Washington, July 22. When the his
tory of this time is written, lougyears from
now, the proceedings of to-day at the
national capital ivill doubtless be set down
as one of the most peculiar episodes and
coincidences of the period. At one end of
the Capitol the Pinkerton brothers described
their methods in terms which made them
appear like angels of light, and they
p'ctured striking workingmen as brutes of
the most fiendish kind.
At the other end of the Capitol Mr.
Peffer, a Senator of the United States, de
livered a speech which wnsapracticaldecla
ration that the onjy sure way to aroid and
abolish disastrous labor troubles is for the
people to take into their own hands the
mines and factories and operate them as
public institutions. Mr. PefTer's speech
was eten more radical than that of Senator
Talmer, of Illinois, delivered the day fol
lowing the riot at Homestead, in which he
said that the men had a moral right to be
on the ground where they were and to de
mand the right to continue to labor at fair
and reasonable prices.
A Itadlral Difference In "Views.
The Pinkertons were savage against all
strikers in their testimony. They were de
fending their own right to make a profit
from the employment of men and the re
employment of them to proprietors in
trouble with striking employes. Senator
Peffer practically argued that there should
be no snehthing asc age worker who could
be driven from service by lh police or the
militia at the behest of a master. This
speech and the hearing before the House
Judiciary Committee Iormed a dramatic
contrast.
Senator PefTer's speech was based on a
resolution previously offered by him, in
structing the Judiciary Committee to in
lestigate as to what legislation was neces
sary to protect the right of the employes to
fair rates of wages. Another speech was
made by Mr. Call, and was directed against
the Pinkerton detective force as an un
authorized armed organization. Mr. PefTer's
resolution was referred to the Committee on
Education and Labor.
Pefler Oljec'slo the military.
Mr. Peffer, in his address on the relations
of employers and employes referred tothe
troubles at Homestead, and paid the em
ployers at that place were protected by the
power of the State in keeping their old
workmen out and in briuging in new men.
The troops surrounded their mills. Their
proprietors were protected, while the work
men were sent to jail.
In calling attention to these facts Mr.
Peffer said he represented and spoke in the
name of at least two of the largest organiza
tions of workingmen and women in the
country. The country was face to face with
one of the gravest phases of the labor
problem, and there were but three peaceful
ways out of it. The first was for the Gov
ernment to keep its hands off both parties
and to let the employers and the employed
settle the matter between themselves. And
they would do it, and do it without a resort
to arnft. He knew that that was not a
palatable way of settling the matter.
Another way was for the Government to
establish and regulate rates of wages to em
ployes and to see that they receive them
justly. That way would doubtless be re
garded as unconstitutional, revolutionary
and void.
A Very Revolutionary Proposal.
There was still another way. It was for
the Government to do with those great in
stitutions as it did with the private lands of
citizens when it needed them for public use
take possession of them, condemn them in
tbe public interest, pay for them and con
duct them as public institutions.
Senators would doubtless agree among
themselves, said the speakr, that this last
way was more revolutionary than either of
the others. The employe has the same
right (no more, no less) than the employer
has. But as the situation now is,and as
the law now is, there was but one party to
the contract protected, and there never had
been so plain and forcible an example of
that fact as that at Homestead, where tljere
were 10,000 troops to protect the one party
to a contract.
Mr. Pefier expressed his belief that Con
gress nad tbe right,constitutionally, to pro
tect citizens ot the United States anywhere.
It had also the right, he claimed, to deter
mine for itself when and where a private
business had gone to the, extent of its use
fulness, and when it was time for the Gov
ernment to interfere. There was a time
coming, he believed, when, for all purposes
except the local autonomy of the State,
State lines would vanish.
Call Not Qnlto So Excited.
Senator Call's Epeech was not nearly so
radical as that of his Kansas colleague. He
merely devoted himself to a denunciation of
the Pinkertons and their methods, without
proposing any practicable remedy for the
alleced evils.
One feature which to-day's debate bring.
out most prominently is that the United
EUDALISM

States Senate can no longer be regarded as
a conservative body. Of the two branches
of Congress the House is decidedly the
least revolutionary. Almost any wild
piece of legislation finds warm support, it
not a majority, in the very body which was
planned to act as a check upon the popular
impulse. This has been demonstrated by
the Senate's action upon such dangerous
measures as the free silver bill, which has
now been three times blocked by the House.
Ko Representative has yet risen to make a
speech of the socialistic character of those
delivered by Palmer, Peffer and other Sena
tors. PINKERTONS ON THE RACK.

