my power, I have failed to secure a'posse
respectable enough in numbers to accom
plish anytlilng,and I am satisfied thntno
posse raised by -civil authorities can do any
thing to change tSio condition of affairs, and
that any attempt by an inadequate force to
restore the right of law will only result in
further armed resistance and consequent
loss or life. Only a large military force will
enable mc to control matters. I believe if
such force is sent the disorderly element
will be overawed and order will be restored.
I therefore call upon you to furnish me such
assistance. William McCleabt, Shoiifl.
The Reply of the Governor.
The Governor sent the following reply to
Sheriff McCleary:

Mobilization of the Troops,
Major General Snowden, Adjutant Gen
eral Greenland and other officers of the
National Guard
have been busy
for hours making
preparations for
the mobilization of
troops in compli
ance with the or
der of the Gov
ernor. They will
be dispatched t o
the scene of the
trouble as expedi
tiously as possible. Colonel P. DPerchment.

Greenland was of the opinion this after
noon that the Second Brigade would be
. sufficient to meet the Homestead emer-irenoy.-but
Governor Pattison thought the
"most effective way to bring the trouble to
Hip
m?
ibfe"''' Willi
nn early conclusion was by calling out the
entire National Guard.
Major General Snowden has telegraphed
orders to the three Brigadier Generals of
the division relative to the movement of
their commands. The order to General
Eobert P. Dechert, of the First Brigade,
was made public. It is as follows:
The First Brigade to Reserve.
In compliance with orders from the Com
mander In Chief you will concentrate your
command at Mt. Gretna by to-morrow
(Monday), ana there await further orders,
battery liorse'l. Take with you three days
rations and all the ammunition on hand.
The first troop (mounted) will move on tho
llrst train avallablo on the Pennsylvania
Railroad toward the West.
The order to General Gohin, of the Third
Brigade, does not differ materially from
that issued to General Dechert, except that
it directs him to concentrate his men at
Lewistown. The orders to Major General
Wylie, of the Second Brigade were not

that his brigade is to be the advance guard
of the State militia.
To Concentrate Near Homestead.
His point of concentration was not made
public by General Snowden, but is under
stood to be at Brinton, four miles from
Homestead. General Wylie Is directed to
exercise great precaution to secure a safe
and successful movement, which command
is omitted in the orders to the other brigade
commanders.
Major General Snowden says the entire
National Guard can be massed at the scene
of trouble within 24 hours, but the First
and Third brigades may not get farther than
the points at which they are to concentrate.
General Snowden's attention was called
to the fact that the strikers were armed
with the celebrated Winchester rifles, and
the suggestion was made that they were
liable to do effective work with them. He
replied that the Springfield muskets of the
National Guard were more serviceable than
the Winchesters, as more steady aim could
be taken. The fact thatrthe Winchester
rifles were repeaters did .not make them
more effective than the arms of the National
Guard.

The action of the Governor in suddenly
calling out the troops has created consider
able excitement here, as it had been gener
ally believed that the movement would not
be made until another collision ensued. The
tone of the Governor's talk since the
eruption at Homestead has been pacific
rather than warlike. He has been uni
formly declaring against an appeal to arms
in the settlement of the controversy be
tween the Carnegie Steel Company and its
thousands of employes unless he had con
clusive evidence of the inability of the civil
authorities to command peace, and express
ing the hope that peaceful arbitration would
follow the bloody conflict perpetrated by
the introduction of armed Pinkerton men
to enable the Carnegie Company to resume
operations without the employment of
members of the Amalgamated Association.
Reason for the Change of Position.
Adjutant General Greenland's return to
the capital, and the news he conveyed to
the Governor since his arrival as to the real
condition of things at Homestead, effected a
JS ga dur General Jolm A. Wttej, Commandin
Second Brigade.
change in the mind of the Chief Executive,
so far as his rosy anticipations of peace were
concerned. The Adjutant General, who has
made as thorough an inquiry into 'the situa
tion as possible, at a protracted conference
with the Governor to-day is understood to
have talked into the ears of the Governor
many important facts indicating the near
anproach of a collision between the corpo
ration and its old employes which, in view
of the apparent inefficiency of Sheriff Mc
Cleary and the disinclination of the citizens
ot Allegheny to do deputy duty, .would re
sult in military intervention to vindicate
he majesty of the law.
Adjutant General Greenland told the
Governor that the Carnegie Company had
costroL of the inside of the works, but the
locxed-out workmen were in control en the
outside, and that in his opinion any Attempt;

