KOT POLICY TO DECIDE AT PRESENT
Pittsburg Councils will meet in special
cession to-morrow or "Wednesday. It was
reported yesterday that a meeting wonld be
held to-day, but as none of the members
bW receiTed the customary notice ud until
last nichl it is not believed posiible a meet
ing can be held before to-morrow.
The special object of the meeting seems to
be the passage of street ordinances ap
proved by tLe Corporation Committee on
Saturday,- improvement ordinances op
prsved"by the Public "Works Committee,
severaT other measures of minor import
ance and a number of contracts let by the
department chiefs:
.tfls likely a communication of interest
from the JIayor will be a feature of the
meeting, but the most interesting subject at
this time expected will be a proposition to
return-to Andrew Carnegie the 1,000,000
he gave to the city to be used in erecting a
free library at Schenley Park.
IIuw Conncllmrn View the Girt.
Various labor organizations have within
the past three days passed strong resolu
tions demanding that Councils take such ac
tion, and it was stated yesterday that a
member of councils had already volunteered
to present a resolution to that effect An
effort was made to find out who the mem
ber was and what the character of the pro
posed resolution would be, but it proved
ineffectual. In visting various members of
Councils their opinions were asked as to the
probable fate of such a resolution.
Councilman John J. King is enthusiastic
in his support of the measure and says: "I
shall certainly vote to refund the money if
it is possible to do so. I am opposed to
raising monuments to Carnegie with money
that represents the sweat of the working
men. It would only be erecting a mem
orial to Carnegie which the people
of Pittsburg will literally have to take care
of, while he will get all the glory of it.
The events at Homestead justify us in re
turning the money. The differences be
tween capital and labor should be settled in
a business-like way, and not by shooting
men down. There is no excuse for bringing
Piukertons to Homestead and Carnegie de
serves this rebuke.
King Wants the Money Returned.
"The library is to be located in Schenley
Park where it will be out of the way of the
working people, and those whom it would
most benefit would not be able to avail
themselves of it It would be a good busi
ness move to give the money back, because
the city cannot row really afford to give
the money to keep it, up. It is more
needed rtfothefdirefctions." '
'I heartily indorse the action of these
workingmen," said Councilman James Mc
Hugb. "In 20 years the city will have as
much money invested in the library as Car
negie, vet the city will get no credit for it
I say give it back" and in time some one who
is really philanthropic will give us a
library. It otherwise we could appropriate
each year the money it would cost to- main
tain the one offered, and in 20 years we
could build a library that belonged to the
people and it would not be an advertise
ment lor any particular man."
Councilman Donghue spoke in the same
strain, and said he was willing that the city
should return the money. He did not be
lieve in building monuments with money
made by cutting down wages of working
men. B-vond tlin Power of Councils,
Councilman "W. A. JIagee, a member of
the Library Commission, took a different
view of the matter, and said he doubted
hethcr Councils had power to return the
money. Said he: "Councils no longer has
control of the money. It is in the hands
oi the Library Commission and Councils
has signed a contract to give 40,
O00 a year. "We cannot break the
contract and as Mr. Carnegie controls
the board, they., will not They can build
the library," ahd"'if the city does not pay
up they can go into court, mandamus the
controller, and compel him to pay the
money.
"It is not a question that should be set
tled just now any way. The entire cift for
the library and the endowment'
for an art gallerv and museum
amounts to about 'S2,100,000. Ko
matter how Mr. Carnegie got this money,
be has it If it belongs to the working
people this is a good way of getting it
back, ar.dwhy not take it"
John S. Lambie, also a member of the
commission, said:
Slight Repeal the Ordinance.
"I doubt whether the agreement with the
