1FPOM A STArr COBBESPOXDENT.
Washington", Aug. 3L The corre
spondent ol The Dispatch happened to
be in the office of the Secretary of the
Treasury to-day, when an Associated Press
telegram was handed to Secretary .foster
stating that the steamship Moravia had ar
rived at Xew York, and had reported 26
cases of cholera and 23 deaths during the
passage. Secretary Foster said that he
could hardly believe the statement,
as he thought that the news would
have been communicated to him at once,
direct from the Marine Hospital officials,
and he had received no intimation of such a
terrible condition of aflairs on any of the
vessels arrived at New York Up to 4
o'clock this afternoon neither Secretary
Poster nor any of the Government authori
ties had received any information confirma
tory of the statement from ifew York, but
they were assured that it was hardly possible
there could be any mistake about it
It is pleasing to say, that these author
ities were stirred up by the story of the
Moravia more than th6y have yet been in
regard to the cholera. Though they claim
that they have done all that could possibly
be be done to prevent the entrance
of the plasru-, there has been evi
dent among them a lack of serious compre
hension of the gravity of the prospect.
TjiIJc of Stopping Immigration.
A few days ago, when the scare came of
the outbreak of the cholera at Hamburg,
there was immediate talk of prohibiting
immigration altogether, at least for a time,
until the quarantine authorities could get
their work of disinfecting thoroughly in
hand. I was told at that time that there
was doubt of the power of the Government
to place an embargo upon the en
trance of all immigrants at any
port of the United States. It was
then intimated that an order would be
speedily issued lor such prohibition, pos
sibly in the form of a Presidental proclama
tion, but nothing more has been heard of
the matter, and it seems probable that the
President himself has had a hand in staying
this sensible action, in a fear that it might
in some way affect unfavorably his chances
for re-election.
"We have done all that can be devised for
the prevention of the intrusion of the
cholera," said Secretary Foster in the course
of conversation on the subject to correspond
ents and others who gathered in his office
this afternoon.
"I think that the quarantine restrictions
will be as perfect as such machinery can be
in their operation. Xot a soul can euter
the United States from any of the infected
ports without being thoroughly disinfected
as to person and luggage. All will be treated
alike. The lady in her silks is as likely to
be contaminated, if she comes from an in
fecteU city, as the immigrant in rags, and
no matter how annoying it may be, 6he
must suffer the operation of the regula
tions. There is no necessity for any mis
take. roster Tliink Prohibition Unnecessary.
"The quarantine barrier should be so
6trong a to m. ke it impossible for any per
son who has been exposed to the disease to
gain an entranct- until he or she is rendered
totally harmless tor injury. AVhile the
general Government has the power to as
sume absolute control of the quarantine, in
accordance with an opinion rendered by the
Attorney General, I do not think that auy
saoh step Mill be necessary."
The local government and the general
Government, through the Marine Hospital
service anrt the Collectors of Customs, will
co-operate in the most earnest and harmon
ious manner that there may be no loophole
for the entrance ot the contagion. I hardly
see how wc could prohibit immigrants with
out prohibiting all, as an immigrant that has
utcn uioiuiccieu is as saie a person to per
mit to land as any other class of passenger.
There is no la-v under which we may
retnrn immigrants except they be paupers or
criminals or workmen imported under con
tract. But we can detain immigrauts and
others as long as is necessary at quaran
tine until all danger of their infecting any.
body i past. In the case of the Moravia,
for instance, if the story be true that she is
a plague ship, she can be detained 10. 28 or
30 days or six months if need be until there
is no longera particle of danger."
The Quarantine Kulatlon Sufficient.
. Assistant Secretary Spaulding, who had
charge of cholera matters before the leturn
of Secretary Foster, does not dispute the
position that there is no law under which
immigrants can be prohibited from landing,
regardless of having been exposed to the
plague, or of their having come from an in
fected region, but he is heartily in favor of
doing all that can be done to call a halt on
immigiation during the prevalence of the
cholera abroad,
"I think," said Mr. Spaulding, "that all
that la necessary will be accomplished by a
thorough quarantine. Under the re
strictions now imposed, it will be very un
profitable for steamship companies to make
a business of transporting immigrants, as a
few days at quarantine will put them to so
much extra expense that there will
be no profit in conveying pas
senger. A single case, or even a
suspicious illness of anyone will
prevent the lauding of the whole lot for
days and possibly weeks, and that would be
a ruinous traffic, in so far as the immigrant
passengers is concerned, all of whom are
carried at a small profit at best. I think
that you will see that for some time to
come,tlie immigrant passenger list on all of
the lines running between this country and
W H
NGTQN
infected cities or countries wiU be very
meager indeed."
