[ FROM TKSTEIUUI'S SECOND CPITIOX. ]
PITTSnuito , 1'a. , July 8. ( Special Telegram
to TIIU Biu.J Flushed with victory , the
striking btcol workers uro becoming dellant.
The lenders are losing their control over the
men , who nro becoming restless. On ull sides
can bo honrd groups of strikers denouncing
the shot iff ns a political trickster. They arc
suspicious ot the loaders , who at a meetinc
ndvisod them all lo let the sheriff take charge
of the mills.
The town has been quiet all day , but the
ttrlkors are nervous from the constant strain
of watching and waiting for un attack dur
ing the last few days , and it would not take
much to set the community in an uproar.
Sheriff McCloary , accompanied by Assistant -
ant Solicitor Petty , loft nt30tlns : : ! afternoon
for Homestead for n conference with the
leaders of the strikers at that point. The
cillzens of Plltsburg Breathed moro freely
after that fact became known than they have
done for a week. It was the lirst inovo mndo
bv the authorities which had In It the ap
pearance of conciliation. The departure of
Sheriff McCloary was postponed until the
hour named for several reasons.
Ho Couldn't Hulso u I'oiso.
Up to a late hour last -night ho still had
hopes that a sufllclent number of cili/ons
would respond to his call to go to Home
stead , although ho confessed that bo be
lieved such a movement would bear no fruit.
This morning ut Oo'clock about twenty-four
men reported to the sheriff with the Information -
formation that if bo would arm them they
would co with him. although they baa
no ambillon to shoulder guns or face strikers ,
who a few days had shown by their organi
sation that they know how to light. The
sheriff told the twenty-four cltlions ho had
no arms and the law aid not authorize him
to purchase any , and after an awkward
bllonco of several minutes , during which
time the high oQlclal of the county looked at
Sir John l-'alstnlT is
the twenty-four ns sup
posed to huvo" looked upon his reeralts , ho
told them to go homo.
The sheriff then sought the coniolatlon of
Ills private room , where ho remained until
ho received an invitation to go to
the Seventh Avenue hotel , whcro Ad
jutant General Greenland , General Wylie ,
Colonels Chambers and McKibben nnd
Lieutenant Hutlcago were witling to receive
him. This conference lasted until noon.
When the sheriff returned to his ofllco ho
learned that n meeting of the strikers nt
Homestead had been hold nnd that Lawyer
Brcnnan , attorney for the Amalgamated
association , had Advised the men to glva the
sheriff possession of the property.
lli > Iliul No Illiht toil I'ossr.
ThU intimation was a relief lo the sheriff
who hau , after coining from the meeting
with the milltiry gentlemen , been advised to
issue moro summonses and to en fore the law
upon those that fulled to respond. Whllo ho
was considering this last proposition and 301
before ho hud hoard the news
from Homcstoud , ho had been called
upon by several well known lawyers , who
infoimcd him thai Iho llmo had gene by fern
n summoning of a posse. They cbowod him
that it was only in case of n riot that a posse
could bo summoned , and there being no riot
today ho hau no authority to call upon citi
zens to go to Homestead.
Then the Iniled and much criticised oftlclal
saw n flash of light through the smoky nt-
mosphcro of Pitlsburg for the 'Irsi time
since last Wednesday.
An hour later there appeared beloro the
sheriff ox-Prcstilont Weiko of the Amalga
mated association , nnd with him u ere Pres
ident Garland and Secretary ICilgullon ot
the association , and Chris Magoc , wno came
In to help out the sheriff. This confoionco
lasted nearly nn hour , and before it was en
tirely over U'ciko came out nnd said in re
sponse to a query of Tin : tin : correspondent :
"i am well satisfied with my mission nnd
If nothing occurs to disarrange our i > lnns wo
are now in u fair way to a solution of this
question. I cannot nt this time toll you any
moro. Tno sheriff is going up to Homo-
sicnd this afternoon , -whore another confer
ence will bo held und after that wo will
liuow more. "
Itrsnlt ol th ConlVu'neo.
The conference ended soon after and Sher
iff McCloary with Lawyer Potty , made a
bco line for tha Fourth uvcnuu depot , when )
they boarded a train for Homestead.
Neither Mr. Magco nor Mr. Garland nor
Kllgallou cared 10 say what had been said
ut iho meeting. Inasmuch ns the whole mut
ter would have to bo tnltcca over with tbo
lenders at the mill.
Adjutant General Greenland , who Is known
10 represent Ibo covernor in tbls transac
tion , was himself noncommittal when asked
about tha conference hold at the Seventh
Avenue hotel , out from ono of hit stuff the
Intimation was obtained that much would
doppnu upon the results of thu conference at
Homestead. Ho raid that Governor Patti-
ion was fully tulvUod of the situation , and
would undoubtedly act If the sheriff was un-
nblu to bring about any satisfactory arrange
ment.
There is no doubt but that the avalllblllty
of the stuto mllltta was discussed at the Scv-
unth Avenue hotel conference , for u member
of Adjutant General Greenland's staff , when
uskcd direct what force could bo brought
into action on short notice , promptly ie-
jrled thut tlvo roKlmouU , two butteries and
one troop were virtually holding luunuolvu *
in roadlntas tit thut moment lo march.
Quickly rocuvorinir , hosalds
" 1 no uol mean to say that any notlco has
been plvou for these various regimen is lo
assemble ul headquarters , bul thai a number
of men armed nuil fully equipped can ho
thrown Into Homestead bi-foio tomorrow , "
\\ltliln tini.itu'x i.milt.
U was learned from n reliable source thai
G HicrulVyllo und lilt suit wore ut iJomu-
stcad late ycuoruay afternoon and that they
had gene ever tbo ground and were fully nil-
vised of the lay ot the land , and thai the
governor had been Informed of this. Evorv
pbaco of this situation from n military and
logai standpoint has boon thoroughly dis
cussed. General Greenland admitted thai
ho was very desirous of securing peacolul
settlement ot the trouble and had avlscd thai
every legal resource bo cxhauUcd before n
call for mill tin. Il was suggested thai the
courts ot Allo hony county might rmlst In a
.solution of the trouble by issuing an injunc
tion restraining the men from retaining pos
session of the property.
This proposition was laid before counsel ,
who returned the Information thai bofoto
such a proceeding could bo had they Would
have to show that the mon at the mills were
trespassing. As counsel understood It such
was not the case , and this further shows the
admirable organization of ' Iho mon at
the mills , as well ns the shrewd
ness of the mon who ore al ihelr
head , for It appears that the men are noi lu
actual possession of the mills , but nro pi-
trollinir ulong the track of the road nearby
and nro plckatnd on the heights overlooking
the steel works and tbo Monongahatu. As
long ns this slate ot things exists no In
junction could issue.

