Protection Demanded From Sheriff McCleary by Man- -ager H. 0. Frick. DEPUTIES AT HOMESTEAD Are Met by the Workmen and Sent Dome on the Steamer Edna, The Sheriff Issues a Proclamation Formal Dissolution of the Advisory Committee of Fifty Borough Busi ness Men Want on Injunction Upon the Officers Governor Fattison Tele graphed for by the Workers Secre tary Lovejoy Says Repairs Will Bo Commenced at the Works Within a Few Days Hopes StUl Entertained of a Peaceful Settlement. HE events at Homestead yester day were the call of the firm to the Sheriff for protec tion, the effort, in a email way, of the Sheriff to respond, and the expulsion of the Sheriff's dep uties from the borough by the iron bound organization of the workingmen. 3reat anxiety awaits the developments of to-day. Both sides seem to feel that the crucial test has come. Sheriff" JlcCIeary does not yet say that he gives up the contest, but he does say that he cannot tell what action he will take. On his action to-day much depends. His action yesterday was all that he could take upon the moment, because he sent his entire office force, as far as it could be spared, to Homestead. After a lively ex perience, they were returned to the city. The Sheriff says he can find no extra depu ties, but that he will do what be can to preserve the peace. A Call Upon Sheriff McCleary. . The call from the firm, on which action westaken yesterdav, is as follows: Dear Sir You will please take notice tiat at and in the vicinity of our works in Mifflin township, near Homestead, Allegheny coun ty. Pa., and upon tlie high ways leading tlieietofrom all directions, bodies of men havecoUtfctr-tVwhn.jijsiimo to and do pre vent access to our employes to and from our property, and that from threats openly made wo have reasonable cause to appre hend that an attempt w ill be made to collect a inoli and to desti oy or damagcour property afoiepjinl and to prevent us from its use and enjoyment. This property consists or mills, buildings woikshop, machinery and other personal property. We therefore call upon jon, as Shenffol Allegheny county, ra to protect our property from violence, damnpe and destruction, and to protect us in Its free use nnd enjoyment. Carseoie Stefl Compact, Lim., IL C. Trick, Chairman. Carsegif, I'mrrs & Co., Llm., 1L C Frick, Chairman. Tlio Sh-rlff's Visit to Homesteat. In response to the appeal from the Chairman of the Carnegie interests Sheriff McClean, accompanied by ex Sheriffs Gray and Cluley reached Home stead shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning. They made their way to the headquarters of the Amalgamated Associa tion on Eighth avenue, and requested a private conference with the Advisory Com mittee. Their request w,as granted, and at 10 o'clock the three Pittsburgers filed into the private office of the committee and met face to face the 50 men who up to that time had managed the affairs of the locked-out men. Addressing himelf to the Chairman of the committee Sheriff McCleary said: "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the Advisory Committee: The Carnegie Steel Company has called on me in my official capacity as Sheriff of Allegheny county to protect the property and buildings of the company, located here. I thought that it would be a wise move to come here this morning and personally look over the ground." The Offer or the Committee. The Sheriff's terse speech created a de cided sensation. He was requested to re tire for a few moments. The committee spent a quarter of an hour behind the closed doors and then the chairman made this answer to the Sherifl: "The Advisory Com mittee is not only ready but anxious to as sist you in preserving peace and protecting property hereabouts. In proof of which we now offer you any number of men, from 100 to 500, to act as your deputies. They will serve witout pay and will perform their duty as sworn officers of the law, even thuugh it cost them their lives. Further more, the committee will give bond of cither S3,000 or 510,000 for each man, no mat ter how many, that they will do their duty." The Sheriff, after devoting ten minutes to silent meditation replied: "Gentleman I thank you for this offer and perhaps in the near future I will accept it, but just now I prefer to have ray own men and I will there fore send 50 deputies to Homestead this afternoon." Kscorted Around the Silent Works. At this juncture one of the committee men suggested that it would not be a bad idea to have the Sheriff and his two as sociates inspect the plant and its enviorn ments. The suggestion was acted upon at once and an escort committee was quickly appointed. In charge of this committee Sheriff McCleary left the hall and walked around the works. It required something more than an hour to show