HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 1.-THE citi-
Zens of Homestead are in earnest in
their declarations that no unlawful or
unseenly proceedings shall occur dur
inf the occupancy of the town by the
militia. The authorities seem to
dread the actions of outsiders attracted
here by the gravity of the situation,

Burgess McLuckie issued the following
proclamation:

and claim thatt the borough is in a
peaceable condition, which does not
call for the Intervention of the armed
force of the state.
Chief Byrne, of the fac department,
and who is also member of the bor-
ough council, said today that the troops
are not wanted in the borough, and that
while there will be no resistance Oil the
part of the residents the officers will
be informed that the town is in
the hands of its civil authorities
and interference by state troops
is neither desired or necessary. Mr.
Byrne declined to say what action
would be taken if the troops entered
the town. The chief of police was
asked ii he would meet the troops at
borough line and escort them Into town.
He replied: mo. We will give them
fellers a wide berth. We don't want
the militia in the town. They can GO
to the mills if they like.'

MOVING on HOMESTEAD.
AIIthe State Troops to Land There
This Morning

BRINTON, Pa, July 1l.-AbOut a
dozen eager newspaper men waited the
whole afternoon at Brinton for the
Pennsylvania state troops to go iuto the
great camping ground just south of the
Brinton station. AS a guarantee of
good faith two great carloads of ammu-
Dltlon and boxes of rifles stood in the
yards with a curious but rather morbid
crowd aboutthem ali the afternoon.
Four o'clock came and 5 and 6, and
there was nothing to justify the patient
expectancy Of the waiting journalists.
When it was nearly Z o'clock there was
a whistle down the road. and a train
rushed by with every window crowded
with soldiers. 1t rumbled into the dis
tance up the road without word of eX-
PLANTATION. and its 400 or 500 of human
freight. said nothing and did nothing
but look curiously at the watchers.
Half all hour later another special
train. laden with the Eighteenth regi-
ment, came up, but stopped at the water
tank. Mai. Kay, although averse TO
talk, said the destination of the force
had been changed from Brinton to
Blairsville. where the whole power of
Western Pennsylvania will rendezvous
before midnight. None of the officers
would discuss their next step, referring
the reporters to the generals in COM
mand for further information, and the
generals in command were invisible.
1t was stated, however, that the whole
military force is to be in Homestead
early Tuesday morning-so early. in
fact. that the proposed receptian to he
rendered by the workmen will be an inl-
possibility. 1t will require five large
trains to transfer the troops now at
Blairsville to Homestead, and the trans
portation is being retained for the early
run tomorrow. All of the soldiers eX-
pect confidently to be camped at the
mills in Homestead before o'clock
Tuesday.

shall not be degraded to condition
which endangers the continuance of the
republic. A despotism can endure with
the great mass of its people, peasants
or serfS. but free institutions can not
stand upon any such basis. We have
fallen upon new times and new condi-
tions, for which the experience of the
old world affords no precedent. and we
have got to solve our new problems for
ourselves. The ultimate solution of the
labor question is probably cooperation,
where every man engaged in the work
has share in tile profits. | hope the
labOring men at Homestead will be
guided by wise counsels, for there is a
terrible amount of inhammatory
material in this country that is
liable to explode at any mo-
ment. We can not escape the
solution of these problems. TO
stand still and do nothing is simply to
invite a catastrophe. The Peoples
party is the only party that is trying to
find solution for them. Bayonets are
no cure for the disease. We canHot
transfer our republic into despotism
in order that men like, Carnegie and
Frick can add to their millions while
our fellow citizens are being driven
down into old world conditions. The
outbreak at Homestead will add mill
ions to the votes of the Peoples party,
for it will compel men to think.''

KENDALL FAR AHEAD.
The Duluth Man Lacks but Few
Votes of a Nomination.

Ihe Duluth Man Lacks but Few
Votes ola Nomination..
A very vigorous contest for the con-
gressional nomination on the Repub-
lican side is being made in the Sixth
district. The excitement has crowded
all county favorites out of the field, and
Hon. 81. c. Kendall. of Duluth, and
Judge d. B. Searle, OF st. Cloud, are
having the fun all to themselves. Thus
far the odds are decidedly in favor of
Mr.. Kendall, who has carried every
county save StearnS, the home of his
rival, and now claims ninety-Six votes
to sixteen for the st. Cloud man. The
convention will meet in Duluth week
from tomorrow, and will have men,
bership of ZIG votes. One hundred
and nine are required to nOmi-
nate, and, as Mr.. Kendall now
lacks but thirteen of having this num-
ber the chances for his nomination are
more than good.
The morning Republican organ of st.
Paul is, as usual, making some heavily
padded claims for Judge Searle, but is
damaging HIM far more than it is help
ing him. Mr.. Kendall is making a
lively campaign and seems to have all
the young men in the party behind him.
The counties in which conventions have
not been held are about half In the
north and supposed to be friendly 10 the
Duluth man, and half in the neighbor-
hood of Stearns county, and therefore
favorable to Judge Searle. Both sides
claim the eight votes Of Hubbard, but
Mr.. Kendall seems to have q sure hold
on them.

