which was immediately thereafter or
panized br the local representatives of the
AmalgamatedAssocaition of Ironaud Steel
workers, and all our mechanics and mm
men, and even foremen and superintend
ents of departments were forcibly denied
admission thereto. "We were also notiUecl
by a self-styled advisory committee that
no fires should be permitted at the woroA
At last the men became excited to further
unlawful acts. This continued until yes
terday, when jve calted upon the sheriff of
Allegheny county for protection and as
sistance 'in regaining possession of our
property. Thetsheriff went to Homestead,
and" on his rettirn sent deputies to the
works and posred a proclamation, order
ing the men to disperse. His deputies were
routed and the proclamation torn down.
"The sheriff then, through his chief
deputy, attempted to take 300 of our
watchmen, who ware sent to the works
by boats last night. These men were met
more than a mile below the works by an
sirmed mob of Amalgamated men, who
followed along the river bank and hied
rifles and revolvers at the boats, ihis
shooting was continued for twenty-five
minutes before one shot was returned
from tho boat, which was not until the
boats we're tied up at our landing. On
the arrival of tbo boats the mob tore down
n large portion of the fence about, the
works, and filled the bluff above the land
ing, keeping up a continuous fire, wound
ing three of our watchmen. Then, and
not until then was the fire returned, result
ing, we are advised, in some loss of life.
The mob was so large as to prevent the
landing of the guards, who are at this
time in the boats awaiting orders from
tho authorities. We are not taking any
active part in the matter at present, as we
can not interfere with the sheriff in tho
discharge of his duty, and are now await
ing his further action."
Messrs. Knox & Reed are the lawyers
for the Carnegie interests. Jndge Reed
declined to talk, and ilr. Knox was loth
to say anything, but he finally made this
ttatement:
"In a time of great public excitement
like the present a lawyer has no business
to exprc-s an opinion on either side. I have
Hot tue facts in the case and cannot speak
iutelligentlv. A man has a right
under the law to protect his
own property with firearms if nec
essary. I do not know whether
these Pinkerton men were sworn in or not.
If they were not, then they had no more
uuthoritv than tho average citizen. ISo
'body, however, can deny their right to self
defense. Certainly a man has the right to
.protect his own nome with a rifle or to hire
men to do it for nun. Mr Carnegie could
not compel the employes to work tor un
hatisfactory waes. any more than the
workmen can pievent other men from toil
ing if they want to." .
Secretary Lovejoy of the Carnegie Steel
Vcompauv, when informed of the surrender
of tho Pinkerton forces said: "Well, I
am glad no more lives were lost. Since
icarly this morning we have been more
anxious about the. loss of life than the loss
of property."
"When asked whatthecompany was go
ing to do. he said: "Nothing. The ques
tion is now one for tho sheriff to settle,
and we look to him to do his duty."
One of tho most noticeable features of
the trouble so far has been that not a dol
lar's worth of property of the company
lias been destroyed by th strikers,

POWDERLY AND TAUBENECK.

Jman Powderly was seen hi' an Associated
Press reporter and asked for au expression
of opinion on the Homestead riot.
"I must absolutely refute to he inter

The case of the Homestead affair, the pres

similar to those that existed pi ior to tho
"war of the revolution has been forced upon
The people.

