'■ k;vvv> v/ v-' \ Homestead, Pa., July 10.—The borough of Homestead was placid un der martial law yesterday. This is the outcome of the unwarranted arrest of strangers Wednesday, sphere are now an nnusual nura Ji “her of men in the -steel works but a .Whether they are non-union workmen j or not has not been learned. The f -strikers are convinced that\bv night fall men. will be put to Wpprlt in the ■mill under the protection of the mill* They are watching all Pittsburg1, Braddoclc and Homestead stations ■ -closely. Abdht ten men got oft at the Baltimore & Ohio station across the river this morning and announced that ; they were going to apply for work. "They were persuaded to go back to Pittsburg. The men are more subdued than dur ing the^arly part of the week and do - 'not threaten to enter the works and ■ -drive off non-unionists, notwitlistand ! ing the military, as they did before. It is now thought they will wait until the militia leave. The strikers have re -ceived resolutions of sympathy from the Polishers’ lodge at New Haven, ’Conn. The only thing that relieves the dull ness is the many rumors afloat. Sum marized they are the 1.5,000 mill work •ers employed in the Edgar Thomson Steel Works and other Carnegie estab lishments will go out this afternoon; that the Homestead mill will be in ■vaded to-morrow by 400 non-union men •who will put things in shape for •operating the mammoth plant next -week; that more Pinkerton men and a •couple of thousand non-union men will put In an appearance here by Sat urday to take the place of the locked ■ont men and that the militia will aid the Carnegie men in introducing the non-union men. The first two reports -are probably true.J Hugh O’Donnell continues to receive "telegrams encouraging him to keep up the fight. Over six hundred labor > "bodies scattered from Maine to Cali fornia have tolegiaphed their* official Indorsement of the men's position. < Assurance of both moral and financial . -support continue to pour iu upon the .Advisory committee. In this connec " tion it is only proper to say the reports indicating suffering among the locked-out men for want of food are 4 -entirely groundless. No assistance is - yet needed. The 3,500 men who are •out of work are thrifty and most of -them have money laid by for a rainy -day. The Amalgamated association has a bountiful treasury and is per fectly able to supply any help that may be required by the families of the locked-out men. 7 INVESTIGATING THE KIOT. •Chairman Frick and Superintendent Pot ter Before the House Committee Pittsburg, July 16.—General Super intendent Potter of the Carnegie com pany was' the first witness before the ->€oufg sessional committee yesterday. He said the Homestead mills were the •finest in the world and workmen made -SO per cent more wages there than in -any other plant. He said the average .reduction proposed by the company, which precipitated tlie strike, was 13 •per cent. About three hundred men •■were affected. Andrew Huff was on one of the barges during the fight. When the firing commenced from the shore only ■i .o, few of the Pinkertons tried to land. W. L. Danahy, a reporter on the Pittsburg. Leader, arrived at Home : stead about -0 o'clock after the first fight. Heard some firing at tho time but did not know where it came from. He could not get near enough to ascer tain.' He did not see the surrender of flip Pinkertons. William Woihe, ex-president of the Amalgamated Association, was then placed on the stand. He said tliore were 35,000 skilled workmen in the as sociation. They were different nation alities, but the majority wore Ameri •caus. The association did not counten s. ; anee any act of violence on the part of its members in keeping out non-union Chairman II. C. Frick of the Carnegie Steel company was then questioned by 'Chairman Oates. He said some of the workmen had testified that the poorest paid men and those who had the hard ; -est work suffered most under the re duction. He selected the wages dur ing the month of May, just before the •trouble, admitting, though, that the 'wages were a little large. Out of 300 •men employed on the 110-inch plate ■mill only eighty-two were reduced. In 1883 396 men were employed in the :same departmentand by the change in the scale then 106 were affected and 100 wore not. More men were affected by the. sliding scale than any other. Mr. Frick gave a statement that the ’Camegies do not control the billet mar ket. At