Tlio'l'nbllc or Another Mind,
To say that the public generally doas not
agree with the halting attitude of.the Gov
ernment authorities, ' in regard to the ad
mission of immigrants, is putting it very
mildly. Every one who professes to know
anything about the matter, sees a vast dif
ference between steerage passengers and
those of other classes in connection with the
dangers of the introduction of the cholera.
The former comes as a general thine from
the crowded portions of the greaf cities of
the Old AVorid. They have lived on poor
food, are not in the best condition to fight
against disease, have breathed vitiated at
mosphere to which the atmosphere of the
steerage of the vessel is like a gale from
Araby.
All" disease hovers over and strikes at the
unclean reeions wheie they have been
crowded together. Their chances of having
been exposed and contaminated by any con
tagion, are a thousand times greater in
their case than it is in the case of the first
or second class passenger. I have talked
with a number ot physicians and Govern
ment officials in regard to this phase of the
danger, and without exception they were of
the opinion that, as one of the means first
to be taken to prevent the introduction of
the scourge, immigration ought to be totally
prohibited until all danger is past, be the
period months or years.
Too Timid to Speak Openly.
All such persons here are timid about
proclaiming their criticisms against high
officials of the Government in all matters,
but among themselves, -and to persons who
will not repeat them, they are unsparing in
their denunciation of the failufe of the ad
ministration to prohibit immigration, in
which the quarantine authorities devote
their whole attention to that class of pas
sengers arriving at our ports who would be
less likely to be contaminated, and who
would be likely to remain abroad and on
shore where they could have the best medi
cal attention, it they had been exposed in
any way to the atmosphere of the disease.
Physicians especially, like that high au
thority in the medical profession quoted in
these telegrams a few days ago, say that
the most rigid quarantine measures will net
prevent the plague if all classes of people
are permitted to cross the ocean and land as
usual, with only the ordinary disinfecting
process which alone would be possible when
the number to be treated is large. If immi
grants could be excluded, they say, the at
tention to fumigation, and all the means tor
the most thorough disinfecting would be
applied with the utmost care to the other
class of arrivals, while the quarantine au
thorities will certainly soon become care
less or indiflereut if hundreds ot steerage
passengers have to be treated every day.
Harrison's Course Is Criticised.
The President comes in for the lion's
share ot criticism, for his apparent indiffer
ence to the appalling prospect. In the iace
of imminent danger ot the introduction of a
plague which may not only result in the
death of tens of thousands, but also in an
almost total paralysis of business for years
and the utter ruin of the World's Fair pro
ject, the President is accused of indulging
in his favorite pastime of fishing and shoot
ing, utterly blind, in his sylvan comfort, as
to what is being done by those who hold
the reins of Government, and who would
naturally be slow to take any unusual step
in his absence from easy communication
with them.
For days it has been a constant wonder
with nearly everybody that Mr. Harrison
did not hasten at once to Washington when
the danger first threatened, that he might
be here to take such measures as he only has
authority to employ; even to the calling of
an extra session of Congress, if that were
necessary, to empower the Government to
prohibit immigration.
Ilich Officials Not Easily Alarmed.
Senator Cullum is one of the few who do
not think that it is necessary to prohibit
immigration, out lie is almost tne only one
in this city who seems to think that way.
He declares that it would be absurd to call
an extra session of Congress.
If seems impossible to alarm the very
persons who ought to be alarmed, such as
Consressmen and high officials. They will
drift easily from a discussion of the
cholera to speculation in regard to
the political possibilities, and the
result of the election is
apparently vastly more important to them
than any danger of the cholera, with all its
attencant disasters to the trade and com
merce ot the country. They may possibly
wake up when it is too late, and then find
that their carelessness may cost them
dearly at the polls.
There is nothing more certain than that
the President will suffer severely next No
vember if any sensible thing be left un
done for the prevention of the entrance of
the cholera in case the plague get a foot
hold this fall, with a prospect of its staying
lor two or tnree years. Jfor that reason,
as well as for the safety of the country,
Mr. Harrison's friends are anxious for his
presence here at this critical juncture.