him everything and it was close on to noon when the party returned to headquarters and re-entered the Council chamber. The Sheriff was then politely asked to give the committee his view of the situa tion. "I see no signs of disorder "anv where," he said, "and I must say that I think there is no necessity of having depu ties here, nevertheless I must perform my duty and I will send the men. "When the Sheriff concluded he was again asked to leave the room. The Advisory Committee then held a BACK secret session that lasted for over an hour. Tho .i,iviory Committee Dissolved. Then followed the dramatic climax of their episode. The door of the committee room suddenly swung backward on its hinges and those in the great outer hall were asetd to enter. "When the Sheriff and his party crossed the threshhold they found the 50 members of the Advisory Committee gathered around a long table. On this table were heaped piles of official looking documents. In the center of the group stood the Chairman. He said: "Sheriff McCleary, the last meeting of the Advisory Committee has just been con cluded. "We, as members of that commit tee, have, after due deliberation, resolved to formally dissolve this committee, and we have asked you in here in order that you may witness the spectacle. The Advisory Committee from now on will not be respon sible for any disorder or any lawless act perpetrated either in Homestead borough or Mifflin township. Do you understand our responsibility ceases from this very moment I now declare the Advisory Com mittee to be dead.' All the Records Destroyed. Then a strange thing happened. Hardly had the final words passed the lips of the speaker when each member of the commit tee unfastened from the lapel of his coat his badge of office and tossed it on the table. The 50 bits of narrow ribbon formed a crimson mound in the center of the table. Scarcely had this been done when the piles of official documents were carefully laid in the open grate. The Chairman bor rowed a match from a bystander and struck it on the iron fender. Carefully shading the tiny flame with his hands, he bent over and ignited the papers. Thw hungry Receiving the Depiitiet at MunhaR. flames caught the solid pages of manuscript and as the grate is new and the draught was strong, the official archives of the-com-mittee were soon reduced to a smouldering mass of blackened ruin. The Chairman turned to the sheriff and said; "You have seen all; have you any thing further to say to us?" Sherifl McCleary replied: "Gentlemen, I have nothing more to say. Good after noon." "Hie Sheriff Ketarns to PIttsbar-. Then, with a low bow to the Chairman, the sheriff backed out of the room. He was followed by his two deputies. Tho trio hurried down the narrow stairway which leads to the street, and after a brief consul tation walked rapidly down Heisel street. When they arrived at the river bank a red faced man in a leaky skiff offered to row them across the river for a quarter a head, and his proposition was promptly accepted. The three officials were landed at Salt Works Station shortly after 2 o'clock, just in time to catch a B'altiinore & Ohio train bound for Pittsburg. After their guests had departed the labor leaders held auother secret consultation, and after it was all over sent this telegram to their legal counsel in Pittsburg: Hoxestead, Pa., July 5. To "W. J. Brcnnan, Esq.. rlttsburtr. Pa. : The citizens of lliffltn township ask for a temporary Injunction to restrain the Sheriff from sending deputies to the Homestead Steel Works, situated in .Mifflin township. We believe that it is a move calculated to cause unnecessary disturbance. Expect an Injunction This Morning. This telegram was signed by three well known citizens of Mifflu township, but the leaders declined to make public their names. Mr. Brennau made no replv to this tele gram. It is bplieved by the leaders at Homestead that he will apply to court this morning for the injunction. The news that Sheriff McCleary had de termined to send armed deputies to the works and that the all-powerful Advisory Committee had of its own accord dissolved created intense excitement in Homestead. Men gathered at the intersections of the streets and in low tones discussed the situ ation. The general tone of this sidewalk criticism was conservative, bat there were many men who said that .it the imported deputies attempted to enter Fort Frick there would be trouble. . THE DEPUTIES' RECEPTION. Two Thousand Men Await the Officers' Arrival at Munhall With the Sheriff's Proclamation Escorted to Headquar ters Under Guard Keeping Back the Crowds. It was between 0 and 6 in the afternoon when the evening express slowed np at Homestead station. Before the train had come to a full stop a man jumped from the