hearth , has been secured.

The statement then gives the 'igures which it says ore taken from the books of CarncirnPhipps & Co. to show the profit per ton.

With the market quo tations ut that Mma it is readily seen that the prolit to the Carnegie company per ton runs exactly f4. ! The figures on the basic open hearth vary but little ; the cost per ton , quoted spiling price , etc. , would net a proht of something like $10 a ton. Cost of l/.ilur Now Less. As previously stated , since then the mini mum basis nas drnpoed and doductioiis in all departments has made the co.t ot labor much lower. President William Woyho of the Amalga mated association was shown the Mgures and said : "According to the original agreement made in 1S !

WORKING ON APPROPRIATION BILLS When These Measures Are I'nssol Mcinhern Will Minion to Lenrc the < ! apltul Program far the Week In lloth llrniichcs. \VA IIIXOTOX , D. C. , July 17. As the tlrsl session of the Fifty-second congress draws to an end a feverish nasto and activity begins to characterize the proceedings , nnd this may naturally bo expected to wax warmer and fiercer as the weeks run on. The friends of various measure } that have not reposed peacefully on the calendars will make their last desperate efforts to secure action on their favorite bills. But in both houses every thing must give way to the appropriation bills , for the word has gone out that tbo ses sion will end as soon as these are disposed of , and everybody Is anxious to got away from the capital. The common expectation Is that the scs- sioa will end next Saturday or the following Monday nt least. Three of the appropriation bills remain to receive the final touches be fore they can be sent to the president. They are the sundry civil , the fortifications and tbo general deficiency appropriation bills. One of these is already In the conference stage , and the others will reach it before the middle of the week. The points of difference enco are more numerous than broad in the case of two of the bills and will doubtless yield readily to adjustment , The only seri ous controversy that , is looKcd for Is in con nection with the World's fair appropriations lu the sundry civil bill. In the The senate will spand the \veolt la tae re ception and consideration of conference re ports. In the intervals frequent resort will be find to the calendar , nnd the friends of the anti-option bill intend to try u pass , or at least rtebato that measure if they can do so without antagonizing any waiting appropria tion bills. Tbo Homestead labor trouble will probably. ba talked of in connection with the senate resolution proposing an investigation. Senators Aldrich aud Warren have given notice that they would speak on the tariff nnd irrigation bills respec.lvcly and eulogies on the late Senator liurbour of Virglniaaro to be delivered. Ibo program of the house for the coming week is somewhat ill defined , as closing weeks are apt to be , prospcctively. The ap propriation bills will have the right of way , of course , ns they are not running on schedule tune. It is Impossible to table the numerous other bills and resolutions which seek to DO switched into the track whenever the appropriation special leaves the roadway clear. Tomorrow is committee suspension day. and the committees will be called in their order nnd an opportunity afforded to pass a few bills that have been asleep on the calen dars. The majority ol these measures will probably bo of no great importance , tut should thu committee on merchant marine bo reached ( and there will bo an effort made to reach this committee ; one of the most inter esting short debates will bo made. The bllL to repeal thepiesent ship subsidy law has baen reported by the committee on the merchant marine , and the effort to pass it under suspension of the rules will find gen eral support on tbo democratic side. A num ber of eastern democrats , however , will oppose with -vigor any repeal oC this law. Worlil'H Fair Leglnliitlun. Tuesday has been set apart for the con clusion of the consideration of the senate World's fair amendments to the sundry civil appropriation bill. Chairman Wheeler of the penslou ofilco investigation committee has iibked the speaker fur a day for the con sideration of the report on Commissioner Haum's administration of tno pecsion bureau. The report has lost its privileged character , but tbo rules committee is favor ably disposed toward a proposition to bring ia a resolution making the report u special order lor Wednesday. Conlerences will be necessary between the two houses on the amendments made by tbu senate tut he sundry civil bill , forllfica'tions and general deficiency appropriation bills uud action on tbe.se reparls will take up a considerable part of the week. Committees of the hou ° e will be recognized to pass bills of minor importance whenever there is any spare timo. An adjournment resolution will probably be brought iu during the week and after the dale ot final adjournment U fixed the last days of the session , under the rules , will be duvoted to conference reports and passage of measures under suspension of the rules. _ WrsttTII I'eilAIOll * .