Duquesne, he said, 800 tons > turned out in a day, while by ■Jones & Laughlin, the firm used yes 4 terday for the purpose of comparison, 1,000 tons were produced. He thought that was sufficient to show that the ■ Camegies do not have a monopoly. The new beam mill at Homestead was com pleted about fifty days ago at a cost of * $300,000. ► . Chairman Oates—Could you not oper ate the works at Homestead withont reducing the wages of the men? Mr. Frick—No, sir; we would event ually be driven into banlcruptty, if there was not arcadjustmentof wages. After a few unimportant proceedings ■Chairman Oates sui<f*that the commit tee had concluded its investigation, so iar as the Homestead trouble was eon cerned. “The committee.'* said Mr.' Oates, “has some further ijrvuiry tt] make at other places as tofhe Pinker* ton organization. The court of inquiry at Pittsburg is now adjourned.” WIIL START IN ten DAYS, Secretary toi^Joy Says tlie Company ■ Hare All the Men It Wants. | Pittsburg, July 10.—The Carnegie Steel company is, according to its officials, pursuing a determined plan tc | start the Homestead works, and they ! have nearly all the arrangements made, j Secretary Lovejoy was asked whether ! the mill would be Operated before the! soldiers are withdrawn. I “The soldiers will have no effect on our plan either one way or the other,” | he answered. | “Will you be ready within ten days?” | “We wfll. with all the men wo want and aSl repairs made.” “Will you start then?” “If we want to." . Mr. Loyejoy still declares that most of the Homestead workmen will return to work just as soon as the company wants them. He is confident there will be no trouble in securing the re*, inaining men needed in other places. HELD BY SOLDIERS. THE MILITIA SUFFERING AT HOMESTEAD. Tim Heat Intense and Food Had—Troop* Anxious to flat Away—Non-Union Men Will Be Put to Fork la the MIIU To-day. _ Homestbad, Pa., July 15.—Abso lutely nothing is going,on in Home stead save foraging for rations, swel tering in the downpouring heat of Scab hill and waiting for the next move in the game. The soldiers are suffering more than the strikers and some of them are al ready impatient to be away. They are badly lodged and worse fed. If the present weather eontinues there will be some sickness, as the boys are having all the discomforts of an actual campaign with none of its re deeming features. I At the strikers’ headquarters not more than three men drooped about the great hallway. j “ The more the boys stay home or go fishing the better it will be for all' hands,” said Mr. Cummings. “ We do not want them here. There is nothing for them to do but wait, nnd j they can wait under the trees better , than in this awful hole. Tiie troops can’t stay here forever, and I don’t see how Mr. Frick can expect the situa tion to be materially changed after th« leave. “This company does not seriously hope to run the works with imported labor,” he continued. | ‘‘Mr. Frick knows that if we provided carriages to bring black sheep from the depot to the mills and got the band to welcome them he could not, all over the county, get men enough for the works. lie depends upon breaking up the Amalgamated association and tak ing back about two-thirds of the old men. Tills he can never do; and until he does do it the mills will stay idle or he will come to us. ’•We can afford to wait Not a cent in our treasury lias been touched, and we have powerful friends to fall back upon when we have spent our own money.” Hugh O’Donnell, Burgess McLuckie, Mr. Rylands, and about half a dozer others of the leaders here during the rocent fight went up to Pittsburg this morning to testify before the Oatei committee. MINERS UNDER CONTROL. Awed by tlie Presence of United States Troops. Wallace, Idaho. July 16.—The troops reached Wallace, ^iocc yester day after the funeral of the dead strikers the citizens of this place have been decidedly uneasy. No one felt safe from violence and few citizens slept Wednesday night. The terrible news from Mission shows to what length the strikers would gp. Human life was not considered safe. Every one in any way identified with the non-union men was subjected to in sult It was after this that Gen. Carlin rushed in two trains carrying five com panies of trodps. Immediately on the arrival of the train the troops patrolled the camp and quiet settled down like night. All the unidta men and their sympathizers in sight showed the most abject submission. Not