A Montreal Paper Comes Out in Favor
of Political Onion.
MONTREAL, April 2.-LG Patrie, the lead
ing French liberal organ, has come out fiat
footed for political union with the United
States. 1t says the country is naturally
gravitating toward the United States, and
that a majority Of Canadians. If the Ques-
ton we're put to them, would respond from
their hearts that they we're Americans and
that they cared nothing for the title OF
Canadian or for the old country. La Patrte
adds: There a;e SO many OF our compa-
triots already in the United States that no
harm could possibly come to US on this side
OF the line il we lived under the same fiag."

THE ADJUTANT GENERAL.

His Report To Governor PattisOn On the
situatiOn-Militia viii Preserve Order. =
HARRISBURG, PA, July 10-Adjutant
General Greenland returned from Pitts
burg this morning and soon after called
on Governor PattiSon at the Executive
Mansion to report the situation as be
observed it at Homestead. He gave
the Governor the result of his inter
views with all classes of people and de-
scribed the status Of affairs at the
works.
In an interview the Adjutant General
said that with twenty-five or
thirty deputies, in his opinion
the Sheriff would be permitted
to take charge Of the works, but he
questioned whether larger force
would be allowed to enter.
He admitted that this would be giving
the company control Of the plant in
theory only while the real
condition OF things would be
otherwise. In his talk with
prominent business men and leaders
among the workers at Homestead and
Pittsburg, the Adjutant General learn
ed enough to convince him that the
strained relations would result in an
outbreak. the moment Carnegie IL Co.
attempt TO introduce new men.
The situation is most deplorable,'
said he, "but should the national guard
be sent to Homestead / do not think IL
would meet with resistance"
Being asked whether another open
collision would have to occur before the
troops are called, he replied: Not
necessarily. II the civil authorities find
il impossible to Quell the disturbance,
then the Governor would regard al ap-
peal for aid. Up to this time he has not
had direct request for troops"
Gen. Greenland was asked what par
ticular section OF the National Guard
would be sent to Homestead, and replied
that all were on the same footing. Pre-
parationS for the approaching annual
encampmentS had put the troops in first
class shape, and they could be modified
on short notice. He said large force
could be concentrated at the scene Of
the trouble in very brief time.
The Brigade will likely be called out.

AN EXCITING DAY.

Notice.

HOMESTEAD, PA, July 10.-The at
mosphere OF Homestead is pervaded by
mild symptoms OF hysterla these days.
The intense strain of excitement aud
expected attack TO which the strikers
have been subjected for the past week
beginning TO tell on the men until the
anxiety has reached such a tension that
a renewal OF hostilities would be a posi-
tive relief. Alarm after alarm has
swept over the town and the men have
so often responded to these alarms that
the scramble Of telegraph boy through
the street is almost sufficient for call
TO arms. At various times last night
and during the early hours of morning,
reports were circulated that
the Pinkertons were at the
city's outskirts and the scramble that
succeeded these announcements would
have been ludicrous but for the gravity
of the situation. Men rushed to their
homes and prepared themselves for the

of the great State Of Pennsylvania.

OF the great State OF Pennsylvania.
We have been expecting them and
we are glad they are coming. There
will not be the slightest opposition to
their presence nor the least maLifesta-
tiOn of unfriendliness."
"Do you fear tnat their presence will
be taken advantage of by the company
in an effort TO install non-union men In
the mill?"
Il do not. Governor Pattison has
said that the militia are not to be used
as guards, and he is not sending them
here FOR that purpose.
"They will be kept here few days and
when it is seen how peaceabie every
thing is predict they will be with
drawn.
The Sheriff has been insisting that he
could not keep the peace, aud / sup
pose IL has been finally determined TO
send the troops here to see how neces-
sary they are.
They will be received with respect.
Our fight was against the Plnkertons-
against invasion of our homes by an
armed, illegal, and disreputable private
army"
Mr.. McLuckie's words are accepted
by all as final and as indi-
eating the tactics of the strikers.
There will be no opposition to
the strikers and no manifesto
tlons OF unfriendlineSs. But the strik-
ers are religiously relying upon the
Governor to afford no assistance to the
company In the installation OF nom
union labor and are trusting that the
troops may be speedily withdrawn,
leaving the situation practically the
same as before their arrival. 1t that
event the strikers expect to be able to
continue to bar out the non-union work
men.
Hugh O'Donnen, the leader of the
strikers, was seen at midnight. II
cannot believe il, l cannot believe it, "
he repeated, when informed that Gov
ernOr PattisOn had ordered out out the
militia.
His recent interview with the GOV
ernor was evidently fresh in his mind
and be could not credit the report that
In "a hours Homestead would be the
bivouac of 5000 mlitlamen, and the
reign of the strikers an era or the past.
Shortly after midnight hurried call
was sent out for meeting Of the ad-
visory committee to consider the atti-
tude which should be assumed towards
the militia.
The intention IS that the committee
shall take definite action and that the
great army of strikers shall be called
upon to observe Implicitly the recon-
mendatiOns of this committee.
The meeting is being held at pri-
vate residence behind closed doors, as it
is expected that the troops will arrive
early In the day, however.
1t is given out un-officsally that at
the late meeting Of the Advisory Com
mittee called after midnight, it was de-
cided TO offer no resistance to the mill
tia occupancy Of the town or Carnegie

