XO CHANGE AS YET The Locked Out Men Remain Firm IN THEIR GRIM DETERMINATION Not to Allow the Pmkeitons to InvaJe HoraeteaJ Strict Watch Is Maintained. HoMrsrrap, July 10, 410 a. m. Men are assembling at Munliall station, a half mile above here, and mouuted meu are also on guard at Hastings, below Homestead, ready to spread the alarm at the first appear ance of Piokerton men. It ia the be lief of many of the strikers that the detectives , may oe unloaded at Miller's grove on the Baltimore A Ohio railway, two and one-half miles across the hills, and from there march to the works. Wheeuno, W. V., July 9. Five spe cial passenger coaches were attached to the It. AO. tiain from Chicago which passed through this city at 6 p. m. on its way to Pittsburg. The cars were not run into the depot and were switched direct on to the Pittsburg branch. Special pre cautions seemed to have been made to prevent an examination of the coaches, and they attracted no particular atten tion. Homemead, July 9. Burgess Mc Luckie went to PitHburg this afternoon, where he held a conference with Sheriff McCleary. The situation was reviewed at length. The burgess pointed out the fact that the Carnegie nulls are not in the town of Homestead and that there is no trouble in the town which equires the intervention of the sheriff. He claimed that the town is orderly and that citizens or visitors on legitimate business are not interferred within any way. The conference did not result in any change in the situa tion. Although the town authorities say that no one is interfered with, every stranger who arrives i watched from the moment he alights from the train until his identity is established newspaper men are particularly subject to espionage, and they are stopped in different parts of town and compelled to give an account of themselves. If they fail to answer satisfactorily they are practically placed under arrest un til some reliable citizen comes forward and Touches for them. Sev eral instances hare occcurred today where representatives of newspapers were told by the press committee of the strikers that unless they were more careful in their reports they would not be permitted to remain in town. One of the leaders in a talk with a reporter for the United Press said today that if the Carnegie people do not come to a settlement and attempt to fctarve the men into submission by keeping the Homesteal mills idle while urgent contracts are filled by the Carnegie company at Braddock, the men are in a position to compel a strike at the latter place. Homestead, July 10. 1 a. m. Two hundred and fifty pictket men are on the hill tops overlooking the B. A O. railway tracks. They are well armed snd any attempt to take the works by force will be met with a warm reception. The town is seemingly fearful, but word has been passed to house and armed men are hurrying toward the point of vantage selected. AT THE MKKCY OF FLAMES. Homestead's Water Works Failing. Pinkertons m the City. Homestead, July !. Should fire break out tn Homestead, which is not unlikely in case of trouble, the town would be practically at the mercy of the Haines. Yesterday the startling discovery was made that the reservoir basin, by which Homestead is supplied with water, had sprung a leak and al ready three feel of water had leen I st. The basin is situated on a hill above the town. Into it the wnter is pumped by machinery, and those in charge aim to keep fifteen feet always at hand. Since the leak started the supply has been reduced to eleven feet of water, and strenuous efforts are being made to discover the leak. At the same time the pumps are put to their full working power in the hope of maintaining a supply aufh cienttocope with an emergency, and the chief of tho fire department has taken other precautions to prevent dis aster from flames, lie has contracted for 2.500 feet of hose, tn addition to the amount now at his command, and this will t distributed at points where it may bn used to the twst advautage. Mra I'tnkerivita I'rsmUrd. It is reasonable to suppose that a further attempt to place I'inkerton men in the works would result in in cendiarr fire. A mob of men abso lutely !eyond tne control of their lead ers and with the b -l.ef in their minds that hired assassins bad come to take the bread from the mouths of their wives and children, would oley no orders except those torn of Hie jtasaioo and impulse. Should tne Piukerlon men gain poeevion of the works and but heads posea a desire to dislodge them by fire, oil and other inflammable materal would te near at hand and the design once suggested could l carried out in short orter. It is obvious that the Homestead fire de partment occupies an important and respone.ble ..o,tion. The almost gen eral i-enei mat rmceuon men are in Homestead engaged in obtaining in format, on tor tne Carnegiea is well ex preeaed in the columns of a local paper ia the following manner: " There scers tot no doubt Hit that ther are a few Pinkerlon men in town who are mpiojed m getting a list of the wounded and others who were active participant in the riot." "As a word of warning it behooves our peopie to be quiet on the subject and give them no opportunity to find the objects of tueir search. In talking f the matter, let no names be mentioned and their erraud w.lltheu be fruitlrss." he rujstery surrounding the diap peaiauce of eome of the pmkrrlcn men has not been cleared. It is nut believed that the meu seen to jump or fall over tsjard from the burning threes man