BOSTOV , Mass. , July S. | Spoclnl Telegram
to Tin : Bm ; , ] General Benjamin P. Butler
has como out in an interview relative to the
labor troubles at Homestead , Pa. , iu which
ho declares that the Carnegie managers violated
lated Iho law. After reviewing the case at
length , General Butler said : "I have no
words of justification of tha action
of the mob when the invasion
took place , but 1 may no permitted
lo remark when I see many assertions
that the Carnoglo company bad the richt to
protect its proparry , that perhaps that the
workingmen , knowing that they were bring

organization to shoot them down , might well
have bello\cd that they had some right or
could organize to protect their lives ni.ti
drive off tbo invaders who were acting with-
oul rieht nnd againsl law. Thai question
will Dear argument. Deserted by the stale
authorities , the higher law of 5 lf preserva

lion for what they did , but certainty in
palliation.
"Ifthotacts are as I have itnted them ,

PiTTsnur.o , Pa. , JulyS. [ Special Telegram
to Tun BKB.I Since Sheriff McCloary has
acknowledged bis inability lo cope with the
strikers at Homestead ho nas culled upon
Governor Patttson frequonlly to furnish aid
in guarding iho works of the Carnoglo com
pany. The governor bus as often refused to
call oul Ihu militia. Tonight was obtained
from an emissary of the governor , who 1s
privately In the city , the reasons why the
militia has not been called out und why the
governor considers it will not bo necessary
to do so.
Ho said : "Tho Carnegie Stool company ,
limited , a concern doing business in Iho state
of Pennsylvania , tins presented to Its mon
certain wane scales which they have refused
to accept. Before the tinal issue between
employer and his employes , the men were
glvon a certain duy to accept or reject the
wage propositions. Previous experience
should huvo taughl thesu men that this linn
was an organization of business ; thai U hud
udturcd lu Its business obllgntlons , It bus
always been understood in this country that
In case the business of a manufacturer was
interlcred wllh by outside persons thai il
was the business of the sheriff and his depu
ties to prevent any such interference. The
Bhpiiff has endeavored to carry out this Idea.
Ho has failed. The company aslis iho
suerlff to rcatoru its property to it , but
before the sheriff made a demand of the
strikers the } * , through the advice of able at
torneys , voluntarily placed in the hands of
the wutchtnon employed by the company this
same property.
"Tho governor lias boon advised of this
fact. Ho cannot see , therefore , why it Is
necessary to call out Iroops when Ibcro is no
rebellion and no destruction of property.
The governor's position is that the militia
was not organized to ao police duty. H Is
not consistent with tbo purpose of guarding
private property nnd denies thai unless Iboro
Is an assault made upon the property nr men
engaged at work therein ho has neither right
nor authority to call on the stale Iroops. "

be. All there Is to do is to watch the strik

What this will bo no ono can tell. It maybe
bo that troops will be ordered bore , but no
ono can say that such is the caso. The
sheriff has taken ono more stop and uiado ono
more effort to obtain admission [ for deputy

Six FRANCISCO , Cal. , July 9. At 0:23 :
o'clock this morning this city was ahakon
from end to und by an explosion. What It
was or whore It occurred no ono could tell.
Before the peopto had recovered another , as
severe as the lirst , again shook building * und
caused windows to rattle. People began to
realize that only the explosion of a powder
mill could Imvo produced a shock of that
nature. This explanation had hardly boon
arrived at when at 9:1)0 : ) there occurred n ter
rific oxplosin that shattered windows all
over town'blow in sky lights , broke plato
glass on Montgomery avenue , California
street , Montgomery street , Kearney street
and thoroughfares , and caused people to
rush into the streets as though the convul
sion was about to tumble all the buildings