Answer to Questions Put by Knlghta of
Xdbor representatives A Lenetliy State
ment.
Washington, July 22. The Pinkerton
brothers were given an opportunity this
morning to explain and defend tbe working
of their system by the special committee of
the House Committee on the Judiciary,
which has been engaged in an investigation
of the labor troubles at Homestead ana of
the operations of the Pinkerton system.
Messrs. Hayes, Devlin and Wright, of the
Knights of Labor, were present to watch
the proceedings. Mr. Devlin said they had
prepared questions they desired the com
mittee to ask the Pinkertons. Robert
Pinkerton took the stand and laid before
the committee a statement that had been
prepared. It is signed by William S. and
Robert A. Pinkerton, and is as follows:
To the .Jndlclarr Committee ofuie House of Repre
sentatives: Yon liave asked us to appear before you
and testify in regard to tue business con
ducted by us under the name of Pinkerton's
National Detective Agency. Tbe present In
aulry by j our committee arises from tbe re
cent aepioraoie events at Homestead, in tun
State of Pennsj Ivan la, and we are informed
that a statement on our part of our connec
tion with strikes and of tbe jreneral method
of carrying on this branch of our basinets
will aid the committee in its investigation.
The azency was founded in 1850 by the late
Allan Pinkerton, and during the last. 20
years it lias frequently furnished private
watchmen to protect the property of Indi
viduals and corporations during strikes. The
men employed by ns in this strike woik are
selected with great care and only after a full
investigation or their characters and ante
cedents. Not a single Instance can be cited
nhoro we have knowingly employed unre
liable or untrustworthy men, or where any
of our watchmen have been convicted or a
crime.
Order as to Carrying Arms.
Moreover, wo have seldom permitted our
watchmen to carry arms for tbe purpose of
protecting property and life, unless they
were authorized by the proper legalautbori.
ties or sworn in as deputy sheriffs. Our men
liavo never wantonly or recklessly flred a
single shot in any of these strikes, and have
used their nrms only as the last extremity
in order to protect life. We have consist
ently refused to permit our watobmen to
bear arms without special legal authority or.
as deputy sheriff, even when on private
property, and we bad no Intention of vary
ing from this rule la the Homestead strike.
When first requested to send watobmen to
proteot tbe Homestead plant and property
of the Curnegie Steel Companr, Limited, we
refused to do so unless all oar men should
be sworn lnasdeonty sheriffs before going
to Homestead. We were then assured that
tho Sheriff ot Allegheny conntv, ,Pa., knew
that our men were going to Homestead to
act aa watchmen, and to gnard the property
of the company and proteot Its workmen
from violence. We were ..further assured
that the Sheriff bad promised, immediately
upon any outbreak or dlsturbanoe, , to
deputize all our watchmen as Sheriff's depu
ties if it became necessary for .the protec
tion or life and property. On that condition
only did we consent to lurnlsh about 800
watc.hmen.A large number, of theae
men-were onr regularemployes, who could
b thoroughly -tiusted -for Integrity, pru-"
dene - and sobriety. The remainder of the
men whom we employed from time to time
were know n and recommended to us. They
did not go Into tbe State of Pennsylvania as
an armed body or force, and we should not
have permitted or assented to this.
Expected to be Sworn In by the Sheriff.
There was bo intention or purpose what
ever of arming them until they were on tbe
property of the company at Homestead, and
until, and unless they had been sworn In as
the sheriff's deputies. The Sheriff's chief
deputy. Gray, accompanied our men, being
on the tng towing the barges, and it was dis
tinctly understood that he had authority to
duly deputize them in case ol necessity.
The boxes containing the arms and ammu
nition were shipped from Chicago, and were
to be delivered at the Homestead yards.
The instructions to our men were that they
houid not be armed unless previously deuu
tized by the Sheriff. As a matter of fact the
boxes on board the barges werb not opened
and the arms an d ammunition were not dis
tributed until alter the strikers had
commenced firing on the watchmen, and It
became evident that it was a matter of self
defense for life or death. Klein had been
muidered by the strikers, and about Ave
otuer watenmen snot nnd wounded befoie
our men began their flro In self-defense.
Even then it: was impossible to attempt
lo shoot those firing at the barges because
the strikers made a bieastwork for them
selves by placing womon and children In
front and firing from behind them. Not a
single woman or child was Injured by our
men.
When our men surrendered the leaders of
the strikers solemnly promised fnll protec
tion to property and life. They knew that
ouiyraen surrendered because the wounded
required attention and for the purpose of
saving further loss of life.
Scenes of tbe Surrender.