that something must ho done for the gen

-not only in Pennsylvania but throughout
Xhe eutiro country."
New Your, July 0 President Gompors
of the American Federation of Labor,
speaking of tho Homestead affairs tonight,
taid that the sweeping reduction of wages
announced by Mr Carnegie would m.iKe
paupers of many of the workmen there.
T'hero were l ights on both sides that must
bo considered. He was a conservative
man. and everybody knew him as such,
but in this case he believed it would bo
better for the men to die heroically than
ito starve to death slowly.
GOVERNOR PRTTISON.
PlTTsnUKG. Pa., July 6. At 1C o'clock
today Sheriff McCleary wired Governor
Pattisou that he was unable to copo with
the Homestead strikers, and askiug for in
structions. "I believe." said the sheriff,
"that it would bo suicidal for me to take
my men there. We could not hope to
cope with 5,000 men, aud I will do uot'iing
uutil 1 hoar from the governor. I expect
a rcfply soon, and will then know what to
'do. I think the governor will at once
.come on, and I hope for good results from
his presence."
IlABinsBlRO, Pa., July 0. In rcspouse
fto the telegram of Shorilf McCleary of
Allegheny county, couveying the informa
tion of the riot at Homestead, the gover
oior promptly rrspoudeil:
"The local authotities must exhaust
every means at their command."
Pittsburg, Pa., July C Upon receipt
jof the governor's telegram refusing to in
terfere until all means had been exhausted
by the county officials, Sher.ff McCleary
wired back the following dispatch:
"After it personal visit to the Home
btcad works yesterday morning aud a care
ful inquiry as to the snrroundiugs, I en
deavored to gather a force of guards at the
works, but was unable to obtain them. 1
then tent twelve deputies, almost my en
tire force, to Homestead, but they were
driven from the grounds. The mill own
ers early this morning sent au armed
guard ot 800 men by river. The boats con
taining this guard were llred ou v bile on
their way up the river, and wheu they at
tempted to laud at the company's grouud
were mot by an armed mob, which had
taken down the company's fences aud
taken possession of the lauding An en
counter ensued, in which a number were
wouuded on both sides. Several are re
reported dead. The coroner has jnt in
formed mo that one of the guards has
just died. The guards have not been able
to land, and the works are in possession of
the mob, who are armed with rill and
pistols, aud are reportedto have one can
non. The Ruarda remain in the b'irges
near the landing, having been abandoned
by the steamer which towed them there.
The civil'authorities here are powerless to
meet the situation. Au armed and disci
l nuiied force is needed at once to prevent
further loss of life. I would therefore
urge immediate action on your part.
"William H. McCleakt, Sheriff."
Ac nn Hffnrf, had been made by the
sheriff to becure a force of deputies after
the failure of the twelve men sent up yes
terday, the governor, after a consultation
with Adjutant General Greenland, sent
the following message to Sheriff McCleary:
"Your telegrams iudicate that you have
not made any attempt to execute the law
and enforce order, and I must insist upon
your calling upon the citizens for au ade
quate force of deputies."
On receipt of this telegram, tho sheriff
immediately issued tne following procla
mation: "All good citizens are-hereby summoned
to appear at the sheriff's office tomorrow
(Thursday) at 9 o'clock a. m., with arms
and subsistence, to aid the sheriff in sup
pressing tiie riot in progress at Homestead.
"Wm. H. McCleakt, Sheriff."
The issuance of the proclamation calling
for a citizens meeting tomorrow morning
caused a good deal of comment on the
streets, and the opinion was frequently
advanced t hat the movement was u taidy
one, very like locking the stable door after
the horse is stolen.
Harrisburg, Pa., Jnly 6 Governor
Pattisou has received a dispatch from
Colonel W. C. Connelly of Pittsburg stat

WEAVER'S VIEWS.
Des Moists, Iowa, Jnly 0 General
Weaver, the nominee of the People's party
for president, reached Des Moines this
evening from Omaha. lie was visited by
au Associated Press reporter and was
asked if he had any statement to make
concerning the Homestead riots. Ho said:
"I regard the situation throughout the
country as ery crave, and I have believed
for some time that we are Hearing a seri
ous crisis. If the present strained rela
tions between corporations and their em
ployes continue much longer they will
ripen into a frightful disaster. When
Rome was near her fall wealthy
barons had their braves. Our
corporation barons have their Piuk
ertons. They are an armed Oody of
cruel mercenaries and menace to the
peace of society and the lives of the people.
At this bidding bloodshed follows close
uoon heels of corporate tyranny. They
must be suppressed, and the terrible
economic conditions which have spawned
this cruel amry of thugs upon
the country must be changed at once
or the tepnblic must give away to
corporate despotism. The frightful
condition of afl'.iiis in Pennsylvania will
strike the whole country like an alarm
bell at midnight. Public sympathy will
naturally be with those struggliu? to exist
upon theearth, and for their wives and
little ones."
THE PINKERTON MANAGERS.
Chicago, July C. William Pinkerton.
manager of tho western branch of the
Pinkerton agency, declined to talk about
the Homestead affair. He said that it was
being managed from the New York office.
NEW York, July (J. Robert Pinkerton,
manager of the Now York branch of tho
Pinkertons, declines tosay anything about
the state of affairs at Homestead.
INDIGNANT WORKMEN.
Philadelphia, July C. A bitter feeling
exists among the labor organizations here.
The following circular was issued from
the headquarters of the American federa

"CITIZEN! WORKMEN'! AROUSE!"
"An indignation meeting will be held at
the public building in the open plaza on
Broad and Filbert streets, Friday evening,
July 8, 1S92, to denounce tho Pinkerton
Carnegie outrages and murders at Home
stead, Pa. Turn out in thousands!"
RETURNED FROM HOMESTEAD.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 7. The unwound
ed Pinkerton men arrived here by special
train fiom Homestead at 12:40 o'clock this
(Thursday) morning. They refused to
make nny statement, and are jiow at the
railway station waiting to take a train,
probably that bound for Chicago
ALL ABOARD.
Make haste. Your baggage is all right,

