The first conference between the Be publicans of BuUer and Lawrence counties regarding the Judicial nomination, took place at the Leslie House in New Castle, Tuesday. Jno. M. Greer, the nominee ot this County was represented by Newton Black, Geo Maxwell and John Dindinger; and "W". D. "Wallace, the nominee of Law rence Co., by G. W. McCracken, H. P. Shanor G. "W. Lawrence. Both candidates were put in nomination, eight tie votes were taken, and then the conference adjourned to meet in Butler on Thursday, the 21st inst Free Silver in the Senate. - The United States Senate passed a free silver coinage bill as unqualified and un relieved of every saving grac* as it is pos sible for language to make it Even tho proviso that foreign silver coins should not be brought here and dumped into oar mints, was strioken out The silver plank of the Chicago Convention, which professes to express the Democratic faith aa to sil ver, and would have operated as a rule oi interpretation if placed in the bill, was laid on the table by the Democratic Sena tors when moved aa an amendment to the bill. The free coinage of a 600 grain sil ver dollar which embodied the recom mendation of the Democratic platform that the gold and silver dollar shall be oi the same intrinsic and exchangeable val ue, was also voted down, showing the in sincerity and essential dishonesty of the Democratic professions on that point Not content with providing foT the free coin age into United States legal tender dollars of all the silver in the world at a rate 50 per cent, above its present value, it is also ordered that the silver bullion now in the Treasury, against which United States legal tender.notes have already been issued shall also be converted into silver dollars. This bill passed by the vote of 17 Dem ocrats and 12 Bepublicans in favor to 7 Democrats and 18 Bepublicans against. Of the twelve Bepublicans eleven are from silver mining Statfißj_or from States imme uißieiyeflJPtgflig * is silver. The other Bepublican voting for free silver is J. Donald Cameron, of Pennsylvania. The eleven voted in ac cordance with what they had reason to be lieve were the interests and wishes of theii constituents. Mr. Cameron voted direct ly against the interests of his constituents, and is the only .Bepublican hailing from any Btate east of the Dakotas who had the hardihood to join the Democrats in voting to stamp as a dollar every 68 cents worth of silver brought to our mints. Should this bill beoonie a law and remain on the statute book long enough to worl out its fall effect, it would reduce by one, third the allowance oi every pensioner, the legal value of every savings bank de posit, and all fixed inoomes; and until a painful readjusting prooess had been gone through with, it would reduoe wages and salaries by a like amount. Free-silvei coinage means a rapid drop to a silvei basis, and the substitution of a silver dol lar at its true value, for the gold dollar at the legal measure of value. It means the exodus of gol4 and the reduction of the United States to the ranks ot the silver standard countries such as Mexico, China, and British India. It means the introduc tion for a season of a general state of insta bility by which sharp speculators will profit but the general body of the people will lose. Happily there is no danger of this result while President Harrison is in the White House ready to veto such vicious legislr. tion. The strength and audacity or the free-silyer men show, however, the urgent necessity oi electing Senators and Repre sentatives who will support the President in resisting such assaults upon the integri ty of our currency. As is very apt to be the case when vory important votes are taken, Mr. Quay was not present when this pernicious measure received the sanction of the Senate and the support of Mr. Cameron.—Philadelphia Press. Closed Against Americans. A dispatch from New Castle dated last Friday read as follows: In court this morning, the examining committee of the Lawrence County Bar Association asked to be excused from ser ving any longer, saying there were too many applications from law students to be admitted to the bar. D.B.Kurti stated that he had no less than three applications in his pocket at present. This statement brought forth some caustic remarks from Judge Haien, who was on the bench at the time. Said he: "We as a people are shutting our doors against young Americans learning any of the branches of skilled labor, and the rea son of this is the very stringent laws which are passed and rigorously enforced by la bor organisations. Go to any of the works where skilled labor is employed and see wbo occupy the skilled labor positions. They are Europeans. The doors are shut against our own young men, and about the only way an American boy can get an op purtnnity of learning a skilled labor trade is for him to hare some foreigner adopt him. It is a deplorable state of affairs, bat it is true. Go to our steel rod mills and you will tind that foreigners are in the best positions. T visited the Pittsburg Plate Glass Works plant some time ago, and found that every position requiring skilled labor was filled by an European. Understand me, the Europeans are filling those places, bat I deplore the necessity which exists for bringing them here. The bars