CARTER AND THE CHAIRMANSHIP.
Republican. Clancrnllj Kr-ga.nl the Beleo
Hon as n Good On.
WAsnmaTOif, July 18. The solccHon of
Mr. Carter as Chairman of the Republican
National Committee Is considered among
leading Republicans here as being a first
class choice and places at the holm a man
thoroughly fitted lor tho great work be
fore him.
llr. Carter is but 38 years of age, having
been born in June Furnace, Scioto county.
Ohio, in 1854. '
In 1805 he moved to Fana, 111., vhcro
he lived till 1875 Vfhcn ho moved to Bur
lington, Iowa. He studied law in Louis
vlll, Ky., and Illinois, belug admitted to
the bar in Nebraska. In 1882, he moved
to Helena, ' Montana, which is now his
home. He was elected Territorial delegato
to the Fifty-first Congress as its first rep
resentative. He was renominated in 181)0,
but was defeated. In March 1891, he was
appointed by President Harrison as United
Estates Land Commissioner.
Mr. Carter was one of tho Ave men
originally suggested by President Harri
son for tho ofllco of Chairman when tho
National Committee held its first session
in Washington three weeksiago. Hlsnmno
was withdrawn from the consideration of
the Committee for two reasons. He had
arrived in Washington from Montana
whither he went immediately after tho
Minneapolis Convention, only a few hours
before tho Committee met, and he said ho
could not consent to be elected Chairman
without an opportunity to consider tho
matter fully.
It was held by many members of tho
Committee that tinder tho rulos it was
necessary to choose a Chairman from
among the body of tho Committee's mem
bership, ami Mr. Carter was not a member,
nnd iu view of his personal objections to
taking the place ho was finally permitted
to withdraw his name. Even then, how
over, it was expected of him that he should
serve as Secretary, but in electing him to
tho Chairmanship the Committee uchleved
ono of its earllost plans.
When Mr. Carter was asked if the ac
ceptance of tho Chairmanship entailed tho
resignation of his position in tho Land
Office, ho replied: "I shall resign at all
evonts."
Tho selection of a Secretary will bo mod
within a week, Mr. Carter says.
A DETECTIVE'S STRANGE ABSENCE.

PniLAn.Ei.PHiA, July 18. Dotcctivo
Frank Qeycr, of tho City Bureau of Deteo

four weeks ago nnd since then speculation
has been rife as to tho oharacter of work
upon which he has been engaged.
It has been rumored that he was detailed

Livingston, S. I., July 18. Tho con
dition of George William Curtis is far
moro serious than has been mado public.
Nothing, however, can be learned at his
home concerning the result of the con
sultation of physicians. Dr. W. O. Wal
ser, the attending physician, said a bulle

cerning tho consultation. He said that
Mr. Curtis' condition was about the same,
but declined to say whether Mr. Curtis'
affliction was a cancer of the stomach or
not.

