Non-Union Men No Looser Questioned—

Nest Week.
« •■■■;
Homestead, Pa., July 30.—Hugh
O’Donnell has left Homestead quietly
and is probably on his way east again.
Mrs. O’Donnell was quite nervous yes
terday and said, when asked, that
her husband was going away on private
business. It is not understood here
that the labor leader has any particu
lar ^mission East unless it be to further
his political schemes. He had no com
mission from the Amalgamated associa
tion or the advisory committee, so far
as could be learned.
The members of the advisory com
mittee have little to say concerning
the rosy reports of mill work, except
that it is very easy to impose upon a
person not acquainted with the sub
ject. A fact which is being brought to
the notice of the committee by many
of the earnest fighters is the increasing
number of absent workmen.
At the beginning of the fight a reso
lution was adopted that any man who
left Homestead without leave would
not be allowed to work in the mill
after the fight was over. For three
Weeks after June 38 very few people
left town, and they all were excused,
yet during the last week hundreds have
gone away and as a result watchful
ness has been most decidedly impaired.
A week ago not a stranger entered
the mill but was not noted. Yester
day 150 went in and few knew of it un
til informed by the papers. This morn
ing two strangers with valises got off
the train at Homestead and inquired
the way to the steel works. Some
townsmen told them, but no pne asked
Why they wanted to go to the plant.
This could not have happened last
week. The militia is largely responsi
ble for this seeming apathy,as the men
have come to recognize that so long as
men remain'in the works it is impossi
ble to argue with them and induce
them to leave. So no necessity exists
for such vigelance as before.
Camp Black was looking rather dreary
yesterday. Several regiments have
gone and others are breaking camp.
Maj-Gen. Snowden and staff leave this
afternoon. In an interview the com
manding ofilcer said: “The troops
have behaved admirably, the discipline
bein almost perfect. I am well
satisfied with the showing. It
is deploraljle indeed that a con
dition exists which necessitates the
calling out of the State militia every
two or three years to suppress troubles
arising out of wage disputes. Some
other means of settling these troubles
should be arrived at.”
The impression is prevalent among
the soldiers who are to remain that
they will not be kept longer than the
end of next week. They expect a set
tlement of the lockout by that time.
KNOCKED OUT.
Acta of tlie Legislature of Michigan De
clared Unconstitutional.
f . Lansing, Mich., July 30.—The Su
preme court has handed down opinions
declaring unconstitutional the two acts
of the last Legislature reapportioning
the Representative and the Senatorial
. _ districts in the State. The title of the
case involving the Senatorial gerry
mander was “Theron F. Gidding
vs. Secretary of State,” and that in
volving the Representative redistrict
ing, “Supervisors of Houghton County
vs. Secretary of State." The man
damus asked for is granted in each
case and the secretary is ordered to
issue notices of election in accordance
with the redistricting act of 1881, the
acts of 1885 being held to be equally
£y. defective with that of 1891.

The Saltan Wants Russia’s Friendship
London, July 30.—A dispatch to the
Times from Tangier says: The Sultan
announced to the court at Fez on the
20th inst., that he intended to ask the
•Czar to accredit a Russian minister to
Morocco, as if this were done the close
alliance between France and Russia
would render him independent of other
C<: European powers. The Sultan and his
advisers are, however, reported to be
? extremely nervous as to the possible
consequences of his treatment of Sir
Charles Euan Smith in Fez.
There are Jl2,000 rebel Angieras en
eamped in sight of Tangier. The Sul
tan and his soldiers are extremely un
■' willing to fight, but the rebels con
V tinue their terrible cruelties and their