pUtform of the rear car and announced to the little group of watchers that there were ten armed deputies aboard the train. "They are bound for Port Prick," shouted the man as he worked his wav thrnnirh li crowd, "and they are going to get off at MunhalL" According to the railroad neonle the time from Homestead to Munhall is exactly six minutes, allowing a stop of one minute at City Parm, which is midmay between the two stations. The express was on time and didn't stop more than three minutes at Homestead, yet when it pulled np in front of Munhall station a crowd of fully 2,000 men were massed on the road-bed and plat form. Among the first passengers to alight was a tall man with a stubby silver grav mustache and the form of an athlete. Close at his heels were nine able bodied and de termined looking men The man with the silver gray mustache was Sherifl McCleary's right hand man, Deputy Sheriff Samuel H. Cluley. His companions were Deputy Sheriffs Itobert Thomas, Samuel Young, 1 - v - PITTSBURG, WEDNESDAY. JULY 6. Thomas Houck, .T. .L. Evans, Harvey Towuy, E. T. Kewell and "William Dlttrich and Messrs. Itobcrt Johnson, "William Dersam and George Bailey. Ftaeriff McCleary's Proclamation. Deputy Sheriff Cluley had with htm the following proclamation, issued by Sheriff Escorting Deputies to Headquarter. McCleary. It was posted at conspicuous places throughout Homestead, and was read with much interest by the locked-out work men: PBOCLAMATION-TO WHOM IT MAT CONCERN. "Whereas, It has come to my knowledge that certain persons have concroated and assembled at and near the works of the Car negie Steel Company, Limited, in Mifllin township, Allegheny county, Pa., and upon the roads and highways leading to tho same, and that such persons have Intoifered with workmen employed In said work obtaining access to the same, and that certain persons have made threats of Injury to employes go ing to and from said works, and havo threat ened that if tho owners or said works at tempt to run tho same tho property will be Injured and destroyed. Now, I, William 11. McCleary. High Sheriff of said county, do hereby notify and warn all persons that all tho acts enumerated are unlawful, and that all persons engaged In the same in any way are liable to an est and punishment. And, 1 further command nil persons to ab stain from assembling or congregating as aforesaid, and from interfering with tho workmen, business, or the operation of said works, and In all respects preserve the peace.andtoretiieto tbclr respective homes, or places of residence, ns the lisrlitsjof the workmen to work, and the right of the own ers to operate their works w ill be fully pro tected, and In case or failure to observe these Instructions all persons offending will be dealt with according to law. William H. McCleary, High Sheriff of Allegheny County. Office of Sheriff of Allegheny County, July 5, 189i Received by rn Immense Throng. The travelers were quickly recognized by the assembled populace, but there was no shouting or hooting. The crowd closed in on the deputies when the train had pulled out, and peiore they could realize the pur pose of the men Deputy Cluley and his professional brethren were engirdled by a solid wall of sureing humanity. ,JJor,ja single moment not a word 'was ntterrdvand' then a man who is prominent in the councils of the locked out men stepped up to tne deputies and said: "Gentlemen, what is your business here?" Cluley, who bad remained marvelouslv cool during this episode, answered: "We are deputv sheriffs and our instructions are to proceed to the Homestead Steel Works with all possible speed." "You fellows will never get to the gates alive shouted someone in the crowd, and his words were cheered bv his comrades. Here the man who dad first spoken raised his hand and shouted: "Order, boys, order; these gentlemen are now in our care and you must protect them from the un thinking mob." The March to Headquarters. This well-timed speech had a marvelous effect on the crowd. When the leader or dered that a path be cleared those in front fell slowly back and a narrow lane was cleared. Then the spokesman of the as sembled wage-earners turned to the depu ties and simplv said: "Follow me or I will not be responsible for what may happen." "Move on; we will follow you," replied Cluley, and then the march to headquarters was begun. First came halt a dozen, of the leaders, headed by the chairmau of the old Advisory Committee; close behind them walked the deputies, and at the heels of the deputies was the rear guard composed of 20 men who are prominent in labor circles. The little procession formed in single file and Vfl Deputies Departing on the Edna. walked botween the walls of swaying humanity with measured tread. The mar shay of the procession