er. Indeed, early in the trouble Hugh
O'Donnell in an interview explained how
the men of the mill had been divided
into three divisions, with 500
Huns under the command of two
Interpreters in reserve. We claim this was
an admission that they had set up their
own government, and such conduct is trea.
sonable Subsequent events after the mill.

Wanted a Letter From the Sheriff.
''The reason County Detective Beltz-
hoover made the information is easily ex-
planned. In the beginning District
would write him letter stat
ing that riot and bloodshed had
occurred in Homestead he would take the
initiative in sll the cases, and Mr.. Beltz-
hoover would have made ali the informa-
tions instead of Secretary Loveioy. Sheriff
McCleary, however, declined to write the
letter.
81 want to say it is a mistake, as re.
ported, that charge of treason will be
brought against the strikers in the Union
mills do not believe that Superintendent
Dillon made the statements accredited to
him. He is very close-mouthed, and sew
eral bogus interviews with him have been
published. A charge OF treason could not
be sustained against these men, and l don't
think the company ever thought of it,
Attorney Bremen WAS not in the citv
yesterday. A visit was paid last evening
80 his usual haunts. but the lawyer for the
men could not be found. He spent the day
in company with officials of the Amalga-
mated Association skirmishing around
in search OF bail for men,
bers of the Advisory Board.
Il is not known what success he had. Peo-
pie will admit that it is no small matter to
get security for IS men in $1,000 Tor each
one-tkat is property worth $3.50, 600 would
lave to be pledged, and according to Jn-s>
hennedy's rule that there must be a good
y argin in all the cases, not less than from
$3.50, 900 TO S400, 600 worth of real estate will
be needed. Some of the men are well
liked and viii be expected to
produce their own bail Others haven't
EIuch 20 go on, and it is understood the
-Am4lgdmated Association will help them
out.
Waiting Until They Get Bail
1t is not known how many of the accused
viii appear in court this morning, but it is
certain none of them now at large Will pe
on hand unless they have the bail. No
arrests were made yesterday, and appar-
emily the officers have given up the pur-
suit Il is claimed this is scheme 10 throw
the men off their guard. The prosecution
states that William Roberts was in Pitts
burg Saturday night, and they were in
formed yesterday that he and McConegly
had cleared out. The friends OF Roberts
laugh at this report, and say he is lying
low until he can secure the necessary
amount of bail Attorney John L. Cox
put in the time in Homestead getting
together all the bondsmen he could find.
The nine men in the county jail charged
with treason take their imprisonment as
coo.ly as they have taken the other charges
against them growing out of the Homestead
riots Hugh O'Donnell only laughs when
The subject is mentioned, saving be is not
afraid Of the result. aud he appears TO feel
that his cause has been helped rather
al injured by the new charge. The Home
stead men are all quiet about this matter
and decline 10 talk, as has been their custom
ever since the first arrest was made. Yes
terday they took their places with the 200
other prisoners in the Jail at the services in
the afternoon, listening to a short sermon
by Rev. Mr.. Whitesides, of the Bethany
Mission, and some fine singing by Miss
Annie McCutcheon, of Allegheny.