industrial establishment, or any effort at
necessary repairs, would be resisted by the
strikers.
The Adjutant General expressed the hope
that the beautiful Sunday night would
mollify the existing sentiment of the dis
satisfied workmen and teach them the
wisdom of not interfering by force with,
any movement of the Carnegie Company to
resume operations.
Pinkertonlim Like a Red Flap.
The Adjutant General thought the
aneasy feeling existing among the strikers
was due largely to an apprehension that
Pinkerton people would make another
attempt to obtain control of the works.
But for this specter the situation would be
much more satisfactory.
While 'the se'ntiment in Pittsburg and
vicinity was favorable to the stand the
Governor has taken in not rashing troops
to the scene of disturbance, the Adjutant
General reported that the opinion prevailed
largely among the people in the neighbor
hood that the trouble at the Carnegie works
would culminate in an open conflict against
the employment of non-union labor, the
failure1 of the Sheriff to suppress it, and the
consequent interposition of the military
arm of the State Government.
The Adjutant General has had an inter
view with Manager Friok, of the Carnegie
works, and reports him firm in his purpose
not to have any further dealings with mem
bers of the Amalgamated Association. The
Adjutant General said the National Guard
was never in better shape to suppress law
lessness, It comprises about 8,000 officers
and men, who are generally well disci
plined. He had several conferences with
Governor Pattison to-day.

General Dechert said to-night that he
could not tell what time he would be able
to get his brigade away, as he has not had
the opportunity to make arrangements for
transportation. The news of the ordering
out ot the guards did not spread rapidly,
owing, probably, to the lateness of the
hour at which the order was issued, and to
the fact that many of the men were out of
the city.
At none of the armories at midnight was
there more than half a dozen men as

