mands Of the Sheriff.
Eight Thousand Troops Ordered to the
Scene of the Homestead Troubles

following dispatch:
Robert l.. Pattison governor, Harrisburg, Pa:
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 1O.-The situa-
ton at Homestead has not improved.
While all is quiet here the strikers are
in control and openly express to me snd
to the public their determination that
/ the works shall not be operated unless
by themselves. After making all eff
forts in my power, have failed to
secure a posse respectable enough in
numbers to accomplish anything and
am satisfied that no posse
raised by civil authority can do any
thing to change the condition of affairs
and that any attempt by an inadequate
force to restore the right of law will
only result in further armed resistance
and consequent loss of life. Only
large military force will enable me to
control matters. If such force is sent
the disorderly element will be over
awed and order will be restored. l
therefore call upon you to furnish me
such assistance.

SPECULATION.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 11.-Intense
excitement was created by the an.
nouncement that the Pennsylvania
militia, 5000 strong had been ordered
out and would arrive in Homestead to-
day.
/ Later the opinion was freely ex.
pressed by the rank and file that the
militia would be received by no hostile
demonstration and that an armistice
would be declared until after their de-
parture. But they will have to 90
away some time" said the leader of
little group near the depot, "and when
they do we would like to see them run
the mill non-union."
This little sentence expresses as fully
as could volumes the situation that will
be ushered in by the advent of the
militia As long as this army Of mill
tiamen are on the ground there will be
no opposition from the strikers, no law,
lessness and no violent demonstrations.
Shortly after midnight hurried call
was sent out for meeting of the adj
visory committee to consider the atti-
tude which should be assumed toward
the militia.
