The sitnatIon at Homestead.

PITTsBURG, Pa, March 1.-THE stu
alton at Homestead is again critical
The strikers were to have started tC
work at the mill to-day, but owing to a
misunderstanding they have refused to
resume until the matter has been ar.
ranged according to their understand
ing
This morning about six o'clock Hen.
ry Haley, q non-union man, was found
lying ON the track badly beaten. He
was taken to the poor farm a short dis,
lance away, and word telephoned to the
special police at Homestead to come to
his assistance. Officers Patch and Met
calfe started for the poor farm, and
while on the way were fired upon by
some parties secreted behind some cars.
The shots took effect in the bodies of
both men, but fortunately neither were
fatally hurt.
The officers of the Amalgamated
Association, who deprecate such pro-
ceedings, started for the scene this
morning to endeavor to have the affairs
settled without further trouble. s.'
a number of special police were also
sent up to protect city property in ease

The Atchison Champion is in favor of
the two conventions-one to nominate
state officers and the other To nominate
congressman, but thinks they should not
be held the same day, but month apart.
Speaking OF the two conventions of 1872
it says there was more trading back
and forth, by telegraph. between Law
renee and Topeka, that year, than was
ever before known" OF course il this
II true the very object of holding the
conventions on the same day would be
defeated. But we confess we never be-
fore heard this charge made against the
Swo conventions of 1872 II would
seem reasonable that the holding of
the two conventions al different points
at the same time would have the effect
TO defeat trades and combinations, and
we have always heard that 1.-THE cOnven-
lions OF 1872 were successful in this re-
spect. II it is not best to hold them the
same day, then they shOIld be held long
enough apart for "managers' and
.trndes'' TO forget their promises.

ADJOURNED
CLOSING scenes in the U,,,b E.eo.

Closing Scenes in the Utah Legislature
SAIL. LAKE, March 1.-The leeisla-
ture adjourned sine die last evening. In
the closing speeches there was a tacit
recognition of the fact that the day of
polygamous legislation was now forever
passed, and the final adieu to the halls
where for twenty-five sessions they had
upheld the standard of theocracy legally,
were not without certain dignity and
pathos down to the passage by the sen
ate of the Edmunds bill. Since that
they have become aware that the crisis
in their history Is upon them, and the
younger and homogeneous element
would probably have met il by conces-
sion if possible. The older and polyga-
nous element has had no thought save
TO stand ON what they deem their rights,
whatever the consequences. In an adj
dress in reply TO that part of the govern.
Or's message, in the memorial TO con.
gress against legislation, and in the
calling of a state conyention To organ

Omaha LabOring Men.
OMAHA, March IA monster mass
meeting of laboring men was held this
afternoon in Jefferson square. Over
five thousand were in attendance. Pres-
ident Walsh, of the Omaha Protective
Labor Union, took the presiding chair
amid cheers and called the meeting to
order at $50 p. m. He made an extend
ed opening speech, referred to the con-
dition of affairs in the city, which is un.
der virtual martial law and oppressive
ness of the troops. The speech was
pointed and strong and excited much
applause. He was followed by Daniel
O'KeIfe, National Vice President of the
Bricklayers Association of North Amer
lea. In his remarks he reflected strong
ly on the personal character of Mayor
Boyd. John Quinn, National delegate
to the Iron Moulders Union. spoke, fav-
Messrs. Logan and Ahles, of Council
Bluffs. and Knight, President of the
Iron Moulders Union No. 100, of Oma-
ha, followed in the same strain,
favoring a compromise. A COM
promise proposition was submitted to
the meeting and voted down. A tele.
gram from United States Senator Van
Wyek, promising to use his influence
with President Arthur TO obtain the
withdrawal of troops, and congratulating
them upon the good order maintained
by the workingmen.
Mayor Boyd then spoke at some
length, justifying his course. Judge w.
H. Riley, National secretary of the Bar
Association, attacked Mayor Boyd bit
terly. The meeting then closed with
enthusiastic cheers
Matters about the B. s. Q. dump were
very quiet until this evening. While the

the ntcr-Ocean: After all, the chief
points for OF against public man Is
his public record. We may despise him
as a neighbor, as q friend, as a compan-

when it comes TO his public career. the
question to be considered should be, is
he honestr is he able? lie he efficient?
We don't hire clerks or superintendents

sonora Railroad Sold.

Boston, March lathe sale of the
Sonora railway to the Atchison, Topeka
i Santa Fe is announced today. The
latter company has thereby made itseli
| prominent in the railway traffic kof the
southwest and secured an independent
line to the Pacific. The Sonora railway
company was organized more than three
years ago by Mr.. Thomas Nickerson,

| to build from Guaymas, on the Gulf OF
California, through the state of Sonora
to the American border, there to meet
the Atchison system. Within q few
months the line will be completed at
the remarkably low cost of $4,000, 600,
including equipment, result due TO
the use of English steel free of duty and
the low price of native labor. The
company has a government subsidy
of sligo per mite, or $3,042, 900 in
Mexican silver, equal TO $2,00S, 200 in
American gold. or this subsidy, $621,
coo In Mexican money has been paid to
date. The contract for the sale plo
vides that the Atchison company shall
guarantee the interest upon the first
mortgage per cent. bOnds, and issue
one share of AtchisOn stock for two
shares of Sonora stock. The effect of