about thnlr cars.
THO More Sharks.
The consternation was still at its hight
when thcro followed two moro shocus , Httlo
less severe than the terrific ones which had
just been felt. Glass rattled into the streets
all over the city and not a few buildings , ac
cording to their Inmates , came near col
lapsing. Men in the tower of the lire alarm
station were sure that the structure was
going to collapso. At the Palace hotel there
was great fear among the guests , and all over
the city there was created a feeling of alarm.
The intensity of the shook can bo appreciated
when it is known that it was distinctly felt
at Sacramento , eighty miles distant , nnd that
windows were cracked at Napa and other
points along the shore twenty-live miles from
the scene of the explosion. Along the east
sldo of San Francisco bay there are a num-
b.ir of largo powder manufactories which
have boon scenes of periodical explosions in
which a number of lives have boon lojt.
Where the llrplonlon Occurruil.
At Highland about half n mile from West
Borkoly and also Berkely and Oakland are
located the works of the Giant Powder com
pany , consisting of chemical works , mixing
nnd packing houses , live largo buildings in
all , together with thi03 largo powder maga
zines , and a number of smaller ones , and it
was here thut the explosion occurrou this
mornine , The explosion began in the nitro
glycerine works and the concussion soon
caused an explosion In ono of the magazines.
Flames also broke out to add to the danger ,
and though a wrecking train had promptly
been sent from Oakland the efforts of the
crew wore confined to a large extent to
keeping the people back from the scene.
About MO yards back was a largo magazine
containing 800 tons of black powder , the
explosion of which would have caused con
siderable fatality
< ! atlierlllf , " Up the Demi.
The work of gathering up the remains of
the dead was pushed forward as rapidly as
possible , but tbo scone was ono of such con
fusion and danger that the work was slow at
the best. The liames nt the burning packing
and mixing houses were terrillc and drove
the crowds back repeatedly. Chinamen
were huddled together in little knots with
scorched faces and hands , and their suffer
ing was intense. liven surgeons were pre
vented from passing the guards , for the
largest of the black powder magazines lay
just over the brow of the hill , and flames
from the burning wrecKage were creeping
nearer and nearer. Just about the maqaiina
could bo seen evidences of the explosion.
On the western slono the scattered limbers
of the giant powder house were blazing
furiously , whllo a yellow stream trickling
down toward the bay showed where the con
tents of ibo acid tanks hud emptied thorn-
solves. All the mixing and packinghouses
of 'bo black powder depattmont and sulphur
mill were in ashes. The damage to ibo black
powder works alone will amount to ever
fTO.OOO.
The first explosion that occurred caused
the giant powder magazine to go up. The
blael" powder mills lay directly In the path
of tbo explosion , und burning brands were
neaped upon the already wrnckod oulldlngs
and among the frightened Chinamen.
Unn.lmeil Chinamen .MlHHing.
U was for a long tlino impossible to gain
any Idea of Iho number of llvns lost. The
company declined to give any particulars
and as most of the meu employed were
Chinese the names were not obtainable.
However , an estimate was made at 1 o'clock
that there were 101 , of whom 101 were China
men , but there was reason to bellovo Unit
that estimate was not near the real number.
The cause of the explosion li slid to have
been the upsetting of a bottle of acid in the
oilier , whlco sot Uro tu the building.
Karly this afternoon no ono would ap-
nroucu the magazine which had not exploded
and which contained ever SOU tons of plant
powder and dynamite. Fortunately , how-
ovor.the Uro kept away from the main maga
zine.
Three \Vhlto .Men Drml.
Three white mnn who were working in the
ultro-glycorluo house were killed. They
were :