After the surrender all our men, including
the wounded and helpless, were brutally
beaten and robbed by the strikers, and the
leaders made no real or honest effort to pro
tect them. Our men were robbed of watches,
money, clothing, in fact everything, and
then mercilessly clubbed and stoned. Con
nors, unable to move or defend himself, was
deliberately shot by one or the strikers and
then clubbed. Edwards, also wounded and
helpless, was clnbbed by another striker
with the butt end of a musket. Both died
and subsequently another watchman be
came insane and committed suicide as a
result of the fearful beating after liaving
surrendered. All our men were more or less
lnjuid. Theacts of tbe strikers after our
men surrendered would be a dlsgraee to
savages. Yet,'oecauso done In the name of
organized American labor, sympathy, if not
encouragement. Is shown for snch deeds hv
part of tbe press and by political dema
gogues. The statement further holds that a great
principle is involved, larger than the
dispute between the Carnegie people and
their men. The Pinkertons had no quarrel
with organized labor, save as it attempted
life and defied law. If owners might not
employ watchmen, then capital is at tbe
mercy of secret organizations, "whose
tyranny and despotism," says the statement,
"exceed anything ever known in the history
of the world. These societies intimidate
communities by threats of murder, and are
determined upon ruin and destruction of
property, if their demands, no matter how
unreasonable or impracticable, are not
complied with."
strikes Where There 'Were Blots.
The Mollie Mazuires. the Chicir n Stnv
Company's strike, the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy strike and others are referred to
in detail as the basis for the statement made
in the paper that "every large strike has
shown that these labor organizations will
murder.and destroy property out of sheer
wantonness and revenge."
"It was morally certain," concludes the
statement, "from the threats of men
themselves, that the strikers at Homestead
would resort to similar violence and at
tempt to destrov the property of the Car
negie Company if any attempts were made
to supply their places by non-union men."
The employment all "over the country by
banks and private people of watchmen is
referred to, and then the subscribers to the
statement affirm that their counsel assure
them that they have violated no law, .Fed
eral or State; that they "had the right to
employ and send men to Homestead to act
watchmen; that if they were .attacked
they had the right to kllJ, if absolutely
necessary for self-defense; that they had a
right to bear arms on the premises of' the
Carnegie Company in order to protect life
and private property, whether or not they
were deputized by the Sheriff of Allegheny
county; that we had the right to ship arms
from Chicago to the Carnegie yards At
Homestead for the purpose of arming our
men if and after thev were deputized by the
Sheriff; that in view' of the attack on the
barges our men had the right to bear arms
and to defend'themtelves, and that all their
acts in firing 'in self-defense from the
barges, after the attaok on them, were
legally justifiable under the laws of the
United Statei and of the State of Pennsyl
vania." Hob Pinkerton on tbe Defensive.
After a reeess Robert A. Pinkerton was
called to the stand and required to answer
the qnestioni which had been prepared by
the representatives of the Knights of Labor.
The replies were in substance as follows:
The Pinkerton agency owned about 250
rifles, about 100 pistols and an equal number
of clubs, and thev were deposited at Chi
cago. In all its various branches the Arm
never had at any one time more than 800
persons in Us employ. The employed were
advised exaotly what they were expected to
do, and understood that they were at per
feot liberty to refuse any employment to
whloh they objected. The men sent to
Homestead were obtained in New York,
Chicago and Philadelphia. All 'of them
knew the exact nature of tbelr employ
ment. Tbe barges were not constructed for
the purpose of protection, and were not
lined with Iron or steel, and could
not resist small arms. The men
would nover have been allowed to start
on the expedition If It nad been known that
they were to be attacked before landing.
The barges were employed beoause It was
believed tbe men would be enabled to land
without a breach of the peace, and the land
ing was made at nlzhtfor the leason that
tho Sheriffs force hud been resisted in the
day time, and 'it was expected that the
strikers would be in bed. The sole desire
was to avoid bvall means a breach of the
neace. Otherwise the men would not have
been permitted to go unless authorized bv
the Governor or deput zed by the Sheriff.
The only purpose was to put the men upon
private property, nnd then protect it from
attack. Tbe men would uot have flred ex
cept as a matter of self-defense. It was un
derstood the Carnegie Company had applied
to tue proper legal autnorities, ana mat tue
men were going to Homestead with the ap
proval of the sheriff. ,
Cross-Examined by the Chairman.
Mr. Oates then asked this question:
"Have you ever furnished guards to travel
on trains transporting the mails or inter
State commerce?"