KANSAS DEMOCRATS.
TOPEKA, Kan., July 0. While the Dem
ocratic convention which assembled in
this city in the hall of the house of repre
sentatives this morning did not attract so
large a crowd as the Republican conven
tion of last week, the scene at the Throop
hotel was lively indeed. The corridors,
halls and stairways were crowded to their
fullest capacity with representative Kan
sas Democrats. At 10 o'clock Marshall's
military band inarched from the hotel
playing strains of music, whose harmony
showed that, at least the opeuiiiK exercises
of the convention were to be without dis
order. The delegatse 442 in number fol
lowed tlie music to the state house.
The assembly was called to orderat 10:30
o'clock by the chairman of the state cen
tral committee, Hon. W. C Jones of Lola,
United States marshal during the Cleve
land administration. The call was read
by W. H. Ii. Pepporill of Concordia, secie
tary of the committee.
A temporary organization was quickly
effected by the unanimous selection of
Tully Scott of Oberlin, for chairman and
W. H. L. Pepperill for secretary, and T,P.
Fulton of Olathe, and T. E. Leltwich of
Larned, as assistant secretaries.
Only one county had a contesting, dele
gation. The regular delegates, six in
number, favor tho indorsement of the
People,s party ticket. The opposing dele
gation wanted a straight Democratic
ticket named. Mr. Scott, upon taking tho
gavel, said: "Let us keep iu the middle of
tho Democratic highway." This senti
ment was received with a storm of ap
plause, lasting fully two minutes.
A motion was adopted instructing the
chairman to appoint the various commit
tees, ou credentials, rules, permanent or
ganization and resolutions, tho latter in
cluding one from each judicial district.
A resolution that the Kansas Democracy
was opposed to the blacklisting of railroad
employes, and one sympathising with tho
striking iron workers of Pennsylvania
were adopted and referred to tho commit
tee on resolutions.
The convention then adjourned till 2
o'clock p. m.
The convention reassembled at 2:30, and
effected a pormanent organization by mak
ing tho temporary organization the per
manent. A resolution was adopted by a rising
vote, expressing the great loss to the state
and party sustained in the death of Frank
T. Lynch, who was chairman of the last
Democratic state convention at Sal inn,
and extending profound sympathy for his
family and friends.
A resolution was adopted, amid cheers,
denouncing the "employment of Pinker
ton detectives by capitalists as a heinous
crime, for th purpose o destroying or
ganized labor." and expre -sing sympathy
with tho widows and orphans of tns
laborers who fell at Homestead in defense
of .what they believed to bo rights of
American labor.
A new srate central committee was
selected. It includes O. P. Coffin of
Hutchinson. M. N. Finney of Arkansas
City, T. F. Fitch of Wichita, J, 13. Chap
ma u of Ft. Scott aud J. M. McCoweu of
Emporia.
At 3-35 o'clock the committee on resolu
tions reported, aud thu report was unan
imously adopted. The platform indorses
the Chicago platform and nominees; de
mands a constitutioii.il convention; de
clares the Republican party not the friend
of prohibition and ridicules the claim of
the Republicans as a law and order party;
declares prohibition a fraud a failure; de
mands further protictlon to labor, the
election of railroad commissioner, a liberal
appropriation for the world's fair, and the
improvement of county roads.
At 4 o'clock the debate began on the
question of straight Democratic nominees
or the indorsement of the People's party
ticket.
The question of fusion came up on a
motion of Judire John Martin to indorse
the electoral ticket of the People's party.
Many speeches were made pro and cou,
and the motion was dually adopted by a
yote of 300 to '20. Judge Martin tlien mov
ed to indorse the People's party state
ticket, aud another long debate ensued, in
which Barney Sheridan, W. p. Seed and
W. C. Joues opposed the motion, and
John Eaton, Lew Beltz and Wiliiam C.
Perry favored it.
Then Judge John Martin, the leader of
the fusion fuel ion, took the fi or aud made
a strong plea f(.r co-operation with the
Pejpic's party in the endeavor to defeut
the Republican party iu Kansas. It was
11 o'clocK when he concluded the address,
which was greeted with j:reat applause
A vote w.i j t lieu taken on the motion to
endorse the People's party state ticket.
The motiou prevailed by a vote of 223 to
117.
The announcement of the vote was greet

of enthusiasm.

WASHIXGTOK, July 5. The conflict be
tween the workingmen at Carnegie's
works at Homestead, Pa., and the Pinker
ton detectives was called to the attention
of the senate today first by Mr. Gfalliuger,
who offered a resolution for an inyestisa
tiou by the committee on education and
labor, and afterwards by Mr. Peffer, who
proposed the appointment of a select com
mittee to inquire into the existence and
employment of Pinkerton detectives, and
what legislation is necessary to prevent
their further illegal use and employment.
Both resolutions were laid on the table
without action, and will be taken up to
morrow. The senate bill to increase the pensions
of those who lost limbs in the service of
the United States, and which will add
$70J,000 to the pension charges, passed.