HOMESTEAD, PA, July 1O.-IntenSe
excitement was created late tonight by
the announcement that the PennSylva-
MIA Militia, 5000 strong, had been or
dered out and would arrive in Home
tead tomorrow.
The news flashed over the wires TO
this city at 11:O1 p. m, and few min
utes later IL had come TO the ears of the
strikers.
AT first the report was received with
increiulity, but few inquiries among
the press representatives convinced
them that it was right
Little groups gathered at the street
corner and the situation was discussed
in low, but earnest tones. The
hot-headed strikers were az first
disposed to De little defiant,
and there were occasional declarations
that even the militia would be opposed,
but when 10 was learned that the diviS-
ion ordered out numbered 5000 men,
these declarations promptly gave way 10
''Oh, we'll, we have beat the PinkertonS.
anyway.
They did not dare to come" and
thus consolation is found in the refec-
tion that the most hated enemy OF or
ganized labOr-the Pinkerton guards,
had been obliged TO confess defeat and
gave up the battle.
The leaders OF the strikers were unus-
ally uncommUnicative. I'VE cannot
talk was the response to all interroga-
tiOnS.
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 armastice
would be declared until after their de-
parture.
But they will have to go away some
time, j." said the leader OF little group
near the depo., 'and when they do we
would like TO see them run the mill non
union"
When the militia Is withdrawn the
strikers will swoOp down like birds Of
prey upon the non-unioniStS that il is
attempted 10 install in their places, and
they will be rent TO pieces BY their enc
mics.
Burgess McLuekie, who with Hugh
O'Donnell, is one or the leaders OF the
Homestead strikers, was seen late to-
night and asked;
"How do you regard the latest news
calling out the militia?"
That's right in our line. 1t suits US

''Row will the militia be received?"
"With open arms.
There will be no h0stility?n

ence yesterday with II. c. Frick,
Chairman of the Carnegie Steel sCom-
pany. The purpose Of this meeting was
not made public until to-day.
Mr.. Frlck was informed by the
city officials that should he bring
any more PInkerton or, other armed
men to this city, either In body or
sirgly, they would be arrested, held for
trial and their weapons seized.
1t is said that Mr.. Frick told the
Mayor that il was not his intention TO
bring any more Pinkerton's here.

capital shall lie down with the lamb OF
labor, and there will be no Pinkertons
to destroy or harm"
The manifestations Of approval
which followed these expressions
amounted almost to applause and the
following sentiments from
THE PRAYER OF REV. DIR. M'ILYAR
also received cordial approval:
"Whle the surgng waves Of sorrow
have pressed heavily on this commu-
nifty during the past few days, we pray
that with Gods help our faith shall be
stayed and our confidence in God and
our hope of salvation made more
strong. God grant comfort to these
hearts that are watching today
over their wounded and those
widows and mothers that are weeping
over their dead. God grant in great
mercy, through the power of the saliva
ton of the dying Christ, that all those
things may work together for our good
in Christ Jesus, so move to the mind Of
the community of the forces. OF this
State, to the sober-thinking and intel
ligent men of this State, that peace and
harmony may be restored. Oh. God,
we pray that demagogy may take a
back seat and that honest men may be
brought TO the front. God grant that
in all these conflicts we may see saliva
ton going forward, peace and harmony
triumphant, prosperity reign again In
our community as it has done in the
past"
At st. Mary's Catholic Church, on
Twelfth avenue, this morning at high
mass, the Rev. j. j. Bullion spoke OF
the riot and the present uneasy condi-
tion of the town. He adjudged his flock
to do everything in its power to avoid
further bloodshed, and declared that IL
should be no common effort OF all good
citizens to bring about the arbitration
of the present quarrel. This, he said,
the power of public opinion would force
upon both the disputants. In speaking
about the matter afterward,
FATHER BULLION SAID:
This IS a peaceable community. but q
fearless one. They will not submit TO
what they deem illegal forces. Ifanother
attempt is made to force the Plnkertons
into Homestead fear the very worst
end. There will be bloodshed. The
Quarrel cannot be settled that way, the
firm and the men must arbitrate."
But il the firm refuse to arbitrate?
How can it in reason reject reasonable
solution OF this most calamitous affair?
But il it did reject the solution, then |
should doubt its honesty and wopld be-
lieve that it was cloaking its real pur-
pose under false and suspicious cover.
But the opinion OF the country can CO.
cree them; both sides must come to-
gether, or we will have schocking and
demoralizing sequel to the work OF last
week"
The fact is that Homestead is as much
in state of siege as though public
enemy were camped upon the heights
around the town, and their gunboats
lying upon the river. The civil law has
given place to the martial, and on the
whole the latter is being administered
with less friction than one would ex-
meet