Answer Yes, sin In the case of the Burl
ington strike and in the New York Central
strike. I think wherever we have done
strike work for railroads at times we have
furnished men to ride on the trains. They
probably were armed, but it would depend
nn circumstances. They went armed on tbe
New York Central strike to protect them
selves from assault.
As witness had no reason to anticipate an
attack on the barges no orders were given
to his men. On the contrary, he had every
reason to; believe they would land peace
fully at the company'! works. He thought
that if the deteotives had fired to kill many
more lives would have been lost antl the
works oould have been taken at that time,
but not without great loss of life. Mr.
Pinkerton stated that he was a sworn police
officer a deputy sheriff and he made it a
rule always to swear in his men, except in
the case ot railroad service.
Mr. Oates asked the witness what he had
to say of the statement that 50 good soldiers
fould have scattered the Homestead mob,
and -that cowardice was shown by the Pink
ertons.
Tbe Women Were la the Way.
"Witness-replied that he bad talked with
his men. They said they could have taken
possession of the works almost any time
before 10 o'clock; that 78 men could have
taken possession of the works, but they
.would have had to kill a number of people,
men.'women and children, and they con
cluded, not to do anything of tbe kind.
The first firing, his men told him, was over
the strikers' heads. His men were armed
with "Winchesters. At the start not over
20 of them were given arms.and afterward
arms were given to about 40 in all.
Mr. Boatner aske'd" how it was that
trouble occurred when the strikers claimed
always that they did not encourage violence
and only persuaded men not to work, and
the Pinkertons were instructed not to use
violence.
Mr. Pinkerton said he had never seen a
strike when labor organizations or their
men had "not abused non-union men. He
had seen men knocked oil trains; he had
seen thera beaten almost to a jelly; he had
known members of these very Knights of
Xiabor, whose representatives were here, to
put obstructions on the track and to put
dynamite under cars; he had seen men who
wanted to work treated worse than savages
by representatives ol secret labor organiza
tions, and he had had them sent to prison
for it.
William A. Pinkerton was next sworn
and corroborated all that his brother had
said.
The Committee udjourned subject to the
call of the chairman. If further testimony
touching new points is ouered within a day
or two it will ba received, otherwise the
committee will begin the preparation of its
report very soon.
UNIONISM ON THE INCBEA.SE.
Great Growth of Trades Unions Since a New
Orleans Strike.
Hew Orleans, July 22. Special
The success met with in the strike of the
street car drivers in June, in spite of the
numerous difficulties in the way, has given
au immense impetus to the American Fed
eration of Labor, which won the victory
and the organization, of the trades here into
unions. Previous to that strike not over a
third of the trades were organized? Now
they are forming unions at the rate of two
or more a day, and it is probable that all
will be organized before the beginning of
the industrial year, September 1, when con
tracts are generally made for the ensuing
12 months.
Among the trades organized into unions
during the last few days are the barbers,
bakers, confectioners, coopers, horseshoers,
freight handlers and others. Tbe new or
ganization has shown its strength by secur
ing increased wages for the car drivers and
journeymen painters and by compelling the
authorities to enforce the Sunday law, and
other acts in the interest of the working
man. "When all the trades have formed
unions a central trades assembly will be
iormed to arbitrate, settle differences, and
otherwise manage the interests of the
workingmen.
A COUNT? MAESHAL SHOT DEAD.
Hnndreds of West Virginians, Rent on

HUNTINGTON, W. Va., July 22. Spe
eiaH Ike Thompson, one of the bravest
police officers in the State and Marshal of
Montgomery, is dead, and hundreds of ex
cited citizens of Lafayette county are after
his slayer, who will be lynched if caught.
Two men were here last night after him,
and Fayette county has offered $1,000 re
ward for his capture. His name is John
Vance. Thompson was given a warrant to
serve on Vance, and the two met on the
road. Vance came up to t"he officer and
hook hands. "When Thompson put his
band in his pooket to get the warrant Vance
pulled out a revolver and shot the mar
shal, the ball taking effect in his stomach.
A Case of Cruelty at Braddoclc
Braddock, July 22. Special "J Michael
Pendowitz was fined $10 and costs to-day for
cruelty to his 13-year-old daughter. It is
claimed that he beat the child with a stlok,
that her back was covered with splinters,
and that he had blacked both her eyes.