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER,
Boro Postal Espsrluasuts—A Municipal
Manager!*—A Uonblo Water
Works
St. Louis, Aug —Postmaster H.ar
iows's scheme for railway postal service
in the city, by means of the street car
lines, has been abandoned for the pres*
ent, because satisfactory financial ar
rangements cannot be made with the
roads which would have to carry the
mail. The pneumatic tube postal ser
vice will be put into operation in the
fall, and it is likely that visitors to the
city will then be able to see a remarka
ble postal convenience between the
central and southern part of the city
in full swing. The postal demands of
St. Louis are not content with this,
however, and the department has or
dered ten new sub-stations to be estab
lished in the outlying districts,
The Zoological garden in Forest
park, which was established a few
years ago by the gift of a few buffalo
to the city, has been added to so con
stantly, from year to year, that, it is
now considered by collectors to be
worth nearly fifty thousand dollars.
The city legislators have just dis
covered that there are a lot of animals
worth looking after out there, and
have appropriated a large sum of
money to build comfortable quarters
for them, • and to buy others. The
Park commissioners, as they succeeded
one another, have carried out a general
plan of buying only tame animals, and
(.here is not one ferocious (one in the
whole enclosure now devoted to them.
St. Louis will soon be the only city
in the United States with two systems
of water works in constant operation.
In these days, when the most ordinary
water works plant costs between one
and two million dollars, most cities are
glad to have one system in good condi
tion. By a peculiarity of this city’s
taws, the revenue from the sale of the
water can be used only for the exten
sion of the water works, and conse
quently there is always plenty of money
to carry out the plans of the engineers.
The Water commissioner is now mak
ing arrangements to build one water
works station to supply the suburbs
exclusively, and he will have it finished
a short time after the new city water
works are completed. The minor sta
tion will pump water to places within
six miles of the city. Home of these
suburban towns are so high that they
can’t be reached by the ordinary city
pressure, and without the proposed
system they would have to build works
of their own or deDend on cisterns and
This summer in St. Louis is going to
show many fewer sunstrokes tl*on there
were last summer. Sunstrokes are
things that can’t be helped in a large
city, where people will work hard dur
ing the hot months and eat and drink
carelessly. As a matter of course,there
are more sunstrokes in tenement
houses, where people are huddled to
gether, than there are' where there is
more room. Since last year the tene
ment house district of the city has lost
fully one-third of its population, partly
because of the railroads entering the
town, which tore down numbers of the
rickety dwellings, ana partly because
great efforts have been made by real
estate men to fill up the suburbs
through the sale of houses and lots on
cheap plans. The fast roads, which
were extended into every part of the
town, made it possible for the me
chanics and even the industrious la
borers to live on the edge of the city,
in pure air and near the parks, and at
the same time to get to their work in
season. Last year many people died
in their beds at home, overheated.
This year there has not been one case
of the kind reported, and the sun
stroke physicians have had little to do.
Designs for the statue of Gen. Sher
man, which is to be put in front of the
city hall at St Louis are being made
not only by the artists here, but by
several sculptors in Paris, who want to
get a foothold in America. As soon as
the hall is ready for the statue a prize
is to be offered for the best design,
the only condition being that the figure
must be equestrian. It is believed by
the artists that there will be at least
ten designs in the competition.
Hiring Men at 8t I-outs.
St. Louis, Mo., July 30.—An agent
of the Carnegie company is actively at
work in this city engaging workmen
for the mills at Homestead. Many
employes of the Vulcan and Jupiter
iron and steel works, which have been
idle for some time, have been engaged
for the Carnegie works. It is stated
that 1"15 men have been sent to Pitta
buyg on free transportation during the
last week.
The Utility oi Typewriter*
Is now so generally recognized, that the busi
ness of making and selling them has rapidly
become a profitable one. Of course such s
state of affairs tempts many to try to secure
a portion of the profits, rightfully belonging
to the original inventors and their successors.
Old ideas, which have been tested and re
jected years ago, ar* refurbished and trotted
out to do duty as “latest improved,”
etc. Th' apparent indifference of the Rem
ington typewriter people, who control the
leading fundamental patents, has encouraged
infringers to boldly make use of the Remlng
The near approach of a day of reckoning la
now foreshadowed by the granting of an In
junction in New York against the selling
agent of one of the small-fry typewriter con
cerns. It Is reported that other suits will
speedily be brought against other machines.
An injunction—a very unusual proceeding in
mercantile cases—has been allowed, and the
agent of the Franklin has been compelled to
stop business in the Franklin machines en
tirely. After the manner of culprits, the of
fenders immediately tried to break the force
of the matter by explaining that the patent on
which they had infringed had but a few
months to run, etc., etc. The injunction
stands, nevertheless, and the Remington Co’s,
attorneys are understood to have plenty of
similar cases against this and other machines
which are to be brought to judgment very
shortly.

