INVITED TO RETURN.

The Manager OF Carpegie's HomosteAe
Mills Invites tho Old Employees to ne.
turn to Work as Individuals-The Can
Unheeded by tho Strikers.
HOMESTEAD, July 1s.-The Carnegie
Company intends to begin the work OF
repairing It's mills here to-day. prepara-
tory to starting anew on the work left
unfinished by the. lockout. Saturday
every man in the mechanical depart
ment of the mills received the following
notice from ]. A. Potter, general super
intendent: "Dear Sir: Repairs will be
resumed on Monday, July Is, 1892. we
write you to return to your old posi-
ton, work to commence at the usual
time"
The Carnegie Steel Company has
posted the following notice in regard to
employment at the Homestead works.
Individual applications for employment OF the
Homestead steel works will be received by tho
general superintendent either IN person IaoS Sr
letter until 0 p. m, Thursday, July q, 1877
is our desire TO retain In our service al our ole
employees whose past record Is satisfactory anu
who did not take part In the attempts Wnlcn
have been made TO tnterfere with our r8ht to
as do not apply by the time above named win
be considered as having no desire TO re-enter
our employ and the positions which they nave
held will be given to other mon, and those nrSs
applying will have the choice OF unnlled posi-
tions for which they are suitable
Instead OF sending in their names as
individuals and applying for their old
positions in response to the notice
posted by Mr.. Frick on Saturday, the
former employees of the Carnegie COM
pany who are not members OF the Anal
gamated association got together Sun
day aad unanimously decided to stand
out to the end.
Assurances have been received from
unions whose men handle products OF
the Homestead mills that they stand
ready to declare a general boycott
against Carnegie materials. These in
clude the Freight Handlers Union,
which will refuse to ship iron and
steel to and from the MILL structural
shipbuilders and Others who will quit
work rather than use the product oi
non-union men.
Both sides admit that there is no i'm
mediate prospect of a settlement OF the
strike, and already the cost is consider
ably more than s1,00O,0OO. Every day
that the works are idle costs the Car
negie Company $780, 1t is nineteen
days since the workmen went out and
the wheels stopped moving. That
means q loss of $3.50, 900 TO the company.
The military have been under arms one
week, and at $40, 900 day have cost the
state Of Pennsylvania $4,000. The
cost to the company and to the state
now foots up Sl,09o,0OO, and is piline
up at the rate of $4,000 day. In ad
dition to all this the workmen lose theil
wages and ten men have lost their lives
The destruction of property has no
been great, as the barges burned were
inexpensive.

A BIG SEA BASS.
IL Is Seven Feet Long and Weighs -Four
Hundred Pounds.

IL Is Seven Feet Long and Weighs -Four
Hundred Pounds.
A large crowd on the Oakland (Cal)
ferryboat collected about one Of the
trunk carts the other day, attracted by
a huge and queer fish that was extend
ed along the frame of the truck. To
every appearance the fish belonged TO
the trout family and was judged to be
n freak in size. One Of the curious
lockers on measured the length Of the
monster and found it TO be nearly seven
feet, while the greatest breadth about
the body was three and half feet. The
scales appeared very much like pieces
Of abalone shell, but were ductile and
semi-transparent
BY and by, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, the inevitable know-all came
along and he explained the wonder to
the crowd. The sOa leviathan was a
species Of the black sea bass, and by
oil odds the largest Of its kind ever
captured on the coast. Its weight was
about four hundred pounds. II was
captured off the Cataline islands, and
the powerful rope fastened through its
enormous mouth attested its prodigious
strength.
1t was learned that smaller specimens
of the fish are brought up from
the Santa Barbara and sold TO whole
sale dealers, who in turn retail them To
restaurants. The restaurants, by a
process Of seasoning and hammering
out the flesh, are enabled to serve the
Ash to their patrons under dozen diff
ferent IAmes.

Points About Baskets.

A general mistake is made about bas-
ltets, most people supposing that the
white willow basket is the best. 1t
looks best, but II is by no means the
strongest. The white willow slips are
cut in the fall and kept green all winter
by packing the stubs in wet sand or
water, and when spring comes the bark
peefs off with twist Of the hand. The
buff baskets, on the contrary, are made
from dried willow slips, which have
been steamed then peeled. While not
so handsome, they are much stronger,
and will wear far longer than the white.

CoIored Veterans.

