AFFAIRS AT HOMESTEAD
All the Military Force Of the State
Called Out.

HoMEsEAD, Pa, July lit has
been given out unofficially that at
the meeting of the Advisory Comr
mittee, called after midnight, it
was decided to offer no resistance
to the militia occupancy of the town
or the Carnegie property.
Gail is quiet at Homestead is
the watchword which has a literal
significance and is without irony in
its application in this little burg
to-day. For the first time since
the beginning of this labor rebel.
lion the indications of reviving re-
spect for the law of the State of
Pennsylvania and the rights of in
dividuals is once more observed.
The salutary effect of Governor
Patterson's action in calling out
the troops is already remarked in
a radical change that the past six
hours have wrought, and personal
freedom this morning is practi>
call unrestrained. It is true that
now and then some oyer-officious
individual assumes to himself the
right to investigate and catechize
persons as they step from the train
but such instances are rare, ,and the
profound respect that would have
been accorded yesterday to such
person is signally wanting to-day.
P1TTsBURe, Ps., July 11.-There
are signs of activity in and around
the armories of the National Guard
this morning. The men began
mastering early in the morning and
making preparations for a journey,
but it will be late this evening or
early tomorrow morning before
all arrangements can be completed,
and the troops assembled at Brins
ton.
The action of the Governor in
ordering out the militia has
brought the strikers in Homestead
up with a ronnd turn, and made
them realize fully that the arrival
OF troops meant a loss to them of
the control they have exercised
over the town, and a committee
from the Amalgamated Association
was appointed to go to Pittsburg
at once and entreat Mr.. Frick to
consent to some method of adjust
ment of the differences. The CONS
mittee called at Carnegie's Office in
the Chronicle telegraph building
during the forenoon. Down town
the militia were gathering at the
several headquarters. Crowds
gathered around the armories of
the 18th and 14th regiments, and
of battery B, to watch the soldiers
as they come in to await marching
orders. It is not expected that the
troops will move before Q O'Clock
this afternoon.
HARRISBURG, July 1.-The 9th,
18th and 18th regiments are on
the road, and will reach Lewiston
about noon, the 8th and 4th regi-

Transportation. The second brigade
is reported under way before noon,
and will be concentrated at Brin-
ton, about three niles from Home

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July IL
IHostilities are over, At meeting
Of strikers this afternoon it was
decided by unanimous vote and
amid great enthusiasm, that the
militia should be welcomed to the
city by brass bands, and other
ceremonies appropriate to the occas

any striker who should hoot the
militia or otherwise fail in proper
respect to the States representa-
ftiyes, should be ducked in the river,
and committee was appointed for
that purpose.
| The burgess was requested to
Invite all citizens having no busi-
ness in Homestead to depart, as it
was feared some unwise and anar>
chistic sympathizers with the
strikers might seek to perpetuate
trouble. All the leaders made
Ispeeches and three brass bands of
| the city rendered their services in
welcoming the militia. No one