Homestead, Pa., Jv
The chame
leon is rivalled in
ftnglng by tho
situation in Homestei
rA. visit to the
little town to-day
ould not glvo an
adequate Idea of the many changes thnt
havo been worked since the trouble began,
and only the blackened piers of the land
ing at the Carnegie mills, the sunken
hulks of the Pinkerton barges, the prea-
enre of thousands of workmen and the
big niilltarv oamp on the hill overlooking
the gigantic plant bring to mind the
scenes enacted here since the beginning of
the month.
To-day the situation is at the beginning
of Its crisis. The Carnegie Company Is
endeavoring to begin repairing operations
preliminary to re-opening the mills, and
it has asked the workmen, meehnnical
and repairing force to return to their old
places, but so far to-day none of them
have gone to work.
These workmen met yesterday and de
cided to remain out. The company has
also given public notice that such former
employes of the Homestead plant who aro
satisfactory to tho company may file ap
plications for employment by 5 o'clock
Thursday evening.
These offers foreshadow a chango in tho
alrnntimi for thev R hnw thn ilptnmilnn- '
uro Luirvi.-il IU UO P1UJUI1I1IUIV vuiy tu LUU
employment of non-union meh if they fail
to have the effect intended.
A copy of tho notice posted up, inviting
applications for work, was taken to tho
Advisory Uommltteo wmie it was in ses-
sion. Some of tho men laughed at it and i
said it was "Frick's way of doing bus!
ness."
All the members of the Committee who
were asked concerning the effect of tho
notice said it would fail to accomplish
what the company hoped for. Men they
i said would not give up the fight in
suoh short order. They would fight to
tho end and refuse to bo tempted by ai
offers the company might make short csPa
concession of the uomands of tho Ami
I mated Association.
' The copy of the notice taken to thdMd
Tisory Committee was one oc tnoso given
to the press. This was compared
, with tho printed notices and it
was found that in the latter
tho last paragraph of tho copy published
in tho newspapers was omitted. Much
comment was caused by tho omitted
paragraph which reads as follows: "This
notico will bo tho last given to the em
ployes of tho works and after non-compliance
with this the places will bo filled
with non-union men."
"The omission of the section from the
posted notices shows the weakness of the
company," said one of the strike leaders.
"Its managers at first thought that refer
ence to non-union men would frighten us,
but mature consideration showed them
that we would see the ruse.
Other leaders expressed In substance
the same sentiments. An effort was made
by a reporter to see Supt. Potter at the
Homestead mills, but the watchman at
the gates said Mr. Potter had given him
strict orders to exclude reporters.
When the offers became generally
known the news created the greatest ex
citement among the locked out workers,
but from outward appearances the men are
uninfluenced by them in their determina
tion to fight the battle until the bitter
end. Those who express themselves on
the subject say thoy will not return to
work until the company nccedos to tho
demands of tho Amalgamated Associa
tion. If unity is maintained and the old mon
refuse to work, the starting of tho mills
by non-union workmen will be tho only
other move left for the Carnegie Com
pany. From to-day to Thursday the
crisis will hang in the balance ami then a
better opportunity to penetrate the mist
that envelopes the present situation will
conir.
Both sides admit that there is no imme
diate prospect of a settlement of the strike,
and already the cost is considerable more
than 1,OUO,000. Every day that the plant
Is idle costs the Carnegie Company $30,-
000. It is 10 days since the workmen went
out.
That means a loss of $980,000 to the
company. The militia have been under
arms one week, and at $20,000 n day,
have cost the State of Pennsylvania $140,
000. The cost to the company and State
now foots up $1,000,000, and is piling up
at the rate of $70,000 a day.
In addition to all this, the workmen lnso
their wages and ten men have lost their
lives. The destruction of property has
not been great, as the barges burned were
inexpensive.
Instead of sending in their names im in
dividuals and applying for their old posi
tions in response to the notice posted by
Mr. Frick on Saturday, the formfcr em
ployes of the Carnegie Company who are
not members of the Amalgamated Asso
ciation got together yesterday and unani
mously deoidod to stand out to .the end.
Tho meeting was hold in the rink. It was
called by members of the-meohanloRl de
partments, but it included all dally wage
earners. These men number about 2,000,
and includo the Hungarians. The meet
ing was attended by about 1,000 men.
Hugh O'Donnell of the Amalgamated As
sociation addressed tho men by special in