Librarv Commission can be called a con
tract. Councils could repeal its ordinance
ot acceptance, but I don't know just what
effect that would have.
"At all events I doubt whether it is advis
able at this time to take hasty action. There
is too much feeling just now and this matter
should be done deliberately. , The money is
now in the bands of Ilr. Prick as secretary
ot the commission."
Select Councilman John Lauhran, of the
Thirty-third ward, said that he had not
given the matter any thought and was not
prepared to say what he would do. '"The
sentiment I have heard exprassd," he said,
"is against receiving the giltbut as to what
I think, will require some deliberation."
Councilman William Kolden, ot the
Thirtieth ward, said: "The idea of erecting
a million-dollar monument to Carnegie will
be a blot on this community forever."
Common Councilman Rmsell and
O'Donnell were both backward about dis
cussing the subject, prefering to think it
over before saying what they would da
Mr. O'Donnell's manner suggested that he
was not hostile to such a resolution though
he would not talk for publication.
Mayor Gourley also declined to talk but
in response to the direct question, "Would
you sign the resolution it Councils passed
it?" he answered, "I believe I would."
SO KOBE PINKEBTONa
Important Conference Between City Of
ficial and B. C Trick.
At H. C. Prick's office on Saturday after
noon here was an interesting conference.
Mayor Gourley, Chief Brown, City Attor
ney Moreland and two or three other of
ficials called on Mr. Prick without previous
arrangement to discuss the Homestead situ
ation. Mr. Frick received them cordially.
The City Attorney, as spokesman for the
party, opened the busines of the confer
ence by stating that as officials of the city
he and th&gentlemen with him desired to
toy that if any more Pinkerton detectives
were to be brought to Homestead they must
be kept-out ot Pittsburg. If the men were
(broucbt to this city to be groused, massed,
armed or otherwise prepared for a fewtile
demonstration at Homestead or elsenhere
every man of them would be looked up as
breakers of the peace and further proceed
ings instituted If necessary. The reason
given for this statement was that the pres
ence of- the Pinkertons in this city would
be offensive to the majority of the people
in the city and might precipitate a riot
within the city limits.
Mr. Prick, after some discussion, prom
ised the officials 'that he would not, for
the present, introduce any more Pinkerton
men at Homestead and that therefore the
wishes of the officials would be respected.
He stated further that he had no quarrel
with tho Homestead strikers. He had
simply discharged them and there was no
further communication between them and
the company.
LETTERS TO THE WORKMEN.
Encourajfnt; and SnccetlTo Epistles Re
ceived bj I ngn, O'rVjnnell Proposition
for a Lefcal Contest From a Washington
Lawyer Anarchist tot tern.
Despite the fact that Homestead's post
master is a firm believer in the Sunday
closing law and religiously refrains from
distributing any mail on the first day of
the week, Mr. Hugh O'Donnell material
ised at the official press bureau at early even
tide yesterday, literally loaded down with
letters and official looking documents. After
exchanging the conventional courtesies of
the day with the assembled scribes, ,Mr.
O'Donnell, who wore a white cravat arid a
ministerial air, deposited his burden on one
of the marble-top tables, and prefaced his
remarks with the age-stained announce
ment that the situation remained unchanged
and that there was really "nothing new."
"I have, however," continued O'Donnell,
"a numberof letters anbTtelegranis whicn I
propose to read to youl"
Washington Lawyer'a J3azcotln.
One letter was Jrorn, Horace L. Stiles, a
lawyer of Washington, D. CL, urging that
"The Advisory Committee reorganize,
legally incorporate and then, filing a bill in
equity, claim a legal lien upon. the com
pany's property." -"Asyou-are in possess
ion, "says the letter, "the company could
not eject you as summarily as they seem
disposed to do. Let your committee an
nounce that your possession is under color
of title and demand of the Sheriff that he
show legal warrant for your dispossession.
Get the best legal talent of Pittsburg,