ALBANY, n. Y, May 21--General Palmer.
commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., when
shown a dispatch from New Orleans stating
that the division of Mississippi and Lou
lsiana G. A R. had surrendered their
division charter on account of what
they allege is an attempt on the part
of General Palmer to force the division to
admit cOlored veterans, said: my knOwl-
edge of this question obtained in the public
press The officers in the Louisiana depart
ment are fully aware of the action of the last
national encampment- Eight white posts
division 1t is not reasonable to suppose
that the representatives of eight posts can
override the voice of nearly million of men
represented at the national encampment,
where, at the last meeting in Detroit, they
tri&l TO have two separate departments in
the division, one for white posts and one for
colored, so that each could hold separate
meetings. This proposition, however, was
rejected. The cOlored posts recently notified
me that they had rendered their dues to the
Louisiana department headquarters, which
refused them. / ordered the department
commander to recognize these posts and re-
ceive dues He refused. Nothing was then
left for me but to suspend him. The com
mand of the Departments then devolVed upon
Senior Vice Commander Durkee, who or
dered should report to me by May 10 whether
he carried oat my instructions to recognize
these posts having failed to so comply, an
order will be issued suspending Durkee and
designating the junior vice commander 10
take charge Of the affairs OF the department
If he declines to obey orders, then shall De
obliged to place some one else IN command
of the department."

KANSAS RAILROADS.

The annual meeting of the stOckhold-
ers of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
will be held at Parsons, Kan, May Is.
The meeting of the directors will in all
probability be held in New York imme-
diately afterward, and there is cOnsid-
cradle speculation as to the outcome.
The Santa Fe has issued circular
announcing that the following Kansas
agencies have been discontinued, and
that freight destined thereto must be
prepaid: Kellogg, East Paramount,
Muncy, Bradford, Halifax Brewer, One
onta, Rochester, Isabel, Wilmore, Tim
kon, Mekoma and Grigsby.
The Santa Fe railroad fled its answer
to the suit of the Symns Grocery com
pany, Of Atchison against the Kansas
railroad commissioners. The answer
says the real parties at interest are the
interior wholesalers of the state, and
asks that they be made defendants in
the suit In order that the road may have
its duties more clearly outlined; that
the road has no desire to be discrimins-
tive, but wants to do it's duty under
the law. The Union Pacific has also
fled its answer, which admits that the
rates complained of are discriminativs
against Missouri river jobbsrs II
Kansas.

STOCK AND FARM.

Clyde Herald: Vol Christian says he
planted potatoes on the 26th of Febru-
AIRY, and that they are now up and
looking well.
Cedar Vale Commercial: We have
heard several farmers complaining from
the raids made on their corn by the
wire worm and the moles, but we have
heard of but one instance where the
moles bothered corn where the seed was
soaked in coal oil before planting.
Garnett Eagle: Many of our farmers
are planting corn, and among those
who "hustled' last fall much of that
work has been completed and in many
instances the corn is coming up nicely.
Outside of all the theory and argument
to the contrary, the fall blowing is
what pays in Kansas, and, fguratiyely
speaking, the early bird continues to
get the worm.
Guthrie, o. T., special: A prominent
gentleman, who is Just in from the Cher
okee strip, states that there are fully
$4,000 cattle on the strip, and the gov
eminent seems to be making no effort
to remove them. The cowboys have es-
tablished themselves in permanent
camps and are prepared to stay all sum-
mer. A large number of cattle have
wandered up near the Kansas line, near
Hunnewell, and the farmers are very
much incensed, as they fear their cattle
will take the Texas fever. They are or
ganizing, and say if the government
does not act soon they will shoot the
caffle

SIOUX CITY, 1.-The Floyd river is swept
through this city in raging torrents half
a mile WIDE and hundreds of houses are
wholly or partly submerged. II is known
that nine persons are drowned and it Is feared
the list will be largely increased.
All the railroad tracks and depots are IN
der water; also all the packing houses and
many factories. The stock yards and pack
ing houses, situated at the confluence of the
two rivers, were instantly Inundated About
1000 head of live stock drowned there. Many
head of dead stock have also been floating
down the Floyd river.
Miles of cedar block paving have been
washed out
The flood covers one-third of the city. It
came down Floyd river in a wave three feet
high and filed houses before warning could
reach the people.
Eight thousand people have been driven
from their homes All business is suspended
The chamber OF commerce organized for re-
lief work, and before noon the ladies had
several soup and lunch houses opened for the
flood sufferers.
A citizens meeting organized TO provide
shelter to the homeless thousands. The loss
of life is large. The work of rescue with
boats and other means was hindered by the
high wind Many houses went to pieces al
once from the united forces of wind and
water. There is neither gas nor electric light
as both plants are under water.
The whole railroad yards and switching
track district are under water, and there hal
been immense damage TO round houses and
other railroad property. The round houses
of the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis 4
Omaha are damaged to the extent of $40 900
| That road, the Illinois Central and the Sioul
| City & Northern enter the city by the RlOyC
valley, and all are stopped