are fast filling up in all the cities, simply because young men want to earn a living and the doors are shut against them by labor or ganizations and they are compelled to sta in Ohio some years ago, any man who could obtain the signatures of three Asso ciate Judges could be admitted to the bar, and as it was an easy thing to obtain these signatures the State was soon overrun with attorneys. The State was obliged to take a hand and put a stop to it, and now a man can not be admitted to the bar unless he first passes an examination before the Su preme Court. In Lawerence County we bare 40 attorneys, and in Butler Coaniy CO, and there is not enough business for one third that number. The examining committee will not be interfered with at present, and it is hoped that they will be awn stringent in (he future. rHE HOMESTEAD AFFAIP.. Homestead, Pa., a town of 12,000 inliab itants on the Monongobala, a few miles above Pittsburg, was the scene, last week, of a terrible and bloody enconntcr between nrganixed labor and the immense capital of the Carnegie Company. The facts which led to this conflict seem to be as follows: The wage agreement between the firm Mid the Amalgamated Association expired in July Ist. By it the wages paid were Sxed on a sliding scale, based on the market price of iron and steel. Recent improvements in the machinery have been introduced at Homestead which, accord tng to Mr. Frick, Carnegie's Manager, (could increase the output so much that a ower scale of wages in the case of some 528 men was necessary. Under this pro posed reduction, he stated, the men wonld ■eally make at least as much as hereto ■oie. This applied to men who were mak ng from $8 to sl2 per day. This was the irst point. It is said that the Amalga nated Association are now willing to agree ,o this and to the following point: Under the old scale $25 was fixed as the ninimum price for steel; that is, while the irice could go as high as it pleased and !he workers wages along with it, when it ivent below $25 per ton the scale was not iffected but remained as if steel were (forth $25. Frick asked to have it chang sd to $23. * The third point of difference was the late ot expiration of the gliding las heretofore expired on June 30. Frick Fished to have it expire on Dec. 31. This g the main point of difference. Tt really means whether in case of trouble at tlio jxpiration of scale, the workmen will have !rarm weather to fight in or will be antag >ni*ed by winter's oold as well as Frick. On this point both sides are firm. On luly Ist, no agreement having been reach sd, Frick declared the works closed. The workmen at once assumed control of the town of Homestead and everyone entering WM closely examined as to hisbusiness.and was ordered to leave if he could not give a good reason for his presence. Mr. Frick appealed to the Sheriff on Tuesday and Deputy Sheriff Cluley at tempted to take possession of the works on that day, and took the afternoon train for the seat ot trouble. As soon aa the train was brought to a standstill the deputies steppped down,and, forming a compact body, headed by Cluley started toward the gate, against which stood several hundred brawney mill men. Not a sound was heard save the heavy breathing of the strikers and the grating of the pebbles beneath the heels of the ad vancing deputies. They came within a few feet of the determined strikers, who looked them square in the eyes without flinching or moving an inch from their po sition before the gate. Ex-Sheriff Cluley advanced and in a clear voice said: "Men, we command you to fall back, and give us entrance tc the property of the Carnegie Steel Coropa ny, which we have been detailed tc guard." There was silence for a moment, when one of the workers stepped from the crowd and said: "We cannot permit you to enter thf mill. Tho property isn't in danger, noi does it require your guardianship, and w« think that should we admit yon to thif mill, it would bo against our interests, sc we will not allow you to enter. Sbouk you wish to return to Pittsburg we wil see that you get safely out of town. A messenger was immediately dispatch ed to the captain of the little steamer Ednf to raise steam and hold himself in ret»di muitiiMrrattia df-ftutips tf> Glenwood while a large guard of brawny worknrei gathered around the deputies and startc< towards headquarters,whsr< the men were to be kept till the boat wa; ready. The guard was hardly needed, as then was but little demonstration, and tho dep uties were taken through the 3000 work men so quietly that many didn't knov what was going on. Thirty minutes late word oame from the Edna that all wa ready, and the march to the boat, abou one-quarter mile distant, was begun. Eacl deputy was escorted by a workman, and i large forco of men took their position across the street, not permitting the largi crowd to pass and follow the deputies Not a loud word was spoken during tin trip, and the uninitiated had occasion t< think it was a funeral procession. Acting Sheriff Cluley brought up the rear of thi procession, with Burgess McLuckie, o Homestead, and when the riyer bank wa reached each deputy shook hands in tun with his escort, thanked him and steppec on board. Mr. Cluley was the last t< leave the shore, and as he stepped on thi plank waved his hand to tho