rsPECIAI, TELICBAJI TO TtTC DtSFATCII.1
Homestead, July 11. Shortly after
midnight this morning a hurried call
was sent out for a meeting ot the Advisory
Committee,to consider the attitude which
should be assumed toward the militia. The
intention was that the committee'should
take definite action and that the great army
of strikers shall be called upon to observe
implicitly the recommendations of this com.
mittee. The meeting was to be held at a
private residence behind closed doors at 1
o'clock this morning, but at that hour there
had been no meeting and some of the lead
ers at headquarters refused to talk.
An Associafed Press Dispatch says: In
tense excitement was created at Home
stead late last night by the announcement
that the Pennsylvania militia, 8,000 strong,
had been ordered out and would arrive in
Homestead to-day.- The news flashed over
the wires to this city at 11. -01 p. jr., and a
few minutes later it had come to the ears of
the strikers. At first the report was re
ceived with incredulity, but a few inquiries
among the press representatives convinced
the men that it was right. Little groups
gathered at the street corners and the situa
tion was discussed in low, but earnest tones.
The men were at first disposed to be a
little defiant and there were occasional de
clarations that even the militia would be
opposed, but when it was learned that the
division ordered out numbered 8,000 men,
these declarations promptly gave way to
"Oh, -well, -we have beat the. Pinkertons
anyway. They jlldn if date to come," and
thusoomolatlpn' is found 'in the reflection
that the Pinkerton guards had been obliged
"to confess defeat and gave up th'e battle.
Will Make No Opposition.
The leaders of the workmen were unus
ually uncommunicative. "We cannot talk,"
was the response to all interrogations.
Later, the opinion was freely expressed by
the rank and file that the militia would be
received by no hostile demonstration, and
that an armistice would be declared until
after their departure. "But they will have
to go away some time," said the leader of a
little group near the depot, "and when they
do we would like to see them run the mill
non-union."
This was the general sentiment expressed.
As long as this army of militiamen are on
the ground they say there will be no oppo
sition from the workmen, no lawlessness and
no violent demonstrations. But it is said
that when the militia is withdrawn they will
compel the non-union workers to withdraw
by force if necessary. This was said to be
the plan of the workmen, and the chief fear
of their leaders was that the Carnegie Com
pany will hasten to install the non-union
men in the mills immediately upon th ear
rival of the militia. '
At midnight the horrible fear took pos
session of the strikers that the company
might even sneak in Pinkerton men in dis
guise of workmen while the militia held
possession, and as' such a move would mean
a practical triumph over the strikers, the
suspicion caused great perturbation. Al
together, the strikers were in a very uneasy
frame of mind late last night, and their
anxious faces gave evidence of their exoite
ment, Snlts Them First Bate.
Late last evening Burgess McLuckie, of
Homestead, was asked how he regarded the
latest news the calling out of the mllitia.
"That is right in our line. It suits us
first rate' he replied.
"How will the militia be received?"
"YTith open arms." "
"There will be no hostility?"
"None whatever. We will -receive them
in a fraternal spirit and accord to them that
respect due to the representatives of the
grandeur and dignity of the great State of
Pennsylvania. We have been expecting
them and we are giaa iney are coming.
There will not be the slightest opposition to
their presence nor the least manifestation
of unfriendliness."
"Do you fear that their -presence will be
taken advantage of by the company in an
effort to install non-union men in the mjll?"
"I do not think Governor Pattison has
said that the militia are to be used as
guards'and he is not sending them here for
that purpose. They will be kept here a few
days and when it is seen how peaceable
everything is I predict they will be with
drawn. The Sheriff has been insisting that
he could not keep the peace and I suppose
it has been finally determined to send the
troops here to see how necessary they are.
They will doubtless be received wtih re
spect. Our fight war against the Pinker
tons against the invasion of our homes by
an armed, illegal and disreputable private
army."
Views of Other leaders.
Mr. McLuckie's words are accepted as
indicating the tactics of the strikers. It
is said that there will - be no
opposition to the strikers ' and no
manifestations oPunfriendliness. But the
strikers are religiously relying upon the
Government to afinrd no assistance to the
company In the Installation of non-union
labor and are trusting that the troops may
be speedily -withdrawn, leaving tne situ
ation practically the same as before their
arrival. In that event they expect to be
able to continue to bar ont the non-union
workmen. . i
Hugh ODonnell, .the leader of the itrlk-
ers, was seen at midnight. He said, "I can
not believe it, I cannot believe it," when
informed that Governor Pattison had or
dered out the militia. The chairman of the
Advisory Committee was 'seen at his home
on Fifth avenue at midnight. He was in
formed that there was an apparently
founded report that Governor Pattison had
ordered out the .National Guard of the
State numbering, all told, over 8.000 men,
and that according to orders they would ar-1

6,000 men in the Second and Third Brigades,
and that many soldier's will be landed in
Homestead. Tbey will cross the river over
the Pennsylvania bridge at Port Perry
and reach Duquesne. From that- point the
boys will be marched into the town, or the
trains may be run direct to Homestead.
The Colonel could give no further informa
tion, but he thought some of the troops
would camp on the City Farm property.
The details have been worked out as to lo
cation of camps, eta, for a number of mili
tary men have made maps of the town and
surrounding country.
The National Guard of Pennsylvania con
sists of three brigades, or 15 regiments, one
battalion, three companies of artillery, three
troops of cavalry and one independent com
pany, in all about 8,400 officers and men.
The First Brigade, commanded by General
Robert Deckert, is made up of the First,
Second, Third and Sixth Begiments, the
Battalion of State Fencibles, Battery A,
the First City Troop of Cavalry and the
Gray Invinoibles, an independent colored
organization. All but the Sixth Begiment
are located in Philadelphia, That organi
zation is in Montgomery county.
The Third Brigade, commanded by Gen
eral J. P. 8. Gobin, consists of the Fourth,
Eighth, .Ninth, Iwelf th and Thirteenth
Begiments. The headquarters of the dif
ferent regiments are as follows: The Fourth
regiment at Beading, the Eighth at Wrights
ville and vicinity, Ninth at Wilkesbarre,
Twelfth at Willlamsirort and Thirteenth at
Seranton; also Battery C,of Phcenixvilleand
the Governor's Troop, of Harrisburg.
The Second Brigade commanded by Gen
eral John A. Wiley, is as follows: Fifth,
Colonel Burchfield, Altoona and vicinity:
Tenth, Colonel Hawkins, Washington and