London, July 22. To inquiries ad
dressed to Akera Douglas, the chief Con
servative whip, to-day, as to whether the
Government, if defeated on a vote of "no
confidence," would persist in remaining in
office, he responded simply that "the Gov
ernment will act in accordance with prece
dent aud the constitution." As the bal
ance of precedents is . distinctly toward Im
mediate resignation on defeat, tbe whip's
reply can be taken as opposed to the re
ports that Lord Salisbury will challenge tbe
validity of Mr. Gladstone's' majority and
try to govern with a minority.
A suggestion to this effect ..has been dis
cussed in the Conservative clubs, sinoe the
character of .the Gladstonian.' majority be;
came visible; but on every side it has been,
scouted as improbable. The article in the
Pott, adopting the suggestion, does not carry
much weight. Tbe JW is not an inspired
organ, and tbe result of researches made
to-day in official .quarter's by the represents
tive of the Associated Press confirms his
previous statements that both the Conserva
tive and XJberal.TJnionist leaders have de
cided to resign on the first vote in which a
majority is against them.
What the Post's Article Says.
The Post't leader, which has caused a sen
sation, says:
Assuming that tho opposition has a
stronger majority on the notion that tho
Government does not possess the confidence
of the country, why should tho Ministers im
mediately leslgn, in view of the fact that
they have not to deal with a compact oppo
sition, but only a disjointed horde of fac
tions? How can Lord Salisbury aid his col
leagues, and conscientiously reconcile their
duty to their sovereign and their party with
an Impetuous aDandonment of power In
consequence of the transaction of the horde
which now disfigures the character and de
grades the traditions of Parliamentary op-'
position? The Ministry should not act oevond
advising the sovereign to prorogue Parlia
ment until tbe normal period of assemblage
arrives.
The whip's reference to precedents re-"
calls the fact oi one single memorable in
stance of a prime Minister persisting in
defying a maioritv. This was Peel, who in
1834 returned from the polls supported by
2d Tories. Against him Melbonrne had a
majority as heterogeneous in its compos!-
tion as is Mr. Gladstones. It consisted -or-109,British
"Whirs.-189 Radicals. 44 -Irish
Repealers and 22 Irish Whigs. Peel "way-
defeated on the election of the Speaker by
ten votes. He still held on.
"Whipped FIvo Time Before He Gave Cp.
On the measure of educational reform
affecting dissenters he was defeated bv 110
votes, but he declined to go. On the Irish
tithes bill a majority of 33 votes was against
him, but he still clung to office. He faced
two more defeats on Irish questions decided
by Irish votes before he resigned.
"The fight lasted until the Government
had to confront complete paralization of the
administration by the majority refusing to
grant supplies. Lord Salisbury has a sup
ply that will enable the business ot the
country to pioceed until January, but
Peel's miserable example, if followed now
adays, would utterly disgrace the Unionists
and crush their chances at the next election.
The Ministers' communications to the
heads of the Goverment departments ex
clusively concern the winding-up of their
nffiftial dnties bv the third week In Am.nf
According to the present arrangements the
usual Ministerial dinners on the evening
preceding the opening of the session will
not take place.
The main result of a meeting of a small
group of Radicals at the house of Sir Will
iam Vernon Harcourt yesterday has been
the introduction of the first note of discord
in the party. Aiter the meeting several
members of of the House of Commons who
had been present appeared at the National
Liberal Club, where they announced that a
memorial would be sent to Mr. Gladstone
urging him to put the leading planks of the
Newcastle programme to the forefront and
home rule in the background.
Gladstone Should Have a Free Hand.
Although the general feeling at the club
is distinctly in favor of this course of legis
lation, yet the desire there to leave Sir.
Gladstone unfettered is stronger, and the
proposed Radical protest, as likely to em
barrass him, is disapproved. The move
ment is causing a sharp internal row.
The reserved attitude of the Irish leaders
is in contrast with this premature activity of
the Radicals. MessraDilIon and O'Brien and
other McCarthyite chiefs will not be inter
viewed for the present. They tell the rep
resentatives of the press that they will say
nothing for publication tilt the relations of
their party with Mr. Gladstone are further
assured. Mr. Redmond, as well, maintains
a similar reserve.
Sir Charles Dilke is maneuvering to se
cure the leadership of the new labor party,
hoping through them to win back place and
power.
An analysis of the personnel of the, new
House of Commons has practical value as
showing the influence of different classes
and callings upon political life. Lawyers
are the most numerous, holding 161 seats,
while merchants hold 65; army and navy
officers, 53; officers of the auxiliary forces,
E2; journalists, 35; manufacturers, 57; peers'
sons and brothers, 35; gentry and landown
ers, 83; shipowners, 19; brewers, 18; farm
ers, 10; labor representatives, 15, and rail
way directors, CO, while the remaining seats
are occupied by men of various other voca
tions or classes.