aged to eacape ahv although it is said a large numlr of the detectives de serted the barges as they placed Lock No. 1, and tnat others lost themselves in the crowd and got away after the surrender. The Uxjies of two unknown men have Urn found in the Mononga hela river within the past twenty. tour hours and many think they were Pin kerton men. One of the locked -out workman maintains that he saw the body of a mau lying in the river near the tcene of the tragedy, while one of the Pinkertons said he saw two men jump from the burning barges into the water and sink. Yesterday a I'nited Press representative saw two men in a boat at the Caruagie works bridge en gaged in dragging the river, presum ably for bodies. NO TROUBLE ANTICIPATED. The Situation Is Not Alarming and a Quiet Sunday Is Assured. Homestead, Pa., July 9. Although no trouble is expected for at least forty eight hours, aimed guards patrolled both banks of the river all night and watched all approaches to the Carne gie works. The feeling among the citi zens of Homestead tonight is that Sun day will be a day of quiet. Neither nide will take any steps to precipitate trouble, ana both will wait until Mon day before deciding upon any steps either toward a compromise or to force a surrender. On Monday, however. there is no telling what turn affairs may take. A rsh atep on the part of the" Carnegie people will surely cause trouble. The locked out men have been held in check since Wednesday by their leaders. They have leen remark ably submissive, but they are growing imDatient, and no man knows what the outcome will be if thev break away from their leaders and settle matters iu their own way. CARNEGIE WON'T TALK- He Has Implicit Confidence in His Man Frick.' Lospojr. Julv 9. Word waa received here tonight from' Mr. Carnegie's sum mer home in Scotland. The coaching party has reached its destination at the bead of the Loch, a few miles from Kinloch, after three days' ride from Edmburg. An efiort was made to induce Mr. Carnegie to give expres sion to bis views of the situation at Homestead, and the future course of the corporations, with which he is identified. He positively declined to discuss the matter and reiterated the statements attributed to him that his confidence in Mr. Frick as the repre sentative of the Carnegie interests is implicit and that the conduct of affairs at Homestead meets, with his unquali fied approval. ' ' Reporters Given Badges. Homlsteap, July 9, The newspaper correspondents met HughO'Donnell by invitation at the headquarters of the Amalgamated association at 8:30 p. m.

Romfo, Mich., July 9. -The indigna tion created by the conduct of Rich's managers in Macomb county's conven tion is rather greater today than it was when the action taken was first re ported.

Archbishop Ire land of St. Paul, Minn., who has just returned from Rome, where he went to defend the so-called Fairbault school system, was up early this morning. "My nstf to Rome," said the arch bishop in reply to a question, "was eminently successful. I achieved what I setont to do. and I am very much pleased with the result. 1 advocated the Faribault plan with all my heart and soul, and the Pope has acceded to my request to let it stand. The formal reply to my request was toterari protest, which in strict English means that it cau be tol erated. My opponents said that the reply was one of disapproval. 1 do not think so: in lac, to those versed in canonical phraseology it signifies ap proval in the-Kst senoo. "I Oav bad a delightful trip," continued the arch bishop, 'ai.d my health is of the het." The prelate' looks confirm hu words. Htseyet were clear and sparkling and his face was tanned and well rounded. Archbishop Ireland waa very reluc tant to speak regarding the cardinal ship to which it has been reported he will be appointed. "All rumors that the place is going to me," he declared, "are ' groundless. My name has not been considered in reference to it and I hope it will not. 1 am mortified that 1 have been mixed up in it. Any re port that 1 nave been taken iuto ac count for the cardinalship or that it will be offered to me is only idle talk." The archbishop was very generous to Ins opponents hi the Faribault school trouble and declined to discuss them or their methods. A c!oe friend of his was more willing to give the arch bishop's side of the question. "J he archbishop," he said, "has won and doesn't care to go into detail, by ad vice of the pope, who has counseled ptudence. He has been indicated in his dispute with his opponents. Some still nit st that the pope's decision was really in condemnation of the Faribault plan, but this is not so. In myopimon Archbuhop Corrigau at heart supports Archbishop Ireland and the Faribault plan, although he has len opposed to it in the Iuitimore diocese. He per mits the plan to exist at Pough keeps.e, where Rev. Dr. Mc5weney has such a school. Recently Arch bishop Corngan appomtM Fr. Nilan, who is pastor there, an irremovable rector, although the Halt-.more decrees provide that where ever is an irremov able lector on 'y parochial echools can exist. In appointing Fr. Nilan an ir removable rector Archbuhop Corngan has put his sanction, I think, on tbe Faribault plan." Archbishop Ireland admitted that when in Rome be presented a memor ial to the Pope. What it contained he declined to reveal. The archbishop has had many callers. 8ome who have seen him are Fr. Tetnt.lhan of Ft. Paul, Prof. O'iorman of Laittraore and Prof. Houquillon of Baltimore.