many strikers were insight, however. All had with drawn to the camp on the hills. Presi dent O’Brien is not to be found. G. M. Dallas, a representative of the Mon tana unions, who has been stationed here during the strike, is said to have been in the party that shot down the men in Fourth of July canon. Last night there were 700 troops in the Coeur d’Alene. Advances wiil Ire made on Gem and Burke. Detachments will be left in each camp. Mullan will be included in the list that will have blue-coated, gray-liatted soldiers pet roling the streets. Coeur d’Alene is to be filled with troops. Some here doubt the story of the wholesale murdering nt Mission. Others fully believe it, and are not surprised at the occurrence. Still Signing the Seale. Pittsburg, Pa., July 14—Another scale oonference of iron manufacturers and workmen was held yesterday, but no settlement was reached and the meeting adjourned until to-day. The Findlay Rolling Mill company of Findlay, Ohio, and the Anchor Iron and .Steel comrany of Newport, Ky., signed the Amalgamated scale to-day. j This makes thirty-two signatures re ; ceived from Iron and steel mills outside | of those signed In the sheet mill con ! fere nee, which were thirty-seven ■ in I number. I * i CONGRESS’ LAST DAYS.1 PROSPECTIVE WORK BEFORE THE SENATE AND HOUSE. Many Measure* Will Hare to He Rushed Through If the Adjournment Is to Take Place Meat Week—Home of the Business to Be’llone. . . .. Washington, July 10.— As the first session of the Fifty-second Congress draws to an end a feverish haste and activity begins to characterize the pro ceedings, and this may naturally be expected to wax warmer and fiercer as the week runs on. The friends of various measures that have long re posed peacefully on the calendars will make their last desperate efforts to sc- j cure action on their favorite bills, llut in \oth Houses everything must give way to the appropriation bill, for the word 1ms gone out that the session will end as soon as these are disposed of, and everybody is anxious to get away from the Capital. The common expectation is that the session will end next Saturday or Mon day, at least. Three of the appropria tion bills remain to receive the finnl touches before they can be sent to the President, They are the sundry civil, the fortifications and the general de ficiency appropriation bills. One of these is already in the conference stage, and the others will reach it be fore the middle of the week. The points c4 difference are more numer ous than broad in the case of two of the bills and will doubtless yield1 readily to adjustment The only seri ous controversy that is looked for is in connection with the world’s fair ap propriations in the sundry civil bill. The Senate will spend the week in the reception and consideration of con ference reports. In the intervals fre quent resort will be had to the calen dar, and the friends of the anti-options I bill intend to try to pass, or atleust de-1 bate, that measure if they can do so 1 without antagonizing any of the re- j maining appropriation bills. The Homestead labor trouble will probably be talked of in connection with the Senate resolution proposing an inves tigation. Senators Aldrich and Warren have given notice that they would speak on the tariff and irrigation re spectively, and on Friday eulogies on the late Senator Harbour, of Virginia, are to be delivered. Tuesday has.been set apart for the conclusion of the consideration of the Senato world’s fair amendments to the sundry civil appropriation bill. Chair man Wheeler of the Pension Office In vestigation committee has asked the Speaker for a day for consideration of the report on Commissioner Raum’s ad ministration of the pension bureau. The report has lost its privilegee char acter. _ Signed by flit President.* Washington, July J!>.—The Presi dent has signed the consular and dip lomatic appropriation bill. MANY MAY BE DROWNED. Nothing Heard of a Tug and Four liarges that Left Oswego Friday Night. Oswego, N. Y., July 19.—Nothing has yet been heard from the tug Hooth and the barges Thurso D. Richards, C. Richardson, and Winona, belonging to the Montreal Forwarding company, with coal for Montreal, and it is feared that they foundered in the gale of Friday night, and that the crew, aggregating thirty-two men, have been drowned. The tug and barges were built for freighting on the St. Lawrence river, and were not cal culated to contend with the severe storms of the lakes. The ettrges carried about 350 tons of coal each, and were loaded until their decks were within eight inches of the water. They were without a stitch of sail or compasses and were unprepared to help them selves iu case they should be cast adrift. BALLOTS TAMPERED WITH. Verdict in the Vanryn-IIoran Election Cane at Milwaukee. I Milwaukee, July 19.