X one ot the strikers, who is himself at liberty
X nndar ths same bail on the same accusation.
f , lawyer lirennan and Lawyor Cox spent ths
1 night in digesting tho hard shot that Judge
jj Ewing flred into thorn from tho benoh when
, ths cases of Mr. Lovojor and the others were
i under consideration, and they had concluded
"' pot to oppose tho giving of ball In the cases of
'r ' any of the men. The Judge had sot the hear-
v Ing down for 0 o'clock.
;5 To avoid a crowd ho eat In his own private
!" room instead ot in tho main court room, and
" I no one was permitted inside who was not con-
, nected with the cases lh some way. The
' Judco camo In armed with a lot ot law books.
!' Attorneys 13rennun and liurleigh of the
's prosecution were tho first to come
Into court. They were soon followed
, ' by the other attorneys in the case.
' District Attorney Burleigh held a short
consultation with tho Judge. Dover and Mo-
r Connell wore brouijht into court at 0:!t0
j o'clock and placed boside their counsel.
Ill Alderman King and Constables Walls and
II Stewart wore also present Judge wing
If. asked if the defendants wero prosent fie was
II told thnt Corey and Potter would be in court
k In a fow minutes. District Attornoy liurleigh
m'j then said:
Wfh " After a careful examination of the facts in
D' this caso I have como to the conclusion, after
BJ" consultation with the private counsel, that
B,t there will be no objection to theso dofendants
MK givlnc ball. In view of your Honor's view of
H the law in this case, and your ruling as to the
ITji' rights ot tlie respcetlvo parties in this case.
i , we feol constraiuod to make no objection to
,f their release on ball."
H Jlr. Knox Vou made Buch n blow of trum-
;' pets last night about what you wero going to
j show that we would llko to hear your casu.
H Mr. Cox Well, thorn is no use of a hoaring
K'4 when we admit tho offence is bailable.
. Judge l.wing Lot them give ball in $10,000
" . each. Whom uo you offer?
Kl v Mr. Knox -Tho same bail, Messrs. R. B. and
UL, A. W. Mellon, the bankers.
IHB Judgo lining I would take their personal
r obligation tor S.000,000. but they are already
1 1 -3r- on (our bonds ot $li),0(KJ each, and these will
Ki '. make four more. J will morolyask them it
K they are north $80,000 each, and I feel sure
Ke . I tliey are.
K.i The two bondsmon quickly answered that
v I 1 they wem each worth more than 80,000 and
-1 ; save Loads.
I At this point Superintendent Pottor and Mr.
, I Corey came In nnd personally waived a hear-
tmr I ing and entered bail in tho sum of $10,000
IK I each. Nono of the Pinkerton men were
L , I arrested to-day, although all of them,
, except tho l'lnkertons themsolves, woro in
TU.: I town. The coiihtahlcs said they could not find
.v I them. 'J ho detects os said they woro ready to
jv I be arrested us f-oon ns they wero found, and
1 they mndu nu effort to hide. Tho officials of
i'l the Carnegie Company said that there would
be no trouble about getting ball tor tho detoa
k, j r tlves as soon as thoy wero arrested.
4' i Afterthe hoaring Lawyer lirennan was asked
; f. ' tils reason for dot opposing tho application for
' J ball made by Mr. I'ottor ho had announced
tf i that ho would do so. He said that aftor ths
jt lntorpretatlon of the law by Judge Kwlog he
H "s- did not think it would have beon any uus to
W-.-1 ' nave opposed tho application.
I "Are rou going to oppose tho application ot

tl " No, I .do not think wo will. Whatwouldbe
tA tho use i"
i j ,"r?.srou no olne to try nnd keep tho
jfj " Pinkerton mon In jail I"
;r4 i'.1 --a 110 """- that we will."
ill , Mr. Brsnnan then said that ho did not think
;' Informations would be madnagalnst any other
ill ?f th? Pinkerton men who were on the barges.
I- "It is dimoult for us to gt the ovidence
It against those men." he said, "and I do not
rB' think thoy are worth ths powder."
W) " Will you mako any further informations
K ngainst the ofUclalsof the company?" ho was
Wg asked. He answered that he thought more In-
formations would be made, but it would bo a
Jf" a week or two before they were. Thoy would
accuse tho men of conspiracy to cause a riot.
II I . y. Beck, ono of ths counsel of the com-
M panr, was asked tills afternoon what he
'1 thought ot tho arrest ot the officials. He said;
1 "Judge Lwlng was not at all backward in ex-
; -m pressing his opinion as to who wore ths ug-
IB' jrressora in the Homestead fight. His lan-
M- gunge could not bo mistaken on that point.
H? II Tho Carnegies at tho time ot the light
IB- If . ,. were in possession of their property in
H. II a kind of a way. That is, they had
H B ths watchmen hiied by them on duty there,
! " and, being in possession of their propurty, had
u perfect light to tit whom they pleased In
tho works. Why, if thoy wanted, the luwcavo
' them the privilege ot putting a band of sav
K ages armed with bows and arrows and spears.
as far as that goes, but some people think that
V because the compan y wished to put only watch