wisely chpse the most direct route from Munhall station to headquarters hall. Passing through a nar row side street be turned into Eighth ave nue and headed directly for the hall. It was a nerve-straining march from start to finish. With every step the crowd grew in proportions, and when halt the distance was covered the head of the line was con fronted by another crowd which surged down the broad avenue with solid ranks. "What's the trouble? Have the infernal scabs arrived?" was the query of the leader of the second crowd as he confronted the marshal of the advancing column. Arrived Safely at the Hall. "No, no," replied that quick-witted indW ridual, "it was a false alarm, and I want you to turn about and return immediately to your posts." This equivocation worked beautifully. The men turned in their tracks and, all unconscious of the fact that a group of deputies were close in the rear, hurriedly retraced their steps. At last this great restless throng arrived in front of the unpainted walls of the headquarters, then it halted and spread out until the neiirhbarinv streets and lanes were filled to overflowing. Slowly the deputies and their escorts made their way to the side entrance of the hall. When they had claimed the stairway and X trfiwl' S found themselves in the big smoke-scented room, they breathed sighs of genuine relief. They, were men of nerve and undoubted courage, but the tremendous strain to which they had been subjected had told on them, and they did not hesitate in acknowledging that they were very glad to be where they were. OFFICERS SENT HOME. ' The Deputies Decide" They Are Powerless to Force Their; Way to the "Work nnd "Wllllnzly Accept an Invitation to Ke tnrn to Pittsburg. When the deputies and'their guards were safely housed the doorkeeper was instructed to close and bolt the outer doors and allow no one to enter. This doorkeeper is a big and very strong man, and with the assist ance of a couple of helpers cleared the stair way and passage and locked the doors. While all this was going on the captured deputies were invited into a private office. Six of the principal leaders ot the men fol- ,lo ed them and a star-chamber session en sued. This conference lasted for fully half an hour, and when it was over it was an nounced that the deputies were to rettirn to Pittsburg by tho first train down, but then, to the surprise otlhe leaders, the crowd out side begau to show unmistakable signs of irritation, and it was feared that if the crowd gained another glimpse of the depu ties there would beji collision. Then it was that the leaders "demonstrated their power over the men. AtJworrWrpm the chair man six men went'-otit into liigstreets and ordered the multitudpto disperse, At first there was some grumbling, but In a compar atively short time the crowd began to thin out, and the men went their several ways quietly and peacefully. Confronted hy,a Serlons Problem. After the bulk oftha crowd had dispersed the mostdramatic scene of what had been a most dramatic day Tortbe people of Home stead was enacted. Jrwgan tamely enough, but the climax prpved alike picturesque and unique. The deputies had been given their choice of either accepting free transportation back to Pittsburg or remaining in Homestead and taking the consequences. Being men of sense, and having Already spent a bad halt hour with Homestead's excited citi zens, the deputies decided to accept free transportation bade to their homes. When this decision had been reached the managers oft the affairs were confronted with the troublesome prob lem of how to get the Sheriff's men out of town with whole skins. Several plans were proposed and alter discussion reject ed. It was finally decided to hustle the men aboard the Bteamer Edna and carry them bv the water route to Glenwood vil lage. The second and final stage of the journey to Pittsburg could easily be made by the Glenwood aud Pittsburg electric car line. Guarded by a large escort the depu ties left the hall and hurried to the river bank at the foot ot McClure street Deputies Embark on the Edna. The Edna is an aged and fussy little craft with meagre accommodations tor pas sengers. She was tied to a little floating pier, access to w hlch wa3 gained bv means of a watersoaked and uncommonly frail bridge of narrow' planking. One by one the deputies walked gingerly over the bridge and onto .the Edna's deck. Their leader, Mr. Cluley; was the last man to get aboard. .Before he crossed the gang plank he made this statement to a Dis patch reporter patch reporter- ' a L. AavIseO.Tbyn to Go Home.