Omaha, July, 29.—The advisory
board of the Nebraska State Butineta
Men's association held a meeting at
the Merest laat night to conalder the
matter of Bending out a aencond edi
tion ofthe train, "Nebraakaon Wheels,”
which was aent through the eaat laat
year and attracted the attention of
hundreda of thouaanda of eaatern peo
ple to the broad and fertile fielda of
Nebraska
There were present L. D. Davidson
Omaha, general president; O. J. King
of Lincoln, drat vioe president; S. S,
English of Eagle, thin! vice president;
1L F. Hodgin of Omaha general sec
retary; F. H. More, Kearney; S. H.
Colvin, McCook; C. F, ladings, North

train and report on the best method of
accomplishing this.
It was decided to assess each county

signed positions in the order of the
receipt of their application accompa
nied by the cash.
Each county is required to furnish
16,000 pieces of advertising matter de
scriptive of the county.
The counties represented on the
train will each be allowed 2,000 words
of matter descriptive of the county, in
a book to be issued by the state board,
which will contain about twenty pages
of matter descriptive of the state.
This descriptive matter must be furn
ished by August 20.
F. H. Moore of Kearney was elected
treasurer of the train fund, to receive
and disburse allmoneys connected with
the exhibit. All money should be seni
to Mr. Moore.
All counties intending to participate
must have their quota of the assess
ment in the treasurer's hands not latei
than August 26. No material for ex
hibits will be received later than twe
. days after the close of the state fair,
The train will leave Omaha Septem

in Eastern Ohio, where the first stanc
will be made. From there the trail
will go through New York and Massa
chusetts, stops being made at numer
ous points.
The trip will occupy about thirtj
days. The secretary was instructed t<
prepare the necessary advertising mat
ter and send advance agents ahead o
to give notice of its approach.

that 100 Shrinera from St. Louia wil
be in Omaha during the imperial coun
ciL August 15-17. They declared lha
i an hotel would be necessary for them,
, as they proposed to keep open houn

; Mr. Crumb suggested the Murray u

■ its several thousand participants, will
be the culmination. It is expected to
i last from two to two and a half hours,
and will be followed by receptions by
Governor iioyd and Mayor Semis at
the Faxton, which is the headquarters.
The banquet wiil be at the Millard.
Colonel Akin, illustrous potentate of
Tangier temple, the body of Shriners
in this city, believes that from what
I has come to him in the way of official
correspondence, nearly every one of
the sixty-two temples in America will
be represented, not only by delegates,
but also by members. There will be
, about 150 delegates, all told, to the
imperial council, the legislative body;
ana about 2.000 Shrines; and besides
[ these there will be Knights Templar
and other Masonin visitors to the num
ber of 6.000 to 8,000. They may not
’ all be here on the same day, but Oma
ha wiil be thronged with them between
August 12 and 17.
Many ladies will accompany the
Shriners, and Memphis, which will
bring at least fifty nobles of the shrine,
has given notice that there will be a
large contingent of the fair sex ac
companying it.

THE BEDS ABE IN IT.
AN ANARCHISTIC PROPAGANDA
| ' PRECEDED THE ASSAULT
On Sin Frick Saturday—The Arrant of
Anarchlat Knolda Laada to Important
Oavalopinanta—Lucy Pomona Flguraa
In It—Uyatarloua Cyphars.
I Pittsburg, July 38.—Anarchy in the
I United States is not dead; It Is not even
. sleeping. Its high priests are just as
wideawake, just as venomous, their
, ramifications jtfst as extensive and per
' haps more so than they have ever been.
I The lesson and warning of the exoou
tlon of Spies, Parsons, and their asso
ciates, and by the repeated prosecu
tions and convictions of Herr Johann
Most, have failed even to bruise the
head of the transplanted monster.
Anarchy is as much a thing of life as
ever. So much has been evidenced by
the attempt upon the life of Henry C.
Prick and the subsequent developments
I that have come to tho surface. The
. police are naturally jubilant over the
■ arrest of Carl Knolds, and believe
that they are now on the way
l toward the fountain head of tho
conspiracy that culminated in the
tragedy of Saturday. For some time
past the socialistic and anarchistic ele
ments of Allegheny have been keeping
under cover, and tho authorities have
, flattered themselves that their vigil
ance for the last two years had boon ro
! warded and that the element had lost
its desire for mischief. They have
j however, been deceived, for the search
of ICnold’s residence last evening proved
| conclusively that the circle or section,
or whatever it may be called, has been
I continuously engaged in active propa
I ganda and iB intimately associated with
other opponents of free government
: and liberty-loving institutions in differ
' ent parts of the United States,
j In the rooms were found vast quanti
I ties of anarchistic literature and corro
spondence, indicating that anarchy has
i abiding places either in the persons of
I groups or individuals in New York,
j Chicago, Denver, and other points.
A large number of cyphers and
cypher communications which were
brought to light indicated the
existence of a general and
secret mode of communication.
! One of these cyphers, inclosed in an en
velope bearing a New York date, ap
peared to be based upon tho Hebrew
alphabet. This appeared to dovetail in
I with a second that appeared to bo sim
ply a combination of unintelligible
scrawls, and this by figures on its back
was apparently a key to a third, in tho
form of an ingenious geometrical chart,
with numerous curves, each different
from the other. A ljncn railroad map
cf the United States had upon it three
marks, intended to indicate air lines
between New York and Chicago, and
these were marked at intervals with
figures, which related to cipher words
on the back. So exten. Vve was
the supply of Anarchistic litera
Iture found in the place as
to indicate that it must have been used
as headquarters for the distribution of
this dangerous stuff through the
I country. There were numerous copies
| of Freedom, a rabidly anarchistic
sheet, emanating from Chicago and
edited by Lucy Paring, the
dusky relict of the executed
anarchist. The paper was filled
with matter bloodthirsty and bom
bastic, some of the articles calling upon
Anarchists to pull down the wage
question and wage slavery. One copy
contained a letter from a local An
archist telling Mrs. Parsons that her
paper as truly advocates and defends
the principles of revolutionary com
munistic anarchism as did the Alarm,
edited by-her husband, and pledges for
| it the cordial support of all the "com
' rades” hereabouts.
1 There was also a bundle of another
Chicago anarchistic sheet, named
Gaaalift, printed on deep red paper,and
- of Herr Most’s Freiheit. Some had
black and others red borders.
, Of various communications in Ger
man, and written from widely
separated places, there was enough to
I fill a small satchel, while as a finale the
< police came across a packet of tiekets
for a raffle of a tine relief picture of
j the five martyrs of the working classes—
I Spies, Parsons, Lingg, Engel and
' Fischer—the proceeds to go “for the
benefit of the English agitation,” the
raffle to be held next month.