Harrisburg and Philadelphia, and give"
them a battle royal and institute criminal
process against Mr. Frick tor murder and
treason."
This letter was read with considerable in
terest, and at its conclusion Mr. O'Donnell
stated as the Amalgamated Association was
represented by three of the leading lights
ot the Allegheny county bar, the suggestion
would be referred to them.
A New York Anarchist wrote a letter
suggesting that the existing difficulties
could onlv be adiusted" on the lines of eter
nal fitness by 100 pounds of metal being
tied to Manager Frick and that individual
cast into the Mouongahelarher. Another
man enclosed a drawing of a cheap and
effective dynamite gun which "anybody can
use on short notice," "which letters and
suggestions," said O'Donnell, are calculated
to injure our cause. "The world knows I
have no anarchistic tendencies. A fair
field and no favor is my idea."
Urging Arbitration and Peac?.
Another letter was as follows:
Philadelphia, Pa , July 9.
Iluch O'Donnell, Esq., Homestead, Pa.:
Uespected Sir On behalf of tho Universal
Union. In the Interest ot peace through jus
tice and arbitration, I write you to ascertain
If you and those joii represent will not sub
mit yonr grievances to wiso and itnpaitlal
arbitrationT The Peaoo Union has a com
mittee or arbitration and has had remark
able success In many controversies. We
may- be of use to you In this critical Junc
ture. We have addressed Carnegie. Fnipps
& Co. in the same spirit. In the Interest of
iustlce, humanity and pe.ico, how much
better to reler this difficulty to arbitration
and thus conciliate ull conflicting matters.
Shall ba pleased to hear from you if you re
ceive our letter and you can bring about the
reference I refer to for the good of all.
Tours truly,
Alfred IT. Love,
President of the Universal l'eace Union. '
The proprietor of a general store in Iowa
wrote that under no circumstances would he
sell any stuff stamped with the Carnegie
trademark, and in his anxiety to show his
svmpathy entirely lost sight of the fact
that as a rne country stores do not deal iu
steel bars or armor plate. A man in Mil
waukee urged the strikers to hold out for
ever, and a woman in Portland, Me., cov
ered four pages of dainty note paper in
voicing her feelings on the subject ot labor.
A telegram from the Central Labor Union
ot Chicago stated that that organization,
consisting ot more than 20,000 working
men, extended its sympathy, and was ready
on call to furnish financial support to the
locked-out men of Homestead. After the
serious letters had all been read, Mr. O'Don
nell drained a glass ot lemonade, and, with
a smile, produced a big roll ot letters.
Contributions From Cranks.
"Thee," he said, as he undid the fasten
ings, "are contributions from cranks, An
archists, etc. I will only read one, which
to my mind contains sufficient humor to
lighten up the gloom of your reports. Here
is the letter:
New York, July 9.
o the People of Homestead:
I would suggest that if any more barsos
are brought to Homestead with Pinkertons
on board that you get a good sized Iran sjoai
and cover It over with sheet Iron heavy
enough to be bullet proof, and have a small
hole in the bow for a nozzle and also a row
of o. e-elghth holes for peep holes. Start the
boat down the river with the tide and have
two men on board, one with the oais
and the other with a baud pump and a bar
rel of oil. Hake fast to the barges and pump
oil on them through the nozzle on the bow,
then shove out a torch of naming oil waste
and set fire to them. Then pull out and
drift down the river with the tide.
Ose Wao Knows.
P, S. Studytbe Idea,
A Pinkerton Man's Grjtltmlr.
The last letter read by O'Donnell was one
signed by one ot the Pinkerton men who
participated in last Wednesday's battle on
the river front. The letter was a personal
one. to O'Donnell, and,despite the pleadings
of the newspaper men, that gentleman
wonld only read one extract from it The
latter was dated Pittsburg and this extract
was given out:
Hugh O'Donnell:
Dear Sir I wish to thank you for tho
courtesy which you unconsciously extended
to me last (Wednesday) evening. You must
pardon my saying that while walking
along by your side 1 was not only talking to
you bnt a close observer ot the surround