WILL BE THE TEMPOHABY SUCCESSOB.
Father DnfTner, of St. Peter's Church, Will
Succeed Father 3IollIn?er.
To-day Rev. Father John B. Duffner will
take temporary charge of the Mt Troy con
gregation left pastorless at the death of the
priest physician, Father Mollinger. Yes
terday the congregation was left by the
priests of the Order of the Holy Ghost, who
have had the care since the demise of the
celebrated priest.
The appointment of a successor to Father
Mollinger rests entirely with Bishop
Phelan, and as the latter is away on a trip
for his health his selection is unknown.
Father Duffner was seen last night at the
pastorate of St. Peter's Church, Southside,
and said h e would only take temporary charge
ot the Church ot tne Most Holy Name.
The appointment will be mde upon the
Uishop s return, continued Jfather Duff
ner. "Until then nothing definite will be
known. I was spoken to several weeks ago
by Bishop Phelan and was told to take
temporary charge when the priest of the
Holy Ghost left. I cannot say who the ap
pointee will be, as what I have just related
was all that has been said to me upon the
subject."
"Is it true, ashas been intimated, that
you are a physician and will coutinue the
work of healing left by Father Molliuger?"
"It is not true. No more medical practico
will he indulged in. I have but a super
ficial knowledge of medicine; no more than
any other man in my walk of life, and will
not practice upon ML Troy if 1 am the
appointee. Bishop Phelan has been decided
upon this since the death of Father .Mol
linger, and there will be no more physical
cures at the Church of the Most Holy
Name."

Corbett Battle Is Going.

The Big Champion Preparing to Start for
New, Orleans.

frKCIAt TKLEORAM TO THE DISPXTCH.l
New Yokk, Aug. 31. Yesterday morn
ing Sullivan got up early. He did practi
cally nothing on the day before, and yester
day he felt as if he ought to try and make
up for lost time, and he went in for regular
gymnasium exercise. He was dressed in a
heavy sweater and wore tights.
Alter Of few- seconds at punch
ing the bag he began to breathe
heavily. He kept up the violent exercise,
but strange to say, his heavy respiration
did not increase. He breathed scarcely any
harder at the end of an hour of hard work
than he did at the conclusion of the first
five minutes' exertion.
It seems to be a habit of the big fellow
to breathe heavily. He spent nearly two
hours working in Casey's temporary gym
nasium. Then he was.taken upstairs,
stripped and rubbed down. It is in the rub
bing down process that Sullivan's evident
lack of condition is most appar
ent. When he is stripped and
lying on his back his enormous stomach
seems to spread and jut out to twice the
size it is when he is standing up. His
breast and his sides are covered with loose
flesh that quivered like jelly when his at
tendants were at work on him. In his rub
down he was not subjected to the usual
punching and kneading, but was let off with
a rub down.
Too Mnoh FIrsli .Everywhere.
Sullivan'3 stomach Is not the only part of
hira that' does not look to be in perfect
order. His arms, neck and shoulders are
all heavily clothed with flesh, and his huge,
bulbous muscles are hidden lrom view.
Another peculiar feature about Sullivan's
superfluous flesh is that it is soft and white.
In texture it resembles that of a child. His
figure Is so rotund that his arms seem to be
shorter than they really are.
His legs, always thin, look thinner than
ever. One of the champion's trainers
argued that to take off any more of Sul
livan's flesh would only weaken him, that
the fight will only be of short duration
and that more hard work was. unnecessary.
Sullivan asserts that he is stronger and
better to-day than ever before.
Additional wagers made on the fight be
tween Sullivan and Corbett last night were:
Joe Lannon, Sullivan's old sparring part
ner, wagered 5200 against 5120 that the
champion would win. He has H0.000 more
to wager on the result Georee Bauman
has 52,500 even with John OMJeil, ot New
Orleans J. E. Ellis, of Albauy, thinks so
well of Sullivan that he has placed S1,000
to ?0U0 on the big fellow.
Combinations on the Result.
Nail Brothers, the backers of George
Dixon, are making combination books on
the coming fights. They favor Sullivan,
McAuliffe and Dixon. Jerry Moran,
brother of Frank Moran, Sullivan's man
ager, made a wager of 5800 to fCOO. -George
Downing, of Hot Springs, invested $1,350
to $2,500 that Sullivan would not "do"
Corbett in six rounds. Matt Clune wagered
5100 even that Corbett would succumb
to Sullivan's blows in eleven rounds.
