Situation at Homestead.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 14.-The
borough of HON estead was placed under
martial law this morning. This is the
outcome Of the unwarranted arrest of
strangers yesterday. The Homestead
locked out mon are not entirely pleased
over the threatened strike to day at the
union iron works IN Pittsburg. 1t is the
general opinion among the Homestead
men that more assistance can be given
them if the men remain at work than by
coming out. There are to-day an un-
usual number OF men in the steel works,
but whether tEev are non-union work
men or not it has not been learned.
The strikers are convinced that by night.
fall men will be put TO work in the mill
under protection of the military. They
are watching all Pittsburg, Braddock
and Homestead stations closely. About
ten men got off at the Baltimore and
Ohio Station across the river this morn
ing and announced that they were going
to apply tor work. They were persuad-
ed to 90 back TO Pittsburs. The men
are more subducd than during the early
part of the week, and do not threaten
TO enter the works and drive of the nom
unlonists notwithstanding military, as
they did before. 1t ls now thought they
will wait until the militia leave. The
strikers have received a resolution of
sympathy from the Polishers Lodge at
New Haven, Conn.

Ject of the colored population of the

shows that the total colored population,
as returned under the census of 1890. is
1858 800. OF this number 7,47OO4O are
persons of African descent, 1O7,475 are
Chinese, 2,O39 are Japanese and SO, 8,8O6
are civilized Indians. Considering per
sons of African descent. it is seen that
there has been an increase during the
decade from 1880 to 1890 of S89, PAT. or
1891 per cent. aS against an increase
during the decade from 1870 to 1880 OF
l,IOO,7S4, or .S5 per cent. The bulle-
tin says:
The abnormal increase Of the colored
population of the south during the de-
cade ending in 1880, led to the popular
oellef that the negroes were increasing
at much greater rate than the white
population. The present census has
shown, however, that the high rate of
increase III the colored population as
SHOWN by the census of 1880, was an

The excited pOpulace wrecked and

patients were dragged out of one hos

thought, from being buried alive. Medi-
Cal assistants were attacked and two Of
them killed. The rioters threatened to
take fun possession OF the city and
would undoubtedly have done so had it
not been for the opportune arrival of
troops which had been summoned. a
Nollcy was poured into the mob, killing
three Of them and wounding four
others. The rioters then dispersed.