Fmnnuiton. Aug. 4. "Fourteen hundred
men aro nt work in tho Homestead mills to
day," said Becrotary l,ovojov to-day, "nnd
everything Is running satisfactorily. The mon
nro all dolnc good work, much bottor than wo
expected. Tho reports that somo valuablo
machinery has been brokon by thom is not
true: thattholrworklsfullyupto tho stand
ard ot tho old men is proved by tho fact thnt
tho finished armor plates nrs accepted by the
Government inspector after tho rigid tests
that theso men mako of all tho work done."
Another offiolnl of tho company enld: "Wo
started up the ait-Inch mill on slnglo turn, nnd
now havo n largo number of repair nnd con
struction mon ongngod in placing the new
HcsRomor comcrtlng mill In rondlnoss to
operate We cannot got along well without It.
It will not tako much oora wcoktohave it
in ordor."
Tho moans rosortod to hr tho strikers to got
nn approach to tho non-union men in the mill
nro numerous and novel. Yestorday thou
sands of circulars wero prlntod in florman
and Lnglish. Theso circulars woro addressed
to the non-union men. who were requested to
leave tho mill nnd "prove themsolves worthy
to bo called men." Thoy woro told not to be
llevo tho statements by their employers
thnt It would be dangerous for them to
como out and mingle among the union
mon. Tho clreulnr assured thom that
eery man leaving tho mill would bo heartily
recelvod. that no violence would be offered,
nnd that the Amalgamated Association will
aid eery man leaving the company s employ
to reach his home. Armed with hundreds of
these circulars a commlttos bonrded a Pem
jck" train, having purchasod tlcKptB to
ltraddook. As they passed over tho trestle
which runs directly through the works,
the committee threw the olrculnrs
from tho car windows nnd from the
platforms, and the mill yaru was soon filled
with thom. Ths workmen plckod thorn up
and read them. It la said that as soon as the
company officials learned of this movement of
tho strikers they ordored several watchmen to
tnko up a position near the railroad trestle and
conllscateany and all reading matter thrown
from passing trains.
Houses for "OO porsons are to bo erected
within the mill yard. The company this after
noon began excavating for foundations for
several substantial housos west of the com
pany offices nnd In the yard facing on Llghth
avenue. Speaking of this little town behind
tho high whitewashed fence a company
official said:
" While many of our new employees have
socured houses across the street from the
works, into which they will soon put tholr
families, there are hundreds ot unmarried
men who will bo unable to obtain board out
side thnmllL Wo will have, to take care of
them for at least six months, and the now
buiidlncs will be for their accommodation.
Seonil families will also bs provided for in
the same way."
Thcrolsa bitter feeling among tho strikers
to-day oer the hasty manner in which Judge
Kwlng pushed the hearings of the call of the
Carnegie Comjiany ofllclnls. A Brent many of
the men had an Idoa that the officials would
have to go to prison ns did O'Donnoll. Boss,
nnd others among tholocked-out men. Some
were disposed to lay tho blame on the con
stables, and say they wero not careful in the
fierformance of their duties. If they had been,
hey would have sought the officials In the
evening after oourt had adjourned, and then
there would havo been no hope of keeping out
of mil.
The situation nt the Union Mills in Pitts
burgh Is unchanged. Superintendent Dillon
said this afternoon: "The reports that are
circulating to tho effect that wo cannot secure
enough workmen la false. We have more men
and applications for places than we can ac
commodate. The report Is also false
that says only ono or two of the dorart
monts In tho mill aro in operation. Five
of the departments are now runnlna. and
within three days tho other two. tho 18 nnd
'20 inch plate wheels, will be running. It is
not necessary for us to shift ono solitary crew
about from one department to another. Lach
department Is manned with Its own crew, nnd
new crews will be on hand In a few dnys."
Members of the Amalgamated Picas Com
mittee made the following statement:
"We know for a certainty that tho renort
about 150 skilled workmen being In tho mills is
wrong. There are no mere than twonty skilled
men altogether, the remainder being simply
laborers. Moreover, not all ot the depart
ment claimed to be In operation nre running.
Only the plato and guide mills nre going to
day. The feeling ot the workmen may be
judged from the action of the men employed
at the gns producers. Last night they refused
to work, and every man was discharged.
Natural gas is tho fuel to be used to-day."