Colonel A. H. Daniels wagered Jimmy
Wakely5550to 51,000 that Corbett would
win. Dick Connors, of St. Paul, left for
New Orleans yesterday. He made a wager
of5200to$100 on Sullivan. He has still
55,000 to bet Fred Harvey, of the Dixon
Vaudeville Company, offered 5500 to 5200
on Dixon asainst Skelly yesterday.
At the White Elephant, Gilsey House,
Coleman and Vanderbilt Hotels there was
plenty of Sullivan money afloat, with very
lew Corbett men on hand.
As the hour draws near for the meeting
of Sullivan and Corbett at New Orleans,
the interest in the match seems to be on the
increase. While few large wagers have been
made on the result, any number of small
ones are 'recorded daily. The prevailing
odds are 5100 to 5G0 in Sullivan's favor, and
those'who appear anxious to back the cham
pion say that money is hard to place even
at those'odds. Ever since Corbett appeared
at the Madison Square Garden on Monday
the betting has been more lively. Corbett's
fine showing evidently reassured some of the
doubting Thomases, and the backers of the
big Californian are now talking more con
fidently than ever. One wager was made
on Tuesday at 51,000 to 5600 in Sullivan's
favor, and another ot 5500 even that Corbett
would not win in 10 rounds.
Bookmakers Alter Iare Odds.
Al Smith is willing to wager 56,000 to
510,000 that Sullivan does not win. Book
maker Iievin wants still larger odds. He is
willing to wager . 52,500 against 55,000 on
the Californian. Charley Johnston has
510,000 that he would like to bet on
Sullivan at odds of 5100 to 570, but
claims that he can find no takers.
Jimmy Wakely said last night that John
ston had sent over 52,000 to cover SI, 200,
which ne heard someone wanted to put up.
But the Corbett man failed to materialize.
Billy Edwards, at the Hoffman House, said
that some money had been wagered there
at odds ot 100 to 70 in Sullivan's favor, and
that one man had bet 5300 to 5160 on Sulli
van. Sullivan and his backers go South this
afternoon. They will leave Casey's hand
ball court, on DeGrew street, at about i
o'clock. The party will drive direct to 'the
West Shore depot at Hoboten, where they
will take the "Sullivan special" at 6:30
o cloctlor JNew Orleans, going by way of
Buffalo, Cleveland and Cincinnati. '
The big fellow and his party will make
the journey in the handsomely fitted up
private car "Traveler." Among those who
will accompany him and look out for his
interests are: Charley Johnson, of Brook
lyn, and Jimmy Wakely, of this city, his
backers. The rest of the party will be
made up of Phil Casey, his
trainer; Jack Ashton, Billy Mor
gan, Frank Moran and the "Jap,"
his valet On the same train will be Mar
tin Hernen, Pat Cligeett, J. W. McCagney,
Steve Brodie, Mat Cline, Tim Itobinson,
Dominick McCaflrey, Mike Costello, John
J. Sullivan, John O'Nell, George Hansel,
Al Smith, Butch Thompson, and a number
of the members of the Manhattan Athletio
Club. John J. Sullivan has 55,000 to 54,000
wagered on his namesake, and McCagney
has" wagered 51,000 to 5600 on the big
fellow.
Corbett Will Travel In State.
Jim Corbett will travel in just as
much state as his big rival on the private"

It is upholstered in blue silk plush, and is
beautifully fitted up throughout Two of
the staterooms hare been made into one,
and this will be occupied as a sleeping
apartment by Corbett He will use the
same bed that he has been accustomed to
sleeping upon at the Brady cottage at Loch
Arbour.
Back of Corbett's room 'are two smaller
staterooms; then comes the library, and
back oi that, in the rear of the car, comes
the parlor, while back of that is an observa

DAUGHTERS OP LIBERTY.
They Refuse to Reduce the Per Capita Tax
and to Chance Becalla f r a Badge
Officers Installed and Appointed Other
Bnslness of Importance. '
Philadelphia, Aug. 31. .Vperia'.
