he reserved Pittsburg, Philadelphia and the

He says it is too hot to visit the charitable
places in the cities in summer.
The secretary had little to say about the
work he is doing. "In the northern section
of the State" he said. "the charitable homes
and the penal institutions are in excellent
condition. The managers are always willing
to make changes when recommended.

Two years ago the State was short OF
funds, and most of the appropriations were
cut down one-half. 1t Is expected that
many of the charitable homes will close the
year in bad financial holes. The State in
stitutions are first provided for, and it is
expected that some heavy drafts will be
made fol aid next year. A number of
needed and contemplated improvements in
hospitals, ETC., went by default, because the
State couldn't help them.

A MAN TO BEAT MORGAN.
AL Carlile Thinks John II. Wallace Is the
Logical Candidate


Al. Carlile returned yesterday from trip
through Ohio. The veteran Democrat is
pleased with himself as a political prophet.
He said before the conventions tina Har-
rison would be nominated, and that Cleve-
land and Stevenson would be the Democratic
candidates. He now predicts that Grover
will carry the country in a canter. He even
believes that with the right kind of manage
that anti-Cleveland Democrats are in the
saddle in the Buckeye State doesn't
they fail to do the square thing
the people will turn them down. The
voters will not stand any monkeying this
Presidential candidate, and he hoped to slip
into the nomination between Cleveland and
Hill. He spent considerable money electing
delegates in Ohio.
Il think" said Mr.. Carlile last evening,
"that T. r. Morgan, the Republican candi-
date for Congress in McKinley's old district.
can easily be beaten II the right man is
candidate is John H. Wallace, of New
Lisbon. He defeated Mckinley once, but
was counted out. Mr.. Wallace is not after
the place, and ii he is named it will be one
Of the few instances on record where the
office songht the man. There are q number
OF aspirants for the job of running against
Morgan.
Congressman Warwick has made a deal
by which he hopes Sam Phipps, of Youngs-
town, will be his legatee, but Phipps is the
weakest man that could be put up, and he
will certainly be turned down. other can
didates are DR.. 1kint. of East Liverpool, w.
S. Potts, editor of the Ohio Pdtrios of New
of Canton. hope that Wallace will be Sc
lected."

PRESIDENT wEIHE DENIES
That He Signed an appeal for Financial
Aid for Workers

Word was received in this city at late
hour last night that q paper was being cir.
culated among the trade unions in New
York City, appealing in the name of the
Amalgamated Association for financial aid
to provide for poor strikers in Homestead
The paper was said to be signed by Presi.
dent william Weihe and Thomas j. Craw-
ford and George c. Ryland, two of the
Amalgamated leaders in Homestead.
When President Weihe was shown the
Telegram from New York at an early hour
this morning and asked ii the paper being
circulated was genuine, he said: 81 have no
knowledge OF such q circular One thing
positive, never authorized the use of NV
name upon any such paper, and i entertain
ford know anything of the matter. The cir.
cular did not emannte from the National
Lodge and If the Homestead people gave
their sanction to such a measure being used
for securing financial aid i most certainly
would have heard something of it. Another
thing, i: the paper was genuine / should
naturally believe that the name of Hugh
O'DonneI would have been signed to the
appeal instead of the other two men.
For my part L think the paper is a hoax
1t has only been n short time since the same
thing was attempted in this city and the
Amalgamated Association put a stop to it.
During the present trouble we have received
numerous offers of financial assistance from
outside lodges all over the country and the
number. II the locked-out men needed
money they would have answered these
communications or notified the National
Lodge to do the same. There is no need of
a petition being circulated and 1 am en-
phatic in my belief it is not genuine"

A BIG packages OF MONEY GONE,
But the Express Company Omcials Refuse
IN Saw 1t Contained $50, 900,

But the Express Company OniciaIs Refuse
to Say 1t Contained 100000,
NEW HAVEN, CONN, July 17.-[Spcal.
From the ret1cence and peculiar manner
of the officials of the Adams Express Com
pany, there seems to be some foundation Tor
the report of the reported robbery ofthe conn.,
pany of package of money destined for q
Meriden bank. General Barton, agent
of the Adams Express Office in this city,
when seen tonight absolutely declined to
talk, or say whether the sum was more or
less than 100000. It is said here that
detectives have been employed
BY the express company and are at
work, but no complaint of such a loss
has been made to the local police,
nor do they know anything about the
matter. Several of the employees of the
Government were seen tonight. but all eI-
press ignorance. Ex-Judge Lynde Har-
rison, counsel for the Adams Express Com
pany, and Mr.. Barton, held a short con-
sultation this morning. Judge Harrison
would say nothing further than it was his
opinion that the matter did not amount to
much.
A special from Bridgeport says: Neither
President Henry Sanford nor Division
Superintendent John Curtis, of the Adams
Express Company, are in this city, and
Agent G. A. Peabody will give no infor-
nation concerning the reported loss of .
valuable pouch of money between New
York and New Haven.

THE sw11zERLAND's PASSENGERS.