Among adherents of religious denomina
tions there are 8 Quakers, 28 Congrega
tionalists, 20 Methodists, 20 Unitarians and
8 Baptists, the bulk of tbe others being
either members of the Established Church
or Catholics. -

Declared by the Czar of Russia Against
Prince Ferdinand or Bulgaria.
Berlin, July 22. The communications
recently published in the Svoboda, the organ
of the Bulgarian Government, from the
Russian Legation at Bucharest, to tbe Rus
sian Foreign Office, showing that every
movement undertaken against Prince Ferdi
nand of Bulgaria was directed, paid
for and instigated by Russia,
has caused a sensation in this city.
The policy of Bulgaria has the full ap

that not only Bulgarian rjlottera. but also
Russians, were under court martial at Sofia
when the recent conspiracy trial was held in
that city, and that the sentence of the Court
was the judgment of Russia before the
world.

Charges of Embezzlement Are Fending
Against Him at Copenhagen.
Copenhagen, July 22. The arrest of
Henry B. Ryderi the American Consul
here, was due to a complaint made against
him by a family living on the isl
and of Amager. Tbe members of this family
inherited 1,000 kroners from a relative who
died in the United Stales, and this money
should have been paid over to them by Mr.
Ryder. Mr. Ryder maintains that he paid
the whole legacy, amounting to 925 kron
ers, to the family in the presence of wit
nesses, and that he had a receipt for that
amount. Tbe heirs, on the contrary, assert
that they received only G00. kroners from
the Consul, and that they signed the receipt
without knowing its contents.
The examination of Mr. Ryder yesterday
lasted four hours, and a thorough search
was afterward made of tbe Consulate. The
Vice Consul is conducting tbe Consular
affairs pending the settlement otthe matter.
Sir. Ryder is further suspected of embez
zling sums of money which were forwarded
by the United States Government to Danish
police officers for certain services which
they had rendered.

sisted by the leaders from Homestead have
been working for the past week very
earnestly and secretly, have succeeded in
organizing an Amalgamated Association
lodge, andjay they are prepared for a long
fight iC necessary. Tbey say that this move
ment is not entirely out oi sympathy for
the Homestead people, but is for the recog
nition of the Amalgamated Association at the
Dnquesne Mill. The Amalgamated scale
was presented to Superintendent Mannlsoi
this morning, but, while Mr. Mannison
treated the committee kindly, he refused
the wishes of that body. This hastened the
action of the men in coming out, as they
had intended to work until next Sunday.
Homestead Men at Duqaeane.
There are at least 1,000 locked-out men
from Homestead here, and it seems that
they are the principal leaders. It was un
derstood among the men that tbe turn
that should go on at 4 o'clock would stay
at home. This they did, except about six
men, who started to work as usual, but
'were stopped by the Homestead men be
fore they got near the mill. Several succeeded
in getting as far as the entrance, but were
stopped there by strikers, who kept them
from going in. Tiro of them insisted upon
going in, but they we're picked up and car
ried some distance from the mill and told to
go home or they would not be handled so
easily the next time. They then gave it up
and returned to their homes. The turn that
was to come out at 4 p. Jr. stayed in and
worked out tbe heats underway then quit
Tbe general opinion is that the men have
been forced into this by the Homestead
men. The sympathy of the oitlzens is divi
ded, but the majority fear that the men
have made a mistake.
Changed Their Minds Later On.
A number of the steel workers were in
terviewed to-day before the strike and they
stated that they would not come out.but it is
bard to tell what influence the majority of
the men in coming out will have on them.
There is a large number of men here who
object to coming opt and have very little
sympathy tor the Homestead men, claim
ing that the Homestead people have no use
for them unless to use them to benefit them
selves. A meeting was in session at the
rink at midnight, but no one but Dnquesne
steel workers and Amalgamated men were
admitted. Amalgamated officials were
present. The meeting was presumably for
the purpose of arranging the manner in
which to manage the strike.
A strong guard of strikers has been sta
tioned around the mill to see that no one
goes to work. It is not thought that the
Carnegie Company will attempt to start the
mill before next week. Tue intention was
to start the manufacture of steel rails the
first of the week. This was looked upon as
a scheme of the Carnegie people to keep
the men that work as union men nt other
mills. Exciting times arc expected to
morrow. A delegation will probably go
from here to Bradilock, with the intention
of trying to bring out the non-union men
there, too.
Illumed nn the Hom-Mead TTnrkvr.