—The jury in Circuit Court in the election contest case of Henry J. Vanryn, ^Republican, against Alderman James . lioran, Democrat, who was given a seat in the common council last spring through a mistake of the election inspectors in omitting Vanryn ballots, have rendered a ver dict declaring that the envelopes con taining the ballots had been tampered with after they had been sealed and that Democratic ballots had been sub stituted for the Republican votes. A grand jury will undoubtedly be called to investigate the case. 1 People’s Party In Georgia. ’ i Atlanta, Ga., July IP.—The State! convention of the People’s party meets in Atlanta Wednesday next, and will be attended by delegates from every county in the State. The city attend ance will be small, but that from the rural districts will be large and en thusiastic. As to the strength of the People’s party vote in Georgia there is a wide diversity of opinion. The Farmers’ Alliance, which one year ago had 80, 000 names enrolled.now has bnt 20,000. These are supposed to be about all People's party men. The lenders now in this city claim they can poll 20,000 majority._ Crashed Through a Ilrldge. Vandai.ia, 111., July 19.—Yesterday evening Albert Spradlmg, a young man residing at Mulberry Grove, just west of here, was running a tractioh thrashing-engine over Hurricane Creek bridge, when the structure gave way, precipitating engine and water tank a distance of twenty feet into the btreain. Spradling went , down with the engine, and, besides being terribly crushed, was almost ' drownedV'ken assistanceyeached him. He died in great agony. ] MORE ARRESTS MADE. Striking Miner* In the Toll* of tit* Uw ■t Spoknun. Spokakk, Wash., July '10.—Sunday i <lulot hung over the Cocur d'Alenes yesterday. The arrest of miners con tinues, and several hundred are now J huddled in school-houses, empty wnre houseo and the baseball stockade. They are closely guarded, and can not hope to escape. The troops have not captured any of the rifles or ammuni tion of the strikers, which are bid in the surrounding hills. A number of lending spirits in the insurrection are still at large. Among theso ere llreen and Dill las, who came here from Itute to direct the campaign. It is reported that the Montnnu unions are indignant at the way the fight has been carried on, clnlming thnt llreen and Dallas have held back thoir cause for years. Ollier lenders still nt large are l'ettibone, Glover, Tobin and Sweeney. A detachment of troops went to Mur ray yesterday anil brought Frank Reed, the murderer of It. W. Stevens, to Wallace for safekeeping, ns threats of lynching were heard on all hands, and a well-organized mob had planned to attack the jail. GLADSTONE’S BIG JOB. Liberal Leader* Worried by the Far nclllten ami Labor Men. London, July 10.—The question now troubling the Libernlleadersisliow far. the Farnellite and Labor members will go in support of Mr, Glndstono. The Parnellites bate the Liberal leiulor more ardently than the Tories, and there is hardly a doubt that they would Booner see home rule defeated than ac cept it at his hands. The prospect of a home rule measure fasliiohed by Gladstone, Iiealy and McCar thy is something they cannot tolerate, and tho Conservatives and Liberal Unionists will probably have at least the secret sympathy and, as far as possible, the active co-opera tion of the Parnellites. As for the La bor members, they profess complete independence, and while they ure pre sumably not opposed to Irish home rule, there is no reason whatever for assuming that they will go out of their way to forward it. Besides, a large number of the straight Liberals gave but faint support to Home Rule in their election addresses, and mny con clude to show a good deal of independ ence as to the details of a Home Rule bilL Spread of the Cholera. London, July 10.