LON-DOX , Julv 17. All the cabinet min isters have been summoned to London for Thursday next. Mr. Balfour arriving in town yesterday , proceeded toHatsncld house to see Lord Salisbury. The latter went to Winusor to meet tha duks of Djvonshlre , who has bzon staying at tbo castle for some timo. Hero bo held it conference with her majesty and returned to London this even ing , accompanied by the duke of Devonshire. It Is expected that some developments of an unwonted character nre impending. A number of membets of the Carleton club came icto ' .own toJav to watca events. The political clubs nre crowded. A rumor Is rifp that The Carleton club mn state that a section of the cabinet want L ord Salisbury to resign forthwith in order to force Mr. Gladstone to maet the Housn of Commons with n full disclosure of his uome rule and general policy and so precipitate the crisis. The liberal leaders are prepared to take office Immediately or await the de feat of the government on the amendment to the address. No tactics that the present government can adopt will force the hand of Mr. Gladstone. If Lord Salisoury docs not await u formal veto of ex pulsion the liberal government policy as outlined in the queen's speech , can be sp couched as to ruveal nothing that the con servatives do not already know. If tin con servatives rely upon forcing Mr. Gladstone to declare himselr fully on the debate to the amendment , that depends on his pleasure. The course that..Mr. Gladstone adopts < n.will , not , in the slightest bo influenced by the views of the opposition , but rather directed to bfiffle them. A conference of Air. Gladstone and his col leagues is expected to take place on Thurs day. The difficulties of worKing the house with u majority dependent upontho Irish members are fully appreciated at the liberal headquarters. Amongst the troubles men acing the new government is the habit the Irish members have of irregular attendance. Many of them liuve bad business affairs in Ireland to look utter hitherto and only ap peared in the bouse when they were sum moned there by the exigency of Itish affairs. Tno special business finished , they vanish again. If this practice Is continued under the new'government , the absence of some fortv Irish members will render the govern ment liable to defeat at any moment. P.iruell kept his men together when the party purse WHS full by personal paymojls at regula'r intervals. Tlie liberals might have recourse to subsidizing the Mcuurthyilcs , but this would Placa the party under obliga tions which it is almost Impossible to accept. If the American subscriptions freely con tinue during the tlnal crisis the home rule party will be wonderfully strengthened All sides recognize tbo fact that the present elections , costing as they have , about i'J,5'jJ- 000 , are only thu prelude to a mare decisive electoral campaign when more money irubt be expended aud tbo loc.il organizations everywhere must be maintained in full vigor. The resources of the union ists are inexhaustible ns compared with those of tbo liberals- , though since last reverting to the financial position of the party the Associated Press correspondent has learned that assurances have been ob tained by tbo liberal executive that wealthy Gladstonians are ready to respond to d ? mands. Regarding the coming crisis in parliament , a month must ciapso before the actual busi ness of the bouse begins. The swearing in of members takes a fortnight , then the election of speaker and the chairman of the committees proceeds , Involving possibly a debate , nnd next comes tto dis cussion of the amendment to the nddrcst. in reply to the speech from the throne. If this is followed by a change of government , Mr. Gladstone may take a fortnight to form the new ministry" . The liberals thus calculate that it will bo October before the new government can bo depended upon to present to parliament its program. The import of this aud the esti mate of progress is that It is probable that Mr. Gladstone will not begin the work of legislation in tbo winter session , but will postpone it until next spring. A section of the conservatives cherish the delusion that Lord Salisbury , still holding a majority of the British votes , can refuse to resign until another appeal has boon made to tbo country. Some tory papers so-k to deny that such n course would ba unconstitu tional , though the bulk of them admit that the government must vacate office on iho first adverse vote. An analysis ol Iho latest returns show tbo value of the British vole on which tbo con- b'jnatlves now rely as the bulwark for the rolcction of borne rule. The number of mem bers thus far returned Is CM. This leaves only eighteen results yet undeclared. Eng land has sent 'i'il conservativeI'M liberals , including members of the labor party , thirty unionists and one McCarlhyito. ( O'Connor ) . Scotland sends eleven conservatives , fifty liberals and ten unionists. Wales tends two conservatives and twenty-six liberals , and Ireland seventeen conservatives , Jive union ists , sixty-four McCurthjites and nine Pur- ncllites. The opposition combined thus ag gregate mi und the unionists ! J1U. As changes are unlikely the now parlia ment will consul of 1155 Gladstonians and UJD unionists. The totul number of unionists returned by Great Britain Is SW and the total GmdMonlans 270 , Including tomorrow's results In tbo nlghteen remaining districts , "When Great Britain shows n clear ma jority for homo rule , " says the unionists' pro ; * , "it will corns. It can never ha carried by Irish votux , and especially white those votes nro twenty in excess of their proportionate tionate number according to the relative population of the countries.
