\ 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.

THE MILITIA SUFFERING AT
HOMESTEAD.
Tim Heat Intense and Food Had—Troop*
Anxious to flat Away—Non-Union Men

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

PiTTgni'iio, Pa., July 17.—When tS#®
Congressional committee resumed lt»
investigation of the Homestead trouble %
yesterday, about fifty person* were
present,including Mr. Frick anil iVeihe.
O'Donnell, Carney and other member#
of the Amalgamated association.
The examination of Mr. Friclc WM
continued. Ho admitted that MM
Pinkerton men brought to Homestead
were there at his request and furnished
with arms by the company. It was'
stipulated in the agreement that tba
men were to bo armed.
At Chairman Oates request, the .
ness again made an explanation ef'
sliding scale. He also submitted
committee a copy of the agreement