and Eighteenth, Colonel Smith, Pittsburg:
Fifteenth, Colonel Kreps, Greenville and
Sixteenth, Colonel Hulings, Oil City; Bat
tery B, Captain Hunt, commanding and
Sheridan Troop, of Tyrone, Captain Jones
in command.
The First Brigade, whioh will be held in
reserve at Mt. Gretna, contains 2,500 men.
The regiments of this brigade intended to
go into camp next week, so that the State
, will not be out of pocket a great deal by the
order calling out tne troops. The boys are

Colonel Ferchment Says the Fourteenth
Regiment Is Thoroughly Equipped and
Well Disciplined Generals Greenland
and Wylie to Be Here This Mornlne-
As soon as the news reached The Dis
rATCH that the entire division of the Na
tional Guard was called out a reporter
went out to see Dr. P. D. Perch
ment, Colonel of the Fourteenth Begiment."
The house at 124 Collins avenue, Fast Lib
erty, was darkened for the night. The
Colonel was summoned and bis hearty,
stentorian voice was soon recognized at the
tube telephone over the bell handle.
The doctor expressed himself on the
situation in the following manner. "I had
not heard a word abont this. I saw Briga
dier General Wylie and Adjutant General
Greenland when they were here and neither
of them seemed to think that any step
would be taken for a few days. Generals
Wylie and Greenland before starting to
Franklin and Harrisburg respectively in
timated that they would return to Pittsburg
on Monday morning. It seems funny at first
sight that I should have heard this news
first from The Dispatch, but it is easily
explained when it is remembered that my
orders will have to come round through tho
Brigadier General. We shall probably
camp so as to be within easy reach and the
extra expense will be very little a3 the
whole division would have to camp some
where anyhow.
"The Fourteenth Begiment is in excel
lent condition. The accoutrements are in
good order, and there is a plentiful supply
of ammunition. There is a strong military'
spirit among the men, and every one that
answers the call to arms will do his duty
resolutely and obey his commands no mat
ter what they may be. We can turn out
from 40 to 50 men to each company and
with eight companies that means between
300 and 400 for the whole regiment. I
don't know for how long a time we may le
required, bnt of course we shall not be dis
missed until the safety of the men and mill
can be absolutely guaranteed."
Lieutenant Colonel Frank L Butledge
was sought at his home at number 244
Meadow street, East Liberty. But he had
not returned from the city and his family
supposed that he was at the armory.
PREPARING FOR ACTION.
i
Colonel Smith Pats In n Baiy NI;ht Mak
ing Arrangement.
Colonel Norman D. Smith, of the Eigh
teenth Begiment, did not learn that the
National Guard had been ordered out until
a late hour last night. He at once sprang
into a carriage and drove to the armory on
Diamond street and made preparations to
have the several companies in his command
in readiness to go to Homestead this morn
ing. When questioned as to what coure ho,
vonld pursue Colonel Smith said: "I have
only heard of the Governors action about
an hour ago and have had hardly time,
to even think over the situation.
I have not arranged any plan thus far,
except that I have taken steps ato have the
guards report to the armory promptly to
morrow." The Colonel spent- about fifteen
minutes in the armory after which he re
turned to his carriage and drove rapidly
away.
At 1 o'clock this morning quite a large
number of privates and non-commiisioned
officers had arrived at the barracks, The
scene was a busy one, most of the men be
ing engaged in shining up their guns and
getting their equipments ready.