.Mr. Frick when asked last nigiit what lie
thought of the strike at Duqnesnt-, said:
"I have nothing to say about the matter
only this; that if there is any trouble at
Dnquesne it 'will be caused entirely by the
Homestead strikers." '

President M. F. Kinney, of Equity
Xodge; President Cornelius Shea, of Ex
celsior Lodge, and President John Pierce,
of Monongahela Valley Lodge, all promi
nent' and active members of the Amalga
mated Association, are very much exer
cised over an untrue announcement which
appeared in one of the papers yesterday.
The objectionable article was to the effect
that an official ot the Carnegie Steel Com
pany bad declared that he could get
3,000 skilled mechanics without going
out of Pennsylvania. These work
men were to be obtained from Jones &
Laugblins, Oliver Bros., and Singer's. Ac
cording to the account these men; had ex
pressed willingness to take the places of
the locked-oufmen as soon as the firm was
ready to resume.
Mr. Kinney, together with the other two
gentlemen, said: "This statement cannot
JP
be denied too 'strongly. There is not a man
in Jones & Laughiins' mills who would
even consider an offer from the Carnegie
Steel Company. We have good positions
where-we are, and will go back to work m
our old places when a settlement is reached.
You can also deny that there are any work
men who contemplate leaving Oliver Bros.'
and Singer's. t
LOOKING FOR RECRUITS.
Superintendent Scott, of the Union Mills,
.Oat it SnartMbnrs looking for Non-
Union Men to Take the Places of Old
Employes.
Continued quiet at the TJpner and Lower
Union Mills in Lawrenceville Is the rule.
The workers claim that if the firm can
afford to engage new men to break the
strike they will offer no violent objection.
All day' yesterday Superintendent Scott
was out in Sharpsburg trying to enlist the
workers in that vicinity, who are non-union,
to engage with him.
While this was going on tho Scouting
Committee of the "Union mills were not
idle. They had a detachment of men fol
lowing Mr. Scott and undoing his work by
persuading the men to stay away from the
iTJnion mills. This the majority of the men
promised to da
A tour of the two mills was made yester
day. In the Tnirty-third street mill there
were probably from C5 to 75 men employed,
including machinists, laborers, clerks, fore
men and watchmen. Several anglnes are
running in the yard and one movable steam
crane is Kent busy unloading steel ingots
from cars. Most ot the men at work in the
mills are engaged in places where they can
be seen from the outside, and the gates are
left open so that a good view can be had of
the inside.
A crew of machinists are busy inspecting
and repairing machinery. In tbe 10-inch
mill several masons are engaged in putting
down new foundations for the rolls. A
large gang of laborers are also at work
cleaning up the mill. It is expected the
laborers will finish their work in a day or
so, in which case they will be laid off until
the mill resumes operations.
In the Twenty-ninth street mill nearly
the same condition of affairs exist, with the
exception ot the blacksmith shop, foundry,
bumper department and machine shops.
Here repairing is also being done, and the
machinery is getting a thorough test .and
overhauling. A close watch is kept on
everybody who is not known by the special
watchmen, and admittance is denied, except
to those who are in search ot work. If the
non-union men who, it is said, succeeded in
getting into tbe mill in large numbers are
still there, they have a faculty for keeping
out of sight, as there are only a few more
men now working in tbe two mills than
there were several days ago.
Several of tbe watchmen in the two mills
have been sworn in as special police, and
according to a workman it is likely that
they all will before long. General Manager
Dillon was seen yesterday. He stated that
while they were employing'a few men they
were not attempting to start the mills with
non-union workerst as in his opinion the old
men would return in a few days and sign as
individuals. The press committee possess
the oninion that their prospects never
looked brighter for victory. They say they
will never go back as long as the Homestead
trouble remains unsettled.
WATCHINQ THE HILL.
Workers Cse Field Glasses to Gain Inside
Information.
Quite a crowd of mill workers gathered
on Carnegie Hill, near headquarters, yester
day morning, with field glasses to watch
the maneuvering of the men down in tbe
mill yard. There were about 30 with
glasses all pointed at the mill, and they
seemed to.be greatly interested in the move
ments. Tbey were observed by Major
Campbell, who sent a detail from the divis
ion headquarters' guard to clear the hill,
which they did in very short order. The
guards were kept busy all day ordering
people away", and as a result the hill wore a
very deserted appeafance as compared with
previous afternoons.

Nine Unknown Men Identify Him
at the County Jail The Homestead
Mills Put in Operation.
There are now four of the marked Home
stead men in jail on a charge of murder.