The head engineer of the glycerine house

time to 08capo.
Mrs. Painter of West Burkoloy , who was
hick , was so affected that sbo is bullovcd to
bo dying.
A boy named Uorcboro was blown through
tbo roof of ono of the buildings. Ho will
die.

The body of a Chinaman was found on the
railroad trace half a milo Iroin tbo works.
The remains of a Chinese boy , frightfully
mangled , were found near tbo scene. John
Farley , a workman , walking near the mix
ing bouse , was biown Into the buy , but
twain out. Tno bodies of tbroo white ir.un
were found in tho'Uebrls , terribly mangled.

The accounts conilno the list of dead
among the white'ttmplovos to thuio three
men. It is almost itnpotslblo to ascertain the
exact numbar of Ojilneso who nro killed.
Only two bodies of Chinamen were found up
to ibis writing. Tholboulcs of the dead are
now in Oakland morgue.
Ono of the riost striking features of the
oxploilon was Iho extent of damage in the
way of broken windows that it caused in this
city , twelve mlles from the nccno.
Tno officers of"iho Giant Powder company
were present oho'r the cxploilon. As they
saw the wreck ot nearly every structure they
expressed gratification ut the extremely
small Io3i of IIfo considering the torrlllo ex
tent of the oxploikm and tha Isrgo number of
men employed , 'i'hny say It Is almost im
possible to estlmnto tno loss , but say $200,000
will probably bo fho outside llcuta for the
uamago to the powder iwortts. The San
Francisco Chemical works , owned by Egbert

pletely destroyed'and their loss Is not fur
from $150,000. , .

Cable Spaclaino Tnc Bur. . ] The trial of
Wolf Buschoft t l Cloves for the murder of
;
little Johunn Hosemanu last year , has llllod
almost us much spaca In the Gorman papers
this week as did Prince Bismarck's inter
views , ft fs not the murder Itself , though
that was horrible ; that has caused so much
excitement but tho.fact that the accused is
n Jew , whllo 'tho lai ) , who , is said
to have bled to death , was a Chris
tian. Anti-Somites declara the child was
sacritlcod , and through their papers have
revived the old accusations that the teach
ings of the talmud tend to justify the offering -
ing up of Christians. The court house at
Cloves has been crowded every day since the
beginning of the trial , and every tnllo which
seemed to make against or tor tbo prisoner
has boon duly conimonlod on.
Buschoff is u butchor. Ills trade , hi * creed ,
his supposed dlsll&o for little Johann , Iho
fact that the shod at Xinton in whicn the
slaughtered child yus found stood near his
shop , the disappearance of six or seven
pounds of blood from the body , and the
failure of all attempts to connect the crima
with any other psrsoa , have all beou painted
out as proof proSuuipjivo of the prisoner's
guilt by the nnti-SomUoj. On the other
hand the accused and his co-rcliclonists have
refuted statements with regard to the insti
gators of the prosecution , and not only in the
piess , but iu tliolr sworn evidence in the
court , have don'isd that there Is any ground
for the awful , auQ ono would think mou-
strous , assertion of thotr foes that the Jovvs
use Christian blood id their rites.
Sillier Through Intense' lllgntry.
Few Christlf.ns know much about the
talmud ; fewer stil ! bollovo that It defends
murder , but there are fanatics who hold
different views , ail a do not- shrink from pro
claiming it. 1 tatko'd to ono myself last
wook. Ho was , by birth a Jew , had been n