The men with hie compose force of Sheriff" McCleary's office. .1 was ordered to come here bv the Sheriff and take charge ot the works. When we got off at Munhall station a great crowd was there to meec us; and I saw at once that it would be sheer folly to attempt to force our way to the gates. I don't believe that 500 men conld have forced their way to the gates without a shocking loss of life. The leaders of the crowd ordered ns to march to headquarters and we obeyed. You were with us and you know the details of that journey. Returned In the Interest of Peace. "After we had arrived at the hall the gentlemen ot the committee informed us that they wonld not be responsible for the people it we attempted to enter the works and in the interests of peace and harmony urged us to return to Pittsburg. I put the question to my associates, and it was de cided by a unanimous vote to go back. No, I can't tell you how the Sheriff will act now. You will have to see him." AYhen her passeugers were aboard the Edna slowly steamed out into the channel and started toward Glenwood. Her engi neer was in a jubilant mood aud manifested his satisfaction at the turn of affairs by nlavinc an impromptu solo on the Edna's ill-toned whistle. The crowd on the shore and ti few groups of curious women on the bank above waved their handkerchiefs and cheered until the Edna was almost out ot sight. Then the people turned their backs on the placid river and started home. It was the supper hour aud only the biggest kind ot a sensation can induce the average Homestead man to remain out of doors dur ing meal hours. I Keeping a Strict Wa'cli. The explosion of a Jackson cracker any where within the limits of Homestead last night would have stampeded the army of brawny workinz men who have stretched themselves out from Munhall station above the Homestead works to Howard station, just beyond the Pittsburg city line. These men were standing almost shonlder to shoulder watching with closest scrutiny everybody who comes into their city and it is safe to assert that nobody escaped their vigil. Last night they were considerably flushed with their success in driving from the place Deputy Sheriff Cluley and his little baud of 10 deputies, but they only told their vic tory in the renewed confidence which sur rounded them. There was no demonstra tion or applause. On the surface there is no indications of' an outbreak, but their dis position to get together promptly and effectively when action is required indi cates studied orders and. strict obedience. The leaders of the working people meet al most hourly and there is not a move made by their followers or by the s.teel company that is not thoroughly canvassed and dis cussed. The Workingmen' Recognized Leader. Hugh O'Donn&ll is now and has been the recognized leader of the workmen. He is a bright, courageous fellow, who is not easily disturbed. He recognizes a dangerous foe in the Carnegie Company, yet he is hopeful that the demands ot the men will be granted. He has heretofore refused to discuss the strike. Last night, however, he talked freely to a Dispatch man. "What is the optlook at this time?" was asked Mr. O'Donnell. "There is a feeling of unrest and un certainty here. As far as we know as an organization there is no evidence of violence on the part of any of our men." "Do vou anticipate any viqlence?" "No,I do not. Our men are thoroughly organized not to commit any depredations, but to protect their interests and their homes." "Will vour men submit to the authority of the Sheriff?' "Yes, certainly;' wo have already sub mitted to the Sheriff of Allegheny county the names of 100 men, all responsible citi zens, property owners and the persons who will act with him in keeping the peace. The men whom wc proposed to the Sheriff each agreed to give bonds in any sum from fl,000 to (10,000 for the faithful performance of any- legitimate duty assigned by the Sheriff " j "How many tnett are engaged In the lockoui?" "About 3,800 men. About 12,000 souls 1892 - TWELVE RAGES. are directly interested and indirccily 23,000 people arc affected." 'DEPUTY CLDLEY'S STORY. His Fores Was Powerless to Resist the Workers Believes the Leader Were Unable to Control Their Men Resistance W onla Have Cost Them Their Wyes. Deputy Sheriff Samuel B. Cluley was seen last evening by a reporter for The Dispatch, after his return from Home stead, and he told the following story: ff Alter snerm McUleary and ex-M, sg -Tect to gecure evidence," said one Gray returned from Homestead in the Vtf.fV w. "") 'iyes yesterday, "which we uuuu a was uetauea Dy me onerin lopiey-uf r A " t0 support autneomee lorce and go up there. We went to Homestead on the 4 o'clock train and landed at ihe Homestead station. There were just a dozen of us. When we alighted from the train we went at once to the head quarters of the Advisory Committee. There we had a conference. I told them, as spokesman for the party, that we desired to put half