St Riico, 0. T., July 88.—The Dal
tons turned their leteat triolc hero at
10:30 o'clock yesterday when they
robbed the Dank of HI Reno of 810,000.
The presiilout of the bank, 8. W. Saw
yer, was absent in, Oklahoma City,
and there was no one in the bank
save Mrs. Sawyer, who is the
cashier. A stranger stepped up to the
cashier’s window, made an Inquiry
about some town lots and then went
to a desk and began writing. Suddenly
another man entered the bank, and,
stepping up to Mrs. Sawyer, presented
a revolver at her head, at the same time
requesting that she turn over all the
money in the vault.
Mrs. Sawyer was so paralysed with
fright that she did not move until the
robber recalled her to her senses by in
timating that unless Bho act quickly he
would blow her head off. She there
upon entered the vault and took from
tno safo all the money it contained.
This, together with what was in the
daily cash draw, she pushed over the
counter. The man who was writing
at the desk turned quickly, seised the
money as Mrs. Sawyer handed it
through the wicket and darted out of
the door. lie wuh speedily followed by
the man with the revolver. As soon as
the danger was past Mrs. Sawyer
screamed and swooned away.
Outside tho robbers mounted horses
they hod left standing near tho door,
and rode out ltoek Island avenue at a
rapid pace. Neither wore masks.
Their haul approximated 810,500, less
than 8100 of which was in silver.
When Mr. Sawyer returned from Okla
homa City half nil hour later ho found
the bank full of people who had been
attracted by tho news of tho daring
robbery. From his wife, who had re
covered consciousness, ho learned the
story of tho hold-up.

Homntttd Striker* Threaten to Dlow
Up tlia Mill*.
Homestead, Pa., July 28.—Since It
has become evident that the Carnegie
Steel company, under protection of the
National Guard, is about successfully
to operate its mills prominent members
of the advisory committee bnve been
considering ways and means for pre
venting any successful working of the
plant. One of the prominent members
of this committee yesterday said:
“We will not, under any circum
stances, permit those mills to run if
there is any agency which may bo em
ployed to prevent it. We have already
selected men who will go into those
mills as fast as they can secure employ
ment, who are Instructed and Bworn to
carry out our orders in con
summating the policy which we
have agreed upon. When we are
sure there is no longer any hope for us
our representatives in the mills will
place explosives where they will do the
most harm to t he machinery. We have
definitely determined that these mills
shall not be operated by non-union
men, and one of the principal ways to
prevent it is to either control or wreck
the property. I might say a great deal
more, but under the circumstances T
havo gone as far as 1 dare."

Third Brigade joined in the cheering
when it was reported to them as
probable that they, too, would be home

day Judge Holman declared that Con

of this restoration of the torture. .
“I shall try to have some member