Old Waller would no doubt have put moro
trust in the alibi invoked by Buschoff than
in the evidence ot the experts who have
maintained that the wound which killed
Johann was not made , as presumed , with a
butcher's knife , or the scholars who nave
smashed tbo anti-Semitic Interpretation of
the sacred Jewish books. If Buscboff
can only provo that nllbi and it looks as it
ho would ho cau escape. Meanwhile I hear
from the correspondent who has watched the
trial for the Horuld that an unpleasant im
pression has boon made nt Clovej by thn
transparent eagerness of certain pccplo to
exonerate Buscbaff. Whatever may befall
iho prisoner , until tnocrimo has boon brought
homo to some ono olso. numbers of bigots
will believe as they now do , that the Xinten
murder was a sacrifice.

changes of the personnel of the late ilouso
of Commons are not so extensive as wo nil
looked for , and none of thorn can be de
scribed as of the very first Importance , for
Mr. Httchlo , though a cabinet minister , is
scarcely a man whoso abionco would create
n great , irreparable gap ; besides ho will bo
provided for by ono of those little friendly
arrangements which the government knows
how to bring about , but it will Imvo to bo
done quickly , for I judge that the davs nt
Lord Salisbury's power are numbered.
Ho will not bo so very badly beaten , but I
cannot see whore ho is to tnaka up the losses
already sustained. As matters stand even
now , ho could scarcely bo said to have a
working majority. Well , but does It
look as If his rival would gotonef I think
not. A dead heat is almost Impossible , but
each party may bo left in a practically help
less condition.
homo IVatiircs oftho Campaign.
On the Issue of homo rule the country is
still Indifferent or hostile. No enthusiasm
for it exists except among the Irish , Many
elections have been decided by personal or
local causes. In some Instances a man has
literally bought his waj in , not by spending
money just lately , but by "salting" his con
stituency very carefully for a series years.
Nothing can stand against that. 1 ob
serve that rich men who can
afford to bo generous to their constituencies
seldom lost their seats. Blundell Muplo , for
instance , can count a majority of thousands.
On thu ether hand 0110 of the London mom-
Dors whohas.been .lavish m gifts has been
rejected for a total stranger. All sorts of
unexpected things" have happened.
Gladstone's Influence Is certainly waning ,
oven in Scotland and Wales , but his party
plus the Irish vote is still strong enough to
put tbo conservatives in the minority.
Tnat's ' why Salisbury will huvo to retire at
least for the time.
In many English boroughs there nro
enough Irish electors to turn the scale. I
have about 8,000 of them in my constituency.
I always find It dlfllcult to contend against
them. They poll their last man , the priests
bringing them up to the booths as in Ireland.
Not more than 0" per oeut of thorn voted this
time. They very neanv got mo down , but a
miss is as good as n milo , and 77 < S man out of
on electorate of 11,01)0 are not nblo to band
ever my constituency to the Parnellites.
It is not u.ily the Irish vote of
Ireland which has to bo rorkonod
within these latter dav politics , but tha cor
responding vote In England. We shall have
naturalized frenchmen In the now parlia
ment , anil a Parsce from Bombay , a ropio-
sontatlvo of "labour. " They may not get on
very wall , but their Intervention cou Glad
stone two or three seats , and great Is the o.d
man's wrath thereat. One or two of the
socialist's craft got in , but they will soon Hud
their level. '
Some notorious bores have been swept
ixway , happily for us all. Now ones may
arise , but at least wo shall have a change.
ciiil t iia HUH No Clneli.
John Morley may very likely lese his seat
if ho takes ofllco and has to sonic a re-election.
Ho received n savoro shaking up this
timo. Another sign of Gladstone's falling
influence Is there has been no upheaval , no
grand turn over , no such destruction of tha
unionist party us many predicted. Wo urn
about half way through and nothing has oc
curred to make the world hold its broath.
Gladstone at the stBrt had only thirty- four
scats to win out of 070 to efface Salisbury's
majority and has not done it yet. That u a
good deal to say.
VVill this election secure homo rule ! As
suredly not. Wo must have ono moro light
In the country before Ireland can pet n
parliament. Gladstone's majority will not
justify him in attempting to ruah n home
rule bill through Parliament. The unionists
will bo powerful enough to compel him to
take the verdict of the people once moro. A
long vUta of yours Btnnehos before us to
think in before homo rule can bo decided one
way or the other. Gladstone's death would
at any time romovu the question from the
Hold of actlvo politics and glvo it a purely
speculative interest. Evidently , then , its
llnul success U highly problematical.