State Councils will -not be established by the
National Council of the Daughters of Lib
erty. The body voted against the measure
to-day almost unanimously, and the dele
gates from Pennsylvania had their say
against the measure, because all States in a
position to take out a State Council charter
would not do so. A rather shrewd piece of
rork was done just before tbe adjournment
this evening, by which Past officers will be
deprived in the future ot a voice and vote in
the National Council.
There was a heavy opposition to the
measure and it looked as though it would
be defeated, but the friends of the amend
ment called it'up at a time when least ex
pected and rushed'it through before its op
ponents knew what had happened. In
about the same manner a measure was
passed providing that all officers in the Na
tional Council shall be elected and none ap
pointed, as now. In was stated on the floor
of the National Council to-day that this
would prevent so many "plirms" being
passed around by the Board of Officers vear
after year. The report of the Badge Com
mittee, which proposed to change the re
galia of the order to a badge, was voted
down.
The Per Capita Tax Discussed.
The first question debated this morning
was a proposition"!!) the form of a resolu
tion to reduce the per capita tax from 20 to
10 cents per year. There was a long and
fierce contention over this, some of the
members declaring that the present rat; of
20 cents per member was far more than was
necessary for the maintenance of the order,
now that the membership had grown so
large, and that money was accumulating in
the treasury. The board ot officers, how
ever, stated that they proposed spending
considerable-money this year in extending
the order and in other ways for its improve
ment, and the resolution was finally voted
dowu.
A resolution for the preparation and
printing of a funeral service for the use of
the order was also adopted. Another dis
cussion arose over a resolution that here
after no member of the Order of United
American Mechanics or the Junior Order
ot United American Mechanics engaged in
the manufacture or sale of intoxicating
liquor, either as proprietor or employe,
shall be eligible to membership in this
order.
The installation of officers took place
just previous to the noon recess, and the cer
emony was a most impressive one. xne
officers are:
National Councilor. A. E. Buridtt of
Wnterbnry, Conn.: National Vice Councilor,
G. E. Kepple, of Pittsburg, Pa.; National
Associate) Councilor, Mrs. L. A. Snddington,
if hew York Citj; National Associate Vice,
Councilor, Miss Sadio Gribben, of Pittsburg,
Pa.: National Secretary, W. O. Staples, of
Now Haven, Conn.: National Ireasuior, G.
II. Burton, of New York.
Ajipolntlvo Officers S'lfCled.
These are the elective officers. The other
officers are appointed. The representative s
to the National Council ot the Order of
United American Mechanics are:
Georgo B. Ludium, Jersey City; W. N
Simons, Norfolk, Conn., and Charles J. Dlt
tess, of this city. The appointive officers
who were named and installed are: National
Associate Seoietary, Mis. M. E. Mars, of this
citv: National Associate Treasurer, Mrs. O.
C noffman, Salem, O.; National Marshal,
Eva B. Uush. New York City: National In
side Protector, Mrs. O. W. Mills, Ohio; Na
tional Outside Protector, Edward Zacharias,
Pittsburg.
Some time was taken up in the discussion
of the recommendations made by the Na
tional Councilor in his annual report The
first of these, providing for the placing of a
paid organizer in the field, was disapproved.
In lieu of it, however, it was decided to
provide for the payment of a premium,, of
515 to the orgamzrr-ot all councils having
25 members or more when instituted. It is
expected that this will result ip the organi
zation of at least 200 new councils of the
order in the next year. There was consid
erable discussion over the recommendation
to change the time of holding the annual
session to the third Tuesday of October.
Some of the members favored the change,
but more did not, and it was disagreed in.

EXPOSITION HANDBOOK.
The Handsomest lilt of Printing Ever
Tnrned Ont In Pittsburg.
The new Handbook and Guide for the
Pittsburg Exposition lias just been received
from the piesses of Percy P. Smith, the well
known printer and litnojiiaplier, 20t and 206
Wood street. Tho Exposition book forsev
eial years has been a handsome publication,
but this year's book so fjr overshadows all
its predecessors us to be, in the vernacular
of the ever-present small boy, "Clear out of
Bidht.''
