The Information , although not entirely unexpected , caused considerable surprise and excitement , nnd was the subject of conversation on the streets nil the afternoon nnd evening. They were mode against Hugh O'Donncl ! , tbo ciidor of tbo strikers ; John MoLuekio , hurgoss of Homestead ; Sylvester Crltlchow.

Alderman McMnstors Immediately Issued warrants for the arrast ot Ihu accused , and Constables eber , Morris nnd Price loft at once for Homestead to serve them. Opinions of the strlltciH. Gossip about Iho latest inovo of the com pany run wild. A few pronounced the move us welt founded , bucked up by Ihu legal ud- vice of Iho firm's counsel. However , u picul number said it was a shrewd move to get the leaders in the strike out of tbo way nl u time when the company expects to begin operations , ns the remainder of Iho work men would be deprived of the ndvlco mid leadership of the men in whom they liavo hud confidence ever since ' tlio'trouble began.

The report ilr.ds nothing for winch the commissioner can be criticised unless it bo Hint no ap pointed bis son appointment clerk of the bureau. It agrees with the majority in their suggestion in regard to the expose by the members of congress of the so-called "con gressional privileges. " The report asserts that the majority of the committco seemed determined to fasten crime und corruption upon the commissioner , out having utterly failed to do so by evidence it at last at tempted to do so by luloroaco. Tlio report , after paving a glowing ttlbute to tlio cfli- cioucy of tbo management and business methods and reforms perfected In the pon- slon olllce under Commissioner Ilium , states that while the minority concur * lu ROUIO of the recommendations of tbo majority , there are others that it might have consented to in a modified form If the minority hud had an opportunity for a comparison of views with tlio majority before its report fouud Its way Into the public press. Tbo report of the minority recommends , In lion ot n icjolution adopted by the majority , n substitute to the effect that tno record in Ibis c.iso supported by the committco shows ' an elliciont anil econo'mical- administration of > the business of the pension olllco by tbo picscnt commissioner , and asks that tb6 committee bo dlsch irecd from further In vestigation of the subject.

OUTLINE THEIR COURSE Libsral Membarg of Parliament Talk of the Proposed Program. HERBERT GLADSTONE ON HOME RULE Consideration of it Will Ho Postponed Tor Ono YriirVlion tlio ' nllnliiuy n\cm- Will go Out ( ioiilp Aliinit the Muw I'lirlliiincnt. LONDON , July 18. The Assorikitcd Press correspondent , in interviews today with sev eral prominent liberals , fot'tul n general con currence of opinion that the course of events would bo as predicted In these dispatches last evening. Some liberals venture to fore cast the exact dates of tbo different events. Thus , the momuiitoui division on the amend ment ousting the government is set down for tbo Kith of August , the resignation of Lord Salisbury for August 20 nnd iho adjournment of patliument for August 22 , n porlod uf ono mon In being occupied lu the re-election uf ministers nn.l iho formation of tbo cabinet , the house fornmlly reassem bling nt Ihu end of September nnd the real wont beginning about iho end of January. Kven tills , It Is thought , will absolutely de pend on the prudence of tbo Irish members. If they insist upon the Immediate pross.ng of the home rule bill they will pi.iy Into the hands of Iho consorv.illvcs , who want tlio curliest possible re-appeal to tbo country , huving full cDiilldcnco that they will attain bettor results in u lo-contcst. It the Irish support the general liberal program of Mr. Gladstone the new government can rely upon two sessions of oflleo bcloio being obliged to dissolve parliament. Wli-tt Will He Uuno ultli Homo Kulu. . Horoort Gladstone , speaking at Button , foreshadows us the best course n policy ox- aclly similar lo lhat referred to it : these dis patches of Friday , namely : That homo rule bu positioned for'a year nnd lhat Iho one mun vote bill bo pioccodcd with. The sum ol tonight's predictions is that the liberals mean to play for two or tbrro sessions before dissolving parliament nnd will not rush the homo rnlo bill. Mr. Glad stone will move n simple "no conference" amendment to the nil dross instead of one al leging specific reasons mid will thus bo en abled lo limit Iho scope of the declaration of his own policy. A most striking indication of the resurgent power of Sir Charles OilKo was scon in tno manner of his reception nt u demonstration of : ! 5,0U ( 'iituers ut Derby todav.

The Tunes , In nn edi torial on the election , says : "Tho election of Mr. Clancy by moio than 1 OJO votes ever his sacerdotal competitor completes the rout of the clericals in Archbishop Walsh's county. Iho Irish there have shown plainly that they are not clericals and will not bo rnlea by clericals. Saturday was u day full of encouragement for tbo unionists. Had the rosuslVhen obtatined been gathered earlier lu the struggle wo would probably buvo hud a different account lo givcol Iho issue of iho entire campaign. " Tho'Chronlelo savs : ' " 'It would bo useless for Mr. Gladslono lo go before the country on ' the homo rule bill before he has done so'mo- inlng not only to Improve tbo voting ma- rhlnt-rv by registration refoi in and u one-man- one vtilo bill , bul also lo convince the work- ini ; class und the middle class tbut it is worth their while to use it In tbo liberal Interest.

" The Dundee Comiur publishes a rumor to the effect that the sum of 100.000 was re cently subscribed to the Glndstonian funds on the condition that Mr. Gladstone should not pledge himself tolntroauLQ an eight-hour bill. bill.At At 3 this afternoon the returns show Ibo election of 311 supporters of the government und I ! 17 members of the opposition.