Washington, July 6. The house waited
all day for a working quorum or for a re
port from the committee ou rules. The
anti-silver Democrats had a sufficient
number of members to call for the yeas
and nays on any motion, and, with this
power iu their hnnds, they filibustered
whenever the silver bill came, to the fore
ground Mr. Tracey's motion to refer the Stewart
bill to the committee ou banking and cur
rency was defeated, and then filibustering
preveuted action on Mr. Bland's motion to
refer the bill to the committee on coinage,
weights and measures. The Republicans
showed a determination to remain neutral
aud to allow the two factions of the Demo
cra'fs to fight the question out without in
terference. The river and harbor conference report
was agreed to, and the diplomatic and
consular conference report debated.
Representative Camiuetti introduced a
resolution calling for the appointment of
a select committee to investigate the
troubles at Homestead. The preamble re
cites that tho Republican party has con
tended that one of the maiu purposes of
tariff legislation is the protection of
American labor and to increase the pay
of wane earners in the protected indus
tries; that the industries protected by such
legislation have, instead of increasing
wages, reduced them; that Mr. Carneuie's
Homestead mills are a typical example ot
protected industry; that wages have been
reduced there; that the employes refused
to accept the reduction; that Mr. Carnegie
hiuaugurated a condition of feudal despot
ism at Homestead, , resultiug m today's
tragedy.
The resolution was referred to the com
mittee ou rules, and the house adjourned.

Washington, July 6. The anti-free
silver Democrats in the house will oiler no

tonight, believing that they have a safe
majority against free silver in the house.

STRANGE, BUT TRUE.
Insects Can Find Their Home Under i
Grratent UUlicnltles.
Exactly how insects, especially bees
and ants, find their wav back after hav
ing flown or been taken some miles
from the home Inve or ant mil. is one oi
the mysteries of animated nature. i
A 3'oung naturalist, who lived four-
teen miles from a large city, fre
quently made it a point to test this ;
homing instinct in the common Italian
bee. He would carefully color their
wings with red, blue or violet ink, pack
them snugly in a box and carry them to
the very heart of the city before releas
ing them, says the Philadelphia Press.
With few exceptions they were at
home working away unconcernedly
when tho experiments returned in the
evening. On one occ&sion, accord
ing to a Drcarransred plan, ho
tr-mod sK hoes lonv in tho citr at six
o'clock in the morning. lie had previ-
onsly colored the wings of eaoh with
red ink, so that his confederate znd co-
experimenter, a sister who also had an
entomological taste, could not possibly
be mistaken as to the exact time oi
their arrival.
The first one reached the home hive
at twenty-two minutes past two. Be
fore five three more of them had safely
arrived, but were seemingly much fa
tigued. At nightfall the fifth and sixth of the
home-lovinr little inserts had not put
in an appearance. Bright and early the
next morning, however, the young set- !
entists were overjoved to find all tho
red-winged honey gataerers naaamj

LAWYERS-IN SING SING.
One of Them Is Preparing a "Brief on Be
half of Auother Prisoner.
Sing1 Sing- has five lawyers among its
tenants. They were all ECnt there re
cently, and their connections with the
outside world have not "been broken off
so completely as in the case of convict3
who have served many years of a long
term. One of these lawyers has not
only not cut off connection with
the world outside but he Bpends his
spare time in the prison in reading
more law and in working at law papers,
lie docs not get fees for the services in
money, but it is a pleasure for him to
work at his profession rather than to
sit around and think idly during the
moments when he is not doing the tasks
imposed upon him by tho prison offi
cials. The New York Sun thinks highly
of the reputation and ability for shrewd
ness that this lawyer has that not only
has he prepared his own case on appeal
and prepared the cases of other prison
ers, but lawyers in New York who
know him from time to time ask him to
get up hills of exceptions in cases on
uppeal for them.
This interesting convict is Abraham
Suydam. He is Eerving a five-year sen
tence for grand larceny on July 12, 1S39.
His experience shows some of tho de
fects of the criminal laws of tho state,
though, as ho said, it is not so much the
depriving him of his liberty as that it
grieves liim as a lawyer to see anyone
committed to Sing Sing with such a
disregard of the niceties of tho criminal
law as was shown in his case. Although
he was convicted in November, 1SS9, he
was not sent to Sing Sing until May 19,
1S91. The interval he spent in the
tombs and did a fairly large law busi
ness there, advising other prisoners and
consulting about their cases. In Sing
Sing ho is looked on as a great au
thority on criminal law, and he is pre
paring a brief for James E. Bedell, an
other lawyer, who is serving a sentence
of twenty-five years for forgery, and is
crushed by it, while Suydam is bright,
chipper and intellectually active. Both
he and Bedell are at work on the books
of the prison, tho highest class of em
ployment there. They are well liked by
the officials, as they cause no trouble.
Ik there is one man who deserves a
life sentence it is the fellow who is
always trying to kill time. Ram'