LONIIOX , July II. [ Now York Herald Cablo'
Special to Tin : Buu. ] Andrew Carnegie ,
who received news of the riot at Homestead1
simultaneously with the freedom of the city
of Aberdeen , has been un u two days' coach 'i
ing lour wlin a party of frlmids , their dlstlna. * ,
tlou bolng Uannoch lodge , Carnegie's Scotch,1
seat , whluh is situated forty miles from"
Perth. The coach , with its party of occu
pants on board , rallied up lo DunalustenJ
hotel nt noon today , when a roprojontatlvo
of the Herald approached Mr. CarncRto autlv
asked htm if bo had anything to suy as to thoA
condition of affair ; , nt his works. *
"Tho strike is mon deplorable , " he mid/
"and Iho news of Ihe disaster which reached ;
mo ni Aberdeen gnovod mo moro lhan 1 can' '
tell you. It came on rae like n thnndor bolti
from n clear sky. I must positively dcchno
to enter on discussion ns to the nurlts or demerits - *
merits ot the caso. All I will say Is that/ /
the strike did not take place in the old Car. ]
ncgie work , but Iho difficulty has boon oui
tlrely in the recently acquired works. " j1
Ono cannot help noticing the kojn delight
with which the people of Great Britain view
the dlnicu tlos at Homosload. This is
mainly duo lo the fact that Carncgla
has been looked on ns the high priest oC
American protectionism from a republican
standpoint , nnd that ho has always boeil'
loudest in his claim lhat the higher Iho do-
grco of protection awarded lo the mXnufaci
turor the higher price ho must got for hlsi
goods and with the prjvnlonco oft
high prices must come correspondingly-
high wages. But the inconsistency
of Carnegie's position is made especially
manifest in Ennlind by the Introduction ot I
PInkerton hirelings to protect his nropiutjr
srom the probable assault at lha bunds of tha
very men who were tbo iirst to bo bonolUoO.1

them going so far as to call him "tho blatant' '
npostlo of triumphant democracy. " Tho4
Chronicle today in u sovorj urral gnraent off
Iho course pursued by the management of
the Homoslead mills , where Iho slaughter ?
took place , says tluil il is uuothor evldonca
of the inability of the American state law lo
afford adequalo protection to life and prop
erty. Pinkerton's men nro denounced In
scathing terms , and much surprise expressed' ' |
thai they should bo permitted to carry arms
while the power of the state authorities la
still unimpaired.
Among Americans in London Is John W.
Bookwaltor of Ohio , who owns extensive )
worit.i at Sprlngllold , O. In the course of a
conversation today ou the subject of that
strike ho said : "Tho democratic parly
could nol have prayed for a butter Illustra
tion of the sham ot protection than that
which is now bold up to view at Homestead.
Carncgio has gone before congress for tha
past twenty years wilh his doctrine of pro
tection nnd like n good subservient body