vitation, llu did not uilviso thorn iu any
way, but moroly stated tho condition of
affairs, leaving his hearers to decide for
themselves.
The meeting at Duquesne yesterday was
not much more satisfactory than was that
of Suturduy. It was held iu the piunio
grove, and less than 200 in all were pres
ent. Addresses wore made by Burgess
MoLuckie, W. A. Carney, one of the vice
prcsidenU of tho association, and a work
man named Huberts. The resolutions
passed by the mechanical department at
the meeting here in the morning were read
to them, but there was an ominous luck
of enthusiasm. Tho 2,000 employes there
of tho Carnegie Company are unorganized,
and du not want tu take part in the fight.
Their wages are not changed.
The men seemed in sympathy with the
sneakers, but were timid to an extraor
dinary degree, as if they did not dare go
to the lengths their feelings might lead
them. The threat of the superintendent
of mills had had its effcot. A resolution
was passed expressing tho sympathy of
those present with tho Homesteaders, but
there was no intimation that the sympa.
thy wouldfgo furtlier(than perhaps a con
tribution. Somo of those present Joined a
new lodge of the Amalgamated Associa
tion. There is little hope from the direc
tion of Duquesne.
Union men from Soranton and other
towns arrived in town yesterday and in
formed the Advisory Committee that Supt.
Potter had agents In Scranton and through
out the State importuning men to work
in the Homestead plant. According to
the statements made by these men the
efforts of Mr. Potter's agents have not
been successful.
Tho few non-union men now In the
mills 'tnke their meals in the pressing
mill. Hugo piles of boxes, barrels, bagi,
etc., containing provisions are stacked in
the pressing mill nnd in the ofllco build
ing abovo tho railroad trestles, One of
the men said to a reporter, who succeeded
in getting inside, that they had provisions
enough to feed several hundred men for a
month. He said: "We are being well fed
and having an easy time of It."
ON A SEC RET MISaiON.
Hugh O'Donnell, Chairman, Away on a
M.vstprliiua Trip.
Hommtead, Pa., July 18. -Hugh O'Don
nell, chairman of the Advisory Commit
tee, and the r'-nlle.lder of the locked ottt
' iron men, left town suddenly and mysteri
ously last, evening. His departure was
known onlv to the Advisory Committee,
and the stride -r secrecy was kept concern
ing it, fearing the effect it might have on
the action of vt nverinjt men.
He took nn ent bound train from Pitts
burg. 'The circumstances attending his
I leaving were in follows: He was expected
to speak at the meeting of Carnegie's 3,000
cmployos at Dunuesne, whom the Home
stead men hoped to indnoe to join in tho
strike. Just before the meeting O'Don
noll said he was in receipt of information
concerning a matter which imperatively
demanded a journey to the East.
llo was asked if the business hart rarer-
a ai... n- i i 1
and appointed Thomas C. Crawford to act
until his return. Mr. Cinword said to tho
correspondent;
"Mr. O'Donnell ho? goto on a secret
mission. I, myself, do not know where;
I did not want to burden myself with a
secret. He will return on Tuesday
night."
FflICK CONTRADICTED.
Carnefflo Prices Sulci to he len Lower
Thuti at Other 31111s.
PrrTsurna, July 18. In his testimony
before the Congressional Committee inves
tigating tho Homestead troubles, Mr.
Frick mado the statement that 290 men
were employed in open-hearth department
No. 2, and about 100 men wero affected by
I the reduction contemplated. Tho locked
out men have replied as follows:
I "There are 112 tonnage men affected by
the proposed reduction. They produce on
an average of 24 hours 230 tons of steel in
gots. In Shoenberger's open-hearth de
partment, nt tho same number of furn
aces ns ia No. 2, 108 tonnage men are re
I quired to produce 102 tons of steel ingots.
At ono particular position in tho two mills
' tho Homestead men would receive $14.15
per ton; In Shoenberger's he would receive
' $18. In Homestead, if any accident occurs
to the heat of the steel, the men get no pay
for it, whilo in Shoenberger's they would
bo paid by tho day, be the steel good or
bad."
ONE REGIMENT TO REMAIN.
Troops to lte Withdrawn 2ixt Saturday If
thi Situation Is No Worse.
Homestead, July 18. Preparations
have been made looking to the organiza
tion of at least one provisional regiment
to remain in Homestead after the main
force has been withdrawn. If the situa
tion does not assume a troublesome phaso
I by next Saturday the troops will be with
i drawn and the provisional force will as
I bume control.
I A consultation between Gen. Snowdeo
and some of his principal oflloers in con
nection with the organization of the pro.
I visional regiments of 000 men each Is said
I to have been held. Twelve hundred men
trained in military tactics would probably
prevent the recurrence of any moro dis
order.