S ears or my lite, no matter how many. In

West, nnd am a slight Judge of nerve and

At this interesting juncture O'Donnell
blushed, and in a pleasant voice said:
"Gentlemen, I am a modest man, and do'
not desire to read further. It relates only
to me and to what I did iu protecting the
man from the crowd."

armed body of men In a State of
free citizens, Chicago Union No. 16 hereby
pledges its sympathy, support and hearty
encoraement of the recent suggestion that
workingmen organize armed military com
panies to. protect themselves against inva
sion of the said Pinkerton detectives and
the disastrous effects of the presence of
these unscrupulous and unpatriotic mercen
aries in times of labor trouble.
A telegram was ordered sent to Hugh
O'Donnell, one of the leaders at Home
stead, to the above effect

the following resolutions:

the State has the right to rezulate the con

interest, certainly throw a gleam of light
on the situation. As the State Is bonnd to
protect tho lndtvldnal citizen In his property

the power to interfere except with the pro

SO CHAIRMAN YET.
Sam Fessenden Refuses to Manage
the President's Campaign.
SENATOR SAWYER K0W SLATED,
Though General Michener Mar Have
Undertake the Job.
to
HARRISON TO BE HIS OWN CHAIRMAN
SPECIAL RllOIUUr TO TUB DISFJLTCIt.1
New York, July 10. Hon. Sam Fessen
den, of Connecticut, has been invited to be
come Chairman ot Harrison's National
Campaign Committee. ' Mr. Fessenden sent
a reply to-day! declining to accept the
honor. General Michener's name had been
mentioned for a week, but no word comes
from him as to his intentions. Talk about
Hon. Tom Carter's taking the place
has been revived. He ' Js - a Federal
officeholder, and the President has a claim
upon him. The President's hold on Gen
eral Michener is not so direct, though Gen
eral Mlchener would, it is said, do anything
in reason to oblige his old partner, Colonel
W. W. Dudley, who for two years now has
been' permitted to bask In the warmest
corners of the pension bureau.
The situation is becoming almost ludi
crous. This is the comment of Republicans
quite as much as of Democrats. Republi
cans say that the President has only to offer
the place to a Republican not directly con
nected with his administration to meet with
a courteous and yet positive declination.
He is practically at odds with all the old
warhorses who won his battle for him four
years ago. He must now rely upon a Re
publican who, as beneficiary of his adminis
tration, conld scarcely refuseto give value
received.
Sawyer May Have to Take It
The majority of the Executive Committee
just appointed by Mr, Campbell favor the
appointment of "Uncle" Phlietus Sawyer,
of Oshkosh, the, lumber king. He is 76
years old, robust and hearty, a keen politi
cian of the old Vermont school, and thor
oughly familiar with the crafty ways of the
Bepublicans of the woolly Northwest
Senator Sawyer's experience has been
prodigious. Originally a Green Mountain
boy, he made the first progress toward his
present eminence in "Wisconsin in 1847. He
was a member of the Wisconsin Legislature
in 1857 and 1SG1, Mayor of Oshkosh in 1S63
aud 1864; was a delegate! to the National
Republican convention at "Baltimore in
1864, where Abraham. Lincoln was nomi
nated the second time; at Cincinnati in
1876, where Hayes'was nominated, and at
Chicago in 1880 where Garfield was nomi
nated. '
The further record of "Uncle Philetus,"
as he is familiarly known in Washington, is
that he was a Bepiesentative In the Thirty
ninth, Fortieth, Forty-first, Forty-second
and Forty-thiid Congresses. He was
elected to the United States Senate to suc
ceed Angus Cameron, took his seat March
4, 1881, 'was re-elected in 1887, and his
present term expires March 3 next He is
a busy man, to be sure, being Chairman of
the Senate Committee on Postofhces and
Postroads, and is a member of the Commit
tee on Commerce, Pensions .and Revolu
tionary Claims, and also of the select com
mittee to investigate the condition of the
Potomac river in front of "Washington.
Uncle Phlletos a Popular Man.
It is not known whether Senator Sawyer
cares to undertake the task of running Har
son's campaign. His friends in New York
to-day said he was not one to brook unwar
ranted interference and meddling, especially
on the part of the little coterie which sur
rounds the President Senator Sawyer
would work in harmony with General
Clarkson, Mr, Manlejrt Mr.. Fessenden, Mrv
Payne and, Mr. Sutherland, and it is be
lieved that Mr. Hobart,.Mr. Kerens and
Mr. Bradley will not kick over the traces
should Uncle Philetus assume command.
"Everytinz rests with the President,
though," said one of the Executive Com
mittee, "and it may be that he prefers
General Michener, of Indiana. I knew as
a matter of fact, though, that not even the
President is aware who is to run his cam
paign. I heard directly from-him -to-day,
and he is as much in the dark as any of
us."
The selection ot General Michener, it was
added, micht provoke jealousies in In
diana. Consul General John C New had
declined positively and peremptorily to ac
cept the Chairmanship, His friends be
lieve that he gave value received for his
place while at Minneapolis, when he
worked day and night to keep- the Federal
ofhceholding delegates and the delegates
from Southern Democratic States in line
for Harrison. .Without the sturdy services
of New the defeat of the President was by
no means impossible, even with the solid
line of his beneficiaries at his back,
Peculiarities of Indiana Politic!.
J. N. Huston and General Michener did
great work along with Mr. New, 'It is said,
though, that the selection of General Mich
ener would not be altogether congenial to
the majority ot the Executive Committee
just appointed Indiana politics is like no
politics on earth. It., abounds in cut-throat
jealousies. However, 'the President will
hardly consider the predictions of Mr.
Campbell's committee. He says he intends
to run his own campaign. This is a solemn,
serious truth, "I intend to give a great
part of my time to the work .of the commit
tee," the President said to Mr. Clarkson,
the last time they met
In fact, the President intimated that
he would be the real chairman. These re
marks, and the setting aside of General
Clarkson in so unceremonious afashioa.havo
inclined eminent Bepublicans to the opin
ion that the President is not sufficiently
grateful for the work done for him hy Quay,