PnTsnunon. Aug. 4. The strikors at Ilome
stead are determined to cause tho Carnegie
Iron and Steel Company as much troublo as
they can. One of the moves to be made will
be n teBt of the legality of tho combination
under which as a limited partnership tho
various concerns were consolidated with a
capital of $'J5.O00.O0O. A charge of conspiracy
to depress wacos will be niailo against those
mombors of tho Company and the right ol the
consolidation will bo questioned. In addition
charges of riot and inciting to riot will bo
In ought against tho company, the Pinkertons,
and tlie other men already arrested.
Attorney John F. Cox, who with W. J. Bron
nnn represents tho locked-out workmen, said
to-ntcht there wns a Pennsylvania statute
covering the subject, and several precedents
have been established.
I "Such a charge will be brought In a few
days." Mr. Cox said, "and there Is Bood
ground fur it. in my opinion. In Schuylkill
county the omployors sued tho Morris
Bun Coal Company for dopiessine wages.
Judge I'axson decided against the company. I
argue that In the beginning tho various mills,
like Heaver Falls. Homestead, Duauesne, the
Ldgar Thompsen, the coko plants, Ac
wore owned by different people. They
wore bought up by tho company
procuring a controlling Interest in
in each nnd then thoy were consolidated. It
is doubtful whether such a combination
of capital is let'al under tho State
laws. We will try to show that the
Interests wero unltod to regulnte tho
wages of erapyoos nnd coerce them. Our
alra will be to break up this limited partner
ship. I understand Mr. Carnegie has $1.'),
000.000 In the llrm. nnd Mr. Prick has either
SU.000,000 or $5,000,000 invostod."

Last evening the four Homestead mon at
tended a convention to mako preparations for
tho coming Labor Day celebrations, which
was held at Holllulton street. Brooklyn, and
wero Introduced to the audience, and asked to
mako a few remark's.
Mr. ltoberts, who acted as spokesman, sild
that tho statements published to the effect
that they were j;ettlnc all tho mon they needed
in the Hnmestoud mills wero false and absurd.
Ho said that those who were sent to tho mills
would not go within a mile ot a furnnco, and
that somo kind ot noise was mads in ths mills
to mako It appear that tho mills wero running.
"Mr. Prick," he continued, "was unable to
prove before the Congressional committee
that tho reduction in wages was necessary.
The Amalgamated Association did all that
could bo done to sottlo the matter peaceably.
Mr. Frlck made It appear that lie was willing
to settle, hut while he nppoared to be nego

San Francisco, Aug. 4. News Is brought by
the Australian steamer of what may cause nn
international quarrel between En eland and
the United SUtes. It seems that the British
gunboat Curacoa last month put into Pago
Pago harbor, Samoa, and the Samoan land
commissioner solscted a plsco of land thore
for a British coaling station.
The nows comes by way of Auckland, and
the New Zealand paper remarks that tho
United States has abandoned Pago-Pago since
the Apia hurricane. This rends dueerTy when
it Is remembered that Lieut. Coffin left hero
last month for Samoa to put this Pago-Pago
coaling station in order.
The Samonn Government in 1875 granted
this coaling station to tho United Mates, and
England has no right to any part of ths har

dealors to break tholr contracts In ft fight thor
had no concern In wns vorr bitter. If tho
dealers succeod In manning their rnrdswfth

nothing to do with union mon again. One ot
tho dealers said to a Sun roportor:
" I hope wo aro through forovor with tho

