Disappointed

peace are hovcring over the city o! Home
stead tonight and there is not an unplcas-
ant indication 70 mar the serenity OF the
iron region. The militia is to be received
with open arms by the mill workers. and Il
speciel po ice, lCO strong, has been selected
from the ranks OF the strikers themselves to
see that no indism,y is Offered the uni
formed rcrrcsenta,iv, 3 of the state by any
ol the injudicious or hut-hcadcd workmcn.
The efficacy OF this police was dcmon-
strated within u l.ul.-hour after the ad-
tournament of the mas, meeting this after
noon by the prompt arrest and escort to he
lookup OF an intenpcratc striker who
questioned the wisdom of receiving the
militia us friends and brothers, and in kill
ing the intted calf in their honor The
emrllticd than in the graceful unanimity
with which the iron workers accepted the
suggestions of their leaders, aud decided
that the troops should be received as lrcn.is
and not as foes, and that in contrast with
the reception to the hated pinkrrlons the
militia should be welcomed by the tri,,Ml-
phant blast of trumpcts and the music OF
the bands.
10 all but the pcssimst the conclusion is
lrrcsistiblct t at the crisis has passed, and
that Homestead will know lustilitics no
more SO long as the military OF the state is
on the ground and there is no attempt to
smuggle the Pinkcrtons into the works
Most people have concluded that the Pink
crtons have
sAT:ATED THEIR WAHLIKE SPIRIT,
and arcnot likely to provoke urthcr blood
shed by attempting to occupy the works.
Indeed, the strikers regard the advent of
the troops rs the s,rcst indication that the
private iniiitiao capital Will nva !e Home
stead no more. and much OF the success of
to-day's meeting was due 10 the belle; that
the state militia was oric cd to Homestead
rs much to prevent the bloctsh d that an
other visit OF tine Pinkertons would provoke
us to quiet the present disorder in the iron
region.
The mass meeting Mt Homestead this aft
crnoon was most significant one and its
developments were awaited with intense
interest by the citizens OH the other side.
The meeting WAS attended by about 5000
people, and in this number was about every