It is a book of about 230 pages, printed on
heavy enameled book paper and very pro
fusely illustrated. The cover is lithographed
in six or seven colois and is in itscuoneof
the haudtomest bits of work that has been
seen In Pittsbuig lor a long time. Each
page has upon it a lithographed tint and it is
over this that the type matter has been
u-intod. The half-tone portraits and cuts of
mildlngs were made by the I't.'Pits En
era vlng Company, and are not only well
mnde, but are splendidly brought out by the
piessman. Itisnototten that we see heroin
Pittsburg half.tono work so clearly and dfs
tinctly printed, and it Is a pleasure to know
that it can bo done here. Just inside tho
front cover ai e t wo pages containing the por
tiuits of the officers and directors oi the Ex
position. Then comes the piospcotus lor
tbisyeai's Exposition with a History of the
past and a resume of the industrial and com
moicial interests of the city. The bookwas
written by Will S.Power, and isalciedlt even
to bis easy flowing pen. The illustiations,
as has been said, aie of superior merit, while
the lithography and press-work are of tho
very highest Older. It is, taken as a whole,
the iiandsomest piece of work in its line ever
turned out in Western Pennsylvania.
It is a matter for congratulation to the
publishers that notwithstanding the persist
ent boycott waged acauist the book by
striking printers and innumerable petty an
noyances the publication is out on time and
is filled up with the advertisements of tho
best business houses of the city. The book
is for free distribution.

Chairman H. a Frick, of the Carnegie
Steel Company, was a visitor at his works
vesterdav morninp for the first time since
the eventful day of July 6. He arrived
early in the morning, going up to Home
stead on the 8:30 train. He was attended
by a Pittsburg detective. The pair left the
train at Munhall station and went right
into the works. Few people were met
along the street, and those who did see the
two men did not recognize the one with the
whiskers as the head ol the Carnegie inter
ests. On the inside of the mill Mr. Frick met
Superintendent Potter and Treasurer Cur
rey. Together they started on a tour of
the big plant. Mr. Frick's visit there yes
terday was for that purpose alone. He
Btayed in tbe works until noon and then
came out and took dinner at the Carnegie
Hotel. He was seen by a Dispatch man
after dinner. He said: "It was only a
desire to see the plant running with the
new men that brought me to Homestead to
day. I have been daily receiving reports of
how things were progressing and I must
say that the mill is running even better
than I have been informed.
The Strike a Thine of the Past.
"Our new men are doing their duty in a
way that is above criticism, and as to them
having ruined considerable machinery, it is
false. Tbe officials of the Homestead mills
have had a big task in starting the plant,,
hut they have proved themselves equal to
the duty, and their work gives me the high
est satisfaction. I never consider that we
have a strike on hand, now. It was broken
long ago, and it will be but a short time un
til the Homestead plant is turning out its
usual production."
Mr. Frick went into the mill again after
dinner and after a short consultation with
the officials crossed the river and went down
to Pittsburg on a Baltimore and Ohio train.
Hia in'it tn TTnmeRtead did not become
public property until about the time he left
the town. ' Soon all sorts of stories were
afloat as to his mission. Some enterprising
fellow tried to make the people believe the
Chairman was in town to declare the strike
oft. The majoritv ot the men did not put
confidence in this' tale for they knew such a
thing was highly improbable.
Tried to IJve on Promised Keller.
McMasters constables were at work
again yesterday. None of the Homestead
men were arrested, but several are likely to
turn up in jail this morning or before the
day is over. The constables made an early
morning visit to Duquesne and bagged John
Wyper. He is one of the men who is
charged with rioting at Duquesne several
weeks ago. Wyper claims to have played
in tough luck. He worked in Duquesne
before the sympathetic strike, and
when he came out he says
the Homestead Advisory Board promised
to give him aid. For the past couple of
weeks he has been living on a diet of prom
ised aid. The other day he had to send his
wife to her home. Since then he has been
hustling lor a job. Tuesday he secured
employment as hod carrier- and was to have
gone to work yesterday morning. He was
Just starting to his new task when the con
stables arrived.
Tne same officers also arrested John Nel
son, of Braddock, on a charge of rioting.
Nelson was a former Duquesne steel worker,
but has been carrying a hod lately. At
each of the men's houses a Pinkerton mace
was found. This makes the officers think"
the fellows had a hand in the Homestead
riot, The prisoners were taken to jaiL
Advisory Board Members Out of Sight.
No arrests of any kind were made in
Homestead yesterday nnd the day was
quiet. As on the day before there were
none of the Advisory Board members visi
ble. They all kept in the seclusion of their
homes, and only came out to attend the
board's meeting last night, at which nothing
of interest was done.