boys, saying "I am much obliged boys for your kind ness, and now I will walk the plank. Thi Enda pushed off amid dead silence, am the little crowd dispersed as quietly as i came. Bnt the tragedy was to follow. Frick engaged 300 Pinkerton detectives and sent them by boats from Pittsburg, on Tuesday night,to land at the works and guard them. The workmen were informed of this and were gathered en masse to prevent the landing of the Pinkertons. The detectives were in two barges, iron plated, and towed by the "Little Bill" steamer. Before the barges were within 100 feet of the landing, that portion of the rivor bank was literally covered with millmen, brandishing their clubs, while some on the bank above were tiring their revolvers at the occupants of the boats. Up to this time there had not been a sign of life on the barges, but when within 50 feet of the shore the large doors at the end of the boats were thrown open and as many men as could conveniently stand on the little forward decks crowded qnickly oat. Through the rapidly coming daylight the men on the bank recognized the slouch hatted, blue-coated, heavily-armed Pinker ton men. Every one of the Pinkertons held in his hand* one of the deadly Win chester rifles, and though three score of the glittering barrels were leveled directly at the mill men as the boat neared the land, not a man retreated,but rather press ed closer to the shore in order to be the first to fall if necessary. The din was terrific as the lusty-lunged mill men vent ed their rage upon the intruders. "Don't come en land or we'll brain you, you dirty black guards!" they yelled. "Why don't you work for your living like decent men!' they howled. Not a word answered the Pinkertons, but as the boat touched the shore and a gang plank was thrown out, every Pink erton covered as many men as possible with his Winchester. Kage had now transformed the usually pracitic Home stead men into demons. They knew uo fear, but even jumed forward to wrest the rifles from the bands of their hated enemies. The last moment before the slaughter, as seen by a reporter who was within 40 feet of the barge, the crowd was surging down ward against sis of the leading mill work ers, who stood with their backs to the Pinkertons, fairly under the muzzles of the rifles, trying to keep the mill men back from what seemed certain death. Clear as a bell, far above the roar of the angry crowd, came tha voice of Hugh O'Donnell. as, hatless and coatless, he tried to check the angry men. "In God's name," he cried, "my good fellows, keep back! Don't press down and force them to do murder It was too late, the last word of the peace-maker's appeal was drowned by the sharp report of a Winchester from a ma.i in the bow of the boat. The first ball hac hardly left the smoking barrel on it mission of death ere it was followed by ; sheet of flame from a score of rifles in thi Pinkerton's hands. William Foy, win stood at the front with bis foot on thi gang plank, staggered and fell, bis lilu blood gashing oat. For a moment the vast crowd was strncl dumb by the attack. Only the groans o several wounded meu were heard. Ihi echoes of the rifles had hardly reached th. neighboring hills ere the crowed replied Out from the semi-darkness nfthe morninj flashed a wall of fire. The men on th. bank, too, had arms, and were mdng thorn The leader of the Pinkertons clapped hi; hand to his breast and fell, while severa sther Pinkertons staggered back and wer. 'arried inside the boat by their comrades At tho first flash of the Pinkertons ■ifles many of the crowd took to theii leels, but close to tho water's edge stoot ibout 200 of the angry men, firing then evolvors straight at the Pinkertons. Soor he latter, vnable to withstand such fire ■etreated into tlieir cabin and fired froa inder cover as quickly as possible. Wher ho men on shore had emptied their re rolvers. they retreated up the bank jreeting every shot from their enemies rith a defiant cheer. It is remarkable that among that vasl ot of Homestead men not a gun was seen, >ut after the first attack messengers flew vildly to the town and in a quarter ol ac lour, armed with rifles, shot-guns,musketi ind everything in the line of firearms, they cere hurrying again to the scene of battle The Pinkertons kept rather close undei wver, but when the mill men came down ,o the water and asked for a conference ,ne was readily given them. The spokes nen of tho Pinkertons eaid they didn t in end working, and a voice from the crow.] inswered: "You fellows wouldn't work; ts against your principles." This evident y ended the conference, as the speakei shouted: "Yon fellows have been blowing ;hrough tho newspapers what you were exciting time than the morning. Ilu crowds about the railroads, tho yards o the works and the river bank increased the greatest expitewent prevailed and tht most inflammatory utterances Vere hear" The universal demand was re.euge tor tut death of the men slain in the morning The Pinkertons were ready to capituiatt by noon, but tho ejpited Homestead met wanted nothing less than thejr lives Three times they showed a white Hag their supposed object being to surrende: and gut yqt of town As often was th< flag riddled with bullets or shot off th. stick on which it wa» upheld, from tin Hh °They havo killed our