a dozen men inside the works to guard the property. The committee agreed to it, and said that the deputies to be put inside would not be molested. We left them and started for the mill. When we arrived at the line of the fence we were sur rounded by at least 200 men at once. Where they came from I have no idea. Conld Not Enter the Works. "A man who seemed to be the leader came up to me and said: 'Where are you men going?' I told him, we were deputy sher iffs and that we intended to put some men inside the works. The leader said: 'You can't do it.' I then told him-that we bad secured the consent of the Advisory Com mittee. He answered that it made no dif ference; we could not put a man into the mill. I told him to walk down the track Dissolving the Advisory Committee of Fifty. with me a short distance and that we might meet some members of the Advisory Com mittee. He consented and we started. "I never saw a crowd grow so in my life. As we approached the gate of the works our way was barred and the leader of the men said: rYou can go no further.' There must have been a thousand men there. What conld a dozen of us do against them? In fact, 500 deputy sheriffs could have done nothing. I concluded that the best thing we could do was to go back and go to head quarters. This we finally did and the men cheered us. uarters of ihe Advisory Committee and had a talfc. They said the same thing they said before, that we could put men into the mill; but I found that they were absolutely powerless to control their own men. They could not keep them away, and while we were talking the nail was surrounded by an assemblage of at least 3,000 men. "At lost, after much talking, one of the committemen said: 'I think the best thing you boys can do is to get out' I thought the same thing, and we filed out. At the foot ot the stairs we were received with cheers, and two men said to me, 'Come on.' As a matter of cold fact, we came on. They conducted ns to the river, put us on the steamer Edna, and carried us down stream to Glenwood. There we were landed and took the Second avenue car, and came to town. That's all there is in it. We were simply powerless there. Had we resisted it was simply a question1 of losing our lives without any chance of effecting any good." NO THREATS MADE. Secretary tovejoy Denies That Mr. Frick Has Received Any Threatening .Letters Work Laid Out for Private Detec tives A Workers' Committoe Looking for Them. A story yesterday reached The Dis patch to the effect that H. C. Frick, the head of the reorganized Carnegie Steel Company, had received letters threatening his life and that he had engaged two detec tives to guard the entrance to his offices at 42 Fifth avenue. A call was made yesterday afternoon at the offices of the Carnegie Steel Company to ascertain the truth of the report The information was given out to all inquirers who are not known that Mr. Frick was out of the city. Mr. Frick was at the office all day. Secretary Lovejoy said, In answer to in quiries, that Mr. Frick had not received as yet a single threatening letter. It had not, Mr. Lovejoy said, yet come to the point when detectives were needed. Mr. Love joy said that the latest reports from Home stead were that all was quiet, but, he said, there would soon be a movement by the company which would tell. The workmen, he said, would find that when the time came to operate the mills, the company was pre pared. Tho Mills Hid Made, Money. Mr. Lovejoy also denied a story which has been going the rounds lately that the firm hAd lost a larcc amount of monev at the Homestead mills during the past year. He said that there had been profits, but that they were small. "The work we have done for the Government," said Mr. Love joy, "has been largely experimental, and we do not yet know whether there will be any profit in the work for us. The Govern ment has been frequently changing the mixture on us, having us making every sort of composition from pure steel of the best quality to the newest processes making nickel steel. The Weaver process Is the latest. There havo been during the past VI months, a small profit on the operational the Homestead mills. Of course, we are not in business for fun." A reporter for The Dispatch took his stand tor half an hour opposite the office of the Carnegie Steel Company on Fifth ave nue, and during that time five detectives, connected with the Perkins and Gilkinson agencies, passed up and down the block be tween Wood and Market streets. One or two of them were approached by a man well acquainted with them, but they were non-committal in regard to their duties. One of them would go only so far as to say that he was waiting to "see a man from Homestead. Kceelvlns Six Repor's n Day. The Carnegie Steel Company receives