p ; Hcd quietly nnd all Homestead was In
holiday attire early tnh mnrnlng in anticipa
tion of the mllltla. It was expected the
troops would nrrlvo by daybreak oad the
people turned out in anticipation of that
event ready to welcome Iho bluo-coated
roprosontalivcs of Iho stuto with n proces
sion of brass baniU , school children
and flowers. But the situation became somewhat -
what ; ludicrous as ttio hours passed and Iho
mllltla did not appoar. The bands did tholr
best to keep up the spirits of the multitude
with indifferent success.
Spoiled Their I'ret.ty I'riiRrnm.
It was after t ) o'clock when the cry wont
up that iho Iroopj wore coming. Tbay ar
rived ny iraln from Iho rendezvous at
Grccnshnrj' und consisted of the Second and
Third brigades , numbering y.OJO men , under
command of General . Snowdun , together
with two Galling guns and turoo Hold pieces.
The sudden arrival , In the nbsencJ of the
the loaders of the strikers , disconcerted the
program for the rocepUon , and Iho soldiery
evidently did not doiira such troatmoul from
men whom they wore sent thoto lo hoop In
order. They wore received with perfect ro-
SDOet , and here und Ihoro an attempt at a
cheer was t-ot up by the onloolclng populace.

The troops descended from the train ,
formed silently , marched In perfect order ,
took possession of the miln , deployed ar
tillery across the Mononguhclu opposite the
mllK sot pickets all about the works , and
settled the question of Inking possession of
Iho town by marcning ono company direct to
the strikers' headquarters , another to llic vi
cinity of the depot , and a third
to a blight eminence overlooking and
commanding tlio commercial center ot
the town. Then Homestead win In
the hands of the military and martial law
hud succeeded tlio arbitrary reign of iho ad
visory commllU'o.
Thu citizens uf Homestead are clearly disap
pointed thai iho milllla thought it necessary
lo occupy iho whole town instead of con-
lining themselves to the mills , but gave no
open evidence of the fact. Tnoro was complete -
pleto acquiescence In the power of the state ,
nnd us gracefully as they could the striicors
accepted the Inevitable. Tlio batteries across
the river command the whole town , as well
as ihe C.irnoirio works.

When the troops arrived tlio strikers'
'
nickels' , located in the neighborhood , loft
their posts and congregated to watch Iho
soldiers. The strike leaders al once sent
them back to their stations , telling them
they had no business to leave their posts and
instructing them not to let any nonunion
men or do'ectives ' through the linos. The
loaders told them the troops would not inter
fere in tbis. Similar Instructions were given
the other watchmen and the whole strike
picket line was mformod oulsido of the

HOMKSTIIAD , Pa. , July 12. After tholr call
upon General Snowdcn this nfternoon thu
strikers' committee , greatly crestfallen , re
turned to ihclr headquarters , where u discus
sion of the situation followed. General
snowdon's reception of the gentlemen was a
Jitter pill. That the general meant business ,
lowover , was now thoroughly understood ,
A walling campaign Is doslded upon as bo
ng the only possible policy which could bo
pursued. The patrols of the strikers out
sldo the town and the railroad depots will bo
continued nnd every effort will bo made to
keep Pinkcrtan watchmen and uou-unlon

Mr. O'Donnell and the oilier members of

they will meet and solve iho problem.
"Wo will not bo beaten , " O'Donnoll re

No rations had been provided for the sol
diers , and accordingly tboy were permitted
to go into iho town as they pleased to got
their meals. The result was that everybody ,
soldiers nnd strikers , did n great deal too
much drinking. Every saloon was crowded
to IS full capacity and everybody was tilling
himself. The result was chat moro drunken
men were to bo scon on the street
than were visible altogether in the past
week. Stilkors and soldiers fraternized ami

Ibis spirit is by no moans con lined to a few

ana the result hits boon a great increase of

In wagons and by rail. The mines employ

curred in the mountains overhanging St.

were burled under a mass of rock nnd earth.

lltirrlcil from Slumlier to Deiith.
The disaster occurred at : ) o'clock in the
morning when everybody was asleop.
Bciomnassay glacier , which extended from
tint northwest sldo of Mount Blanc , became
detached and swept down the side of Iho
mountain , carrying the bulbs and hamlet of
Lafayotlc into tha lorrcnt ,
Over 150 bodies have bien recovered from
the river Arvo , innkme , with these tiiKen
from the ruins of the building * , ISO.
It is now believed that this will not cover
the entire loss of lifo , as many bodlos nro un
doubtedly burled under the masses of debris
thai will never bo recovered.
The balhs of Si. Gorvniso were In llvo
separate buildings , joined by u stone wall ,
erected in n narrow gorge. They were situ
ated about 2,000 foot above the sea , and on
Iho roud from Geneva to Chamonlx. A
glacier became detached from Mont Blauc
and full Into a mountain lorront , car
rying away tha hamlet of Blonnuy
and filling the torrent with masses of leo.
The masses of leo and wreckage of the village -
lago formed n dam which effectually re
strained the waters for some time. Finally
the dam broke and the waters burst llko a
cataract Into the stream of Bonant , which
passes through St. Gervaiso. Tbo inmates
of iho ualh houses were awakened nboul 2:15
a. m. by tno sound of rushing waters and n
loud , crashing noiso. Before they were
able to Icavo the buildings the
torrent , tilled with the debris of the village
and largo masses of ice , crowded up against
the bath houses. Three of the buildings
were entirely destroyed , another one par
tially , while the fifth building sustained no
damage , being situated upon a higher eleva
tion than tha others.
Swept Away In the Torrent.
The torrent continued into the valley , des
troying everything in Its course. The vil
lage of Lafayette , in the valley , was alraosl
entirely demolished. The wreckage of
houses was swept on for miles into the Arve.
Down the latter stream corpses and wreck
age have bocn scon floating all day long. The
full mortality ia not yet known. It is be
lieved that seventy-five persons porUbod at

latest estimate of the number dead Is 130.
The whole surface of the river is strewn
with the wreckage of houses and with trees.
Many of Iho victims were awakened by the
sound of tbo descending avalanche of matter ,
bul .t was too lalo for them to escape. It Is
believed thul not n singio person in the line
of the descending glaciers , nnd the bodies
they carried along with them , escaped with
bis life. It is Impossible us yet to obtain the

mangled beyond recognition. Many visitors

will recommend to the queen that she send

Prominent radicals in Iho National Liberal
club are tonight discussing what Mr. Glad
stone ought to do. They favored postponing
ttie homo rule bill for a year and to open the
session of parliament with Iho lubor nnd
rural reform program. The reasons for ndopl-
ing this course are , llrst , the fact that homo
rule Will precipituto a dissolution the llrst
year of parliament , and , second. If homo rule
is postponed , U will give Mr. Gladstone time
to perfecl Iho details of iho measure. Uep-
ruBontatlons to this affect will be made to
Mr. Gladstone , but It Is doubtful If they will
succeed , ns in his private conversation with