Adjutant General Greenland did not ar
rive in Homestead yesterday as was ex
pected. He tent the money to nay the
troops and it is not likely he will come at
this time. The warrant's called for J30.000
and will be used in paying the troops for 20
days' service. The State still owes 22 days'
pay to the men at Homestead. Lieutenant
Colonel Mechling is at his home in Butler,
and Major Crawford, of the Fifteenth Kegi
ment, is doing provost marshal duty.
Yesterday 45 skilled workers arrived at
the works. They came from Birmingham,
Ala.
There was considerable talk in Home
stead last night over the bearing of the Du
quesne rirters held in Pittsburg yesterday.
The testimony of the Pinkerton spies of
course was the topic. A number of tbe
more prominent locked-out men were asked
what they thought of the Pinkertons, who
nere members of the Amalgamated Associ
ation, giving testimony against the prison
ers. The general answer was that they
thought it not a remarkable occurrence.
The Pinkertons Surprised the Strikers.
They of course were greatly surprised
that spies had worked themselves into the
organization, but they cited the Molly Mc
Guire and an Eastern case as like incidents.
One man said it was fair enough since the
present was a time of war.
Hugh Boss l$ft Homestead yesterday af
ternoon to give himself up, but Alderman
McMasters said last night Hois had not
come to his office. He said he had 17 ad
ditional indictments against Carnegie of
ficials which he intends pushing. Several
ot them are in the United States Courts.
The borough of Homestead yesterday
sold 532,000 bonds at par to the "Freehold
Bank ot Pittsburg. Twenty thousand dol
lars of the money is to be expended for
water extension and the other 512,000 will
be equally divided among the tour fire com
panies. Many thought these bonds ought
to have brought more than their face value,
but the sale is considered good in the face
of affairs at Homestead. La-t spring 553,000
worth of bonds were ordered issued tor street
improvements, but these are Being held
back until the Squirrel Hill Street liailway
enters Homestead. The expense will then
be divided. The work on the road will
soon be started. The other (lav a piece of
land, fronting on the river and lying be
tween Amity and Ann streets, was pur
chased bv the railway company. The
bridge the road is to enter ou will be erected
there.

WIIL HEAE BUI OHE SIDE.
Sqnlre BIcMasters and Attorney Madden
Have a Tilt About Fi zaimraons.
John Fitzsimmons, one of .'the men
charged with rioting at Homestead came
into Alderman McMasters' office yesterday
atternoon with his attorney, John Madden,
and bondsman, to give himself up. He said
he had heard there was a warrant out for
him and did not want to give the officers
any trouble.
While tnetond was being made out, Mr.
Madden asked the Squire when he
would hear the case. Alder
man McMasters said on Saturday at
1 o'clock, but upon reconsidering he asked
Mr. Madden if Thursday at the same time
would not suit as well. Madden replied,
"We couldn't get our witnesses down in
that time, 'Squire."
"Well, that doesn't matter much," re-
Elied the Alderman, "for even if you did
aye them I would not take their test!-,
mony."
This rather surprised Attorney Madden,
who ald: "What, you won't hear thi
man's tide of the case?"
"No", bIb," said the 'Squire, "'the proie
cutlon is all that I will hear."
"What's the use of a hearing then," re
torted the attorney, "if w will not be per
mitted to prove that the man was not near
the place on the day of the riot."
"The State's side of the cae is fill that I
will hear," concluded the 'Squire.
The bond of $2,000 was then signed by
Patrick Fallon and the three men went
ont. Later, on the -street, Mr. Madden
said: "In all my experience at the bar I
have never before heard an Alderman talk
like that." ""
DIED A HATUEAI, DEATH.
The Accuser or John Harrison's Daughter
a Weak Minded Woman.
Greenville, Pa., Aug. 3L The
Coroner's Jury in the case of John Harri
son concluded taking testimony to-day, and
found that he had died from natural causes.
The body was re-interred without an ex
amination, as it was so decomposed that
nothing could be told from an examination.
The missing witness, Callle' Bicbardson,
was captured during the night. She testi
fied that Mrs. Cochran had promised her a
silk dresi if she would get the laudanum
the day Mr. Harrison took sick, and that
Mrs. Cochran gave her father a large dose of
it. The witness contradicted herself several
times, and was, also, contradicted by others.
She appears to be weak minded. It Is not
known whether or not the District At
torney will push the case any further.