comrades! Lc n. Wo their lives;!', was an expressioi Ttrnrrr — » c- — ol the water!" "Set tho-r boats on tin and burn the thugs alive! ' and "They ar. murderers ! Xo quarter,' wero cries echo ed cwywere. and the 2,000 or more mer who by 2 o'clock had possession of th. mill yards were disposed to act upon th. sentiments. , . It was safe to walk through the yard; at that hour, for the men in tho barges hat ceased U show fight, and if over a Pinker ton man pray a J-hpy were propably cower ing in the bottom of their -raft, lnvofcwf divine assistance to deliver th-m .ron what seemed like a most certain and nios horrible death. ... , On the right bank of the river abovt them was a cannon which over and anoi vomited a shower of slugs and missiles up on the iron roofs a? the barges which alon. protected them from destruction. Anoth er cannon was planted on the Hrat«doi;l side of tho river and seemed th.e more pow erful of the two threatening engines o death, for its volleys of slugs, were heaviei and the aim of the amateur gunners 11 charge of it was better. How uscy mer were dead inside the two barges it was im possible to tell, but no one seemed ti donbt that tie work ( >i tho riflemen hat, been most deadly. li*t the unljroen expe rienced no relief in the burning desire toi revenge, au.l the most diabolical ingenuity and the most untiring energy were exert ed in tho direction of bringing the misery which all knew to bo hidden behind and beneath the sides and tops of tho lowlying barges to a 2&eiy o f bloody end. Min chesters, shotguns and muskets continued to spit spitefully toward tho low erati, an answering shot coming at tho rarest inter vaU and the cannon were loaded and dis charged yith unceasing regularity. The supply of ammunition possessed by the Homestead men is cifciwe.d to be inex haustable. They had powder w shelh iu abundance, plenty of gnus, with more in easy reach, and a supply of dynamite to fall back upon as a last resource. The combined use of dynamite and oil wa* be ing considered and prepared for when the arrival of President William SVe.ho nail his assistants averted death from probably nearly 300 men. .... The firing of oil tanks hail beeu tried in the morning in the hops that the blazing fluid would run down into the river and destroy tho barges with their human freight. The plan failed and the meu who framed it thereupon proved themselves most fertilo in ideas of destruction. It was decided that they should tleluge the barges with oil, and then by means of dynamite cartridges or in/lamniablowaste shot from the cannon, set them on fire. The Pink ertons must then perish miserably by drowning or fire, or come out on the bunk to be shot down, as tho men say their comrades wer#. There were plenty of facilities at hand to put this into operation. Near the river were two tanks partly filled with oil, and the mill buildings near at hand were stored with barrels of it for use in the machine shops or for filling the huge tank in which great masses of steel are tempered. The volunteer fire appara ratus of Homestead was procured, connec tions weio made with tho tanks, lines of hose were run out as far as possible with out exposing their manipulators to abso lutely certain death, if tho Pinkertons chose to bring their rifles again into play. Streams of oil were soon running upon or dangerously near tho barges. The arrival of Amalgamated aflicials at this moment changed everything, and the Bag of truce of the detectives was recog nized and they were allowed to surrender. The/ were forced to march about a mile from the barges to the building and on the way ran as awful a gauutlet as ever sav ige races forced tfcfir victims 1.. pass .hrough. Hundreds of men aruieij wMh club** wen; Rationed along the line a"d the appear knee of a l'iukertoii was the signal lor icores of blows upon his defenseless head. Even the women assisted, throwing rocks, lust, etc. This work was tint done by he strikers, it is said, but by the roughs of he town. The pinkertons were shipped o Pittsburg that night and placed in ln>s litals and iu a day or two were sent to heir homes in Chicago, Philadelphia and few York. Thus the strikers won at every point in he first great battlo between the forces. On Sunday, Gov. pattison, in response to a call from Shoritl McCloary ot A lie ghetiy county, ordered the entire National Guard of the State, which consists ot eleven regiments, three troops ol cavalry and three batteries, und numbers in all over 8000 men, to move to the support ot the Sheriff in preserving the peace ftt Homestead. „ . . The correspondence between the ntticiais was as follows: Pittsbcko, Pa., July 10. To Robert E. Pattison, Governor, Harris burg, Pa. The situation at Homestead ha.- not im proved. While all is quiet there, the strikers are in control and openly express to ire and to the public their determina tion that the works shall not be operated unless by themselves. After making a 1 eCorts in my power, 1 have failed to se cure apo sc respectable enough in num be s to accomplish anything, and I am sat islied that no po»e raised by civil authori ty can do anything to change the cond t'on of affairs, ami that any attempt by an inadequate loree to restore the right of law will only resnlt in further armed re sistancc and consequent loss oflife.