DETERMINED TO STICK.
Locked-Out Men Deny Any Sign
of Weakening


HOMESTEAD, July 1.-THE advent
of the militia, as might we'll be
expected, has given rise to
countless rumors that the workmen rec
OgnZe that defeat is inevitable, and are
preparing to acceed TO the terms of the
company. All these reports. however,
are promptly denied by the leaders, and
it is announced that it is to be war to
the eud.
Much comment was occasioned by the
statements of Manager Frlck in an in
terview today that three-fOurths of the
men would have accepted the terms of
the company but for the aggressive
conduct Of an Obstreperous minority,
and that now that the militia was or
dered Oat he expected the great major
ity of the locked-out men to return
to work under the protection of the
troops. This assertion has aroused the
Homesteaders to state of Indignation,
ana meeting of 500 mechanical en-
ployes was held this afternoon, at which
the men would never return until the
company had conceded every demand
OF the Amalgamated association.
A report is in circulation tonight that
an attempt to install non-union work.
men in the Homestead mill Will be i'm
mediately followed bya general strike of
union men in all the other Carnegie
mills. When it is known that the Home
stead mills are less than an eighth
of the vast Carnegie interests the i'm
pOrtance of general strike may be an
ciated. There is very little doubt that
pressure will be brought upon the
wASklnen of the other mills to urge them
tH,come out, but there is not much rea-
son to hope that such pressure will be
successful.
In the first place one or more of the
other Carnegie establishments are al
ready operated by non-union labor. and
of course it would be folly to suppose
that these men would come out
because of any sympathy with
organized labor. Then, too, in
the other Carnegie mills there
is no dispute whatever upon wages or
anything else, but the scale has been
signed by both sides for the ensuing
year. For either side to breek the
agreement now, whatever the pretext
might be, would be to lay that side
open to the Cargo of broken faith, and
injure their cause more than it could
help it.

the district for $3.50 per day for every
man working under ground. The mine
owners held that unskilled laborers
should be paid only So. When the
miners refused to accept the scale the
mines were closed. The owners de-
cIared excessive freight rates were the
cause of the reduction. The lockout
was begun April by the mine owns
ers' association, and 5000 union miners
were thrown out of work. Since then
the mine owners have been making
struggle to run their mines with
non-unIon men and guards. The ten
sion has been great for months and the
opinion has prevailed that only spark
was needed to start the flames Of riot.
The example at Homestead and the
decision of the United States courts at
Boise. making a perpetual f.ijunction
against the miners union, brought mat
tiers to head.

THE CAPTURED GUNS.
Pinkertons Not Likely to Handle
Them Again.

HOMESTEAD. Pa, July II. The ques-
tion Uf returning the guns and ammuni-
tion taken from the boats Of the cap
tured Pinkerton men at Homestead last
Wednesday is at present giving the
citizens of this borough some little un-
easiness, since it is matter of history
that the boats were pillaged by the
crowd the moment the detectives were
taken on shore. One of the leaders, and
q member of the advisory committee,
said tonight:
Of course, the Pinkerton agency will
make "a demand for their guns. re-
vOlverS and ammunition, and we
will do our best for them. but you will
understand that we are in a peculiar
position. The terms of surrender were
that the guns should be all boxed up
and sent back to PinkertOn's headquar-
ters, with the ammunition. and God
knows when the promise was given we
intended that it should be kept, but the
mob was too much for us. Those guns,
suppose, are distributed in every town
in the county, and one lOng-headed fel-
low from McKeesport got away with
seven of them. He hired skitf to carry
himself and guns to Port Perry, where
he disposed of them at $3.50 apiece, and
ing he had not one Of the captured guns.
''Many of the guns also went to the
South side. and all can say Is that
though we did our best to save the guns
and keep our promise we found that we
had all enough to do to keep the Pinker-
tons from being killed. Some OF the
firearms are in Homestead, scattered
through the town. but it is safe to say if
we called for the guns this minute we
could not gather up more than two or
three dozen of them. A great deal OF the
ammunition was burned in the fire, and
that which was taken out has been
seized as relics by the visitors to the
town who wished to carry away some
mementO from the scene OF battle.
There were about $1,000 worth of fire.
arms, including revolvers. oD the boat,

Report of Miners Ready to Go to

HOMESTEAD, July ia mounted
miner rode into town this afternoon
from Six Mile ferry and reported that
1000 miners from the Allegheny
valley were gathering and intend
to come here and aid the strik-
ers. The man reported that 1000
of them are armed with Spring
field rifles and that they would come
here at once to fight the militia or any
other body of men who attempted to
down the Homestead men. He said that
the miners believed that if the mill men
here are crushed into submission it
would be severe blow to all organized
labor men and the miners are willing to
go to any extreme to assist the Home
stead men.
The story was not fully credited here,
for, although it is known that the
miners are in sympathy with Carnegie's
men, it is not believed they could
assemble and arm $500 men without it
leaking out. The messenger returned
to the men whom he represented with a
reply SAID to be an acceptance of the
offer of the miners, but the exact nature
of the reply could not be learned.

bounced on what is considered to be
good authority that the Carnegie Steel
company has begun prosecution against
ihe leaders of the Homestead riot for
conspiracy and murder. The company
is said to have retained several of the
best criminal lawyers of Western Penn
syivania, and instructed them to iusti-
lute proceedings at once.
A fash light camera is said to have
been used from the tower of the Carne-
gle mill during the riot, and the pictures
of the men thus obtained are to be used
as evidence. The arrests are expected
to be made as soon as the national
guards go on duty at Homestead. 1