Peter Allen, Sr., and Matthew Foywere
arrested yesterday. They arrived at jail at
8:15 last night accompanied by Detectives
Webber and Morris. They had not sur
rendered, but were arrested at their homes
in Homestead by Detective Morris single
handed. They were searched at the jail,
but did not have anything but pocket
knives. When taken back into the prison
they were assigned to cells on range No. 2
within speaking distance of Hugh O'Don
neli and Hugh Boss.
Warrants for these two men were issued
last Tuesday, when four informations were
made and the names kept secret. Detective
Morris has been on the cases ever since.
By going about among the locked-out men
he finally got a description of the people he
wanted. Yesterday he simply laid around
until supper time. Then be went to the
residence of Peter Allen, Sr., at 421 Tilth
avenue.
Arrested at the Supper Table.
The detective called at 5:35, just as Allen
was sitting down to the table. There was
no one there but Mr. Allen's family. He
was told that he was under arrest and at
once dressed and went with tbe detective.
Allen was. taken to the Carnegie offices at
Munhallanjd left in charge of the company's
officers.
Detectire Morris then returned to the
house ofMatthew Foy at 205 Plum alley,
near Thirteenth street. Homestead. Matthew
Foy is the father of William Foy, who was
wounded"ftHie fight with the Pinkertons.
There were aumber of the locked-out men
at the house wfcen the detective made the
arrest, bnt tbevydid not make any disturb
ance. MatthetJ Foy was also taken fr
Munhall rjto?yaotd on thts&"TKinwiti
Peter AHS "".'
By the time the train reached Homestead!
the news of the arrests bad preceded it, and
there was a large crowd at the station. A
number jumped on the train and whispered
to the prisoners, but there was no disturb,
ance of any kind.
Foy Is an Old Grand Army Man.
It was almost 8 o'clock when the men
arrived at Alderman McMasters' office
The warrants showed they were arrested on
a charge of murder preferred by F. T. F.
Lovejoy for the killing of Silas Wain and
T. J. Connors on July 6. Both waived a
hearing and will apply for bail to-day.
Matthew Foy is 50 years of age. His
sparse hair and beard are red mixed with
gray, and he wore a Grand Army suit. He
is tall and very spare.
Peter Allen, Sr., is a man about the aver
age height and well built. His hair and
eyes are black, and he wears a heavy black
mustache and goatee.' His hair is slightly
tinged with eray, and he has the appearance
of a man of 45. He wore a handsome Odd
Fellows' pin.
Tbe feature of the day previous to that
was the application for bail of Hugh
O'Donneli and Hugh Boss. Attorneys
Brennen and Cox appeared for them: The
petitions were ju3t the same as the one pre
sented in the case of John McLuckie. Al'wr"
reading them, Mr. Brennen said: "I sup
pose all the Court can do under the rule is
to fix a time."
"Up until this time none of the attorneys
for the prosecution were present, and Judge
Magee sent out for Attorneys Breck, Bobb,
Patterson and Burleigh.
O'Donneli Will Be Il-ard This Mornln?.
The attorneys then held a short consulta
tion, which was interrupted by Judge Ma
gee, who asked if 3 o'clock would not suit
them. Mr. Bobb objected, because he
wanted to have the District Attorney
present, and it would be impossible to
have bim at that time. Mr. Bobb said the
matter would not take long. The Court
therefore fixed 9:30 this morning a3 the
hour when the hearings would be held.
Immediately after the presentation of the
application Mr. Brennen explained that all
the differences between himself and Mr.
O'Donneli had been settled. He said Mr.
O'Donneli had only been worried when ar
rested and was now sorry lor the state
ments. A peculiar feature about Mr. O'Donnell's
arrest was that when searched at the jail a
cipher code was found on him, together
with several cipher telegrams: Jnst before
entering the jail a man rushed up to him and
exclaimed: "Hugh, yon need an attor
ney. Told to Secure the Cipher Key.
"No," exclaimed Mr. O'JJonnell, loudly,
"I am done with Brennen and Cox and I
will throw myself on the .mercy of the
Court."
Then in a half whisper he said to the man:
"Hurry to Homestead and get that cipher'
key from my wife and get it out of the
road."
This part happened in Maloney's saloon,
and just as O'Donneli came out of there
Detective P. J. Murphy took him aside and
the two had a whispered consultation for
five minutes.
Mr. O'Donnell's satchel, which also con
tained some telegrams written in cipher, is
missing. It was left at Attorney Brenneu's ,
office. It has not been seen since the ar
rest Last evening Mr. O'SoaaslI fare Mt vlw
