quieter here now than at any time sine,
the 9th inst. The arrests of Hugh O'Don.
nell and Hugh Ross create no excitep,en,
| among the working people, and the alb
sence OF infiammatory talk shows a leth-
argy that marks the beginning of the end.
The leaders say that the rest of the battle
must be fought in the courts.
Messrs Weihe and Brennan. president
and legal adviser respectively of the ANAL
gamated Association, were closeted with
Governor Pattison for an hour in the after.
noon. Governor Pattison refused TO dis
close the nature of the conference. and
Messrs. Weihe and Brennan were eouallv
retlcent. Mr.. Brennan said, however
that the object of the visit had SEEMINGLY
Deen accomplished, and that if it has been
successful the present trouble would be
brought to an immediate conclusion.
Last night the limit of time fixed bv
the Carnegie Steel Company in which
their old men might return to their old
places IN the Homestead mills expired
Up to the very last the officers of the
company predicted that there would be
stampede, but it did not come. When the
works shut down for the night it was au
thoritatively stated that only seven of the
old men had come inside the fence.
Inc statement made by Gov. Pattison
to reporter directly after the conference.
That he did not know how much longer
ne would remain in Homestead, would
seem 10 Indicate that he does not take a
Peacetul view OF the situation, and will |
not leave until matters have assumed a
more definite phase. The militiamen
have received rations for five days. and IL
IS almost certain that they will remain in
homestead for that period and probably
longer.
1t is the almost general belief here
among persons interested that Weibe
and Brennan failed to accomplish their
mission. They went directly from head
quarters to the railroad station and tool,
Train for Pittsburg. They did not see
any OF the local leaders either before or
after the conference

has been made to arrest them by Pitts

The Carnegie Company has decided to
evict the Hungarians and Poles VINO oc-
cupy the % company houses on Shanty
Hill inst back of Gen. Snowden's head I
quarters The writs will be served to-day,
and these tenants will then have ten days
In which to move. The heads of these
families are day laborers in the mill, and
are now on strike.
Just what will become of these families
when they are thrown out OF doors is not
known, as there are not 25 vacant houses
in Homestead which they can obtain. The
company intend touse the houses for non
union men, as they are within the lines
of Camp Black and will be safe from mol
estation as long as the military remain.
A report reached Homestead this morn
ing that Andrew Carnegie had decided to
sail for America and take hand IN set
Ting the present difficulties. Supt. Potter
and other officers of the Carnegie Com
pany deny it emphatically They said he |
has not the slightest intention of returning !
to America for some time.
Three hundred strikers, formerly OF the
mechanical department of the Homestead
works, have secured work in laying and
grading the tracks of the pennsylvania
railroad at Millvale, near Pittsburg. Ihe
railroad company applied for hands in
Homestead and a notice stating that 5OO
men were wanted was posted at the head
quarters of the locked out mechanics and
laborers Applications were brisk and no
difficulty was experienced in securing the
requisite number.
! Most of the men were of the
noorer class of Poles and Slavs.
There is only slight increase in the
signs of activity around the Carnegie
mill to-day The greatest efforts are
being made by the company to create
the impression that the mill IS IN opera
tion. but, including the carpenters and
mechanics who have been smuggled into
the works, there are only 200 men where
1000 are usually employed
The TUG Tide left her wharf at 9;20 a. m.
bound for Homestead. An official OF the
! Carnegie Company was present ana
closely inspected the tickets held by the
sixty-five or seventy workmen who were
on the boat. Eight horses and another
large supply of provisions were also taken
on board.
When the Tide had arrived at the Car
negie Mill landing here, not near the
number of men disembarked that were on
board when the boat left Pittsburg.
1t is likely that they deserted the boa'