Pittsburg, July 18. -Several days ago,

NEXT WEEK
BABLY THE LAST.
The Anti-Option Hill the Only Menstire
That Can Delay Udjnurnment The
Mouse Will Devote It Ail f to Approprla-
tlonsNlcht Sessions PiVbnblr,
WAsmxciTON, July 18.V-Qongress is
rapidly approaching the end df the session
nnd, in tho opinion of tho House leaders
this week will probably witness the clos
ing scenes. On the other hail, however,
the opinion prevails among tltA minority
that adjournment will not bo reVched be
fore the 1st of.August. The proW'dlngs
in the House this week will be confined to
tho consideration of the appropriation
bills. To-day is suspension day anil sev
eral members are expecting a glanns of
recognition from the Speaker to enable
tbera to pass special measures.
.ine mu to transfer the revenue mantle
service from the Treasury to the Navv
partment is one of the measures slated for
consideration. To-morrow at 1 2 o clock a
vote will be tRken on the World's Fair
proposition in the Sundry Civil Appro
priation bill, and It is probable a final vote
on the bill itself will nbto occur on that
day.
The report on the investigation of the
Pension Office will be called up on Wednes
day by Mr. Knloe. who hopes to have a clo
ture bill reported by the Committee on'
Rules in order to force a vote on the ques
tion of adopting the majority's resolution
that Commissioner Raum be dismissed.
The Deficiency and the Fortification Ap
propriation bills are expected to receive
attention during tho latter part of the
week.
Senator WaRhburn, of Minnesota, re
mains firm in his belief that there Is ft
force an adjournment just as soon as tho
last appropriation bill has been finally
disposed of, in order to prevent action by
tho Senato on tho Anti-Option ' bill, in
which he takes so -much interest, which
has passed tho House, and only needs
concurrence by tho Senate to send it to
the President.
He has shown by two test votes that
there Is a working majority of at least fivo
in tho Senate in favor of the cnaotment of
somo legislation on this subject, nnd he
thinks he can get the bill through without
material amendment If ho can only call it
up and make it unfinished business. His
chief difficulty lis iu the fact that so soon
as he starts with the bill an appropriation
bill is thrust in the road, and ho finds him
self facing no thoroughfare.
. The Minnesota Senator believes the an
nounced intention of Mr. Aldrich of Rhodo
Island to make a sot speech tin the "tariff
for revenue" resolutions of Mr. Halo somo
time this week, to. be part of the snmo pol
icy of delay, though tho amendment that
Mr. Aldrich wouldmako such n speech was
made by Mr. Ilnla when tie called up tho
resolutions on the 23th of June before the
Anti-Option bill came to the front.
Whether tho Minnesota Senator's sus
picions are well founded or not, it lj ap
parent that the Anti-Option bill is the
key to tho situation so far as an early ad
journment Is concerned. If that bill can
be postponed till December an adjourn
ment between the 1st and 5th of August
is possible, and even probable. If It gets
before the Senate as the continuing order,
with all the appropriation bills out of tho
way, there is no telling how long the ses
sion may last.
Senators who have voted with Mr.
Washburn to take up the bill are by no
means satlslled with It in its present form.
They will propose and will prob
ably carry amendments which will sand
it back for concurrence by the House, and
an almost interminable struggle may
thus be brought about.
There is really nothing else likely, to
delay Congress. The Sundry Civil bill.
even with the World's Fair boomerang
attached, can probably be disposed of in
conference in ten or twelve working days;
and the pending Fortifications and Defi
ciency bills are likely to occupy less time.
The notice paper of the Senate Ls fnll,
but "brutem fulmen" might be written
over overy suggested topic. Not one of
them is likely to be taien up except for
an hour or two's talk. No legislation is
contemplated on any one of them for this
session at least.
A meeting of the Committee on Ways
and means of the House will be held to
day for the purpose of fixing a day for the
final adjournment of Congress. It is un
derstood that the data will be July 20 or
27.
The Committee on Hules will, in all
probability, take favorable action on Gen.
Wheeler's resolution, providine for tho
holding of night sessions of the House, be
ginning suoh to-night and to continue
during the Congress. These sessions will
be devoted to the consideration of bills on
the calendar, to be brought up by the al
phabetical call of committees.
Congressmen! Anxious fur Adjournment.
Washwotok, July 18.-The listless
attention paid by members Saturday to
the debate in the House on the proposition
giving the World's Fair 15.000,000 in
souvenir coins and closing ti e gates ou
Sunday, is suflluieut evidence' that Con
gressmen are growing weary of tho
session and are anxious to adjourn, Not
more than 1UO members have lieen present
at any time for the past few days. The
advocates of thn measure under discussion
met with kome opposition and it is suf
ficiently evident now that there is a strong
sentiment against tho amendment.
The Monetary Conference.
Wasiiinqton, July 18. The Interna
tional Monetary Conference will ho held in
Berlin during the latter part of next
month, and the proclamation of the Presi
dent to this effect will soon bo issued. The
other countries that have joined with tho

YOUR EYES
When you ask for a bottle
of Wolff's Acme Blacking
see that you get the genuine.
The real article made by us
cannot be bought for less
than 20c. a bottle. It is good
material and worth its price.
There are imitations offered
claiming to be "Just as good"
for less money. Don't buy
them. If the " Just as good "
has any merit it ought to sell
without invoking the aid of
comparison with our Acme
Blacking.