re ports by messengers from Homestead six times a day. The first messenger leaves the works at 8:23 in the morning. The second one leaves an hour later, the third at 11:43, the fourth at a little before I, the fifth at 2:40 and the Bixth at 4 P. M. The mes sengers keep the firm posted on all that transpires up tne river, xney ao tneir jjp work silently and without attracting obser vation, taking the train at Munhall and no trying to run the gauntlet of the Homestead guards. A large numberof private detectives hare been employed by the Carnegie Steel Com pany to go to 'Homestead this morning. They expect that the attentiou of the work men will be occupied by the embouchement of 50 deputy sheriffs" into the borough. These private detectives will go under various disguises, as agents of tobacco houses, clothing establishments and whole sale jewelry stores. "- The Object of the Detectives. the claim tSkp-fo;yt?in workmen at Homestefcj'' , their Jfpithna' with citizens in lf w we can secure this end wee an- Jinction will be re quested from the county courts to restrain the leaders and all their abettors at Home stead from interfering in any way with strangers who go into Homestead." Late last night a committee of Amalga-V mated men from Homestead came to the city. They had received information that the chief of a private detective bureau had establithed headquarters away from his regular office and was endeavoring to secure the services of 100 men to ship by boat to Homestead in the early morning, and were endeavoring to locate the men. A NIGHT MOVEMENT. The Steamer Tide Tows r BaTgeload of Men to Homestead to Sarpriso the Workmen Berore Dawn A Scout Sends an Alarm From Pittsburg'. A scouting committee composed'of three of the locked-out Homestead workers spent last night watching the river from in this city. Shortly before 2 o'clock this morn ing one of the men saw the steam er Tide going up the Mononga helo. She had a model barge in tow freighted with men. The scout hailed the boat and asked where it was go ing, but received no answer. Confident that the craft was on its way to Homestead and hoping to find the men off their guard,he hurried to a telegraph office and sent the following message to a leader of the men at Homestead: "Watch the river. Steamer with barges left here." Inat this message received a ready re sponse was shown by the following dispatch received ten minutes Inter from a staff" cor respondent of The Dispatch: "I have In formation at this hour, 2 a. M., that 100 special deputies are coming here early this morning. At headquarters they are now preparing for the arrival of the depu ties. Headquarters have tip and general alarm will be sounded in five minutes." What such an alarm sounded at nearly 3 o'clock in the morning means at Homestead can be readily guessed. After the exciting incidents of the day, the several thousand idle workmen retired to rest, leaving their necessary watchmen. To be wakened at that hour by an alarm agreed upon to mean danger to their interests will bring every workman out on the street in five minutes. The steamer Tide must have loaded her cargo of human freight somewhere down the river. She lay at the Sraithfield street bridge all' day, , and evidently dropped down stream nnder caver of darkness to take on board, the deputies. The workmen were not the only scouts out last night When the Homestead man rushed into the telegraph office to send his message of warning he was closely followed by a good looking and well dressed young fellow employed in the Carnegie offices. The latter missed the workman for a mo ment and when he recovered the trail the wire had done its work and all Homestead was aroused. THE STORIES DIFFER. Reports of Governor Pattlson'a Position at Atlantle City and Harrlshnrg Fall to Acre He Does and He Doea Not Ap prehend Difficulty. Interviews with Governor Pattison yes terday at Harrisburg and Atlantic City, telegraphed to The Dispatch, are strik ingly different in tone. The dispatch from Harrisburg says: "Governor Pattison, on his return from Atlantic City to-night, was asked if he intended to visit the Carnegie works at Homestead in response to the request of people in that place. The Governor replied that he had, received no personal information relative to the trouble at Homestead and that he did not apprehend any serious difficulty as the employes at the works involved in the con troversy were generally intelligent and law abiding and would not be found committing anv overt act The Governor seemed to think that the matter in dispute (the adjustment of a scale ot wages; would be amicably settled. It is not likely that the Governor will visit Homestead, under existing circumstances at least. He has received no information" sug gesting the