When CoL Smith arrived at the Armory
shortly after 1 o'clock this morning his

Courtesy Some Points Guarded by
Carnegie Watchmen, Others by Rail
road Employes and a Few by the
Workers Some Surprise Manifested
at the Peaceful Appearance of tho
Borough.
Homestead was visited by 2,000 people
yesterday. They were coming and going
from early morning until late at night. The
majority of them were from Pittsburg, but
others from the towns up the river drove
and walked down. The roads leading in

and out of the little borough were black
with moving vehicles and pedes
trians. All of the visitors walked
the streets with as much freedom as the
Sunday saunterer on Fifth avenue in Pitts
burg. Unless previously informed, not one
of these visitors would have imagined for a
moment that the people of the borough had
participated in a tragedy less than five days
before which had attracted the attention of
the civilized world. All was peaceful, quiet
and calm.
The residents were out in their Sunday
attire. They sat in groups in front of the
stores and restaurants or quietly conversed
as they met on the sidewalks. Not a Win
chester or a drunken man was to be seen
anywhere. There were doubtless hundreds
of guns almost within reach, but they were
not visible to the uninitiated. In fact, there
was nothing more to be seen in Homestead
yesterday, than in thousands of borough3
and villages- throughout the United States.
The locked-out men have not relaxed their
vigilance an iota. On the surface they are
careless, but under this veneering is an
alertness which defies surprise.
Visitors Were Not Molested.
There were many of them around the
railroad stations while the trains were
coming in, but not a visi
tor was molested' or questioned
regarding his business. It is large bodies
of men they are looking for, and it would
be utterly impossible for an armed corps to
assemble in or about Homestead. The
workers realize that detectives could easily
visit the town, but it is not one, two or a
score of detectives they fear. They are free
from any danger) of assault from these, and
their secrets are guarded sacredly.
The visitors who strolled aimlessly about
the streets appeared awed and expectant.
From the reports they have been reading
they inferred that on every street corner a
man with a Winchester would demand their
business. In this they were all agreeably
disappointed. There were one or two
places where they were stopped.
Thev were stopped by the watch
men of the P., V. & O. railroad
from traversing its tracks between the high
board fences built by the steel company,
and that put up by the authorities around
the City Farm. This was to prevent acci
dents to trespassers. They were stopped by
the watchmen of the steel company from
going inside the gates in the famous board
fence. This was to prevent any disguised
workers from getting in and tak
ing the plant. At least that
was the reason assigned by a watchman at
one of the gates, and not a face in the crowd
of awe-stricken listeners was relieved by a.
smile.
Stopped at the Fence.
The other point at which the visitors
were stopped was by pickets from the ranks
of the workers at the fence where
the Pemicky Eailroad crosses the
City Farm. This was 'the most direct
rouje to the scene of Wednesday's conflict,
and by it the mill can be entered. Hun
dreds of sightseers went up the track only
to meet half a dozen brawny men, who
politely but firmly notified them that
further progress would be attended with
trouble. All then decided that they were
as near the battle ground as they cared tot
ga The pickets were ready and willing to
describe the fight, and show any points of
interest which could be seen from the City
Farm station on the Pemickey.
' Every skiff from lock No. 1 to McKees
port was in demand, and the river was
covered with them, for only by the river
could a view of the scene of battle be ob
tained Those who did go up along the
bank in skiffs were evidently disappointed.
. "There is nothing there bnt the works
and the bank," one disgusted individual re
marked when be disembarked.
"Well, what did you expect to see, a lot
ot dead Pinkertons and honest workmen, or
burning barges? Ton make me tired," and
the workman who fired this little broadside
of sarcasm walked away. ,
No Buccaneers In Bight.
It was an actual disappointment to many
of the visitors that every other man tbey
met did not look like a high pirate, or a
buccaneer, with pistols and knives at belt
and guoi inhli huds. In consequence tk'