The same feeling exists among the mem
bers of the Brick Manufacturers' Association.
A member of the Executive Board of the latter
said to the reporter:
" Slnco we discharged the Captains of the
barges who sided with the strikers, striking
brlok handlers who had bson hanging around
the yards havo come to the Captains and
asked if thoy wero working with now crews.
Learning that such was ths case, the men
hung around looking sick. I bellevotho Brick

up; in fact, from what I have learned. I would
not bo surprised if it should break up at any
time and the men should come clamoring
back asking for work. I know many of them
would like an excuse to como back."
The representatives of the Board of Walking
Delegates rosterdar denied that there was
any danger ot tho men stampeding back to
work. Tney said that- where fifty or sixty
men had gone out on any building three or
four mlaht return unless the strike, was set
tled, but that was all. Delegato McLaughlin
of the Progressive Painters said that if any
contractor wanted to go on with his work

which could dollver 4.000.000 brinks nt twenty-four

Tho contractors sar ther do not know any

"Mn. PmcswENT. Ladies, and Qektlimen:
I accented with pleasure tho tnvltatton of your

The hearty greeting accorded me by this au-dlenco-aB

me-have touched me deeply. I nm a Ken
tuckiun. Tho yoarsthat have passed since my
footstops were turned toward the magnitlcont
State that stretches northward to the lakes
havo not weakened the cords which bind
me to tho old commonwoaltb. The memory
of our pioneer ancestry, of tho privations and
sufferings endured, of tho obstacles over
come, of the perils encountered br the glori
ous men and women who made possible what
our eyes now behold Is the horitage of all
Kentuck ans. I glory with you In the history
and traditions which forahundred years have
mado Kontucky bo potent a constituent in our
loderal Union."
Mr. Stevenson then namod many distin
guished llllnolans who had been born in
Kentucky liardlii. Edwards. Cook. Stewart
Logan. Browning. Dickey. Walker, and others
and continued: "But theso nre not all. Illi
nois is debtor to Kentucky for ono more illus
trious than thoso I havo named. Uroat as a
lawyer, with marvellous power os on advo
cate, the peer ot tho mightiest In dobnto. wise
ns great occasions demanded wisdom, the
fame of Abraham Lincoln is not confined to tho
Stato of his birth nor of his adoption, but is
tho heritage ot all people.
" Mr. President, this la a mastorful hour in
the history of this metropolis and of this com
monwealth. To-night you formally dedloato
the Watterson club house. This magnillcent
nudlonoo has gathered to witness no idlo cere
mony. ho cun forecast how far reaching In
its conseauonces may bo tho work of this
hour? The club whose guost I am to-night
has honored Itsolf by adopting a name wall
known in all tho States of this Union. Wher
ever In this broad land men of brains, men
who havo tho courago of their convictions,
manly men. the leaders of men. are known
and honored, Wnttersou Is a household word."
Jlr. Stevenson then reviewed his ncqunint
anco with Mr. Wattorson. which bocan before
the war. From this ho reverted to the war It
self, the termination of tho conflict and the
period of reconstruction. Ho then contlnuod:
'It would servo nowise purpose to revive the
memories of this ore. but for tho reason that
wo are now confronted by tho startling fact
that tho party in power stands pledged to tho
refnactment of the Forco bill. History would
but repeat Itself. The ovlls thnt would follow
the evil now threatened would And their coun
terpart only in those which make upsoshame
ful a part of tho reconstruction period.
" In view of what I have mentioned, nnd tho
further fact that with such powerful auxil
iaries ns Northern ontorjiriso nnd Northern
capital, tho South stands upon the threshold
of a material development unknown to this
generation, can it bo possible that tho Ameri
can people will now consent that tho hands bo
turned back upon the dial and the era of mis
rule, of outrage, and of violence again bo In
augurated I
" With tho years will come now problems for
BOlution, crave problems, tho outgrowth ot an
ndaneini; civilization: problems which per
tain to socinl government and municipal ad
ministration, which pertain, it mny bo. to di

tho very foundations ot tho bocinl fabric. Lot
us trust that In all tho coming j ears from the

" This club is to bo congratulated upon tho

The presrnceof the eminent citizen of Illinois
would be at any time a subject of felicitation,
but at this moment wn nro doubly honored,
not only In entertaining a representative