Floods on Chanre

CHICAGO, May 21.-The flood excitement
broke out in a new place-the Chicago board
of trade. The newspapers were crammed
with reports of calamities in all directions by
water, and everybody on change was appar-
emily apprehensive and nervous about the
crop outlook. The officially in getting COM
municatlons, owing to the washing away of
telegraph poles, added to the abnormal feel
ing. Swartz Dupee got Paris cable and
attempted TO buy wheat on it, but found
there was hardly any to be had, and began to
bid for It. This was all that was necessary
70 start a stampede, and after few sales had
been made at sos there was a rapid boom
70 81 But there was large lot for sale at
tins point and quick break to 81 = followed.
Corn shared IN the excitement for the sim
pie reason of dispatches telling of constant
Hoods and rain throughout the entire district
and scarcely any corn yet planted.
Frankenfelt of the signal service said more
ram had fallen in the past few days in the
corn belt, as a whole, than in any other part
OF the country.

Chief Harris Talks

WAsHISGTos, D. c, May 2o.-Chief Harris,
of the Cherokees, said that he had understood
that some objections were raised to the treaty
on the ground that it called for an appropri-
alton between IS, 0OO, 900 and s., 10000 He
regarded this as an easy obstacle to over
come. He thinks that it could be so arranged
that the Cherokee council would accept certi-
hcates of Indebtedness from the government
and allow these to be redeemed BY the money
received for the lands when thrown open 10
settlement This is a quiet scheme under
consideration in the senate committee on In
dian Affairs and, as expressed by one of the
senators is being examined ard scrutinized
thoroughly. Harris Is interested to the eX-
tent of finding out the wishes of the Cherokee
people, as expressed by the council, and
some of the Cherokees here say It will be ac-
cepte1. This would remove the objections
based on appropriations and avoid embar-
RAISING the Holman species of the house.

Death OF John A. Anderson.

L1vEHPooL--John A. Anderson, United
States consul general at Cairo, Egypt, died
in a hospital here.
About a year ago, he was appointed by
President Harrison, and Immediately went
to Egypt; and from the time of his arrival
suffered from rheumatism and sciatica.
He had been an inmate of hospital for
three months, and his health was all the time
failing. Finding that it would be impossible
to hold his post any longer, he decided to re-
turn to Kansas, and started for home two
weeks ago. He reached Liverpool and was
about TO take a steamer for America, when
he had ahother serious attack and died, the
immediate cause of his death being a serious
abscess. 1t IS understood his body will bs
shipped from Liverpool on the first steamer
and will be taken to Manhattan for burial.

How sIo,,x civ ooLs.

Sioux CRY, May 21.-The scene which Is
disclosed by the recession of the food is one
which beggars description Throughout the
flooded district it is one story of destruction
aud damage. The food, at its height, ex-
tended from Court street to Floyd Bluffs, and
from the suburb of Lynn to the Mississippi
river. This comprises a district i've miles
long and mile and half wide. For the
distance of a mile and a half above the mouth
of the Floyd, the bottom is densely popu-
lated large portion of the inhabitants are
poor people who are employees of packing
houses, railroads, etc At the height of the
food the current struck straight through the
residence streets Along these nearest the
river scores of dwellings were swept from
their foundations and carried long distances
and either smashed or turned bottom side

Water, Water, Everywhere.

KANSAS CTTY.-NOt a house in Harlem is
habitable and many of them have collapsed
and fioated of. In ArmOurdale the situation
is nearly as bad, with much greater damages,
as there is more at risk. This place, a ward
of Kansas City, Kan, is from two to seven
feet under water. Here are all the great
packing houses.
The reported loss of sixty or more lives al
Sioux City has caused IA general abandon
ment of houses in Armourdale.
At Argentine, itself a city of the second
class, about the same condition of affairs ex-
lists. Here are the great silver smelters
which are only partly protected by embank
ments hastily built around them.

