ESPECIAL TO THE NEWS,

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 20.-Burg CESS Nc
Luckie of Homestead, was liberated on
bonds of 5000 this morning.
Friends Of McLuckie furnished bail and
he was set at liberty by Judge Magee. His
application for bail was as follows:
"Your petitioner AYERS that he Is not guilty
of the crime charged, and that the same Is not
brought In good faith further that it was and
has been his endeavor to preserve the peace
and said complaint is unfounded."
Smoke was seen issuing from half q
dozen stacks at the Carnegie mills this
morning. Unusual activity was noticea-
BILE In the mills last night. preparations
evidently being under way for beginning
work soon. To morrow Is said to be tn e
critical day for both sides.
The Carnegie Company's ultimatum is
that 1t is the last day Of grace for the
strikers This morning 1t was reported
the mills Most OF the men are employed
In the mills where the plates are made for
armored vessels.
Four furnaces in the armour plate mill
are said to have been charged to-day. One
man In this mill is paid SIS day. All
employees will have to be paid days wages
for some time to come, ~ the tonnage at

be too trifiing to figure on.
The locked out men are undoubted nom
plussed and chagrined at the introduc-
ton OF as many men as have come in,
but comfort themselves by pointing to
the large margin between $50 and the
mills full complement Of $500.
A dual situation has been developed
within the works. The company has
failed where 1t expected to succeed and TO
some extent succeeded where it feared
failure.
It has practically given up hopes of Sc
curing enough mechanics to make extern
sive repairs, but by the payment uf enor-
nous wages hopes to be able to start the
part OF the plant which Is not in absolute
need Of patching.
The portion is, fortunately for the cor
poration, that engaged In the fulfilment
little actual work can be done the moral
effect of the uuwelcome knowledge that
part, at least, Of the works are In opera
tion will be important, especially now
that the Amalgamated is making such
desperate efforts to organize lodge at
Duquesne and to hold out the wavering
mechanics.
Gen. Snowden said this morning that
he knew nothing OF the report that a pro-
visional guari was to be formed and left
at Homestead after the departure of the
State militia.
Sc stated further that the State troops
would not leave Homestead until the
questions which caused the riots were set
tied apd until there was sufficient proof
that the presence of the soldiers was no
longer "A necessity.
The impression seems to be general that
the troops will start for home Friday.
General Snowden says he has not the
slightest idea when thew will leave.
"1'hey will certainly remain" he said,
until the sheriff who called for assist
ance assures me that the step can
be taken in safety"
The mysterious absence of leader Hugh
O'Donnell at this time haf caused much
bitter feeling among the workmen, and
has disnsarteaed many .on OF them ma The
morning that he had received telegram
from O'Donnell, stating that he would be
here to-day.
This news was hailed with joy by many
OF the down hearted men; 1t has been
learned that spies In the employ of the
bcrs of the Amafgamated Association
during the trouble and learned many of
their secrets.
Tue spies are said to be known and dire
threats are made against them. Capt. +.
Y. Beck, one OF the lawyers called in by
the company, say "our witnesses can iden'
tify all who were implicated in the riot.
"The company not only had Pinkerton
men on the ground, but other detectives
in the works These men saw the whole
battle. aud took notes OF names and
events, and they are prepared to identify
the men whom we have prosecuted and
those yet to be arrested as participants"
No further arrests have yet been made
today.
Gov. Pattison is still here. He will re-
main until Friday, but there is no more
talk Of demonstrations In his honor. The
bitter feeling that was engendered yester-
day when it was discovered that he was
staying in Supt. Potter's house has not
begun to subslde.