Mr. Watterson then hiinmrou-Oy acknowl

Association of tho Twenty-first dlstrlot re
sulted yostorday In his sondlne his resltrna
tlon asa member of the association to John
l'roctor Clarke. Its President Mr. Hlldreth
with William Lenrynndothor personal friends j
succoodod at ono tims In soourlnc oontrol of
tho association. Clarke regained oontrol later,
and Hlldreth kept up a steady fleht until last
January, whon ho said at a meeting- of tha
association:
"There is n screw looso somewhere In tha
Itopublican party. I beltove that the secret ot
the trouble Is that the leaders indulge too
much in personal politics, and that they taka
advantage ot the powor they have to Tent per
sonal sploon. I want to voto tor principles and
not tor men. This method of turning a man
down here and there because soms ons la
powor Is personally opposed to him is not tha
policy of the Republican party. I Intended at
the last meeting to tender my resignation as a
delegato to tho County Committee, but I was
Sot pormlttod to do so. I tender it now. It
ns boen the custom of the County Committee
to fix up a slate and rush It through. 1 do not
approve of this method and my presence on
the committee might give rise to bickerings.
As this is n Presidential yoar all should ba
peacoful, and I have therefore concluded to
rot I re."
Mr. Hlldreth has now concluded to leave tha
party entirely. In his letter of resignation
sent to Mr. Clarke, he says:

The only Issue that J hare recognlred In the years
that I have actively participate it In politics as exlstln
between the two dominant political parties as that of
protection. I believed in It on principle. I believe In t
It to-day. providing that its attendant advantage! eaa
be made universal and not special. The Republicans,
as n principle, proclaim their allegiance to the doctrine

those men who most loudly clamor for ths protection
or American labor, and to whom all that they ask Is
conceded, hejring down upon the laboring clssses wrtu

arrived hero nt noon to-day. Ho wns met at '
the depot by tho Iteceptlon Committee, was
driven to the Grand Hotel, escorted by a pro
cession of carriages and a band. After lunch
eon 'a roccptlon was hold In tho Republican
League rooms In the hotel, and at 3 o'clock
tho Governor was driven to the Talr Grounds. J
where he delivered atarllT speech, under tho f
nusplcos of tho Twin City Chautauqua Assocl-
atlon. Ho spoke from a tomporary platform ',
erected on tho raco track facing the grand a
stand, which wns flllod by nn nssembly of 10,-
000 persons. Ho wns Introduced by Judga M
Heed, nnd spoke for almost uii hour. Ho sold Jp
In part:
"Tho Domocrotto platforms of late year
havo declared in favor of frco bIIv or, but when
In tho last Congress thoy had a majority ther
failed to pass a I'rcoCoinugo bill ngnlnst ths
opposition of u llcimbllcan minority and de
sirters fiom the lJemocratlo ranks. What
wo want Is a dollir worth .i hundred
cents hore ns well ns elsowheio. lis
it silver, paper, or gold, tho llopubllo
enn party insists, nnd has nlvvnys Insisted,
that it should be worth n hundred cents. It .
there uro two kinds of money in circulation of 1
different values overv ono knows that the I
cheaper money drives tho good monoy out of 1
circulation. The one-liundred-cent dollar iui
won't associate with tho eighty-three cont. VJ
dollar. m
" During the war you did not see nny gold in T
circulation at all. Now tlioro are $700,000,000
in clieulntlon. ns a result nf the Redemption
net ot 1H7II. Home will claim that the sliver
dollar will buy ns much ns the gold dollar, but '
it must be remembered thnt the silver dollar is
now coined only t" n limited extent if thers
woro free eoltuige.lt would mean that evory man
hav Ini silver bullion could take It to the Gov '
eminent mints nnd havo It coined. Now tho
Government rotulns tho difference botween
tho value of tho blhor coined Inn dollar ana
tho 100 cunts worth of silver, nnd thus makes ,
tho prollt. whorons woro thero froe coinage
tho silver men would get tho rako-off. We
don t want nny short dollars In this country.
"Coming totlui subject of taxation, I would
say that If wo had the powor wo would abolish
all taxation. We don't like it, but it Is neces
sary to sustain (ho Government. Tho question
is how to raise It. Tho revonuo tariff advo
cated b the Democrats eneniiiages no Amer

blood. It con-lilersonlv tho country, not tho i
home. Tho consumer pins II. 'J'ho ltopub-
llcan protective tariff on tho other hand taxes

Gov. Melvliilny then wont on to show that
protection benelltod Ihe farmer byglwnghirn
a near-by markot. Ho declared that the old I
farmers who founded the ropubllo originated I
protection. Ho showed tho advantage of the I
high tariff by comparing the conditions ot the I
country under tho high nnd low tariffs. I
Referring to Republican dofeat in 1800, he I
said the McKlnloy bill was only four months I