SALISBURY Wants ReoIDrooItv-

LONDON, May 2l.-LOrd Salisbury, in a
speech, which he delivered at Hastings, coun-
seled the workingmen to follow the example
set them by nations and substitute arbitra-
ton for the violent methods which were
sometimes adopted for settling labor dis
putes. He said that grave matter In which
the prosperity of the country was involved
was the question of free trade. England, :"
he declared, ''Only maintains the position
which she occupies by the vast industries ex-
isting here, but danger IS growing up.
Fifty years ago everybody believed that free
trade had conquered the world and prOphe-
sled that every nation would follow the ex-
ample of England The results, however, are
not what had been expected Despite the
prophesles of the free trade advocates, for
eign nations are adopting protection They
are excluding from their markets and are
trying to kill our trade. And this state of
things appears TO grow worse. We live IN an
age of war tariffs. Another important point
is that while nations are negotiating to OBJ
tain each O hers commercial favor, none Is
anxious about the favor of Great Britain, be
cause Great Britain has stripped herself of
the armor and weapons with which the battle
is to be fought. The attitude which We have
taken in regarding it as dIsloyal to the glori-
Gus and sacred doctrines of free trade to levy
duties on anybody for the sake of anything
We get thereby, Is not business like. Cheers.
On these terms you will not get anything. If
you intend to hold your own in this conflict
OF tariffs you must be prepared to refuse ma
lions who inIure you according to your mar
kets. We complain most of the United
States, and it so happens that the United
States maintains and furnishes US with arti-
cles which are essential to the good of the
people, and with raw material which is essen
| tial to our manufacturers. We cannot ex-
| clude either without injury to ourselves.

countries, to infiict dangerous wounds on

Critical situation.

KANSAS CITY, No, May 21--The river is
still rising. The situation is becoming crit
zeal. and should the June rise occur during
this time an immense amount Ofdamage will
result. Reports from up the river as far as
its source report a continued rise.
At Leavenworth the railroad bridge in now
in danger.
At North Argentine the situation is becom-
ing worse. The electric light plant has been
obliged to cease operations, and the town Is
in darkness. The water flooded the homes
of many people, and they were Obliged TO
move out.
A portion of the stock yards at Armour
dale is flooded, and people are moving from
their homes there.

sThe New HospltaI.

The Whiting property, 100 by $50
feet, on the southwest corner of Sixth
and Jefferson streets, has been bought
for $4,000 cash by the board of trus-
tees of the A. T. & S. F. Hospital asso-
citation. A complete modern hospital,
to cost from $4,000 to $4,000 is to
be erected there, with the plan of having
it completed by August next.
The hospital will accommodate be-
tween sixty and seventy patients. 1t
will have a full corps of surgeons and
attendants, and it will doubtless be, in
plans, equipment and modern improve
ments, the best hospital west of the
Mississippi. The new hospital will be
directly serviceable to about 5000 Santa
Fe employees, but as the specialists in
the medical department and the head
quarters are located in Topeka, it will
be utilized, more or less, for the entire
system.
The beneficiary organization now
known as the A, T. & S. F. Hospital
association was first organized April 1,
1888, by DIR. Hogeboom, chief surgeon
of the road. 1t is conceded that from
that time to the present it has given
more surgical and medical aid to the
employees of the Santa Fe than any
other system or road in the United
States, and it is doing more in that di-
rection now than ever before under the
efficient management of DR.. Hogeboom,
who, as chief surgeon of the Santa Fe,
has been interested and active in the
welfare of the association from the day
he suggested its formation.

two story buildings were swept away. The
buildings which are twisted or carried short
distance are innumerable.
The water was far above the second stories,
with a swift current and the wind blowing a
hurricane. Everywhere fences, outhouseS,
sidewalks, wooden pavements, railroad ties
and timbers and lumber yard debris is scat
tered about among the contOrted and over

One-HaIf of Des MoInes.

DIES MONIES, Ia, May 21.-The situation
here Is very serious on account of the flood.
Hundreds of people are moving out of the
lower districts. The Des MOines and Rae
coon rivers have both been rising rapidly.
They are several inches higher than they have
been at any time during the present season.
The reports have reached here from points
above that eight feet of rise has been noted
there. With this flood above the Des Moines
river at this point it is liable to rise another
foot. If it does that, or even less, one-half
the city, including some of the business pOr-
tons on either side, will be surrounded with