—The epidemic of cholera is not of so highly infectious a character as former outbreaks. Very few persons are attacked in proportion to the population but the disease is quickly fatal. r"" The disease is raging with extreme virulence among the workingmen of Tsavitzin, where many of them have died twenty-four hours after they were attacked. Riots similar to those that have occured at Astrakhan! are feared at Tillis, where the butchers are ex cited over the decision of the authori ties to destroy the old nbnttoirs and build new ones. The religious com munities in Moscow are organizingpro cessions to apx>eal to God to stay thp scourge. Indiana Reformatory Fired. ~~ IndianAropis, Ind., July 10.—The Female Reformatory of Indiana, lo cated in this city, narrowly escaped destruction by fire last night. The fire was of incendiary origin, was well plnnned, and the fact that the attempt to destroy the institution was not suc cessful was owing to the efficiency of the fire department. The fire was stnrted at 8 o'clock in three different rooms at the same time. Bed-clothing was piled upon the floors and ignited. The fire was subdued with little loss, but several inmates escaped. Explosion nod Fire* ^ Pittsburg, July 19.— At 1:45 o'cloclc i!liis morning' an explosion, presumably of gas, occurred in the tinware manu factory of Fleming & Hamilton, at 61 and 63 Third avenue. The building and contents were entirely destroyed. The fire originated on the third floor in the japanning department. Within five minutes the flames had spread throughout the building. Within three months the building has been on fire three times, each time the work of an incendiary. The loss by this morn ing's fire is $45,000 and is well insured. Ittuding Twine Is Very Scarce. Mabox Citv, Iowa, July 19.—There is a great scarcity of binding twine in this state. The dealers say they have not half enough to suppy the demand and several large concerns are refus ing, on account of the scarcity, to fill orders. An unusually large harvest is almost here, and farmers are now rush ing in earn! securing all the surplus stock at figures averaging 3 cents a pound higher than last yeur. Iron Workers Locked Out. Superior, Wis., July 19.—Saturday afternoon the roller mills of the West Superior Iron and Steel company shut down, the fires were drawn, tools. put away and arrangements apparently made for continned inactivity, if neces sary. The men who were supposed to be in any way connected with the Amalgamated association, or who had taken part in the recent demand for the adoption of the scale were dis charged by a notice in writing. Kanins lias Another AVaterspoat. Emporia, Kan.. July Iff.—Over two inches of rain fell here during the last twenty-four hours The heavy rainfall has been general throughout the Sta e. In the southeast part of this county a waterspout fell near Four Milo creek doing a great deal of dumngc to prop erty. No lives are reported k»t, al though many horses, cattle afed hogs were drowned.

There were life preserv ers enough for all on board and two life planks wore fastened to tho floor ing of the upper deck, but there was no time to reach them before the boat was under water. Of the twenty-four passenger* ten were drowned. Twenty of tho nura- I her were able to cling to the parts of the taoat not under water and to the wreckage that floated off, and wero saved by boats that came to their as sistance. All of the crew escaped drowning. The four passengers not accounted for, three women and one man, are supposed to have been drowned, and tlielr bodies are now under the sunken steamer or are float ing down with the swift current of the swollen Illinois. TO CLOSE SUNDAY. Senate Passed the Sundry civil Dill as Amended. Washington, July 10.—World's fair legislation is again the property of the House. Tiie Scnute late yesterday afternoon passed the sundry civil bill with tho various amendments relating to the exposition. Sunday closing is made ironclad, but the action in pro hibiting the sale of liquors on the ground is reversed and that matter left entirely to the exposition management, As the sundry civil bill came from the House it merely appropriated the remainder of the 81.5'K),000 provided for in the bill of the Fifty-first Con gress for the running expenses of the government exhibit and the National Commission, with a proviso that the government exhibit be closed Sunday. The Senate increased the amounts for these purposes by 8500,000 nnd added the new propositions for souvenir coins and for payment of awards, making the total increase over the House iu the neighborhood of SO, SCO,000. It also made the Sunday closing apply to tho entire Exposition, By Special Committee.