II They Contained Laborers for Home
stead, the Warming Came Too Late.
PHILADELPHIA, July l7.-If the information
received by President Weihe, of the ANAL
gamated Association, that the Carnegie
Company is importing ironworkers from
Belgium by the steamer Switzerland is true
then the mon are safe behind the Gordon of
troops around Homestead. for the Switzer-
land arrived here last Wednesday. The
Switzerland brought $40 immigrants, every
one of whom passed by the inspectors and
were allowed to proceed to their destina-
tions
When the Switzerland's passengers were
landed Thursday Immigrant Inspector
Stratton was not present, as he is away on
his vacation. In his absence the Custom
House inspectors put the usual questions to
the immigrants. and, finding the answers OF
all satisfactory allowed them to land. Deputy
Surveyor Franklin, who was on the deck
examining aggage, noticed among the
newly-arrived passengers q company of
about 100 men, who were noticeable for
their stalwart appearance. Deputy Franklin
says all of them had the look of men who
had been engaged in some occupation that
developed their strength. He also noticed
that their baggage was checked for Altoona,
Pa. Chief Officer Apetz was in charge of
the Switzerland to-day, and he said that few
OF the steamers passengers were Belgians,

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Trades and La
Dor Assembly to-day passed resolutions
calling for the arrest of William and
Robert Pinkerton and 81. C. Frick on the
charges of treason, murder, and melting to
riot and insurrection. The following was
then adopted, against the emphatic objec-
tions of few:
WHEREAS. 1t is reported that military
force is being organized from the labor
unions of the city and elsewhere with the
declared purpose of physically resisting the
armed forces of the employing class; and,
Whereas, The maintenance of such an
armed force is practically impossible, and
every effort in that direction is most unwise
and injurious to the interests of labor, SO
long as the workers have O right to vote.
and through the ballot box control State
and National troops, regulate the police and
abolish the Pinkertons, therefore,
Resolved, That the Trade and Labor As
sembly condemn the movement to make
military organizations of our labor organ
izations.

O'DONNELL'S TRIP EAST.
He Leaves Homestead Perhaps to Sec Gov

to Attend Labor Leader Conference in
PhiIad elDnis.

tDY ASSOCIATED PRESS.I
HOMESTEAD, July T.-Hugh O'Donnell,
with small valise in hand, turned up at
the railroad station just as the Pittsburg
train was pulling out this evening and
swung himself onto the train. Where he
was going, or how long he proposed to be
absent, were questions which he declined to
answer to the eager inquirers who gathered
about him.
go and see Crawford; he will give you
all the news" O'Donnell called from the
train as it pulled out.
Mr.. Crawford said chat he understood
that Mr.. O'Donnell would return on Tues
day, but that he was not at Liberty to say
where he had gone or what was his mission.
The generally accepted theory is that the
Chairman of the Advisory Committee has
gone to Harrisburg to meet Gov ernor Patti
son before his coming to Homestead, al
though it IS admitted that he may have left
to attends conference of labor leaders, In
cluding Powderiy and Gompers, which
some of the rumor-mongers declare Is about
to be held in Philadelphia.
1t is said that all of the Winchesters of the
Pinkertons have been taken out of Alle-
gheny county and are now being stored
somewhere until legal advice oan be safely

was to take some official action on the COM
pany's invitation to all the mechanics and
lsborers formerly in its employ to return to
work this morning.
The meeting lasted nearly 40 minutes.
When it had adjourned the reporters were
given the appended set OF resolutions, which
so the leaders said, was the only news for
publication.
WHEREAS, We, the employees of the mechan-
ical department and day laborers of the
Carnegie's Steel Works of Homestead in
meeting assembled do offer the following
as our views in regard to the labor troubles
existing at present.
Resolved, That we are in sympathy with
the Amalgamated Association and pledge
ourselves to stand with them to the end.
Resolved, That we consider it an injustice
to the mechanical department and the day
laborers Gnd an insult to their manhood to
ask them TO work under guard, ,as we believe
yet in this land OF the free all should be
free. a
Getting Ready 10 b gin Work.
The leaders of the Amalgamated men, in
cluding Hugh O'Donnell Dave Shannon
and Burgess McLuckie, consider that this
action on the part of the mechanics and
laborers will prove hard blow to the Car
negie Company. They say furthermore that
Mr.. Frick will find it a difficult task to find
new mechanics capable of satisfactorily fill
ing the places of the old men. Be this true
or otherwise Superintendent Potter evil
IDENTIFY intends to begin operations this
morning, as all day yesterday he and his as
sistants were about the works. He declined
10 talk for publication.
There were so many strangers in Home
stead yesterday and the town wore such a
holiday look that most of the strikers
mingled with the throngs of pleasure seek
ers and went up to Carnegie Hill to watch
the drilling of the troops. The majority of
them declared that they would indulge in no
outbreak even if the yards were packed
with "black sheep" during the night.

a STRIKE NOT ORDERED.
The Duquesne Men viii Do Nothing Until
Better Organized.

The Carnegie employees of the Duquesne
Steel Works held a mass meeting in the
grove near Duquesne yesterday morning to
further consider the advisability of coming
ont in sup port of the Homestead men. The
meeting was generally attended, and a
large number of the locked-out men from
Homestead were present to encourage the
local workmen in taking a stand in their be-
half Speeches were made by the local and
Homestead leaders The latter especially
urged the men to strike. They argued that
it simply meant self-preservauion, as the
time was not far distant when they also
would suffer reductions in wages. They
pleaded eloquently for the men at this place
TO support the Amalgamated Association
in this crisis and assured them of being we'll
taken care of should they come out. The
men were urged to organize at once, as they
could do nothing unless they were O unit in
their action. Local speakers were non
committai, but the pleadings of the locked.

out men had such effect that resolutions
were passed declaring their intention to Or
ganize and that ut once Several organ
izers were appointed and ordered to begin
active operations at once. The meeting
then adjourned without taking further
action.
An uncertain feeling prevails among the
men, though the general opinion Is that
they will not strike, or If so not in the near
future. They will first try TO organize
lodges of the Amalgamated Association.
News of the meeting spread, and some ex-
citement was created by the report that the
men had decided to strike tomorrow.
This is untrue. as little or no organization
prevails here at present.

Railroad Men Won't Interfere.

The railroad men on the Pittsburg, Vir-

port that they will refuse to haul non-union
freight to and from the Homestead mill. An
engineer said last evening that he for one
men spoke in the same way. They regard
the strike at Homestead as none of their
business, and say they will not interfere.