SENATORS ARE BARRED
And so Are Congmssmen ThsCIvIl Serv
ice Laws Acalnst the Chairmanship Be
ing; Held by a Member of Elthsr, Board
Of Congress-.
Washington, July 10. Sptda'. The
matter of selection of a chairman of the Re
publican .Notional Committee continues to
be one of serious consideration by the lead
ers of the party, and Its discussion among
members' of Congress has -led to the import
ant conclusion that all members of Congress
are ineligible to appointment that no Sen
ator or Representative could serve as chair
man of the National Committee. This con
clusionNgrew out of the discussion-occasioned
by the -fact thai, several prominent
Senators had been suggested as appropriate
for appointment to the vacant chairman
ship. These included "Senator Aldrich, of
Bhode Island, Senator 'Proctor, of Ver
mont, and Senator Ssyer, of Wisconslm
When asked about this matter this even
ing one of the most active Bepublicans In
the Senate replied:
"Why, certainly, It la true that for onvlona
reasons no Congressman can serve as Chair
man or the National Committee. That Is
palpable; susceptible to the argument. The
eleventh and fourteenth sections of the civil
service law are so broad and explicit on this
subjectastoleave no room for doubtorcavlL
(eoiion 11 of that law provides that no Sena
tor.or Represent tlves,ortprritorial delegate

Polish Catholics Take Advantage of Father
Mistlewicz's Absence.
The Polish congregation of St Stanislaus
Church, on South Fifteenth street, is once
more excited. Last week Bev. Father Mis
kiewicz, the pastor of the church, left lor a
trip to Europe, and his going caused
some ot the factions in the church
to kick up a muss. Bishop
Phelan filled Father Miskiewicz's place
with a young man who is a professor in a
Detroit seminary, who read his first mass
yesterday. Several members of the congre
gation called on the new priest yesterday
and demanded from him the books showing
the financial condition of the church.
Bev. Father Miskiewizy, before leav
ing, had anticipated such a move,
and he left the books so that they could be
openly inspected by any member of the
church. These books were turned over to
the members, who demanded them, A
meeting was held in the basement of the
priest's residence yesterday afternoon, which
was quite stormy, but just what it was
about could not be learned.
The members became quite excited and
officers had finally to be sent for. Captain
Stewart and Detective Cnrrigan visited the
place and drove off those who were wrang
ling on the outside. "
The new priest says that he will stand no
trouble from the congregation, and it they
get to quarreling he will shut up the church
and go back to Detroit Bishop Phelan
will again be called on to settle the trouble.
