When the result was announced the sup

however, and an enthusiastic crowd es-
corted him TO the hotel. Sir Charles wife,
her face beaming with smiles, met him on
the steps, from which Sir Charles delivered
an address thanking his supporters.
After most bitter fight Sir Charles
Dixie has ngain been given an opportunity

him was not waged so much ON political
grounds for the Forest Of Dean division, in
which he stood, has always given good Lib

To Serve Them with Rood.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 16.-Opposite the
main entrance Of the steel works stands
Carnegie hotel Since the arrival of the
state troops the STAFF officers have been tax
ing their meals there. Yesterday the man
agcr of the hotel was informed by the head
waiter that unless he refused TO entertain
General SnOwden and other division and
regmental officers who had been eating at
the Hotel Carnegie the help would strike
The head cook also sent word that he would
not prepare any more meals for members Of
the staff.
When General Snowden and other officers
repaired 10 the hotel this morning prepared
to get away with the regular layout of ham
and egSs, they found they had been placed
under the ban Of boycott. There was but
one waiter in the place, and he said it was
his painful duty TO inform the guests that
they could get nothing to eat; that the
head cook had joined in the boycott against
militiamen and that if they waited TO get a
meal in that particular hostelry it would be
a long and dreary stay
General Snowden had not slept well and
emphatically refused TO grasp the humor of
the situation. He gave utterance to few
choice expressions and hastened back to his
headquarters. He lost no time in issuing
orders TO the cook with Battery B for a
breakfast.

Over Two Hundred Men Sent to Pitts

PITTsBURG, July l6-A special to The
Leader from Cincinnati says: 1t is now
known to be a fact that a local detective
agency has for several days been gathering
men for Homestead. Since Sunday $50 men
have been secured, and every one is now in
Pittsburg or its immediate vicinity The
last lot left Wednesday night. The men are
stout, brawny fellows, but are toughs.
Scarcely any of them know a thing about
mill work They were hired at wages rang
ing from three 70 five dollars. The Evening
Post in an extra edition, in the course Of
double loaded article on the subject, says
the whole story has leaked ont through the
indiscretion of one Of the men thus en-
listed.
John Gerke, a former employee Of A.
Staal, the shoemaker, Vine and Sixth street,
accosted the latter with, "Well, Pm going
to leaven
"Wher' are you goingf was asked.
"Io Homestead" Then after some hesi-
fancy Gerke said: "There are about 2sO
men already collected and we are promised
from three dollars a day up"
Further questioning by Mr.. Staal elected
the fact that they were going as workmen,
and not as guards or watchmen. Mr. Staal
was seen by Post reporter, and repeated
the information as given above.

A dispatch from Washington says: Henry

member Of the Republican national com

meeting Of the committee in New York.
This matter was settled at a meeting of the
president and some Of his political friends.
The president was not originally in favor of
Mr.. Payne's selection rs he was partially
anxious that either ex-senator Spooner,
Senator Aldrich or Senator Mcmillan
should assume the task
Mr.. Spooner declined, for the reason that
his time and energies must be given entire
ly TO the campaign in Wisconsin, where he
will probably be a candidate for the seat in
the senate which Philetus Sawyer will
voluntarily surrender. Senators Adrich
and Mcmillan refused to accept because Of
the pressure Of private business affairs, and
Mr.. Payne has therefore been determined

Air. Wheeler, of Alabama, opposed It, 1t
was agreed that a vote should be taken on
she bin nt ~ o'clock on Tuesday next. A
resolution was passed calling on the post

the letting of mail contracts TO railroads
iince March, 1852 The conference report

The senate adopted final conference re
ports on the army, navy and legislative ex

assented 10 house resolution extending
existing appropriations for objects not yet
acted upon until July 80. II also passed the
fortiiications bill, with amendments. Mr..

sion that there was deliberate plan &c
crowd out his antioption bill by antagoniz.
ing it with appropriations bills and 10y othei
methods, warmly opposed and defeated o

journed, however, Mr. Hale gave notice
that he should call up the deficiency bill
(which has a right Of way) Saturday, and
