to the citizens Of Homestead that Gov.
Pattison had arrived. A large crowd
had gathered at the depot. Rain was
falling steadily and it was very disa-
greeable morning for the governor to
make his entry. The governors priv
ate car was switched off at Munhau
station and the governor went through
the Carnegie mill TO the hotel opposite
the entrance. The governors presence
was not discovered for some time.
Finally word was sent to headquarters
and the cannon in front OF Gen. Snow
denis headquarters responded with
salute of seventeen guns. While this
was in progress the governor was driven
up the hill in an open carriage. The
cavalry acted as an escort. Gen. Snow

For the first time since the present
lockout began, the Carnegie Company
yesterday made a pretense of starting
its mills here. 1t was something OF
surprise to Homestead people TO see
smoke issuing from the armor plate
mill in the morning, and they were still
more surprised at noon when the big
whistle was blown for the dinner hour.
The full power Of the whistle was not
put in operation, but the people recog-
nized the old-time sound and many of
them looked down toward the entrance
to the works to see If gangs OF workers
were not pouring out on their several
ways to dinner. But none came. There
weye worl5men inside the works, how
ever, and they were pursuing their
duties in business-like manner, SEEM
ingly without thought that an armed
guard was necessary to protect. These
men were brought into the works
secretly by the company within the
past week. They came few at time
until Monday, when the company sue

crs sufficient to guarantee the starting
up of the armor plate mill.
In the afternoon some Of the new
workmen made protective shield for
heavy marine guns in the presence Of
number of military officers. The start
ing of the mills, following the issuance
of warrants for leaders Of the strike,
has shown the advisory committee the
determination of the Curnegie Com
pany officials, but they do not appear
TO be downcast at the presence Of non
union men in the places OF Homestead
workmen. Members of the committee
insist that non-uniou men can never
run the Homestead mills because OF
theirignorance of the technical branches
ofi-on and steel, The committee also
has hopes Of defeating the company in
the long run on the declaration Of
general boycott by freight handlers,
railroad men, carpenters, maSons, build
crs and others engaged in construction

product II non-union men are allowed to
run the mills. Meanwhile the nom
union men are ready for another days
work.
HOMESTEAD, July 9O.-No attempt
was made Tuesday 10 serve warrants
on the five men in Homestead who, with
John McLuclsie and Hugh 0Donnell,
are charged with murder committed on
the day the Pinkertons were repulsed.
Constable Webber, one of the trio sent
out by Alderman McMasters, Of Pitts
burg, TO arrest the five men wanted,
came TO Homestead in the afternoon
with subp1nas for people whose evil
dence is wanted at the hearing Burgess
McLuclSie will receive in Pittsburgh to-
day. This duty was accomplished with
out trouble.
When the subpenas had been served
Webber went back TO Pittsburgh with
out having attempted to arrest Ross,
Critchlow, Flanagan, Burkett or Fla
herty. These Ave men were to be seen
about the strcets.apparently indifferent
TO the serious charge made against them.
There was no attempt made at con-
cealment Of their presence in town.
The accused men have decided to evade
arrest until after the McLucliie hear
ing. II the burgess is admitted to bail
they will immediately surrender and
ask release under bond on the same
grounds o. those asked by McLuckie.
They have not made any decision as TO
what they will do IL bail is re- fused the
burgess, but il is probable that they
will give themselves up,
The members Of the Amnlgamated as
sociation have practically decided to APP
ply for warrants for Mr.. Frick, Andrew
Carnegie and others. but are still in
consultation with counsel as TO whether
the warrants Il sworn out for murder
and treason, will hold. They are de-