presence of the military, and ap pears to think the civil authorities of Alle gheny county would be fully able to cope with anv emercrencv that mieht arise from the contention between employes and em ployed. This dispatch was followed by annother from Atlantic Citjr of a very different tenor. It reads: "Early this morning Governor Pattison received a telegram from the Chairman of the committee of strikers at Carnegie's steel mills at Homestead, Pa., urging him to come to the scene of action at once aud personally investigate the situation. The rcq'uest was positive and Gov ernor Pattison lost no time in putting himself in communication with Attorney General Henscl. The strikers claimed that the managers at Carnegie's bad acted in a manner contrary to the laws ot Pennsylvania, and they wished it under stood that legal redress would be sought for early and persistently. A half dozen tele grams passed between the Chief Executive and his Attorney General, and in the end Gov.

ALL EXCITEMENT IN ENGLAND NOW, The latest Election Eetnrns Show a Heated and Close Contest. STANLEY IS A FAILURE, Losing His District in Darkest Lon don by a Narrow Margin. The General Drift Still Regarded as . Favorable to Gladstone Some Nita ble Candidates Have Met Defeat The Part Played by the Labor Move ment Hovr Property Owners Can Legally Vote Early and Often Des perate Tories Resorting to Poetry. BY CABLE TO TDK DISPATCH.J ONDON.JulyB. Copyrighted. To-day's poll ings's have not afforded much justification for loud exultation by any party. The gains balance the losses as be tween Tory and Liberal, and Mr. Gladstone is still only eight seats to the good on two days' fight ing. But he will be doubtless sat isfied on learning how the' mugwump Lib eral "Unionists have fared, for the electoral indications so far point to the utter rout of that party save in Birmingham, where Joseph Chamberlain's influence is appar ently paramount Among the prominent Liberal Unionists who have failed to secure election to-day are Joseph Chamberlain's brother Richard, Lewis Fry and Henry M. Stanley. The seats contested to-day were not particularly favorable to Liberal gains. The elections to-morrow will furnish a net gain of ten, according to present indications. A. Night of Excitement in London. Fleet street, the Park Bow of London, and the vicinity of the National Liberal Club, of which Gladstone is President, are crowded with shouting Britons. At 12 o'clock to-night boys are selling extras on the streets far into West End, and the liveried servants ot the big clubs Stanley Making a fruitless Appeal to London Voters. in Pall Mall, Piccadilly and St Jame3 street are continually rushing out to buy newspapers containing the latest returns. The editorials in Conservative Journals are hysterical and many Tory voters are dropping into poetry. Sir Lepel Griffin takes up a quarter of a column of the Standard this morning with verse3 entitled "The Slave Market," of which the most striking stanzas are: But listen to-dav to the roar of a hundred thousand tbroats. Where Gladstone Is selling a slave for a handful of Irish votes: While above tumult stands Erin, her whits limbs stripped and bare. With the hot tears In her sort blue eves and shamrocks twined In her hair. She is treading the bitter path she so oft through the azes has trod, And appeals from the madness of men to the infinite Justice of God. Another Notable Defeat. The defeat of Henry Broadhurst, the great labor organizer, at Nottingham yes terday has received a set-off to-day by the defeat at Nottingham of Edward "Heneage, the Liberal Unionist, who formerly held office under Gladstone as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Heneage is per sonally unpopular and his defeat by several hundred votes is not received altogether unfavorably even among some of his col leagues. Heneage is a very wealthy man who de lights in pictures and art treasures and rn'ubs every one whom he thinks is less fortunately placed than himself. He is a big man after the Harcourt build and did not like being bullied on the platform by some of bis fisherman constituents, who occasionally yelled that they would like to have him for a month's cruise as a deck hand in the herring fleet They told him that he had a lot to learn before he could fittingly represent the fishing port of Grims by. Heneage was defeated by 700. At the last Gladstone Beading the Returns. election he had over a thousand majority in his favor. The Broadhurst fight was a hot one. He was opposed by Colonel Seely a large employer of labor and a colliery owner. There are over 2,000 miners voters in the costituency. Broadhurst declined to support an eight-hour legal working day but Colonel Seely made this his chief plank. How Ons Seat Was Lost.
